Chapter 971: Chapter 974: The Vendetta between Enemies Fades Away_1 Chapter 971: Chapter 974: The Vendetta between Enemies Fades Away_1 In the residence where Lin Zhen was staying, the owner had prepared a feast of delicacies.

The food of the Endless Species was very different from that of the Ground Clan.

The Endless Species preferred raw food.

For example, meat.

They didn’t cook the meat.

After simple cleaning, it would be sliced and served with some seasoning; freshness was paramount.

As with fish and other seafood, they were all eaten raw.

…

Of course, there were also vegetables and plants that had a unique taste of their own.

Lin Zhen, feeling restless after practicing for a while, simply requested the host to prepare the delicacies of the Endless Species so he could enjoy a good meal.

The hosts were a couple from the Demon Clan, formerly Galaxy Beasts, rabbit demons.

Both of whom had their souls locked by Lin Zhen.

Naturally, they complied with all his requests.They quickly prepared a feast and also brought out their hidden fine wine.

After Lin Zhen had eaten a silver spear fish, he took a few sips of the wine.

Having tasted it, Lin Zhen felt the flavor was far inferior to the Rainbow After the Rain, but Rainbow After the Rain is a luxury that these humble households couldn’t afford.

Regardless, Lin Zhen wasn’t picky.

He chatted with the couple while drinking, listening to some interesting facts about the Endless Species.

Among them, Lin Zhen was especially interested in the matter of Lord Juetian choosing a wife.

All the past kings of the Imperial Clan had taken the princesses of Qingqiu Mountain as their wives.

However, this time there were two candidates for the princess position.

Lord Juetian still hadn’t made up his mind who he would choose as his wife.

Both Bai Xue and Bai Su were women any man would agonize over choosing between.

This choice was indeed very difficult.

Lin Zhen listened with interest.

He didn’t care about the others, but Bai Su, being the little fox who had accompanied him for a long time, Xiao Gua, Lin Zhen did not want her to marry any Juetian.

However, for now, Lin Zhen’s hands couldn’t reach so far and he could only take one step at a time.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.

“Military search for criminal Lin Zhen, open the door, open the door!!”

The knocking sound was dull and firm.

The male host nodded at Lin Zhen, signifying that there would be no problem.

After all, there had been several such searches today, all of which ended without incident.

Lin Zhen too wasn’t overly concerned.

After tidying up, he turned and went back to his room.

Lin Zhen cast a transformation spell, turning himself into a kirin wood carving, and let the male host go out to deal with it.

The door opened, and a few fierce-looking Endless Species soldiers entered, each of them at the Spiritual Mind Stage.

These soldiers entered and inspected the room.

They didn’t notice his presence.

One of the soldiers asked the male host, “Have you seen Lin Zhen?

It’s the man in the picture.”

The male host shook his head, “Never seen him.”

“It’s not up to you to say whether you’ve seen him or not, scan him!”

Another soldier stepped forward, using a metal hoop to scan the male host’s head.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhen instinctively felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, a warning sound was emitted from the metal hoop.

“Warning!

This person has been soul-locked, Warning!

This person has been soul-locked…”

The leading soldier was stunned for a moment, then immediately let out a sharp whistle and quickly released a message in the Dimensional Universe, notifying the princess.

“Arrest these two!”

Several soldiers rushed up and immediately seized the couple.

Within the span of less than a second, a space passage appeared in the room.

Under a white cloak, Dong Xuehan crossed the space passage and arrived here.

The soldiers saluted one after another.

Dong Xuehan waved her hand, approached the couple.

Her large eyes under the cloak stared at them, a wave of Spiritual Power pouring out.

“Speak!

Where is the person who soul-locked you?”

The powerful Spiritual Power washed over, directly breaking the soul lock Lin Zhen had left in the couple’s minds.

After the soul lock was broken, the couple had a moment of confusion, then quickly woke up.

On seeing Dong Xuehan they fell to their knees in terror, “Lord Dong Xuehan…

Lin Zhen’s in there, he’s turned into a kirin wood carving!”

“Boom~~~!!”

A wave of air surged, propelling everybody to the far end.

Darkness loomed, everybody lost consciousness.

Dong Xuehan subdued all, then strode into the room.

Upon entering, her Divine Sense scanned the room and soon landed on a small wood carving.

The wood carving was of an animal, a black kirin.

Dong Xuehan stopped in her tracks and slowly walked up to the black kirin.

She leaned in close; a strand of her hair hung down, and a sweet fragrance enveloped the atmosphere.

“What a cute little thing.”

Reaching out, Dong Xuehan gently lifted the kirin to look it over.

She extended a jade finger and poked here and there on the black kirin.

“Tsk tsk, these little horns, why are they so hard?

I heard the kirins are stubborn like bulls, they don’t turn back until they hit the wall, is that so?

I’ll let you have a good wall-bump session in a while.”

“Look at the mane on your neck, does it symbolize your masculine charm?

I wonder if I pluck all your hair out, will you look like a dog?”

“The teeth in your mouth look very sharp.

Is there a black hole inside your mouth that can devour everything?

If I sew your mouth shut and don’t let you open it, will your black hole still appear?”

As Dong Xuehan spoke, her pearly white teeth gritted loudly, clearly agitated.

Surprisingly, a drop of sweat trickled down the forehead of the little black Kylin.

Upon seeing the drop of sweat, Dong Xuehan’s emotions spiraled out of control.

“Keep acting!

Why did you stop acting?

You shameless scoundrel!

You disgrace!

Come out!

After what you did, why are you hiding now?”

Dong Xuehan’s voice became shrill.

As she was the only one present, everyone else has been knocked unconscious.

She didn’t worry about anyone discovering her feminine identity.

Seeing Dong Xuehan react this way, the Kirin, who was about to move, froze again.

Seeing it still playing dead, Dong Xuehan was infuriated.

“Fine, so you’re still pretending.

Well, I’m not holding back now!”

Dong Xuehan grabbed the Kirin’s two horns, intending to snap them off with force.

However, she underestimated the creature.

Transformed into such a small Kirin, its horns were the toughest part of it and extremely hard to grasp.

Despite exerting all her strength, Dong Xuehan couldn’t break off the Kirin’s horns.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Dong Xuehan was so angry her eyes turned red.

“Even if I can’t break your horns, I refuse to believe there’s no other part of you I can snap off.

If you don’t come out, I’ll break your teeth!”

She reached out her delicate fingers to snap off the Kirin’s teeth, but somehow its mouth was now tightly shut without any openings.

“You can shut your mouth, but there are other weaknesses to exploit.

Now, I am going to yank off your tail!”

She reached out to grab the Kirin’s tail, but it wouldn’t just concede defeat, pinning its tail between its hind legs.

“Hide!

Let’s see where you can hide!”

She reached out to grab the tail, but no matter what she did, she just couldn’t find it.

Eventually, she grabbed something.

She pinched it a few times, and the tail suddenly swelled up, causing Dong Xuehan to let go as if shocked by electricity.

“Shameless…!”

She was so angry that her lips were trembling and she couldn’t complete a sentence.

Enraged, she smashed the wooden sculpture in her hand to the ground.

Tapping into her star power, Dong Xuehan struck the sculpture fiercely!

Her control over her power was precise.

One strike, a concentrated blast of nine billion star power!

An explosion of starlight ensued.

With that strike, the Kirin on the ground unveiled its true form.

It was no doubt Lin Zhen!

However, Lin Zhen was in a bad state, with a giant hole blasted through his body, missing half his body.

Dong Xuehan could see that Lin Zhen had reached death’s door after her strike.

Dong Xuehan, who had been eager for revenge, suddenly froze.

Despite her desire for retribution, she hadn’t expected Lin Zhen to be on the brink of death so easily.

Suddenly, she felt somewhat lost.

“What happened?

Why…why didn’t you resist at all?

If you had resisted a little, you wouldn’t be like this.”

Lin Zhen lay on the ground, coughing up blood, and managed a wry smile.

“Yesterday….I knew I did something wrong….I couldn’t forgive myself.

Today….I pondered a lot….I’m afraid…..I don’t have much time left.

I didn’t resist because…

I owe you.”

Lin Zhen, barely able to open his eyes, looked up: “Since I started practicing martial arts…..I’ve never had regrets.

Yesterday….I…..”

Dong Xuehan’s eyes reddened slightly.

The memory of last night’s frenzy came to mind.

The warm remnants of Lin Zhen’s hot lips could still be felt on hers.

In his eyes, there was a clear deep affection which somewhat dissolved her deep-seated resentment.

“Did you regret it yesterday?” Dong Xuehan asked a question she had always wanted to ask.

Lin Zhen shook his head strenuously, seemingly using up his last bit of strength.

“No…..if we could do it all over again, I would still make the same choice because…..you’re so attractive to me, just like the brightest, most dazzling flame.

Even if I knew it was an abyss ahead…..I would still be drawn to it like a moth to a flame…..This is all…..my own doing.

Fortunately…..fortunately, I got to return it to you.”

Under Dong Xuehan’s fox mask, her nose twitched slightly.

Her feelings were complicated and indescribable.

“I deliberately…..deliberately provoked you, so that you would kill me.

That way, I can rest in peace…..”

While speaking, Lin Zhen suddenly reached out and grabbed Dong Xuehan’s hand, pleading anxiously: “Xue’er…..I want to call you that.”

Before Dong Xuehan could refute, Lin Zhen continued: “Can…..can you forgive me?”

Dong Xuehan took a deep breath, her swan-like neck raised, struggling to hold back her tears.

A dying man speaks the truth.

This was also his confession

The deep-seated hatred in her heart now has mostly dissipated.

She lowered her head and gave Lin Zhen a slight nod: “It’s all in the past; I forgive you.”

Lin Zhen showed a relieved smile…..
