Chu Qingzhi’s gaze stopped on Tang Jinghong’s thin lips, and she had the desire to kiss him, so she did it.
She inched closer and placed her lips on his.
Caught off guard, Tang Jinghong opened his eyes and saw Chu Qingzhi’s curved eyes. His heart skipped a beat, but soon, he took the initiative to kiss back. He grabbed Qingzhi by the waist and kissed her gently and tenderly.
There was an acacia tree beside them. The acacia flowers were in full bloom.
Under the morning light, they swayed gently.
A long time later…
Chu Qingzhi leaned on Tang Jinghong’s shoulder and calmed her slightly rapid breathing.
Tang Jinghong hugged Chu Qingzhi gently. His rapidly beating heart only returned to normal after a while. “Qingzhi, should we leave?”
Chu Qingzhi said, “Aren’t we going to look for Zhang Dinghong?”
Tang Jinghong said, “No need. I’ll write a letter back to send a garrison over to take over this place.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Then let’s go.”
The two of them arrived at the mountain the Ge family bought.
Tang Jinghong checked the mountain carefully, but all he could find was a pile of stones. He could not see any traces of iron ore. “Qingzhi, can you tell if there are iron ores in this mountain?”
Chu Qingzhi picked up a stone and crushed it in her hand. She looked at the composition of the stone with the eyes of a weapon refiner. “Jinghong, this mountain is indeed rich with iron ores.”
“Old Master Ge has good judgment.”
“But his ability to handle problems is too poor. Otherwise, his family wouldn’t have to die because of this.”
Tang Jinghong asked out of curiosity, “Qingzhi, what would you do if it were you?”
Chu Qingzhi said, “If I couldn’t keep the mountain, 1 would definitely sell it to keep the lives of my family.”
Tang Jinghong pulled Chu Qingzhi’s hand and left. “Not everyone can resist temptation like you.”
Chu Qingzhi did not comment.
Then, the two of them arrived at the Heavenly Snow Mountain.
After Chu Qingzhi investigated it, she was surprised to discover that the iron ore resources in the Heavenly Snow Mountain were even richer than the Ge family’s mountain.
Tang Jinghong asked, “Qingzhi, how is it?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “You were right.”
Tang Jinghong looked up at the sky and said with some relief, “Fortunately, we came this time. Otherwise, if the Lord of the Northern Border and An Huai Kingdom occupied these mines, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Chu Qingzhi patted Tang Jinghong’s shoulder. “Jinghong, there’s another good thing.”
Tang Jinghong asked with interest, “What good thing?”
Chu Qingzhi pointed up. “There’s a snow lotus at the top of the mountain.”
“Are you sure there really is a snow lotus?” Even Tang Jinghong, a layman, knew how precious snow lotus was.
Chu Qingzhi was uncertain. “We’ll know when we go up and take a look.”
Tang Jinghong said, “Okay.”
The two of them flew up the mountain.
To be precise, the Heavenly Snow Mountain should be called a peak. The top of the mountain was very high up in the sky, hidden among the clouds.
Tang Jinghong’s meridians had been opened up quite a bit, and his internal energy had increased by 30%. Otherwise, it would probably be very difficult for him to fly so high up the mountain. However, it was quite easy now.
After flying for a while, the two of them arrived at the top of the mountain.
The two of them were very surprised to find that on the flat land at the top, there were already many people who had set up tents here. It looked like they had been here for quite some time.
There were about ten of them. When they saw the two of them, they immediately came over, their eyes filled with hostility.
Chu Qingzhi glanced around. There were old people, middle-aged people, and young people. Everyone was wary of them.
An old man asked coldly, “Who are you? What are you doing at the top of the mountain?”
Since the other party was not polite, there was no need for her to be polite either. Chu Qingzhi said unhappily, “Who we are has nothing to do with you. The mountaintop is a public place. What we’re here for has nothing to do with you!”
The middle-aged man said angrily, “Kid, I don’t care if you come up at other times, but during this special period, you are not welcome here. Please leave.”
Chu Qingzhi met the middle-aged man’s angry eyes. “What if we don’t?”
The old man said, “Kid, there’s no more land for you here. Why do you have to make yourself an annoyance?”
An arrogant young man threatened, “We have ten people here, but you only have two. Are you sure you want to go against us?”
Chu Qingzhi smiled coldly and said with an even more arrogant attitude, “Who do you think you are? So what if I want to go against you?”
The young man said fiercely, “Don’t go too far. We’re letting you leave now because we are good-natured people. Otherwise, we would have kicked you down the mountain long ago.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said provocatively, “You can try.”
The young man was furious. “You…”
Chu Qingzhi said leisurely, “Let me tell you, 1 want the snow lotus. Moreover, you can forget about talcing a single leaf of it.”
Everyone was furious. “You…”
Chu Qingzhi crossed her arms. “What? If you have any problem, come and fight me!”
Tang Jinghong chuckled. He could feel that the anger of these people was about to materialize.
The ten or so people looked at each other, killing intent flashing in their eyes. “Kill them!”
Compared to those who were agitated and furious, Chu Qingzhi was calm and collected. She was like an outsider. “Do you really want to die for a snow lotus?”
Someone roared, “You are the one dying, not us.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “1 see. In that case, let’s see!”
With that, she flashed behind the old man and kicked him…
“Ahhh—”
The old man flew down the mountain uncontrollably. It was so sudden that he couldn’t react.
Everyone saw the old man flying away and felt a chill. Before they could see Qingzhi’s move, the old man was already out of the game.
“Ahhh—”
Immediately after, the middle-aged man also flew down the mountain. Falling off from such a high place, he would die even if he knew martial arts!
Everyone was horrified by Chu Qingzhi’s ruthless moves.
But it was too late now.
“Ahhh…”
The third person was kicked down the mountain again. This person was afraid of heights. When he climbed up the mountain, he did not dare to look down at all. If he was kicked down like this, he would probably be frightened to death halfway.
“Ahhh—”
The fourth one was kicked down.
Someone finally stopped resisting…
“Brother, we can negotiate. Don’t kick me!”
“That’s right, brother. We apologize for taking you lightly. We won’t snatch the snow lotus from you. It’s all yours.”
“Brother, we know our mistake. We’ll leave ourselves. Don’t kick us.”
Chu Qingzhi looked at the cowards in disdain. She thought that they were tough. She didn’t expect them to be so easily frightened.
“Get lost!”
“Yes, yes, yes. We’ll get lost immediately!”
Thirty seconds later, only Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong were left at the top of the mountain..
