CHAPTER 458: CHAPTER 455: GAINED TWO LACKEYS (SIXTH UPDATE)

Lu Yuanfeng used the firewood in the cave to set up a rack, cut the wolf meat into pieces, and roasted them separately.

He also cut a bit more meat and washed the wolf meat clean using the spring water in the cave.

The rainstorm came with a fierce momentum. Outside the cave, bean-sized raindrops were continuously pattering down merrily.

Lu Yuanfeng roasted the meat while Mu Shuangshuang tidied up in the cave, checking to see if there were any clues to be found.

Perhaps due to the passage of time, apart from a bundle of already dried flowers at the bedside and the box Lu Yuanfeng had seen, there was nothing else.

However, judging from the thick layer of dust on the bed, it seemed no one had lived here for several years.

While contemplating, a sparse noise came from outside the cave.

The Huang Brothers, covered in mud and unable to see clearly, stumbled upon the cave by accident, with Huang Er leading the way.

"Second Brother, there’s a cave here! I smell meat; I’m so hungry!"

As soon as Huang Er’s voice reached the cave, Mu Shuangshuang grabbed Lu Yuanfeng’s bow and arrow.

Such is the narrow road fate brings foes to!

Huang Da, filthy all over, heard his brother’s words and quickly headed towards the cave. Just as he saw the firelight, an arrow whizzed by, shooting directly at Huang Er’s feet.

Scared, Huang Er bounced to the side of the cave wall, his arm hitting the cave wall so painfully that cold sweat broke out.

Both were terrified.

Through the firelight, they could only see two shadows. Before they could look up, two more arrows were shot simultaneously.

Coincidentally, they also landed by their feet.

Huang Da realized they had encountered a master.

He nudged Huang Er, and they both shouted into the cave.

"Great hero, we brothers mean no offense, but it’s raining so hard outside. We saw this cave and just came in to take a look. Please be kind!"

Inside the cave, it was quiet. Lu Yuanfeng let Mu Shuangshuang play with the bow and arrow. With him watching, nothing would happen. And if anything did, he would be on Shuangshuang’s side.

The wolf meat on the rack gradually started to smell fragrant from the roasting. Having skipped breakfast, Huang Da and Huang Er’s stomachs growled even louder with hunger.

"Big Bro, let’s rush in. Little brother here is starving to death!" Huang Er said pitifully.

"Do you know what you’re saying? You’re crazy. They have arrows. If they casually shoot us with an arrow or two and make holes in us, what can you do?"

Huang Da gave Huang Er a disapproving look but couldn’t stop drooling from his mouth.

What the heck is so fragrant?

Inside the cave, Mu Shuangshuang had already prepared another three arrows. This time, if Huang Da and Huang Er dared to come in, she wouldn’t be polite at all!

Knowing what Shuangshuang wanted to do, Lu Yuanfeng cooperated by staying silent, concentrating on roasting the meat.

This was a game of wits. If Huang Da and Huang Er were smart, it would be fine. If not, Mu Shuangshuang’s arrows wouldn’t spare them.

At the cave entrance, as soon as there was movement, Mu Shuangshuang fired three arrows simultaneously, though they didn’t hit anyone. Huang Da and Huang Er found a large branch outside the cave for cover.

This time, Huang Da and Huang Er could clearly see the people inside the cave.

It was Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.

"It’s you!" Huang Da exclaimed.

At that moment, Mu Shuangshuang stood up from the stone bed, grabbed a nearby rope, and hooked it around Huang Er.

Huang Er was pulled to Mu Shuangshuang’s side.

With a loud "slap," a palm struck Huang Er’s face.

Huang Er’s eyes instantly sparkled with stars, his ears buzzing like a mosquito’s hum.

He looked at Mu Shuangshuang in terror. Before he could say anything, Mu Shuangshuang slapped him again.

She said, "Scream! Why aren’t you screaming? Treating others’ lives like trash is fun for you, isn’t it? Keep playing!"

Another loud slap; Huang Er’s cheeks were swollen high, Mu Shuangshuang almost using her full strength.

"You treacherous creature, we went out of our way to save you and your brother, yet you dare to put us in danger!"

"And just now, not only did you not help when we asked, but you ran faster than a rabbit. Do you think I won’t hold you accountable?"

Huang Er was about to cry, and Huang Da even more so.

By the fire, Lu Yuanfeng sat silently on the stone bed, saying nothing but focused on roasting the meat, exuding a terrifying aura.

Huang Da had an instinct that if anything happened to this young woman in front of them today, both he and his brother would be dead.

Some people, without saying a word, possess a presence that naturally instills fear in others.

Some people, even when roaring, feel like they are bluffing.

Lu Yuanfeng was the former!

"Brother, save me, save me..." Huang Er cried out in pain, pleading with his brother.

"Brother, brother, you should apologize to this lady quickly..." Huang Da said fearfully.

"Big brother..." Huang Er couldn’t believe his brother was saying such defeatist words.

"Still calling him big brother means it doesn’t hurt, huh!"

Mu Shuangshuang kicked Huang Er to the ground and started punching him furiously.

The whole cave resounded only with the sound of fists landing and Mu Shuangshuang’s warning voice.

Huang Da was dumbfounded, watching Mu Shuangshuang stop.

Huang Er had been beaten black and blue, unrecognizable even to his brother Huang Da.

"Boo hoo hoo..." Huang Er cried sorrowfully, his face smeared with tears and snot.

"I was wrong... I was wrong..."

Mu Shuangshuang snorted coldly, having no sympathy for such cowards!

"Hey, hurry up and drag your brother away to avoid dirtying my place!"

Mu Shuangshuang gave Huang Da a disdainful look, her eyes expressing an unmistakable warning.

Huang Da stepped forward, dragging his brother aside.

Just at that moment, Lu Yuanfeng’s wolf meat was ready.

He took the wolf meat off the grill and placed it upright to cool.

Only then did Huang Da and Huang Er notice that what Lu Yuanfeng had been roasting was actually wolf meat!

This guy was impressive, managing to take down a wolf.

Huang Da and Huang Er had never hunted a wolf in their lives. The best they’d ever done was catch a small sika deer, and that was only with both of them working together for several days until the deer was exhausted.

Huang Da was full of regret, wondering how he could be so stupid as to offend such a big man.

"Brother Lu, in the past we made mistakes. In the future, my brother and I will obey your every command. If you tell us to go east, we dare not go west. If you tell us to dive into the sea, we won’t dare to fly in the sky. Please, take us in!"

While saying this, Huang Da pinched Huang Er’s side. Already in pain, Huang Er howled even louder because of the pinch.

Under the pressure of his brother’s intimidation, he nodded.

"At Brother Lu’s service!"

Hearing the Huang Brothers’ words, Mu Shuangshuang choked on a mouthful of meat, unable to swallow or spit it out. Finally, it was Lu Yuanfeng who helped pat her back, allowing her to cough it up.
