"Brother Ye, there are two roads here. Which one should we take?" Niu Kui pointed at a fork in the road and asked.

After two days of traveling, the two had already covered nearly five hundred miles, and the border of Mushan County was not far away.

Ye Haochuan took out a map and looked at it, finding that both roads could lead to Anxi County. However, one road was relatively flat but would take several more days. The other road was much more dangerous, involving crossing mountains and ridges, but it was much shorter.

Ye Haochuan thought for a moment and finally pointed at the steep road, "Let’s take this road. The sooner we get there, the less likely something unexpected will happen."

He didn’t want to experience the same thing that happened in Mushan City, where he missed Long Keyue because she arrived earlier than he did.

Niu Kui acknowledged with an "Oh" and started to lead the way.

Ye Haochuan rode swiftly on a Red Flame Horse to catch up.

This Red Flame Horse was bought in the previous town. In the Immortal Realm, traveling on foot could be quite exhausting, so he bought a means of transportation to save energy.

He originally wanted to buy one for Niu Kui as well, but the guy was just too heavy. Ordinary horses couldn’t carry him, and there weren’t any tamed High-Level Demon Beasts in the small town, so he had to walk.

However, Niu Kui’s running speed was quite fast. Although he couldn’t catch up with beings like the White Tiger, he could easily keep pace with the Red Flame Horse on foot.

This road, perhaps because so few had traveled it, had become overgrown with vegetation. Niu Kui continuously swung the Giant Que, cutting all the thorns and weeds into several pieces, revealing the path obscured by vegetation.

"I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die... Help me... Let me go, brother... I beg you..."

A sudden scream came from the distant forest. Along with the cries, there were also some gasps.

Then, a rough voice arrogantly said, "Heh heh, scream all you want, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to rescue you!"

Hearing this voice, Niu Kui’s expression changed instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "In broad daylight, someone dares to act recklessly, completely disregarding the law..."

With that, he leaped fiercely in the direction of the cries.

"Don’t go..." Ye Haochuan wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Niu Kui had already rushed over, followed by two inhuman screams. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Ye Haochuan gently covered his forehead, feeling both amused and helpless.

Everything about Niu Kui was fine, except that his mind was a bit rigid.

Not all cries for help are genuine...

"Don’t come over, don’t come over..." A man’s desperate wail pulled Ye Haochuan out of this awkwardness.

He then realized he couldn’t stay here. If he didn’t go over to stop Niu Kui, a big trouble might arise.

With this thought, Ye Haochuan didn’t dare hesitate and rushed over.

Once he parted the thicket, Ye Haochuan was stunned by the scene before him.

Niu Kui was holding a skinny man overhead, poised to throw him down.

On the other side, a naked woman looked at the scene in horror, even forgetting to cover the important parts of her body.

This woman couldn’t exactly be called beautiful. If Long Keyue’s beauty was a ten, she was at most a three. Her skin was rather fair, not very tall, and there was a lot of extra flesh around her waist. Only her chest was somewhat impressive, which was slightly noteworthy.

Such a woman, though completely naked, did not arouse Ye Haochuan’s interest in the slightest.

"Brother, it was this brazen woman who seduced me. I didn’t mean to mess around with her, spare me~" The man was already scared out of his wits, pleading desperately.

"You beast, bullying women in broad daylight, and you dare to argue! I’ll kill you!" Niu Kui roared, exerting his strength to throw the skinny man down.

"Stop!" Ye Haochuan hurriedly stopped him.

Hearing Ye Haochuan’s voice, Niu Kui finally halted his actions.

Niu Kui was somewhat puzzled and asked, "This beast is worse than an animal, he deserves death, Brother Ye, why won’t you let me kill him?"

Ye Haochuan chuckled bitterly and said, "How do you know that this woman is being forced?"

"She’s been begging for mercy constantly, how could it be voluntary?" Niu Kui didn’t understand.

"This... how should I explain it to you?" Ye Haochuan indeed found it hard to explain, and eventually, he turned the question to the woman, asking, "Tell us, was it voluntary?"

The woman then came to her senses and nodded slightly. However, her gaze had already fixed firmly on Niu Kui.

Niu Kui was even more puzzled, his thick brows furrowed into the shape of the character for river.

Ye Haochuan quickly pulled down his hand, letting him put the skinny man back on the ground.

The skinny man, already trembling with fear, couldn’t stand steadily and collapsed onto the ground.

From the man’s earlier explanation, Ye Haochuan had already deduced that these two were here for a tryst.

Ye Haochuan originally thought they came here to indulge in some wilderness excitement. Unexpectedly, he had inadvertently stumbled upon an adulterous affair.

Although Ye Haochuan disapproved of such behavior, he didn’t know the two nor the man being cuckolded, so he didn’t feel he had the right to interfere in their affairs.

Most importantly, Ye Haochuan had long noticed that the man’s vital part had shrunk rapidly due to Niu Kui’s fright at a critical moment, leaving him with a hidden ailment. It seemed he could no longer engage in such furtive activities in the future, which was probably his comeuppance.

"Let’s go!" Ye Haochuan chuckled again and walked away with Niu Kui.

Just then, the dazed woman suddenly shouted, "Don’t go, brother!"

"Brother?" Ye Haochuan looked back, a little puzzled.

Seeing that her gaze was still locked on Niu Kui, it was obvious that the "brother" was directed at him.

Niu Kui didn’t quite understand and asked, "I’m not your brother, I don’t even know you!"

The woman smiled seductively and swayed her body as she walked over. As she walked, she deliberately straightened her proud chest and softly said, "We didn’t know each other before, but now we do. From now on, you’re my closest brother..."

Niu Kui still didn’t quite get it, but the skinny man was a bit annoyed and said, "You wanton hussy, any man will do, why don’t you just go drop dead?"

The woman gave a coquettish hum and said, "Stop pretending you didn’t enjoy it. I was the village belle, and if it weren’t for your big asset, would I have let you get away with so much?"

As she said this, she turned to Niu Kui and said charmingly, "Now that my dear brother is here, just look at his stature, obviously much more impressive than yours. Why would I stick with you when I have a better option?"

"You..." The skinny man was furious, snorting, "You crazy woman, you’re not afraid you’ll burst?"

"This prime field of mine, no bull can destroy it! Get lost quickly, don’t spoil my good time!" The woman said impatiently.

Well, who would have thought that Niu Kui’s reckless intervention would land him an unexpected piece of fortune.

Ye Haochuan laughed to himself.
