Chapter 124: The World is Wide, Why Be Confined?

Pak! Pak! Pa—Pak!

Strange noises came from a cave high up on the mountain side.

“Hnngh~ Nngh— Ha… ha...”

Faint moonlight spilled through the sole “window” in the cliff face, where one could make out a beautiful face worthy of a top celebrity.

This was a top-class actress capable of captivating men with a single glance and an entire fanbase with a second!

Yet here she was… doing something unmentionable in the dark…

It was too dark to see what’s actually happening back there, but the constant drumbeats was loud enough to corrupt any men’s imaginations!

No worries though. Nothing unsuitable for children happening here.

Just a music about life… the song of birds and bees…

“Noona—Ugh! I’m—!!!”

What happened next… unfortunately, must be censored.

After the fact, all Yu Zhiye had to say was: man, the feeling inside her is just amazing!

Ahem. Let’s just say it’s good to be alive and not a Lich.

“My, my, oppa… your dragon so mighty tonight~”

That sultry praise drew his gaze down to the enchantress providing afterservice...

Seeing her affectionate gaze and feeling her affection, Yu Zhiye felt like he reached the peak of life!

But deep down inside, he knew… no matter how affectionate she was, there’s no way he’ll believe it was real.

Perhaps it was like a top actress from his past life with the legendary deeply affectionate gaze—it’s said that actress’s gaze towards the toilets was equally affectionate.

In life, who isn’t acting?

Rather than hope for a wholesome love story that’s only possible in fantasies, just enjoy what life life has to offer without falling too deep.

After helping the dragon relieve itself who knows how many times in the full version of what happened, Chae Yoona’s mouth felt tired and she finally protested, “Oppa, don’t we still have serious business to discuss?”

Yu Zhiye gave her lips a poke. “Oh? What business is there that’s more serious than this?”

Chae Yoona pushed aside the insatiable evil dragon. “Oppa, you should know. After what happened today, what should we tell them once we go back?”

That indeed needed some serious thought.

The circumstances has changed. The little square buff icon sitting over his inventory hotbar already accumulated more than one stack, yet there were still no signs of his team.

There’s a high chance that they won’t be coming back…

From now on, he’s nothing more than a lone wolf in the eyes of that pack of hyenas!

If today, they dared to barge into the lady’s room to arrest him, who knows what else they might try! Going back while they’re in base was too dangerous!

Besides that, the base itself faced high risks of invasion from other survivors! Like damn, that’s even more dangerous than the evil spirits in their small temple!

All the more reason to bail! A gentleman shouldn’t stand under a dangerous wall! The world is wide, why be confined?

So, it didn’t take long for Yu Zhiye to decide on his next course of action. “Since those two are no longer here, there’s no need for me to go back.”

Pulling out? His partner didn’t look happy with that answer. “Oppa, you’re gonna leave your Yoona all alone with that bunch of lowlifes?”

Yu Zhiye chuckled. “How can I bear to leave you behind? Don’t worry. I’ve thought things through.”

“From now on, a door will be left at the same place every morning till they’re gone, and you can come stay in the secret base overnight. That should be safe enough, right?”

A safe place to crash and the escape route was secured. What else is there to complain about?

At least, Chae Yoona certainly wasn’t the type to keep whining. Any safer and she might as well not leave that place! But she had no intentions of becoming a flower vase kept in that little world.

“My, my, that should work out. But oppa, what excuse should Yoona use to... fool that bunch?”

“Hmm… just tell them I took you to the roof. Say it’s safe up there at night.”

That excuse made Chae Yoona’s face turn strange. “Is it really?”

“Who knows.”

Chae Yoona stared at the face hidden in darkness and she licked her lips. “Shihehe~ oppa is so evil.”

“Hehe, I’ll show you even more evil!”

But just when they were getting into it…

SCREEEE! An ear-jarring screech came from below, followed by the grating sound of something sprinting up the rocky mountainside!

The nightmarish sound doused any lust in the fun-seeking couple and both froze like statues!

But their survival instincts quickly kicked in and both pulled away from the window in unison!

Just seconds later, a bat-ape creature flew up like a praying mantis and smashed right into the tunnel’s only opening!

Razor-sharp claws left cracks all over the stone and the predator screeched at the sound of prey!

SCREEEEE—clik—cliick—clik—cliiiik!

That was death sounding the horn!

Death came so fast and got so close that Yu Zhiye almost didn’t even know how to react!

Heck, even if he wanted to flee, he can’t! They were still indecently stuck together at negative distance, and the sudden crisis made them tense up so bad that there’s no way to pull out!

He was literally riding a tigress and can’t get off!!!

What to do? What to dooo?!!!

All of a sudden, the world seemed to slow down… he could see the death angel slowly getting ready to pounce…

Flight? The door was mere steps away, but in this straight tunnel, can they beat that death angel’s speed?

Fight? In his inventory hotbar, the only options were sword, fishing rod, rocks, sand…

Either way, he could almost imagine those scythe-like claws shredding off the upper half of his body…

But something must be done! Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration!

In a split second, the decision was made!
