Wen Wen led Qiao Feiya by the hand, escaping with her through instantaneous teleports. With an extra person, the energy consumption doubled, and after a while, they were both panting.
To bring her along, physical contact was necessary, so Qiao Feiya requested to hold hands.
According to Wen Wen's thoughts, any form of contact would be more comfortable than holding hands…
If only they weren't on the run, Wen Wen, who appeared to be a seasoned veteran but was actually a pure-hearted young man, would surely be indulging in fantasies.
The two had just completed a teleportation. Shuruman had been tricked by Wen Wen once before, and it would take about two more minutes before he could pursue them. Wen Wen, also depleted, needed some recovery time before his next teleport.
Thus, they began running in their intended direction. After a short while, an unforeseen event occurred: a deer-headed muscular monster lunged at Wen Wen and Qiao Feiya with a punch, which Qiao Feiya deflected with her sword.
Two new monsters appeared before them. One was a bizarre golden-haired monkey with its tail in front, and the other was Akal, whom Wen Wen had seen before!
Akal's eyes were red as it stared at Wen Wen, appearing as though it would tear Wen Wen apart at any moment.
However, perhaps due to severe damage sustained previously, or perhaps because they were not within its domain, Akal, despite its ferocious appearance, was only at the Disaster Upper Sequence level.
If it were only Akal and the monkey pursuing Wen Wen, he would not have been afraid. Unfortunately, Shuruman, whom they couldn't handle, was still behind them, and Wen Wen didn't have time to waste.
"These two seem to be coming for you too. What exactly did you do?" Qiao Feiya asked Wen Wen with a headache.
Wen Wen replied innocently, "Perhaps it's because I'm too righteous and hate evil. I must have offended these fellows in some mission."
Qiao Feiya rolled her eyes. "Righteous and hating evil? You're kidding."
Wen Wen whispered to Qiao Feiya, "By the way, you need to be careful of that monkey. It's too lewd."
With Qiao Feiya's strength, Akal, who attacked head-on, posed little threat to her. But this monkey was the first time Wen Wen had seen it, and it might possess some special ability.
"Lewd? How is it lewd?" Qiao Feiya asked, confused.
Wen Wen scratched his head. Was this woman truly ignorant or feigning ignorance? A tail growing below the navel, anyone would find that lewd.
So Wen Wen guided Qiao Feiya slightly. Understanding Wen Wen's meaning, Qiao Feiya's face immediately flushed. She looked at the monkey with eyes like sharp knives, feeling as though it shouldn't exist in this world.
Seeing the two whispering and gossiping about him, the golden-haired monkey gritted its teeth in anger, "Can you two discuss things quietly, so I don't have to hear? You're the lewd ones, your whole family is lewd!"
Enraged, the golden-haired monkey aimed its long tail at Qiao Feiya. The hand at the tip of its tail revealed a strange power. Before Qiao Feiya could react, her sword inexplicably appeared in the golden-haired monkey's hand.
"This is truly a fine sword. Pity it's mine now," the golden-haired monkey said with a sinister smile. "My Sky Steal Hand can take anything from you, be it a sword… or something else!"
Wen Wen rubbed his hair. This fellow was indeed lewd. Besides her sword, all Qiao Feiya had on her was her clothes.
Suddenly, Wen Wen's expression changed. With the delay caused by these two, Shuruman was about to catch up. Wen Wen grabbed Qiao Feiya's hand.
"Wait, my sword…" Qiao Feiya struggled.
"We can't afford to worry about swords now. If we die here, we'll lose everything." Wen Wen ignored her and initiated the teleportation.
The appearance of the golden-haired monkey and Akal undoubtedly added insult to injury for the already desperate duo.
With these two, Wen Wen and Qiao Feiya only had about ten seconds of rest between each teleport. Qiao Feiya, without her sword, had also suffered a significant reduction in her combat power. If they had to face Shuruman directly, she wouldn't last long.
However, after escaping for a while, Wen Wen burst into laughter. He had finally found what he was looking for on the terrain map displayed by his Containment Officer badge!
"What are you laughing at? I lost my sword," Qiao Feiya said irritably.
Wen Wen laughed heartily and said, "In a moment, I'm going to take you somewhere. The situation might get even worse there, or perhaps we won't need to keep running and can launch a counter-attack!"
"Then let's go. I'm tired of running," a sharp glint flashed in Qiao Feiya's eyes. She intended to get her sword back.
On the terrain map, visible only to him within a radius of several dozen meters, a very blurry spot was located several meters underground. It seemed to contain a person, or perhaps nothing at all. Thus, Wen Wen concluded that the female Imperial Beast Tiger was hiding there.
The Containment Officer badge's effect was powerful, capable of clearly detecting everything within a few dozen meters. The presence of a blurry area indicated a considerable cloaking ability. In Yue City, the only entity requiring such concealment was the female Imperial Beast Tiger!
Wen Wen first threw a javelin in another direction. After waiting for a short while with Qiao Feiya, they saw Shuruman rushing towards them. Wen Wen then smiled and hurled the javelin towards the blurry spot.
The female Imperial Beast Tiger, lying restlessly in a ball pit, suddenly saw a hole appear in the ceiling, and a javelin pierced the ground of the basement where she was located.
This javelin sent the female Imperial Beast Tiger's spirits plummeting. She had hidden so discreetly; how could she still be discovered?
Subsequently, a blue light flashed on the javelin, and a man and a woman, holding hands, appeared beside it. It was Wen Wen and Qiao Feiya!
Wen Wen smiled at the female Imperial Beast Tiger and said, "Heh heh, I guessed correctly. You were hiding here."
"You… it's you! I remember you!"
After the male Imperial Beast Tiger died, some vague memories were transmitted to the female Imperial Beast Tiger's mind, including Wen Wen's existence.
Although Wen Wen hadn't killed the male Imperial Beast Tiger, she still harbored resentment towards him because of it.
Wen Wen said with a playful grin, "Many people remember me, but you'll probably remember me even more profoundly later. I'm here to reunite you with your mate."
With that, he stomped his foot, and a wooden box appeared at his feet. He then kicked the wooden box towards the female Imperial Beast Tiger.
The female Imperial Beast Tiger trembled as she opened the box. Inside, she saw the skull of a fierce tiger, its teeth already removed.
"Where are its teeth?"
Wen Wen stated matter-of-factly, "Of course, I pulled them out. After my sword embryo is forged, I need some good materials to forge the new sword body…"
"You're seeking death! I'll stuff you into this box too!" Sudan Novel Network
The female Imperial Beast Tiger stood up, an oppressive aura emanating from her. Even injured, she was stronger than Akal!
"Only if you can survive first."
Having attracted the enmity, Wen Wen immediately snapped his fingers and left with Qiao Feiya.
The moment Wen Wen departed, countless colored rays of light pierced the ground, striking the underground children's playground. One of the rays hit the wooden box precisely, piercing the male Imperial Beast Tiger's skull…
