Just as the two were about to leave, a woman's pitiful cries for help suddenly rang out from upstairs.
"Help! Don't come any closer!"
"Slap!" The sound of a slap rang out, followed by a rough male voice.
"You slut, you call me so affectionately every day just because there's food. You'll do anything I want every day."
"No food left, and you won't even let me touch it? I'll kill you today!"
"How could you do this? Our deal was consensual, how can you go back on your word now?" the woman's voice continued.
"Anyway, I've already played with you for months, so what's a few more days?"
"At worst, I'll just make up for the rest in a few days. It's just a few bags of bread, isn't it?"
"This...this is what you said. You've been getting free food for several days now. When you go out and find some, remember to make it up to me!" the woman slowly relented.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you food! Now you can let me have my fun, right?"
"Um!"
Soon after, a series of ambiguous sounds rang out, followed by an ear-piercing sound that continued unabated, making Wan'er feel somewhat embarrassed as she lowered her head and picked at her fingers.
Damn it! Those two scoundrels, are they really that crazy in broad daylight?
That's really offensive!
Wan'er blushed and looked up, wanting to see her boyfriend's reaction, but the scene changed rapidly as soon as she looked up, and she found herself outside the supermarket.
Junjue's face was originally blank, but after Wan'er glanced at him, not only did his face flush, but even his ears turned red.
"Pfft~ Haha!"
"Lord Jun, why are you blushing? People as wealthy as you, back then..."
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"No! Wan'er, I had never been in a relationship before you, let alone had any intimate contact with any woman."
"Really? I find it hard to believe. You're the head of one of the five major financial groups in the capital, you can't be that innocent!"
"Shouldn't the rich be surrounded by women, luxury cars, villas, and countless beauties?" Wan'er covered her mouth and smiled.
"That's someone else, I'm not one of them."
"If Wan'er doesn't believe me, you can verify it yourself later," Junjue said helplessly.
Upon hearing what the other person said, Shangguan Wan'er almost choked.
"Uh... how do you verify this?"
“A testament to zero distance, intimacy, and inseparable bond!” Junjue said with a wicked smile.
"Um... I'm still young... Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go collect supplies!" Wan'er quickly changed the subject.
"Alright, our Wan'er is still young, we can't let those two lead her astray." He pulled her into his arms and instantly teleported away from the place.
Not long after, the two stopped at a large wholesale market. The air was filled with a rotten smell, and Wan'er frowned and covered her nose.
“Wan’er, Weining City is located at a higher elevation. This place wasn’t flooded by the tsunami, so there must be a lot of useful things inside.” Junjue said, frowning as he looked at the dilapidated and messy entrance to the wholesale market.
"Okay! Then we..."
"Roar~"
A huge shadow lunged at Shangguan Wan'er's head.
Wan'er felt a gust of wind beside her ear and was so frightened that she retreated repeatedly. A strong hand pulled her away from her waist and moved her quickly to the side.
"Watch out, there are four or five mutated animals here."
Junjue pulled the person into his arms and quickly teleported several hundred meters away, dodging the attack of a mutated snake.
"Thank you!" That was really close! If it weren't for Junjue's quick action, I would have had my head bitten off by the mutated snake.
Junjue looked at the four or five mutated venomous snakes, each twenty or thirty meters long and thicker than a water bucket, not far away, and said to Wan'er beside him:
"Wan'er, this snake is poisonous. You can't see your surroundings clearly. Let me handle it!"
"Okay! I'll wait for you over there!" Wan'er knew that her vision was blocked by the black smog and she couldn't help at all, so she could only obediently listen to her.
The stench of blood permeated the entrance to the dilapidated wholesale market. Junjue calmly stared at the four or five mutated venomous snakes before him.
These venomous snakes were enormous, thicker than buckets, and their bodies gleamed with a chilling light.
Wan'er stood to the side, her vision obscured by the black haze, and she was almost completely unaware of her surroundings. She could only obey Junjue's orders.
The Duke gripped the knife tightly in his hand, his gaze fierce, his body upright.
He knew this battle was not to be taken lightly, and he had to do everything in his power to protect Wan'er's safety.
The venomous snakes stared fiercely at the Duke, seemingly already smelling the scent of blood. They twisted their bodies and charged forward in an instant.
"Sizzle..."
Four or five enormous tails lashed out, whistling through the air, and the Duke swiftly dodged.
A venomous snake lunged at his body, but he moved with agility, dodging the fatal blow like an eagle soaring through the sky.
Junjue didn't give him a moment to catch his breath. Immediately afterward, he unleashed his full power, and the blade in his hand flashed, tearing through space like a gust of wind, piercing out a dazzling arc.
The mutated venomous snakes were attacked by the Lord, blood splattered, and screams and cries of agony mingled together.
The Duke had no eyes but the battle. He repelled one venomous snake after another without hesitation, defeating them all with his ever-changing movements and sharp swordsmanship.
Wan'er bit her lip tightly and clenched her fists in heartache.
Although she couldn't see the battle, she could feel the sense of security that the Duke gave her.
The battle between the lord and the venomous snake lasted for some time, and instead of weakening, his aura grew stronger with each battle.
Although the mutated venomous snakes had been defeated by the Lord, their dazzling venom was still taking a toll on him, and continuing the fight would be extremely difficult for him.
"Slap slap slap..."
The venom continued to fly towards him from above, and he quickly used his ice-based abilities to conjure an ice shield to block it in time.
"Sizzle~" The sound of the ice shield being corroded rang out, indicating that this venom was no ordinary poison.
This is a mutated ice-type ability-transformed ice shield! It's incredible that it can still corrode about a centimeter off.
Junjue sensed a venomous snake about to attack Wan'er, but he had only one goal: to protect Wan'er.
He refocused his attention, his body moving like a ghost, dodging and hiding, holding firm on the edge of the venomous snake.
Wan'er looked ahead nervously. Although she couldn't see anything and knew that Junjue was very powerful, she was still worried and full of admiration.
Although she couldn't witness the Lord's courage and strength firsthand, she knew clearly that he was fighting for her.
In the fierce battle, the Lord, with his keen observation and extremely fast reaction speed, finally found the snakes' weakness.
He seized the opportunity and, with more precise attacks on vital points, defeated the remaining mutated venomous snakes one by one.
It's really difficult to fight against venomous mutant animals without using special abilities, since their venom is truly poisonous and can easily corrode your body if you're not careful.
