Chapter 168 Ah Xiang



Chapter 168 Ah Xiang

Yang Xueli leaned slowly against Cheng Feng's strong arm.

With Cheng Feng's words, Yang Xueli no longer cared about anything else.

What she loved was Cheng Feng as a person, as long as he was still the Cheng Feng who had gone through life and death with her in the ancient kingdom of Jingjue.

Nothing else mattered to Yang Xueli.

Like Cheng Feng and his two companions, Hu Bayi and his group also rested for four hours.

After everyone woke up, they sat in the tent and ate some dried meat for breakfast.

"Old Cheng, what should we do about this girl?"

Hu Bayi looked at the girl lying to the side with some difficulty and asked her.

"If she's still not awake before we leave, we'll leave the tent for her and see if we can give her a ride when we get back."

Cheng Feng glanced at the girl and said in a low voice.

At this moment, the girl, who seemed to be in a deep sleep, gently twitched her eyelids.

"Could I... have some water?"

The girl's weak voice attracted everyone's attention.

Hu Bayi and the others shook their heads and smiled wryly. How could her naive methods fool these seasoned veterans?

It was obvious that the girl had been pretending to be asleep and eavesdropping on their conversation.

Cheng Feng clearly saw through the girl's intentions, which is why he said he wanted to keep her here.

Yang Xueli, holding a cup of hot water, got up and went to the girl.

"Let me help you up."

As she spoke, Yang Xueli helped the girl up with one hand.

She held onto the blanket with one hand; she had noticed her clothes were missing when she woke up earlier.

"Thank you sister!"

The girl thanked her softly, and then, with Yang Xueli's help, sipped some hot water.

After drinking the entire cup of hot water, the girl thanked him again.

Only then did Yang Xueli ask:

"Little girl, what's your name, and why are you here?"

The girl lowered her head and responded timidly:

"I... my name is Ah Xiang, I came here with my godfather and the others!"

Yang Xueli turned to look at everyone, and seeing that no one seemed inclined to speak, she had no choice but to continue:

"Ah Xiang, don't be afraid. We're not bad people. Can you tell me why your godfather brought you here?"

Ah Xiang was silent for a while, then slowly raised her head to look at Cheng Feng.

“I’ve seen that older brother. He injured my godfather and Pete at the hotel.”

Wang Pangzi and Hu Bayi immediately understood upon hearing this.

So this little girl is that bastard Lei Xianming's daughter.

"It seems that this Boss Lei is a man of character, bringing his family along to such a dangerous place!"

Hu Bayi, holding a water glass in his hand, chuckled and said.

At this moment, Cheng Feng got up and walked towards A Xiang. As Cheng Feng approached, she shrank back in fear.

As they approached, Cheng Feng squatted down beside Yang Xueli, then raised his right hand and pinched Ah Xiang's chin.

They forced her to raise her head, revealing her eyes that had been hidden beneath her bangs.

"These eyes are interesting. It's really rare to see yin-yang eyes that have been cultivated later in life."

After observing Ah Xiang's eyes for a while, Cheng Feng let go of her hand.

"Old Cheng, are you saying this girl's eyes are also somewhat unusual?"

Yang Xueli, who was standing next to her, was a little puzzled. She had also seen the girl's eyes, but she hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Cheng Feng nodded, clapped his hands, stood up, and said:

"This girl's eyes were cultivated according to the method of reincarnation of the Demon Mother of the Demon Kingdom."

She must be a descendant of the Demon Kingdom.

Upon hearing Cheng Feng's words, Ah Xiang's expression instantly turned ugly.

The others were also extremely surprised.

"Old Cheng, could you explain in more detail? I didn't quite understand!"

Only the fat man, looking bewildered, asked the question.

Cheng Feng looked at Ah Xiang and said, "Little sister, why don't you explain this to this chubby brother?"

Ah Xiang is a very smart and ambitious person. She knows that Cheng Feng has seen through her.

So he simply told them what he knew.

Just as Cheng Feng said, Ah Xiang's mother was actually a descendant of the Demon Kingdom.

Their family has inherited several pages of scriptures made of gold.

It describes a method for giving people special eyes.

Ah Xiang unfortunately became her parents' experiment.

When she was born, the couple placed her in complete darkness.

To give eyes that have never seen any living beings since birth.

Ah Xiang persevered in this environment for a full ten years.

After completing the ritual, Ah Xiang indeed gained special eyes.

After she became old enough to understand, her parents explained to her the purpose of doing so.

That is to bring the Boundless Demon Eyes back to the world, and restore the grandeur of the Demon Kingdom era.

To become the overlord of a region.

Unfortunately, they both passed away in an accident not long afterward.

Later, Ah Xiang was adopted by Lei Xianming, and because of her special eyes, she helped Lei Xianming avoid many dangers.

Therefore, Lei Xianming highly valued her, and it could be said that he took her with him wherever he went.

After learning about Lei Xianming's business, Ah Xiang used some underhanded means to hand over the scroll containing the Gulag Silver Eye to Lei Xianming.

In the end, Lei Xianming went bankrupt, so he had no choice but to place his hopes on the Gulag Silver Eye in his possession.

That's why Lei Xianming brought his whole family to Kunlun Mountain.

Later, I went to the snow mountain with my godfather and the others.

But suddenly a strong wind blew up, and I was swept away and fell into an ice crevasse, where I lost consciousness.

I woke up to hear you talking...

Ah Xiang stopped talking at this point, and her expression seemed much calmer than before.

Only occasionally, when she glanced at Cheng Feng, a hint of fear would flash across her face.

"Wow, you really can't underestimate young girls these days!"

This meticulous thinking and precise planning are beyond my comprehension!

Hu Bayi was truly shocked by Ah Xiang; he had every reason to suspect...

Lei Xianming's bankruptcy is probably inextricably linked to Ah Xiang.

"Old Cheng, look how scary you are. You just casually said one sentence and the girl told you everything."

Although Ah Xiang shocked Fatty, he thought Cheng Feng was truly amazing.

It actually managed to subdue this gloomy young girl.

"Take a look, Fatty. Little Ah Xiang is a smart one."

Having insulted the fat man, Cheng Feng didn't give him a chance to refute, and turned to say:

"Shirley, get this girl something to eat later, we should continue on our way!"

Yang Xueli nodded in agreement, then brewed some tsampa with hot water and handed it to A Xiang.

After eating some food, Ah Xiang needed to get dressed, and everyone left the tent together.

Cheng Feng, Hu Bayi, and Fatty, three chain smokers, got together to puff away on their cigarettes.

"Now that the curse is lifted, what are your plans?"

Cheng Feng exhaled a puff of smoke and asked the two men.

"Fatty and I are planning to go into the antique business. With Big Gold Tooth helping us out, we should be able to make some money."

Hu Bayi initially got involved in tomb raiding out of necessity.

So I plan to retire from this life after this trip to the Demon Kingdom.

"That's perfect! I'm also in the antique business, so we might have a chance to collaborate!"

Cheng Feng then mentioned that he had opened two shops in Golmud.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were very excited after hearing this. With Cheng Feng, a big customer, as their partner, they wouldn't have to worry about the supply of goods in the future.

Cheng Feng also needed them as a bridgehead for the Unloading Ridge forces to infiltrate the capital.

So the two sides hit it off immediately and quickly reached a verbal agreement.
