A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 639 The person you're looking for is him?
"Master Patriarch!"

The general turned and saluted respectfully, and the entire army dispersed to both sides, making way for a path.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man in his forties, exceptionally tall and robust, exuding an aura of authority and power.

He wore a golden mask that covered half his face, with a golden lightning bolt pattern imprinted between his brows. Despite his advanced age, his features remained sharp and handsome, and his golden eyes were captivating; even a casual glance from them brought a heavy sense of oppression!
Yin Luo and Jiang Mu both turned pale, their legs trembled, and an instinctive desire to submit surged within them.

Even Yue Lin frowned slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing across his usually aloof and indifferent face.

But his back remained straight as he looked at the middle-aged man who was slowly walking out of the crowd, and bowed with his hand on his chest, saying, "Greetings, Patriarch Shouhe. I did not expect you to come in person today."

The newcomer was none other than Shou He, the patriarch of the Shoubao clan!
Shouhe narrowed his golden eyes, scanning the shelter before him, which was clearly the result of a fierce battle. He spoke in a deep voice, “The escape of the escaped convict from the restricted area was an oversight by our clan and a dereliction of duty on my part! I will not allow that scourge to remain in the world. Therefore, I have personally led men to capture the convict and will bring him to justice!”

"Young Master Yue Lin, please do not interfere with our clan's investigation."

Seeing that Yue Lin and his group were still standing in front of the city gate and showed no intention of making way, a deep meaning flashed in Shou He's eyes.

He took a step forward, and a powerful aura poured out like a tidal wave. Yin Luo and the others couldn't withstand it and knelt on the ground.

Yue Lin's expression remained calm, but his pale face and clenched hands revealed the terrifying strength of this Leopard Clan patriarch!
"Young Master Yue Lin, do you perhaps intend to obstruct this patriarch from capturing the fugitive?" Shou He asked slowly.

Yue Lin is of noble status, and even Shou He cannot easily touch him. However, in terms of seniority and strength, Yue Lin is ultimately a junior, and even if he wanted to stop him now, he probably couldn't.

Under pressure, Yue Linqiang had no choice but to step back and respectfully said, "Since it's about apprehending a fugitive, we naturally wouldn't dare to stop you. However, since we happen to be here today, we can lend you a hand and work together to capture the fugitive."

Shouhe glanced at Yuelin, his brows furrowing slightly.

He felt that the young master of the Moon Wolf Clan was behaving strangely, but he didn't care about the other party's thoughts. He simply responded and led his troops into the shelter, which had been reduced to ruins.

Yue Lin, with a tense expression, quickly followed.

Yin Luo and the others hurriedly chased after them.

Damn it!
Xunfu is still with that fugitive, so please don't let her get involved!
We need to find a chance to bring her out quickly!
Even the head of the Leopard Clan has personally intervened; this is a mess she can't get involved in!
"Surround the entire area and conduct a thorough search!"

Thousands of troops surrounded the entire shelter and the surrounding area, making it impossible for even a bird to fly out.

Shen Tang pulled Jin to hide in a secluded little house.

The exterior of the house had been bombed into ruins, with heavy stone slabs pressing down on it, leaving only narrow hiding spaces, making it inconspicuous among the broken walls and rubble.

A sliver of light shone through the cracks in the stone, and Shen Tang pressed herself against the wall, peering out through the gaps.

The area ahead is now surrounded by a large army.

Shen Tang gritted her teeth, her heart pounding like a drum.

Fortunately, she had exchanged two concealment talismans from the system space beforehand and affixed them to the two of them, temporarily masking their aura fluctuations.

But escaping would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

what to do……

Compared to her panic, Jin was unusually calm.

Or rather, he had already foreseen this day from the moment he escaped the abyss.

Once that old fellow discovers the seal on the forbidden area has been broken, he will definitely rush here immediately. How could he possibly let him go?
It's only a matter of time before they get caught.

This time, the old man will probably just kill him outright.

Jin was not afraid.

He'd lived long enough; life and death made no difference to him. A quick and painless death was far better than being trapped in the abyss, living a life worse than death.

The only surprise was the little female in front of them.

Looking at her pale, sweaty face, Jin leaned close to her ear and asked in a teasing voice, "Are you scared?"

A warm breath brushed against her ear and neck, and Shen Tang trembled. She quickly turned her head and held up her index finger to him, "Shh!"

Don't make a sound! What if we get discovered?
Jin gently raised the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, I realized that fleeing with her was actually quite exciting.

The orcs outside are searching through the ruins one by one. When they encounter places they can't enter, they simply use their powers or bombs to blast them open, just to confirm whether there are any corpses inside.

clatter,

Da da--

The footsteps grew closer; the searchers were rapidly closing in.

Shen Tang nervously bit her nails, muttering to herself, "It's sealed off from all sides. If this continues, we'll be discovered... Right, my earth-elemental abilities have recovered somewhat. Maybe I can use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) to escape..."

Jin's leopard ears suddenly stood up, and his expression changed.

That's too late!

He grabbed the female beside him, broke through the ruins in an instant, and flashed to a distance of 100 meters!
boom--!
Just as the two were leaving, a ball of lightning suddenly struck the spot where they had been hiding. Had they been a second later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

The army instantly surrounded them, trapping the two completely.

Shouhe stood at the front of the group, glancing at Jin with a complicated expression, then indifferently at the unfamiliar female beside him, paying her no heed, and said in a deep voice,
"Back then, I imprisoned you in the abyss so that you could reflect on your mistakes, but I never expected that you would escape."

"You disappoint me so much."

Jin glared at him and sneered, "Old man, stop pretending! You want to kill me? Let's see if you have the ability!"

"You patricide, you mad beast! How dare you be disrespectful to the patriarch!" Several generals were the first to attack.

In everyone's eyes, Jin had long been stripped of his identity; he was no longer the noble young master, but a madman and criminal who had murdered his mother and relatives! Their sole purpose for this trip was to apprehend him and bring him to justice; if he resisted, they would kill him on the spot!

Jin scoffed, looking at them as if they were ants.

He didn't even move, and those generals were sent flying before they could even get close!

More soldiers rushed forward, trying to overwhelm him with sheer numbers, but they were still no match for him.

Shouhe's expression grew colder, and he finally stepped into the battle himself.

Jin pushed Shen Tang aside and faced Shou He head-on.

They should have been the closest of father and son, but now they are engaged in a life-or-death struggle.

Shouhe had already reached the peak of the Yuan Beast level, and his strength was unfathomable. No matter how high Jin's talent was, he was still young and could not compete with him.

As Jin gradually lost ground, the black aura around him surged and grew increasingly dense.

His eyes blazed with excitement and madness, and the energy fluctuations from the battle far surpassed those from his previous fight with Yue Lin!
A sense of astonishment washed over Yue Lin. This leopard hadn't used its full strength at all when it fought him earlier!
He probably knew very well that the more power he used, the more severe his manic state would become.

If this continues, Jhin might not lose to Hound, but he will definitely go completely berserk and become a mad beast who has lost his mind!

Each time the orcs lose control, the situation becomes more serious and harder to salvage than the last...

By then, it might be too late to save them!
More anxious than this, Yue Lin looked around, but Xun Fu was nowhere to be found!

Just as the battle reached its climax, a white light suddenly flashed.

Immediately afterwards, Jin also disappeared from the spot.

Shouhe's face darkened. "Chase them! Bring that female back too!"

He hadn't taken the little female seriously at first, but he hadn't expected her to be so bold as to use her spatial abilities to take someone away right under his nose.

Such a petty trick is simply suicidal!
Since he came in person, there is absolutely no way he would let Jin escape!

……

Thousands of miles away in the wilderness, the black leopard carried the female at full speed, its movements as swift as a streak of light, traversing the wasteland.

All the polluted species they encountered along the way were swiftly killed.

The points on Shen Tang's wrist also increased steadily.

Her face was pale, and she kept looking back, her pupils suddenly contracting—

Hundreds and thousands of points of light burst forth in the sky behind them, approaching at an alarming speed!

Shen Tang gritted her teeth, almost cursing out loud: How did these guys catch up so fast?!

The two had entered a heavily polluted area. The pollutants here were very potent, but they couldn't hold back the elite troops behind them at all.

If we keep running like this, we'll be caught sooner or later!

"Aren't you afraid?" Jin's voice broke in the wind. "I'm a wanted criminal. If you help me, you'll also be listed as an accomplice."

"Once arrested, there is only one way out: death."

Shen Tang shook her head, "I'm scared! But I'm scared that you'll get caught by them! Besides, I absolutely can't abandon you!"

Jin's running speed suddenly slowed down.

Just as Shen Tang was about to urge him, the black panther transformed into human form, turned around, and pulled her into his arms.

He glanced at the rapidly enlarging points of light behind him, his golden eyes flashing slightly, and said lazily, "I'm tired, I'm not running anymore."

Before Shen Tang could react, a passionate kiss suddenly landed on her forehead.

Her body stiffened slightly as a low, hoarse, and indistinct voice reached her ears.
"Silly female..."

"Run far away, don't let them catch you."

How could he bear to drag her down with him?

"Ah Jin?!" Shen Tang sensed something, but before she could react, the man had already conjured lightning chains in his palm, binding her tightly.

Jin turned to look at the shadows not far away, his voice cold and low, with a hint of resentment hidden within, "Take good care of her, or when I come back, I will not let you off easily!"

After saying that, he pushed her away and then transformed into a black streak of light, leading the pursuers behind him into the distance.

Shen Tang felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She desperately tried to break free of the chains and chase after him, but instead fell into a warm and firm embrace.

Yue Lin hugged her tightly from behind, or rather, forcibly held her in his arms. His voice was no longer cold as usual, but carried a hint of panic, "Xiao Fu! Didn't you hear what he said? Don't follow him anymore, you'll die!"

"Come with me!"

He was about to take her away when they were surrounded by hundreds of Leopard Clan warriors.

"The patriarch has ordered that this traitor's accomplices be brought back for interrogation as well. We ask that the young master of the Moon Clan not interfere with our official duties."

Yue Lin coldly swept his gaze over them, the pressure of his Yuan Beast level overwhelming them like a tidal wave, instantly forcing everyone to prostrate themselves on the ground.

He said coldly, "The Moon Wolf Clan does not interfere in the affairs of the Hunting Leopard Clan. If you want to forcibly stop me, first consider whether you have the qualifications and whether you can bear the crime of provoking a conflict between the two clans."

"This……"

The beastmen looked at each other in bewilderment.

They naturally dared not antagonize the young master of the Moon Wolf Clan. This female was just a minor character; they could simply go back and find an explanation. Why invite trouble upon themselves?

The leading general turned around and hurriedly bowed to Yue Lin to apologize, "I am so sorry to have disturbed the young master! Please don't take offense, we will retreat immediately."

Yue Lin led Shen Tang away.

The female in his arms was still struggling. His heart was filled with bitterness. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "If you don't want to implicate him, come with me."

Shen Tang paused for a moment.

Yue Lin continued, "As you can see, this time it is Shou He who is personally leading the team. They are determined to capture Shou Jin. You can't help them; instead, you will become a burden to them."

“If Shoujin were to face them, he would likely survive even if he faced nine deaths. With his strength, he might not be unable to escape. However, if you were by his side, you would become his greatest weakness.”

“If you continue to follow him, you will not only harm yourself, but also put him in a dilemma.”

Shen Tang suddenly fell silent.

She held back her tears, nestled quietly in his arms, and stopped struggling.

Yue Lin looked down at her and sighed softly, "So, not only for you, but also for him, come with me."

……

Energy walls are set up between the cities in the purification zone, which even orcs with teleportation abilities cannot cross; they can only pass through specific city gates.

From the twentieth city to the royal city, the checks at each checkpoint became increasingly stringent. Even as the young master of the Moon Clan, Yue Lin had to have his identity verified step by step before he could continue.

The twentieth city, a luxurious hotel estate in the city center.

The moment the group entered, it caused a commotion.

The men's appearances and auras were exceptionally outstanding, especially the silver-haired youth at the head of the group. His cool and handsome face, along with his dignified and noble demeanor, instantly attracted the attention of many females present.

Even if they didn't necessarily recognize Yue Lin's identity, they couldn't help but cup their faces in their hands and swoon, their hearts filled with joy.

So handsome!
The female beside the young man was equally stunning, tall and slender with delicate features, fair and soft skin, and exuding a gentle and noble aura that captivated many young males, making it seem as if pink bubbles were floating in the air.

But such a beautiful female was not someone they could look directly at; they only dared to steal a glance and dared not have any wild fantasies.

A handsome bunny boy in a white uniform approached with drinks and snacks, glanced at Shen Tang discreetly, his cheeks slightly flushed, and respectfully asked, "Welcome, esteemed guests. What service would you like?"

As the moon approaches, let's book a few rooms and rest for the night.

"Okay, please follow me to the front desk to check in. Would you like turndown service?"

"Need not."

After the formalities were completed, everyone went to their respective rooms.

Yin Luo glanced cautiously at the two people walking ahead. Since returning, the atmosphere in the group had become inexplicably oppressive.

The captain was already a man of few words, and now he was even more silent.

Xunfu was also constantly distracted and unusually quiet!

Yue Lin booked four suites, distributed three of the room keys to the team members, and only said to Shen Tang, "Come with me."

Jiang Mu shuddered, rubbed her arms, and whispered to Shen Tang, "You... good luck!"

Having followed the captain for so many years, he could tell that the captain was truly angry this time.

Xun Fu not only got involved with that mad beast, but also lied to the captain. Don't be fooled by the captain's calm demeanor; it's just the calm before the storm!
Yin Luo patted her shoulder and whispered encouragement, "Xiao Fu, you can do it!"

After saying that, the two of them slipped away as fast as they could, afraid of being implicated.

Shen Tang, "..."

Is it really that scary?

As she walked, she recalled what she had done, a chill creeping down her back, mixed with a touch of embarrassment.

……

Yue Lin sat on the living room sofa.

Shen Tang stood in front of him.

The air seemed to freeze for a long time, and no one spoke.

finally,
Yue Lin spoke first, "Why do you like him so much?"

Instead of the expected reprimand and questioning, his tone was more one of confusion, perhaps hiding a more complex emotion.
"Did you know him before? Why were you... so nice to him?"

Shen Tang paused, staring blankly at him, unsure how to answer. "I..."

Yue Lin looked at her hesitant expression, a hint of sadness flashing across his deep black eyes.

He had initially thought she had been kidnapped by that mad beast and was worried that something bad might happen to her, but now it seems that he had worried too much and that the two had a very close relationship.

Just like a partner.

And that kiss.

Recalling that scene, Yue Lin felt a pang of sadness.

Even he, an outsider, could see that when Xunfu looked at Jin, her eyes were filled with affection and love.

As a fellow male, he could tell even more clearly that Jin also liked her.

Even the slow-witted Yue Lin guessed the answer.

"The person you were looking for that day was Shou Jin, right?"

Two parts combined, 4,000 words~

good night!
