Chapter 226
Fang Yu had expected the incoming presence to immediately attack her, given the killing intent that she can feel from it. She knew that it was the one who gains the initiative that will win this face-off. And one can only gain initiative if they attack first!
“Ice-Fire Bolt!” The ice and fire serpents circling Fang Yu’s body left her as they coalesced on her right palm. The result of their fusion was an orb pulsing with colors. This orb then turned into an attack similar to that of a lightning bolt. It headed straight to the incoming attacker, hitting it squarely in the chest.
“!!!” But to Fang Yu’s surprise, her Ice-Fire Bolt just passed through its body, as if it was not affected at all. She felt as if her enemy gave her a mocking grin as it disappeared once more.
Fang Yu then heard voices all around her, taunting her of her uselessness.
“What’s the matter little one? Seems like even your petty attacks can’t even damage me. Hahaha! You’re pathetic! Do you expect to face me with that pitiful arsenal? How deplorable! But I see your great beauty. How about you serve me as an all-around maid, and I will spare you! I can even grant you a way better life than you are living now! How about that hehehehe….”
Fang Yu ignored the taunts given to her as she tried to analyze the situation. From the looks of it, the presence that kidnapped her and Tang Li seemed to be not really intent on killing them. It seemed like it wanted to ‘play’ with them.
Fang Yu then stilled, realizing something.
“If he was as strong as he claimed he was, then why was he wasting time here, tormenting people like me?” She thought to herself.
“Wait, maybe he was just an eccentric person?” This could be the most reasonable answer. But then Fang Yu remembered something about this planet.
“Wait, the planet we landed in earlier was a Stage 0 Planet! That means only those with no cultivation can be there! Andromeda, me and Tang Li were special cases since we have those suits, but I refuse to believe that others have these things too!”
The creature then howled in pain as it realized that it will die a painful death.
As for Fang Yu, her condition was only slightly better. She was extremely pale due to her available mana being consumed entirely as she used it to fuel the maintenance of the whirlpool.
Once she was sure that the creature was near its death, Fang Yu dispelled her spell and watched the creature thump on the floor loudly.
Seeing that the creature can still talk and was conscious, Fang Yu approached it as she tried talking to it.
“If you want to live, you must give me the information about everything about you, what you are doing on this planet and much more.” Fang Yu tried her best to look as menacing as possible. “If you do not talk, you can experience that fun ride I gave you once more.”
“……” The hideous creature said nothing as it gave Fang Yu a look of loathing. It even dared to spit at the floor just to show its derision.
“Oh really? In that case…” Fang Yu raised her hands to use Twin Rotations once more when she suddenly felt Tang Li becoming wide awake.
Fang Yu does not know why, but Tang Li had an excited expression on her face as she tried to leave the storage pocket. But the only way Tang LI can leave the storage pocket was if Fang Yu allows it.
“Do I bring her out or not?” Fang Yu was still reeling from the image of Tang Li bleeding out on her arms. Fang Yu vowed to herself to never let this sweet girl experience such torment once more. Bringing her out at a situation like this might be a bad choice, since it may expose her to the enemy.
Fang Yu then decided to just keep Tang Li in the storage pocket. But then she saw Tang Li still trying to get out. It was as if she wanted to do this at any cost.
“S**t!” Fang Yu had no choice at this point but to let Tang Li out of her storage. Once the excited Tang Li was out, she let out cute titters as she hugged Fang Yu on her neck. Fang Yu could not help but smile at Tang Li’s antics.
If Fang Yu was pleased with Tang Li, the hideous creature was quite the opposite. Once it saw Tang Li, its body trembled as its face, if you can call it a face, turned pale. It immediately kowtowed in front of Tang Li as it reverently said,
“I humbly greet thee, oh Great One, exalted Devourer of the Planets!”
