Wajah Shen Li langsung mengeras seperti dasar mangkuk ketika mendengar pernyataan itu. Selama Shen Tang menghilang, ia sebenarnya menghunimu di samping laki-laki yang tidak dikenal itu, bahkan mereka... berbagi makanan dan tinggal bersama!
Suasana langsung menjadi ketegang, dipenuhi asap!
Shu, seolah tidak menyadari, berbicara dengan nakal, "Saat Miss Shen dan saya bertemu, terasa seperti pertemuan tak terledak. Walaupun hanya lama sebentar bersama, dalam hati saya, ia begitu cantik dan lembut. Menjaganya, merawat kebutannya sehari-hari... itu adalah hormat saya."
Saat berbicara, ia mengintip Shen Li dengan cara yang memancing, tatapan matanya yaitu: Saya merawat pasangaanmu dengan baik, dan saya memang suka padanya!
Shen Li menutup matanya, nada membunuh muncul di sekitarnya. Ia mengepakkan tangan erat!
Shen Tang yang tertangkap di antara dua lelaki, merasa kewalahan, ia mengcopre ringan, menarik tangan Shen Li untuk menarik seekor rubah tertentu dari kekagum, "Di Hari Divinus, memang Shu yang menyelamatkan kami, kalau tidak, kami tidak mampu lepas begitu mudah. Beberapa hari ini, memang benar ada Shu yang merawat dengan penuh. Tetapi kita hanya teman, memang tidak ada lebih dari itu."
"Aku mengerti." Shen Li secara alami merazui cantiknya dan tahu dengan sangat baik bahwa tidak ada yang terjadi di antara mereka.
Of course, bahkan jika terjadi sesuatu, itu pilihan perempuan itu, sebagai pasangan mu, ia tidak akan menghentikan orang itu, paling tidak, ia akan tidak menyukai lelaki liar yang menariknya pasanganannya dan mencari kesempatan untuk mengatasi mereka nanti.
Rather than being jealous, Shen Li was more concerned about the other's threat potential, his doubts growing rather than diminishing. Why could Shu appear at times to help?
He also recalled why he felt Shu was familiar; it was Vine from the former laboratory.
Shen Li directly asked, "Why do you want to help us?"
Shu stroked his chin, shrugging casually, "Perhaps... I have a kind heart?"
Whew!
A fire arrow instantly shot towards him.
Shu dodged hurriedly, yet a corner of his garment was still singed, "Miss Shen, why is your Beast Husband so temperamental? This isn't suited for a Beast Husband, what if one day he bites the master?"
Shen Li snorted coldly, not caring about this incendiary instigation and continued to attack.
The two males instantly engaged in a scuffle.
The surrounding structures that hadn't collapsed also turned into ruins.
While fighting, Shen Li's heart grew heavier, this so-called "Shu," though merely a Deputy bearing a fraction of his main body's power, his strength is not negligible. He could dodge his attacks and even fight equally.
Even more chilling, how strong must his actual power be?
If he cannot be a friend, then he must be a dangerous foe!
Shen Tang hadn't expected them to start fighting directly, the chaotic scene turning into a battlefield.
She stood in the middle, "Let's speak properly! If we keep fighting, it will bring those pursuers from the Divine Hall over!"
They quickly stopped, neither wanting to accidentally harm the female.
Shu appeared somewhat battered, his handsome and elegant face with a faint smile, still with a tone of advice, "Miss Shen, your fox really bites hard."
Shen Li lightly flicked the dust off his sleeve, smiling superficially, "Lord Shu misunderstood, this is just a match of skills. If Lord Shu truly wishes to cooperate with us, sincerity must be shown, I need to ensure you have the strength to collaborate."
Shu tossed over a key, "How's this for sincerity?"
Shen Tang received the key, heart shocked!
Having a Space Ability, her perception of Spatial Energy was more sensitive, and this key was imbued with extremely strong Spatial Energy.
Shu's gaze remained fixed on the female, when Shen Tang looked up at him in shock, their eyes just met.
His lips curved slightly, smiling warmly, "This is a High-level Space Key, it can tear open a corner of the gate between worlds, allowing you to leave Eris Star and return to your original world."
"Meeting Miss Shen is my honor, this gift is for you, hoping it helps."
Upon hearing this, Shen Li also felt a shock, somewhat incredulous.
But he felt the strong energy fluctuations emanating from the key, knowing what Shu said is true.
He didn't trust this person helping them for no reason, surely he had a motive, not necessarily malicious, but precautions were necessary.
At this moment, Shu unexpectedly presented such an important item, even making Shen Li feel shocked—if his only goal was to use them, there was no need to offer such a big bargaining chip.
But how did he obtain this Space Key?
"Of course, it's not omnipotent, the Space Key can only be used once, to take one person, let alone, everything has a price..."
As Shu spoke, he suddenly turned to the tense-faced Shen Li, smiling playfully, "To activate the Space Key, one must sacrifice the life of a Breaking Yuan Rank Beastman."
Shen Li's expression froze, his mood sinking.
Shu walked up to him, leaning closer, breathing lightly, "If that day really comes, are you willing to die for her?"
"I won't use this key, nor do I wish for anyone to die for me."
Shen Tang naturally heard this, she pulled Shen Li's hand and took a step back, looking up at Shu with a slight frown, "I greatly appreciate you giving me such an important item and providing me a way out. However, I will never sacrifice others to survive, and I certainly won't sacrifice my Beast Husband."
She wouldn't abandon her Beast Husband to escape alone, nor trade their lives for hers.
Shu looked at her, his eyes seemed to reveal some helplessness, as if other emotions were mixed, "You're really easily moved... Don't worry, I was just casually speaking, I wouldn't truly separate you from your beloved Beast Husband."
"Xiao Tang'er."
Shen Li came to his senses, looking down at the female who firmly held his hand, even protecting him before her, his heart filled with swelling happiness and a hint of melancholy.
During his time on Eris Star, he's been contemplating ways to leave.
Alone, in the Otherworld, he might not have been so urgent.
But after knowing Shen Tang came, Shen Li fell into a period of confusion and anxiety, he can't let her stay in such a dangerous place, he must let her leave here.
Now finally there's an opportunity.
Shen Li isn't like Xiao Jin, recklessly and unwaveringly willing to die for love, but if it truly reached that point, he thinks, he'd be willing to send her away.
Of course, Shen Li also knows Shen Tang won't act that way and doesn't want to hear him say such, he didn't voice his thoughts, but held the female's soft and warm hand more firmly.
"Perhaps, we might not need this Space Key, there's another way."
The sudden words made the two somber males refocus their gaze on Shen Tang.
Shen Tang also looked at them, continuing, "We came here through the passage left by the Blood Clan. The Blood Clan originally belongs to Eris Star, they migrated to the Beast World Continent a thousand years ago, establishing a new territory. What about their original territory? Could it hide a passage connecting both places?"
Shu stroked his chin, nodding, "What you say makes sense, pity that during the calamity that exterminated the Blood Clan, before leaving, they erased everything related to them, and now no one knows where their territory was."
"Besides, so many years have passed, even if you find the Blood Clan's ancestral land, it probably has long turned to ruin, you might not get the answers you want."
Shen Tang, "No matter what, we must try."
When it came to discussing the Blood Clan, Shen Li tended to be more silent, though he didn't inherit their bloodline, his mother might be the only living Blood Clan person now.
"Xiao Tang'er, how is mother now?"
Since their last meeting, some time has passed. He wonders about Su Jiu's well-being, and whether she's regained her memory.
Shen Tang, "A lot has happened recently, but I always help her recuperate. I checked on her condition in Space a while ago, she's much better."
"I'll take you to see her."
