Chapter 80: The Little Female’s Desperate Training
’The Cold-blooded Snake Beastman’s vulnerability really was just something that only appeared in dreams.’
He was completely deaf to her struggles now. His powerful arms held her tight, carrying her to the most dangerous depths of the swamp before mercilessly tossing her down!
"Xuan Jin!!! F*ck, you bastard snake! You stinking snake! You son of a bitch!" Nan Zishi cursed angrily.
The Xuan Cold-blooded Snake Beastman suddenly vanished.
Nan Zishi: "..."
’Xuan Jin just left me in the swamp?’
’That damn Cold-blooded Snake Beastman actually threw me into the jungle!’
She crouched down in a panic, cautiously scanning her surroundings.
The jungles and swamps of the Beast World were completely untamed, crawling with ferocious beasts!
Even a random insect could be as big as her head!
Nan Zishi took a couple of deep breaths and carefully shuffled forward two steps.
A snake poked its head out, HISSING at her.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
She took off, running for her life.
Before she had even completely shaken off the snake, she missed a step. Below her, a massive, gray-backed alligator opened its mouth wide, revealing its terrifyingly sharp teeth!
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
She grabbed a vine and swung past the alligator. Now, she had both a snake and an alligator chasing her.
’An 800-meter dash? A 1000-meter?’
’Who keeps track of distance when you’re running for your life?!’
Her potential was unlocked, and without even realizing it, she ran faster and faster.
But...
When she grabbed a large log and tried to activate her Super Strength Ability to use it as a barricade...
...she found she couldn’t move it at all.
Nan Zishi had to seriously confront something she had suspected several times now.
’My Super Strength Ability seems to be fading.’
Although her superpower was failing, in this life-or-death moment, Nan Zishi’s potential was indeed being pushed to its limits again and again.
She was actually running faster and farther than she ever had before.
She was so, so tired. She could only rely on pure instinct, forcing her legs to keep running for dear life.
’Mom, Dad, your daughter is really, truly doing her best to survive!’
Just when she had run for who knows how long and was on the verge of collapse, the dark, devilishly handsome male appeared before her.
"Xuan Jin!"
This was the first time Nan Zishi had ever been so eager to see him!
Seeing him was like a beam of light descending from the heavens. It was like seeing her savior!
The girl reached out her hand toward him, then suddenly lost all her strength and collapsed.
Xuan Jin caught his little female in his arms. He looked down at this little female who had given her all just to stay alive.
A flicker of unintentional affection and pity crossed his cold eyes.
He gently picked her up and carried her back to the cave.
She was too tired, too sleepy.
She slept dreamlessly through the night.
...
「The next day」
As soon as she woke up, Nan Zishi saw a pile of slightly burnt, cooked meat beside her (probably cooked by Xuan Jin). There was also a stone bowl of water.
But her surroundings didn’t seem to be the cave.
She looked up and realized that at some point, she had been brought back to the depths of the dangerous jungle.
"..."
She let out a stream of curses, each one fouler than the last!
"...@%￥&...# YOU PIECE OF SHIT, XUAN JIN ￥#!@%￥@#...! IF YOU DON’T WANT ME TO LIVE, JUST SAY SO!! ￥@...%... YOU’RE ABUSING YOUR FEMALE MASTER!!! ￥@...%￥*&￥ IF I WEREN’T SO KIND, I WOULD’VE KICKED YOU OFF MY TEAM OF BEAST HUSBANDS A LONG TIME AGO!"
"YOU BASTARD!!!!"
’That bastard Xuan Jin, what kind of training is this? He’s a drill sergeant from hell!’
’I should have just trained with Hu Bai back then. Hu Bai is so gentle.’
As she thought about it, Nan Zishi started to miss Hu Bai Lanxing and the cubs again.
After her tirade, she calmed down and began to wolf down the meat and gulp down the water. She cursed Xuan Jin under her breath as she moved cautiously through the jungle, trying to find a safe place to lie low for the day.
However, she hadn’t moved for long before she attracted a brown bear.
’Oh, crap!!!’
Nan Zishi ran, and the bear chased after her.
She ran until she couldn’t run anymore and started thinking about how to fight back.
After repeated attempts yesterday, Nan Zishi had discovered that for some reason, she couldn’t activate her Super Strength Ability.
’But I still have my cheat items! I have props in my dimensional space!’
She pulled out a Gatling Fireworks from her space and aimed it directly at the brown bear.
Wild animals are terrified of fire, and even the brown bear was forced to back off.
However, the commotion Nan Zishi caused alerted even more beasts in the jungle. In an instant, countless wild animals were staring at her menacingly.
Nan Zishi’s lower lip began to tremble. "..."
’Oh, momma!!!’
She picked up the Anesthetic Gun used by Beast Doctors and started firing! PEW PEW PEW!
A few of the scrawnier beasts were taken down by the anesthetic darts, which startled the other animals.
But the beasts of the Beast World were generally several sizes larger than those on Earth!
Her anesthetic darts had no effect on the bigger beasts!
’Oh my godddddddd!!!’
A pack of beasts chased after her, and Nan Zishi could only run for her life!!
And so, today was another day of Nan Zishi being chased by countless wild beasts.
’I really can’t run anymore, I really can’t.’
’Crap, a wolf!!!’
She pushed past her limits and ran.
’I really can’t run anymore, I really can’t.’
’Oh god, where did that rhino come from!!!’
She pushed even further past her limits and ran.
’I can’t run anymore, I really, really can’t.’
’Where did that tiger come from??’
’Why is there a tiger here too??!!!’
When the sun began to set and Xuan Jin’s figure appeared before her...
...Nan Zishi, who had always hated Xuan Jin, felt a sliver of reliance on him once again.
"Xuan Jin... I’m so tired... So exhausted..."
She collapsed forward, falling right into Xuan Jin’s arms.
And in the instant the Cold-blooded Snake King appeared, the pressure of his presence bore down. The beasts chasing Nan Zishi felt a natural fear and all obediently dropped to the ground, motionless.
The Cold-blooded Snake Beastman held her gently in his arms. ’His little female is so well-behaved when she’s asleep, so peaceful and lovely.’
Xuan Jin’s expression was actually not good.
He had been following her for the past two days, watching her fight for survival, watching her struggle painfully in despair.
’Maybe it’s because I’m a Cold-blooded Snake Beastman.’
He was ruthless. He didn’t save her.
...
「Seven days later」
After running through the jungle like this for seven days, Nan Zishi’s speed and endurance had increased significantly.
Now, she didn’t even find it too difficult to race against a wolf.
Even her reaction speed had improved exponentially.
She could now smoothly dodge even if a small beast suddenly darted out.
She could outrun them, and she could dodge them.
The Nan Zishi of today could even run circles around a three-meter-tall tiger in the jungle swamp.
Xuan Jin looked down, eyeing the little female who had escaped death multiple times. ’Her potential is even greater than I imagined.’
Xuan Jin took out a sharp Snake Scale and handed it to her.
"What’s this?" Nan Zishi asked as she took the Snake Scale.
Xuan Jin said, "Starting tomorrow, you have to counter-kill them."
’Counter-kill?’
’Counter-kill my ass!’
’Counter-killing one beast would be one thing.’
’Does he have any idea how many beasts are in this jungle swamp, and how strong they are?!’
’He wants me to counter-kill them?’
’Heh!!’
’Who’s going to be a good girl and listen to him?’
Nan Zishi tucked the Snake Scale into her waistband. She wolfed down her meat, all while plotting her grand escape.
’Do I need to counter-kill them?’
’I’m fast enough now. With my current stamina and speed, if I get a chance, I can definitely escape.’
She looked up at the sky. It was about to get dark.
’Escaping at night is too dangerous. It’s better to wait for an opportunity during the day.’
Xuan Jin looked up and read her expression.
’The little female wants to run away again?’
’Fine by me. I can let her try.’
