Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 143 - Qiu Maode Appears

Chapter 143 -143 Qiu Maode Appears

The two of them walked for who knew how long before Yue Xiaofang realized they had entered a forest.

Because of the winter, the surrounding trees were all bare, looking stark naked.

The ground was covered with a layer of snow that hadn’t melted, and sometimes, stepping on it would crunch dry branches underneath.

There was a snapping sound, startling one unexpectedly.

Yue Xiaofang, holding onto her precious child, walked for a bit and felt that something was not right.

“Xiaoxue, why did we come here?”

Guo Xue acted mysterious, “This is pretty close to your family’s fish pond, going through here, we can just see the ‘Cornucopia’ the villagers talk about.”

But there was clearly an easier way to go to the fish pond, why take this path?

Yue Xiaofang was somewhat puzzled, but trusting Guo Xue, she didn’t voice her questions.

She just thought that maybe they were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t notice taking a wrong turn.

A while later, Guo Xue, with her sharp eyes, saw Qiu Maode sticking his head out from behind a large tree not far away.

“Oh no…”

Hearing her companion’s voice, Yue Xiaofang hurriedly asked, “Xiaoxue, what’s wrong with you?”

“My stomach hurts so much, I must have eaten something bad this morning.”

Guo Xue clutched her stomach, her expression one of extreme pain.

Yue Xiaofang got scared, “I’ll take you to the infirmary right now, just bear with it.”

“There’s no time, I… I need to find a place to ease myself.”

Yue Xiaofang was still puzzled even after Guo Xue ran off in a hurry.

She had a stomachache, so why was she running so fast?

Crack…

The sound of breaking branches made Yue Xiaofang turn around abruptly.

Qiu Maode’s tall figure cast a long shadow on the snowy ground.

In an instant, Yue Xiaofang seemed to understand something but couldn’t bring herself to believe that her good friend would abandon her here.

Qiu Maode stared at Yue Xiaofang, coming closer step by step.

Those bloodshot eyes made Yue Xiaofang retreat continuously.

“What do you want? Don’t… don’t come any closer.”

Qiu Maode’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he gulped several times before speaking.

“Yue Xiaofang, I indeed wanted to marry you smoothly into my family, but you just wouldn’t listen, so I have to use this method.”

Yue Xiaofang, dragging Qingqing along, turned and ran, while Qiu Maode followed behind leisurely.

Like a hunter who enjoys teasing his prey.

“If you come any closer, I’ll scream,” Yue Xiaofang said with a trembling voice, suddenly tripping over a tree root and falling to the ground.

She only had time to let go of Yue Qingqing’s hand before rolling on the ground.

Her scarf lay scattered beside her, and her hair was now disheveled.

Qiu Maode stared at Yue Xiaofang’s neckline, laughing in a somewhat lewd manner.

“Go ahead and scream. If someone comes, I’ll just say you seduced me, and then you’ll have to marry me whether you like it or not,” he said.

Yue Xiaofang bit her lower lip so hard that it almost drew blood.

What Qiu Maode was saying was right.

If someone really did come, they’d likely think she was shameless, that’s just the way the world worked.

Thinking this, a ferocious light flashed in Yue Xiaofang’s eyes, as if she had made some sort of decision.

Qiu Maode was oblivious to her determination; he thought Yue Xiaofang was like meat on his chopping board.

His gaze became more lecherous.

“Don’t think too highly of yourself; in the end, you’re someone who’s been played with. When you think about it, you’re the one who’s getting the better deal,” he said.

“Being away from your mother’s home for so long, don’t you feel lonely? Maybe after a while, you’ll even thank me,” he added.

Yue Xiaofang’s lips quivered, “Qingqing, run.”

She didn’t want Qingqing to witness what was about to happen.

Yue Qingqing sat on the ground, forming a spell with her hands.

Seeing her not moving, Yue Xiaofang’s voice became more and more desperate, “Qingqing, be good! Run! Quick!”

Only when she saw a wisp of black mist gradually take form in the air and coil around Qiu Maode did Yue Qingqing finally let go and truly turned to flee.

Qiu Maode didn’t bother with the child running into the distance; he just kept walking closer to Yue Xiaofang.

Yue Xiaofang, with her hands behind her back, nervously felt around.

She finally gripped a sharp stone buried underneath the snow.

Qiu Maode finally reached her, bending over to look at Yue Xiaofang from a superior position.

“Don’t worry, once you marry into the family, as long as you obediently listen and work hard to earn money, we won’t treat you badly,” he said.

As he spoke, he unbuttoned his collar and leaned in closer.

His thick lips were about to press onto Yue Xiaofang’s cheek.

With resolve flashing in her eyes, Yue Xiaofang raised the stone where Qiu Maode couldn’t see and smashed it down heavily.
