Another ten-plus minutes passed, and his little brother-in-law also sneaked his way over.
Wait, no.
Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang were having a PY date.
Why would Su Yue show up?
How would he even know about this place?
Could it be?
A love triangle?
Damn!
A very bold idea popped up in Yang Lezhiâs mind.
And pretty damn dirty!
"Su Yue, how could you do this to Mu Cheng... you little, little, bottom... how am I supposed to face your sister?"
Before Su Yue could even answer, Yang Lezhiâs hands were already shaking as he cursed with righteous heartbreak.
"Whatâs going on in your head, how pervy can you get? I came to the Scab Beast Jungle to look for treasure."
Su Yue was seriously grossed out by the look in Yang Lezhiâs eyes.
Youâre the one who looks like a bottom.
"Whoâs there!"
Because Yang Lezhi was too shocked, his scolding came out a bit too loud.
He hadnât expected it to alert Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang.
The two of them snapped their heads around.
In that moment, eight eyes locked through the air, and even the humid air turned awkward.
The key thing was, Yang Lezhi still had a Source Image Stone in his handâthis shady bastard was obviously recording!
Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang were holding hands, both of them covered in mud.
This kind of date was seriously hardcore.
"Uh, sorry, I wasnât trying to peep on purpose, it was Su Yue who egged me on.
"Su Yue, why is your Source Image Stone in my hand, so careless!"
Yang Lezhi hurriedly stuffed the Source Image Stone into Su Yueâs hand, his face stiff with embarrassment.
"I wish you two... a lifetime of happiness as a loving couple... my brother-in-law and I will take our leave, we wonât disturb you."
Su Yue thought for a long time and still couldnât find the right wording.
In the end, all he could do was offer his blessing.
As for Yang Lezhi dumping the blame on him, that wasnât important; the Source Image Stone had already been crushed.
Sure enough, Yang Lezhiâs face twitched from the pain.
This little brother-in-law was ruthless.
Do Source Image Stones grow on trees or what?
"Yeah yeah, wish you two grow old together, bound by love forever, may you soon have a child... wait no, no need for a kid early on!"
Yang Lezhi wanted nothing more than to slap Su Yue to death.
You freaking know Iâm broke, right?
"You two look so damn sketchy, what are you thinking about."
Bai Xiaolong flung Meng Yangâs hand away; his face had already gone green from anger.
Damn it, still got misunderstood.
Stupid joint battle technique.
"Exactly, donât get the wrong idea!"
Meng Yang was anxious as hell too.
Thankfully, the Source Image Stone had been crushed.
"Hey now, in this diverse society, we donât discriminate, totally normal, you know."
Yang Lezhi tried to explain, but the more he explained, the worse it sounded.
"Su Yue, why are you and Yang Lezhi here?"
Bai Xiaolongâs face was dark.
The more you try to clarify, the darker it gets, might as well drop it.
Stupid joint battle techniqueâonce he got that treasure, heâd stay far, far away from Meng Yang for the rest of his life, never meeting again in this lifetime.
"Iâm here to look for Divine Soldiers, my brother-in-lawâs here for Spirit Medicine.
"What about you guys? Not gonna pitch a tent or something?"
Su Yue asked curiously.
"Iâll say it one more time, itâs not what you think. Bai Xiaolong and I are waiting for a treasure to appear.
"And weâre holding hands because we cultivated a joint battle technique. When we team up, we can unleash Grandmaster-level power.
"Youâve cultivated the Grandmaster Chain before, you know this type of battle technique!"
Meng Yang gave a quick explanation.
"Sure, sure, if you say so."
Su Yue and Yang Lezhi both nodded.
"You actually came at the perfect time; come help out!
"Keep your auras low, donât let the Grandmaster-level demon beasts in the Scab Beast Jungle notice us."
Then, all four of them sneakily hid themselves away.
Su Yue could see it clearlyâthey were all veterans; their hiding poses were as sketchy as they were stealthy, the more pervy the pose, the better the concealment.
Sure enough, "wretched development" is the best strat for high-level players.
The three of them had all been student council presidents before.
Who wouldâve thought they could be this wretched in the Wet Realm.
Of course, there are always variables.
After all, there are always some people who are arrogant as hell, even borderline brain-dead.
Not far from them, there was a Fifth-Grade Martial Artist in his forties or fifties swaggering along, acting like he had a death wish.
He strode with a dragonâs gait and a tigerâs steps along the edge of the Scab Beast Jungle like some kind of idiot.
"This guyâs not brain-damaged, is he?"
Bai Xiaolong and the others stared at Zhao Qianâen.
"He might legit be an idiot, otherwise whyâs he so cocky? That âI-donât-know-anyoneâ swagger is for showing off, right? In this kind of place, whoâs he trying to impress?"
Meng Yang frowned too.
Heâd been in East Wu and had even joined Zhao Qi Corps operations before, but he didnât know Zhao Qianâen personally.
After all, Zhao Qianâen was a dignified peak Eighth-Grade; he was usually busy and had no time to deal with Wuda Students.
"Crap, if he keeps acting this cocky and draws out a Scab Beast Grandmaster, weâre gonna get dragged down with him!"
Yang Lezhi was worried about his Spirit Medicine.
"Drag him over here first!"
Su Yue gritted his teeth.
A mere Fifth-Grade was nothing to worry about.
Huh.
Fifth-Grade?
A mere Fifth-Grade?
Am I getting a bit too full of myself?
"Yeah, if he doesnât listen, just beat some sense into him. Thatâs for his own good, heâs way too arrogant!"
Bai Xiaolong suggested.
...
"Lin Dongqi, you better not die on me. Wait for me to get back."
Zhao Qianâenâs face was gloomy.
The secret agent who sent him into the Wet Realm had left right after.
Zhao Qianâen had no idea where he was supposed to go, so he was just wandering around the Demon Beast Jungle.
Of course, used to the power of an Eighth-Grade, he didnât really think he was in danger for the moment.
