After dealing with Hua, Lin Zhen transformed the liquid metal into a skirt armor once again, covering the indecent boxerbriefs, and slowly returned to his own lair.
Su Mingyue also moved quickly and returned here with Lao San, who had been knocked out by her.
She threw Lao San on the ground without any care, and she had been staring coldly at Tang Yu and Yingying.
It seemed that Tang Yu and Yingying wanted to take this opportunity to leave, but they were caught by Su Mingyue.
Yingying begged bitterly in front of Su Mingyue, “Ming Yue, just let us go, we can’t face you anymore. Staying here is embarrassing, why won’t you let us leave?”
Tang Yu’s face was full of guilt, “Ming Yue, I know I let you down. But back then, I had no choice in that situation. Moreover, you didn’t tell me about the backup behind you, otherwise I would never have made that decision.”
Su Mingyue took a deep breath to calm herself down, “Lin Zhen is not my backup, I didn’t expect him to help me.”
“Then what happened? How did you end up together? And why was he dressed… like that?”
Tang Yu was very concerned about this matter. Although Su Mingyue had never expressed her love for him, he had already regarded her as untouchable. Seeing her with Lin Zhen and Lin Zhen only wearing boxerbriefs, he couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild, feeling a sense of betrayal.
According to his understanding, if he asked like this, Su Mingyue, who was always chaste, would definitely explain herself, so that he could feel better. However, he didn’t expect Su Mingyue not to explain, but to look at him with a sneer, “Is it any of your business?”
A single sentence, like thunder on a sunny day, completely shattered Tang Yu’s last lingering thoughts.
“Fine, it’s none of my business. We don’t have much of a grudge, and we’ve been friends before. Is it wrong for me to try to save my life in a life-or-death situation? Just let me go.”
“You’re right to try to save your life, but you shouldn’t have asked me agree to their conditions. Tang Yu, we can barely be friends now, and even less so in the future.”
In the end, Su Mingyue was still kind-hearted and didn’t want to hurt others. Although Tang Yu was not a big deal, she couldn’t bring herself to deal with Yingying.
Seeing that Su Mingyue didn’t want to pursue the matter, Tang Yu and Yingying were overjoyed and turned to leave, but at that moment, they saw Lin Zhen standing behind them.
“Lin Zhen, what do you want?” Tang Yu asked vigilantly.
“Hehe, nothing. I just wanted to see the true colors of you two shameless lovebirds. At this point, you still want to play the victim? Letting you go would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain. Who knows if you’re afraid of your misdeeds being exposed and will come back for revenge later on. ”
Tang Yu and Yingying’s faces changed, Tang Yu said, “Lin Zhen, this matter has nothing to do with you. This is between Mingyue and us. You’d better not meddle in others’ business. Mingyue has already agreed to let us go, and I’m willing to swear upon the name of the True God that I will never come back to cause trouble.”
“Haha! Although I don’t believe in that True God, someone like you is not even qualified to believe in it. Your words just now may as well be treated as farts.”
Tang Yu’s face flushed and paled, “So, what do you want to do?”
“Can I kill you?” Lin Zhen asked.
Tang Yu and Yingying were scared and took a step back. If Lin Zhen wanted to make a move at this moment, they would have no chance of survival.
Yingying yelled at Su Mingyue, ‘Ming Yue, you promised to let us go! Do you intend to break your word?”
Su Mingyue hesitated for a moment, came to Lin Zhen’s side and said, “Lin Zhen, let’s forget about it. After all, they are acquaintances of mine, and I don’t want to see…”
“All right, you’re really compassionate as the Saintess, even willing to spare such people. Fine, I’ll listen to you, but while they may avoid the death penalty, they can’t escape punishment. I have an itch to beat them up, and you can’t interfere with that, can you?”
Su Mingyue turned her head and slowly walked to one side, obviously not wanting to interfere with Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen smirked, and that smile seemed like a demon in Tang Yu and
Yingying’s eyes.
He suddenly pounced, first kicking Yingying down viciously, and then striking her several times in the back.
Yingying screamed in pain, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.
Lin Zhen didn’t continue to attack, but turned to Tang Yu, suddenly slapping him on the scalp!
Tang Yu’s hair was long and messy, and he always tied it up with a golden hairband. This hairband seemed very valuable, and he had been wearing it since Lin Zhen met him.
His body was weak at the moment, and he staggered after being slapped by Lin Zhen, his hair becoming even more disheveled.
“A true disciple of the Great Divine Sect! Slap!” A fierce slap flashed by.
“Ice City’s number one War General! Slap! ” A backhand slap followed.
“Unwavering faith in the deity? Slap!” The third slap.
“You like Su Mingyue? I think you value your own life more! Slap!”
Tang Yu was beaten without any chance of fighting back, and he didn’t dare to do so. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and two of his teeth were knocked out by Lin Zhen. His handsome face was swollen like a pig’s head.
“It’s a disgrace to even hit someone like you. Get the hell away from me.” With that, Lin Zhen kicked Tang Yu in the abdomen, sending him flying back more than ten meters.
After a long time of moaning and groaning, Tang Yu finally climbed up, cast a resentful glance at Lin Zhen, and left with Yingying while supporting each other, stumbling away.
At this time, Su Mingyue came over, tears blurring her eyes.
“Lin Zhen, thank you.”
“There’s no need for thanks, it’s what I should do. I also don’t like these two.”
Su Mingyue nodded and didn’t say anything more, instead walking over to the riverbank alone and staring at the water.
Lin Zhen let out a sigh after glancing at Su Mingyue, then quietly walked to the side and took out a small object.
It was a small metal tracker, something he had prepared when he came to the Star Fruit Tree. A cutting-edge product from the technology department—a tracking locator.
It was easy to use, requiring only a needle-sized piece of metal. While he was smacking Tang Yu earlier, Lin Zhen had left this tiny metal pin in his hair band.
Tang Yu would always wear this specific hair band in the depths of the jungle. Lin Zhen wanted to know his whereabouts, because an important event was about to happen to Tang Yu.
Lin Zhen remembered that in his past life, Tang Yu became famous for replaceing a special Constant Star Crystal with space power in it while inside the Star Fruit Tree. This allowed him to soar to great heights and increase his combat power immensely.
After obtaining the Constant Star Crystal, Tang Yu advanced to become a War God. This meant that he must have acquired it when he was at the peak of being a Level Nine Martial General. Lin Zhen wanted to locate Tang Yu’s position to secure the Constant Star Crystal for himself.
As long as they were in the Star Fruit Tree, Lin Zhen would replace out about Tang Yu’s actions sooner or later. When Tang Yu reached Level Nine Martial General status, Lin Zhen would make sure to follow him, replace the Crystal, and snatch it away from him.
As for Yingying, Lin Zhen had already slapped a prepared poisonous needle into her heart from behind. There was no way she would survive the night.
Such a woman was a hazard to keep around and would surely seek revenge in the future. It was better to dispose of her sooner, for peace of mind.
However, there was no need for Su Mingyue to know any of this, as this bright yet naive girl shouldn’t be burdened with such matters.
Lin Zhen glanced at the tracking device and put it away, then walked over to Lao San.
Grabbing Lao San by the hair, Lin Zhen slapped him awake with two sharp blows.
Before Lao San could say anything, Lin Zhen’s eyes narrowed, and he unleashed a Mental Shock.
In Lao San’s current state, he was unable to resist Lin Zhen’s Mental Shock. Experiencing intense pain in his mind, Lao San let out a howl and stared blankly.
“Speak! Where can the most Star Crystals be found in the Star Fruit Tree?”
“They are found in the most abundance in the Three Great Forbidden Areas,” Lao San answered instinctively.
“What are the three forbidden areas? Where are they?”
“One of the forbidden areas is the Beehive, located in the southeast of the Crown District. A massive beehive can be found there, and most Martial Artists wouldn’t dare go. Many Star Crystals remain uncollected; only the best can enter.”
“What are the others?”
“The Ant Nest is located to the southwest by a dead branch. Dust and mud have accumulated into an ant nest, filled with countless ants. That place also has a
lot of Star Crystals.”
“There’s one more.”
“The last one is called Sky Dome. It’s said to be directly above the fruit tree and can absorb sunshine and rain to the greatest extent. There are many Star
Crystals there, but the area is controlled by students from previous terms. Ordinary people aren’t allowed to go.”
Lin Zhen launched several Mental Shocks consecutively, keeping Lao San in a state of confusion. Lao San answered every question to the best of his ability. Lin Zhen got the information he wanted, realizing that there was nothing more to ask. He yanked off Lao San’s Space Ring and threw a punch to kill him, then kicked his body away.
Returning to the riverbank, Su Mingyue was still staring at the water with teary
Lin Zhen knew that today’s events had greatly impacted her. As a Divine Sect Saintess who had believed in deities since childhood, she now had doubts about them. With her previous beliefs beginning to crumble, she felt lost and betrayed by friends. She needed comfort and reassurance.
“Su Saintess, you don’t have to be like this. Be happy.”
“What’s there to be happy about?” Su Mingyue murmured after a long pause. At this point, she indeed felt lost; the deities never appeared or saved anyone, and the faith of others was so fragile. What was her purpose as the Saintess of the Divine Sect?
“There are always many things happening in life. We can focus on the happier ones, like today. I think it’s a day worth celebrating.”
Su Mingyue didn’t reply, so Lin Zhen continued, “Look, today you bravely defeated a strong opponent and saw the true colors of the two people around you, eliminating future threats. These are all things worth celebrating. And there’s one more thing.”
“What is it?” Su Mingyue finally turned to look at Lin Zhen.
“Today is New Year’s! It’s a time for celebration! Doesn’t this make you happy?
“Today is New Year’s…” Su Mingyue repeated softly.
“That’s right, today is New Year’s Eve, and I’ve always remembered it.”
As Lin Zhen spoke, he extended a hand toward Su Mingyue: “Su Saintess, let’s celebrate our first New Year’s together. Happy New Year!”
Su Mingyue stared blankly for a moment but soon wiped away her tears, revealing a beautiful smile that even made flowers envious.. She slapped Lin Zhen’s palm: “Idol, Happy New Year!”
