Chapter 930 - 711: Returning to Sky City
After extracting information from this group of Beastmen, they were no longer useful, and Little Snake swiftly ended their lives.
"Sister, I’m so tired, I want to sleep for a while." Little Snake yawned lazily.
Its own strength hadn’t recovered yet, and using so much at once had made it suddenly overcome with fatigue, an indescribable exhaustion—it needed rest.
Shen Tang gently patted its head, "Sleep."
Little Snake softly licked her face, muttering, "If we encounter danger, I’ll wake up."
After confirming that there was no movement around, Little Snake lay on her shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
Shen Tang’s gaze softened. But when she turned to look at the vast night in the distance again, her expression returned to being stern and cold.
This group of assassins seemed to have come from the Water Clan, and most of their tactics were likely water abilities, basically confirming that Liu Ye must be with the Water Clan now!
But to reach the Water Clan, one must first pass through Sky City and the Parasite Clan.
To the west of the Parasite Clan is the Water Clan. It’s said to be a sea area that stretches endlessly, with most of its territory underwater. Because of the Water Clan’s expansive territory, the Parasite Clan cannot continue to expand westward.
Although Shen Tang longed to go and kill Liu Ye immediately, the journey to the Water Clan was truly too far.
For now, she still wanted to clarify matters regarding Lu Xiao, and needed to go to Sky City first.
...
Returning to Sky City once again, it was just as bustling as ever, with a diverse array of passersby coming and going on the streets, including Flying Beastmen and many foreign races.
There were also many thuggish individuals on the roadside who looked particularly fierce, gathering together, causing many passersby to make way.
Nothing much had changed since the last visit.
Shen Tang took Little Snake to the city’s best restaurant, ordering two bowls of wontons.
A bowl of hot wontons in the early morning was as comforting as ever.
"Hiss hiss~"
Little Snake excitedly flicked its tongue at the scent of fresh meat, ready to drink it like before, but it shrank back when it got burned, its tongue turning red.
"Be good, it’s hot, eat slowly." Shen Tang said in a mix of amusement and exasperation, scooping a wonton and blowing on it before bringing it to its mouth.
Little Snake tentatively touched it with its tongue, and finding it no longer hot, happily drank the broth, finally swallowing up a whole wonton.
It tasted so good!
For the past days, they’d been traveling outside, eating mostly raw meat, at best roasting it, with little seasoning. Suddenly tasting such a delicious thing, Little Snake joyfully wagged the tip of its tail.
As Shen Tang wiped its greasy mouth with a napkin, she smiled and said, "Someday, I’ll make wontons for you too, and they’ll definitely be even better than these."
"Alright~"
Little Snake looked forward to it, wagging its tail even more jubilantly.
Shen Tang patted its head, and many eyes fell on the pair, some watching the warm scene with a change in expression, eager to act.
Though Shen Tang still donned the "Thousand Faces" mask, concealing her true appearance, she did not alter her gender, remaining in a feminine form with a soft, delicate countenance, accompanied only by a "cub," seemingly without a male partner.
She appeared like a young female who might have lost her partner, raising a child alone.
In the eyes of those single males, she was practically a tempting, moving treasure.
Little Snake had long noticed those eyes watching them in secret, feeling quite displeased, itching to gouge out their eyeballs.
But its sister had reminded it not to act impulsively, so it suppressed its murderous intent, pretending not to notice.
Seeing the "mother and child" finish their meal and preparing to leave, a group of Beastmen couldn’t hold back and directly surrounded them.
"Little sister, why are you here alone? Without a male companion, it’s so lonely."
A tall and burly Beastman blocked her way with his men, a grinning face full of malicious intent, "How about having a drink with big brother?"
While speaking, he signaled to his guys, who immediately encircled Shen Tang.
Shen Tang’s face turned slightly pale, her body shrinking back, her voice carrying a hint of timidity, "Don’t... don’t come over... I have someone with me, my Beast Husband only left for a moment and will be back soon..."
"Stop pretending." A lean and tall man beside also grinned, his smile full of lechery, "I’ve been watching you for a while, and there’s no one with you. Don’t try to scare the brothers with that talk."
"Don’t worry, we’re good people, just asking you to share a few drinks with us."
Saying this, the burly leader reached out to place his hand on her shoulder.
Little Snake tensed up completely, its gaze turning dangerous, almost unable to hold back.
"Swish––"
A sharp arrow suddenly pierced through the air, directly puncturing the Beastman’s arm.
"Ah!" The man screamed miserably, blood spurted out instantly, and his entire arm fell to the ground.
