The valley under the night sky was tranquil and deep, with cliffs on both sides standing tall like knife-edge walls. The river andered through, like a jade-green ribbon weaving through a sea of flowers, with the water surface shimring like erald.
Suddenly—
With a splash, a furry little head erged from the river.
A black and white kitten climbed ashore, shaking off the water droplets. It was Shen Tang, who had secretly teleported here.
She didn’t want Lu Xiao and the others to worry, so she made an excuse to rest alone and had the system teleport her to this remote wilderness.
Shen Tang surveyed her surroundings and lowered her voice, "Are you sure Necro is here?"
[Rest assured, Host, the location is accurate,] the system replied. [For safety reasons, I teleported you to a slightly distant location. Necro is 1.6 kiloters ahead along the river.]
Shen Tang sniffed the air lightly and was surprised to catch a faint scent of herbs, "I think I sll dicinal herbs?"
[The Host’s sense of sll is indeed sharp!] the system praised. [This area has a rare herb commonly used in advanced dical treatnts, known for its miraculous effect on wound healing.]
[Necro, being of the Blood Clan with special constitution, has difficulty healing his wounds and likely often cos here to soak in dicinal baths for healing.]
Shen Tang looked ahead and took a deep breath, taking out the Lucky Four-leaf Clover from her space, clasped her hands together, and silently prayed.
—Heaven bless, this ti it must succeed!
...
The riverbanks were covered with aquatic irises, and as a gentle breeze passed, the purple sea of flowers wafted a faint fragrance. Hidden among the dense flowers and leaves, a tall and imposing figure leaned against the shore.
The man was shirtless, his handso and devilish face appeared even more profound under the moonlight. His long black hair, soaked, draped over his broad shoulders, with water droplets sliding down his firm chest, tracing out well-defined abdominal muscles.
Below the waist was hidden in the dark river water, his body appearing and disappearing amid the shimring waves...
He closed his eyes, feeling the icy river water brushing against his skin as his wounds slowly healed.
Suddenly, a breeze blew past, and a rustling sound ca from the flower bushes not far away.
He abruptly opened his eyes, a hint of crimson flashing across his dark pupils.
His sharp gaze locked onto the source of the sound, a mysterious smirk curling at the corner of his lips, "An overconfident little mouse!"
In an instant, his palm clenched, and the air filled with countless blood-red threads like a net of death, rushing swiftly towards a specific direction!
Hiding behind the grass, Shen Tang’s face changed drastically, she got discovered this fast!
Before she could get closer, his vigilance was indeed beyond imagination!
In a life-and-death mont, instead of fleeing, Shen Tang recklessly charged forward. At the sa ti, she pulled out the [Telekinesis] tool from the system’s backpack.
Necro glimpsed the familiar black and white kitten, and his expression slightly changed; wasn’t that the sa cat that had bitten him last ti?
Recalling the total annihilation of his Living Corpse Army last ti, Necro’s gaze instantly turned extrely sinister. With formidable power, he forcefully flung Shen Tang into the river and scorned impatiently, "It’s you again!"
This disguised spy had managed to escape last ti, but this ti he would surely take its life!
Countless blood-red threads surrounded her like a Heaven and Earth Net, and the energy of the entire area was instantly sealed. Shen Tang felt as if her blood was about to freeze and an instinctual fear surged from deep within her heart!
This ti eting him, Necro’s strength was evidently stronger. Perhaps he hadn’t taken things seriously last ti, which is why she managed to escape by chance!
[Host! The space is sealed! Use the tool to stall him for ten seconds! Otherwise, we’re both done for!]
Shen Tang leaped out of the water, transforming into a human shape, and in her panic, grabbed a spray randomly from the backpack.
She instinctively thought it was the Obedience Spray and pressed the nozzle towards Necro without thinking.
The man’s movent suddenly halted, and the murderous glint in his eyes was replaced by a hint of confusion.
Shen Tang had just breathed a sigh of relief, but upon seeing the label on the spray bottle, she was struck like lightning and petrified in place—
Love at First Sight Spray?!
She, she had grabbed the wrong spray?!
Under the moonlight, the woman with black hair and snow-white skin erged from the water, her soaked clothes outlining a graceful silhouette. In a fluster, she raised her hands to cover her face. Although her full appearance wasn’t revealed, her cat-like eyes, shining with droplets like obsidian, were captivating.
The night wind brushed across the river, and the sea of purple iris flowers behind her swayed with the breeze, enchanting like a sea monster under the moon.
Necro stared blankly at the woman in front of him, his cold gaze gradually growing hazy.
Thump, thump—
His heart pounded violently in his chest; despite having lived for so many years, he had never felt this way before.
All he felt was that the beauty of the female before him was suffocating, making him want to offer her the world!
Shen Tang’s heart was also about to jump out of her throat, but it was entirely out of fear! However, she couldn’t afford to think much at this mont. Taking advantage of Necro’s dazed state, she imdiately activated the tool to extract the Essence Blood.
Just then, the system’s teleportation repair was complete, and she turned around and ran!
Necro was about to reach out and embrace the beauty when she suddenly vanished.
He grasped emptily at the air, as if tonight’s extraordinary encounter was just a dream.
The man held his chest in frustration, feeling as though there was a hollow in his heart.
Tonight, he had fallen in love at first sight with a female whose appearance he hadn’t even clearly seen!
...
Back in her room, Shen Tang’s legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the bed, her heart still pounding wildly, "That scared the life out of , I almost got killed by that pervert!"
[Hehe, without entering the tiger’s den, how can you capture the tiger cub? Besides, didn’t the Host succeed? I knew you could do it, Host!]
The lousy system gloated. [And by mistake, the Host used the Love at First Sight Spray on Necro; it seems to have worked pretty well. His bloodline talent is top-notch. Would the Host consider setting him as a target to pursue?]
Shen Tang rolled her eyes as if regretting to the point of spitting blood, "Do I have a death wish? You forgot that the blasted spray has a major bug; if he finds out that his ’lover’ is two-timing, he’ll go mad and kill her!"
"Not to ntion that man is a pervert in the first place. If he finds out that I’m a married woman with five Beast Husbands, it’ll be the end of !"
The system suddenly realized, [Oh, that’s true. Then the Host should just lie low and avoid revealing your true identity.]
Fortunately, at the ti, she subconsciously covered her face, so Necro probably didn’t see her appearance clearly.
Shen Tang soon put this matter behind her, shaking the glass vial in her hand. The Essence Blood inside looked ordinary, but its powerful energy was palpable.
Following the instructions on the note, she mixed part of the Essence Blood into the potion, and the green liquid gradually turned light yellow.
Even though she had the finished product, Shen Tang was still hesitant.
Not even the system could analyze whether this potion would work for Xiao Jin; if it turned out to be Vine’s prank...
[Your Majesty! Major General Xiao Jin’s condition is rapidly deteriorating and must be executed or euthanized imdiately!]
Upon receiving Doctor Goya’s urgent ssage, Shen Tang could no longer afford to hesitate. By the ti she reached the hospital, Xiao Jin had already partially mutated into a monster, losing control and attacking the staff present.
She suppressed her heartache and teleported beside him, directly injecting the potion into his body.
Finally, the mutation halted.
Xiao Jin slowly returned to his human form, collapsing on the ground.
