What was even more ridiculous was that the young master's intention was not to kill or capture the two ladies. Once he saw that they could not hold on any longer, he would order them to stop the chase.
When the other party had more or less recovered, a new round of pursuit would be launched, and this cycle would repeat itself over and over again.
Although it would not kill the two ladies, it would definitely make them suffer, entangling them tightly like a nightmare.
Rather than calling the whole thing strange, it would be more accurate to say that it was bizarre!
It was bizarre to the point of being out of the ordinary!
This strange farce of hunting/hunting/cultivating relationship happened only when Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan were at the end of their tether and the guards and maids accompanying them were all killed. Only then did they finally receive the message from their clans.
The messenger birds sent by the two great families were all hunted down by this so-called young master.
When the last bird that escaped the net was finally caught by Ji Lingxi, the two ladies almost fainted from anger when they found out about the whole incident.
Knowing that the matter could no longer be hidden, the young master finally showed himself to negotiate with the two ladies.
However, the two ladies hated him to the core for all the tricks he had played on them. How could they agree to the absurd marriage of two ladies serving the same husband?
Therefore, the two ladies continued their escape while the young master continued his pursuit, maintaining the same pace as before.
I won't let a single person who appears around you get away.
Only the two of you will not be killed or severely injured.
The stalemate continued, reverting to the cat-and-mouse game from before.
I won't kill you, I'm not in a hurry to capture you, but I won't let you go either. Let's see who can last longer in the end …
The strangeness and inexplicability of this incident was the most bizarre in the world!
The two ladies had never lacked suitors due to their stunning looks, but they had never seen one like this!
"Sister Lan, what … is going on?" Ji Lingxi was sweating profusely as she panted. "Even if it's a marriage proposal, even if it's a forced marriage, why did that person use such a method?"
Yue Rulan was perplexed as well. Her leg had been broken when she was escaping, so she could only be carried by Ji Lingxi. Fortunately, both of them knew the truth and were at least relieved, no longer in such a hurry to escape.
If he was tired, he would simply rest on the spot.
Although the other party seemed to have been stopping them from escaping to Tiantang City with a mysterious motive, it was also a fact that he had not killed them.
For now, they could only seal off their way to Tiantang City.
However, it was precisely because of this that the two women were even more confused.
"I can't figure it out no matter how I think about it." Yue Rulan shook her head, troubled.
"Since he's given a betrothal gift to our family, he must be interested in something about us. Is it our looks? But I don't remember seeing this person before. A person who does things like this must be ostentatious in his daily actions. If I had encountered him, I'd have a deep impression of him," Ji Lingxi said in distress.
"I probably haven't seen him before!"
Yue Rulan said, "With his way of doing things, if we'd seen him earlier, I'm afraid he would have made his move long ago instead of waiting until now. Don't forget how long we've been out. He must have found out about our situation during the time we were out traveling, that's why he did what he did today!"
"However, if he hasn't even seen us before this … then isn't what he's doing a little too unusual?" Ji Lingxi was getting more and more perplexed.
"What he's doing is illogical. Think about it, a person who really intends to propose would not use such a method to woo someone. How is this cultivating feelings? This is obviously tormenting someone to insanity …" Yue Rulan frowned.
"Yes, our family has agreed to his proposal and accepted his betrothal gift. The order of our parents and the matchmaker's gifts are all in place. Even if we're unwilling, it's a done deal. Both of us can even be considered part of his family now … "
Ji Lingxi replied, "Although we definitely won't agree to this marriage, he won't be sure of our attitudes at all before he meets us. With his generosity and wealth, I'm afraid there are plenty of people who want to marry him!"
"So, his so-called chasing after women and nurturing feelings are already illogical actions in and of itself?"
"Then, he played the cat and mouse game with us. He chased us for tens of thousands of miles and killed all the people around us. How … how could he have the slightest intention of asking for our hand in marriage?"
Yue Rulan frowned.
"But since he's done this and gone to such lengths, there must be a reason!"
Ji Lingxi said, "Such an incomprehensibly crazy behavior … there must be a reason why they did it after giving the betrothal gift!"
"If there isn't a reason, why would they go to such lengths? If they really wanted to capture us, we would have been captured and brought back by now! "
"But what is the reason for doing this? This was a big headache for him. No matter how you look at it, this shouldn't be happening. "
As the two women fled, they discussed and pondered over and over again, but in the end, they didn't have the slightest clue.
After a long and repetitive conversation, they could only come to one conclusion – the other party must have an important purpose. Otherwise, no other reason could explain such a crazy action.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
A group of men dressed in black appeared once more. Tiny hidden weapons that were as dense as rain danced in the air.
Faced with such a familiar dangerous situation, the two girls could only choose to run again.
They could only feel their teeth itching.
This wasn't the first time they were in a situation like this. Although their lives weren't in danger, they still had other concerns. The hidden weapons they were facing right now wouldn't pose a threat to their lives, but it was a huge taboo to their appearance!
A slight carelessness and they would be disfigured!
The thing that a woman treasured the most had always been her looks, especially beautiful women.
This was especially true for beautiful women. They cherished their looks more than they cherished their lives.
Therefore, they could only choose to continue fighting and running.
"Hahahaha …"
Arrogant laughter came from the forest on the other side.
A young man dressed in green had a triumphant smile in his eyes as he watched the two girls flee in panic. His laughter grew more and more carefree. He was like a confident cat playing with a mouse between its paws.
"Bastard!" Ji Lingxi's clear voice that was filled with hatred came from afar.
"Hahaha …"
The young man chuckled in delight once more, as if he was responding to Ji Lingxi's insult.
Beside the young man was a thin, sinister-looking old man. The old man observed the two girls' mental state and said softly, "Young lord, these two girls are not to be trifled with. Their temperament is tenacious and their personality is steady. For someone of their age, they are truly outstanding. It is something this old servant has never seen in my life. "
The young man chuckled. "If not, why would it be worth us making such a big fuss?"
"Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid we'll need a long time to achieve the situation we want," said the old man.
"It's alright. I have patience now. This hunting game is fun!"
The young man had a smile on his face. "Pass down my order. Be careful not to tire them to death. After chasing for a while more … let them break out of the encirclement. Also, give them some time to find something to eat. Don't let my little beauties starve to death. Sigh, these two people are really too stubborn. We sent them food, but they refused to eat. Otherwise, we wouldn't have this trouble."
"Yes."
"It's estimated that … we'll be able to achieve our goal in another two months."
The young man watched Ji Lingxi's agile figure as she fled with Yue Rulan on her back and praised, "This daughter of the Ji Family is the most talented in this world! She must have broken through three major levels in this continuous pursuit, haven't she? "
The black-robed old man replied, "That's right. She's already at the eighth peak now! Young lord, if it weren't for the fact that this girl is of great help to your cultivation and is hard to give up, I'm afraid she would be a target for those old monsters to fight over just based on her talent alone! "
The young man's eyes were half-lidded as he said, "This talent alone is definitely outstanding even in the Bound of Universe. Come to think of it, what use do I have for her if she doesn't have such talent? "
"You're right, young lord."
"Right, did you catch the monkey beside the girl?" asked the young man.
"That Thousand Illusion Monkey is unusually agile and possesses the ability to transform and hide. We've lost track of it a long time ago and it's impossible to capture it. It's long gone by now, but the monkey is still in its infancy and only has its natural instincts. It hasn't developed any further intelligence and won't cause any more variables. "The old man lowered his head.
"That might not be the case. Variables are never certain. A little monkey might be able to create a variable … It's just that with its current level of spiritual consciousness, it won't be able to explain the current situation clearly even if it goes to get reinforcements, will it?" As the young man spoke, a mocking smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
The black-robed old man chuckled as well. "Even if there's a chance and reinforcements really come, what kind of reinforcements can there be in the entire Tianxuan Continent that can scare us? Even their families have given up on them, let alone the others! "
The young man smiled playfully and said, "Actually, I'm really looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements now … I guess the person who's coming is probably the only hope to maintain their fighting spirit and perseverance … If we kill all of their reinforcements right in front of them … Do you think we'll achieve our goal earlier?"
The black-robed old man's eyes brightened. "Young lord, that's a brilliant plan!"
He suddenly came to a realization. "Young Master, when that monkey escaped, Young Master was not far away. With that young monkey's insignificant cultivation, how could it escape from Young Master's eyes? Could it be that … Young Master had already made up his mind from then on?"
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He praised, "Young lord, you're really far-sighted and far-sighted!"
