Chapter 181 Is it possible that I don't need a husband at all?

Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, Lao Bai immediately burst into laughter:

"Hey Lolo, when did you develop this little money-grubber personality? Your future husband will really have to be really rich to support you."

Luo Zixi immediately smiled and said:

Is it possible that I don't need a husband at all?

Old Bai was immediately speechless.

No matter how different his thinking is from that of people today, it is still hard to imagine how a woman could survive in such an environment if she didn't get married.

You can be drowned by other people's spittle alone; the opinions of relatives, the strange thoughts of neighbors and friends, all sorts of things will follow.

The key issue is the immense pressure from public opinion; how can one not get married...?

However, Lao Bai thought about Luo Zixi's abilities and her strong personality.

This young woman might actually be capable of not getting married.

Moreover, they can enjoy themselves and make their lives more fulfilling.

Other women might not be able to live without their husbands, but Luo Zixi is different; she's a ruthless character!

Looking at the methods she possessed, Bai Jingyan awkwardly realized that Luo Zixi really didn't seem to need any men.

So what should he do?

"Old Bai, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and take me to the treasure trove. You're not trying to renege on your promise, are you?"

Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, Lao Bai couldn't help but smile wryly and obediently continued leading the way.

However, what puzzled Luo Zixi was that Lao Bai seemed to have become a bit depressed and unhappy, and even spoke much less.

Luo Zixi scratched her head, even more puzzled. What's wrong with Lao Bai? Why does he seem so listless?

Could it be that he's starting to feel bad about the payment?

It's normal to feel heartbroken, after all, it's such a huge treasure trove with so much wealth, it's heartbreaking to give it away.

But Luo Zixi didn't care about any of that. No matter who it was, they couldn't renege on their debt to her!

However, something unexpected still happened to her.

"Old Bai, stop! There are people ahead!"

Bai Jingyan was taken aback when he heard this. Who could be in this desolate wilderness?

However, he trusted Luo Zixi. Luo Zixi's investigative abilities and scope were much greater than his, and she had already discovered the anomaly through some subtle clues.

In fact, this was all thanks to Luo Zixi's pets, who had scouted out everything around them well in advance. The entire mountain forest was under Luo Zixi's watchful eye, and nothing could escape her notice.

Therefore, upon detecting the danger, she immediately issued a warning. After all, if they got too close, the other side would also spot them.

In those days, it was impossible for people from Northeast China to go into the mountains and forests without carrying any weapons.

At that point, a fierce battle is inevitable.

Moreover, Luo Zixi already knew that the people in front of her had close ties with the bad guys from Feiyun Mountain, and might even be members of that group themselves.

As a result, Luo Zixi dared not be so presumptuous.

She never underestimates any enemy or opponent, because that's tantamount to courting death.

Even if the opponent is much weaker than her, she must go all out, like a lion hunting a rabbit!

All those who capsize in the gutter do so because they underestimate their opponents.

Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, Bai Jingyan indicated that he understood and, in perfect unison, they both slowed their pace.

In this jungle, the traces of human footsteps are still very obvious.

They soon discovered that the people ahead of them seemed to be heading to the same destination.

"Old Bai, didn't you say that only your Bai family knew about this place? How come these people were able to find it too?"

Luo Zixi asked in a low voice, "We haven't seen anyone yet, but they shouldn't be far away."

Old Bai was also completely bewildered:

"I am indeed the only one who knows about the treasure's location. No one else would know about it, nor would they be able to come this far!"

Luo Zixi rolled her eyes:

"Well, I don't know where things went wrong. But I think the information about your treasure location has been leaked."

"Those two in front are clearly headed for that old village. Don't tell me they're after its good location?"

Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, Lao Bai immediately realized what she meant:

"You know what, it's actually possible. But what are these people from Feiyun Mountain up to? Why would they choose a bandit's den as their base?"

Luo Zixi then scoffed:

"That possibility cannot be ruled out. If we hadn't come to Feiyun Mountain today, wouldn't the village secretary here have been able to continue to act lawlessly?"

“These people are used to covering things up; no bad news can get out of the village. I have a feeling that those educated youth in the village are going to suffer.”

Old Bai understood perfectly well what she meant.

However, now that we're so far from the village, it's impossible for us to return to Feiyun Mountain immediately.

They need to see what kind of people those two are first.

Luo Zixi and Bai Jingyan were both skilled in jungle warfare. After increasing their speed, they made less noise and quietly crept up behind the people in front of them.

Bai Jingyan was initially worried that Luo Zixi wouldn't be able to handle such a high-intensity run, but he found that Luo Zixi was breathing steadily, her face wasn't red and she wasn't out of breath, and she wasn't affected at all!

Bai Jingyan suddenly felt that what Luo Zixi had said before made even more sense.

Is it possible that she doesn't need a husband at all?

Thinking of this, Bai Jingyan felt a sharp lump in his throat.
