When Xiao Chen saw Hai Ling'er again, he still looked miserable. But in order to maintain his positive image in the eyes of the goddess, he did not say the real reason, but panicked, boasting that he had encountered a team of roaring kingdoms that infiltrated the old ghost mountain to investigate, and after a fierce battle of wits and courage, he finally escaped from the danger of life and death.

However, the fact is that as soon as his injuries in the Qinghu Department improved, he delusionally tried to hack Chen Ting and Shanliu Firefly, stealing chickens and eating a handful of rice, and was severely beaten by Chen Ting. If it weren't for the fact that he was carrying a few vicious life-saving things, I am afraid that he would have died in the Green Tiger Tribe.

The tragic experience made him scared and angry. He never thought that the two inconspicuous women around Zhou Fan would have such a strong strength. After escaping from the Green Tiger Division, Xiao Chen didn't care about the pain, and when the injury stabilized a little, he ran to the front line to join his old friend.

Facts have proved that Chen Ting and Shan Liuying are beyond his reach. He, Qu Mufeng, and Xiaohuan have long had a treacherous plan in front of him, and after he missed, he naturally could only hope for the other two accomplices.

In his opinion, after such a long time, with Qu Mufeng making a move, Zhou Ming must have perished long ago.

Little did he know that the situation was not what he expected.

Qu Mufeng died, and Xiaohuan also died. When he heard all this from Hai Ling'er's mouth, he couldn't close his mouth in shock. However, he saw another opportunity. He could see that Hai Ling'er was very sad, and the whole person looked quite lost. This gave him a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. As far as he knows, women are often the easiest to conquer in such vulnerable moments.

"Did you plan something behind my back?"

Hai Ling'er was injured a little, and she was in a bad mood, her expression was quite bleak, and she looked particularly pitiful. She suddenly looked directly into Xiao Chen's eyes and asked without warning.

In recent times, rumors of steppe butchers have not cooled down, but have become more intense. Some of the wounded in the advance army reported that they had fought alongside the butchers of the steppe, and even a scribbled portrait was circulated.

The true identity of the grassland butcher cannot be said to be a secret.

Those rumors, as well as the portrait of Hai Ling'er, have seen and heard. She was almost immediately sure who the so-called steppe butcher was. She was shocked by the truth. She never thought that the existence that made her new students admire would actually be the young man named Zhou Fan. Then she thought a lot. She thought of Qu Mufeng's sudden withdrawal, of Qu Mufeng's place of death, and of the coldness in the other party's eyes when she saw Zhou Ming again.

She had no doubt about Qu Mufeng and Xiaohuan's loyalty, on the contrary, she suddenly realized that it was precisely because they were too loyal that they would do some terrible stupid things. For example, behind her back in a vain attempt to kill Zhou Ming. As long as Zhou Ming is killed, won't the herd of beasts she longed for easily belong to her?

Xiao Chen, who was caught off guard, paused, and his expression instantly stiffened. He tried to avoid Hai Linger's gaze, but failed. The eyes that looked directly at him seemed to have some kind of enchanting magic, reaching the bottom of his heart. Hai Ling'er, who was half-demon, seemed to have used some kind of ability against Xiao Chen. He couldn't take his eyes off it at all. This made Xiao Chen's heart extremely frizzy and felt uneasy. Only then did he realize that Hai Ling'er already knew something, and he was very angry.

"We had a plan......

He didn't lie anymore, and answered Hai Linger's question honestly and positively.

Hai Ling'er's eyes froze, the look of disappointment could not be concealed, and there was even a burst of murderous intent in her eyes.

Xiao Chen's heart couldn't help but become even more uneasy, and he hurriedly defended: "However, Qu Mufeng and Xiao Bad are already dead......!

At this, he paused again. He thought of an extremely terrifying possibility: Qu Mufeng and Xiaohuan, could they have been killed when they attacked Zhou Fan?

Thinking of this, he quickly closed his mouth.

Hai Ling'er's face was already covered with frost, and she gritted her silver teeth angrily and said, "Do you know what a terrible disaster you have caused?"

Swearing to the sky, Xiao Chen had never seen Hai Ling'er so out of shape. From Hai Linger's words, he actually heard deep fear.

What the hell is going on?

He admitted that Zhou Fan was quite strong, but not so strong.

What is Hai Ling'er afraid of?

Is it, is it ...... She had an admiration for Zhou Fan's bastard?

Admiration!

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen had a sense of sudden enlightenment.

――Is it our plan to kill Zhou Ming that we caused an irresolvable misunderstanding between them?

"Ling'er, Zhou Fan has nothing to be afraid of. He's going to take revenge, come on! I've contacted a few of my friends, and they'll be here to join me in the near future. When the time comes, as long as Zhou Fan dares to show up, I will definitely ask him to pay for his blood debts! Qu Mufeng and Xiaohuan will not sacrifice in vain!"

Xiao Chen's jealousy fire was burning in his chest, and he swore to meet Hai Ling'er's gaze.

"You're still thinking of killing him?"

When Hai Ling'er heard this, she unexpectedly showed a smile, a bleak and mournful smile, and didn't look at Xiao Chen again, her eyes drifted to the vast grassland outside the stronghold, and she murmured dismally: "Do you know who the grassland butcher is? This name was killed by him on the grassland in half a month! Grassland butcher, you and your friends are really sure?"

"Gah?"

Xiao Chen's expression froze again, his mouth opened wide, like a stupid bird, and he couldn't speak. Although he has only been in the stronghold for a short time, the reputation of the grassland butcher has already been heard like thunder. Originally, he was still very curious about where such a fierce person was sacred, but he never thought that it would be the young man they planned to get rid of.

Hai Ling'er's words were tantamount to a thunderbolt that slammed on the top of Xiao Chen's head.

“...... So what are we going to do?"

Xiao Chen's face became more and more ugly, and finally he was as pale as paper. He looked at Hai Ling'er in embarrassment and horror, and asked uneasily. He finally understood why Hai Ling'er was afraid.

"We?"

Hai Ling'er raised her eyebrows indifferently, glanced at Xiao Chen with a side face and said, "You still think about yourself!"

This is a kind reminder from Hai Linger. Before that, she had been in contact with Zhou Ming. If Zhou Ming had the intention to retaliate against her, I'm afraid he would have done it a long time ago. She knew that the main reason she was spared was that she had a clear conscience. However, Xiao Chen is different.

"Ling'er, what about you?"

Xiao Chen's face changed sharply, and he looked at Hai Ling'er incredulously. All he could think of now was to run away. He thought that Hai Linger would be with him, but the reality did not seem to be so.

"I'll explain it to Zhou Fan. ”

Hai Ling'er's expression was serious, and her tone was also very firm, she didn't look back, just waved her hand and said, "So, you run away now!" I know that you are interested in me, but I have never been interested in you from beginning to end. When we meet, we are just a travel companion after all. That's it, so don't leave it at that!"

"Is that all?Hai Ling'er, you ......?"

Xiao Chen staggered backwards as if he had been hit by an invisible blow, and suddenly looked at Hai Ling'er's back as if he was crazy...... Hai Ling'er, Zhou Fan, I want you not to die well!"

Xiao Chen's reaction was something Hai Ling'er hadn't expected. She didn't expect this young man to be so fragile and twisted inside.

"Don't you want to die?"

Hai Ling'er turned around and looked directly at Xiao Chen. At that moment, there was a clear killing intent circulating in her eyes.

Xiao Chen shrunk his neck, and the rest of the vicious words were swallowed back by him. He looked at Hai Ling'er gloomily and resentfully, and his figure kept retreating. He's leaving, but he'll definitely come back. He swore in his heart that when he came back, he would have to die without a place to be buried, and he would want Hai Ling'er to live and not die......
