Chapter 187 - Razed to the Ground
“So —” Feng Xun scratched his head. “What are we gonna do… if we run into Feng Wu?”
The faintest smile emerged on Jun Linyuan’s well-sculpted face. “Are you afraid of her?”
Feng Xun said grumpily, “We abducted her brother, for heaven’s sake! And we did it behind her back! I bet she can’t wait to strangle me…”
He pulled his neck in as he said that.
Xuan Yi gave Feng Xun a look. “Young Lord Feng, are you frightened of a girl?”
“You don’t understand!” Feng Xun glared at Xuan Yi. “When Feng Wu stares at you with her big black eyes without saying a word, don’t you feel terrified?”
Xuan Yi rubbed his chin and gave Jun Linyuan a glance, then said, “That’s called an ‘aura.’”
Same as Boss Jun, Feng Wu’s gaze was sharper than a cold blade that threatened to kill any stranger who came too close without permission.
Feng Xun nodded immediately. “That’s so true. Anyway, my stomach turns whenever Feng Wu looks at me like that.”
“‘We’ abducted his brother?” Jun Linyuan looked casually in Feng Xun’s direction.
Puckering up his face, Feng Xun said, “Me, it was all me. I came up with the idea… Gosh, will Feng Wu kill me when she sees me next time?”
Jun Linyuan gave him the slightest smile and murmured, “If she owes you her life…”
That immediately cheered Feng Xun up. “That’s right. Exactly! She won’t do anything to me if I save her life! Let’s go now! I have to save her this time!”
“I’ll go first.” Jun Linyuan was unbelievably fast. He was out of sight almost immediately after that.
“Boss Jun is so nice to me,” Feng Xun mumbled gratefully as he watched Jun Linyuan turn into a tiny black dot on the horizon.
Xuan Yi gave him a questioning look.
Feng Xun was so touched and his tone was full of emotion. “Boss Jun hurried off just to help me make Feng Wu owe me her life. He would never try to save anyone if it wasn’t for me, not to mention that he doesn’t even like Feng Wu. Sigh. I owe Boss Jun so much —”
A suspicious look flickered in Xuan Yi’s brooding eyes. “… But…”
Feng Xun looked at him in bewilderment.
Rubbing his nose, Xuan Yi shook his head with a wry smile on his face. Somehow, he was understanding the whole thing differently from Feng Xun. But was he supposed to believe that Boss Jun actually cared about Feng Wu? Xuan Yi shook his head. There was no way that Boss Jun would go for a useless girl like that.
As they rushed toward Wanping Town, the town itself was surrounded on all sides by magical beasts!
Although Ning Chenxi had lured away some of the magical beasts, more were coming out of the mountains in endless waves. Hence, Wanping Town had been under constant attack this whole time!
The town might be able to hold on for a while if it was only attacked by land beasts outside the gate. However, magical beasts were coming down from the sky as well!
Thud, thud, thud —
There were magical eagles, bats, and all kinds of other birds… Countless flying beasts batted their wings, covering the sky as they attacked the town with their abilities.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Streaks of lightning flashed in the air, lighting up the sky as if it was daytime!
The look on General Wu’s face was very grim!
Because of its strategic importance, not only were there many soldiers stationed at Wanping Town, a defense formation had been set up in the town as well. However, if the attack from the flying magical beasts continued, that formation wouldn’t be able to last much longer… If that happened, the entire Wanping Town would be razed to the ground!
What to do? Everyone looked extremely anxious!
