Chapter Thirteen: Meng Yao Encounters Danger

  That lecher was startled, he didn't think that the other party could see through his hiding place. Originally, he just thought that Guo Ming was a physically strong person, now it seems that he had misjudged him.

  "Fine, you're really something, Guo Ming! Now you're even using some kind of supernatural nonsense to scare me? You're quite capable, aren't you?"

  Guo Ming bitterly smiled and said: "Big sister, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

  "It's not like that." Guo Ming's face relaxed, "Because you were originally," Shui Meng Yao said angrily. She was a classical woman, she wanted to give everything to her first man. Her holy land was inexplicably touched by Guo Ming today, and the anger in her heart can be imagined.

  Anger got the better of Shuǐ Mèng Yáo, and she punched Guō Míng's nose. Guō Míng was still reeling from Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's provocation, and by the time he reacted, his forehead was throbbing, and the sky suddenly darkened. Guō Míng gingerly touched his sore nose, feeling two streams of hot liquid flowing down. When he touched it with his hand, Guō Míng became enraged - bright red, pure, without a hint of impurity. Just thinking about this made Guō Míng feel extremely stifled; if he had done something to deserve the punch, that would be one thing, but he hadn't done anything! He was just an innocent bystander who suffered this sudden calamity. Guō Míng had not planned on coming in the first place, and now, looking at Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's eyes, which seemed to be about to spew fire.

  Shui Mengyao regretted it after hitting him, and was about to apologize, but when she saw Guo Ming's gaze, the anger in her heart surged again. "You rascal, how dare you take advantage of me and not even admit it? How can you still try to take advantage of me? Come on! Shui Mengyao shouted loudly, no wonder Grandpa Zhang said you're a scoundrel.

  Kuo Ming's heart was suddenly filled with intense sorrow, looking at Shui Mengyao's eyes full of boundless disappointment. Kuo Ming suddenly felt that everything had no meaning, what love, what beauty, could not withstand the cold gaze of others. Ah, he was a rogue, was it said that he would be a rogue for his whole life? As the ancient saying goes, "A thousand people pointing, dying without illness." The ancients were indeed not deceiving me!

  The divine light in Guo Ming's eyes gradually faded, and he said hoarsely: "Maybe you're right, I'm just a little rascal. Now the little rascal is tired and wants to go home. If you want to keep looking, I won't accompany you."

  Shui Mengyao was completely unaware that her one sentence had thoroughly and infinitely widened the distance between the two of them. Watching Guo Ming walk away without looking back, Shui Mengyao stomped her feet and turned to head up the mountain, she was throwing a tantrum, she didn't believe Guo Ming would really abandon her, but this time she was really wrong, so wrong that it almost cost her her life.

  Guo Ming returned home in a daze, locked the door as soon as he got home, and sat down. Today, Shui Meng Yao's words had hurt him deeply, making his heart feel very disturbed. The first chapter of "The Water Way" says: "Water is soft and gentle, water benefits all things without contending, it stays in places that people dislike, therefore it is close to the Tao..."

  Is it that water is not understood by the world, silently dedicating itself to humanity, or is it that water is lonely and desolate, its merits unknown to anyone. Guo Ming looked at this ancient text, quietly pondering it. After careful consideration, Guo Ming got up and flipped through some ancient books, only beginning his own cultivation after understanding had seeped in.

  Shui Meng Yao tread on the lush green grass, carefully searching for medicinal herbs on the ground. However, after walking for a long time, she didn't make any discoveries. She faintly felt that someone was following her from behind, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. You're still worried about me, huh? Alright, I'll forgive you this time.

  After searching for a few more hours, the sky had already darkened and the surrounding forest had become somewhat eerie. There were also some unknown cries that made Shui Mengyao feel inexplicably frightened. She couldn't care about being reserved anymore, turned around to look, where was Guo Ming's figure? A bad premonition flashed through her mind in an instant. Shui Mengyao shouted loudly: "Guo Ming, come out for me!"

  A minute later, no one responded. Shui Mengyao's face changed, she looked into the distance and said urgently: "Guo Ming, come out quickly, I forgive you."

  "Come out! Don't scare me!"

  "Guo Ming, Guo Ming."

  "If you don't come out now, forget about me ever listening to you again."

  Five minutes later, Shui Mengyao felt a chill all over her body. It turned out that Guo Ming hadn't followed her after all, so whose presence was she feeling? Cold sweat dripped down from Shui Mengyao's pale face. Just then, the forest suddenly echoed with several mournful cries, which seemed to be the desperate wails of someone on the verge of death, mixed with the sound of a child crying. At this point, Shui Mengyao believed everything. How could such an abnormal sound occur in a primitive forest under normal circumstances? A sense of despair enveloped her entire body, and she didn't dare to run wildly anymore. It was only then that she realized she had lost her way. In the primeval forest, without any special landmarks or strong sense of direction, it was impossible to find your way out.

  Now Shui Mengyao is extremely regretful and fearful, if it weren't for her own slap, how would Guo Ming have left on his own? Moreover, the driver uncle had repeatedly advised them not to go, but it was her own words that led to Guo Ming's life or death, now she's alone in this vast primitive forest.

  Shui Mengyao felt suffocated, as if the countless dark spirits around her were trying to take her fragile life. The breath in the forest was almost choking her, and at the same time, she saw a scene that was hard to imagine in her lifetime. A ripple occurred in space, and a man with a body emitting a suffocating death aura walked out of it. His body was an eerie blue color, and his eyes were flashing with an otherworldly red light, suspended in mid-air, letting out a hoarse laugh.

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's mental defenses were completely destroyed, and she let out a loud cry before fainting.

  That lecherous demon burst out laughing, it had been a long time since he had savored such a beautiful woman. He slowly approached Shui Mengyao, crouched down, and his trembling fingers reached out towards her. Suddenly, time froze at this moment, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

  Guo Ming didn't even go to school to check his own grades. Nowadays he's almost a total otaku, spending all day indoors, either studying or practicing (martial arts).

  Mr. Li, the teacher in charge of Guo Ming's class, looked at the test scores in his hand and checked a certain name again, finally confirming that he was not dreaming. The former troublemaker had now suddenly jumped to the top 15, which made him feel amazed. He didn't believe it at first, so he asked Wang, the teacher who supervised the exam, but Wang guaranteed that Guo Ming absolutely did not cheat. So there could only be one explanation - he really improved, and all of a sudden from 50th in class to 15th. If this had happened at the beginning of junior high school, it might have been possible, but now it was almost graduation time, and he still made such great progress, which was worth thinking about.

  Teacher Li thought carefully about this mischievous student and finally determined that he had made progress in more than 20 days of returning home. Could it be that he has a special learning method? Thinking of this, Teacher Li's eyes lit up, if Guo Ming can promote this kind of statement in the class, then his year-end bonus will definitely reach a new level, and even he himself may have the possibility to compete for the head of the grade.

  Today is the day when the teacher announces the results, all students in the class have arrived except for Guo Ming.

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's spirit seemed to be not quite right, her thoughts were still a bit confused. As soon as she thought of the events of the past two days, she was frightened and her whole body trembled. It seemed like it would be a lifelong nightmare for her, impossible to forget.
