"Hoo!!!"
As Bai Ye's cold voice echoed, fierce flames erupted all around.
"Spatial Restraint!"
Almost simultaneously, the space surrounding Ryukawako Suko was sealed by Bai Ye.
At this moment, Bai Ye's attention was entirely focused on her. If she showed any signs of resistance, he would not hesitate to unleash abilities like
Her peculiar reactions made Bai Ye suspect her identity. She was definitely not just a simple noodle shop owner who lost her parents at a young age. However, he hadn't sensed any hostility from her from beginning to end, so Bai Ye had held back his attack.
What was her true identity? A shapeshifted demonic creature? Bai Ye knew nothing about shapeshifted demonic creatures.
However, as he remained on unprecedented alert, Ryukawako Suko in front of him screamed in agony.
"Ah!!"
The scorching heat around her turned her fair skin red, her expression filled with terror and discomfort. She had never expected Bai Ye to attack her so suddenly, and with such terrifying methods, even more ferocious than his attack on the previous monster!
"No! Bai Ye-kun~ I'll… I'll talk!"
Bai Ye frowned. Judging by the aura and her reaction, she was unlikely to be a disaster-class demonic creature shapeshifted.
He reined in his killing intent and dispelled the raging flames. In a short period, a large portion of the valley floor was scorched black, and the remaining monster corpses had all turned to ash.
"Ah~ Bai~ Bai Ye-kun…"
As Bai Ye also removed the spatial restraint, Ryukawako Suko collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, drenched in sweat. Her light athletic wear clung to her skin, accentuating her voluptuous figure. Da Feng Novel Network.
Bai Ye glanced at her and said calmly, "You brought me here not because you wanted to see what monsters were in this valley, but to observe the situation in the military camp!"
"At first, I suspected you were a demonic creature, but now it seems you are not. And you are not from the small town. Tell me, who exactly are you?"
"I~" Ryukawako Suko looked up at Bai Ye, her voice trembling with lingering fear, "I am actually from Han Country, my name is Han Xiuhui, and I belong to the Han Country Military Intelligence Bureau. I was ordered to come here to investigate some matters. I had no intention of targeting you!"
Han Country? Bai Ye immediately understood. This woman with an angelic figure was a spy!
Seeing Bai Ye's unresponsiveness, Ryukawako Suko, fearing he wouldn't believe her, switched to Han language and said coquettishly, "Bai Ye oppa~ I actually had no intention of deliberately hiding my identity from you, nor would I dare to use you. I originally planned to confess to you after returning from here. Our Han Country government greatly admires you and hopes to cooperate with you…"
After speaking, Ryukawako Suko looked at Bai Ye with a melancholic gaze, like that of a widow for many years, intending to translate for Bai Ye.
But Bai Ye raised his hand to interrupt her. Then, in fluent Han language, he asked, "Your mission is related to the demonic creatures in country R?"
Hearing Bai Ye's fluent Han language, Ryukawako Suko couldn't help but show surprise. Was this guy from Han Country?
"Bai Ye oppa is too smart!" Her eyes were full of admiration, and she continued, "To be honest, Bai Ye oppa, our Han Country also has monsters appearing. However, they have been suppressed by our Han Country government, and the news has been blocked. It's just that the cost was very high… As far as we know, the Great Xia Country is also in a similar situation…"
"But compared to us, country R has been much more peaceful, with very few reports of monster disturbances. This has aroused our suspicions. Logically speaking, after the Beautiful Country withdrew its troops 20 years ago, it should have been difficult for the R country government to deal with monster attacks, but the opposite is true!"
"Through secret investigations over the years, we have found that country R is not without monsters appearing. On the contrary, there are many more monsters within country R than in our Han Country. But – a very strange point is that, as you have seen, Bai Ye oppa, these demonic creatures have actually been 'coexisting peacefully' with country R."
"In the war against these monsters, we humans are clearly at a disadvantage. Therefore, our Han Country also hopes to obtain the method of 'peaceful coexistence' like that of country R."
Ryukawako Suko's expression gradually became complex, and she slightly tilted her head, gazing at Bai Ye. Her usually teasing and seductive eyes finally became serious.
"Bai Ye oppa is actually quite interested in the secrets between country R and the monsters, aren't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come with me. So… our current goals are actually the same."
Ryukawako Suko stood up and said seriously to Bai Ye, "We have a clue that might be of interest to Bai Ye oppa."
"Oh?" Bai Ye, who had been silent, his eyes flickered.
"In recent years, country R has been more frequent and solemn in its worship of various shrines and temples within the country. Even national leaders are often seen actively participating. I suspect… there might be something we want to know in this!"
"Is that so?"
Bai Ye's gaze narrowed. Was that shapeshifted high-level demonic creature really considered a god by them, worshipped in shrines and temples?
With so many shrines and temples in country R, were there more than one disaster-class demonic creature??
As he thought this, a smile suddenly appeared on Bai Ye's face.
"This news is indeed interesting, Miss Ryukawa. Oh, no, you should be Miss Han."
