âBrother Sun, can you bring me with you?â
Zhang Che was stunned the moment he heard this.
âWhy?â Zhang Che couldnât understand Chen Lishan. -Didnât she grow up in the Bei Mei region? She should be used to life around here. Can she really adapt to the new environment?-
âYouâve seen it for yourself. The Chinese are actually very discriminated upon here. If you hadnât displayed your skills intentionally earlier, perhaps weâd be brought back to the police station by now.â Chen Lishan lamented, her palms spread, shrugging.
However, Zhang Che didnât really believe her. He knew that there must be some other reasons. However, they werenât very close, after all, and thus he stopped himself from asking further.
-Although... you could leave this place whenever you wanted. What do you mean for me to bring you along?-
Chen Lishan saw through Zhang Cheâs doubt. She smiled bitterly and continued, âBecause I canât afford the sky shuttle ticket! So I can only ask Brother Sun to bring me with you. Mmm, donât worry, Iâll slowly repay you when I find a job in Hua Xia.â
After a slight pause, Chen Lishan suddenly chuckled, âWhy not, treat it as you keeping me as your mistress? Hahahaha, Iâm just joking. Look at your face...â
Zhang Che nodded, âFine, just slowly pay me back when weâre in Hua Xia.â
As they spoke, the two turned back and bought another ticket, then flagged down another taxi and left.
This time, Zhang Che took the front passenger seat. Not long after the taxi drove off, he glanced at the rearview mirror, and as he expected, that familiar car was tailing behind them from some distance away.
Zhang Che revealed a hint of a smile, not saying anything.
-Could it be because I stayed a night at Angelinaâs place?-
Other than this, Zhang Che truly couldnât think of any other reason. Chen Lishan obviously didnât know that white youngster either, so he couldnât possibly be finding trouble with Zhang Che because of her.
-Just come at me if you dare...-
The ride was one without any conversation. When they arrived at Chen Lishanâs apartment, Zhang Che realized that her home was actually very small. It seemed like she was telling the truth; her financial status was less than ideal.
âTake a rest at the living room first; Iâll go prepare food. Ah, right, I can only fix a few Hua Xia dishes. I hope youâll like them.â After settling Zhang Che down at the living room, Chen Lishan put on her apron and took out some ingredients from her fridge and hurriedly went into the kitchen.
âItâs fine. Iâm not very picky about food.â
Mmm, Zhang Che was indeed not picky for now. He would be satisfied as long as there was something for him to eat.
What a pitiful guy he was. He hadnât had a filling meal ever since he hid himself in Angelinaâs guest room yesterday night and ate a few dozen kilograms of exotic fruits. He was literally shaking from hunger right now.
If someone gave him a piece of raw meat right now, he would even eat it without hesitation!
âLooks like thereâs a need for me to find an opportunity to enter the beast world again. I have to hunt more exotic beasts, prepare some roasted meat and keep them in storage. Otherwise, itâd be really stupid if I starved to death some day...â
On his way back from the beast world this time, due to his meeting with Chen Lishan and the others, he didnât have any opportunities to prepare roasted meat for storage. Now, he was met with the pain of starving.
As he was really too hungry, Zhang Che stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, his eyes wandering out of the windows.
-Tsk, that guy is pretty patient. He followed us all this way and was able to endure making no moves?- Zhang Che guessed that the white youngster saw how powerful the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander was and was feeling apprehensive about doing anything.
Suddenly, Chen Lishanâs voice rang out from the kitchen, âGive me a hand, Brother Sun, the food is ready!â
Zhang Che hurriedly walked over. Other than a few simple dishes, he even saw half a pot of meatball soup. The thick fragrance of meat almost made Zhang Che drool.
âErm, this shouldnât be too much, right? I noticed your appetite is quite big. I was afraid you wouldnât have enough to eat and thus cooked a little more,â Chen Lishan giggled.
-Hmm, this miss is quite attentive!-
Zhang Che smiled, âItâs not too much. Thank you, Lishan!â
In fact, he nearly wept in his heart! -Miss, since you know I have a huge appetite, why didnât you cook even more? Since youâre already leaving, just bring out all your food. Wouldnât it be better?-
The two worked together and brought all the food to the dining table in the living room. Chen Lishan opened a cupboard at the side, smiling, âWant some wine?â
Zhang Che was stunned for a moment. He couldnât help but remember what happened last night, then immediately shook his head, âUgh, better not.â
âHehehe, just a little bit, okay?â Chen Lishan ignored the obvious embarrassment on Zhang Cheâs face. She giggled, âDonât worry, I wonât crawl into your bed in the middle of the night.â
Zhang Che almost wanted to hide under the table.
âCan we not talk about this... oh shit!â
A fiery light shone in the distance. Immediately after, the glass in Chen Lishanâs living room shattered into countless pieces, streaking everywhere. A spinning rocket was flying towards Zhang Che and Chen Lishan at lightning speed!
In the time it took a spark to ignite, a five-colored ray of light shot out between Zhang Cheâs brow and materialized into a huge purple tortoise in mid air, facing the approaching rocket. The huge tortoise opened its mouth wide, swallowing it into its spatial pocket.
âStay right here and donât move; it will be fine!â Zhang Che instructed. Meanwhile, he summoned the Seven Star Silver Beetle armor, enveloping his body, and charged out of the living room.
Chen Lishanâs face was filled with fright as she watched Zhang Che.
She looked at the Purple Crystal Tortoise laying quietly on the ground of the ruined living room. Countless emotions flashed in her eyes.
-Who exactly is this Sun Che? Is he a high-tier beastmaster? Why else would he have so many powerful exotic beasts?-
-Then, when he returns, should I...-
âMy god!â On the roof of a low-rise apartment a hundred-plus meters away, the white youngster dropped the rocket launcher in his hands. He revealed an astonished look as if he had seen a ghost and immediately turned to run without hesitation.
Under the envelopment of the silvery armor, Zhang Cheâs eyes revealed a faint smile in ridicule. -Run, where can you run to?-
Putting all his strength into his legs, Zhang Cheâs running speed reached an astonishing degree. The distance of over a hundred meters was covered in mere seconds.
Seeing the white teenager on the low building trying to escape, a savage-looking purplish-brown long whip suddenly appeared in Zhang Cheâs hand. With a light lash, the long whip hooked onto the top of the building, and Zhang Cheâs entire body was directly pulled up just like that.
âShit! Shit! Shit!â the white youngster was in a panic, cursing out loud as he jumped down from platform to platform. âShit! Shit! Shit!â
At this moment, all he wanted was to run to somewhere with other people around. That damned fellow wouldnât dare to make a move on him then, right?
Alas, he would never have the chance to do that.
A long whip suddenly flew through the air and coiled around his waist, pulling him back.
The barbs on the long whip instantly pierced through the white youngsterâs clothing into his skin, the lethal poison contained in it immediately invaded his body.
âOw...!â a miserable howl rang out before the teenager fainted.
