Chapter 330: You Guys Are Having So Much Fun, Why Not Bring Me Along?
In the dormitory.
Song Yuting and Li Xin made identical gestures at the same time, and finally, their index fingers touched.
Immediately, a purple magic circle appeared in midair, shooting out two beams of light that entered the backs of their hands.
Chen Ye was very surprised.
So this was a summoner's magic?
"The team contract is complete. Next, let's head to the Void Realm!" Li Xin said.
Song Yuting nodded, a smile appearing on her pretty face as she said with anticipation, "I hope we can kill more Cyclopes this time!"
Hearing this,
Li Xin sneered inwardly.
When you see a Cyclops, just don't wet your pants and embarrass yourself.
In the next moment,
A purple teleportation array appeared beneath the three of them.
Then, all three disappeared from where they stood.
...
Void Realm.
First Layer!
It resembled a primeval forest.
Tall trees surrounded them. The trunks were as thick as water tanks, covered in vines, and the dense canopy almost completely blocked the light, making the surroundings dim and eerie.
Song Yuting, just arriving here, immediately tensed up.
She had long heard that the Void Realm was dangerous, but she hadn't expected the environment to be so sinister.
Still, Song Yuting forced herself not to hide behind her big cat.
Although she tried to appear strong, her trembling hands betrayed her.
Seeing this, Li Xin gave a contemptuous smile and immediately summoned her own summoning beast.
A rift opened in the air, and a massive python over five meters long slithered out, looking extremely frightening.
Strangely, the python had four limbs, and its tail made a rustling sound.
This was Li Xin's summoning beast: Rattletail!
Once Rattletail appeared, its vertical pupils locked onto Song Yuting and the giant panda, its tongue flickering out menacingly.
"Li Xin, I have to say, every time I see your Rattletail, it's really scary..." Song Yuting said weakly.
"Really?"
Li Xin walked up to Rattletail, raised her hand, and stroked its head, smiling. "I just think Rattletail looks mighty and impressive!"
Rattletail cooperated by raising its head to allow Li Xin to pet it.
As soon as Li Xin touched its head, the beast closed its eyes in apparent enjoyment, and even a certain part of it swelled up.
Chen Ye's expression immediately turned strange.
Over the past half month, he had heard rumors that some summoners played very dirty, preferring their summoning beasts over the opposite sex, engaging in all kinds of beastly acts at home...
"Yuting, beasts like Rattletail are what real summoning beasts should be."
Li Xin glanced at Chen Ye, her disdain clear in her eyes. "That useless big cat of yours should have been gotten rid of long ago."
Hearing this,
Chen Ye didn't mind much.
But Song Yuting's pretty face darkened.
Still, since she needed Li Xin's help for now, she suppressed her anger and changed the subject: "Li Xin, let's not waste time. Let's go find the Cyclopes quickly!"
"Don't be so hasty," Li Xin said calmly. "Each layer of the Void Realm is a separate world. It's so vast that just wandering around won't work. We have to attract the monsters."
Song Yuting was obviously stunned.
She remembered the teachers had said Cyclopes were very dangerous, and it was best to pick off solitary ones. Who would deliberately lure monsters?
But with no experience herself and Li Xin being obviously more seasoned, she could only follow Li Xin's lead.
"How do we attract them?" Song Yuting asked.
Li Xin looked around and said, "This environment isn't good. If too many Cyclopes come at once, we could get blocked or surrounded... Let's find another place first."
Song Yuting, disliking the gloomy environment herself, nodded in agreement.
After that, the two of them, along with their summoning beasts, walked toward the edge of the forest.
...
Meanwhile.
Two young men were also traveling together through the forest.
One of them was none other than the "Young Master An" whom Li Xin had met earlier that day.
"Cousin, is that little bitch from the Song family really coming here tonight?" the other young man asked.
Young Master An replied, "Definitely. The information is absolutely reliable!"
Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but ask, "Is she brain-dead? Coming to such a dangerous place? What's she going to kill monsters with? That circus-worthy giant panda?"
Young Master An laughed. "Cousin, you don't know. The Song family father and son are brilliant, but the daughter is completely spoiled. Aside from her looks, her head is full of mush! She actually thought she could bribe her best friend with a gemstone to help her hunt monsters."
The cousin immediately said, "There's actually someone that stupid? In the Void Realm, you can't even fully trust your own brother, let alone a best friend!"
Realizing he had misspoken, the cousin quickly added, "Of course, my admiration for you, Cousin, is as endless as a flowing river. Naturally, I trust you."
Young Master An didn't seem to mind whether his cousin truly trusted him or not. He smiled.
He had only brought his cousin along to have someone to run errands anyway.
"Cousin, you're right. The Song Duke's daughter is that dumb! She's so stupid she doesn't even realize her best friend has long been bought off by me!"
Young Master An sneered. "Since she's walking right into the trap, how can we possibly let such a good opportunity slip by? I really want to see what expression the Song Duke will have when he hears his daughter died in the Void Realm!"
The cousin then asked, "Cousin, I heard the Song Duke's daughter is really stunning, right? They call her the Pearl of the Capital?"
Young Master An licked his lips and nodded. "That's right. Dumb as she is, her looks and figure are impeccable."
The cousin immediately said, "Cousin, can I have some fun with her before we kill her?"
Young Master An gave him a sideways glance.
The cousin quickly added, "Don't misunderstand, Cousin! You get the first taste, of course. I just want to have a little sample of the Pearl of the Capital..."
Only then did Young Master An nod in satisfaction.
Thinking of the chance to torment the woman who had haunted his dreams, a surge of excitement filled his heart.
"By the way, Cousin!" the cousin asked again. "This place is huge. How are we supposed to find her?"
"Relax. Since I brought you here, I'm fully prepared!" Young Master An said with a smile. "We're not far. Someone will send a signal soon."
...
About ten minutes later.
Li Xin finally led Song Yuting out of the forest and onto an open clearing at the edge.
The visibility here was relatively good. There was only grass around, but the overall lighting was still a bit gloomy, as if sunlight couldn't reach this place.
"Let's set up here!"
Li Xin stopped walking and suddenly asked a strange question: "Yuting, do you like it here?"
Song Yuting was stunned, not understanding what Li Xin meant.
Before she could say anything, Li Xin pulled out a signal flare on her own.
Then,
Li Xin lit the fuse, and the signal flare shot into the sky.
"Boom!"
The flare exploded in midair like fireworks.
Seeing this scene,
Song Yuting finally realized something was wrong.
"Li Xin, didn't you say you were going to lure the Cyclopes? Why are you firing a signal flare?"
The principle behind signal flares was simple, similar to fireworks, and this world had long possessed them.
Li Xin smiled and said, "Who says a signal flare can't attract Cyclopes?"
That did make some sense.
Song Yuting couldn't find words to refute her.
She hoped she was just overthinking it, though a vague sense of unease rose in her heart.
"Yuting, don't worry, just wait a moment," Li Xin said.
Hearing this, Song Yuting could only hesitate and wait.
A short while later,
Young Master An and his follower cousin seemed to spot the signal and quickly approached.
Seeing Young Master An's appearance, Song Yuting's unease grew even stronger.
This Young Master An had once confessed to her, but Song Yuting had mercilessly rejected him. Combined with the political differences between their two families, they had been at odds ever since.
Especially last year, when an accident occurred and Song Zhichang's summoning beast accidentally killed the Marquis An's summoning beast...
Because of this, the two families had become sworn enemies.
"An Shigao? What are you doing here?"
Song Yuting couldn't help but ask.
While speaking, she tugged at Li Xin and whispered, "Li Xin, let's go."
Unexpectedly,
Li Xin didn't leave. Instead, she shook off Song Yuting's hand and looked at her like she was watching a clown, her gaze full of mockery.
"Song Yuting, you really are incredibly stupid!"
An Shigao laughed heartily and said, "Haven't you figured it out yet? Tonight, you're going to die here!"
Song Yuting wasn't truly foolish, just naïve.
When she saw Li Xin fling her hand away and stand there gloating with folded arms, she finally understood.
"Li Xin, that signal flare earlier... you used it to bring them here?" Song Yuting's pretty face turned pale, her voice stammering: "W-why? Why would you do this? Aren't we best friends? I even gave you the Tear of the Ocean..."
Hearing this, Li Xin sneered coldly: "You thought a worthless gemstone could buy me into being your dog, risking my life for you? Do you know what I hate most about you, Song Yuting? It's that arrogant way you always act high and mighty just because of your family! It's disgusting!"
"You want to know why I betrayed you? It's simple! You always called me your best friend, but when I asked you for a favor—to help get my father out of prison—you refused without even hesitating!"
Song Yuting's face grew even paler as she stubbornly argued: "But... Uncle Li killed someone!"
Li Xin said indifferently, "Killed someone? Has your father killed fewer people? Why isn't he rotting in a dungeon?"
Song Yuting suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Their values were completely different.
In Song Yuting's view, killing innocents was a major crime.
Her father's killings were against enemy nations' foes—how could that be the same?
But in Li Xin's eyes, her own father's killing was nothing worth mentioning.
"Nothing to say now? Tch!"
Li Xin snorted disdainfully.
An Shigao stepped forward, smiling as he said, "Song Yuting, what do you think your father's reaction will be when he finds out tomorrow that you died here? Plenty of people are watching him closely, just waiting for him to make a mistake!"
Hearing this,
Song Yuting's pretty face turned even paler, completely bloodless.
Seeing this, An Shigao grew even more delighted and slowly approached her.
As he walked, he said, "Song Yuting, you're going to die here anyway. If you cooperate and let me have my fun, I'll give you a quick death."
His cousin chuckled wickedly and began closing in from another side.
Just as Song Yuting tried to back away, Li Xin's summoning beast viciously blocked her retreat.
Instantly,
Despair filled Song Yuting's face.
She looked at Chen Ye and murmured, "Big Cat... run..."
Just then,
A disturbance sounded from the forest nearby.
Moments later, two giants, each about three meters tall, seemed to spot the group and began approaching.
These giants had extremely muscular builds and resembled humans somewhat in appearance. They walked upright on two legs, wielding clubs, and were covered in thick body hair like wild men.
The most eye-catching feature was that each giant had only one massive eye dominating half its face.
They were the Void Realm's first layer's most common monsters: Cyclopes!
Seeing two Cyclopes heading their way, An Shigao's expression remained calm. He casually ordered his cousin and Li Xin:
"You two, take care of those monsters first."
With their summoning beasts, handling two Cyclopes would not be difficult.
The cousin grumbled but stepped forward reluctantly.
Li Xin said, "Young Master An, this wasn't part of our deal..."
An Shigao glanced at Li Xin and said coldly, "I'll have my father make sure your father's criminal records are completely wiped clean."
Upon hearing this,
Li Xin's face immediately lit up with joy. "Wishing Young Master An a good time!"
With that, she charged at the Cyclopes.
An Shigao gave a cold sneer and turned his lustful gaze back to Song Yuting, moving closer.
"Stay back!"
Song Yuting suddenly pulled out a dagger and pressed it against her neck. "If you come any closer, I'll kill myself!"
Seeing her threatening herself, An Shigao only laughed loudly: "Go ahead! I don't care whether you're dead or alive! But you'd better stab yourself accurately—don't mess up your pretty face! Otherwise, I'll strip you naked and throw you to those Cyclopes!"
"Song Yuting, have you heard? The Cyclopes here love human girls the most—especially pretty ones like you. They'll play with you until your body rots, then swallow you whole!"
At these words,
Song Yuting trembled violently in fear.
Chen Ye shook his head at the side.
These people were truly twisted!
No wonder he always felt out of place with them. frёewebnoѵēl.com
It turned out he simply wasn't twisted enough.
Seeing Song Yuting scared to death, Chen Ye figured it was almost time.
Surely, after this lesson, Song Yuting wouldn't be this naïve again.
Next,
It was time for him to step in!
In the next instant,
Chen Ye swiftly rushed to Song Yuting's side and slapped the dagger from her hand.
This silly girl had actually been about to kill herself!
