White Snow- Princess Li Bai Xue

Jiang Yue was getting ready to pick herbs on the mountain when Long You shows up. "YueEr, let's go together."

"No need," Jiang Yue rejected him coldly.

"Why?" Long You asked sadly.

"Because if you are with me then you will just distract me. You will continue talking non-stop. Annoy me by asking too many questions. I will never reach my goal if you go with me," Jiang Yue said.

Long You frowned, thinking of a compromise. "Then I won't talk at all. I promise as long as I go with you I will not talk at all."

"No," she once again rejected coldly.

"Why?" This time, Long You found it unreasonable that she wouldn't let him go with her.

"Even without speaking, your presence alone is enough to make me unfocused on collecting herbs," Jiang Yue said. She didn't dare say that she felt nervous if he was quiet and was just watching her work.

Long You wasn't happy. He knew that Jiang Yue wouldn't return his feelings, but thought that she would at least treat him equally. But he was wrong.

Zhi Xiang was organizing the herbs with Jing Wu, smiling at their interaction. She looks at Jing Wu asking something with her eyes. He naturally smiles at her, agreeing with her request.

"A'Yue! I want to come as well. If we go together then it will get done faster. Jing Wu will also come along," Zhi Xiang said.

Jiang Yue looks at everyone and sighs. "Fine, but you can't talk too much!" She points at Long You. Long You agree because he was happy that he can accompany her.

Jiang Yue and Zhi Xiang were busy collecting and discussing with one another that the boys became forgotten, however they didn't mind.

Just as they were heading down the mountain, they heard a roar and a woman scream. Long You put Jiang Yue behind his back while Jing Wu grabbed Zhi Xiang.

"Wu Er, go help the woman first. She could be in trouble. I and the rest will come," Zhi Xiang urges. Jing Wu didn't want to leave her side, but he couldn't deny her request so he agreed. He knew that Zhi Xiang wanted to help the woman and he had the highest level of cultivation among them so she told him to leave first.

Jiang Yue saw Jing Wu leaving, kicking Long You leg. "Go help him! Are you waiting for an invitation!"

Long You was startled, but he also left under Jiang Yue pressures. Jiang You and Zhi Xiang both have lower cultivation skills so they were slower in catching up.

Jing Wu found the woman. She was staring at the beast. Jing Wu admits that her beauty was something he had never seen, but he didn't fall for her. The only one in his heart is Zhi Xiang. Jing Wu was about to help her when he saw the look in her eye. She looks like she was accepting her fate to die.

He naturally didn't want to help her if she wanted to die. That was until he had the look in her eyes changed. It had a look of d.e.s.i.r.e, greed, and most importantly it was full of undying fire. He startled, but only for a moment.

He quickly regained his composure and went to help the beautiful woman.
