Chapter 39 Enemy Encounter (2/2)

…

While Zhou Yuan was killing Genesis Beasts in the Black Forest Mountain Range, certain events had occurred in Great Zhou City. The most notable amongst them was that Qi Manor had been robbed and was rumored to have lost something very important. The entire Qi Manor had practically been turned inside out and the search for the thieves ultimately extended throughout the city, causing it to become abuzz with activity.

However, this was after all an affair of Qi Manor. Therefore, everyone merely watched from the sidelines, even gloating somewhat before no longer paying any attention.

Ta ta!

On the second day after Qi Manor was burgled, the housekeeper of the manor, Qi Ling, led a group of men out the city, heading straight for the Black Forest Mountain Range where some clues were said to have been found.

Qi Ling stood with his hands behind his back at the entrance to the Black Forest Mountain Range. His deep set eyes were fixed onto the mountain range like an eagle’s.

Someone reported from behind in a low voice, “Master Qi, the men have already entered the Black Forest Mountain Range and are closing in on the target.”

Qi Ling nodded and said, “Prepare to search the mountains and make sure to cause a bigger disturbance. We will be heading to where Lu Tieshan is.”

“Roger!” The person behind him responded before waving his hand as a dozen figures shot out and flew towards the mountain range.

Half a day later.

At a certain location in the mountain range, Lu Tieshan was seated cross-legged in front a towering tree. He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze firmly fixed on the forests in front of him as he shouted in stern voice, “Who?!”

Behind him, several figures grasped the weapons at their side as the Genesis Qi in their bodies began to circulate.

“Hehe, no need to be nervous brother Lu, it’s me.” A chuckle emerged from the forests followed by Qi Ling and his men.

“Qi Ling?” Lu Tieshan was stunned before he frowned and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Qi Ling helplessly replied, “The manor has been burgled and the thieves seem to have hidden themselves in the Black Forest Mountain Range. Me and my men have chased them all the way here.”

Lu Tieshan’s furrowed brows relaxed a little. He had heard of the recent Qi Manor burglary. Though he looked as large as a bear, he was very prudent and cautious, else he would not have become a captain of the imperial guard. Thus, although he seemed to have relaxed his guard, he tilted his head and instructed the imperial guards behind him, “Send two men to protect his highness.”

Two imperial guards immediately responded and stealthily withdrew.

Qi Ling was all smiles as he watched this happen. As he walked forward to greet Lu Tieshan, the hand behind his back lightly waved as shadows seemed to retreat in the dark.

…

In the valley, Yaoyao was seated on a rock, her long legs folded under her while Tuntun lay on her lap. Her fine black hair draped over her shoulders, while the dried yellow leaves of an ancient cedar fell behind her. This beautiful scene was akin to a painting.

Roar!

Suddenly, the lazy Tuntun on Yaoyao’s lap opened its eyes and looked towards the nearby darkness as a roar was released from its throat.

Yaoyao’s brows knitted together slightly as she also raised her pretty face and looked in the same direction.

“Heh heh. I never imagined that I would meet such an extremely gorgeous little lady in the deep mountains.” A voice that was filled with evilness echoed from the darkness as two figures slowly walked out.

Both figures had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. The one in front had a tattoo on his face, while an ominous look brewed in his eyes. At this current moment, his gaze seemed to burn like magma as he stared at the lovely figure nearby as if he was about to swallow the latter in the single gulp.

The man with a tattoo on his face said to his partner as he pointed towards the nearby woods, “Luo Tong, you go deal with the target. He should be nearby.”

Although he was speaking, his eyes remained tightly glued to Yaoyao’s body.

“That kid should have only opened four meridian channels. You will be able to easily dispatch him with your six channel strength.”

Although the man called Luo Tong was somewhat reluctant when he heard this, he did not dare to go against the tattoo-face man’s words. After all, the latter had already stepped into the Qi Nourishing stage.

Luo Tong licked his lips and said, “Boss, you have to leave a bite of such a high quality good for me. I have never seen such a pretty girl in my life.”

“Haha, don’t worry. I will definitely wait for you to return, but you must be quick.” The perverse light in the tattoo-face man’s eyes blossomed as he grinned.

“Great.” Luo Tong nodded his head in a satisfied manner when he heard this before he quickly shot towards the forest.

Upon seeing Luo Tong leave, the tattoo-face man beamed as he walked towards the Yaoyao, who had not moved from the spot. He looked at the latter’s alluring hands and her beautiful breathtaking face as he felt a fire burn in his body.

“Little beauty, come have some fun with me. I will be very gentle with you.” The tattoo-face man did not sense any Genesis Qi undulations from Yaoyao’s body and hence was not even the slightest bit wary. His eyes wantonly swept across her figure as he grinned.

Yaoyao shot an indifferent look at him. Not even the slightest fluctuation could be seen in her bright eyes. Her calm appearance caused the tattoo-face man to be stunned as he felt a tiny bit of unease.

“Tuntun.”

Before he could do anything else, Yaoyao’s red lips had already opened slightly. Her clear and sweet voice was completely ice-cold.

As Yaoyao’s voice faded, the tattoo-face man’s pupils immediately shrank. He watched in horror as the tiny body of the originally pet-like Tuntun lying on Yaoyao’s lap began to grow. Its fur receded and in its place grew scarlet red scales. A pair of scarlet red animal eyes were brimming with endless ferocity, while black light faintly emerged in the slightly opened mouth of the creature as if it could devour all things.

In the blink of an eye, the originally cute little pet had become a mysterious and horrible beast. An ominous aura dashed into the sky, while an alarming pressure slowly spread from its body.
