920 An Eye for An Eye, Blood Shadow City, Here I Come! (1/2)

…

The moon was like a mirror and the shadow was like a hook.

The Southern Region was made up by forests. The six settlements and the Sagely Mountain City stood amongst the forest with the formation of Big Dipper Constellation.

However, it was a pity that…

The Southern Region was only left with the Thunderous Lion Settlement as the other five settlements and the Sagely Mountain City had been invaded by the Demon Race.

Nan Ling Settlement was one of them. Furthermore, it was the closest settlement to the territory of the Demon Race. With a cliff and surrounded by mountains, it had an extremely good location.

It was an extremely dangerous place.

Precisely because of how dangerous it was, it had helped in the defense against countless invasion of the Demon Race, ensuring that the terrain of the Southern Region and Great Xia was not invaded by the Demon soldiers.

At this moment, in a small secluded cave in the mountain two miles away from the Nan Ling Settlement, a tree branch of a tall ancient tree blocked the view from the cave as well as the faint light in the cave such that it was impossible for anyone to notice it.

In the cave, a bonfire was burning. On top of the bonfire was a wooden rack that had a cooked Golden-stripped Panther on it.

It was extremely rare to find Golden-stripped Panther, a beast who was extremely fast and good at hiding, in the Souther Region. Furthermore, it was at the top of the food chain amongst the beasts. However, on that unfortunate day, there were a few intruders in its den.

The Golden-stripped Panther was killed and after some cleaning and processing, it became the food on the fire rack.

Thump! At this moment, a weak sound was heard from the entrance of the cave before a beast flew into the cave.

The figure who was turning the fire rack raised his arm after seeing the beast and the beast landed on his arm.

A letter that was tied on the claw of the beast was retrieved. Then, the figure put down the fire rack in his hands and gave a look to the three Settlement Chiefs who were dressed in animal skins.

The three Settlement Chiefs immediately took over the fire rack and began turning it carefully. Meanwhile, they took a peek at the letter that the figure had opened.

However, the figure evidently did not want to share the contents of the letter with the three Settlement Chiefs. He threw the letter into the fire after reading it.

A cracking sound was heard from the fire and the letter turned into ashes.

”Senior, what happened? Was the news regarding the Southern Region? How's the Thunderous Lion Settlement now? Is it invaded by the Demon Race? How about the soldiers of the Southern Region, how are they doing?” The three Settlement Chiefs looked at Shan Yu and tried to get a response from the figure.

The figure still had a black cloth with the word ”God” around his face. It was extremely eye-catching.

However, he did not reply. He waved to the three Settlement Chiefs and took over the fire rack from them.

The three Settlement Chiefs gritted their teeth as they saw this. They had asked countless questions these few days but the guy who claimed to be the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian did not answer them at all.

”Senior, since you have the ability to defeat Lin Ji, you definitely have the ability to help us reclaim the Southern Region. In view of the thousands of lives in the Southern Region, we hope that Senior can…”

”I feel sleepy, are you three full? If you are, go and guard the cave.” The figure waved his hands and broke off the three Settlement Chiefs' sentence. Then, he yawned and lied down.

”This…” The three Settlement Chiefs glanced at each other and sighed gently before taking a look at Shan Yu who had yet spoken for advice.

Shan Yu nodded slightly upon seeing the gaze in the three Settlement Chiefs. Then, she took out her knife and cut a piece of meat from the fire rack and delivered it cautiously to the figure.

Seeing this, the three Settlement Chiefs stood up quickly and left the cave to focus on guarding it.

”It's getting cold.” The figure stretched, took the meat with his hand and chewed on it.

”I made a coat with the animal skin during my free time, if Senior don't mind…”

”Is the Queen of the Southern Region trying to please me?” The figure broke off Shan Yu's sentence and gradually sat upright, looking at Shan Yu who was wearing a black animal skin and had her face slightly red from the glow of the fire.

”Senior, you saved our lives. This is nothing as compared to your favor. Please do not look at it that way, Senior. In fact, Shan Yu has no complains even if Senior did not care about the plight of the Southern Region.” Shan Yu shook her head.

”Do you know why I brought all of you here?”

”I don't know.”

”Haha, then why didn't you ask?”

”Our lives were saved by Senior, hence how would we dare to say anything?”

”So it seems like you are really gratified?”

”You saved my life, I will never be able to repay this favor!”

”Never be able to repay this favor? Come on, I have always read that people would repay by marriage, right? Are you trying to play cheat?” The figure smiled.

”Senior, please mind your words!” Shan Yu's body shook and she clenched her teeth.

”Haha, you mean I am wrong?”

”Senior, you are someone with an incredible status, how can I match up to you? It's not that you are wrong, but rather because… I already have someone in mind. Senior, I am willing to do anything else except for this, I seek your understanding.” Shan Yu fell on her knees as she said and made a bow.

”So you have someone in mind already?” The figure nodded his head lightly and looked at Shan Yu with an interested look. ”Can you tell me who is the handsome and extremely intelligent talent?”

After he spoke, he casually took the cup of hot water in front of him and took a sip as he waited for Shan Yu's reply.

Meanwhile, Shan Yu was stunned after hearing the question. She lifted her head and looked at the figure who was waiting for her reply and at the black mask with the big word ”God” on his face. She hesitated for a moment before gently nodding her head. ”Senior, you have overestimated me. The person whom I have in mind is neither handsome nor an intelligent talent, he is merely a shameless brat.”

Pfft! The figure spat out the water that was in his mouth and it was spat all over Shan Yu's face.

The warm water made Shan Yu's face wet and she was stunned.
