Li Man Man was dissatisfied. She glanced sideways at Su Luo, arrogantly jabbing her fingers: "So what about geniuses? How many geniuses have lost on their way forward? Just look at her current strength! Senior Brother Luo Qing, you say, if we bring her to the Inner Magical Beast Zone like this, would she not become a burden and drag us down? Tell me! Tell me!"
Luo Qing was helpless, glancing apologetically towards Su Luo.
Su Luo's cold eyes sank slightly and she glanced sideways at Li Man Man, but she did not make an effort to defend herself.
Although she was only a seven-star Commander rank on the surface, adding on her trump cards, even Big Sister Wei might not be a worthy opponent, let alone these few people here.
Nonetheless, Su Luo abstained from arguing because it was only her word. Anyway, she was already entering the Magical Beast Zone, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future for her to show her strength. There was no rush to prove herself right now. Su Luo was no longer at the age where she would be provoked by a single word from someone. She had already learned what it meant to be calm and steady.
Seeing Su Luo ignoring her, Li Man Man snorted and pointed at Tian Mang, saying. "Senior Brother Tian, don’t you think she is reckless? She even has a bet with Senior Sister Wu You! She even wanted to bet on a life-or-death battle against Senior Sister Wu You. You see, she actually wants to defeat Senior Sister Wu You!"
Tian Mang also frowned and glanced at Su Luo, giving his judgment in four words: "Overestimating your own strength."
Li Man Man immediately lit up and continued chattering on: "That's right! It doesn't matter if she dies by herself, but the most loathsome thing is that she actually used Senior Brother Luo as her wager!!! Her life has no value whether she is dead or alive, but Senior Brother Luo would have to defer to Senior Sister Wu You!" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
There were reasons upon reasons, but this was actually what Li Man Man was most angry about!
She had always been in love with Senior Brother Luo, admiring and worshiping him as her male idol. However, at the thought that Senior Brother Luo would be forced to become one of Fairy Wu You’s people, Li Man Man wanted nothing more than to get up and punch Su Luo fiercely!
Since this matter had been mentioned, Su Luo, at the very least, had to say: “I won’t lose.”
"You won't lose?!" Li Man Man pointed at Su Luo, sneered twice. "Hah? Hah? You won't lose, but could Fairy Wu You lose?! Look at yourself, you’re only a seven-star Commander rank!!!"
Su Luo carelessly swept a glance across the infuriated Li Man Man's companions, and slowly clenched her hand into a fist: "Even if I am a seven-star Commander rank, you are still not a worthy opponent of this seven-star Commander rank."
"Ahaha!" Li Man Man laughed long and hard. She felt like she had encountered a madman!
Then, she glared at Su Luo: "You idiotic lunatic. If you really condemn Senior Brother Luo to lose, I will definitely come after your life!"
Su Lu shrugged her shoulders and opened her arms. She was able to be promoted from one-star Commander rank to seven-star Commander rank within a month, so why couldn’t she promote another five stars again within a year? Nonetheless, this kind of matter was hard to clarify, so she couldn’t be bothered to argue. It was just pointless to explain.
Senior Brother Luo Qing came out again to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, stop arguing. Just ahead of us is the Magical Beast Zone. All of you, save your breath and make preparations to battle."
Senior Brother Luo Qing now felt extremely conflicted on how to deal with Su Luo. This seven-star Commander rank was also the person whom Senior Brother Luo had handed to them and entrusted them to protect. It was absolutely unrealistic for her to go and fight; the magical beasts here could blow her away with just their farts.
Therefore, Senior Brother Luo Qing decided that accommodating Su Luo[1], protecting her, and having her watch from the side was good enough.
Along the way, Luo Qing the situation of the Magical Beast Zone to Su Luo while he walked.
"The Magical Beast Zone is very vast, accounting for half of the entire continent. It can be described as endless. Only the top hundred names on our Dragon List have the right to enter."
"The people at the top of the Dragon List can go deeper in. However, because we are not as strong and are lower on the list, we can only go to the outer circle. Fortunately, the Poisonous Serpent Scorpion Grass is located in the eastern outskirts, so we don't need to go too deep."
"But even in the outskirts, the presence of these magical beasts would still be terrifying for you, so stay close to us and don't get lost."
Su Luo nodded indifferently.
Tian Mang patted Su Luo on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid. Since Senior Brother Luo has entrusted us with protecting you; even if we aren’t willing to, we won't abandon you alone!"
Su Luo: "......"
Li Man Man sneered several times: "What’s the point of protecting her? It’s better to leave her to be eaten by magical beasts! Just seeing her is annoying!"
Su Luo: "......"
Senior Brother Luo Qing glared helplessly at Li Man Man: "How can you speak like this? If she is gone, who will compete with Fairy Wu You in a year's time? Let’s not mention that a year later, even right after we go back, within minutes, Senior Brother Luo would have to pack his bags and go to Fairy Wu You’s Pavilion."
Li Man Man's face was stunned in panic.
She turned her head and glared at Su Luo, pointing towards her with trembling fingers. Her body trembled in rage as she struggled to find the right words!
"You! You! I—" Li Man Man took a deep breath, and then another deep breath, to restrain herself from charging up and smashing Su Luo's head.
It took her a long time to calm down. She gave Su Luo a vicious look, but she still had no choice but to walk behind Su Luo. When she passed by her shoulder, she angrily spat out a sentence: "Don't you dare to die!”
Her Senior Brother Luo’s purity was currently in the hands of this vile girl! It was really upsetting to think about. Li Man Man couldn't cry even if she wanted to.
For a while, everyone looked at Su Luo with very odd gazes.
This kind of look, Su Luo was very familiar with. Wasn’t this the exact same facial expression as people looking at rare pandas?
Moreover, these four people surrounded her completely from the front, back, left, and right, for fear that with a single misstep, she would be carried away and eaten away by the magical beasts. They protected her with great caution.
The veins in Su Luo's forehead twitched. All of her words and emotions in the end turned into a long sigh: "Ughh."
They would soon reach the Magical Beast Zone.
Just as the deputy team leader Luo Qing had said, the area here was vast and endless as far as the eye could see.
The ancient woods were huge and tall, the grass was lush green, filled with very vibrant life.
This was the paradise of magical beasts, the place where humans stopped.
Luo Qing instructed in a low voice: "We will mainly look for herbs this time, and hunt magical beasts on the side."
Luo Qing glanced at Su Luo and said with a sigh in his voice: "Try your best not to alarm the magical beasts. If we encountered danger, it wouldn’t be too big of a problem. It’s just that Su Luo.... So if you don’t need to make a move, then do your best to refrain from making any."
Li Man Man could no longer be bothered to talk to Su Luo, because she had already been angered to the point of feeling numb, and said faintly: "I know, I know! Such a burden! Otherwise, we would even be able to earn a great deal of points!"
Su Luo spread her hands: "If you want to fight the magical beasts, then fight the magical beasts, don't mind me." Currently, she was in a state of poverty and would love to be able to get more points by way of hunting.
Li Man Man sneered: "Haha! A tiny seven-star Commander rank still wants to kill magical beasts? In this place, even a little magical rabbit beast could crush you to death!"
She wore a mocking expression on her face, clearly treating Su Luo’s words as nothing.
