Illicit Relationship

Xiao Tian smiled happily as he carried Crystal to the gooseberry and blackberry trees.

Sure, they were in the forest, and there was a high possibility that wild beasts could attack them, but their hearts were filled with happiness.

Crystal, who saw Xiao Tian's expression, inquired, "Why are you smiling like that?"

"Crystal, don't you think we are at our home now?" Xiao Tian responded, "The cave is our house and the forest is our backyard and front yard. We even have gooseberry and blackberry trees in our backyard."

"Hehe." Crystal giggled. "You are really a weird young man. Sometimes, I don't get your train of thought."

Usually, everyone would be scared when they were in the forest. First, many wild beasts could appear and attack them whenever and wherever they were.

Second, there was no electricity in the forest, so it was dark when it was nighttime. And last, they could not sleep in a soft bed.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable and want to get out of the forest immediately, especially rich people or young masters.

However, Xiao Tian was different. Sure, it was not the first time they lived in the forest, but Xiao Tian always behaved as if they were at their house.

Yes, he did not feel scared, as if the forest was his backyard and front yard.

"Hey, I'm not a weird person. I'm a kind, clever and handsome young man." Xiao Tian did not forget to praise himself like usual.

"Hehe." Crystal giggled again.

She was not surprised when Xiao Tian praised himself because she already knew his personality.

"We have arrived!" Xiao Tian immediately put Crystal on the ground. "Wait here. I will pick up the fruit now."

As Xiao Tian was picking up the fruit, Crystal looked at the forest and sky.

'This forest is not a bad place.'

The scenery was breathtaking, and the air was fresh, so Crystal thought it was not a bad place.

Xiao Tian suddenly walked toward Crystal with fruit in his right hand. "Here. Eat it first."

Crystal immediately consumed the fruit without thinking twice. She even did not use her hands and took the fruit using her mouth directly.

Xiao Tian picked up the fruit again. "Maybe I should plant gooseberry and blackberry trees around my house later."

"Just do that." Crystal replied, "You are rich now, so I'm sure it will be easy for you to buy gooseberry and blackberry trees."

"Why did you say something like that? I'm sure anyone can plant gooseberry and blackberry trees in this world." Xiao Tian was sure anyone could plant gooseberry and blackberry trees in China.

He talked to Crystal as he picked up the fruit. Without realizing it, he had picked up a lot of fruit.

"I think this is enough." Xiao Tian said after he saw the fruit in the banana leaf. "Let's go to the waterfall now."

"Un." Crystal immediately grabbed the banana leaf that was filled with fruit because Xiao Tian would carry her later.

When Xiao Tian was carrying her to the waterfall, Crystal ate the fruit again. Xiao Tian only smiled when he knew about it.

He immediately put her down after they were at the waterfall. "Wait here. I will catch some fish now."

"Just catch two fish because we have fruit now." Crystal did not want Xiao Tian to catch many fish like yesterday because they had fruit now.

Sure, they did not use money to get fruit and fish, but wasting food was not a good idea.

"Alright." Xiao Tian nodded his head.

After catching two fish, Xiao Tian began to grill it.

"You are an expert at making a bonfire now." Crystal suddenly remembered the time when Xiao Tian could not make a bonfire without a lighter.

"Because I often did it." Xiao Tian responded as he grilled the fish.

They immediately ate the fish and fruit not long after that.

Somewhere in the forest.

Fu Rou and the Dragon gang members were currently looking for Xiao Tian and Crystal.

Yes, they did not give up and kept looking for them!

It was a good chance to kill them, so she did not want to let the opportunity slip away.

"Just where are they?" Fu Rou was annoyed because they still could not find Xiao Tian and Crystal.

Xiao Tian and Crystal were injured, so she believed they could not run far away.

"Fu Rou, it seems like they went deeper into the forest." One of the Dragon gang members spoke abruptly. "What should we do now?"

"Divide everyone into six groups." Of course, Fu Rou did not give up and still wanted to find Xiao Tian and Crystal.

The Dragon gang members exchanged a glance with each other before finally nodding their heads.

Even though Fu Rou was not their leader, but her position in the gang was high. Not only that, but she was also close to their leader because their leader saw her as his family.

Yes, even though Fu Rou was his maid, but the leader of the Dragon gang saw her as his family!

After dividing everyone them into six groups, they began to look for Xiao Tian and Crystal again.

Each group had five people, and Fu Rou told them to send a signal after finding Xiao Tian and Crystal.

Forest, Waterfall.

Xiao Tian was currently sitting on the flat stone with Crystal. Like before, they were eating fish and fruit.

They enjoyed themselves so much, to the point they forgot that they were in the forest.

"Haha." A peal of happy laughter escaped from their mouths as they talked.

If anyone saw them, they would be surprised because Xiao Tian and Crystal could still feel happy even though they were in the forest.

*Shhhh…Shhh…

The sound of trees swaying in the wind reverberated in the waterfall.

Like before, Xiao Tian and Crystal chatted happily. Their clothes and hair danced as the strong wind blew against their bodies.

As Xiao Tian and Crystal were chatting happily, five people walked towards them.

"Sigh. We have been looking for them for three days now. Why don't we just give up? That Fu Rou!" The red-haired man said in annoyance.

He was furious because Fu Rou forced them to keep looking for Xiao Tian and Crystal. They could not help but do that because Fu Rou was the left hand of their leader.

Their leader even said to follow her words too. With this, everyone knew how important Fu Rou was to their leader.

"Stop complaining and keep leaving marks on the trees so that we don't get lost in the forest later." the blue-haired man replied

"Why are you acting normally? Aren't you angry too?" the red-haired man inquired.

"Well, it can't be helped." The blue-haired man responded, "You know her status in our gang, right?"

"Alright, alright. Let's stop complaining." The green-haired man spoke abruptly.

"That's right." The purple-haired man and the black-haired man said in unison.

At this moment, Crystal and Xiao Tian did not know that five of their enemies were heading toward them.

*Silence…

The entire area dropped into a dead silence when Xiao Tian, Crystal, and five of Dragon gang members stood in front of each other.

Xiao Tian and Crystal talked happily earlier, so they let their guard down.

Yes, they did not pay attention to their surroundings!

Like Xiao Tian and Crystal, the Dragon gang members were also startled.

Actually, they only wanted to rest at the waterfall when they saw the waterfall earlier. They did not expect to meet Xiao Tian and Crystal at the waterfall.

"Attack them!" the red-haired man shouted loudly.

Xiao Tian rushed towards them as he extended his special sword. Crystal's legs still had not fully recovered, so she could not fight normally.

It would be dangerous for her to fight in that state. For this reason, Xiao Tian wanted to fight all of them alone.

His opponents were only five people, so Xiao Tian was sure that he could defeat them later.

He knew that his opponents were only martial artists at the mid-level master stage because he had fought them three days ago.

Of course, the Dragon gang members were not stupid and immediately divided into two groups.

Three of them rushed towards Xiao Tian while the others were running towards Crystal. She was injured, so two people were enough to deal with her.

Crystal instantly took out her daggers. Sure, she could not stand up now, but that did not mean she would not fight back.

*Bang…

Xiao Tian dashed towards Crystal after kicking one of his opponents.

Crystal's legs were injured, so he could not let them attack her. It could be fatal to her, so Xiao Tian had to protect her.

*Bang…Bang…

Xiao Tian kicked them before they could attack Crystal.

'I have to defeat them quickly.'

With that idea in mind, Xiao Tian immediately sliced one of his opponent's neck before finally standing in front of Crystal.

The Dragon gang members were furious when Xiao Tian killed one of them.

"Attack them together!" the red-haired man shouted.

At this moment, one of them sent a smoke signal to the other members. It was like a firework, but it was only smoke.

*Slice…Slice…Slice…

Xiao Tian tried his best to defeat his opponents quickly because they had sent a smoke signal.

'Faster! I have to defeat them faster!'

Even though he was fighting while protecting Crystal, Xiao Tian still managed to defeat all of his opponents because they were only martial artists at the mid-level master stage.

After defeating their opponents, Xiao Tian immediately carried Crystal on his back. "We have to leave this place now."
