Who was this monk named Wuneng calling?
What action would they take next against the man and woman at Duck Peak?
Wuneng, of course, told no one.
After finishing his call, he raised his binoculars again, using the cover of the trees to gaze towards Duck Peak.
He didn't notice—
That behind him, more than ten meters away, behind a cluster of wild jujube trees, a pair of cold eyes were silently watching him.
A few minutes later.
Once Wuneng had confirmed that the man and woman were still resting in a secluded spot, he left with his sleeves billowing.
The owner of the cold eyes behind the wild jujube bushes was a young girl.
She immediately took out her phone, opened it, and quickly typed a text message.
She worried that there might not be much signal at Duck Peak.
Fortunately.
A few seconds after she successfully sent the message, she received an "ok" emoji on her screen.
After sending the "ok" emoji to Li Chenyang, Li Qianfan looked around and sneered.
As soon as Su Ziyu entered the temple gate of Qingshan Temple, she could sense the sinister gaze of a monk from behind, let alone Li Qianfan?
Su Ziyu could sense it through her sixth sense.
As for Li Qianfan—
If he hadn't noticed the monk's gaze towards his wife, his mother Li Wujiang might have truly gouged out his eyeballs with her own hands!
"The intelligence collected by Empress Lan and the others was indeed correct."
"The locations where the two women went missing are indeed related to the Xiaoqingshan Scenic Area."
"And it's some monks causing trouble."
"While some monks in Qingshan Temple are devout Buddhists, others are professional monks."
"It's likely these nine-to-five professional monks who are causing trouble."
"They are exploiting the inherent advantages of the Xiaoqingshan Scenic Area, which attracts people, and the fact that it's far from the city, with a complex environment that makes searching difficult, to commit their crimes."
"This appears to be an organized group."
"After they succeed, they wouldn't send the people away directly."
"They must be hiding them in some secret cave within Xiaoqingshan."
"This secret cave is likely not far from Duck Peak."
"Otherwise, that monk wouldn't be preparing to act."
"They definitely wouldn't dare to knock me out and steal my wife."
"They will only set a trap."
"What kind of trap could it be?"
"How can I turn their plan to my advantage without startling Ziyu?"
Li Qianfan pondered this, then looked down at Su Ziyu.
Su Ziyu was still sound asleep, her little face peaceful, with a charming blush.
It was hard to connect the sleeping beauty before him with her usual icy demeanor.
Chirp chirp—
Several birds suddenly flew from the west side of Duck Peak.
Li Qianfan's heart immediately stirred: "Is it starting?"
At this moment, the entire Xiaoqingshan Scenic Area was like Su Ziyu, dozing lightly under the bright afternoon sun.
The wind was gentle, the mountains were quiet.
These birds, suddenly flying from the west, could only indicate that someone was approaching from that direction.
Of course, they could be tourists exploring the area.
But Li Qianfan felt that the possibility of them being tourists was lower than the possibility of some monks.
Su Ziyu opened her eyes.
She was startled awake by the hurried chirping of the birds.
"Little husband."
Su Ziyu raised her hand, pinched Li Qianfan's chin, and murmured, "How long have I slept?"
Li Qianfan glanced at his phone and replied accurately, "33 minutes and 25 seconds."
A nap of half an hour was ideal.
Any longer, and one would feel groggy.
Su Ziyu asked again, "Didn't you sleep at all?"
"How dare I?"
Li Qianfan said, "If I fell asleep too, and someone stole my wife, what would I do?"
"Tch."
Su Ziyu pouted, ignoring his nonsense. She lazily sat up but couldn't resist the impulse. She used her fair feet to nudge his leg: "Little husband, isn't making me happy one of your duties?"
Li Qianfan immediately clasped his hands: "This husband is duty-bound. Tell me, how do you want me to make you happy? Shall I sing you 'Yama Di' or perform the 'Wu Yi' dance?"
Su Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then understood.
She simply reached out and pinched his calf.
Li Qianfan grimaced in pain—
Su Ziyu pretended to think seriously: "Let's play the game of 'Zhu Bajie carrying his wife'."
Li Qianfan immediately sneered: "Heh, are you kidding? If it were on flat ground, maybe. But in these mountains, you want me to be your laborer? Isn't that bullying? No way!"
Su Ziyu tilted her head, looking at him quietly: "Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven."
This wife was perfect in every way.
Except for her habit of counting down, which was terrifying.
Before she could say "one," Li Qianfan quickly raised his hand.
"I knew my little husband was the most obedient. Here's a reward for you."
Su Ziyu said softly, then suddenly leaned forward and quickly kissed Li Qianfan on the cheek.
It was like a dragonfly touching the water!
But her heart pounded violently.
She thought to herself, "Heavens, I actually kissed my little husband proactively. Why does this feel so good?"
Li Qianfan was a little stunned.
His cheek's "first kiss" was thus cruelly taken away by Su Ziyu!?
Then he shouted, "You b*stard!"
Su Ziyu's flushed little face immediately turned dark.
Skipping the countdown, she reached out, grabbed Li Qianfan by the back of his neck, and pressed him onto her lap. She then began to pound his back with her left fist, like beating a drum.
Li Qianfan regretted it deeply—
He quickly apologized.
"Your life is spared, but you cannot escape punishment!"
Su Ziyu said sternly, "Unless you agree to one condition. Otherwise, on this day next year, I will come here with my new husband to mourn you."
So ruthless?
Li Qianfan had no choice but to endure his tears and ask what Su Ziyu's condition was.
When Su Ziyu's lips curved into a sinister arc, and she took out women's clothing and even a wig from her backpack, Li Qianfan almost broke down.
Su Heidao not only wanted him to carry her but also to wear women's clothing and carry her!
After all, Su Heidao was a girl who cared about her image.
If other tourists saw her being carried by a man while acting coy, wouldn't she lose face?
But if a "girl" carried her?
When she twisted her ankle while traveling with her girlfriends, and her girlfriends carried her down the mountain, wouldn't that be normal?
Li Qianfan shook his head like a rattle drum.
He would rather die than be a sissy—
Especially when Su Ziyu, even more outrageously, took out a makeup box and wanted to transform him.
Su Ziyu didn't try to persuade him further.
She just looked up at the sky and said softly, "Ten. Nine. Eight."
Li Qianfan got up, wanting to run, but Su Ziyu hooked him with her foot.
With a dull thud.
Li Qianfan "obediently" fell into Su Ziyu's arms.
It didn't hurt at all!
His head bounced slightly.
But he absolutely could not show any enjoyment.
Otherwise, Su Heidao, who wouldn't notice this, might very well murder her husband.
"Four, three, two."
Su Ziyu looked down at her little husband, continuing the countdown with a blank expression.
Li Qianfan quickly raised his hand: "I surrender."
"That's better."
Su Ziyu's expression quickly softened as she opened the makeup box.
Li Qianfan was on the verge of tears—
After a full ten minutes, Su Ziyu put away the lipstick and other items, pointed at the women's clothing.
Li Qianfan sighed heavily.
He could only get up, take the women's clothing, and sheepishly walk into the woods.
"Changing clothes and still trying to hide from me. Hmph. When he comes out, I'll break his legs."
Su Ziyu snorted coldly in her heart.
But when Li Qianfan, in women's clothing, emerged from the woods with a "graceful sway," Su Ziyu was stunned.
Who was this beautiful young woman wearing a baseball cap with her hair down to her shoulders?
Where did her little husband go?
While Su Ziyu was in a daze—
The young woman walked up to her, pinched her fingers like orchid blossoms, and said in a sweet voice, "I have a condition too."
Su Ziyu blinked: "What condition?"
The young woman reached out and lifted her chin.
Before Su Ziyu could raise her hand to open it, the young woman said, "I want to carry a handsome guy, not a beautiful woman."
