Chapter 2121: Chapter 1878: Hostage Situation (Part 2)

"Silly girl, Mang Hen is even stronger than Chong Li. No matter how fast you improve, there’s no way you can beat him." Song Yun rubbed Lang Xiaoran’s head and said, "Leave this to me. I’ll definitely help you settle it."

Lang Xiaoran frowned. "Mang Hen really is very strong, and besides, the Python Spirit Clan also..."

Song Yun cut her off. "Don’t say another word. You’re my woman. Even if he were a god, I’d still protect you. Let alone when they’re just a bunch of snakes."

Seeing Song Yun acting so overbearing, Lang Xiaoran felt a rush of sweetness in her heart.

She rested her head against Song Yun’s chest, looked into his eyes, and said softly, "Song Yun, I... I like you."

"I like you too."

Song Yun lowered his head and moved in to kiss Lang Xiaoran on the lips.

Lang Xiaoran’s body trembled, she tensed up nervously all over, closed her eyes, and pursed her lips slightly, waiting expectantly for Song Yun’s kiss.

But just then, footsteps sounded and Gu Feng walked in.

At this crucial moment, when things were about to go up in flames, both Song Yun and Lang Xiaoran felt their mood crash.

They separated and looked at Gu Feng, only to see he was holding a blood-drenched person in his mouth.

Gu Feng put that person down. Song Yun focused his gaze and his expression changed drastically on the spot.

The person before him was actually Dongfang Yun!

Looking at the blood-soaked Dongfang Yun, Song Yun’s heart sank.

He rushed over to support Dongfang Yun and checked for breath at her nostrils.

Seeing that she was still breathing, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"You know her?" Lang Xiaoran asked in surprise.

As Song Yun examined Dongfang Yun’s injuries, he said without looking back, "She’s my woman."

Although he hadn’t formally confirmed a relationship with Dongfang Yun, in Song Yun’s heart he already regarded her as his woman.

Hearing this answer, Lang Xiaoran’s heart quivered, then she relaxed.

A man as exceptional as Song Yun would never have only one woman.

Besides, in the customs of the Beast Spirit Clan, men having three wives and four concubines is very common, nothing unusual.

So in Lang Xiaoran’s eyes, Song Yun should be the same.

Song Yun checked Dongfang Yun’s injuries. Although she was covered in blood, fortunately she hadn’t been hit in any vital spots, so her life wasn’t in danger.

He fed Dongfang Yun some Healing Medicine, then circulated his True Qi to help her straighten out her meridians.

After a while, Dongfang Yun coughed up a mouthful of clotted blood and slowly came to.

The instant she opened her eyes, they were full of vigilance.

When she saw that the person in front of her was Song Yun, only then did her taut nerves relax, and her panicked heart finally settle.

She glanced at Lang Xiaoran beside her, and a flicker of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"She’s my woman, her name is Lang Xiaoran." Song Yun explained shamelessly, not giving Dongfang Yun time to react, and then asked, "What exactly happened? How did you end up like this? Where are the other Nine Stars members?"

Dongfang Yun frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "After we separated from you, we headed toward the Daxia Ruins. After walking about ten-plus kilometers, we stopped to wait for you."

"Who would have thought we’d run into people from the Shen Family, and they were clearly coming for us."

"Lu Tiange was with the Shen Family’s people. Turns out he used the locator watch to pinpoint our position, and knowing you weren’t with us, that’s why he dared to come."

"We fought a big battle with the Shen Family, but in the end we were no match. Everyone was scattered and we don’t know where they ended up."

"Gu Zi was going to run, but... she was caught by Lu Tiange."

"I tried to save her, but Shen Kunpeng chased me down. I was severely injured and barely managed to escape."

"Song Yun, it’s all because our strength isn’t enough. Otherwise Gu Zi, she..."

Song Yun placed his hand over Dongfang Yun’s lips and interrupted, "Little Yun, this isn’t your fault, don’t blame yourself."

"The Shen Family actually dared to touch Nine Stars and kidnap my woman. I absolutely won’t let them off. And Lu Tiange, that bastard—I’ll kill him myself."

Right now, flames of rage were roaring in Song Yun’s heart.

The Shen Family and Lu Tiange—he was definitely going to kill them.

Especially the Shen Family, they were simply courting death, daring to oppose him.

Dongfang Yun asked about Song Yun’s situation. After Song Yun told her, even though she hadn’t experienced it herself, she could still feel the heart-stopping intensity of Song Yun’s battle with the Insect Spirit Clan.

At the same time, she learned about the Beast Spirit Clan of the Himalayas.

She looked at the five Mutant Giant Wolves and couldn’t help but feel a little envious of Lang Xiaoran.

Aside from Gu Feng, the other giant wolves had all reached mid sss-level. Riding them was simply too awe-inspiring.

And putting Song Yun as Star Lord aside, just these giant wolves alone were far stronger than Nine Stars.

At this moment Dongfang Yun felt her own weakness even more, and her resolve to become stronger grew firmer.

Over the next few days, Dongfang Yun recuperated in the mountain cave.

During this time, it was Lang Xiaoran who took care of Dongfang Yun.

Lang Xiaoran was pure and kind by nature, and Dongfang Yun was straightforward; the two quickly became good friends.

That day, Song Yun was deep in the cave cultivating the Primordial Technique.

Lang Xiaoran asked, "Sister Dongfang, how long have you been with Song Yun?"

"Ah?!" Dongfang Yun exclaimed in surprise. "You... what do you mean by that?"

Lang Xiaoran laughed. "Sister Dongfang, don’t try to hide it. When you were unconscious, Song Yun told me you’re his woman."

As soon as she heard this, Dongfang Yun’s face flushed red. Inwardly she thought, "Is that what he said? So in his heart, I’m already his woman."

Although she didn’t want to admit it, right now Dongfang Yun felt sweet inside.

She wasn’t the type of woman who would confess her feelings, but after everything she’d gone through with Song Yun, her heart had long since belonged to him.

It was just that thin paper window between them had never been pierced.

While Dongfang Yun was lost in thought, Song Yun walked out of the cave.

When she saw Song Yun, her face turned even redder.

Seeing this, Song Yun smiled. "Xiaoran, what steamy topic were you just chatting about with Little Yun? How did her face get so red?"

Dongfang Yun shot to her feet and changed the subject. "My injuries are healed. Let’s hurry and head to the Daxia Ruins."

Song Yun gave a wicked grin and nodded. "Alright, the timing is about right. I’ve checked the locator—Gu Zi was taken by the Shen Family, and the locator watch should have been destroyed, so we don’t know where she is now."

"But after the rest of Nine Stars were scattered, they should have blocked Lu Tiange’s ability to track them. By now they’ll have regrouped and are hiding near the Daxia Ruins."

"And over these past few days, they haven’t moved much. Looks like someone has already arrived at the Daxia Ruins ahead of us."

"Right now, the entrance to the Daxia Ruins is probably anything but peaceful."

Lang Xiaoran said, "This time the central gate of the Daxia Ruins is opening. As far as I know, at least seven Beast Spirit Clans have sent people to explore it."

"Seven Beast Spirit Clans."

Song Yun frowned, his expression turning grave. "One Beast Spirit Clan is trouble enough, and now there are seven. Hopefully there aren’t any peak sss-level experts. Otherwise it’ll be hard to bear."

Though he was wary, at this point, no matter how powerful the enemies he faced, Song Yun wouldn’t be afraid.

For a simple reason—he still had the remnant power of Haolan as his trump card.

After the three discussed it, they left the cave, mounted the Mutant Giant Wolves, and headed toward the Daxia Ruins.

Just as they walked out of the cave, Song Yun’s phone suddenly picked up a signal.

He took out his phone and glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically.

Unexpectedly, the signal was coming from the transmitter he’d placed at the Reverse Locking Array at Taoyuan’s entrance.

The legendary Taoyuan had opened.

"I really didn’t expect Taoyuan to open right now. But I can only wait until we’ve explored the Daxia Ruins before going to Taoyuan."

"I wonder what exactly it’s like in there."

"And what level those people will be."

Song Yun was very eager for Taoyuan.

In the Hermit Realm, or rather among the Beast Spirit Clans of the Himalaya, the highest level is only sss.

But inside Taoyuan, there may even be people of an even higher level.

Seeing Song Yun staring, Dongfang Yun asked, "Song Yun, what’s going on?"

Song Yun turned his head and said solemnly, "Taoyuan has opened!"
