Chapter 345: Humiliation
The two celestial beings exchanged a glance, then hid themselves in perfect unison.
Yu Muhan was a little scared. She released the three-eyed jade unicorn from her mental space and hugged it tightly in her arms. She took a deep breath and said, "Linlang, everything will be alright, right?"
The little beast blinked its eyes and, as if to soothe her, stuck out its little tongue to lick her cheek.
"Everyone... will be alright..."
Yu Muhan was drowsy. She hadn't slept for days while searching for her teammates, and the exhaustion overwhelmed her. She fell asleep holding Linlang.
...
Unsure how long he had slept, Yu Muhan vaguely sensed someone approaching.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her nerves instantly tensing, her cautious gaze scanning her surroundings.
The next moment, several figures emerged from the bushes. Yu Muhan looked up and saw that the leader was a girl wearing an apricot-yellow battle robe.
Yu Muhan recognized her—it was Nan Yan Tingrong!
Nan Yan Ting Rong was also surprised to see Yu Mu Han here. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why are you alone? Where are your teammates?"
Yu Muhan pursed her lips and remained silent.
She was at odds with Xiao Fei, so she didn't like Nan Yan Ting Rong either.
"Hey, Tingrong is asking you a question! Why aren't you answering?!" Luo Qi, standing behind Tingrong, put one hand on her hip, glanced at Yu Muhan with disgust, and shouted sharply.
Yu Muhan remained silent, pretending to be mute.
Nan Yan heard Rong frown, her eyes turning sinister.
She was, after all, a young lady from a prestigious family. How dare a mere girl from a fallen family ignore her?
Adding to her anger was the fact that the unknown girl who suddenly appeared yesterday used a minor spell to steal her Dream Butterfly Powder, which fueled her pent-up rage.
This girl is a member of Ye Fei's training team, so let her be her punching bag!
She walked straight over, grabbed Yu Muhan's arm, and said sharply, "Get up!"
Yu Muhan groaned as Nan Yantingrong gripped his arm, and just as he was about to shake her hand off, she reached out with her other hand and forcefully pinched his hair!
"It hurts!"
The piercing pain on her scalp made Yu Muhan cry out involuntarily. Nan Yantingrong grabbed her chin and brought her face close to hers: "You weren't dumped by Ye Fei, were you? How pitiful!"
Yu Muhan gritted his teeth: "No way! Xiao Fei would never abandon me!"
"So, you got separated?" Nan Yan heard Rong smile gently, but her beautiful eyes gleamed with malice. "I remember you're a healing-type spirit master, right? A pathetic soul like you with no escape skills will die even faster if you're alone!"
Yu Muhan clenched his fists, stubbornly glaring at Nan Yantingrong: "Even if you die, I won't die!"
Enraged by her gaze, Nan Yan slapped Yu Muhan across the face: "Who do you think you are? How dare you be so disrespectful to a young lady from one of the eight great families?!"
The slap was delivered with full force, and Yu Muhan was knocked to the ground.
"Huh? Is this your contracted beast?" Luo Qi's sharp eyes spotted Linlang in her arms, and her eyes lit up. She reached out and picked Linlang up: "How can a poor wretch like you have a contracted beast? Fine, this little beast is ours!"
"Linlang!" Yu Muhan cried out in alarm, ignoring the burning pain on his face, and tried to snatch Linlang from Luo Qi's hand.
From the shadows, Du crossed his arms and coldly watched Yu Muhan's group, clicking his tongue in disapproval: "How pathetic..."
Ming, standing behind him, slightly opened his eyes, his silver pupils filled with indifference.
"Oh dear, if we don't intervene, will the little girl just get beaten to death?" Du Junlang's face revealed a hint of interest.
