3. Departure.

Lu Zeng stood under the tree and shouted to Chu Ming: "Stinky brat, you dare run around, aren't you afraid of being bitten by wild wolves!?" "This is so infuriating!"

Chengfeng also laughed, "I didn't expect you to be so charming at such a young age. Haha, I'm impressed."

The wolf lady saw that the two of them arrived so quickly and fiercely and felt a sense of deterrence. She was a bit afraid and she couldn't help but go closer to Chu Ming.

Seeing the two coming at him aggressively, Chu Ming laughed and scolded him. He immediately became angry and retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting! Last night, when I went out to relieve myself from the encirclement of the wolves, she was the one who saved me! " Thinking about it, he realized that it wasn't a lie.

Lu Zeng looked at the wolf lady and saw that she was already as beautiful as a fairy at such a young age. However, when he looked at her undressed and disheveled appearance, he was angered and said: "Little bastard! What nonsense are you talking about, running around in the middle of the night and not getting bitten by the wolves ? "Also ?" He then pointed to the wolf girl and said, "You are so young, yet you dare to do such a thing. Kid, have I spoiled you?"

Seeing this, Chu Ming felt that he wouldn't be able to wash away his anger even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Thus, he could only turn his head towards the wolf girl, "Lan, explain to them, I really didn't do anything!"

The wolf girl looked at Lu Zeng and Chengfeng, then looked back at Chu Ming's anxious expression. She didn't understand human affairs, so she could only ask, "Explain, what?" The fact that he asked this question with a confused look nearly made Chu Ming die of anxiety.

When Lu Zeng heard the wolfwoman's words, he added fuel to the fire and said: "Brat, if you're done, then I'll do it. How can a manly man be so resistant? Can you get a little girl to explain this!? If you don't care about face, then I will also care about face! "

Chu Ming was on the verge of collapse. If this went on, then all his life, he would have to do something that others mistakenly thought he had done, but he could only say, "She's not very fluent in speech, so he doesn't understand much about the affairs of the world. If you ask him what I've done to him, then ask him!"

Lu Zeng frowned and said: "You crazy brat. How can a girl not speak fluently and not understand the ways of the world!"

Chu Ming anxiously said, "Explaining is very troublesome, are you willing to listen?!" He didn't quite believe that Lu Zeng would listen to his explanation.

Lu Zeng became furious and said, "Then you explain. I'm listening. If you speak nonsense and speak nonsense, I will destroy you, you little scum!"

Chu Ming exhaled, finally settling the matter. He told her everything that had happened to him last night. At first, Lu Zeng didn't believe it, but after it was confirmed by the wolf girl, he finally believed Chu Ming's words. Chengfeng was listening on the side with interest.

After a while, Lu Zeng suppressed his anger and said: "Kid, you still dare to run around and watch me break your butt!"

Chengfeng said from the side, "Young brother, this trip is too much for Old Master Lu. He used up all his internal energy and covered a distance of more than ten miles. It almost caused you to fall behind when I couldn't keep up with him."

Lu Zeng harrumphed.

Ever since he was young, he had never treated Chu Ming shabbily. Every time when he was down and out, he would be unwilling to eat more, giving away all the food he had, even though Chu Ming often quarreled with him, but never once had he hated Lu Zeng. To Chu Ming, Lu Zeng was closer to his own father than his own grandfather, and Lu Zeng had always thought this way.

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't be angry, I'm here. Why don't we prepare to go down from Qingzhou City? We're almost there, haha."

Lu Zeng rolled his eyes at him and said: "You actually know of Qingzhou City? Then quickly come down here."

Chu Ming nodded, pulling the wolf girl beside him and said, "Let's get off."

The wolf girl nodded and quickly followed Chu Ming down the tree. She then looked at the bushes behind and then looked at Chu Ming.

Seeing her current state, Chu Ming knew that she wanted to return to the pack of wolves. Seeing so many strangers in one day must have made her feel uncomfortable.

The wolf girl let out a little snort. The bush behind her moved a little. Chu Ming could feel that it was a pack of wolves. Lu Zeng and Chengfeng were also staring at the bush. If the wolves attacked, the two of them would kill them.

The shrubbery moved a few times and then stopped, as if it had been stopped by the wolfwoman.

Ever since he met the wolf girl, Chu Ming had a very good impression of her. This time, he had to go to Qingzhou with Lu Li, but Lang Nu didn't know what to do, so she suggested: "Lan, follow us, don't be with the wolves anymore. This isn't suitable for girls."

The wolf girl turned her head and looked at Chu Ming expressionlessly. After a moment of thought, she shook her head.

The Wolf Woman and the Wolves have lived for a long time, so how could they possibly change their lives because of me? Chu Ming smirked and shook his head, then said, "I must go to the Azure Continent and help Uncle Ping dissolve the poison, otherwise, I won't be able to live past this year. So, it seems that we have to separate now." Chu Ming pointed in the direction of the Azure Continent.

When the wolf girl heard this, she remained expressionless, but she held onto Chu Ming's hand.

Seeing her like this, Chu Ming was also inexplicably happy. He said, "You don't like me leaving?"

The Wolf Woman nodded.

Chu Ming smiled and said, "If I stay here, I'll definitely die from poison at the end of the year. At that time, you can eat me like meat."

When the wolf girl heard this, she shook her head even more.

Chengfeng and Lu Zeng couldn't help but find it funny when they saw these two children being so mischievous.

Chenfeng interjected, saying, "Little brother, this plot isn't easy to solve. Mister Lu and I will wait for you in the distance. We'll follow behind you after separating the two of you." Then he whispered a few sentences to Lu Zeng, who nodded and left with Chengfeng.

Chu Ming saw the two of them walk a few meters away before turning back. "Are you and the wolf pack here?"

The Wolf Woman nodded.

Chu Ming patted the wolf girl's head and said, "How about this, I'll go to Qingzhou City and cure the poison once, then we'll build a house here with Grandpa Lu and play with you every day, okay?"

The wolfwoman nodded, but kept her hand tightly clenched.

Chu Ming continued saying, "I also don't want to go to Qingzhou City. I also want to go with Lan, but I heard from Grandpa Lu that when I was young, I was bitten by a poisonous monster, and the poisonous aura flowed into my body, causing it to not dissipate. Every year at this time, Grandpa Lu would bring me to find Uncle Ping to help relieve my poison for me."

The wolf lady said in an unfamiliar tone, "Sin-Ku."

Chu Ming smiled and said, "That's right. "Alright, if I don't go chase those two people, they'll get angry. I'll be back in three days. I'll come back to find you then. Don't forget."

The wolf girl nodded again, then let go of Chu Ming's hand.

Chu Ming smiled at her, then turned around and walked a few steps back to look at the wolf girl. Seeing that she still had no expression, he bitterly smiled and thought to himself, "I can't even show an expression anymore after living with the wolves. I must teach her in the future, how beautiful she would be when she smiles."

Chu Ming left the place in large strides. Along the way, he had turned his head back countless times and had always seen the same face looking at him with the same expression. It made him feel a wave of pain in his heart.

It wasn't until the waves disappeared that Chu Ming finally broke into a run and followed the two people in front of him.

These two people, Chengfeng, had been asking Xiao Xiangzi questions nonstop the entire way back. However, he had forgotten to ask Lu Zeng and Chu Ming about the purpose of their trip to Qingzhou City. Now that Chu Ming seemed to be interested in detoxifying the poison, he asked Lu Zeng, "Sir, is Mister here to cure little brother Chu Ming's poison?"

Lu Zeng looked at Chengfeng, then turned his head and said, "Yes, Chu Ming was born with a highly toxic poison. Every year, this period of time is the time when the poison breaks out, so every time I bring him to Qingzhou City to get rid of the poison from an old friend, only then will he be able to save his life."

Chengfeng continued, "How did Chu Ming get this poison?"

Lu Zeng sighed, shook his head and said, "This child has a mischievous temperament. A few years ago, I took him to the Poison King's Valley to meet an old friend. My old friend is a poison addict ?" Before Lu Zeng could finish his sentence, Chengfeng interrupted him and said, "Could it be that the old mister's good friend is Poison King Xue Nei?"

At that time, Ming'er was only seven years old, yet he was playing around with his daughter Xue Bai Ling, who was the same age as him. Brother Xue Nong and I were drunk on the spot, but who would have thought that the two of us were playing around in the Blood Poison Swamp, where Brother Xue Bai did not dare to trespass, and when Xue Bai Ling woke us up, we saw Ming'er lying on a pile of rocks beside the swamp, unconscious. After that period of absence, Brother Xue'er was unable to make a diagnosis. Fortunately, Brother Ping Jie was around at that time, so he spent a few days and nights healing the dragon poison. After the dragon poison was spread all over his limbs, it couldn't condense into poison that threatened Ming'er, which meant that he could save his life for tomorrow. However, this dragon poison is too strong. Every time it reaches this point, it will break through the power of Brother Bian Jie's medicine and condense it back together. Therefore, every year, I will bring Ming'er to the Cyan Plains City to meet Brother Bian, so that he can use the medicine again to stabilize the dragon poison. When Chengfeng heard this, he couldn't help but feel pity for this thirteen year old child. Although he was young and on the verge of death, he still didn't show any signs of weakness due to the dragon's poison. This child was truly tenacious.

Thinking of this, Chu Ming had already caught up.

Seeing that Chu Ming had followed him, Chengfeng couldn't help but think back to what had happened just now. He laughed, "You're just a small fry, are you trying to make a marriage with someone with such deep feelings for you?"

When Chu Ming saw him beaming, he immediately felt ashamed. He turned his head away and said angrily: "Who cares!"

Seeing this, Chengfeng smiled without saying a word.

With a lazy look, Lu Zeng walked on leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Chu Ming saw that the two of them didn't ride a horse, so he asked, "That's enough, where's the horse?"

Chengfeng sighed and said, "Old Master was in too much of a hurry to find you. He even forgot to ride his horse. It's still in the rundown temple, let's go on a tour."

Chu Ming replied with an "Oh" and no longer spoke.

The three of them walked like this for an hour before finally arriving at the run-down temple. Just as they were about to go in and fetch their horses, they heard voices coming from inside.

"San'er, bring these two horses along for me. We're leaving immediately."

"Boss, are we not going to wait for the owner of the horse?"

"What are we waiting for them to do? Do you really want to cause trouble for yourself? "

"No, no. Since they have horses, they definitely have some silver on them. Who knows, there might even be a woman. If she looks good, that's fine ?"

"Not bad, not bad, you little rascal."

"Then, shall we hide here?"

"Alright, hide well."

The three people who were standing in front of the temple heard the conversation and frowned. Chu Ming pulled Lu Zeng and angrily said, "Grandfather, go in and kill them!"

Lu Zeng threw a backhand at Chu Ming, giving him a fright. Chu Ming covered his head and angrily said: "Why did you hit me!"

Lu Zeng spoke as if it was a joke: "Murdering and begging is child's play! How can you be so heartless at such a young age! Wouldn't he fall into the Path of Demon in the future? "

Chengfeng interjected, "Mister Lu's words are harsh, but this child actually became heartless just because I loathe them. The two people inside are indeed full of bad words and their actions are definitely dirty. I would not feel that it's a pity even if I were to kill them."

Lu Zeng turned his head to look at Chengfeng and said: "This old man has been through a lot of good and evil in this world." Lu Zeng turned his head to look at Chengfeng and said: "This old man has experienced a lot of good and evil in this world.

After hearing these words, Chengfeng remained silent, grabbing the Heavenly Road Sword tightly.

Chu Ming saw the sincerity in Lu Zeng's words. He knew that Lu Zeng must have killed too many people when he was young, and now that night had fallen, he was often woken up from his sleep. This was one of the reasons why Chu Ming was not so good at fighting.

Seeing the two of them fall silent, Lu Zeng didn't say anything more and walked in. However, after a while, he brought the two horses out. There was still no sound from the inside.

Chu Ming asked curiously, "What happened to them?"

Without turning his head, Lu Zeng got on his horse and said: "My acupuncture points will automatically clear up in an hour. Let's go, we should hurry to Qingzhou City before afternoon. I also want to cure your poison today."

Chenfeng mounted his horse and led the way.

Chu Ming climbed onto the horse and sat behind Lu Zeng. Lu Zeng gave the order and the horse headed towards Qingzhou.
