Chapter 15: A True Man
Fang Yuan: "Take care of each other? What do I need you for?"
Ge Yao immediately raised her head: "Don't you know the poison grassland is filled with purple poison fog and you will be poisoned if you breathe it for a long time. I have detoxification Gu worms with me. Also the deeper you go, the denser the poison fog will become as ghosts and spirits will also appear.
At that time, you won't be able to distinguish the direction, and only my return heart Gu can point out the correct way back."
Guuuu...
As the girl said this, her stomach suddenly let out a hungry rumbling sound.
Fang Yuan glanced at her stomach and the girl immediately felt her face go red.
She explained while stammering: "This… my big stomach horse was eaten by the poison beard wolves. My primeval stones and rations were all stored there."
Fang Yuan curiously asked: "Since your father is Ge tribe's tribe leader, why are you - his own daughter - using such a common mount?"
"Sigh, he kept my Gu away from me. Being able to escape alone with a big stomach horse and preparing so much resources was already amazing!"
Ge Yao spoke frankly but right after saying it, she felt something wrong and her expression turned sluggish as she realized what she had said.
"Escaped? Could it be that you are escaping from marriage?" Fang Yuan raised his brows.
The little girl exclaimed in surprise and looked at Fang Yuan with wide eyes: "Do you have mind reading Gu? How did you know?"
Without giving her any answer Fang Yuan took out food from moving perspective cup Gu and gave them to Ge Yao.
This girl seemed to be very hungry; she wolfed down the food and rolled her eyes, slurring her words: "It was Man Duo of Man tribe who wanted to marry me. He is Man tribe leader's third son and is thin and small, like a monkey. Moreover, he is suffering from illness and only has rank two cultivation. Usually, he would rely on his father to act tyrannically in his tribe.
He has not the slightest bit of heroic spirit! I don't want to marry to such a good-for-nothing."
"But Man tribe was a huge force while our Ge tribe has just migrated over with greatly reduced strength. Man tribe's betrothal gift was also very grand and they also promised to give a piece of fertile grassland to my Ge tribe. Father wanted these gifts and tried to marry me off. And so in my fury, I fled. Warrior Chang Shan Yin, how about you snatch me?"
Fang Yuan laughed: "I have no interest in you, eat quickly, we will leave after you are full."
Ge Yao's dark pupils darted around: "There is another method, that is, you can marry into my Ge tribe. According to the grassland customs, only a brave warrior can possess beauties. Even if Man tribe wants to find trouble, it has to be done according to the customs; Man Duo, that skinny monkey would have to challenge you to a fight.
Warrior Chang Shan Yin, you are so strong, you will certainly beat that Man Duo to a pulp!"
Fang Yuan stopped smiling: "I said I don't have any interest in you."
Ge Yao, however, became even more passionate and displayed northern plains women's characteristic boldness and wildness: "Why don't you have any interest? Could it be that I am not beautiful? I am the flower of Ge tribe, that kid Man Duo glanced at me from afar and fell for me at first sight, asking his father to propose the marriage!
Warrior Chang Shan Yin, there are benefits for you as well in living with my Ge tribe. You are an outsider, if you don't marry into the tribe, others will not take you as one of their own and you will suffer exclusion and vigilance in northern plains."
Fang Yuan said with a solemn tone: "I said I am a northern plains native."
Ge Yao gave a sweet smile: "Warrior, you can't deceive me. Your accent revealed your background, and your food is also not the northern plain's biscuits and dried meat. Just take me, don't you think our encounter is the arrangement of longevity heaven?"
"Let me consider it for a while, don't be in such a hurry to decide." Fang Yuan said and gave some primeval stones to Ge Yao.
Ge Yao nodded: "You have to think about it properly… properly."
She took the primeval stones and said with a cautious tone: "I will return these primeval stones to you in the future."
Fang Yuan nodded.
Ge Yao did not speak anymore and concentrated on absorbing the primeval stones to replenish her primeval essence and recover her strength as fast as possible.
As they continued moving deeper into the poison grassland, the thin poison in the air gradually became denser. They were unnoticeable before to the naked eyes, but now one could clearly see the light purple color.
"Stop, there is a wolf pack!" Ge Yao suddenly stopped, her gaze revealing panic.
Fang Yuan stopped, and after three breaths of time, he discovered the tracks of the wolf pack with his investigative Gu worm.
The wolf pack's excited howls got louder and louder.
Soon, hundreds of poison beard wolves appeared in their vision.
"So many wolves!" Ge Yao's face turned pale and her delicate body trembled as she took in a breath of cold air. The wolf pack's numbers were many times higher than the previous ones, reaching close to a thousand.
"Hmph, what are you panicking for? Just protect yourself." Fang Yuan snorted and fiercely stomped his foot, charging forward.
Ge Yao exclaimed in shock at this, she wanted to call out to Fang Yuan but he had already entered the wolf pack.
"Warrior Chang Shan Yin, don't die!" The girl immediately looked at the center of the wolf pack.
She was almost stunned at the sight.
The scene she saw was not what she had expected, she only saw Fang Yuan charging all over the wolf pack, every collision would send large numbers of poison beard wolves flying.
"This is a true man!" She exclaimed in her mind and after disposing of the poison beard wolves around her, she shouted loudly and sent the water dragon to kill the wolf pack.
She was after all a rank three middle stage Gu Master, she was not to be underestimated. The wolf pack immediately turned chaotic from the attacks and a large portion of them rushed towards her.
Fang Yuan's expression changed as he shouted: "Who told you to come? Move to the side!"
The girl's face turned pale at the wolf pack's counterattack and immediately retreated.
Fang Yuan continued to attack with boundless vigor and after spending a huge effort, he finally turned the wolf pack's attention back to him.
After some time, he suddenly activated a beast phantom and smashed the wolf king's defense.
Taking this chance, he got close to the wolf king and pressed its skull down to the ground, then he ruthlessly smashed it.
It was a brutal scene. This wolf king that was on the verge of becoming a thousand beast king was beaten to death by Fang Yuan.
