Among the five paranoid male protagonists, who do you want me to choose?

Finally, they found a river, the end of which was in the direction of Dragon King Valley. Night fell quietly, and some spirit beasts liked to show up at night, so they decided to wait for dawn on the spot.

The monks who gathered around the fire couldn't help but rub their hands and sigh.

"The cold air from this river is so cold it's freezing. It's so intense."

"Then we can follow the river and should be able to reach Dragon King Valley."

While listening to their words, Yu Zhao gnawed on the barbecued spirit beast meat and sprinkled it with spices he had just picked on the road. The aroma was so fragrant that it made people drool.

Shen Yuxiu approached her calmly, signaling her to follow him with his eyes, and the two finally met in a corner.

Yu Zhao approached with a smile, slowly flexing his knuckles, not even wanting to say a word of courtesy, and raised his hand to slap him hard.

With a "pop", the crisp sound is particularly eye-catching in the night.

The pain on his face made Shen Yuxiu stunned for a moment. His face was slapped to the side. He propped up his cheek and slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, as if he was not the one who was hit.

Then he put on the hypocritical mask again and smiled indifferently.

"I really can't do anything about you. You hit me as soon as we meet. Girls shouldn't be so uneducated."

Yu Zhao felt a little regretful. He didn't slap her hard enough, and her mouth was still so chattering.

"I haven't seen you for so long, and you're still so annoying. If you don't say a few words, I can make your death quick. Tell me, how do you want to die?" She went straight to the point.

Isn't calling her out just asking for a fight?

"Can't you just sit down and talk calmly?" Shen Yuxiu frowned, looking a little sad, with a strange light in his eyes.

Yu Zhao glanced at him coldly, "What do you think?"

Some things are non-negotiable.

Under the moonlight, the young man was wearing a conical hat, with a slender figure and a white veil dancing in the wind. His exposed face was gentle and harmless, with a faint smile always hanging on the corner of his mouth. Anyone who saw him would think that he was a good-tempered and elegant young man from a noble family.

He extended his slender finger, pointing to where the group was resting. "Your friend is still in the hands of my companions. If I hadn't gone back, Miss Shen would have been in trouble."

"Oh." Yu Zhao didn't care, his arms folded across his chest, his emotions unchanged. "Whatever you want."

He was doomed to die because of bad luck.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are so cold-blooded that you don't even care about your friends." Shen Yuxiu looked at the girl opposite him with deep eyes.

Yu Zhao felt nauseous when she saw this. She turned around and looked around. It was a perfect place to kill people and bury the bodies. Even if he screamed loudly, no one would come to save him.

A blood-red long knife suddenly appeared in her hand, and the black robe around the girl rolled up in an arc. In the blink of an eye, she attacked the boy's face, and the black shadow was like a ghost in the dark night.

Shen Yuxiu turned his wrist, and a top-grade spiritual sword appeared in his hand. The sword light was sharp and the momentum was like a rainbow.

A cold light flashed, and the emerald green spiritual grass was cut in half. Before it could fall, it was crushed to pieces by a spiritual light. The swords collided, and sparks flew everywhere.

Every move is deadly and shows no mercy.

Shen Yuzhuo, who was staying where he was, couldn't help but follow quietly. He huddled in the haystack, staring blankly at the fight not far away.

He still wanted Yu Zhao to win, even though it was a bit difficult.

The two men were covered in blood during the fierce battle. The gap in strength between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Golden Core Realm was quite large. Yu Zhao did not intend to delay for too long.

What's more, those people are in cahoots with him. If a fight really breaks out, no one will help her and she will have to bring a burden with her.

Sensing some subtle movements, Yu Zhao's eyes showed an imperceptible smile, and the night spirit beasts were attracted by the blood.

With a knife, he cut off a piece of his sleeve. Yu Zhao took a half step back to distance himself from him. Looking at the sleeve that fell to the ground, Shen Yuxiu's coldness instantly turned into a sharp gaze. "Yu Zhao, you are really looking for death."

"Are you talking about yourself?" Yu Zhao met his eyes filled with anger calmly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he quickly threw something out of his storage bag.

Shen Yuxiu's eyelids twitched, and without the slightest hesitation he slashed with his sword. The bright red blood of the spirit beast fell in an instant, and with a bang, his entire body was drenched in the smelly blood.

His face turned pale, his brows furrowed enough to pinch a fly to death, and he covered his face with his hands and performed several cleaning techniques.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Roars pierced the sky, and countless pairs of sinister beast eyes lit up. The silent night seemed to be ignited in an instant.

Yu Zhao smiled cheerfully, dodged behind Shen Yuzhuo who was hiding in the corner, grabbed his sleeve and ran to another place.

"Run, why are you standing there like an idiot?"

The Jindan-stage ghost-horned bull they killed today was a social spirit beast. It would go crazy if it encountered the blood of its own kind.

Until a large number of sharp horns attacked Shen Yuxiu, he clenched his fists, and the sharp fingertips scratched his skin, and he finally realized that she didn't really want to fight him, but had a backup plan.

"Yu Zhao, you and I cannot coexist!"

The sound of gnashing teeth rang out among the herd of ghost-horned cattle. Yu Zhao, who had escaped, could only hear the sharp and furious sounds in the distance, comparable to the crowing of a rooster in the early morning.

Those cattle were enough to keep him busy.

Looking at the direction they were running in, Shen Yuzhuo couldn't help but shiver, and the smile on his lips disappeared. Sure enough, Yu Zhao pulled him into the icy river.

As soon as he entered the water, the boy sank down.

Yu Zhao looked at the rippling water surface and saw a bunch of bubbles appearing. Only then did he realize that Shen Yuzhuo was still a landlubber. He used a little force to pull him out of the water.

Shen Yuzhuo took a deep breath and coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs. Yu Zhao pulled him to swim to the other side of the river. His wet black hair was dripping with cold water, and the river water dripped down the waterline of his mask.

It took a long time to swim to get ashore.

Yu Zhao, who was soaked all over, used her spiritual power to dry the water off her body. Feeling a gaze, she slowly turned her head to look at him. A small puddle of water had gathered under Shen Yuzhuo, and there was a small red mole on her delicate collarbone.

He pursed his lips and said nothing, his thick eyelashes casting a small shadow.

He seriously suspected that Yu Zhao wanted to drown him directly.

Yu Zhao didn't want to pay any attention to him. He slowly spread out his palm and stretched out his slender index finger to poke the inky little fish in his palm. The little fish's tail twitched and it spat out a big mouthful of river water, looking sleepy.

"Can fish drown?" She suddenly felt strange. It was the first time she saw a fish that couldn't swim. It was strange.

The little black fish curled up into a ball and spit out two mouthfuls of river water. "Zhao Zhao, I'm just temporarily transformed into a fish. I'm not a real fish."

Yu Zhao: “…”

Okay, I'll put you in my pocket next time.

Just as Shen Yuzhuo was shivering all over and trying to roll up his sleeves to dry the river water on his clothes, he caught a glimpse of Yu Zhao taking out the small notebook for accounting again.

Save a life and you will get an extra 100,000 spirit stones.

Almost drowned, and still had to pay 100,000. Shen Yuzhuo's hands froze for a moment, and his eyes widened a little. "No, it was you who dragged me into the water, didn't you? Why do you want me to pay in the end?"

Yu Zhao raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkling under the moonlight, and patted his shoulder with great sorrow.

"I've already torn my face with Shen Yuxiu. If you stay, it's like putting you in a wolf's den. It's definitely not safe. I'm only considering your safety."

She spoke of deep affection and loyalty, and it was obvious that she put people first. Shen Yuzhuo's mouth twitched. If he hadn't heard the conversation between her and Shen Yuxiu, he would have almost believed it.

Hypocritical and prone to pretentiousness.
