Hei Wen Zhu hurriedly covered Zi Yan Yue with a quilt. He thought Zi Yingjun will retrieve her this afternoon but he came this morning. With a faint light, his clothes returned, decent enough to face the intruder. Zi Yingjun strode with heavy steps. A murderous aura from them spreads across the room. Zi Yan Yue's eyebrows knitted in discomfort. She slowly opened her eyes but seeing herself naked made her shocked. The last thing she remembered, she drank the medicine Zi Yingjun handed to her. She looked ahead to see Hei Wen Zhu sitting calmly on the bed.
"Ah Yue!" Zi Yingjun's angry voice broke her dazed state. He retrieved the Bleak Night Sword from his space ring and purple lights kept flashing like lightnings from the blade. "Dress up and leave. I'll kill this bastard."
"Hmph. You're such a rogue. Shouldn't you mind your words and actions in front of her?" Hei Wen Zhu stood up. He took out a lash from his space ring. Since Zi Yingjun have the same rank as him, he can win this.
"Ah Yue, dress up!" he impatiently shouted. Zi Yan Yue choked and hurriedly went to find her clothes. Her mind is still in a mess, how did she lose her clothes anyway? Why is Hei Wen Zhu on the same bed as her? What exactly happened?!
Not far from the simple forest, Jin Xuan Meng and Jin Lixing finished killing a spirit beast and collected the soul core. Jin Lixing reached to pick it up when the soul core rolled. Her eyebrows furrowed. The ground shook in a sudden.
"Earthquake?" Jin Xuan Meng turned to the rumbling's direction. She went to check what is happening. Her eyes widened to see hundreds of large carnivorous spirit beasts running straight to them. The average trees in the forest were easily broken down by every spirit beasts. "Jin Lixing, quick! Let's go to the other side and find Zi Yingjun's camp!"
"Ah? Alright!" Jin Lixing knew something urgent happened. The other side of the forest is a secluded jungle with larger trees. Why do they have to look for Zi Yingjun's camp? Nevertheless, she followed Jin Xuan Meng.
Bam!
Zi Yan Yue flinched to hear that sound. She looked to the side and the wall was broken while Zi Yingjun stood calmly by the door. It was obvious he just threw out Hei Wen Zhu. Zi Yan Yue bitterly clenched her fist when she noticed that the bed has no stain. She removed the quilt and bedsheets but there is no red hue on it. Realization struck her that Hei Wen Zhu made her believe they did it but he can't bear to literally extend his claws on her.
"Yingjun, stop." she blocked his way when he is about to continue towards the broken wall. Zi Yan Yue pointed to the bed and saw his expression ease. "Nothing happened. He- he just made it up. Let's leave and focus on the mission first."
Zi Yingjun lifted a cold smile. He had sensed a rumbling sound nearby through his divine sense. "En." without hesitation, he grabbed her wrist and left. Zi Yingjun looked down to the fainted figure of Hei Wen Zhu before sending a meaningful glance to the paralyzed Hei Si Yin.
"Ehm? What's that scent?" Zi Yan Yue curiously asked as they got deeper into the forest.
"We're going to the camp first. Who knew what that p*****t did to you so let me treat you for a while there." Zi Yingjun chose not to answer. He brought her back to their camp and the two people he expected are already waiting for him.
"Master Meng? Miss Jin?" Zi Yan Yue was astounded to see them there. Why are they here?
"Zi Yingjun, the area is no longer secured. A rampaging horde of spirit beasts are going that way." Jin Xuan Meng quickly said and pointed to where they just came from. Her gold eyes became dark when she realized Zi Yingjun is too calm. It may be normal for Jin Lixing and Zi Yan Yue to see him calm since they are on top of a sturdy big tree but for Jin Xuan Meng who had witnessed and suffered under his white-lotus-like scheming, she knew he has something to do with this.
"There? B-but, the Hei Clan candidates are over there and...Yingjun fought them." the young girl hesitated what to say. Though Hei Wen Zhu did such thing, he didn't touch her or did something far terrible and he had treated her with honest feelings. Moreover, she is worried for Hei Si Yin to get involved too. Zi Yan Yue is unaware that Hei Si Yin had targeted her in the first place. "Yingjun, can we go back?"
"No!" he sternly said. Jin Xuan Meng raised a brow while Jin Lixing coughed lightly. It was like he is unwilling to part with her. Jin Xuan Meng snorted in ridicule. This Zi Yingjun is now seducing his cousin? Hoh! He's simply a skinless person!
"Yingjun, come on! If they die, the four of us will be blamed later! If they also die, the matter a while ago will be exposed! I don't want Brother Wen to know it and I know you also don't want my reputation to be ruined!" Zi Yan Yue became stubborn. She can only do this to force him.
"Hey, enough drama." Jin Xuan Meng interrupted. She is in the sixth rank and she can feel the qi around them getting more extreme which meant powerful spirit beasts are now getting closer to their direction. "I'll go check on them. Zi Yingjun, wanna go?"
"Master Meng, I can go with you." Jin Lixing openly disagreed. Previously, she has been doubting what is between Zi Yingjun and Jin Xuan Meng. She looked up to meet Zi Yingjun's curving purple eyes as if hinting something. This made her stumped that his feminine features matched the little girl Jin Xuan Meng forced. Could it be, it was Zi Yingjun's hidden sister and Zi Yingjun as the brother must be annoyed of Jin Xuan Meng for getting close to his sister?
"Well, I won't help you if you get trampled." Zi Yingjun said to Jin Xuan Meng after getting Jin Lixing misunderstand their relationship. After all, his name in front of other's perspective is now clean while Jin Xuan Meng remained a boy interested with unripe girls.
