1625 A Small Lesson! (2)
They knew that Isah had evil intentions; it wasnt just pure love.
The outcome was a lesson for him.
Lets go. Dont think too much. Lin Chuhan isnt someone you can lay your hands on, said Xue Fei, patting his shoulder.
However...
Pfft! Isah vomited a mouthful of blood and stumbled.
Everyone was appalled.
Du Wa quickly grabbed him and asked, Whats the matter?
Im fine. Isah waved a feeble hand and straightened his body with difficulty. Ill go back first.
He stumbled his way out before anyone could reply.
Some people noticed his eyes, filled with emotions; there was fear and regret. He seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying.
Did that person do it? someone whispered.
Du Wa swallowed saliva and said fearfully, I think so. Who else could it be?
Looks like the guy isnt completely oblivious to our situation, said Xue Fei with a bitter smile. No wonder. Someone with his status would never let Lin Chuhan venture out alone without any protection.
Isah brought this upon himself. Hes always playing dirty tricks and now hes finally met someone he shouldnt provoke. Even if he didnt do anything significant, its enough to make him fall into an abyss. Du Wa shook his head. Still, Earl Wangs strength is truly terrifying. We didnt even notice when he acted.
Is this the might of the first place holder in the League of Talents? That was scary. Im afraid he could kill us before we even had time to react, said the others in horror.
Lets go. We cant do anything, Xue Fei said, Since he didnt kill Isah in the end, he probably just wanted to give him a lesson. I dont think hell pursue the matter again.
Yes. Du Wa nodded and reprimanded the planetary stage warriors behind him. See that? Its better to focus on cultivating properly, instead of coming up with nasty ideas. You may run into someone we cant handle otherwise.
Yes! The group replied in unison.
Wang Teng discarded the small episode with the Battle Hearth Mercenary Team from his mind. As for Isah, he just gave him a small lesson.
Right from the start, he noticed the fellows strange eyes when looking at Lin Chuhan.
He too noticed how the rest were teasing the latter moments before.
Why is he having thoughts about my lady? Is he tired of living?
He didnt act overtly because she was present. He controlled himself.
When did you come back? Lin Chuhan asked.
About three days ago, Wang Teng smiled.
How long are you planning to stay?
Do you want me to stay a few more days? said the hero with a smile.
I want you to stay for a year, can you? Lin Chuhan rolled her eyes.
Really? Looks like you really missed me and dont want me to leave, he teased.
Lin Chuhan turned her head and flicked her hair as she replied stubbornly, Me? No way!
In that case, Ill leave tomorrow. He laughed again.
Youre only staying for one day? She was shocked.
Hahaha... The young earl burst out laughing. He nudged her, You cant bear to part with me.
You... hmph! She snorted, realizing he was just playing around.
All right, all right. The Stellar Academies gave me one month; I can stay for a few more days, Wang Teng quickly replied.
Lin Chuhan didnt say anything but her eyes were glowing.
The hero noticed her little burst of excitement but he didnt expose her. He just smiled.
Lets have something good to eat, Wang Teng said.
I want you to cook for me, she replied.
Your standards are quite high! He smiled and looked at her.
Why? You cant satisfy this request? Lin Chuhan flashed him with puppy eyes. I cant even eat properly while Im on missions...
All right, I get it! he quickly interjected. I agree.
Great, were settled then. She was delighted.
They reached the manor soon after.
The young girl was just back from a trip, so she was a bit unkempt. Some freshening up was in order.
Wang Teng stood in the main hall and spoke to a certain empty spot next to him.
An Lan, its been a while.
The air became distorted and a figure in black cloak gradually manifested. He removed his cape, revealing the mechanical face underneath.
Youre getting stronger. I didnt expect you to notice me. An Lan stared at Wang Teng in surprise.
This is nothing. Have you forgotten about my space talent? The latter asked.
Thats true. The other fellow rubbed his head.
Thank you for your efforts during this period, said the hero, his gratitude evident.
Its nothing. I didnt do anything. I just went out to gain more experience, An Lan replied. Those mercenaries are quite cautious. They would rarely be in any danger, unless there was an accident.
Being cautious is good. Lin Chuhan has matured greatly. Wang Teng nodded.
Indeed. She has improved greatly, and is now a competent mercenary. Shell be able to explore the universe on her own when she gets stronger, the other said.
Im just afraid of accidents. The hero shook his head.
Oh right, I made some gains when I followed them to a planet, said the covert expert all of a sudden.
What was it? Wang Teng was surprised.
An ore mine! The former smiled. It has materials I need to advance to the universe stage.
Really? The young earl was astounded.
Those materials had to be rare and extraordinary if they could help the guy advance. He never expected An Lan to gain such valuable resources by following his fiancee.
Of course! An Lan said.
Wang Teng couldnt help but exclaim, Gosh! Did you step on dog shit?
Dont you know how to speak properly? The experts face turned black.
Hahaha. In any case, congratulations. Wang Teng laughed. When can you make your advance to the universe stage?
Not so soon. I will need tens of thousands of different materials; some of them are special and hard to find. I was lucky this time.
The Mecha Races advancements were special. Besides enlightenment and Force, they needed to absorb various special ores and metals.
This was just like a humans body had to be strengthened, along with exposure to Enlightenment and Force, or great problems could arise.
Tell me the materials you need. Ill help you look for them, the hero said.
Haha, I was waiting for you to say that. An Lan chuckled. He didnt reject the offer.
Anyway, he followed the young earl because he hoped to gain more access to cultivation resources so he could grow stronger.
The Mecha Races advancement required many rare materials and he was poor. Following Wang Teng was the best choice.
The expert transmitted a list of the materials required.
Wang Teng glanced through the names and was surprised. The rarity of those things exceeded his expectations.
He nodded and stored the list All right, Ill get them for you if I see them.
At the same time, he reminded Round Ball to take note and remind him if they ever came across any of the materials.
Ill get out of your way then. Your fiancee is out. An Lan smiled and disappeared on the spot.
Approaching footsteps could be heard. Lin Chuhan was once again before Wang Teng, looking fresh and rejuvenated. She was clad in a long white dress that enhanced her graceful figure.
