80: Chapter 79 Crimson Land 80: Chapter 79 Crimson Land Lu Zixun, who had instantly activated Steel Body, still had a blade viciously slash across his back.
A ghastly wound appeared on Lu Zixun’s body.
Lu Zixun was also sent flying.
“Tsk tsk tsk, I actually quite like little kittens.”
He wiped the blood from his blade on a nearby piece of cloth.
Yunyang looked on with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, “But sadly, why did you have to help Yue Sichen?”
Si Keke, as if realizing something, her pupils shrank as she said, “You deliberately allowed Yue Sichen to become a King-level Creature…”
Before Si Keke could finish, Yunyang raised a finger to his lips, “Shh…”
“Some things are better known than said, speaking them out loud could lead to…”
He paused mid-sentence, then suddenly swung the blade viciously at Si Keke, his eyes flashing with a torrent of murderous intent, “a deadly disaster.”
Looking at the blade that appeared before her, Si Keke closed her eyes in despair.
Thinking back to when Yunyang had asked if she had anticipated her own fate, she couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
The expected pain, however, did not happen.
Si Keke opened her eyes, confused, to find an orange cat covered in blood standing in front of her.
“Ding—Detecting +2000 Surprise Value from Yunyang.”
“Ding—Detecting +500 Gratitude Value from Si Keer.”
Yunyang chuckled coldly, looking at the unsteady Lu Zixun as he played with his fingernails, “I didn’t really want to kill you—just gravely injure you.
If you died, I would not be able to face Yue Sichen.
But why did you make it so easy for me?”
“None of your damn business.”
Lu Zixun spat out these words, then took the opportunity to seek help from Crimson Land.
The lowest existences in the Crimson Land were all King-level Creatures.
It should be easy to kill a Yunyang, right?
After a moment of twisted space, a creature clad in armor, indiscernible as human or otherwise, appeared in Si Keke’s home.
“Ding—Detecting +10000 Doubt Value from an Unknown Being.”
Seeing the system notification with ten thousand feeling value, Lu Zixun was shocked.
What kind of existence was this?
Previously confident Yunyang acted as if facing a formidable enemy the moment the unknown creature appeared.
He began to edge towards the balcony.
The unknown creature’s gaze fell on Lu Zixun, and after a puzzling look, it said, “An emblem of King Ye, given to a mere kitten, how unexpected.”
In the midst of the unknown being speaking, Yunyang sprang to his feet, crashed through the balcony glass, and ran off like a dog that had lost its home.
Only to hear the unknown being give a cold laugh, raise its right hand into the Void, and say softly, “Die.”
Yunyang’s miserable screams echoed through the sky.
The unknown being, as if it had merely squished a bug, casually withdrew its hand.
Seeing the wound on Lu Zixun’s back, the unknown being’s brows furrowed.
With a wave of its left hand towards Lu Zixun, Holy Light descended upon him, instantly healing the wound.
After a deep look at Lu Zixun, space began to twist again, and in the blink of an eye, the unknown being disappeared.
Si Keke, who had fallen to the floor in fright, looked at Lu Zixun with a complex expression, “Why do you have an emblem of King Ye?”
Lu Zixun found this just as strange.
The system had provided a rescue opportunity, yet it was now an emblem from King Ye.
Could the system have originated from King Ye?
Honesty shook his head at Si Keke, indicating that he didn’t understand either.
But in Si Keke’s eyes, she thought Lu Zixun simply didn’t want to talk.
She didn’t press further, took a deep breath, and stood up from the ground.
But then another wave rose before the first had subsided.
A powerful presence swept through the whole room.
Si Keke, who had just stood up, was forced by this presence to kneel back down on the ground.
Lu Zixun, who could not withstand the pressure either, went limp and sprawled on the floor.
A familiar voice reached Lu Zixun’s ears.
He looked up to see Yue Sichen appearing in the room.
Judging by the way Yue Sichen made his entrance, it seemed to be similar to the unknown creature from earlier, just not as skilled.
With a complicated expression, Lu Zixun was at a loss for words.
The released aura was retracted back into her body.
After scanning the room, Yue Sichen picked up a stool to sit down and patted her legs, signaling Lu Zixun to come over.
Considering it might be dangerous to approach now, and after pondering for a moment, he still couldn’t resist the temptation of her black silk legs.
He got up and leapt, lying across Yue Sichen’s legs to enjoy the massage from a King-level Creature.
After a while, Lu Zixun heard Yue Sichen’s sigh.
“Ding—Feeling value from Yue Sichen increased by +3000.”
“I know,” Lu Zixun said without even lifting an eyelid.
“Falling for Yunyang’s scheme, Chunhua City will soon fall into the conflict between Abnormal Creatures and sto,” Yue Sichen said calmly, then added, “And there’s a good chance sto will lose.”
Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Doesn’t Chunhua City have a Guardian?
How could they lose?”
“The Guardian’s power is limited—and besides…”
Her mouth curled with a hint of mockery, Yue Sichen coldly snorted, “Tan Ye isn’t exactly a paragon of virtue; he can easily threaten the Guardian with human lives.”
Lu Zixun frowned, his whiskers twitching slightly.
It quickly dawned on him what Yue Sichen meant.
It was as if Tan Ye had hostages; the Guardian couldn’t indiscriminately attack.
And Tan Ye faced no such dilemmas.
What a headache, Lu Zixun reached up to scratch his ear, feeling a bit troubled.
A red glow shone from Yue Sichen’s chest, bathing the back of Lu Zixun’s head in a ruddy light.
Looking down at the red light, Yue Sichen raised her finger and touched the back of Lu Zixun’s head, “I’m giving you something.
If you can’t beat them, run.
“Ding—Detected a gift from Yue Sichen, capable of speeding up superpower control and enhancing the Host’s physical condition.”
“Ding—Received an item, Yue Sichen’s bracelet.”
Before Lu Zixun could say anything, he felt the space beneath him empty; Yue Sichen had left.
He looked around the room in slight bewilderment.
For some reason, Lu Zixun felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
“Ding—Resentment value from Si Keke increased by +500.”
“I’m so angry; I can’t believe I’m less popular than a cat.”
Muttering to herself, she climbed up from the ground.
Si Keke fiddled under the coffee table and tossed a silver object to Lu Zixun.
