Chapter Thirty-two: The Waves Rise Again

  Two people stayed in the cave, and Huo Hai's mental state was not right. Ji Mu didn't worry that staying with Huo Hai would lead to any accidents, perhaps in Ji Mu's heart, he had already regarded Huo Hai as a family member.

  Huo Hai occasionally floated over Ji Mu's body, and heard that it was said to be a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as post-killing syndrome. There were two people here, and Huo Hai couldn't help but start daydreaming.

  However, Hao Hai still overestimated himself, or rather, the ability of two generations of men in this aspect. Perfect environment, and far surpassing the opponent in terms of strength. Even whether Ji Mu would oppose Hao Hai was unclear, but when he wanted to take action, he ultimately didn't have the guts. He himself didn't even know what he was afraid of.

  Perhaps it was the idea brought by the earth, perhaps it was the education received, or perhaps it was the good people of two worlds, anyway, Huo Hai himself did not know. In this entanglement, Huo Hai and Ji Mu lived in such a cave for two days.

  The entrance had been camouflaged by the two of them long ago, and as long as no one examined it carefully, it was impossible to discover. Outside, there were also the star moths left behind by Huo Hai as spies. In the past two days, someone did pass by the surrounding area, but they didn't show any intention of exploring the cave at all.

  With Ji Mu's help in diverting attention, Huo Hai's spirit calmed down quickly. Two days later, Huo Hai circulated the spiritual energy throughout his body, stimulating his blood and qi. His blood and qi surged back to normal: "Ji Mu, I've recovered, let's go out now, it's just right that there's no one outside." Time waits for no man, and Huo Hai didn't want to waste such a good opportunity.

  It was said that this method of stimulating one's own blood and checking whether one would get lost in the killing, was still taught by Ji Mu to himself. Huo Hai had only been awake until now for a short period of time, and there were many common knowledge that he didn't know at all.

  "Alright, let's hurry up and get out of here. Staying in this place for so long is making me feel like I'm going to rot." Ji Mu furrowed his brow as he looked at himself. Due to being stuck with Huo Hai in the same cave all along, Ji Mu hadn't even had a chance to change clothes.

  It's not that I'm worried about Huo Hai peeking at something, but rather I feel embarrassed, extremely embarrassed. Although the separation between men and women in this world hasn't reached the extent of ancient Earth where it was like a tiger or wolf, it still can't be compared to modern society on Earth. Unless it's her own husband, a woman cannot reveal herself in front of other men.

  This time out, be sure to find a good opportunity to wash your whole body and change into some clean clothes.

  Since both of them wanted to go out, they quickly came to an agreement and moved the stone away. After some thought, Huo Hai moved the stone back again. "Such a good place, who knows if it might still be useful, can't let others discover it."

  Huò Hǎi didn't know if this place could be used, so he hid it for now. Jì Mù also didn't pay attention to it, her entire mind was focused on cleaning her own body. As the darling of everyone, not changing clothes for such a long time is unthinkable.

  "Haoke, you must be careful, before breaking through the spiritual blood boundary, never kill too many, especially not a large number at once, or you will still get lost." Ji Mu was somewhat worried and reminded him again. Haoke indicated that he knew, his hands didn't stop moving, and he disguised the cave again so no one could find it.

  "Let's go, by the way, you've been saying that you want to find a place to take a bath, I remember when we came here, there was a small stream on the edge of Nanshan. There are very few people who will pass through there, and no spiritual beasts either, let's go there."

  Ji Mu's face turned red, and he nodded. This guy, he still remembers, Ji Mu acted like a little daughter-in-law, following Huo Hai, walking forward in small steps. Not long after the two left, someone passed by here.

  "Master Wu, look at this mark and this footprint. These should be left by Huo Hai and Ji Mu."

  The group of people who came was a team of more than 50 people, and the emblem on their bodies was also that of the He family. This person known as Fifth Young Master is actually the younger brother of He Yao, the direct heir of the He family, an absolute legitimate child.

  He Lù glanced at the marks on the ground and said disdainfully, "Hmph, they're just two insignificant clowns, no need to pay attention to them. Two people pose no threat to us. Our main task now is to get more cards. Our opponents are those guys from other families, don't get it wrong. These marks, humph, erase them."

  He Lu seems to be completely indifferent to Huo Hai's whereabouts, but in fact, only He Lu knows. He is not ignoring Huo Hai, and Huo Hai even occupies a very large proportion in his heart. This can be known from the previous messages.

  This Huo Hai is absolutely not simple, his cultivation and combat power are extremely terrifying. But no matter how you look at it, Huo Hai is still an outsider, even if he's incredibly powerful, as long as you don't provoke him, he won't come after you.

  At least he thought so, because he had many people under him, and they were all elite members of the family. But this Huo Hai was different from others, he had a grudge against each of his brothers, and now he had also made an enemy of He Yao, which was a good opportunity. After all, He Yao was his second brother, whatever good things the family had, they would first think of the eldest and second brothers.

  Big brother is not the head of the family, don't worry. Worrying now won't do any good, it's different when He Ru presses down. Let He Ru keep pressing down on top, and who knows how many resources that should belong to oneself will be taken away.

  There was also He Wang, who seemed gentle and refined in his daily life, but He Lu knew that this person was absolutely not simple. Even when he entered the mountain forest this time, he knew some of the private soldiers under his command. Later, there were even rumors circulating that let him know that He Wang's ambition was extremely large. The internal power struggle within the He family was very intense and had already begun among their younger generation.

  This capable guy shouldn't be allowed to live. Although he can't be killed yet, it's no problem to find some trouble for him. Let Huo Hai live for a while longer, there's plenty of time to find trouble for He Wei later.

  It's best to let He not even have the chance to enter Huang Cheng Academy this time. This way, He who lost the opportunity to go to the academy will ultimately become a guy with no future, and he will be one step closer to becoming the master of the house.

  After erasing the traces left by Huo Hai, a group of people changed direction and continued to leave. He Lu's approach indeed helped Huo Hai stall for a while, even Ji Mu himself didn't expect it. During the time Ji Mu was taking a bath, he wasn't disturbed at all. When Ji Mu came out, Huo Hai couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment.

  The lotus emerges from the clear water, and its natural beauty is beyond any artificial adornment. Ah, I see. "Cough cough" Huo Hai coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "Uh, Ji Mu, let's go find that card now. Time is running out, we can't waste it."

  He let out a dry laugh, and Huo Hai turned around, not daring to look at Ji Mu's appearance. Ji Mu had just come out of the shower, wearing a tight-fitting dress, which was indeed very tempting. If he continued to look, Huo Hai was afraid he would make a fool of himself. Ji Mu giggled: "Hehe, so you're also afraid sometimes. Alright alright, I won't eat you up, let's go, I won't tease you anymore."

  Chatting and laughing, the two set out on their journey once again. It seemed as if they weren't here to try out at all, but rather to travel. In fact, with so many Star Nails protecting them, Huo Hai's trip here was really no different from a vacation.

  The two of them finally couldn't hide the traces left by their actions. He Lu wanted to make things difficult for He Wang, but he didn't dare go too far either. No matter how much they fought within the family, there had to be a bottom line.

  "Third Master, we've found it. The trail left behind by that kid He Hai." At last, He Fan led the remaining people and after going through a lot of hardships, they finally found He Hai.

  This guy was originally in his own encirclement, and inexplicably left, they were still cautiously approaching. It wasn't until after the encirclement had shrunk that they discovered one of the five teams was missing, and even later they couldn't find them anywhere. Nor did they know what had become of them now, whether or not they had been directly annihilated by Huo Hai, they didn't believe it, nor were they willing to believe it.

  That team's strength is not weak at all. If Hao Hai can destroy them, he won't be able to destroy himself either. It seems that something happened and they left, allowing Hao Hai to escape. What a lucky kid.

  But because it's been too long, the traces left by Huo Hai have already been destroyed by others. So they never found anything, and their efforts were in vain for two days. Until today, Huo Hai finally reappeared.

  "They shouldn't have gone far, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to leave such clear marks." A mercenary said in a low voice, grabbing a handful of dirt. For mercenaries, judging the situation and tracking was their specialty. If two people had really left for too long, the marks wouldn't have been so easy to discover, they might even have been destroyed.

  "Hehe, you little brat, I've finally found you. Don't think you can escape from me this time either. Are you all ready?" Hehe's last sentence was directed at the people beside him.

  An old-looking guy shouted loudly: "Get ready, this time we've spent a lot of points cards to exchange for it. If it doesn't work out, I'll twist off my own head."

  He didn't care about his rough words, he only cared that everything was ready. Last time he wasn't careful, so he let Huo Hai and Ji Mu escape, but this time it won't happen again. "Hmph, Huo Hai, Ji Mu, neither of you will be able to run away, sooner or later you'll fall into my hands, we're after you."

  He led the remaining less-than-thirty-man team down, chasing in the direction that might be Huo Hai.
