Zhangjiajie, at the edge of the forest.
At that mont, a helicopter was parked there.
Mary, dressed in a sexy black leather jacket and pants, along with sunglasses, looked very cool.
Two bodyguards stood far behind this attractive beauty, their expressions stern.
"Your father has sent in so many people into the forbidden area over the years, but what has been found? After all this ti, it's just a waste of money and ti, aimlessly fussing over it."
At that ti, a woman just a few years older than Mary walked down from the helicopter.
The woman, dressed like a lady of wealth, was holding a parasol and looked very impatient as she spoke.
Mary clearly despised this woman. "If you don't want to wait here, you can just leave now. No one asked you to co!"
"You!" The woman was so choked by Mary's words that she didn't know what to say. "Mary, you rember now, I am now your father's wife, from any perspective, you should respect !"
The woman snorted coldly as she spoke to Mary.
Mary scoffed disdainfully. "You're only after my dad's money, aren't you? I don't believe for one second that you climbed into my dad's bed for love!"
The woman did not expect Mary to be so blunt, her words hitting her hard.
"You... you..." The woman couldn't say anything for a long ti.
This woman, Mary's stepmother, was nad Zhang Lu. She was at most three years older than Mary but was considered of a senior generation. Mary often talked back to her stepmother, and the two were like natural enemies, constantly arguing whenever they t.
At that mont, Mary was no longer concerned about that woman. She looked at her watch. According to logic, today was the day the forbidden area would be closed. However, the direction of the forbidden area in the forest was still ominously quiet.
Just then, a loud sound suddenly occurred, and the entire ground began to shake violently.
Zhang Lu, frightened by the sudden tremor, scread repeatedly, "Quickly, get on the plane, is there an earthquake happening here!"
While saying this, Zhang Lu quickly boarded the plane.
Mary snorted softly. "Why are you so afraid of dying? Are you scared you might die before my dad and end up empty-handed!"
"Mary! Enough!" Zhang Lu said irritably at that ti. "Your father has sent so many groups of people, to the forbidden area to find your grandfather's remains, and for so many years they have found nothing. Hitn, veterans, rcenaries, even experts of Ancient Martial Arts, each group more formidable than the last... If they couldn't find him, how could the person you brought find anything!"
Ding Fan was soone recomnded by Mary, and at this mont, Zhang Lu directed all her accusations towards Mary.
"Zhang Lu, are you targeting now?" Mary said with an unfriendly face.
Zhang Lu didn't back down this ti. "The person you brought will never find your grandfather's remains! I won't stupidly stay here waiting with you."
Mary scoffed. "What if my person finds my grandfather's remains?"
"If they find your grandfather's corpse, then whatever you say, I'll do!" Zhang Lu said.
Mary nodded. "Good. If they find my grandfather's remains, then you have to kowtow thirty tis to . If not, I'm willing to kowtow thirty tis to you. How about that?!"
Zhang Lu snorted. "Fine, don't say just thirty, a hundred I'm willing too. Just don't go back on your word when the ti cos!"
In Zhang Lu's view, how could the people Mary invited find her grandfather's remains? So many impressive individuals had been sent out before, and none found her grandfather's remains, and so many years had passed, how could this ti be any different?
What a joke!
"Don't worry, when I, Mary, make a promise, I keep it," Mary snorted coldly, her gaze fixed on the depths of the forest.
"This ti you're definitely going to lose!" Zhang Lu said, watching Mary's back.
Just then, a rustling sound ca from the deep part of the forest, clearly soone was coming out from there at that ti.
The direction of the rustling was exactly from the forbidden area. Mary's face imdiately looked troubled.
Previously, those who entered the forbidden area had never co out; now footsteps were heard from that direction, could it be that the person Mary had hired this ti was indeed incredible and had actually found her grandfather's remains?
At this mont, Mary was also intently looking towards the direction of the sound.
About a minute later, a moose bolted out from the forest and, upon seeing Mary and Zhang Lu, got scared and quickly retreated back into the depths of the forest.
Only then did Zhang Lu breathe a sigh of relief.
She looked triumphantly at Mary, thinking to herself. She had just been worrying unnecessarily, how could anyone possibly co out from the forbidden area. She was just scaring herself.
"Mary, let's go. Considering I'm your stepmother, I really wouldn't make you kowtow those thirty tis,"
Zhang Lu said from the side.
"Don't worry; no matter who you are, if I win, you'll still have to kowtow thirty tis to !" Mary snorted coldly.
"You!" Zhang Lu always lost to Mary in argunts, constantly being at a disadvantage.
Just then, another set of footsteps ca from deep within the forest.
Having had the experience with the elk before, Zhang Lu didn't even consider the possibility of soone coming out. She took out her watch. "I'll wait for you half an hour more. If soone really cos out of the forbidden zone, that should be enough ti for them to get here."
At this ti, Mary didn't say much, her attention fully focused on the source of the sounds.
As the sounds drew closer, Mary's heart also rose to her throat.
Finally, from behind a pile of dead grass blocking Mary's view, a figure erged; upon seeing who it was, Mary's eyes involuntarily brightened.
"Ding Fan!"
The person who ca out, clearly visible to Mary, could be none other than Ding Fan.
As the forbidden domain was closing, Ding Fan had blasted open an exit and co out with Lady Fang in his arms, while Cheng Qian and the rest who had exited the forbidden domain dispersed on their own.
Mary turned her head and snorted softly at Zhang Lu sitting in the helicopter. "I advise you to find a soft place for that; otherwise, kowtowing can really damage your kneecaps!"
Having said that, Mary imdiately rushed toward the direction where Ding Fan had appeared.
"How... how is this possible?!" Mary stared at Ding Fan, dumbfounded.
Over the years, no one who had been sent into the forbidden domain had ever co out--she truly didn't understand how Ding Fan had managed it. Could it be that this man was truly so capable that he had managed to carry his grandfather's remains out of the forbidden domain?
Mary rushed to Ding Fan's side and imdiately noticed the beauty he was carrying.
"Young Master Ding, I really admire you. You keep a bunch of charming won at ho, and in the forbidden domain, you can even hook up with such top-tier beauties!" Mary exclaid after sizing up Lady Fang in Ding Fan's arms.
Given Mary's beauty, anyone she regarded as beautiful must definitely be extraordinarily gorgeous.
Lady Fang, lying in his arms, blushed deeply when Mary said this. Her cheeks turned as red as ripened apples.
They were so lustrously tempting that one could hardly resist biting into them.
"No... it's not like that, I was saved by Ding Fan in the forbidden domain... Ding Fan is my lifesaver..." Lady Fang, concerned about potentially causing unnecessary trouble for Ding Fan, hurriedly explained.
"That's fine; Young Master Ding loves rescuing beauties... If it weren't like that, how could he possibly be the man I, Mary, would fancy!"
After saying this, Mary brazenly walked over and draped her arm around Ding Fan's shoulder.
Ding Fan was truly speechless. Mary was indeed a fairy and could never change her fairy-like nature no matter the circumstance.
"My friend is injured; let's find a nearby hospital to treat her as soon as possible," Ding Fan said, not having ti to chat casually with Mary.
Mary nodded. "That won't be a problem."
Mary then pointed to the helicopter behind her. "The plane is right behind us, and we can take your friend to the hospital first."
Ding Fan nodded.
"Young Master Ding, regarding our expedition to the forbidden domain, I'm not sure if we found what we were looking for..."
Mary hadn't finished her sentence when Ding Fan took out several pieces of Mysterious Ice from his storage ring.
Inside four chunks of ice that were as tall as a person, four distinctly posed individuals were encased, their features vividly preserved. Mary recognized the person encased in one of the chunks on her first glance.
"Grandfather..."
Mary had been held by her grandfather when she was young and still rembered his features distinctly, at this mont seeing a family mber's unchanged face before her, even the normally brash Mary couldn't help shedding tears.
After Ding Fan took out the ice, Zhang Lu also ca over from the plane. Upon seeing the people inside the ice, her eyes widened.
In Zhang Lu's view, Mary's grandfather had been missing for so many years that even if he were found, he would surely be just a pile of bones.
But what Zhang Lu truly did not expect was that Mary's grandfather's body would still be preserved so well.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's get settled and hurry to transport the ice back," Ding Fan said to Mary.
Mary knew Ding Fan's words made sense. She imdiately nodded and busied herself instructing her bodyguards to load the ice containing her grandfather's body onto the plane.
As for the other chunks of ice containing bodies, Mary made a call and summoned another plane to transport those chunks back to Yanjing.
At this mont, Zhang Lu hung her head, not daring to look at Mary. She was genuinely afraid of the little fairy asking her to kowtow.
How could this little fairy know such incredibly capable people?!
