HRPM – Chapter 333 She went camping.

A well-trained force of imperial soldiers moved swiftly through the silent, pitch-dark mountain forest. Every man was on edge, their eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Each kept a hand on the saber at his waist, ready to draw at a moment’s notice.

Jin Luoluo couldn’t help but feel speechless as she looked at the person who seemed the most comfortable of them all—Prince Xiao Luo.

Sure enough, he did have a solution. His solution was to have one of his subordinates carry him on his back.

How nice. He doesn’t even have to walk.

The wilderness was filled with dense trees, crawling insects, and slithering snakes. Countless branches and vines blocked the way, making it impossible to find anything resembling a path.

The route they followed existed only because the soldiers in front hacked through the undergrowth with their blades. At last, she truly understood Grandpa Lu Xun’s famous saying:

“There was originally no road; it came into being because so many people walked it.”

How absolutely true!

“Qinglong, take me to your master!”

The Black-Bellied Prince was actually being quite considerate. Knowing she had no martial arts skills and couldn’t keep up with the troops on foot, he had assigned Qinglong, a peerless martial arts expert, to support her by holding her around the waist and carrying her along with his qinggong.

Qinglong immediately accelerated, overtaking several men until he reached Xiao Luo’s side.

Xiao Luo held a jade flute in his hand. His expression was grave, his eyes narrowed as he stared toward the distant mountain peak.

According to their intelligence, that was the bandits’ stronghold—Tiger’s Lair Mountain.

“How much farther?” Jin Luoluo asked softly.

“Already getting tired?” Xiao Luo glanced at the strange outfit she was wearing. Her body was wrapped in a jet-black, form-fitting suit, and a short cylindrical tube hung from her back.

“Don’t worry—I have great stamina. This is my wilderness survival combat outfit. It includes food, a fire starter, knives, weapons, and even a sleeping bag. It protects against mosquitoes, insects, rain, wind—you name it. With this one outfit, I can conquer the world! Heh heh heh!”

Jin Luoluo proudly introduced her equipment.

Xiao Luo laughed.

How does this girl always come up with so many bizarre gadgets?

“We’re here to eliminate mountain bandits, not go camping. The weapons are one thing, but aren’t you carrying the food and sleeping bag for nothing?”

“Who says? The night’s long. If we get tired or hungry, we can eat some snacks to recover our strength. And if you can’t wipe out the bandits in one night, we’ll have to stay here anyway. Taking a nap wouldn’t be so bad.”

“…”

All right. This girl is obviously just here to enjoy the spectacle.

The group arrived at the slope of another mountain overlooking Tiger’s Lair Mountain. There, they halted and concealed themselves together, waiting in silence.
