Chapter 1098 - 1101: Encountering Xing Lian
To men, scars are a different kind of honor. Especially for a man like Yun Hao, whose charm is already captivating enough, causing Qing'Er to be fascinated!For a moment, Qing'Er even had a thought—not to search for other alternate selves or to look for her past, and certainly not to go to the Upper Realm; just staying by Yun Hao's side could be a good thing!
But Qing'Er knew this was impossible, not to mention that Yun Hao had more than just her by his side, and couldn't accompany her twenty-four hours a day!
Just the threats from other alternate selves were enough for her to find them and regain her original strength!
"Come and eat, stop daydreaming. If you keep staring at me, I might just eat you up!" Yun Hao called Qing'Er over after roasting the rabbit.
"Hmph..." Qing'Er gave Yun Hao a proud glance. This brat was threatening to eat her; he's really naughty!
"Wow, it's delicious, Yun Hao, you're amazing! You can start a fire, roast meat, you're incredible!" Qing'Er took a bite of the rabbit leg and shouted joyfully, looking so excited that she almost wanted to rush over and kiss Yun Hao!
"I have something even better, wanna try? It'll thrill you..." Yun Hao raised an eyebrow mischievously.
"No way, you big brat!" Qing'Er, teased by Yun Hao, seemed like a little girl, each expression full of youthful charm!
After eating, the two rested briefly before mounting Xiao Hua again and heading north; of course, along the way, they'd often let Xiao Hua out to hunt!
After all, the tiger carrying both of them needed energy replenishment!
"We've been here for three days already, yet apart from that mysterious man, we haven't encountered anyone else?" Qing'Er snuggled into Yun Hao's embrace, letting his large hands wander across her.
"There are people ahead, and I can hear the sounds of battle!" Yun Hao smiled slightly, his eyes looking forward.
Due to the journey and adjustment over these days, Yun Hao's injuries had already healed, especially with that Healing Holy Medicine combined with Yun Hao's miraculous physique, it was truly heaven-defying!
Qing'Er's injuries also improved significantly during these days under Yun Hao's care, at least not affecting combat!
"Battle? Should we avoid them?" Qing'Er asked worriedly.
"Why avoid them? Let's see if it's Star and the others. This place is so mysterious; who knows if they're injured?"
Yun Hao raised a hand and playfully slapped Qing'Er's little behind, teasing her with longing words.
"Why are you hitting me? You've been making my behind swell with all this smacking!" Qing'Er gently pounded Yun Hao's chest with her small fist, complaining coquettishly.
"Daring to hit me? Come and lie down, I'll give your behind a good slap!" Yun Hao playfully pressed Qing'Er onto his lap, giving her a few spanks!
"Ouch... You're wicked—stop hitting me, I was wrong!" Qing'Er's face blushed—didn't this brat have any sense of romance? She only wanted to be playful, but he kept spanking her; it was so unfair!
"Even when you know you're wrong, I have to hit you; otherwise, you'll never learn!"
Soon, not far ahead appeared the silhouettes of several people fighting; it seemed like four people were besieging someone, and the man in the middle looked exhausted, on the brink of collapse.
But Yun Hao, upon seeing this person, couldn't help but narrow his eyes because he recognized who it was—it was Xing Lian, who had lost contact upon arriving here!
"Missie, surrender obediently. Many of the people who came with you have already been captured by us!" A man with a beard spoke to Xing Lian, whom they encircled.
"Right, the man who came with you has certainly been captured by our brothers, so you might as well stop struggling!"
"Come with us obediently. Rest assured, a woman of your beauty will be well-treated by our boss; you'll become his ninth concubine!"
Upon hearing the beard's words, the others chimed in, as if Xing Lian was already at their mercy, ready to be humiliated!
Xing Lian was in bad shape. Since entering the Land of Trial three days ago, she and Star had separated and, without any wilderness survival experience, she'd been struggling for every bite and drop!
She even ate raw meat due to not knowing how to start a fire!
Once, she encountered a huge beast, almost ending up as food for it!
Luckily, a day ago, she met up with Star!
Thinking the journey would become easier, they were ambushed by a group of people just hours after reuniting!
They fought back as much as possible but were no match for the attackers, forcing them to escape!
Realizing she couldn't outrun them, Star turned back, hoping to hold off the enemies alone and buy Xing Lian enough time to escape!
Xing Lian didn't hesitate, knowing she'd only be a burden to Star if she stayed, so she ran north desperately, hoping to reach Yun Hao, who could save both herself and Star!
Yet, unexpectedly, she was intercepted here and, after a fierce battle, ended up in a losing position, suffering several hits and severe injuries!
"Don't even think about it! I won't go with you or agree to become your boss's so-called ninth concubine!" Xing Lian, fiery by nature, wouldn't comply with their wishes!
Her heart was filled with worries for Star and anger towards these people, whom she equated with the infameous groups who destroyed Feixue Castle, killed her father, and several Elders—they were all despicable!
