Chapter 117: The Congratulatory Gift

  After great difficulty collecting some branches from all around, I don't know how to light them on fire.

  Lighter? Who can lend me one!

  Do I have to drill wood for fire? Forget it, let me try!

  I found two pieces of wood, but I don't know how to dig a hole. I heard that you need to put dry grass in the hole too. Where am I supposed to find dry grass? Looking at the firelight in the cave again, I'll just go look for it!

  After great difficulty I managed to pull some dry grass over, but then I didn't know how to dig out the wooden sticks from the hole.

  I looked back at the huge rock behind me and got an idea. I put dry grass in the gap of the rock, and then used wood to drill hard. But after drilling for half a day, my hands were all blistered, and still no fire was drilled out.

  Just when I was about to give up, a spark ignited!

  I suddenly jumped up excitedly. Just as I was about to shout "Yes", a damn gust of wind blew by, and the small flame was extinguished again!

  "Damn it..." I suddenly felt like a deflated balloon and sat down on the ground. I muttered curses under my breath: "Damn you, Ying Mo Yu, if it wasn't for you scaring me away, would I be in such a miserable state? You didn't even try to stop me when I was leaving, and instead intimidated me! You're truly a shame to society, a loser among humans..." Just as I was venting nonstop, I heard a cold voice behind me...

  "If you're incompetent, just say so, no need to shift all the blame onto me!"

  "Uh..." I chuckled and turned my head sideways, "When did you arrive?"

  "When you scold me." Yu Rou said with her arms around her body.

  "I didn't scold you, I was scolding those assassins who made us fall off the cliff!" I explained. Suddenly, as if remembering something: "Hey, do you think the assassin who made us fall could be from the country of Zi Qi?"

  "It should be them." Mo Yu replied.

  "In other words, they have already seen through the Emperor's plan!" I concluded.

  "Right." Mo You seemed to have also fallen into deep thought.

  I looked at Ying Mo You and continued to ask: "Didn't you say that the real gift is on your body? What is it? Take it out and let me see!"

  "You've already seen it."

  "Kidding!" I replied immediately. Suddenly, the corner of my mouth twitched: "You, you said gift, it can't be..."

  "Uh-huh, you're very clever." Mo Yu nodded in agreement.

  Good heavens! That dagger was the gift all along!

  He's still trying to deceive me by saying that he brought this dagger along because it's convenient to carry, isn't this deceiving an underage girl?

  No way! The gift must be something very precious. This dagger is also a rare treasure. I thought carefully: in that case, haven't I eaten fish that was scaled with a rare treasure and then roasted?

  So, didn't I make a profit?

  "Right! I clapped my hands and turned around to face Mo Youxiao, smiling: "Since we've all seen it, why not take it out again for me to appreciate?"

  "He... " Mo Yu looked at me helplessly for a moment. Suddenly, his expression solidified.

  "Be careful!" He pulled me behind him in one swift motion. I stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

  Then he swung his sleeve and the dagger hidden in the dark place shot forward with a "whoosh" sound.

  I looked in the direction, and saw that on the ground was a python cut in half by a dagger. The python was as thick as a bowl mouth. At this moment, it was still twisting its body. In a short while, it stopped moving.
