The seconds ticked away.

After about thirty seconds.

A cry of exhilaration sounded in the silent forest.

"Holy sh*t! I managed to kill such a fat wild boar! We can eat meat every day from now on, hahahahahahaha!"

Anyone who heard this mad laughter would be shocked.

Only the laughing person herself remained unbothered and rushed over to the half-dead wild boar excitedly. She first examined the wild boar's condition and determined that it was not completely dead yet. Then, with the machete in her hand, she hacked the boar's neck three times without mercy!

Only when Qi Qingyao made sure that the wild boar had breathed its last did she stop.

Supporting herself on a tree, she stood up.

She then turned to look at Jiang Yeqian.

"Jiang Bai, we've gotten ourselves a great harvest this time!"

Only after speaking did Qi Qingyao notice the boy in the white shirt. He was staring at her with a pair of extraordinarily round eyes as if in a curious daze.

That was not the main point.

Most importantly…

Qi Qingyao realized how beautiful the boy was. He was like a clear, flowing mountain stream; at the same time, like a forest fairy shrouded in a cool mist.

His aura was as chilling as spring water.

Qi Qingyao was stunned for a while.

More surprisingly, he looked too…

It was a unique kind of graceful and delicate boyish beauty.

He looked more like a fish instead of a human…

The boy pressed his small, full lips together and stared straight at her with clear eyes.

The two of them gawked at each other for a moment.

Qi Qingyao could not help stepping forward.

"You…"

"Mm." The boy nodded slightly, gazing at her silently with his lips pursed.

Qi Qingyao stared at him without blinking. "You're as beautiful as a male fairy."

The boy's pupils abruptly shrank for a second and turned golden, then instantly returned to normal.

There was still a gentle smile on his mouth.

Jiang Yeqian, "..."

What kind of woman would compliment others like this? This woman was definitely mad.

Qi Qingyao looked at the boy intently. "What did you eat to become this beautiful?"

Jiang Yeqian's dark eyes locked on her, and he scolded her in a low voice. "What're you doing, harassing the poor boy?"

"I'm just concerned about him because he looks so pitiful. After all, how dreadful it must be to be stuck in the mountains during winter and chased by a wild boar nonetheless. We should show some concern." Qi Qingyao's eyes were still fixed on the little beauty in front of her as she spoke.

Jiang Yeqian said, "He doesn't need your concern."

"I'm his savior; of course, I should be concerned! If he wants to repay my kindness, I can accept his gratitude accordingly. Maybe he'll give me a few hundred taels; then I'll be rich!" Qi Qingyao smiled nonchalantly.

As soon as she uttered these words, the pure, white-shirted boy fell on his knees with a thump, calling out, "My savior!"

"..." Qi Qingyao felt her heart skip a beat from hearing him call her savior so sweetly and wildly.

Damn… What a charming fairy!

The boy raised his head, his eyes as clear as water. "Thank you for saving my life. I'm willing to repay you with my body!"

Qi Qingyao's first reaction was, "So you're not married."

"Mm." The boy nodded.

Jiang Yeqian could not help saying, "Although she's also not married, she already has three children, so don't even think about repaying her with your body."
