CHAPTER 123: 123: BEAUTY BEAUTY BEAUTY (3)_1

"Thanks," she said, baring her small, white teeth with a very happy expression. But as soon as she stepped outside, not yet entering the mountain, she heard a series of hurried footsteps.

"Hmm?"

Looking back, her face instantly darkened.

Liang Yuening was holding an ax, casting a disdainful glance at Dong Huiying before snorting coldly.

"Pfft," she rolled her eyes and then picked up her pace walking faster and faster until she even started sprinting.

Liang Yuening cursed loudly and then chased after Dong Huiying with heavy breaths.

Dong Huiying’s face turned even darker.

"Liang Yuening!"

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, panting and glaring at the man who had been doggedly following her.

"Will this ever end?" This guy must be addicted, right?

"You—" He glared and then turned his face away, muttering softly, "Why so fierce!"

"So, it’s my fault again?"

No justice at all. "The road leads to heaven; let’s go our separate ways. Can you please stop following me?"

"Hmph!" He scoffed coldly. "Like you said, the road leads to heaven; let’s go our separate ways. I’m not following you; it’s just on my way."

Dong Huiying was about to explode with anger.

"On your way?" That excuse again; every time this kid followed her and got caught, he would always use ’on my way’ as an excuse.

"Fine!" Clenching her teeth, she stopped walking, folding her arms to wait for him to leave before heading to the mountain.

Liang Yuening was taken aback for a moment. Then, looking sour, he glanced at her coldly and snorted as he passed by her, glaring at her fiercely.

Dong Huiying just sneered, completely dismissing his hostility. Anyway, this kid had always looked at her unfavorably, coincidentally, she felt the same about him.

After waiting for a while, Liang Yuening had walked far away. She then made a face, turned on her heels, and chose another direction.

The Taihang Mountain, also called the Taihang Mountain Range, is full of majestic peaks with steep and rugged terrain, as well as vast expanses.

But what Dong Huiying didn’t know was that, shortly after she left, Liang Yuening, with a pout, stepped out from behind a large tree.

...

The sun at noon was intense, hanging in the sky like the Pearl Jade Disc. But Dong Huiying had been climbing all day, and even though it wasn’t hot at the moment, she still broke out in a sweat.

"Totally exhausted,"

The mountain stream was crystal clear. Dong Huiying squatted by the water’s edge, scooping up a handful of cool water and splashing it on her face, feeling instantly refreshed.

Rolling up her sleeves to dry her face,

"Eh?"

Her nose twitched suddenly, her eyes brightened, and then with a ’whisk,’ she darted forward.

"Elm tree money?"

Heavy clusters hung from the branches.

She stood on tiptoe to pluck a handful, smiling like a little miser.

"This stuff is great. ’This classic’ states: Elm seeds, relieve diuresis and swelling, treat carbuncles and back sores, help with urinary obstruction, clear the waterways, and remove bad energy. Plus, they have good nutritional value, rich in phosphorus, calcium, iron, and vitamin A; you can make soup or pastries with them. Most importantly, it’s free, use the mountain for food, use the water for drink, this saying is so true."

After eating some elm tree money, she was in a great mood.

Heavy breathing came from behind her. Turning around, oh wow, a wild pig, fat and strong, likely weighing a hundred pounds.

Not bad at all, it seemed she made the right decision entering the mountain—this wild pig could be used for her own consumption or sold for meat, which was very nice.

And just at that moment, with a ’howl,’ the wild pig with its back to Dong Huiying suddenly let out a terrible scream.
