<h4>Chapter 1187: Chapter 1187: Frogs Live on Land</h4>


    Xiang Yu adjusted his breathing and was ready for any sudden events. He pressed his ear to the ground to discern the number of people approaching.


    There were three people in total. One of them had a light step, likely a woman. Sure enough, three minutester, three figures appeared ahead, walking cautiously.


    When Xiang Yu saw the woman, he paused for a moment. She had a great figure and was very pretty—Wang Qian from Wolf Fang.


    "She’s here too?" Xiang Yu mused to himself.


    No wonder she hadn’t contacted him these past days; she must have been reassigned here.


    Their coordinated actions, always mindful of their surroundings, showed they had undergone wilderness training.


    "Let’s go over there behind the rock and sit for a bit," one of them whispered.


    The three slowly moved behind the rock and sat down, unaware of Xiang Yu’s presence.


    Xiang Yu was well-hidden. If they didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t have noticed him.


    But Xiang Yu was lying right behind them, and just a slight movement backwards would reveal him.


    "Wang Qian," Xiang Yu suddenly whispered.


    The three seated people jumped up in fright and quickly stood. One even pulled out a handgun and pointed it behind.


    "Who?" Wang Qian said nervously, unable to identify Xiang Yu’s voice.


    Xiang Yu awkwardly smiled and then sat up.


    When Xiang Yu rose, they realized there had been someone lying there all along. If Xiang Yu hadunched a sneak attack from behind, they would have had no chance to fight back.


    Thinking about it made the three break out in a cold sweat. Despite their caution, they had been careless.


    "Who are you, and what are you doing hiding here?" the one with the gun demanded, ring at Xiang Yu.


    "Don’t be nervous, I know him," Wang Qian said with an unabashed smile when she saw it was Xiang Yu.


    She had been assigned here a few days and hadn’t seen Xiang Yu. Running into him here naturally made her happy.


    "Let me introduce them; this is my superior, like Hou Zhantian, named Wu Qilong, and he’s..." Wang Qian began to introduce herpanions, then pointed to Xiang Yu, saying, "He’s..."


    Before she could finish, Wu Qilong waved a hand, interrupting, "No need to say more, I’m not interested in him."


    Wu Qilong felt a surge of anger when he saw the way Wang Qian looked at Xiang Yu. He had liked Wang Qian for a long time, but she never agreed. Now, seeing Wang Qian’s gaze, he knew she fancied this kid in front of him.


    Wang Qian felt somewhat awkward but still said, "He’s Xiang Yu."


    Wang Qian had nned to give Xiang Yu an introduction, knowing he was now the Sect Leader of the Hong Sect.


    Although Wolf Fang held high international status, Xiang Yu’s identity was no lower than theirs.


    Yet to Wu Qilong, Xiang Yu being here alone didn’t seem to be anyone famous.


    When Wang Qian mentioned it was Xiang Yu, Wu Qilong found the name familiar but didn’t think much of it.


    "Why are you here?" Wu Qilong asked, looking unfriendly towards Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu disliked his attitude, ignored him, and instead smiled at Wang Qian, "You’ve been reassigned here?"


    Wang Qian looked at Wu Qilong before nodding, "Captain Hou came over to investigate, and he went missing here, so we came to investigate."


    "I’m asking you a question!" Wu Qilong, annoyed that Xiang Yu ignored him, said angrily.


    "What did you just say?" Xiang Yu asked Wu Qilong, feigning confusion.


    Wu Qilong snorted coldly, raising his gun to point at Xiang Yu again, "Why are you here? If you can’t give a reasonable exnation, don’t think of leaving today."


    Wang Qian looked tense and quickly said, "Captain Wu, he’s my friend, not an enemy."


    Xiang Yu donned a fearful look and pleaded, "Spare me, big brother. I’m just here to catch frogs to sell for a living. I have a wife and kids at home needing food."


    Wu Qilong didn’t expect Xiang Yu to act so cowardly, but something felt odd. He lowered his gun only to raise it again, "You’re lying. How could there be frogs here?"


    Xiang Yu quickly replied, "You don’t know, big brother. There are two kinds of frogs: one lives in water, and the other onnd. People usually see water ones but not many know thatnd ones exist in the mountains, rare and expensive as medicinal materials."


    Xiang Yu spoke intently, with a seriousness that left them speechless, surprised such things existed.


    Wu Qilong didn’t want to appear ignorant, snorting coldly, "I know, no need for your exnation."


    Both of Wang Qian’spanions looked at Wu Qilong in disbelief, thinking perhaps such frogs really did exist?


    Noticing Wang Qian’s doubt, Wu Qilong quickly added, "I saw them in the army. We even caught one."


    Xiang Yu had no words, amazed at Wu Qilong’s pretense.


    "Did you sell it for money?" Xiang Yu asked naively and innocently.


    Wu Qilong snorted, "You think everyone’s a pauper like you?"


    Unsure about those frogs, worried about being caught in a lie, Wu Qilong quickly said, "Leave, I don’t want to see you here."


    Wu Qilong and hispanion didn’t know Xiang Yu, but Wang Qian knew him well. Although Xiang Yu appeared naive, he was incredibly shrewd and wasn’t poor at all.


    She even doubted if Xiang Yu’s story about thend frogs was true.


    "Captain Wu, Captain Hou mentioned Xiang Yu before," Wang Qian reminded Wu Qilong to avoid further embarrassment.


    Wu Qilong paused, recalling what Hou Zhantian said prior.


    He said he met someone named Xiang Yu, an individual with unlimited potential unless something happened to him. He advised everyone not to provoke someone named Xiang Yu but to befriend him instead.


    Wu Qilong remembered those words, shocked to realize the seemingly foolish person in front of him was the Xiang Yu mentioned by Hou Zhantian.


    Wu Qilong looked at Wang Qian doubtfully, and she nodded seriously at him.


    "What’s going on, aren’t you trying topete with me for frogs here?" Xiang Yuined, "I should tell you, I’ve imed all the frogs on this mountain."


    Wu Qilong was seething with anger but understood now that Xiang Yu was putting on an act. Realizing the frog story was made up left Wu Qilong’s face burning with embarrassment.


    He had even imed to capture one before; now he felt thoroughly humiliated.


    "I heard your martial skills are excellent," Wu Qilong said, putting away his gun and rolling up his sleeves, ready to test himself against Xiang Yu...
