"Brother Sun, can you bring me with you?"
Zhang Che was stunned the moment he heard this.
"Why?" Zhang Che couldn't understand Chen Lishan. -Didn't she grow up in the Bei Mei region? She should be used to life around here. Can she really adapt to the new environment?-
"You've seen it for yourself. The Chinese are actually very discriminated upon here. If you hadn't displayed your skills intentionally earlier, perhaps we'd be brought back to the police station by now." Chen Lishan lamented, her palms spread, shrugging.
However, Zhang Che didn't really believe her. He knew that there must be some other reasons. However, they weren't very close, after all, and thus he stopped himself from asking further.
-Although... you could leave this place whenever you wanted. What do you mean for me to bring you along?-
Chen Lishan saw through Zhang Che's doubt. She smiled bitterly and continued, "Because I can't afford the sky shuttle ticket! So I can only ask Brother Sun to bring me with you. Mmm, don't worry, I'll slowly repay you when I find a job in Hua Xia."
After a slight pause, Chen Lishan suddenly chuckled, "Why not, treat it as you keeping me as your mistress? Hahahaha, I'm just joking. Look at your face..."
Zhang Che nodded, "Fine, just slowly pay me back when we're in Hua Xia."
As they spoke, the two turned back and bought another ticket, then flagged down another taxi and left.
This time, Zhang Che took the front passenger seat. Not long after the taxi drove off, he glanced at the rearview mirror, and as he expected, that familiar car was tailing behind them from some distance away.
Zhang Che revealed a hint of a smile, not saying anything.
-Could it be because I stayed a night at Angelina's place?-
Other than this, Zhang Che truly couldn't think of any other reason. Chen Lishan obviously didn't know that white youngster either, so he couldn't possibly be finding trouble with Zhang Che because of her.
-Just come at me if you dare... -
The ride was one without any conversation. When they arrived at Chen Lishan's apartment, Zhang Che realized that her home was actually very small. It seemed like she was telling the truth; her financial status was less than ideal.
"Take a rest at the living room first; I'll go prepare food. Ah, right, I can only fix a few Hua Xia dishes. I hope you'll like them." After settling Zhang Che down at the living room, Chen Lishan put on her apron and took out some ingredients from her fridge and hurriedly went into the kitchen.
"It's fine. I'm not very picky about food."
Mmm, Zhang Che was indeed not picky for now. He would be satisfied as long as there was something for him to eat.
What a pitiful guy he was. He hadn't had a filling meal ever since he hid himself in Angelina's guest room yesterday night and ate a few dozen kilograms of exotic fruits. He was literally shaking from hunger right now.
If someone gave him a piece of raw meat right now, he would even eat it without hesitation!
"Looks like there's a need for me to find an opportunity to enter the beast world again. I have to hunt more exotic beasts, prepare some roasted meat and keep them in storage. Otherwise, it'd be really stupid if I starved to death some day..."
On his way back from the beast world this time, due to his meeting with Chen Lishan and the others, he didn't have any opportunities to prepare roasted meat for storage. Now, he was met with the pain of starving.
As he was really too hungry, Zhang Che stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, his eyes wandering out of the windows.
-Tsk, that guy is pretty patient. He followed us all this way and was able to endure making no moves?- Zhang Che guessed that the white youngster saw how powerful the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander was and was feeling apprehensive about doing anything.
Suddenly, Chen Lishan's voice rang out from the kitchen, "Give me a hand, Brother Sun, the food is ready!"
Zhang Che hurriedly walked over. Other than a few simple dishes, he even saw half a pot of meatball soup. The thick fragrance of meat almost made Zhang Che drool.
"Erm, this shouldn't be too much, right? I noticed your appetite is quite big. I was afraid you wouldn't have enough to eat and thus cooked a little more, " Chen Lishan giggled.
-Hmm, this miss is quite attentive!-
Zhang Che smiled, "It's not too much. Thank you, Lishan!"
In fact, he nearly wept in his heart! -Miss, since you know I have a huge appetite, why didn't you cook even more? Since you're already leaving, just bring out all your food. Wouldn't it be better?-
The two worked together and brought all the food to the dining table in the living room. Chen Lishan opened a cupboard at the side, smiling, "Want some wine?"
Zhang Che was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but remember what happened last night, then immediately shook his head, "Ugh, better not."
"Hehehe, just a little bit, okay?" Chen Lishan ignored the obvious embarrassment on Zhang Che's face. She giggled, "Don't worry, I won't crawl into your bed in the middle of the night."
Zhang Che almost wanted to hide under the table.
"Can we not talk about this... oh shit!"
A fiery light shone in the distance. Immediately after, the glass in Chen Lishan's living room shattered into countless pieces, streaking everywhere. A spinning rocket was flying towards Zhang Che and Chen Lishan at lightning speed!
In the time it took a spark to ignite, a five-colored ray of light shot out between Zhang Che's brow and materialized into a huge purple tortoise in mid air, facing the approaching rocket. The huge tortoise opened its mouth wide, swallowing it into its spatial pocket.
"Stay right here and don't move; it will be fine!" Zhang Che instructed. Meanwhile, he summoned the Seven Star Silver Beetle armor, enveloping his body, and charged out of the living room.
Chen Lishan's face was filled with fright as she watched Zhang Che.
She looked at the Purple Crystal Tortoise laying quietly on the ground of the ruined living room. Countless emotions flashed in her eyes.
-Who exactly is this Sun Che? Is he a high-tier beastmaster? Why else would he have so many powerful exotic beasts?-
-Then, when he returns, should I... -
"My god!" On the roof of a low-rise apartment a hundred-plus meters away, the white youngster dropped the rocket launcher in his hands. He revealed an astonished look as if he had seen a ghost and immediately turned to run without hesitation.
Under the envelopment of the silvery armor, Zhang Che's eyes revealed a faint smile in ridicule. -Run, where can you run to?-
Putting all his strength into his legs, Zhang Che's running speed reached an astonishing degree. The distance of over a hundred meters was covered in mere seconds.
Seeing the white teenager on the low building trying to escape, a savage-looking purplish-brown long whip suddenly appeared in Zhang Che's hand. With a light lash, the long whip hooked onto the top of the building, and Zhang Che's entire body was directly pulled up just like that.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" the white youngster was in a panic, cursing out loud as he jumped down from platform to platform."Shit! Shit! Shit!"
At this moment, all he wanted was to run to somewhere with other people around. That damned fellow wouldn't dare to make a move on him then, right?
Alas, he would never have the chance to do that.
A long whip suddenly flew through the air and coiled around his waist, pulling him back.
The barbs on the long whip instantly pierced through the white youngster's clothing into his skin, the lethal poison contained in it immediately invaded his body.
"Ow... !" a miserable howl rang out before the teenager fainted.
