Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 374 Surrounded

Long Jingyun issued a bounty specifically targeting all members of the Wang family, which infuriated Wang Xiaoman. That's why she humbly begged Lu Yang to help her cripple the other party and avenge the entire Wang family.

A glint of light flashed in Lu Yang's eyes. He hadn't expected that the moment Wang Xiaoman bowed, a glimpse of her snow-white skin would be revealed. He quickly looked away and nodded in agreement, "No problem!"

Actually, there was no need for Wang Xiaoman to beg him for help like this. As soon as he saw Long Jingyun, he would have her kill him.

The last time the other party managed to escape by chance, it caused him a lot of trouble afterward. He didn't want this trouble to continue to exist, so nipping it in the bud was the best way to truly solve the problem.

Then, led by Wang Xiaoman, they continued toward the Phoenix Grassland, which she knew.

Along the way, they rescued several more members of the Wang family who were being hunted by bounty posters.

Those scions of noble families or disciples of sects who were chasing after the Wang family members were all ruthlessly killed on the spot by Wang Xiaoman, without showing any mercy.

As they approached Phoenix Grassland, Wang Xiaoman stopped and turned to Lu Yang, asking earnestly, "Master Lu, we're almost at the entrance to Phoenix Grassland. Should we make some preparations to deal with Long Jingyun and the others?"

Wang Xiaoman could imagine that Long Jingyun and his group had definitely set up a real trap at the entrance of Phoenix Grassland, waiting for them. If they didn't make some preparations in advance, they might suffer a great loss.

Lu Yang said with a nonchalant disdain, "There's no need for any special preparations to deal with Long Jingyun and his group. We can just go find them directly!"

Seeing Lu Yang's nonchalant and confident demeanor, Wang Xiaoman finally felt much relieved. She had been genuinely worried that Lu Yang and his group would be overwhelmed by the inescapable trap set up by Long Jingyun and the others, and would suffer a great loss.

Before long, a dense forest appeared before them. A path leading through the center of this forest led to the real Phoenix Grassland.

Just as they reached the middle of the woods along the road, the quiet forest was suddenly filled with the sound of countless strong winds. Then, several figures quickly appeared around them, completely surrounding them.

These people were disciples of various sects and scions of prominent families.

Da da da!

Soon, footsteps came from behind these people. The disciples of the sects and the scions of noble families quickly made way for them. Lu Yang and his group saw Long Jingyun and Brother Cui, as well as other young masters and noblemen from the capital, martial arts prodigies from the inner sects of the sects, and martial arts prodigies from the direct lineages of noble families walking towards them.

They stopped not far from Lu Yang and his group. Long Jingyun's gaze swept across the entire scene. He discovered that not only were there Wang Xiaoman and many other members of the Wang family, but also Lu Yang, whom he had been longing for, along with his girlfriend Chu Yuyao and the stunningly beautiful Xin Yi.

He burst into excited laughter: "Haha...Great, that's fantastic!"

"I never imagined that this scheme I specially arranged for Wang Xiaoman today would actually attract the person I most want to see!"

He glanced at Lu Yang and his two companions with a mocking look, then turned to Wang Xiaoman and said with amusement, "Wang Xiaoman, I've heard from other aristocratic families that your Wang family obtained the Phoenix Spirit Herb in the Phoenix Grassland ten years ago. Now, if you obediently tell us the exact location of the Phoenix Spirit Herb and take us there, I might spare the lives of everyone in your Wang family. What do you say?"

Wang Xiaoman scanned her surroundings but didn't see any of the captured members of the Wang family. She frowned and asked, "Long Jingyun, you said you'd release everyone in the Wang family, so what about those Wang family members you put a bounty on?"

"I need to see them right now, and you have to promise to release them before I can answer your questions!"

Long Jingyun frowned, but still shouted to those behind him, "Bring everyone from the Wang family to the front so they can reunite with Wang Xiaoman!"

Soon, a number of members of the Wang family were escorted out of the woods behind them. Although they were all covered in injuries, they were not in any real danger.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoman finally felt completely relieved.

She was genuinely worried that Long Jingyun would wipe out all the captured members of the Wang family before she even arrived.

Long Jingyun waved his hand and said, "Let them go!"

Those who were escorting the Wang family immediately obeyed orders and released everyone in the Wang family. The Wang family members then gathered at the location of Wang Xiaoman and the others.

Wang Xiaoman asked with great concern, "Are your injuries serious? I have some healing pills here; I'll distribute them to you now!"

As she spoke, she took out a porcelain bottle containing healing pills, poured out a considerable amount of the pills, and distributed them to the injured members of the Wang family.

After Wang Xiaoman finished distributing the pills, Long Jingyun shook his neck a few times before saying to her, "Wang Xiaoman, I have fulfilled my promise as you asked. Now it's your turn to fulfill yours!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoman's sexy lips curled into a playful smile, and she said teasingly, "A promise? What promise? Did I just promise you anything?"

"I was just giving you an answer, not making any real promise!"

Upon hearing this, Long Jingyun frowned, his expression turning fierce. Enraged, he cursed, "Wang Xiaoman, you filthy bitch, how dare you play tricks on me! Do you really want all of your Wang family members to die in front of you before you'll willingly reveal the exact location of the Phoenix Spirit Grass?"

Upon hearing this, the rest of the Wang family members adopted a fearless, death-defying demeanor and said to Wang Xiaoman, "Sister Xiaoman, we're not afraid to die. Please don't reveal where the Phoenix Spirit Grass is. If you do, they probably won't truly let us go. Now, we'll fight them to the death!"

"Yes, let's fight them! Even if it means death, we won't let those bastards get away with it!"

"The exact location of the Phoenix Spirit Herb was discovered at great cost by many of our Wang family ancestors; it cannot be easily revealed!"

"Let's give it our all!"

"Let's fight them..."

Upon hearing this, Long Jingyun's expression grew even colder. He hadn't expected that these members of the Wang family weren't so stupid after all. He had indeed planned to have Wang Xiaoman reveal the truth, and then personally lead them to find the Phoenix Spirit Grass before wiping out Wang Xiaoman and all the other members of the Wang family.

This is the tragic consequence of the other party refusing to easily reveal the exact location of the Phoenix Spirit Grass.
