In the next room, Shen Tang lay in bed, unable to sleep.
Recalling that long-lost yet familiar kiss made her emotions both joyful and chaotic.
She touched her lips, still feeling a burning pain.
Hiss~
This dog of a man really doesnāt know how to be gentle!
But...
I guess this means the relationship is confirmed!
Shen Tang buried her face in the soft pillow, her heart feeling sweet, as if she had returned to the past.
But, her smile quickly faded.
Jin doesnāt have Xiao Jinās memories, though reality and memory often overlap, even making her occasionally disoriented, she knows they are not the same person.
Should she give him these memories?
As long as he remembers, he could become the original Xiao Jin, right?
Shen Tang took out the [Past Reappearance Crystal] from the system backpack.
The palm-sized, prism-shaped crystal, pure and flawless, emitted a faint golden glow, exuding some mysterious and sacred power.
With just a gentle touch, many memories flooded into her mind.
Within the crystal also appeared scenes of the past, she was the protagonist of this journey, things experienced along the way, people met, all reflected in the crystal.
There were friends, enemies, and most importantly... family.
Finally.
Shen Tang kept the memories on Xiao Jin.
Everything that happened between them was sealed in this Memory Crystal.
She decided.
Might as well give it a try.
When the time is right, sheāll hand the crystal to Jin.
...
The next day at assembly, Yue Lin found two people missing; Xun Fu and Jin were nowhere to be found, and the messages sent were like sinking into the sea.
His heart sank, and he asked the team, "Have any of you seen them recently?"
Yin Luo said, "I saw them this morning, it was still dark, I wondered why they went out so early, Ah Fu said she wanted to go around the mall, buy some things."
She laughed, "Ah Fu even gave me lots of gifts, said thank you for taking care of her during this time, sheās really generous~"
Yue Linās expression immediately changed.
He immediately went to the immigration agency to check their information, discovering they had already left the city at four or five in the morning!
These two unexpectedly snuck away without telling anyone.
Yue Lin looked grim, knowing he had been careless, but never expected Xun Fu to go along!
Although they left in the morning, the Hunting Leopard Clan inherently has the Talent Ability of "Shadow Instant," they must have been miles away by now.
He wanted to lead a team to chase, but the Yue Family Head had already sent people to rush him multiple times, and heād indeed been delayed too long this time, unable to postpone further.
Even though Yue Lin was angry and unwilling inside, he could only return to the Royal City, the other matters to be dealt with after coming back.
"Send a troop out to search, contact the shelters in the jurisdiction to verify the identities of the beastmen entering and leaving. If they encounter the two, arrest them directly, and report to me immediately... other matters, weāll talk after I return!"
"Yes, Young Master."
When he returns, heāll personally make sure to catch them!
That leopard running off would be one thing, but taking Xun Fu with them? Unforgivable!
...
Meanwhile, Shen Tang and Jin, having left the Purification Zone, arrived at a remote and distant shelter.
This place was too remote and too chaotic to be under the control of the Purification Zone forces.
More importantly, the beastmen here were busy surviving, external news spread slowly, nobody knew them.
"Did you see? This morning, a pair of young beastmen arrived, they look like companions."
"That female is beautiful, Iāve never seen one more beautiful in my life, probably even the nobles in the Royal City canāt compare."
"Skin as white as snow, eyes bright and speaking, and those lips so tender and red, kissing them must be lovely."
"Her figure is beyond words, that chest, that waist, that ass... Tsk, sexy enough to make one nosebleed! If I could mate with her once, itād be worth dying!"
By the city gate, a few hooligan ruffians gathered, drooling greedily.
The boss came over, hearing their words, his eyes also lit up, "Oh? Is that female really so beautiful?"
"Hehe, boss, youāll know once you look yourself, fragrant and beautiful!"
"Yeah, you can smell that enticing fragrance from afar!" The beastman took a deep breath, looking extremely lewd.
The boss listened, mouth dry, eager to act.
Just then, a subordinate ran over, lowered voice excitedly, "Quick! I just saw that male going out, itās just the female alone at home, this is a delivered opportunity!"
In the Wasteland Zone, females were precious, young, beautiful, and capable females either followed strong teams or had long gone to the Purification Zone.
Ordinary beastmen rarely encountered one and wouldnāt let it go!
The boss immediately led his gang of thugs straight to that residence.
The living conditions in the city north were slightly better, Shen Tang and Jin temporarily chose to stay here.
But naturally, it couldnāt compare to the Purification Zone; many furniture and facilities were old and needed replacement. Jin went out shopping, Shen Tang stayed home tidying up.
While sweeping the yard, a chaotic commotion suddenly came from outside, she casually scanned with spiritual power, over a dozen thugs were coming.
Leading them was a bear beastman at Peak Tenth Rank, probably a local tyrant in this shelter.
The surrounding passersby didnāt dare provoke them; those with females quickly dodged away, fearing to be targeted.
"Bang!"
The thug kicked the door open, surrounding Shen Tang.
The bear boss saw her beautiful and noble appearance, almost drooling.
So beautiful!
A beauty falling right from the sky!
"Little sister, come with brother, I promise youāll have good food and drinks!" The bear beastman said, reaching to touch her waist.
Shen Tangās mouth twitched; she hadnāt expected thereād really be someone fearless enough to come mess with her.
"Ahāā!"
Before his hand even touched her, a golden blade flashed by, slicing his arm in an instant!
The intense pain made him scream, then another blade pierced through his body, a thousand thunder powers exploded violently, instantly turning him into shards.
The dirty blood was just about to splash on Shen Tang when a figure swiftly dashed forward, wrapped an arm around her waist, retreating hundreds of meters away in a flash.
Not a spot of bloodstain touched the hem of her skirt.
Shen Tang raised her hand, hooking the manās neck, smiling, "Youāre back?"
Outside the door, piles of boxes lay around.
Jin lazily raised his eyes, "Those scoundrels didnāt dirty your hands, did they?"
"Hehe, you came back just in time, I hadnāt made a move yet."
This gang of thugs had been rampant in the city for years, never humiliated this way, as if they were ants ready to be stomped anytime.
And the terrifying pressure emanating from the man engulfed them like a tide, chilling them to the core, making their faces pale, legs weakly collapsed to the ground, some even wetting their pants.
Jinās face showed dislike, with a wave, he dealt with the group.
They didnāt know, on the first day of coming, they casually eliminated the long-evildoing gang leader in the shelter.
Killing one to warn a hundred, their fame spread instantly.
From then on, no one dared to cause them trouble.
