Chapter 8, I will leave after compensating me

Only then did she see that the object rolled out several zhang and finally stopped in front of Qin Mingyue. Qin Mingyue widened her eyes and looked, only to see that the object swayed unsteadily and stood up, and it was only then that she clearly saw it was a person

Hey! Am I right? It seems you were in a daze! Qin Mingyue felt the man's grip loosen slightly and quickly withdrew her arm. It seems this guy had climbed up this tree to sleep and was unfortunately knocked down by her.

"Tree spirit?" The man seemed unaware of what Qin Mingyue was saying, only showing a moment of confusion. Looking at Qin Mingyue's dazed expression, his brows furrowed, and a hint of disgust flashed in his phoenix-like eyes. He reached out and firmly grasped her arm, coldly asking, "Who exactly are you? Why are you sneaking around here at night?"

Qin Mingyue gazed dreamily at the man before her, his features seemingly sculpted. What is meant by "jade-like skin"? What does "snowy complexion and floral beauty" signify? Heaven! Qin Mingyue's heart raced like a fawn, staring foolishly at the man's frowning face, she stammered, "Are you really a tree spirit?"

With a loud bang, a tree that could be embraced by several people broke with a sound. Qin Mingyue, still not feeling satisfied, looked at the place where the tree had fallen and struck twice with her palms. The force of her strikes was swift, and in the blink of an eye, a large tree was shattered before her.

It is indeed time to leave and go home! I did not check the almanac before heading out today, so it is safer to go home and take a nap. I will not be going to the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion after all. Although this fellow is an unparalleled handsome man, I cannot commend his hobby of sleeping in trees; who knows what other quirks he might have! It is better for me to keep my distance.

What a waste of resources! What a waste of resources! Her palm was filled with pent-up anger, likely exceeding 100% of her strength. Heaven! Qin Mingyue felt a twinge of guilt; with so many trees around, why did she have to stop under this particular tree? And she had unleashed her full strength.

Why? Why can't he leave? Isn't he fine? Qin Mingyue looked at the man in confusion, surprised by his swift actions, realizing that he must be a skilled fighter. She felt a twinge of disdain for her own delayed understanding; if he weren't skilled, how could he have escaped from her full-force strike?

"You ... ..." Qin Mingyue looked at him, heavens! Could it be that trouble has arisen again? But how could she have split a tree and produced a person? Could it be a tree spirit? Did he jump out because she destroyed his tree?

That is good! That is good! Qin Mingyue patted her chest, feeling a sense of relief as her heart settled down; she finally did not waste a precious opportunity

Late at night? A sneak attack? Qin Mingyue felt a sharp pain in her arm, quickly regaining her senses. She saw the man looking at her with a face full of anger, his entire being exuding a chilling aura, completely different from the dazed state he had been in just moments before

What nonsense is this about midnight? Just look at the sky! It has only just gotten dark, alright? Qin Mingyue rolled her eyes, now certain that this guy was indeed a person, but he seemed to be a bit dimwitted.

Qin Mingyue widened her eyes to look at the person in front of her, who was holding their head with both hands, swaying unsteadily as they stood up. After standing for a while, they still could not maintain their balance and kept falling back down repeatedly

"Who?" Qin Mingyue was taken aback, quickly retracting her hand gesture. Her eyes widened as she stared at the object rolling towards her, and she hurriedly retreated several zhang, preparing a defensive stance

Do not turn him into a fool! Qin Mingyue withdrew her arm, gently rubbing it, and looked worriedly at the man in front of her who was deep in thought and silent. Such a beautiful person would be a pity if he became a fool

"Who are you?" A man's voice, tinged with a hint of pain and hoarseness, emerged as he steadied himself with Qin Mingyue's assistance. He vigorously shook his head, pushed aside his disheveled hair, and looked up at Qin Mingyue in front of him

Damn it! Wait until I find out who you are! Just watch me skin you alive! Qin Mingyue fiercely struck a tree in front of her with a palm, the force of her strike fully harnessing ten parts of her strength, and the anger in her heart finally found an outlet.

The passerby man was taken aback, looking at Qin Mingyue with confusion. How could a passerby, who was simply walking, attack the large tree he was lying under? It must be someone sent to ambush him. A cold expression surged in his handsome eyes: "Then why are you here at this late hour?"

Upon thinking of this, Qin Mingyue felt somewhat dispirited and turned to leave

Just thinking about it makes me feel like crying, my whole body has been touched by someone, and I don't even know that guy's name. I really want to just bang my head against the wall and end it all. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I have no interest in going to the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion anymore. Qin Mingyue suddenly stopped and came to a halt.

As it just turned dark, the man was taken aback, looking up at the sky with a startled expression. It seemed that it had just become dark. He rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again, but the sky had not changed. His brows furrowed slightly, and he placed his jade-like hand on his forehead, appearing quite distressed, as if deep in thought.

No worries! After a moment of silence, the man finally raised his head, glanced at Qin Mingyue, who was looking at him with concern, and shook his head

Qin Mingyue was taken aback, looking at the person in front of her. She could only discern that he was a man, but his features were obscured, as he was covered in wood shavings shattered by her palm wind.

"I am not trying to hit you; I am aiming at that tree. Who knew you were up there?" Qin Mingyue recalled this with some frustration, then waved her hand and said, "Since you are fine, I will take my leave now"

Ah... a thunderous shout suddenly erupted from the place where the tree had fallen, and a ball of fiery red object rolled out.

"Why are you hitting me?" The man seemed to realize that Qin Mingyue did not intend to harm him, looking at her with confusion. Seeing her slender and petite figure, he appeared somewhat doubtful that the force of the earlier strike had come from her.

You cannot leave!" The man, seeing Qin Mingyue turn around, suddenly had a flash in his handsome eyes and swiftly reached out to grab Qin Mingyue's wrist, stopping her from taking another step away.

I... only then did Qin Mingyue clearly see the man's face. Heaven! What a face this is, it puts Xizi to shame and makes Wang Qiang feel unworthy. The Yaochi is unparalleled, and the Purple Palace has no equal. How would Cao Xueqin, who wrote "Dream of the Red Chamber," describe this man if he were to see him? ... Simply ... it is simply beautiful to the extreme, beyond the ability of words to describe.

Are you alright?" Qin Mingyue looked at the man, who showed no signs of waking up, her heart sinking little by little. She cautiously took two steps forward and said softly.

"Are you alright?" Qin Mingyue looked at the swaying figure and quickly approached with concern, reaching out to support the person in front of her. With her exceptional skills, she was not afraid even if the person was a tree spirit.

"You have ruined my perfectly good bed, and you must compensate me before you leave," the man said, pointing at the large tree that had been shattered into fragments by Qin Mingyue's palm wind. He spoke with a serious expression, observing Qin Mingyue's stunned face.

Qin Mingyue felt extremely frustrated! It was truly pent up with nowhere to vent, damn it! Having been in this world for five years, aside from being mistreated a few times by that unscrupulous old master, she had never suffered such a loss. Today, she had suffered a tremendous setback.

"What is your true intention?" The man, seeing that Qin Mingyue did not respond, increased the force of his grip even more, his voice colder than before as he questioned. It seemed that as long as Qin Mingyue gave an incorrect answer, she would face a fate worse than death.

Ah! Let go of me first, what are you trying to do? I am just passing by..." Qin Mingyue felt a sharp pain in her arm and quickly said

What a sin! Qin Mingyue looked at the man with hopeful eyes, truly wishing to kneel down immediately and burn incense, praying to the Buddha, Guanyin, God, Jesus, Shakyamuni, and all the great deities and Buddhas in heaven, to bless this beautiful person and ensure he does not become foolish.
