Qi Qingyao had been running all around the area for a while when she finally heard a shrill scream coming from the woods, followed by "Ah—help me!"

It was an exceptionally youthful and high voice of a teenager.

Qi Qingyao's ears pricked up like a donkey's when she heard the sound. She pointed to a certain place and hurriedly dragged Jiang Yeqian with her as she ran in that direction.

"Someone's calling for help. C'mon, let's go and check it out."

Jiang Yeqian rarely had such close contact with women. After being pulled along by the arm so brusquely, he frowned very unhappily, but since he was pretending to have lost his memories, he could not give her the cold shoulder. He could only follow her as they quickly rushed over.

After bypassing a bush, they finally saw a young man in a white shirt, stumbling around in the forest and rushing in her direction. A black wild boar followed not far behind him.

At the sight of the wild boar, Qi Qingyao started to salivate. "Meat, meat, it's meat."

"That's a human." Jiang Yeqian stared at the young man firmly.

Qi Qingyao's eyes were still fixated on her target. "I'm talking about the black wild boar following behind him. Do you see it?"

"I see it," Jiang Yeqian said.

Qi Qingyao was still staring at the wild boar as she excitedly said to the young man, "Hey buddy, just hold on. We'll come to your rescue right away."

"He doesn't seem to be a human." Jiang Yeqian's words seemed to be muffled. He could not sense any human aura from the man that a human should have. Could he be some wild mountain spirit or monster?

"You're still saying it's a monster?! Don't tease me." Qi Qingyao patted him on the shoulder. "Hurry up and save him. Even though you've lost your memories, I'm pretty sure you're still better than me."

"..."

This woman was always testing his patience!

Who did she take him for, patting him so casually… Why did it feel like she already considered him her comrade?!

But then again.

Jiang Yeqian did think that he did not look too bad.

In the Capital City, whenever he made an appearance, practically all the wealthy and well-known women would start screaming, and they would pretend to slip and fall, feign dizziness, or pretend to be thirsty as an excuse to get closer to him.

He had seen a lot of those.

He also knew the tricks of women.

Even though she was a "widow"? It did not seem right! However, it was pretty much the same.

This woman had three children, but she only looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. Therefore, she should be at an age where she should be looking for a partner, but she was actually quite good, as she did not see him as a man at all. She had no intention to find a husband and settle down whatsoever, and her mind seemed to be filled with nothing but thoughts about earning a fortune...

It utterly confused Jiang Yeqian.

He could only think to himself, 'It's definitely not because I'm not charming, it's because this woman is too dumb...'

The young man ran straight toward Qi Qingyao and hid behind her, asking for help in a pitiful manner. Qi Qingyao did not pay any heed to the young man. She just stared at the wild boar rushing toward them and asked Jiang Yeqian to quickly kill it.

Jiang Yeqian gave the clamorous woman a sidelong glance, then calmly swung his ax.

The ax spun in his hand twice, then swiftly struck the boar's neck.

Qi Qingyao thought that he was going to fight fiercely, but after the ax swung down, it directly struck the wild boar's neck. The wild boar's head fell off, and its whole body instantly fell on its side.

The wild boar rolled on the ground until it finally hit a tree.

The few sparse leaves still left on the tree fluttered down onto the ground.

After all the leaves fell onto the ground...

Silence befell the world...
