Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Although the Hilichurls' rock shields looked very casual, some were broken, and they even dug up rock slimes from the ground on the spot to turn them into shields.

But the effect was indeed very good; it withstood two blows from Jiang Bai before shattering.

The two were like demons; in no time, all the Hilichurls who had surrounded them fell to the ground.

Looking at the crowd of Hilichurls on the ground, Hu Tao put his hands on his hips, looking smug.

"I won!"

Jiang Bai pouted, making excuses for himself, "I just got a new weapon, and I'm not very good at using it yet, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have lost..."

Perhaps influenced by the Hilichurls in the snowy mountains, Jiang Bai always subconsciously held back a bit of his strength when facing these Hilichurls; otherwise, even the thickest shield would be useless, and it would have been over long ago.

Hu Tao's eyes were mocking. "I understand, I understand."

"After finishing my pre-meal workout, I'll deal with these Hilichurls, and then we'll eat!"

The dead Hilichurls were cremated on the spot, while those who fainted were thrown a little further away to prevent them from waking up and coming back.

After all that work, Jiang Bai felt even more tired than when fighting Hilichurls.

If he hadn't cleverly made a wheelbarrow out of rock element, who knows how long it would have taken to tow these Hilichurls.

After dinner, feeling sleepy, Hu Tao yawned widely and poked at the fire, saying:

"You go to sleep first, I'll keep watch. So many Hilichurls just arrived, there's probably a large Hilichurl tribe around here, it's not very safe."

"Row."

Jiang Bai did not refuse.

I didn't sleep at all last night, and I'm really sleepy now.

He lay down in the formed coffin and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the bedding.

Hu Tao sat in front of the fire, yawning boredly. After a while, feeling bored, he took out paper and pen and began to write "Snow Country Chronicles" on the table.

She's going to write her first book, and I'm quite excited about it.

Let her think about what to write in the first sentence...

Got it!

"This story is based on a true story..."

Adding such a sentence can enhance the authenticity of the story and increase the audience's trust.

She, Hu Tao, is indeed a genius!

That night, thoughts flowed freely, and I wrote seven or eight pages in a row. Before I knew it, the moon was high in the sky.

She glanced at the time, yawned, put away the manuscript, and prepared to wake Jiang Bai up to go to sleep.

Lifting the lid of Jiang Bai's coffin, the person inside was fast asleep.

Seeing Jiang Bai sleeping so soundly, Hu Tao couldn't help but click her tongue a few times.

"Sleeping so soundly in the wild, I wonder if you're just carefree, or if I, the head of this hall, make you feel too safe here..."

A sly smile crept across her lips, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

The little ghost emerged from her body, its two tiny paws dangling, and chuckled.

The man and his soul exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without a word.

With her hair down, Hu Tao held a glowing stone to her chin and shone it on her face, then stuck out her tongue and made a fierce expression.

After the preparations were complete, she bent over and her long hair fell down, some of it reaching into the coffin.

If one were to open their eyes from inside the coffin at this moment, Hu Tao's current appearance would be exactly that of a hideous female ghost, enough to scare a person half to death.

"Awoo~" The little ghost imitated a sharp wolf howl.

Walnut's cold claws touched Jiang Bai's face, while she murmured something eerily.

"Give me your life...give me your life..."

Jiang Bai suddenly woke up with a start. When he opened his eyes, he was so frightened by the female ghost in front of him that he trembled.

His hands moved faster than his brain; in a moment of reflex, he struck directly at the demon in front of him.

Of course, Hu Tao wouldn't just sit there and take the beating.

Since she had already anticipated Jiang Bai's possible reaction after taking such a frightening action, she had already anticipated it.

She quickly interrupted Jiang Bai's punch with her elbow, grabbed his wrists with both hands for leverage, then leaned back and jumped away from the coffin to create distance.

Startled for a moment, Jiang Bai then realized what was going on.

He sat up from the coffin, calmed his wildly beating heart, and looked at Hu Tao with resentment.

Hu Tao brushed back the hair that had fallen in front of her eyes and was blocking her vision, laughing triumphantly, "Hahahaha! You were scared, weren't you!"

Jiang Bai's gaze was resentful. "Master, I was sleeping so soundly just now..."

Walnut's smile faded, and her gaze drifted away.

"Well... I just woke you up to keep watch because I was worried you wouldn't be able to get up, so I thought I'd give you a little shock. See, you're wide awake now..."

What could Jiang Bai say?

The world is vast, but the hall master is the greatest!

After being startled by Hu Tao, he was indeed wide awake.

He looked up at the moon in the sky and got a sense of the time.

"Master, go to sleep. It's very late now. If you don't sleep now, you won't have any energy tomorrow..."

Seeing Jiang Bai's calm reaction, without any outburst of anger, Hu Tao actually felt a tiny bit guilty.

"You're not angry, are you?"

Chapter 150 Do you like being bullied?

Jiang Bai originally wanted to say no.

Seeing Hu Tao's appearance, he rolled his eyes and changed the subject he was about to say.

"Why would I be angry with the Hall Master? It's an honor for me to be intimidated by him! The fact that he's willing to intimidate me shows that he cares about me. How could I be angry when he cares about me so much?"

Hearing Jiang Bai's flattering words, Hu Tao stared in shock.

I couldn't resist rubbing the goosebumps on my hands.

Why does she feel like Jiang Bai is... a bit abnormal?

After hesitating for a moment, she tentatively asked, "...Do you have a bit of a masochistic tendency? Do you like being bullied?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai's forehead was covered in black lines.

He couldn't hold back any longer, so he picked up a soft pillow and threw it at her forehead. He angrily climbed out of the coffin, turning his head away, not wanting to talk to her.

Walnut was hit by a pillow and blinked blankly.

Seeing Jiang Bai's angry expression, she pouted and muttered to herself.

'I just said I wouldn't be angry with her! And then she asked me a question and I got angry, you jerk…'

She puffed out her cheeks and crawled into the tent to sleep, out of sight, out of mind.

Jiang Bai sat in front of the fire, poking at the firewood, and hummed softly as he looked at the shadows inside the tent.

He didn't know why he was suddenly so angry.

I'm just very unhappy.

What does it mean to say whether he likes being bullied?

"Who likes being bullied! Honestly..."

……

At this moment, the snow-capped mountains.

Diluc, who had entered the snowy mountains, was resting in a cave, with a glossy-feathered owl perched on his shoulder, warming himself by the fire.

The snowstorm in the mountains had stopped, and the mountaintops in the distance could be clearly seen by the moonlight.

The owl on his shoulder preened its feathers as Diluc fed it some food.

Then, with a shrug, the owl flapped its wings and flew towards the mountaintop.

In the eyes of humans, the summit of a snow-capped mountain is very high, so high that it is difficult to climb.

But in the eyes of birds, it is not that high.

With just a flap of their wings, they can look down from the sky at this mountaintop that no one had ever set foot on before.

The owl circled high in the sky, its dark eyes fixed on the firelight at the mountaintop camp.

It gradually descended and landed on a dead tree not far from the camp.

It was late at night, and only the campfire was burning quietly in the camp.

After watching for a while, it flapped its wings and flew back to its owner.

Diluc stretched out his arm, and the night owl landed skillfully on it, letting out a cry that was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Diluc pondered, "So there really are people up there..."

……

The canyon was quiet overnight.

Apart from the Hilichurls who were initially drawn by the two's loud singing, there was no other activity that night.

Walnut yawned as she came out of the tent and stretched lazily.

"I slept so well..."

She was about to greet Jiang Bai when she saw him leaning back in his chair with his head drooping, having fallen asleep sometime earlier.

Feeling playful, she tiptoed up to Jiang Bai, rested her chin on her hand, and watched him sleep.

I have to say, this guy looks quite good when he's asleep and not moving, completely different from when he's awake.

Hu Tao reached out and poked his face; it felt warm and smooth to the touch, and had a strong elasticity.

This sleeping method is different from sleeping in a tent, so Jiang Bai's sleep is very light. He woke up as soon as Hu Tao's hand touched his face.

He suddenly opened his eyes and met Hu Tao's gaze.

Hu Tao wasn't embarrassed at all and greeted him generously.

Good morning!

"Humph!"

Jiang Bai snorted and turned his head away, ignoring her.

Seeing that Jiang Bai was still angry, Hu Tao held his cheeks with both hands and forcibly turned his face around.

"Oh dear, why are you still angry? I apologize, please don't be angry anymore..."

Hu Tao rubbed his cheeks with her palms, trying to make him smile.

Actually, Jiang Bai wasn't angry anymore; he just wanted to see her reaction.

Seeing Hu Tao apologizing so sincerely, he could no longer pretend and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"That's right, just smile, a smile will make you feel better..."

"Let me go... Master..."

With Hu Tao controlling his cheeks, Jiang Bai's speech was slightly slurred.

Hu Tao was happily kneading it and didn't want to let go.

Seeing that she wouldn't let go, Jiang Bai simply copied her actions and started a mutual attack.

"let go!"

"You, let go first..."

"You go first..."
