Wu Yue pouted. "I’ve been suspicious from the way you talk, and today Teng Kun nearly ntioned his ’eighty-ter broadsword.’ I’d have to be a real idiot not to know by now."
"One can pick up on a few things from your everyday speech."
With that, she turned to the Beastman beside her. "You must have known my identity for a while now, haven’t you? Before we went to the Black Wolf Tribe, the way Teng Qian and Teng Kun looked at was very strange.
Teng Kun looked like he was about to co ask sothing, but you dragged him off and gave him a beating."
Yuan Lang rubbed his nose. "I was just worried you’d be embarrassed."
Then, he raised an eyebrow. "What about you? What was your identity before coming to this world?"
Wu Yue raised an eyebrow. "You first this ti."
Yuan Lang stretched his arms, and a colossal, chilling killing aura instantly perated the small cabin.
His eyes, which were always so gentle and bright when he looked at her, now seed exceptionally cold and detached.
Perhaps worried he might frighten Wu Yue, he withdrew the aura in the next mont.
Wu Yue stared at the Beastman beside her, completely gobsmacked. ’Holy crap!’
’Don’t tell this guy was an assassin or sothing before he ca here.’
’For a corporate drone like to transmigrate and still run into such a dangerous professional... My legs are turning to jelly for no reason.’
But while she could be terrified on the inside, she absolutely could not appear weak on the outside. When it ca to putting on a front, Wu Yue was an expert.
Seeing she wasn’t intimidated by the aura he’d just released, the corner of Yuan Lang’s lip curled into a slight smile. "I am the National Guardian General of the Southern Country. Teng Qian and Teng Kun are my two Deputy Generals. We were on a mission to burn the enemy’s grain supply when we were forced off a cliff. When we awoke, we found ourselves here."
Wu Yue: "...A General? Did you fight your wars with airplanes and cannons, or with daggers and spears?"
The corner of Yuan Lang’s mouth twitched. "We rode warhorses into battle, of course. What are these... airplanes? Our weapons were standard-issue military models. My own weapon is a long spear."
’He’s from ancient tis!’
Wu Yue’s eyes lit up instantly. "How long is your spear?"
Yuan Lang gave her a look filled with aning. "Very, very long..."
Wu Yue: "...Can we please have a normal conversation?"
Yuan Lang raised an eyebrow. "I’ve told you my side. Isn’t it your turn? Then, we can get back to discussing the length of my spear."
Wu Yue shot the Beastman an irritated glare, thinking to herself, ’Is this guy just pulling my leg? Aren’t people from ancient tis supposed to be reserved and demure?’
’Why is the one I ended up with so shaless?’
"Host, this System was monitoring Yuan Lang’s heartbeat. It was completely normal while he was speaking."
Wu Yue sighed. "System, you’re too naive. Haven’t you ever heard of people who can lie without batting an eye?"
System: "..."
’In that case, I’ll be taking my leave. Please, continue.’
"I co from a world several thousand years in your future. We have airplanes and cannons there.
The airplane I ntioned is a mode of transport that can also be used for combat. It can carry people high up into the sky.
Cannons are also extrely powerful weapons. A single bomb can destroy an entire city."
’As for nuclear bombs...’
’...I’d better not ntion those.’
"A world thousands of years in the future?"
The Beastman’s pupils shrank. ’So she’s not even from the sa world as ?’
"Then how did you co here?"
At the ntion of this, Wu Yue grew a bit somber. "I wasn’t feeling well, so I went to see a doctor. I took a nap, and when I woke up, I was here, in the cave of my previous tribe."
