Chapter 9: Kill or chop me up as you please
She stumbled towards Qi Yue, who was like a burnt dead leaf. Several green figures were surrounding him, laughing and pushing each other. The gravel swept up by their tails hit his exposed skin, leaving fine red marks.
"Stop!" The shout stopped the three lizard orcs.
Qi Yue buried his head, his cracked lips twitching, dark red blood beads oozing from his sunburned back, and every inch of his skin screaming in burning pain.
He could hear the hurried footsteps of Zhenhe, but he didn't have the strength to look up. He could only think in his dazed consciousness that she was right. If he left her, his only fate would be to turn into a dried fish.
"Get out!" Jianhe pushed them away and pounced in front of Qi Yue.
The three orcs were caught off guard and took off directly, then landed heavily on the hot sand.
Qianhe soaked the bed sheet she had carried all the way with water and wrapped it around Qi Yue's body. Qi Yue shuddered violently and couldn't help but let out a low moan.
Seeing Qi Yue barely breathing, Qian He hurriedly looked for a place to cool off.
Several lizard beasts glared angrily, "Shangguan Zhenhe! What are you doing?!"
"He's my beastly husband! What are you doing?!"
"He's already run away several times, and we're punishing him for you! Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!"
Damn girl! With such great strength, she actually knocked all three of them away!
The three lizard beastmen looked at each other and smiled evilly, "Why don't you sell him to us? Save us the trouble?"
Qi Yue struggled to open his eyes, wanting to refuse but unable to do so. No... He didn't want to be sold...
"No! No matter how much money you pay, I won't sell it to you!"
The voice above his head was sonorous and powerful. Qi Yue felt that he must be dead, otherwise why would this woman say such nice words.
"Shangguan Qianhe, don't be ungrateful! We want this mermaid!"
"I said I won't sell it!"
Zhenhe picked up Qiyue and wanted to walk to a cool place, but one of the lizard beastmen stretched out his foot and tripped her.
The man and the fish fell onto the hot sand dune in an instant.
"Hmm~"
Qi Yue's face wrinkled into a ball and he murmured in pain.
"You don't understand what I'm saying, right?! Qi Yue is my beastly husband! I won't sell you!" The woman's chest shook as she spoke, and Qi Yue leaned in her arms and smiled bitterly.
Why? Is it because they still have value and therefore don't want to sell?
One of the lizard beastmen wearing a floral shirt stepped forward and tried to snatch Qi Yue from Zhenhe.
Zhenhe stood up and kicked the orc in the stomach.
"Ah!" The burly orc screamed and flew out like a ball.
The remaining two lizard beastmen couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. What happened?! They weren't prepared just now, so how could they still fly out after being prepared?
By the way, she is not an ordinary female, she is also a bounty hunter.
"Shangguan Jianhe! You are looking for death!" A taller orc rushed up, swinging his thick tail, aiming directly at Qi Yue. Jianhe had no time to fight back and could only protect Qi Yue first.
"Ouch!" Jianhe groaned, feeling a burning pain on his back.
Seeing him grab Qi Yue's arm, Zhen He raised his hand and slapped him.
"Ah!" The lizard beastman who was holding Qi Yue's arm quickly covered his face with his hands. A sweet and fishy taste came from his mouth. It was bleeding! His mouth was bleeding from being hit by this crazy female!
The lizard orc who was kicked out saw his second brother bleeding from being slapped, and wanted to step forward but met the bloodshot eyes of Zhenhe.
"Third brother! Let's go together! Avenge your second brother!"
The last, thinner lizard orc hadn't figured out the situation yet, but when he heard the boss's order, he rolled up his sleeves. It was just a crazy female, and he took it down easily.
However, before he even got close, he was frightened by the fierce look in Zhihe's eyes. "You...just give up! There's nothing our boss can't get if he wants it!"
"roll!"
[Ding! Rescue Qi Yue from the lizard orcs and receive 10 cooling patches and 1,000 gold coins as rewards.]
Zhenhe was speechless. In this situation, he had to save her even without any reward!
Zhenhe avoided the lizard orc's fist and kicked him on the calf. The skinny lizard orc fell to the ground instantly.
Seeing this, the lizard orc who had finally captured Qi Yue immediately used his supernatural powers.
The wind and sand turned into sharp knives, cutting Cai Jianhe's arms and calves.
Killing a female is a capital crime. He originally just wanted to scare Jianhe, but he didn't expect Jianhe to walk towards the sharp blade as if possessed by a demon.
"Shangguan Qianhe! Are you crazy?!"
"Boss! Someone's coming!"
The lizard orc that was kicked away by Zhihe first approached, and the one holding Qiyue cursed, "Damn it! Shangguan Zhihe, just wait! Go!"
Qi Yue was thrown down like garbage, and Qian He quickly caught him.
[Ding! Complete the task of rescuing Qi Yue from the lizard orcs. Reward: 10 Cooling Patches and 1000 Gold Coins.]
Smelling a familiar scent, Qi Yue opened his eyes hazily. The woman was sweating profusely and her hair was messy.
There was a wound on her cheekbone, as if it had been scratched by something, and it was bleeding.
Qi Yue didn't understand: "Why are you..."
"Let's go!" Zhenhe didn't waste any words. In this kind of weather, every second Qi Yue delayed would put him in danger.
She held him in her arms, walking in the hot weather without any shelter.
Seeing that he kept squinting at her, Qianhe asked with concern, "It's very uncomfortable, right? Just hold on a little longer."
Shangguan Zhenhe, if you had treated me like this from the beginning, I wouldn't hate you so much.
Qi Yue chuckled, and Zhen He thought he had died, so he started to jog.
After running to a big tree with great difficulty, Jianhe took out the water he was carrying and poured it into Qi Yue's mouth.
Qi Yue choked twice at first, then he held onto Zhihe's hand and began to gulp down the water like a hungry kitten.
"Don't be in a hurry, drink slowly"
The female's voice was gentler than ever before, and Qi Yue's eyes found it difficult to focus.
Zhenhe wanted to give him the superpower repair pill.
"Why?" A hoarse voice sounded. Qian He lowered his head. "What?"
"Why save me?"
"You are my beastly husband, so of course I have to be responsible for you." Qi Yue immediately shook his head after hearing what Qian He said, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."
"I don't need your false concern. You can kill me or chop me up as you please." He was deliberately provoking her, trying to tear off her hypocritical mask.
However, the bad female only helped him gather the half-dried cloth on his body and said, "We will leave at night."
"No, I won't leave. I..."
Qi Yue, who had recovered, kept chattering like a duck. Zhen He took out the half bottle of medicine that Song Qianye had left and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"Mmmm!" Qi Yue only felt unbearable bitterness melting in his mouth, and he looked at Qian He fiercely.
It turned out that she was not refusing to punish him, but she changed her method. What was this? Poison?
Qi Yue frowned, and after a minute he collapsed on Zhenhe's legs.
finally……
She caught a glimpse of his feet exposed in the sun, and moved so that he was completely hidden in the shade of the tree, while most of her body was baked by the scorching sun.
"System, I've decided to use the Ability Repair Pill on Qi Yue.
"Are you sure?" Xiao Hei raised an eyebrow. "Your power is pitifully low, why don't you use it on yourself?"
"Now, Qi Yue needs it more than I do"
