Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded. As long as this little thief dared to come ashore, he would definitely kill him.
Everyone paddled to the bank of the stream and disembarked. Li Naifeng plopped onto the ground, "Finally out of this damned water cave."
The space inside the cave was narrow, and even with his exceptional Qinggong, he couldn't fully utilize it. But the shore was different.
As long as he wished, even an immortal might not be able to catch him.
This was no exaggeration.
The group waited for over ten minutes, but neither Su Lai nor the other fellow appeared.
Zhang Xiaoqiang began to panic, "Master Yu, has Old Su gotten into trouble?"
Yu Daochen also felt a bit tense. So much time had passed, and there was still no sign of Su Lai.
Just as they were about to paddle their bamboo raft to search, a head emerged from the water.
Everyone looked closely and saw it was Su Lai, swimming over breathlessly.
They hurried forward to help him ashore. Su Lai's face was pale, but he was extremely excited, "I slapped him four times, I slapped him four times."
Seeing Su Lai's pale face, everyone guessed he hadn't fared well in the water. However, upon hearing that he had slapped the other guy four times, they didn't know what to say.
Was this a loss or not a loss?
In a sense, Su Lai had indeed won, but it seemed he hadn't.
Here, silence spoke louder than words, and not winning was like winning.
Applause, if you understand.
Su Lai sat on the ground, panting heavily, clearly exhausted.
Just then, another head emerged from the water.
Yu Daochen and the others all looked over. The monkey in the water was cursing, "You son of a bitch, if you have the guts, don't run! Running away, what kind of hero are you?"
Su Lai started to act shamelessly, "What are you barking about? You're the one I slapped four times, what are you yelling about?"
"I ****." The monkey in the water became furious, "If you have the guts, come down!"
It was clear that Su Lai's four slaps were extremely insulting. Although they only caused 0.5 points of physical damage, the psychological damage was 99+.
Unable to fight, Su Lai began to mock, "If you have the guts, come up!"
The monkey knew that if he went up, he would be ganged up on. He could only continue to curse, "If you're a man, come down and let's have a one-on-one."
Su Lai was now acting completely shamelessly, "If you have the guts, come up!"
Seeing how utterly shameless Su Lai was, the monkey was helpless and could only resort to verbal attacks, "If you're a man, come down for a one-on-one."
Su Lai wouldn't dare to go down now and continued his shamelessness, "If you're a man, come up for a one-on-one."
Although the monkey was angry, he wasn't so foolish as to be blinded by rage. Would Yu Daochen and the others not intervene if he went up?
No one would believe that.
The monkey and Su Lai were now like Zhang Shun and Li Kui in Water Margin: one dared not come up, the other dared not go down.
"Running away when you can't win, what kind of hero are you? Do you dare to come down and fight?"
The monkey was still chattering, determined to avenge those four slaps.
"Are you new to this world? If you have the guts, come up and fight. Grandpa Su will let you have two hands," Su Lai mocked, with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and the others beside him could only shake their heads helplessly. Honestly, if they went down, they really couldn't beat this guy.
Yu Daochen, taking advantage of the monkey's inattention, picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it.
The monkey was in a fit of rage and was engaged in a verbal spat with Su Lai. Caught off guard, he was hit on the head by the stone, and blood immediately flowed.
Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly reacted and picked up a stone from the ground, throwing it.
Li Naifeng and Su Lai, seeing this, also picked up stones and threw them.
Da Hu, standing by, shook his head helplessly.
Why were these guys so despicable?
Despite his thoughts, Da Hu instinctively bent down to pick up a stone.
The monkey quickly dived into the water to evade, and after a while, he resurfaced, cursing, "What kind of heroes are you? If you have the guts, come down for a spar."
Yu Daochen and the others paid no mind to his words, picking up stones from the ground and unleashing a barrage.
The monkey was inwardly furious. He couldn't win the verbal argument, they wouldn't dare to come down and fight, and if he went up, he would be at a disadvantage.
After much hesitation, the monkey ultimately chose to leave, muttering, "This infuriates me, this infuriates me!"
He, Ni Kun, had been in the jianghu for so many years, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Seeing the monkey leave in frustration, Yu Daochen and the others continued their journey.
After passing through this mountain and walking for twenty minutes, they would see a stretch of peach blossoms, which was Peach Blossom Village.
The group soon saw a peach grove ahead, a beautiful expanse of pink.
Petals drifted down, and Su Lai reached out to catch one, "The peach blossoms here are exceptionally beautiful, their colors more vibrant than those outside. But why do I smell a hint of blood?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Li Naifeng beside him were completely captivated by the scenery and didn't notice what Su Lai had said.
Yu Daochen, lacking a sense of smell, couldn't detect it either, but the scenery was indeed enchanting.
"Brother Da Hu, do you feel anything unusual?" Yu Daochen asked Da Hu beside him.
Da Hu shook his head, looking confused, "No, why?"
"It's nothing," Yu Daochen shook his head. He felt something was amiss.
It seemed that from the first moment he saw these peach blossoms, he had been drawn to them.
Perhaps his nerves were simply too taut.
Yu Daochen shook his head helplessly and followed the others towards Peach Blossom Village.
He hoped he was just overthinking things.
