1625 A Small Lesson! (2)
They knew that Isah had evil intentions; it wasnât just pure love.
The outcome was a lesson for him.
âLetâs go. Donât think too much. Lin Chuhan isnât someone you can lay your hands on,â said Xue Fei, patting his shoulder.
Howeverâ¦
âPfft!â Isah vomited a mouthful of blood and stumbled.
Everyone was appalled.
Du Wa quickly grabbed him and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
âIâm fine.â Isah waved a feeble hand and straightened his body with difficulty. âIâll go back first.â
He stumbled his way out before anyone could reply.
Some people noticed his eyes, filled with emotions; there was fear and regret. He seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying.
âDid that person do it?â someone whispered.
Du Wa swallowed saliva and said fearfully, âI think so. Who else could it be?â
âLooks like the guy isnât completely oblivious to our situation,â said Xue Fei with a bitter smile. âNo wonder. Someone with his status would never let Lin Chuhan venture out alone without any protection.â
âIsah brought this upon himself. Heâs always playing dirty tricks and now heâs finally met someone he shouldnât provoke. Even if he didnât do anything significant, itâs enough to make him fall into an abyss.â Du Wa shook his head. âStill, Earl Wangâs strength is truly terrifying. We didnât even notice when he acted.â
âIs this the might of the first place holder in the League of Talents? That was scary. Iâm afraid he could kill us before we even had time to react,â said the others in horror.
âLetâs go. We canât do anything,â Xue Fei said, âSince he didnât kill Isah in the end, he probably just wanted to give him a lesson. I donât think heâll pursue the matter again.â
âYes.â Du Wa nodded and reprimanded the planetary stage warriors behind him. âSee that? Itâs better to focus on cultivating properly, instead of coming up with nasty ideas. You may run into someone we canât handle otherwise.â
âYes!â The group replied in unison.
â¦
Wang Teng discarded the small episode with the Battle Hearth Mercenary Team from his mind. As for Isah, he just gave him a small lesson.
Right from the start, he noticed the fellowâs strange eyes when looking at Lin Chuhan.
He too noticed how the rest were teasing the latter moments before.
Why is he having thoughts about my lady? Is he tired of living?
He didnât act overtly because she was present. He controlled himself.
âWhen did you come back?â Lin Chuhan asked.
âAbout three days ago,â Wang Teng smiled.
âHow long are you planning to stay?â
âDo you want me to stay a few more days?â said the hero with a smile.
âI want you to stay for a year, can you?â Lin Chuhan rolled her eyes.
âReally? Looks like you really missed me and donât want me to leave,â he teased.
Lin Chuhan turned her head and flicked her hair as she replied stubbornly, âMe? No way!â
âIn that case, Iâll leave tomorrow.â He laughed again.
âYouâre only staying for one day?â She was shocked.
âHahahaâ¦â The young earl burst out laughing. He nudged her, âYou canât bear to part with me.â
âYou⦠hmph!â She snorted, realizing he was just playing around.
âAll right, all right. The Stellar Academies gave me one month; I can stay for a few more days,â Wang Teng quickly replied.
Lin Chuhan didnât say anything but her eyes were glowing.
The hero noticed her little burst of excitement but he didnât expose her. He just smiled.
âLetâs have something good to eat,â Wang Teng said.
âI want you to cook for me,â she replied.
âYour standards are quite high!â He smiled and looked at her.
âWhy? You canât satisfy this request?â Lin Chuhan flashed him with puppy eyes. âI canât even eat properly while Iâm on missionsâ¦â
âAll right, I get it!â he quickly interjected. âI agree.â
âGreat, weâre settled then.â She was delighted.
They reached the manor soon after.
The young girl was just back from a trip, so she was a bit unkempt. Some freshening up was in order.
Wang Teng stood in the main hall and spoke to a certain empty spot next to him.
âAn Lan, itâs been a while.â
The air became distorted and a figure in black cloak gradually manifested. He removed his cape, revealing the mechanical face underneath.
âYouâre getting stronger. I didnât expect you to notice me.â An Lan stared at Wang Teng in surprise.
âThis is nothing. Have you forgotten about my space talent?â The latter asked.
âThatâs true.â The other fellow rubbed his head.
âThank you for your efforts during this period,â said the hero, his gratitude evident.
âItâs nothing. I didnât do anything. I just went out to gain more experience,â An Lan replied. âThose mercenaries are quite cautious. They would rarely be in any danger, unless there was an accident.â
âBeing cautious is good. Lin Chuhan has matured greatly.â Wang Teng nodded.
âIndeed. She has improved greatly, and is now a competent mercenary. Sheâll be able to explore the universe on her own when she gets stronger,â the other said.
âIâm just afraid of accidents.â The hero shook his head.
âOh right, I made some gains when I followed them to a planet,â said the covert expert all of a sudden.
âWhat was it?â Wang Teng was surprised.
âAn ore mine!â The former smiled. âIt has materials I need to advance to the universe stage.â
âReally?â The young earl was astounded.
Those materials had to be rare and extraordinary if they could help the guy advance. He never expected An Lan to gain such valuable resources by following his fiancée.
âOf course!â An Lan said.
Wang Teng couldnât help but exclaim, âGosh! Did you step on dog shit?â
âDonât you know how to speak properly?â The expertâs face turned black.
âHahaha. In any case, congratulations.â Wang Teng laughed. âWhen can you make your advance to the universe stage?â
âNot so soon. I will need tens of thousands of different materials; some of them are special and hard to find. I was lucky this time.â
The Mecha Raceâs advancements were special. Besides enlightenment and Force, they needed to absorb various special ores and metals.
This was just like a humanâs body had to be strengthened, along with exposure to Enlightenment and Force, or great problems could arise.
âTell me the materials you need. Iâll help you look for them,â the hero said.
âHaha, I was waiting for you to say that.â An Lan chuckled. He didnât reject the offer.
Anyway, he followed the young earl because he hoped to gain more access to cultivation resources so he could grow stronger.
The Mecha Raceâs advancement required many rare materials and he was poor. Following Wang Teng was the best choice.
The expert transmitted a list of the materials required.
Wang Teng glanced through the names and was surprised. The rarity of those things exceeded his expectations.
He nodded and stored the list âAll right, Iâll get them for you if I see them.â
At the same time, he reminded Round Ball to take note and remind him if they ever came across any of the materials.
âIâll get out of your way then. Your fiancée is out.â An Lan smiled and disappeared on the spot.
Approaching footsteps could be heard. Lin Chuhan was once again before Wang Teng, looking fresh and rejuvenated. She was clad in a long white dress that enhanced her graceful figure.
