Tch, your words describe as if you're used to it,' Qian Cheng thought with a smile on his face.

"We'll arrive soon," Qian Chen said and then turned at a crossroads, Fu Xie Lan and the others following behind.

​​

They walked for about thirty minutes, during the journey into the Hunter Village, there were many pairs of eyes watching them. Not only that, several people stepped closer to see the piles of the hunt that filled the cart.

"Qian Cheng, it looks like your catch this time is very big," said one of the residents who approached them.

"Ah it's nothing compared to you guys," replied the middle-aged man as he continued to walk.

"Who are they by the way?" asked a young man standing on the side of the road, his eyes never leaving Xue Ning.

"They are my guests," Qian Chen replied then chuckled.

"Looks like your catch this time is very different from usual," replied the young man again then turned and entered the building made of wood, it seemed that was his residence.

Qian Cheng snorted when he saw the young man treating him without manners.

Fu Xie Lan's steps slowed down as Qian Cheng who was walking in front of her, entered a not so spacious home yard.

"Come in," he said, turning his head towards Fu Xie Lan and her three friends.

"You guys put the cart over there," he said giving instructions to the person carrying the cart containing the hunted results of Fu Xie Lan and her friends.

"Please come in. Think of this as your home," Qian Cheng said as he opened the door.

"Who do you live with?" Xue Ning suddenly asked when her eyes saw no one other than the middle-aged man himself.

"Me? I live alone. Why? Want to accompany me?" Qian Cheng replied laughing.

"Don't be tense, I'm just joking," he added again successfully normalizing Xue Ning's expression which had tensed up a few seconds ago.

"Get some rest."

"To the point, Uncle. We don't have much time," Fu Xie Lan replied.

"Sit down first, your trip must have been very tiring," said Qian Cheng then entered a room in the house. Ignore what the girl said.

Fu Xie Lan and the others were currently in a not-so-large room, some dried-up animal skins hanging on the walls, various types of horns also adorned the room. The smell of blood was still occasionally carried away by the wind.

Not only animal skins and horns, but several sharp objects of various sizes also hang neatly on the wall, arrows and several bows are among the objects.

A white table and chairs of the same color are in the same room. If you look closely, the table and chairs seem to be made of a collection of bones that are assembled very neatly.

The smooth surface on the chair also seemed to be made of some animal hair.

Even some of the other furniture in the room was made of the same material. Bones, feathers, and teeth are neatly assembled to form a beautiful art.

It turns out that even the teeth of animals can be used like that.

After sitting her body on a chair made of animal bones and fur, Fu Xie Lan's eyes continued to scan everything in the room. Even in the corner of the room, there were skeletons of beasts neatly arranged to form their original bodies.

If in a previous life, a room like this is more suitable to be called a museum than a residential house.

The atmosphere is very quiet, there is no sound except for the sound of the window opening in the wind.

"Where did Uncle Cheng go? Why didn't he show up too? We've been waiting for her for a long time," Xue Ning whispered to Ju Xian who was sitting next to her, even so, Fu Xie Lan and Wan Lie could still be heard it.

"Just wait, maybe in a while," said Fu Xie Lan still with a calm expression.

And at the same time, Qian Cheng appeared from behind the curtain in the room. In both hands was a tray of drinks and a plate of snacks.

Casually walked over to Fu Xie Lan and the other three.

"Ah, Uncle. Don't bother," Xue Ning said.

"It's okay, just relax. I told you before that you are my guests. And I should be the good host to you guys," Qian Cheng replied as he set the drinks and food on the table.

"Thank you, Uncle," said Fu Xie Lan in such a friendly tone of voice.

Knock...knock...knock

A knock on the door was heard and at that moment someone appeared from there.

"What is wrong?" Qian Cheng asked the person.

"We're done do it," the person said, more like a report.

"Erm," Qiang Chen nodded.

"Come out, tell the others not to disturb us. I wouldn't be happy if my guests would feel uncomfortable," he added.

"Okay," the man replied and closed the door again.

"I'm sorry, my subordinates sometimes don't understand the situation," said Qian Cheng apologetically.

"It's okay, Uncle," Fu Xie Lan replied.

"By the way, I don't know your names yet."

Xue Ning then spoke up to introduce herself and her friends.

"You guys drink, you must be very thirsty because of the long journey," said the middle-aged man.

"But Uncle, we s...."

"Thank you, Uncle. Sorry to trouble you," said Fu Xie Lan, cutting off Xue Ning's unfinished speech.

The girl's hand then moved to reach the glass containing the drink. Fu Xie Lan's eyes stared intently at the red liquid.

Events like this reminded her of the one where he foolishly gave up on life and preferred to die.

"It's wine. Sorry, but that's all I have," Qian Cheng said with a heavy sigh.

Seeing Fu Xie Lan take the glass, the other three people namely Wan Lie, Xue Ning, and Ju Xian followed the girl.

Slightly raising the edge of the Cloth that covers half of her face, just to allow the glass to come into contact with his lips, Fu Xie Lan then took a sip of the liquid, followed by the others.

Seeing Fu Xie Lan and the others downing the drinks in the glasses, a faint smile appeared on Qian Cheng's lips.

"Such a refreshing drink, thank you," Fu Xie Lan exclaimed.

"Glad you like it."

"So, straight to our original destination, Uncleroughly how many gold coins can we get if we sell our hunt to you?"

"Gold coins? Sell them to me? Hahaha," Qian Cheng is laughing.

"Don't talk carelessly, little boy, your prey has become mine since you drank the wine," he continued, still laughing.

And at the same time, Fu Xie Lan and the other three fell unconscious, the drink they had just consumed turned out to be poisonous.
