CHAPTER 71: CHAPTER 69: HAN XING’S KILLING INTENT!

After a dozen minutes, they returned to the familiar entrance, a patch of light appeared before them.

Without a word, Han Xing grabbed Zhang Lianmeng’s wrist and quickened his pace.

Suddenly being pulled by Han Xing, Zhang Lianmeng’s body tightened instantly, almost instinctively wanting to shake off.

But thinking about this man, she had some strange feelings again.

That feeling was indescribable, as if when he held her, there was an inexplicable sense of safety in her heart.

Zhang Lianmeng felt the strength from the wrist, her face blushing.

His hand is so strong...

Being held by this man, unexpectedly brought a sense of security she had never felt before.

Not even her fiancé or her family had given her this feeling.

Just then, the front became bright, they stepped out of the valley, and their vision opened up.

Han Xing immediately released his hand, Zhang Lianmeng’s fantasies were suddenly interrupted, and for a moment, a slight sense of loss arose in her heart.

Han Xing sensed her slightly off color and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

Zhang Lianmeng quickly replied, "Nothing, nothing."

Her voice carried a hint of guilt and shyness.

Han Xing glanced at her, then asked no more.

Han Xing continued, "Let’s go, let’s return to the territory first."

"Mm..."

Zhang Lianmeng lowered her head, agreeing softly.

...

Twenty minutes later, they returned to their territory one after another.

This cave trip had no gains, and they had fought a Leader Monster,

No, it can’t be said there was no gain at all, at least he brought back hundreds of liters of Spiritual Spring Water.

Also, Han Xing obtained two pieces of key information through the task introduction.

The place these survivors reside in is called the Land of the Abandoned Gods, and the native residents of this world seem to shun it like the plague.

To the extent that after this strange bird committed heinous crimes, even the elves dared not rush into the Land of the Abandoned Gods to chase it.

The second piece of information was that the Elf Royal Capital map might be opened subsequently, though exactly when, Han Xing had no clue.

These two pieces of information seemed useless but greatly helped Han Xing understand this unfamiliar world.

At this moment, Zhang Lianmeng still kept her head down, daring not look up at him.

Han Xing didn’t know what this woman was thinking, so he said, "Ask your man to send over the coordinates, I’ll take you there."

"Huh?"

Zhang Lianmeng seemed a bit dazed.

Han Xing continued, "As per the agreement, you finish the task with me and I’ll send you to find him."

After listening, Zhang Lianmeng doubted, "But... wasn’t the task incomplete?"

Han Xing nodded, "Yes, it was incomplete, but this time there were some changes; these unforeseen events were beyond our control, and can’t be blamed on you."

"I’m not a good person, but I do stick to what I say."

Zhang Lianmeng still stood blankly on the spot.

Han Xing urged somewhat speechlessly, "Hurry up."

In Zhang Lianmeng’s heart, there was suddenly a slight feeling of loss.

After a struggle in her thoughts, she said softly, "Alright, I’ll contact him."

Han Xing nodded slightly and waited quietly.

After two minutes, Zhang Lianmeng nervously glanced at Han Xing, "I seem to be unable to reach him..."

Her expression changed, as if she had realized something.

In the morning, Han Xing had already alerted.

That the Divine Whisper, the Two-Star Secret Realm they were challenging, was very difficult, and injuries or deaths were certain.

Zhang Lianmeng’s heart sank, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

She trembled and said, "He... he couldn’t be really in trouble, could he?"

Han Xing rolled his eyes at her, "You’re asking me, how would I know?"

Zhang Lianmeng was now thoroughly confused, even her eyes began to mist.

Looking at Han Xing, she felt so wronged that she was almost going to cry.

Han Xing hurriedly said, "Don’t cry."

"Maybe your man is just fighting in the Secret Realm and doesn’t have time to reply, wait a while and see."

Han Xing tried to say, though he knew this possibility was very slim.

Zhang Lianmeng softly sobbed and then nodded heavily, seemingly stifling her inner grievance.

Han Xing continued, "What are you going to do now? Or should I just leave you behind here? I don’t have time to slowly wait for your man’s reply."

Zhang Lianmeng raised her head, a strange idea suddenly arose in her heart.

With tear-filled eyes, she looked at Han Xing and tentatively asked, "Can I... can I follow you?"

Han Xing was stunned for a moment, then directly shook his head and said, "Wishful thinking, following me and wanting me to be your free babysitter?"

Building courage, Zhang Lianmeng continued to plead, "I... I am very understanding, I can do chores, cook, and when encountering monsters, I can help fight, I won’t drag you down..."

Saying this, her voice again carried a hint of sobbing.

Hearing the conditions this woman offered, Han Xing thought for a bit, but still shook his head.

"No."

Han Xing’s clear refusal made Zhang Lianmeng feel her last hope was erased, her whole self almost unable to stand steadily.

"I’m leaving now, take care of yourself, so farewell."

Ignoring Zhang Lianmeng who was feeling lost behind him, Han Xing returned to his Sky Island Territory.

Just as he was about to maneuver the Sky Island to leave.

Suddenly, from a distance, a shadow swiftly rushed in the sky.

It was incredibly fast, almost crossing several kilometers in just a few seconds, appearing above Han Xing’s territory.

A terrible wind sound suddenly came from the sky overhead.
