Mo Ling’Er’s pleading gasps traveled between the two large trees and fell clearly upon Zhao Rui’s ears.
"..."
Zhao Rui froze for a mont, an awkward smile twitching at the corners of his lips.
’A misunderstanding. This is a complete misunderstanding.’
’I just wanted to practice the new Martial Arts I learned. I honestly don’t have such filthy intentions.’
COUGH, COUGH!
Zhao Rui quickly stopped his Cultivation of the Witchcraft. Feigning ignorance, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
In the tree hollow on the other side, Mo Ling’Er felt the oppressive, domineering pressure on her Divine Soul Consciousness suddenly vanish. She instantly let out a sigh of relief.
Her entire body went limp and collapsed to the ground.
’That despicable, filthy rogue! If you dare try to force yourself on , I’ll... I’ll bite off your...!’
The words died on her lips. Her heart pounded like a drum, a maelstrom of shock, fear, anger, and anxiety swirling within her.
Her mind raced, trying to figure out how to handle the impending situation.
’No, I can’t just sit here and wait to be slaughtered!’
Mo Ling’Er began forming hand seals for a Witchcraft Technique, ntally running through every single Cultivation Technique she could think of that could defeat an enemy or turn the tables in a desperate situation.
’As long as I have even a sliver of consciousness left, I will absolutely kill you!’
Mo Ling’Er gritted her teeth, her heart filled with an intense hatred for Zhao Rui—and for herself.
Lost in this storm of hatred, anxiety, sha, and apprehension, half an hour slipped by quietly.
Outside the tree hollow, there was no unusual movent, only the occasional roars of beasts and calls of birds.
The waiting was the worst part.
Mo Ling’Er waited another half an hour, her emotions in a tangled ss.
Still, there was nothing.
At this point, she truly couldn’t take it anymore.
She sent the cover of her tree hollow flying a hundred ters with a single kick. Fuming, she stord over to Zhao Rui’s hollow, ripped away the makeshift door blocking his entrance, and snapped, "If you’re going to kill or torture , then get on with it! What’s the point of toying with like this?!"
"Co on! What are you still waiting for!"
Mo Ling’Er placed a fair hand on her collar, and with a loud RRRIP, tore a large gash in her own clothes.
The tear revealed her snow-white, smooth skin and her delicate, elegant collarbones.
It also offered a tantalizing glimpse of her ample curves.
"...!"
Zhao Rui stared, dumbfounded, at this woman’s astoundingly aggressive self-recomndation. He reflexively kicked open the other side of the tree hollow and, with a WHOOSH, transford into a streak of sword light and fled into the distance.
"..."
Now, it was Mo Ling’Er’s turn to be stunned.
’He ran away?’
She had ntally prepared herself for a hundred and eighty different scenarios, but the one thing she never expected was for him to run away.
’Is he disgusted by ?’
’What in the actual hell...’
Mo Ling’Er was about to lose her mind. Forgetting completely that the area was teeming with Exotic Beasts, she manifested a phoenix-shadow Dharma Aspect as black as ink and shot after Zhao Rui.
Wherever the phoenix shadow passed, a frigid wave washed over the landscape, encasing all the surrounding plants in a layer of hard ice.
Even the Exotic Beasts and insects that failed to get out of the way were turned into ice sculptures, frozen in their confusion.
The commotion Mo Ling’Er was making was too great, and it instantly alerted the island’s apex predators. One after another, monstrously large Exotic Beasts erged from the dense woods and lunged at the pair.
Zhao Rui hadn’t expected the woman to fly into another rage.
He had no choice but to slow down and send her a ntal ssage, "What are you doing now? You start ripping your clothes off, and I’m not allowed to run away? I’m not that kind of person!"
"You..."
Mo Ling’Er was both mortified and furious. ’How dare you twist this to make yourself sound so righteous!’
"You just wait! I’ll drag you back to my tribe and make you my breeding slave!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she beca, and she fired off bolt after bolt of black light pulsing with extre cold toward Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui dodged left and right, weaving through the dense woods.
As the two of them continued their chase while simultaneously dodging attacks from predators, several enormous birds appeared in the distance, flying in their direction.
"Stop!"
Zhao Rui ca to a sudden halt and swatted away Mo Ling’Er’s frigid black light.
Unable to stop in ti, Mo Ling’Er barreled straight toward Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui conjured the Great Suru Buddha Hand and caught her right in its palm.
’She’s so soft... like a little silkworm pupa.’
Mo Ling’Er had been about to dodge. Her Power was no weaker than Zhao Rui’s, but after a mont’s hesitation, she too sensed the oppressive auras approaching from the distance.
Her heart seized, and she quickly stopped struggling.
Zhao Rui seized the opportunity, pulling her close as he dropped them both into the dense forest below. Just like before, he quickly carved out a tree hollow and ducked inside with her.
Because ti was short, the hollow was barely large enough for the two of them.
Not knowing if the newcors were friend or foe, Zhao Rui held his breath and peered intently outside through a gap in the hollow’s wall.
Mo Ling’Er was pressed tightly against his side. As she felt the warmth radiating from his body, her eyes narrowed slightly.
HISS!
A sharp pain shot through his inner thigh. Zhao Rui instantly whipped his head around and glared at Mo Ling’Er.
She refused to let go, giving his flesh another hard twist before turning her head away smugly.
Seeing the fury in his eyes, Mo Ling’Er felt a little guilty and sent him a ntal ssage. "Don’t start anything. The people outside are from the Twelve Barbaric Races. They kill without batting an eye..."
"If you touch again, don’t bla for what happens next."
Zhao Rui shot her a cold glare before turning his head to continue watching the scene outside.
Seeing how furious he was, Mo Ling’Er couldn’t help but pout. ’I didn’t even pinch that hard,’ she thought, both indignant and annoyed. ’If I really wanted to hurt you, I would’ve squeezed your... Hmph! n!’
Zhao Rui couldn’t be bothered to deal with her. His eyes remained glued to the world outside.
A mont later, an imnse pressure washed over them. Five or six massive, otherworldly birds soared across the sky, circling slowly above the dense forest.
The powerful gusts from their enormous wings sent leaves scattering in every direction. All the Exotic Beasts in the forest prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to make a single sound.
"Giri-gulu, gili-gulu!"
A voice suddenly called out from the back of one of the birds. A mont later, five n dressed in strange animal skins and wielding weapons made of bone leaped down from the birds’ backs.
