Xing Baobao heard what Ye Tianyi said and blushed immediately, lowering her head.
“Ding… Xing Baobao is feeling shy, Drag Points +100,000”
‘Wow! She’s shy? That’s amazing!’ Ye Tianyi exclaimed in his heart.
She was feeling shy because she truly believed in Ye Tianyi’s words!
A normal girl would not believe him, but she did! That was why Ye Tianyi was able to trick her previously. She was too naive, too sheltered to know any better.
Ye Tianyi put his hand on hers to gauge her reaction.
Trembling, Xing Baobao pulled her hand back.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Tianyi asked.
“We can’t.”
Xing Baobao shook her head vigorously and said, “Grandfather will kill you if he finds out.”
“If you don’t tell him, I won’t. So, how would he know?” Ye Tianyi asked and held her tender hand again.
“I…”
“Ding… You’ve successfully harassed a chick, Drag Points +30,000”
Ye Tianyi, “…”
This was not considered as taking advantage of her, right?
Xing Baobao did not pull back this time.
“Do you still blame me?” Ye Tianyi whispered.
Xing Baobao shook her head.
“Then listen to me, follow me when we get to the Thousand-Beast Forest, okay? Listen to me.”
“Alright… I know,” Xing Baobao nodded bashfully.
What a good girl. What a beast Ye Tianyi was, but why was he getting a sense of Déjà vu?
Ye Tianyi had no other intentions. He could not help but want to assuage her fears. He truly had no intention of taking advantage of her. All he wanted was to console her and to make her feel better.
Very quickly they reached the outskirts of the Thousand-Beast Forest. They got down from the car, took their backpacks and their belongings, and stared at the Thousand-Beast Forest that was in front of them.
The forest was dense and boundless, filled with mystery. It made the explorers feel very small, deterring them from moving forward. Cries of birds and insects filled the air. There were traces of small animals, and there were even some tracks of demon beasts. The Thousand-Beast Forest looked like any ordinary forest, but there were rumors that the Three Great Demon Gods lived in the middle of the Thousand-Beast Forest, which looked like an entirely different world. However, nobody had ever ventured there before.
“Brothers, this is the Thousand-Beast Forest in which demon beasts reside. We move forward together. Remember not to make too much noise, and try to avoid them as much as possible. We’re here to look for some Purple Honeysuckle. I’ll go first, you follow after me, and remember, the Thousand-Beast Forest is a dangerous place. Please, be on guard and pay close attention to even the slightest movement around you,” Shang Yu said.
“Roger that!”
“Brother Tianyi, Xing’er will protect you,” Xing Baobao said earnestly to Ye Tianyi.
Although she was young, adorable, naive, and delicate, it was not easy being the granddaughter of the headmaster. She must have already attained the Spirit Forging stage but hid it from Shang Yu, seeing as how Shang Yu mentioned being the only person in the team who was at the Spirit Forging stage.
In her mind, Ye Tianyi had much to learn, so she wanted to protect Ye Tianyi!
Ye Tianyi smiled.
“Aren’t you afraid of what your grandfather’s going to say?” Ye Tianyi asked and laughed.
“Grandfather won’t find out,” Xing Baobao mumbled.
Ye Tianyi was humored. How adorable.
The appearance of Xing Baobao gave him an idea. He was worried about completing the Scumbag System mission, but Xing Baobao seemed attainable, right? At the very least, he could attain one girl. Then, there would not be any mission punishment. He was relieved.
“Don’t go home tonight, alright?” Ye Tianyi asked and laughed.
Woosh—
She was blushing again.
“I… I…”
She was unsure.
“I was just joking! Let’s go into the forest.”
Ye Tianyi did not dare to be careless in the Thousand-Beast Forest. He must protect the kind and naive little girl. He had an ace up his sleeves. That was the only reason he dared to come here in the first place! Of course, he would also come here without the ace for Ye Xian’er’s matter.
Everyone proceeded into the Thousand-Beast Forest. Ye Tianyi and Xing Baobao were at the back, and the handsome tanned-skin guy was in front of Ye Tianyi. Everyone was laughing and joking in the car, but he didn’t say a word.
“Attention everyone, the Purple Honeysuckle doesn’t grow in areas that have a lot of moisture and little sunlight. Please, take note!” Shang Yu said.
“Yes!”
It had been 20 minutes. They were a lucky bunch, as they came across a demon beast that simply ran away when it saw them. Unfortunately, they had no such luck in finding the Purple Honeysuckle just yet.
Woosh—
A shadow flashed by from behind a shrub on their left, and a purple shadow came rushing towards the person on Ye Tianyi’s left, Wang Xuchao!
The shadow was too fast. Wang Xuchao was only at the Bright Aperture stage, which was not very high. He was not able to dodge.
“Careful!”
Ye Tianyi responded quickly, activating his Wind Attribute power which boosted his speed. He went straight for the shadow.
Bam—
In a split second, Ye Tianyi landed a flying kick on the shadow.
In the instance of an emergency, everybody stopped in their tracks, ready with their weapons.
“It’s the Demonized Raccoon Dog! Careful! There must be a pack of Demonized Raccoon Dogs nearby!” Shang Yu shouted as he caught sight of the demon beast.
The Demonized Raccoon Dog was about the size of three cats. It had a charcoal-black body, a long skinny tail, very scary-looking green eyes, and extraordinarily sharp claws!
Demonized Raccoon Dogs—agile demon beasts—traveled in packs and were usually of the Bright Aperture stage. Best at hiding up in the trees and in shrubs, they attack their prey with lightning speed, and they love attacking their prey by their throats, killing them in an instant.
Swoosh—
At this moment, it leaped. A sudden blue streak of light hit the Demonized Racoon Dog, attacking it with a powerful strike. It tried to escape the attack, but as there was a great gap between their stages, it failed and was shocked to death by lightning!
“Be careful, everybody! There are Demonized Raccoon Dogs nearby, so please, protect your throats! It’s their favorite part to attack!” Shang Yu warned.
Everybody shielded their necks unconsciously.
“Brother Tianyi, your speed…”
Xing Baobao looked at Te Tianyi in shock.
“We’ll talk later. We’re in a battle now!”
“Mmm!”
Xing Baobao drew her sword, while Ye Tianyi was barehanded.
As expected, many pairs of blue eyes started appearing. About 20 Demonized Raccoon Dogs had surrounded them, inching their way closer, slowly approaching the crowd as they waited for the best moment to attack.
“Be careful, these are Demonized Raccoon Dogs from the Bright Aperture stage. They shouldn’t be too big of a threat! Fight!”
“Yes!”
