Apocalyptic Beastworld: A Farming Space Dimension to Another World-Chapter 108: Mysteries
Fang Meilin froze, and she subconsciously shrank deeper to Zhou Yunhan’s side.
The two parties were immediately at a stalemate. Zhou Yunhan was standing in front of Fang Meilin despite his injuries while Wei Hao wore a mocking expression.
"I am sorry, Mr. Wei... I don’t know you," Fang Meilin finally broke the silence. She bit her lip. "You might just resemble someone I know."
Zhou Yunhan had noticed the strange atmosphere between the two, but because Fang Meilin seemed uncomfortable, he didn’t dig further.
"Really?" Wei Hao raised his eyebrows, full of scrutiny.
"Mr. Wei, I appreciate you saving us," Zhou Yunhan took a deep breath, "But it does not mean that you can bully my... chosen female."
The moment Su Yining logged into the game she was startled. Periodically, she monitored the beastmen who hunted in the forest outside the dangerous zone.
If she were playing the game, she would save them if they ran into trouble. Most of the time, the trouble came from the flock of fierce beasts they couldn’t handle; either they were in the middle of fighting or were injured.
As such, she learned to stock some pills in her inventory so that she could give timely help to them. She took a few pills from the daily sign in reward and didn’t give them all to Yuanyuan. Thankfully, no one had lost their lives so far.
However, this time, she was summoned directly to a confrontation between two parties of beastmen and was a little confused.
[Help Zhou Yunhan and Fang Meilin return to the base safely? Yes/No. Reward: One chance for lucky spin]
She blinked. It was actually the rare instance where the game system gave her tasks related to individuals. It even mentioned their names while usually the game would just refer to them as beastmen.
Is there a reason behind this or maybe she is just overthinking it?
Wei Hao’s face hardened when he heard that. He snorted. "Are all young people this temperamental these days?" He sent Zhou Yunhan a sharp glare. "Kid, your parents must have abandoned you because of how annoying you were, right?"
"Enough, Wei Hao!" Fang Meilin’s lips trembled, yet she still defended Zhou Yunhan. "You can’t say such things to Yunhan."
Su Yining watched the drama with confusion. She was just gone for a few hours, but Zhou Yunhan and Fang Meilin’s relationship has made so much improvement to this degree, huh?
There was definitely something going on with these two, she knew it!
But... isn’t this old cat beastman also acting strangely? She couldn’t determine his true form for a moment, only sure that he was from the cat family. However, her thoughts were also similar to Zhou Yunhan regarding this old beastman’s identity, the surname Wei?
"Let’s leave, Yunhan." Fang Meilin tugged on Zhou Yunhan’s sleeve, stopping him from doing rash things against Wei Hao. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Veins popped on the black panther’s temples. Even from Su Yining’s perspective, she saw steam coming from Zhou Yunhan’s round ears, signaling his boiling rage.
Miraculously, after Fang Meilin touched him, his rage slowly abated.
"Let’s go." Zhou Yunhan grasped Fang Meilin’s hand and led her outside.
Fang Meilin sent one last look toward Wei Hao. Complicated emotions filled her eyes.
Wei Hao frowned, not understanding where such emotions had come from. He was sure that in his over a hundred years of life, he had never seen this female beastman. Moreover, she looked very young.
Has he met her grandmother before perhaps?
However, it no longer mattered now. He preferred solitude and since they were going to scram, he was sure he wouldn’t meet them again.
"Yunhan, I am sorry." After they were a distance away from Wei Hao’s thatched hut, Fang Meilin apologized. After all, Zhou Yunhan had come into conflict with Wei Hao because of her.
She even takes advantage of him by admitting she was his partner, a chosen female.
However, she couldn’t get rid of the nausea in her stomach; she had no other choice but to do that, fearing a bigger consequence...
"That’s fine." Zhou Yunhan shook his head. "Since that old beastman made you uncomfortable, you must have your own reason."
Fang Meilin felt even more guilty now.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t tell him the truth. It’s not time yet...
At this moment, she also realized that unless she improved her power, she wouldn’t be safe.
"You are still injured." She bit her lip. "Your current condition isn’t suitable for travelling, much less at night."
"It doesn’t matter. We should go find the teleportation array soon." Soon, Zhou Yunhan was then reminded of the poisonous frog. "Speaking of injuries, how about you? Did that poisonous frog poison you or something?"
Fang Meilin only hesitated briefly before she told him. She shook her head. "I am immune to most poisons, but if the poison is potent enough, I will still lose consciousness in order for my body to digest and counter it."
Zhou Yunhan’s face showed surprise. "You awakened this kind of ability? Poison?"
She nodded solemnly.
"Alright, don’t tell anyone. I will also keep this secret for myself." Zhou Yunhan made a promise. "Poison ability is quite unusual. As long as you don’t tell anyone, you will have more trump cards in your hand."
Fang Meilin’s face broke into a smile. "Thank you, Yunhan."
The two were conversing as they walked in the darkness, yet their senses were actually still alert in order to detect any signs of danger.
Su Yining stayed behind for a while, trying to glean clues about who this Wei Hao was. Unfortunately, this old beastman did nothing suspicious.
He sat down on his bed, dozing off briefly before he went to bed as if nothing had happened at all.
As such, she went to check on Zhou Yunhan and Fang Meilin after she rummaged through her inventory. She should still have some teleportation talismans and pills with her.
Xie Ziyuan had refused the teleportation talisman after he could make a few on his own. Her lips subconsciously curled up when she remembered his little proud face.
"Miss Owner, is that you there?" Suddenly, Fang Meilin’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
