Although she had only been with Qin Fang for a short few days, the feelings rooted deep in her heart were indeed even more profound than those of Qin Fang's other women.

"No! He's not dead! He's definitely not dead!"

After a brief bout of sorrow, Chu Yunxuan wiped away her tears and forced a smile on her face that was not very pleasant to look at, as she said with great determination to Li Yang.

"Yunxuan, grieve with restraint…"

Li Yang and the others were quite helpless about it, too. They all hoped that Qin Fang was still alive, but the reality… It was within their expectations that Chu Yunxuan would say this. It was just that she hadn't been able to accept such a cruel truth in a short time, so that's why she said it.

It's just…

They didn't know that Chu Yunxuan and Qin Fang had practiced Joyous Zen together, and there was an extremely special connection between them. The moment Qin Fang fell off the cliff, Chu Yunxuan's mind had been shocked, and she had almost caused a medical accident with the scalpel in hand.

But such a feeling only lasted for an instant before it disappeared, and she quickly returned to normal. That feeling had never appeared on her again.

Now, hearing the news of Qin Fang's death from Li Yang, her first reaction was fear, sorrow, despair, but then, after thinking it over, she suddenly felt that Qin Fang definitely wasn't dead…

It wasn't just Chu Yunxuan who, upon learning of Qin Fang's death, still believed he wasn't dead— another was Xiao Muxue, another one of Qin Fang's women.

"Feifei, don't be sad! Qin Fang mustn't be dead…"

Xiao Muxue had gotten the news of Qin Fang's death from Tang Feifei. At that moment, she was indeed terrified, but in less than a minute, a radiant smile suddenly appeared on her desolate face, even though the tears in her eyes had not yet been wiped away.

"Muxue, you don't need to comfort me…"

Tang Feifei shook her head. She was Qin Fang's official girlfriend, but she had very good relationships with Xiao Muxue and Wen Yan, now being the recognized 'big sister' among the women, even though Wen Yan was a year older than her.

All the women were very sad when they got the news of Qin Fang's death, weeping uncontrollably. Even with Xiao Muxue's assured consolation, Tang Feifei took it merely as Xiao Muxue comforting her.

"Feifei, I'm not just comforting you! Qin Fang really isn't dead… I have a premonition, he will appear soon!"

But Xiao Muxue did not change her mind because of Tang Feifei's words; in fact, she became even more convinced about Qin Fang not being dead.

With both hands outstretched, she steadied the devastated Tang Feifei's shoulders, indicating with absolute certainty. She even felt that Qin Fang was about to reappear.

"He… he's really not dead?"

With tear streaks still on her face, Tang Feifei looked incredulously at Xiao Muxue in front of her, murmuring, actually also hoping more than anything that Qin Fang was unharmed.

...

"When are we ever going to get out of these mountains…"

Gazing at the towering Qing Mountain before him, apart from various trees, there was only the azure sky above to see. As for a way out… so far, there was still no sign of one.

The expert, Qin Shou, seemed relatively calm, having lost his memory, he just quietly followed Qin Fang, asking no questions, saying nothing. Whenever danger arose, the two of them shouldered it together, and he seemed very silent at other times.

Qin Fang had wanted to talk to him several times, it was just unfortunate that the missing memories meant he could not think of anything at all, and he looked completely bewildered in response to Qin Fang's remarks.

In the end, Qin Fang had no choice but to abandon such attempts, and the relationship between the two continued in this very odd form.

After several days of being together, the two had become more in tune with each other, and Qin Shouxiong had become even more dependent on Qin Fang. Perhaps his survival instinct was still present, but the loss of his memory made him extraordinarily unfamiliar with this world, and now Qin Fang seemed like his only kin.

Besides Qin Fang, he maintained absolute vigilance towards anyone else.

Qin Fang pondered that even if Qin Shouxiong were to encounter a previously close friend, he would probably not recognize them at all, and might even treat them as an enemy to be wary of.

Qin Fang felt very strange about this.

Although he seemed to have become a nanny, having such a "child" with strength even greater than his own, who possessed absolute trust in him, was also an unexpected joy.

"Tsk, tsk, I wonder who is stronger between Qin Shouxiong and that woman Ye Huan..."

Qin Fang still held some lingering doubts about Ye Huan's strength; excluding the possibility of using firearms, even if he played all his cards, he was still not a match for Ye Huan.

Admittedly, Qin Fang had a bit of male chauvinism, but this beautiful woman bearing the name of his partner was not someone he could lay hands on, which would make anyone uncomfortable!

As for Ye Huan's claim that her skills were incomplete and she could not break her body for that reason, Qin Fang took it as her fooling him, something he never really believed from the start.

Now, with Qin Shouxiong's absolute trust, he was like Qin Fang's personal bodyguard. Although not a beautiful woman, he was someone Qin Fang could utterly rely on—at least until his memories returned.

"Sigh, still no signal, let's keep moving..."

Qin Fang took out his phone to check the still-empty signal bars, his face filled with helplessness, and tossed the phone back into the Props Box.

Leaving the phone outside, unless it's turned off, it would definitely consume the limited battery. The biggest problem with fruit-branded phones is their rapid battery consumption.

But it was different inside the Props Box, where time seemed to stand still, and whatever was put inside would come out exactly the same.

If it weren't for this, all of Qin Fang's buns would have gone bad by now, and they wouldn't have hot steamy buns to enjoy in such wild and deserted mountains.

This was also because Qin Fang's companion was the amnesiac Qin Shouxiong. If it were someone else, they would certainly find it very strange how Qin Fang could always produce hot steamy buns out of thin air.

Qin Shouxiong, however, found nothing odd about it. In his perception, such a question didn't exist; instead, it was taken for granted, and his worldview could be said to be entirely sculpted by Qin Fang, which saved Qin Fang the trouble of having to explain.

Otherwise, Qin Fang would have had to resort to killing the person and destroying the evidence to protect himself... although he truly couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.

This phone was Qin Fang's only tool for contacting the outside world, so he had to ensure its usability, and saving its power was a priority, making storing it in the Props Box the best choice.

Even though doing this meant the phone couldn't receive signals from the outside world, Qin Fang wouldn't be notified immediately if he could make contact with the outside world.

But that didn't matter much. At least up until now, he was very safe, and he had a powerful enforcer, Qin Shouxiong, by his side. In such big mountains, they were basically in no danger.

Even if the formidable Golden Crested Snake that Qin Fang had previously encountered appeared before them, it would not be Qin Fang who was being hunted, but that Golden Crested Snake.

With his Great Strength Eagle Claw Technique and strength almost equivalent to Level 5 Peak, Qin Shouxiong was on par with the Golden Crested Snake. Even at a disadvantage in size, with Qin Fang's help and the protection of the Detoxification Pill, they would definitely be the victors!

On this day, the fifth day of Qin Fang and Qin Shouxiong's trek through the mountains, which was also the day all Qin Fang's friends received news of his death, they climbed to the top of a nearly thousand-meter-high mountain blocking their path. Looking towards the north side of the great mountain, Qin Fang's face suddenly filled with excitement...(To be continued.
