Zha Xi looked at him and his tone had conveyed his annoyance despite his limited proficiency in Mandarin, "I've said it earlier that everyone must listen to me once we've arrived at Hoh Xil. The original plan is to go east. If you guys do not want to continue on this journey anymore, feel free to turn around and leave. That's it. Going west is never part of the deal, so I won't accept it."

"You!" The commissioner intended to argue again.

The female hiker came forward and stood in front of him with the camera still hanging around her neck. "If it is because of your belief, you can just stay. Then, it won't go against the rules."

"No! To me, this is going against the rules." Zha Xi insisted.

The female hiker smiled as she shook her head. "That's why people are saying that Tibetans are so stubborn. But we are different, as long as we have enough oxygen supply, nothing can stop us from climbing up the snow mountain peak." As she was talking, she turned her head over. "Everyone get yourself prepared, follow me if you want to reach the top of the mountain. We have the device to navigate between north and south accurately. As for those who are not bold enough, you guys can just follow Zha Xi back. After all, it's understandable if no one is willing to stay and take the risk."

This hiking team was far too young. Subsequently, they would easily forget to listen to others' opinions when they encountered something they liked.

At Hoh Xil, a Tibetan was more than enough to beat 10 devices.

This was nature and only the locals would know where to go and where not to go.

Right now, Zha Xi had no one on his side and these people no longer listen to him anymore.

Nevertheless, he could not just leave them behind. The hound behind Zha Xi was running around wildly but it was reluctant to go to the west side of the snow mountain. The signs were so obvious.

On this land, animals tended to be more sensitive than humans.

The snowstorm was yet to cease. The higher it was, the colder it got, not to mention the intense alt.i.tude sickness.

A few of the hikers took turns for the oxygen supply as they walked.

Just like what they had said, they could go anyway easily with the device in hand.

However, it was more tiring to walk up the slope which was 6000 meters above sea level compared to walking on flatlands. It took them five hours to reach the snow mountain which they thought to be not far away.

When they reached their destination, the sun was already about to set.

It was a well-known fact to everyone living in Tibet that no one was supposed to wander around at night and they should go to places with people when it got dark. This was the rule.

Zha Xi stepped out again, trying to convince them to return to the team.

"There will be wolves at night and snow slides can happen anytime. These glaciers might melt as well. Do you guys get it?"


The commissioner held the camera in one hand and his eyes were concentrated on the beautiful scenery in front of him. "What a worldly paradise! How did I not discover such a breathtaking place earlier?"

Zha Xi clenched his fist. Why won't they listen to me? 

The female hiker was rather polite, but she sounded slightly ingenuine, "Zha Xi, you have the dog by your side and we have torches as well. Plus, I have gone through wilderness survival before. It's just some wolves and they are afraid of fire."

"That's because you have never seen a pack of wolves before!" Zha Xi blurted in the Tibetan language as his face turned red. "We must go back immediately!" 

The female hiker did not take it seriously though. She held the telescope and took a glimpse through the lenses. "Tent! There's really a tent over there!"

Her words made Zha Xi pause for a moment. As far as he knew, n.o.body would ever dare to camp in this area, even the locals themselves would never spend their night in such a deserted area. It was too dangerous.

After all, the wolves at Hoh Xil were fiercer and crueler than these people could imagine.

For a split second, Zha Xi thought of the master who had dragged a coffin into the darkness.

Could that be her tent?

Despite Zha Xi's attempt to stop them, the hiking team was already marching toward it.

It was then something strange happened. The hound that was following Zha Xi refused to step forward stubbornly as if it had sensed something horrible. It curled into a ball as it shivered.

"Look! What is that?" The female hiker was panting and her eyes were filled with amazement.

There were no wolves here so it was not even as dangerous as the tour guide claimed to be.

Instead, there was a man sitting next to the glacier cliff which was 3000 meters above the snowline. He had an extremely fit body and was wearing a cloak. Like a quiet yet strong snow leopard, the only visible part of him was his deep beautiful eyes. He was remarkably handsome as if he came out from a comic book.

"Are you local?" The female hiker guessed excitedly as she stepped forward and said in the Tibetan language, "Zha Xi De Le." 

As Baili Jia Jue was listening, he tilted his head and put on a charming smile. He spoke in a seductive tone that every devil was great at, "You smell good."

Stunned, the female hiker could not help but blush.

At this moment, she was totally unaware of Baili Jia Jue's underlying meaning of 'smelling good'. She thought that her perfume was working.

"You can speak Mandarin?" The female hiker smiled again. "That's amazing! Our tour guide was just telling us that this deserted area was very dangerous and tried to stop us from coming here. I don't see any danger here other than a handsome guy." 

With his head lowered down, Baili Jia Jue's blackening nails were subtly hidden under his cloak. The corner of his lips curled into an elegant curve as he licked it. "What a long-lost fragrance! People will easily fall for it."

The female hiker blushed even more. She noticed him holding a wine gla.s.s and asked curiously, "How can wine be this red? Wouldn't it freeze on the mountains?"

"This is not wine." Baili Jia Jue smiled, "It is blood, very fresh blood."

His voice was very deep. In fact, it was melodious.

However, everyone immediately fell silent as his voice echoed over the vast and boundless snow mountain.

It took the female hiker a while to react with an awkward smile. "Haha, you're so humorous."

"Humorous?" Baili Jia Jue lifted his head. His silver hair was swaying gently in the dark as he revealed his fangs, making him look somewhat malevolent.

The female hiker's expression changed drastically. Stiffly, she took a step back and planned to escape!

Nonetheless, it was too late!

There was a glint of mockery in Baili Jia Jue's eyes.

Then, he started to move.

His action was as fast as lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of the female hiker with his left hand gripping her neck tightly when he was supposed to sit on the snow. The wind blew and ruffled his silver hair. There was no longer laziness within his scarlet eyes, nor a hint of evil charm. Even the annoyance when he was facing Helian Wei Wei was gone.

Those eyes merely looked murderous and cold.

The influence of human desires was the most critical step in demonization and Baili Jia Jue finally got this step accomplished in advance today.
