Chapter 1069

1069 Putting on a Show, Scheming!

What was their relationship?!

Ji Chao was filled with jealousy.

Mu Qinglan had never acted like such a shy girl in front of him!

At this moment, Mu Qinglan seemed to think that the fire was not burning brightly enough. She actually turned around and glanced at Ji Chao before saying, “Brother Ji Chao, since Brother Chu is here, our safety can be guaranteed. Brother Ji Chao, you should hurry back and protect the Ji family.”

Her intention to chase him away could not be more obvious.

Ji Chao wanted to die.

He suddenly looked at Chu Feng. It was unknown what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Chu Feng was stunned.

Damn, who did I offend?

At this moment, Chu Feng understood.

This Ji Chao clearly had a crush on her. Or maybe, he was openly in love with Mu Qinglan.

However, Mu Qinglan clearly wasn’t interested in Ji Chao and ignored him.

But if you don’t like him, don’t use me as a shield!

I have a wife!

Feeling Ji Chao’s murderous gaze beside him and looking at Mu Qinglan’s innocent and big eyes, Chu Feng felt a headache coming on.

He could not help but send a voice transmission.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you making enemies for me for nothing!”

Mu Qinglan hurriedly sent a voice transmission.

“I’m really sorry, Brother Chu. Just do me a favor and chase Ji Chao away!”

“If Ji Chao is on our side and causes some losses to the Ji family, those old fellows from the Ji family will come looking for trouble with the Mu family again!”

Chu Feng pursed his lips.

This word “again” was used well. Clearly, this had happened before.

Who knew what a man who was blinded by unrequited love would do?

It was not impossible for him to abandon his own family!

Clearly, Mu Qinglan did not want to face the Ji family’s scolding again, so she simply chased him away.

Chu Feng understood this, but why did he have to be the one to offend others?

He looked around. Alright, apart from himself, there seemed to be no one else suitable.

Seeing Mu Qinglan’s pleading gaze, Chu Feng pursed his lips.

He secretly sent a voice transmission.

“Let’s make it clear first. You asked me to cooperate with you. Don’t be angry.”

Just as Mu Qinglan was in a daze and thinking about why she would be angry, she felt a strong and sturdy arm capturing her!

The next moment, a strong smell of male hormones surged into her nose.

Chu Feng actually hugged her!

Mu Qinglan could even hear Chu Feng’s strong heartbeat clearly.

At this moment, Chu Feng believed in the professionalism of an actor. He lowered his head deeply and muttered, “It’s been hard on you while I was away.”

Crash!

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Everyone’s mouths were agape and their eyes widened.

They looked at everything in front of them in disbelief.

Mu Qianqian was the first to scream.

“Oh my god!!”

“What happened?!!”

“Sis!!”

“Oh my god! My eyes are not clean anymore!”

Mu Xiaohu was so shocked that he stomped his feet with a “just as I expected” expression.

“I knew it! There’s something wrong between them! When we were both unconscious that day, what did these two do?!!”

Ji Chao seemed to have lost his soul as he stared blankly at the woman he loved being hugged by a strange man.

His heart was shattered into pieces.

An indescribable sense of grievance welled up in his heart.

At this moment, Chu Feng actually added insult to injury.

“Brother Ji Chao, thank you for helping Qinglan just now. Leave the rest to me.”

These words were heartbreaking!

Ji Chao could not take it anymore. He endured the grievance in his heart and responded.

“Alright, I’ll take my leave first. Sorry to disturb you!”

With that, he rode his sword and instantly disappeared from sight.

However, Chu Feng’s sharp eyes discovered that when this fellow left, the green sword beneath his feet seemed to be trembling…

When he could no longer see Ji Chao, Chu Feng hurriedly pushed the also dazed Mu Qinglan away.

He did not look like he had tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex at all.

Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Phew… Mission accomplished! This is even more tiring than fighting a peak-level beast general!”

“Miss Qinglan, I’m sorry about just now! Time was limited and I didn’t have time to waste on him. I can only resort to this method to settle this once and for all.”

Only then did Mu Qinglan come back to her senses. At some point in time, her face had already turned red.

Hearing Chu Feng’s words, she hurriedly shook her head.

“It’s not your fault. It’s good that he’s gone.”

This scene stunned everyone around him.

Mu Qianqian could not help but ask.

“Sis? What’s going on?!”

Mu Xiaohu was also dumbfounded.

“You two aren’t having an affair? No way! I’ve been cheering for nothing!”

Pa!

Just as Mu Xiaohu finished speaking, he was sent flying by a slap.

He floated far away.

Clapping her hands, Mu Qinglan seemed to have returned to her cold self as she said coldly, “Alright, everyone, rest up. The next wave of beast tide will probably arrive soon. Cut the crap and conserve your energy!”

Mu Qianqian stuck out her tongue and secretly gave Chu Feng a thumbs up. She sent a voice transmission.

“Big Brother Chu Feng, you’re really brave!”

Chu Feng shrugged.

It’s just a show. Your sister agreed. It’s none of my business…

Later on, under Mu Qinglan’s pressure, everyone tactfully did not mention this again.

Everyone looked up at the sky. It was already late at night.

Strong winds whistled past and hit everyone’s faces like knives.

Mu Qinglan said in a deep voice.

“It’s been almost a day and night since the beast tide began. The true challenge has just begun.”

“Previously, the strongest Astral Beasts were only high-level beast generals. I’m afraid peak-level beast generals will appear soon. We can’t let our guard down!”

“Sixth Elder has also sent me a message. He’ll be here soon. Our defense will increase greatly!”

“In addition, on the side of the Human Spirit Race, only we and the Ji family are here. The Xun family seems to have ventured deep into the core of the Starting Ground and dodged this beast tide.”

“However, there are a total of four king-level tribes on the Demon Spirit Race’s side. Although it’s impossible for everyone to fight each other openly in front of the beast tide, we have to be careful of them secretly causing trouble for us.”

Hearing this, Chu Feng could not help but ask in confusion, “From what you’re saying, it seems like the Demon Spirit Race is much stronger than the Human Spirit Race?”

When Mu Qinglan heard this, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“That’s an indisputable fact.”

“The Demon Spirit Race occupies seven of the ten king-level tribes! As for us, the Human Spirit Race only has three seats. The Mu family, the Ji family, and the strongest Xun family…”

“If the Human Spirit Race still can’t gain an advantage during the next exploration of the primordial ruins, I’m afraid that in a few years, the number of king-level seats in the Human Spirit Race will decrease again…”
