Chapter 2727: Alone

She continued to walk forward, and as the night fell, she still hadn’t walked out of the mangrove forest. So, she found a place and sat down. She lit a fire and rested.

The deep and cold mangrove forest was silent, only a cluster of flames danced about in the forest. Feng Jiu, who was sitting by the fire dressed in red, seemed to be integrated with her surroundings.

A group of people were walking in the forest and vaguely saw the flames dancing in the forest. The leader of the group paused and said to the people behind him: “There seems to be a fire over there. Could someone be sleeping in the forest at night?”

“Who would dare to sleep here? He’s really not afraid of death!” The man behind him said and turned his head toward the direction of the flames.

“We’ve been in this forest for several days and have been unable to get out, tell you what! Let’s go and see who that person up ahead is, and see if the opposition knows how to get out of this forest.”

When they heard the words of their leader, the people behind him thought for a while, then nodded in response: “Alright.” So, the group walked in that direction, and the surrounding leaves automatically avoided them when they touched them. Obviously, they had also been dealt with by those people previously.

Feng Jiu was drinking monkey wine under the tree when she heard footsteps coming towards her. She squinted and looked in the direction of the footsteps. After a while, she saw that there were more than twenty torches moving towards her. At first glance, the jumping flames were like ghosts at night.

She looked that way to those people, so of course they looked the same to her.

When they came towards the flames, they saw the fire burning in the distance, and when they looked again, they only saw the head of a man staring at them. It was late at night, and when they saw him staring at them like that, they were so frightened that they ran ahead to see what was going on and exclaimed.

“What the hell!”

Feng Jiu was startled, she glanced at those people with a strange expression, then she lowered her head and looked at her red clothes and chuckled: “I am not a ghost.”

Upon hearing the laughter, the two men were still a little wary. It wasn’t until they had looked closely that they saw it was a young man in a red robe. The ambiguity before became clear and there was also relief in their hearts.

“I thought you were a ghost! You gave me a fright when I saw a head staring at us. What the hell.” One of the men muttered as he approached and looked at Feng Jiu’s body.

“Don’t be presumptuous.”

The leader of the group shouted with a sullen face and glanced at the young man. The man had wanted to speak, but when he saw her look, he closed his mouth and went back.

The young man looked at the red-clothed boy sitting down and concealed his surprise. He cupped his hands: “Don’t take offence, Your Excellency, my brother means no harm.”

Feng Jiu smiled and glanced at the young man who spoke and said: “It’s fine.” She continued drinking and tasted the monkey wine carefully.

Upon hearing this, the young man asked: “Are you alone? I wonder if we can accompany you?”

When she heard this, Feng Jiu raised her brows slightly and looked at that young man without smiling.
