"Is she afraid I'll kill you? Why?!"

For the first time, Xu Hao felt there were things he couldn't understand.

Truly, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!

"I understand Anna very well. Although I know she will torture and abuse me to avenge past grievances, the last thing she wants is for me to die!"

Miranda snorted coldly, "My father and her father have always been enemies. Although we met a long time ago and participated in gatherings together, our relationship has never been good, largely due to our fathers.

Moreover, because of our outstanding looks, we're hailed as the golden and silver twin flowers of Shatu State, attracting countless suitors. But no one has ever decided who is the golden flower and who is the silver flower. She thinks she's the golden flower, and I think I'm the golden flower. Neither of us can stand the other, fighting whenever we meet. Various grudges have built up. If she still hasn't outdone me and I die, she definitely won't be happy."

"...…"

Xu Hao was momentarily at a loss for words. Women are indeed troublesome. He changed the subject and said, "Let's go down and take a look. I won't be at ease leaving you here. If you get captured, it'll be troublesome."

"How do I go down?" Miranda asked.

"Of course, I'll carry you. How else would we go down? Or do you want me to hold you?" Xu Hao said casually.

"What's wrong with holding me? Do you think holding me would tarnish your reputation or something?" Miranda said arrogantly. "Don't get me started. Many people can't even catch a glimpse of me."

"Stop being narcissistic. I've met many beauties. If it wasn't for Anna asking me to bring you to Huadu, I would've dumped you in a brothel a long time ago." Xu Hao laughed faintly.

"You... shameless!"

Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, she immediately hugged her shoulders tightly, feeling she'd rather die than go to such a place.

"If you don't want a beating, then climb up yourself." Xu Hao said coldly.

"Hmph!"

Miranda snorted coldly, knowing she couldn't die even if she wanted to. If she didn't obey, she'd get beaten. She had no choice but to climb onto Xu Hao's back and wrap her arms tightly around his neck.

Miranda was slightly surprised in her heart. Xu Hao didn't seem particularly strong on the outside, looking rather thin. However, when she got closer and touched his back, she found it incredibly strong.

She shook her head slightly. Xu Hao, after all, was a Grandmaster Level Expert. In her eyes, someone like Xu Hao was very mysterious. She had never encountered a Grandmaster Level Expert before, only coming across Internal Energy Transformation or Mastery Period experts.

Those experts were treated like treasures by her father and others.

Xu Hao said coldly, "Hold on tight, or you might fall later."

"Hmph! Even if I fall, I'll grab you and pull you down. If I die, you can't live either!" Miranda said viciously.

"Don't worry, I won't die."

Xu Hao replied casually, then walked to the edge of the cliff and took a step forward.

"Ah!"

Seeing Xu Hao's feet leave the ground, Miranda instantly cried out in shock and even closed her eyes.

"What are you screaming for?!"

Xu Hao said discontentedly, and then Miranda felt someone had slapped her rear, making her want to touch it. But she quickly realized her hands mustn't leave Xu Hao's arms, so she hurriedly opened her eyes.

She immediately saw Xu Hao's hands gripping the rocks at the cliff's edge like iron arms.

"Why did you hit my rear?" Miranda, relieved there was no danger, immediately vented her anger. The latest chapters are uploaded first on *.

"Because you're not being honest. I dislike loud, screaming types." Xu Hao said flatly.

As he spoke, he moved his hands along the wall, each time leaving five deep tracks as if clawed by iron talons.

Miranda snorted and said, "You can't just hit my rear like that. No one has ever done that since I was a child!"

"Hit it and move on. So much nonsense! If you keep yapping, I'll seal your mute acupoints, and you won't utter a word! If you don't like it, hit back. If you can't, suck it up!" Xu Hao replied coldly.

"You...!" Miranda had never felt so humiliated before, being repeatedly insulted by Xu Hao, unable to retaliate!

Earlier, she talked about jumping, but now, looking down at the mist-shrouded, bottomless valley, she felt dizzy just glancing at it, let alone jumping off.

There's no way!

She suspected Xu Hao must have known she'd react this way all along. Otherwise, how could he be so assured to let her cling to his neck without tying her up with a rope to secure her to him?
