73: Chapter 72: Simple and Cute Creatures 73: Chapter 72: Simple and Cute Creatures “Fog Grass.”
Unable to hold back, Lu Zixun cursed incredulously at Long Xuan, “Are you even a man?”
“What does being a man have to do with anything?”
With an indifferent smile, Long Xuan’s eyes darkened, “As long as it achieves the ultimate goal, what does it matter which means are used, don’t you think?”
Hearing Long Xuan’s words, Lu Zixun’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
His figure expanded rapidly, looming over Long Xuan.
This time, Lu Zixun was truly angry.
The words spoken by Yue Sichen indeed weighed on Lu Zixun’s heart.
But it wasn’t the issues about how Lu Zixun would cope in the future that weighed him down.
It was the sadness Lu Zixun felt over the fear that he might never return to being human for the rest of his life.
However, no matter what, Lu Zixun always saw himself as human and, after acquiring his so-called abilities, he never took revenge on humans but instead continually helped them.
Now faced with the deranged Long Xuan, Lu Zixun felt an unusual rage.
“Ding—Detected teasing value from Long Xuan +500.”
“That’s more like it.”
Setting Leng Lanxin, whom he was holding, down, Long Xuan’s face bore a mocking expression as he looked at Lu Zixun, “All I have now, I owe it to you.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Long Xuan’s right hand turned into a sharp blade, and he viciously slashed at Lu Zixun.
Lu Zixun, with his Steel Body activated, showed no fear as he swung his claws at Long Xuan.
The Steel Body was cut open by Long Xuan’s sharp blade, leaving a gash.
At the same time, Lu Zixun’s claw struck Long Xuan’s head, squashing it flat.
Lu Zixun, who hadn’t expected Long Xuan to be so rubbish, twitched his whiskers and withdrew his claw.
But in the next moment, Lu Zixun felt a pain in his paw—the claw he had swung at Long Xuan had been penetrated by a blade.
“Ding—Detected Killing Intent Value from Long Xuan +500.”
The collapsed Long Xuan, his head splitting apart to the left and right, revealed wriggling tentacles that garbled, “The…
The squirming tentacles transformed into sharp blades, swinging a slash at Lu Zixun.
Facing such a ferocious attack imbued with killing intent, Lu Zixun’s pupils shrank.
He immediately deactivated his Infinite Strength, his body shrunk, and he dodged the blade.
At the same time, Lu Zixun also noticed that during Long Xuan’s attack, the human body seemed to have no defensive measures.
If that was the case, a fleeting gleam passed through Lu Zixun’s eyes.
Activating Magnetic Field Control, he removed a metal rod from the leg of a nearby chair.
“Queen, I sense the presence of our own kind down below.”
Ye Xun, who was reporting to Yue Sichen in the office, furrowed his brow and said.
Hearing this, Yue Sichen nodded nonchalantly, stirring his fingernail lightly, “Mhm, tell them to seal off the scene.”
“Do we not need to intervene?”
His brow furrowing even more, Ye Xun carefully said, “It seems to be that cat fighting with Tan Ye’s subordinate, should we just seal off the scene?”
Resting his fingers on the table, Yue Sichen tapped lightly.
With a hint of a smile, Yue Sichen said, “Tan Ye’s subordinate can just prove the Orange Cat’s strength, and moreover…
Tan Ye’s subordinate is from the Long Family.”
Contemplating Yue Sichen’s words.
Ye Xun’s furrowed brow slowly relaxed, “You mean, the Long Family doesn’t know that Long Xuan has been parasitized yet.
If that cat kills Long Xuan…
over there, that cat’s situation might become quite difficult.”
Lu Zixun spoke languidly, leaning back in the chair and gazing out of the window.
A cold gleam flashed in her eyes, “Compared to humans, simple and adorable creatures are better off with me.”
Raising a paw, Lu Zixun fended off Long Xuan’s sharp blade, manipulating a sharp metal pole and heaving it toward Long Xuan’s torso.
The metal pole penetrated Long Xuan’s chest.
Bright red blood flowed down the hollow metal pole onto the ground, filling the space with a pungent smell of blood.
How is this possible…”
Staggering a few steps, Long Xuan spoke incredulously, “You…
why do you have Metal Control?”
Lu Zixun, gasping for breath, didn’t answer Long Xuan’s question.
Using his tail to curl around Leng Lanxin, he moved aside, carefully watching Long Xuan to prevent any dying counterattack.
He uttered these tremulous words.
Tentacles sprouted from Long Xuan’s head, grasping the metal pole and viciously stabbing through his chest, stopping the bleeding of the mortal wound.
Watching Long Xuan’s decisive and ruthless actions, Lu Zixun grew even more cautious.
Long Xuan didn’t pay attention to Lu Zixun, staggering his way outside.
By the looks of it, he was probably not far from death.
Only when Lu Zixun heard Long Xuan’s departing footsteps did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking back at his own wounds, he tenderly leaned in to lick them.
“Ding— Resentment Value from Long Xuan +1000.”
Lu Zixun tilted his head, pondering over it — it must mean Long Xuan was bitter about going down, but it damn near scared the cat to death.
Thinking back to the moment when Long Xuan’s head split open, Lu Zixun couldn’t help shivering.
At this moment, more footsteps echoed from outside the door, and Lu Zixun was startled.
He focused intently on the corner, dreading another encounter like the one with Long Xuan.
It was Ye Xun who came.
After looking around, his gaze fell on Lu Zixun and he said lightly, “Quite impressive.”
“Ding— Admiration Value from Ye Xun +300.”
Hearing the praise coming from Ye Xun’s mouth, Lu Zixun felt surprised.
No, wasn’t this Abnormal Creature exceptionally hateful toward him?
Confused and unable to figure out the reasoning, Lu Zixun decided not to dwell on it.
Lazing on the ground, licking his wounds, he said, “Hurry and take this woman to the hospital, or she might die soon.”
Ye Xun didn’t move after hearing Lu Zixun’s words.
When Lu Zixun lifted his head in confusion to look at Ye Xun, he heard Ye Xun say expressionlessly, “How strange, a creature that was treated like a pet by humans and toyed with as they pleased, would actually care about human safety when it gains power.”
Faced with Ye Xun’s remark, Lu Zixun rolled his eyes, “That’s none of your damn business.
If you won’t help, I’ll go find Yue Sichen.”
“Really interesting.”
With a meaningful statement, Ye Xun stepped forward and picked up Leng Lanxin.
Looking back deeply at Lu Zixun, he turned and left the place.
Opening the system panel, Lu Zixun saw he had nearly thirty thousand feeling value and pondered for a moment before opening the Mall.
His wounds were too painful; he wanted to check if the Mall had another Healing Fruit like last time.
“Ding— The Mall has been refreshed; due to the system upgrade, the quality of the items has also risen by one level.”
