Chapter 25: Advancing on Tiger Wolf Ridge

  Saturday, 6:30 am, in front of the gate of Luanjiang College, fully equipped and set off with a smile.

  At the entrance of Lianjiang College, three luxury cars were parked in a row. They were Liu Jiawei's Ferrari Enzo, Li Jinyi's Porsche Carrera GT and Xiao Yu's Bentley Azure Ultimate Series. Each car was priced between $380,000 and $650,000. Liu Fang, Zi Qing and Mu Linfeng got into Liu Jiawei's Ferrari, while Lu Xuan, Huang Ying and Xia Tian got into Li Jinyi's Porsche. Of course, Hai Ou also got into Xiao Yu's Bentley. Turning back to see Liu Ya standing there with a puzzled face, she smiled. Actually, both Liu Jiawei and Li Jinyi were eager for Liu Ya to get into their cars because with her around, the ride would definitely not be boring. However, Hai Ou directly waved at Liu Ya, "Little princess, over here." Liu Ya smiled faintly, feeling helpless. These guys were really shallow, but Hai Ou was relatively kinder. So she got into Xiao Yu's car and sat in the back seat.

  "Huh, Boss Qiao, what's this smell in your car?" Liu Ya asked as soon as she got in the car, sniffing the air and wrinkling her brow. "The smell is quite strong."

  "Qiao Bangzhu?" Seagull looked at Xiao Yu in confusion, "How did he become 'Qiao Bangzhu'?"

  "Hey, do you know?" Liu Ya, who was searching for the source of the smell in the back row, replied to Haiyue's question without forgetting, "Since Xiao Yu agreed to carry me up and down the mountain when I couldn't walk, his image in my mind is as majestic as the Xiao Feng Bangzhong in Jin Yong's 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'."

  "Huh? When did I agree to that?" Xiao Yu heard Liu Ya say this and was amused by her, filled with happiness.

  "It's not too late for you to agree now, is it?" Liu Ya placed her hands on the back of the two chairs in the front row, sniffed the air lightly and asked Xiao Yu, "Are you going to agree or not?"

  "No problem!" Xiao Yu smiled casually, glanced at Liu Ya sideways, "If you really can't walk, I can give you a 'dog-beating stick', you can lean on it, and Haiyan and I will carry you."

  "Haha......" The seagull couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Boss, you're from the Beggar Clan!" Liu Ya glared at Xiao Yu and sat back in her seat. Because she discovered that the smell was lighter in the front seats than in the back, so it could be confirmed that the thing emitting the foul odor was definitely in the back. So, Liu Ya made up her mind to turn the car upside down and dig out the thing. As Xiao Yu drove, he couldn't bear to watch his beloved car being destroyed, so he couldn't help but speak up.

  "Princess, please spare me, stop searching, my wife is almost exposed by you!" Xiao Yu couldn't bear to look at the back seat's cushion and decorations anymore, and said with a headache and helplessness: "What you're looking for is in the trunk!"

  "Wow! How can you put such a smelly thing in the car?" Liu Ya shouted in horror.

  "Does it stink? I don't think so!" Xiao Yu turned to ask Hai Ou, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Dear, what do you think of this smell?"

  "Hehe." The seagull chuckled lightly and said, "I like to eat durians, so I don't mind this smell."

  "I'm going to pass out!" Liu Ya exclaimed in terror, gently patting Xiao Yu's shoulder and pleading, "Master, please get rid of that thing? Or I'll be suffocated!"

  "Just bear with it, this is what Jia Wei and them brought, if we lose it, they'll kill us when we get back." Xiao Yu was just joking around, wanting to tease Liu Ya a bit. Liu Ya saw that Xiao Yu wasn't willing to throw away the durian, so she could only endure the 'fragrance' of the durian with pain.

  "Niao Ren, Bang Zhu, how much do you know about 'Hu Lang Ya'?" Liu Ya changed the subject and started a conversation with Hai Yao.

  "I learned something online and I'd like to share it with you." Seagull turned his head, looking at Liu Ya who was rubbing her temples, and asked concernedly, "Are you okay?"

  "It's okay, you can continue." Liu Ya closed her eyes, rubbing her temples and silently lamenting in her heart: "Woo woo woo, it seems like... I'm going to get carsick!"

  "Hulu Cliff" is the only primitive forest in Lushan City, located more than 40 kilometers away from the city center. It borders Panlong City to the east, Huangshan City to the west, Chenxi City to the north, and Dongli City to the south, with a total area of 13,472.4 hectares. The main peak of "Hulu Cliff" is surrounded by four slopes, forming a layered and stepped landscape that descends gradually, with the highest elevation being 1,856 meters and the lowest being 650 meters, resulting in a relative height difference of 1,206 meters, which is quite significant. The climate and vegetation show obvious vertical changes.

  The terrain within the area is complex, belonging to the middle and low mountain landscape. The mountains are continuous, with deep river valleys and well-developed canyons. "Hulu Cliff" is located at the intersection of the Central Asian tropical and South Asian tropical regions, exhibiting transitional characteristics in terms of climate, soil, vegetation, animals, and plants between these two regions. It belongs to a marine monsoon climate zone, with a mild and moderate climate, distinct seasons, large vertical changes, and prominent microclimates.

  According to data from the Lushan Meteorological Station, the average annual temperature within the protected area is 15.6°C, with an average temperature of 6.5°C in the coldest month (January) and 23°C in the hottest month (July). The extreme high temperature is , and the extreme low temperature is -. The average annual sunshine hours are 1,, with a frost-free period of 260 days. The average annual rainfall is between 1,700-2,000 mm, with an average of 220 foggy days per year, reaching up to 260 days in some years, second only to Mount Emei in Sichuan Province. The average relative humidity within the area is above 80%, and the wind speed is relatively high, with gusts above level 8 occurring on 203 days, second only to Tianchi Lake in Jilin Province.

  Seagull held a tablet computer in her hand, reading out the data she had searched online to Liu Ya without missing a single word.

  "It was originally a high-altitude, harsh climate primitive forest. Who knows, there might even be monsters!" Liu Ya muttered softly with her eyes closed, "Why do so many people still go on adventures?"

  "Little princess, you've watched too much Ultraman, and now you're a monster!" Xiao Yu was teased by Liu Ya once again.

  "Haha, there's another legend about 'Tiger Wolf Cliff'." Seagull smiled and tapped on the computer interface. "Legend has it that a long time ago, a heavenly tiger descended to rule over all beasts. After hundreds of years of settling down, the beasts lived in harmony with each other. Later, he fell in love with a wolf named Mei. They would stand on the mountain top every day to watch the sunrise and sunset, living a beautiful and leisurely life. One day, the heavenly court announced that it was going to elect the twelve zodiac animals, and the heavenly tiger and Mei discussed returning to the heavenly court to participate in the election. However, Mei was unwilling for the heavenly tiger to leave. So, the heavenly tiger could only sneak back to the heavenly court while Mei was asleep. Mei missed the heavenly tiger day and night, standing every day at the place where they used to watch the sunrise and sunset together, looking up at the sky and calling out to the heavenly tiger, hoping that he would appear. Days went by, until later Mei left the world with regret, but the heavenly tiger never appeared again. This mountain with a legendary love story was called 'Tiger Wolf Mountain' by people, and the cliff where they watched the sunrise and sunset was called 'Tiger Wolf Cliff.' However, later on, people named the entire mountain 'Tiger Wolf Cliff' to commemorate Mei."

  "Why do all love stories end in tragedy?" Liu Ya still had her eyes closed, gently tapping her forehead with her hand. "In the future, let someone continue writing that after dying and ascending to heaven, she became a goddess, then she can be with Tian Hu together!"

  "Hehe, love is never that perfect." Seagull said skeptically.

  "Hmm..." Liu Ya let out a soft moan, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she covered her mouth with her hand. In her heart, she thought, "It's no good, it's no good, I'm really going to throw up!"

  "What's wrong, little princess? Infected with a beautiful love?" Xiao Yu glanced at Liu Ya through the rearview mirror.

  "Dye your head!" Liu Ya anxiously shouted, "Stop the car! Stop the car! Stop quickly!"

  "What's going on!?" Xiao Yu looked at Liu Ya, who was anxious, and a hint of panic flashed in his heart. He explained seriously, "Dear, this is the highway, you can't just stop the car!"

  "Stop the car! Stop the car!" Liu Ya felt a surge of sadness and couldn't help but shout, "Xiao Yu, stop the car! If you don't stop the car, I'll vomit on it!"

  "Ah!?" Xiao Yu heard Liu Ya say she was going to throw up in the car and realized the severity of the situation, "My god! Wait a minute, I'll change lanes right away and pull over to the emergency lane." Liu Jia Wei and Li Jin, who were following closely behind, saw Xiao Yu's car turn on its hazard lights and change lanes, pulling over to the emergency lane, thinking something was wrong, also quickly changed lanes and pulled over. As soon as Xiao Yu's car came to a stop, Liu Ya hastily opened the door and jumped out, letting out a loud "wow" as she threw up.

  "What's wrong? What's wrong?" "What happened, what happened?" The crowd jumped down from the car one after another. For a moment, some people handed over water, others handed over paper towels, and Liu Fang gently patted Liu Ya on the back. Liu Ya took a deep breath and deeply inhaled the fresh air outside the car.

  "Unbelievable! Little princess!" Zi Qing seemed to have discovered a new continent, scanning Liu Ya Hong's body up and down, "Bentley, even if it's converted to RMB, it's worth over 20 million, how could you get carsick?"

  "I didn't say that Boss Qiao's car is bad!" Liu Ya heard Zi Qing say this, and with a belly full of grievances, said sorrowfully and pitifully, "Lei Zhengzi, do you know? Boss Qiao bullied me!"

  "Ah!?" The boys glared at Xiao Yu in anger, while the girls stared at him in shock. "Xiao Yu! What have you done now?!"

  "Xiao Yu, how can you bully the little princess? How can you bully the little princess!" Zi Qing angrily questioned Xiao Yu.

  "I, I, I didn't do anything!" Looking at the angry gazes of the crowd, Xiao Yu looked at Liu Ya in horror, his mouth twitching uncontrollably. How could this girl talk nonsense like that? How could she talk nonsense like that? Didn't I not do anything?! "Hai Ou can be my witness!"

  "Xiao Yu, apart from driving, he really didn't do anything else." Seagull was calm and suddenly remembered Liu Ya's sensitivity to the smell of durian, and smiled, "Maybe, Little Princess is referring to a problem with the car, not Xiao Yu himself?"

  "What's wrong with the car?" Everyone looked at Xiao Yu in confusion, and at this moment, Xiao Yu was furious with Jia Wei for making him bring durians. He reluctantly showed his black face to everyone. The crowd turned to Liu Ya, who still looked pitiful and aggrieved, nodding her head and gesturing as she spoke, "Boss Qiao put such a big durian in the car! Waaah, it's almost suffocating me to death! Waaaah..."

  "Ah! So that's how it is!" The crowd had black lines all over their faces, and sweat poured down like a torrent. Later on, no matter how hard Liu Ya begged, Liu Jia Wei and the others refused to throw away the durian. In the end, they could only swap cars with Mu Lin Feng and Liu Ya. Liu Ya was in Jia Wei's car, leaning against Zi Qing's shoulder, fast asleep. She knew that now she had to conserve her energy, as mountain climbing was a physically demanding activity.
