Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 20 - 19

Compared to Tao Qian, Hu Qiaoling was even more pitiable, her eyes possessed a penetrating power that seemed to reach into Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart.

Zhang Xiaoshan felt a strong impulse to help Hu Qiaoling.

He could sense that she was a kind and simple girl.

A place like White Dragon Village was definitely not the right destination for Hu Qiaoling.

"Let me take you out of White Dragon Village," he said.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Hu Qiaoling and spoke.

"Ah?"

Hu Qiaoling hadn’t expected Zhang Xiaoshan to agree so readily and was somewhat shocked.

"Why, why?" she asked.

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled faintly.

"Didn’t you just say so yourself? I am a good person, so I can’t let down your expectations of me. Besides, since you’ve given your chastity to me, that makes you my woman. I definitely can’t just watch you being bullied by others and do nothing!"

Tears instantly welled up in Hu Qiaoling’s eyes.

A light suddenly pierced the dark world, giving the desperate a glimpse of hope for survival.

"But, but won’t this cause you trouble? I know the rules of White Dragon Village are very strict. What will you do if they find out you helped me escape?"

Hu Qiaoling ended up worrying about Zhang Xiaoshan instead, which further solidified his decision to help her leave.

"You don’t need to worry about that. Since I dare to take you out, I will definitely make sure the villagers won’t find out. But this matter can’t be rushed; you need to give me some time."

Hu Qiaoling nodded obediently.

"As long as you can help me leave, I can wait as long as it takes. I miss my mother, I want to go home."

"But, but I really can’t stand Li Erniu anymore, what if I just hide in these mountains?"

"No."

Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head and said.

"There are many venomous snakes in these mountains, and at night, large wild animals come out to hunt. Even I wouldn’t dare to stay here for long; whether you could survive till tomorrow would be a concern."

"Here’s what we’ll do."

"My name is Zhang Xiaoshan, and I am the village doctor. Tomorrow, find an excuse to come to my health clinic. I have a way to deal with Li Erniu and ensure he can’t bully you anymore."

"I knew you were different from the others in the village. You really have a way then, tomorrow I’ll pretend to have a stomach ache and find you."

The two made a promise.

"Then let me take you down the mountain."

The two walked out from the back of the mountain to the mountain pass.

From here, the high terrain offered a view over the entire White Dragon Village.

"Going back like this, won’t Li Erniu ask you questions? What will you tell him?" Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Hu Qiaoling’s disheveled appearance and was a bit worried.

"Hehe."

Hu Qiaoling said.

"Don’t worry, today Li Erniu went out to play cards, his mom went to her parent’s house, and his dad is working in the fields. He probably won’t come back until evening. I sneaked out; they won’t find out."

"Then that’s good, go back and remember to come to the health clinic tomorrow!"

"Okay."

Hu Qiaoling took a few steps, then suddenly turned around and walked back toward Zhang Xiaoshan.

"What happened?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was a bit puzzled.

But Hu Qiaoling hugged Zhang Xiaoshan’s neck and kissed him.

"So direct?" Zhang Xiaoshan was a bit surprised and taken aback.

However, Hu Qiaoling’s expression was very serious. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Zhang Xiaoshan, you’re a good person. I don’t regret what happened today."

Having said that, Hu Qiaoling ran off like a startled deer, her anxiety apparent.

"This silly woman, she really is naive," Zhang Xiaoshan said as he watched Hu Qiaoling’s retreating figure, smiling knowingly.

After delaying for two hours, the sun had already begun to set. Zhang Xiaoshan dared not waste any more time and re-entered the rear mountain, heading deeper in.

Surprisingly to Zhang Xiaoshan, he found his steps had lightened considerably, and with every move, he felt a faint current of air supporting him inside his body.

"The energy inside has filled up so much, a single Hu Qiaoling seems to match up to the sum of Luo Meili and Tao Qian combined. Maybe because Hu Qiaoling is a virgin, her Qi has never leaked out?"

"Since I’ve received this silly girl’s Chastity Essence, I must find a way to get her out."

About forty-five minutes later, Zhang Xiaoshan had already ventured more than ten kilometers into the mountains.

He had reached the outer limits of the rear mountain, about to enter its central area.

The deeper he went into the mountains, the more evident the humidity became, casting an increasingly eerie feeling.

The snakes’ bodies had grown from the thickness of a finger to that of an arm; Zhang Xiaoshan even saw a blue-green giant snake as thick as a woman’s leg coiled around a large tree napping...

"Could the village legends be true, that deep in the mountains of Ten Thousand Snake Valley, there really are bucket-thick, dozens of meters long giant python snake kings?"

"Never mind that, finding valuable old medicine is more important."

Along the way, Zhang Xiaoshan had collected some medicinal herbs, but none were very precious, barely selling for a few thousand, up to ten thousand at most. Collecting thirty thousand was still challenging.

He must find some aged medicine.

"Ah, what is that?"

Suddenly, next to a stream and on a rocky wall, a bright red form caught Zhang Xiaoshan’s eye, and he hurriedly went over.
