Chapter 161: Bumping into a familiar face
Outside of Valen City, Han Shuo set Lisa down when they arrived at an outcropping of randomly scattered rock in the wilderness.
Suddenly, having been set down, Lisa hugged Han Shuo tightly from behind. Her burgeoning breasts were pressed tightly against his back and he could clearly feel their soft, smooth firmness.
Han Shuo had been carrying Lisa back all along, but because he’d been fighting in a dangerous situation and had been busy avoiding hits, he hadn’t focused his attentions on anywhere else. Now that the two were out of danger, Lisa suddenly embraced him tightly from behind, giving rise to strange feelings in his heart.
“Do you like that?” Lisa perched her lips next to Han Shuo’s earlobes as she plastered her chest against his back, huffing out a breath of hot air and asking shyly in a low voice.
Taking a deep breath in, Han Shuo turned around and looked at Lisa, prying her from his body with a small bit of effort. He smiled, “Alright, we’re safe now. Now that we’ve left Valen City, it will be harder for the Gryphon Legion to capture us than it would be for them to ascend to the heavens. You can be at ease.”
Pouting, Lisa once again approached Han Shuo and hugged him tightly, her two arms squeezing him tightly around the waist. She said softly, “I’m nothing now, all my kin is gone. What should I do in the future?”
Clapping Lisa’s shoulder, Han Shuo comforted her, “Don’t worry, Lawrence will take care of you. He rushed here from the capital when he heard that something had happened to you. He truly dotes on you.”
“I often played with cousin Lawrence when we were young. He already doted on me back then. Heh heh, he’s been like my own brother all these years. I’m very grateful to him!” Lisa said proudly when she heard Han Shuo mention Lawrence, and then cried out in surprise, saying with worry, “Oh no, he didn’t leave with us, could he possibly be in danger?”
“Don’t worry, your brother Lawrence isn’t an ordinary person. If he can’t handle even this little bit of danger, then all his years of living will have been wasted.” As the third prince, Lawrence had always been educated by his ambitious mother. He was also heavily valued by the king and had experts by his side. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to leave peacefully at all.
Nodding, Han Shuo was about to say something when his brow suddenly furrowed as he suddenly turned in the direction that they had come from. He hesitated and asked Candice, “Did you run into any danger along the way here?”
Candice first started in surprise, and then remembered Han Shuo’s miraculous abilities. Her pretty features immediately stilled as she quickly responded, “We did run into some danger along the way, but we quickly handled it. Why do you say this? Did you discover something?”
“There was another group of people behind you since you’ve appeared. I thought they had nothing to do with you and was just another group of people wanting to enter Valen City, but a huge gust of wind blew by just now and I happened to hear the word ‘Belinda’. If I’m not mistaken, this group of people that’s continuously kept their distance from you must have something to do with your employer ‘Belinda’.” Han Shuo responded with a frown.
If it’d been anyone else to say these words, Candice would’ve never believed him because even she hadn’t detected anything out of the ordinary at such a far distance. Not only had Han Shuo picked up the traces of another group of people, he could even make use of the wind to hear what they were saying. This was a completely unimaginably queer occurrence.
Only a wind archmage would have such miraculous hearing to be able to pick up on what others were saying so far away. Han Shuo was obviously not at this level.
However, after going through life and death with Han Shuo last time, Candice understood that he did happen to have such miraculous abilities. She had long since seen his capabilities and thus believed him without hesitation. Her long eyelashes fluttered rapidly as she contemplated with a furrowed brow, then spoke to Han Shuo, “What direction are they in, how many and what’s their strength like?”
