What on earth is happening? Wang Zhan couldn't understand it at all. Was I going mad, or has the world gone mad? A top-tier King-level beast, on the verge of becoming a royal-level beast, actually willingly became a mount for two weak women? And it seemed as if the Three-headed Snake was rather enjoying it?! Why can't I receive such treatment?

One should know, in his perception, the Three-headed Snake's strength was on par with those young masters, not inferior at all. Of course, this also meant that if Wang Zhan were to seriously entertain that rather bad idea in his mind, he might be unthinkingly turned into minced meat by the Three-headed Snake. Thus, Wang Zhan was even a little glad subconsciously. At least that beast didn't get me that night. After witnessing a powerful entity of his own level take action right before his eyes, Wang Zhan finally understood. In the eyes of these fellows, I'm nothing more than an ant that can fly a little faster.

「Suddenly,」

On the back of the Nine-headed Serpent, the younger, more vivacious girl's voice, which had been full of laughter and chatter throughout the journey, echoed through the jungle.

"TEEHEE, what are you all doing? Why are you gathered around that swamp? Doesn't it stink?"

The young men stiffened upon hearing the girl's words. A trace of embarrassment flashed across their faces. Then, the young man who had swatted Ta Qing to death waved his hand, feigning nonchalance, and greeted the girl without even glancing at the Nine-headed Serpent.

"So, the princesses of the Peach Blossom Forest have arrived. I've long heard of your fame! We just located that oddball; he's down in this swamp land. We are indeed a bit disheveled, so we hope the princesses won't mind!"

Huh?

The younger girl's interest was immediately piqued by the explanation, and she called out eagerly, "Sister, Sister, they seem to have found him! Can we go down and take a look too?"

In an instant, a girl in a pink silken dress appeared in everyone's line of sight. She was lively and adorable, playfully looking down at the crowd and the swamp land below.

Then, another girl, also in a pink silken dress but with a more refined and elegant attire, her light gauze robe shimmering, walked out from the pavilion. She was like an ethereal being, serene and pure, exuding a unique charm.

This girl gently took her younger sister's hand, a faint, elegant smile on her lips as she addressed the Nine-headed Serpent below, "Lord Nine-headed Serpent, thank you for your trouble on this journey! My sister and I will go down for a look. We hope you can keep watch over the surroundings for us."

In fact, the Nine-headed Serpent's heart sank a little when it heard the girl was leaving. But when her subsequent words, phrased like a request but essentially an order, came out, it immediately grew excited. Yet, it couldn't show too much enthusiasm, lest it appear presumptuous to the two princesses.

It declared righteously, "Rest assured, my young mistresses! With me, the Nine-headed Serpent, on guard, not even a fly will get in."

The celestial-like girl had a faint, meaningful smile on her face.

The lively younger sister, however, could wait no longer and, pulling her elder sister's hand, descended from the sky.

「In the darkness,」

Wang Zhan, who had been observing all this, found his gaze completely captivated as the two fairy-like women descended. So beautiful, so enchanting! And they don't have the aura of beasts? Peach Blossom Forest? What kind of place is that…

If Wang Zhan hadn't known there was something strange afoot, he might have truly believed they were from the Human Race.

In fact, it wasn't surprising that Wang Zhan's gaze was transfixed. The way these two women made their entrance, robes fluttering, was exceptionally eye-catching. Their captivating charm was enough to stir anyone's heart. The term 'slender-waisted' might have been coined for them. Yet, they weren't merely thin; they were perfectly proportioned, hinting at a hidden allure. Furthermore, with their ruby lips, jade-like complexions, and skin so delicate it seemed it would break at a touch, an ethereal aura enveloped them. They truly resembled celestial beings who had deigned to visit the mortal realm.

To put it plainly, these two could easily headline the entertainment section in the Federation… This was Wang Zhan's sole thought. He was indeed somewhat moved, yet it felt as if some other thought suppressed this feeling. Is it because of the distance between us?

But soon, Wang Zhan jolted back to his senses, a ripple of awareness in his mind. Since when did I start actively showing such interest and desire towards a woman? Something's not right, this is very not right…

His expression darkened instantly. He realized that even though he was merely an energy clone and shouldn't be affected by physiological responses, just a moment ago, his inner desires had been stirred. He had almost mistaken those feelings as his own, genuinely stunned by these two women!

Cough, I admit I was somewhat stunned by them, Wang Zhan conceded, but surely not to the extent of already imagining marrying them, having children, and even planning our shared burial plot, right? This is too much…

Therefore, Wang Zhan once again sent out a fierce probe with his mental energy, scrutinizing the two women as if his face were almost touching theirs.

But in the next moment, Wang Zhan's mind tensed abruptly. The situation on the field had changed again.

All the young men, Yu Huan included, were utterly deferential towards the two women, their faces showing a hint of infatuation, their gazes somewhat dazed.

Wang Zhan couldn't help but get goosebumps. What in the world are these two things? How can they be so potent?

He could understand Yu Huan falling for it; after all, Yu Huan was far weaker than him. But for those young men, who clearly came from distinguished backgrounds, to also be ensnared with no ability to resist—this forced Wang Zhan to be vigilant. He deeply understood one thing.

My luck today—is not too good. The big bosses have already appeared!

Everything fell into a state that seemed extremely harmonious on the surface but was, in reality, exceptionally jarring. Yet, bizarrely, no one seemed to notice. Instead, they increasingly acted like green leaves accentuating red flowers, making every smile and frown of the two women appear even more dazzling and radiant.

「Little did they know.」

In that brief span of a dozen breaths, from when Wang Zhan was mired in his mental struggle to when he shook off the unsettling influence and directly faced the two women, everything had already changed.

It was as if a voice, gentle as water, suddenly echoed by Wang Zhan's ear, yet it struck him like a bolt from the blue, making his entire body tense up.

"Human Race? Are you still going to hide? Why don't you come out and meet us? Don't worry, they won't kill you. We aren't like those beasts who love to fight, emerging from battlefields covered in blood and reeking of foul odors."

Then, another voice, lively and teasing, followed the first, resonating in Wang Zhan's heart.

"TEEHEE, human, you're quite skilled. You actually managed to slip past all of them. They're so foolish! Can you tell me how you did it?"

Wang Zhan took a deep breath, his body taut, his heart pounding. He had never imagined he would be exposed so inexplicably, and in front of two women who appeared so delicate and cute. Of course, the ethereal, fairy-like figure had already been unreservedly placed into his "adorable" category by Wang Zhan. Such a young lady, not calling her cute and wanting to cherish her would be a true waste of a heavenly gift.

Of course, that wasn't the main point.

The main point was that Wang Zhan felt a subtle yet pervasive killing intent surrounding him, enveloping him like the air itself. Clearly, he had no chance to escape. Moreover, he had helplessly fallen under the scrutiny of these two women. Even though they clearly harbored ill intentions, Wang Zhan had no way to evade them.

Of course, just walking out is impossible. Not in this lifetime! The only option is to try and bluff my way through! Wang Zhan mused. He maintained his silence, still as a log, using only his mental energy to monitor his surroundings.

Seeing Wang Zhan make no move, the younger sister's eyes flashed with a peculiar light. She giggled to her older sister, "Sister, it seems he doesn't want to come out and meet us!"

The older sister's lips curved slightly, her expression still captivatingly serene, like a spring breeze bringing timely rain, making it impossible to harbor any ill impression of her. She said softly, "Then you go and invite him out. The clues about that oddity should be on him. We can't let him escape!"

"OH YEAH!"

The younger sister looked instantly thrilled, as if about to jump for joy. She quickly and playfully stole a kiss on her older sister's cheek, full of her own satisfaction, while the older sister could only wear a helpless expression.

Then, the younger sister giggled playfully near Wang Zhan's ear, "Are you really not coming out? If that's the case, then don't blame me, okay!"

Wang Zhan's mouth twitched. Blame you? As if! Little girl, have you never witnessed the wickedness of the world?

Seeing that his strategy of playing dead had failed, Wang Zhan's form instantly shifted, becoming like a drill. He roared in his heart, Let's go!

BOOM!

A moderate tremor, as if a plow were tearing through the earth, threw up a long ridge of dirt. Wang Zhan fled without pause, moving forward at high speed.

However, how could those two big bosses behind him let him go!

The younger sister spoke gently, and her words made Wang Zhan's energy clone feel a little itchy, as if it were made of flesh and blood.

"TEEHEE, human, could you run a bit faster? Otherwise, this game won't be fun, okay!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

「At this time.」

As the younger sister's words fell, Wang Zhan suddenly felt immense pressure from behind. Looking back with his mental energy, he saw a gigantic, root-like Coiling Dragon relentlessly pursuing him. It churned up everything in its path, devastating countless plants and plowing through vast stretches of land.

Wang Zhan almost stopped, staring dumbfounded at the scene behind him and the menacing, sharp tendrils covering the massive root, exuding a chilling aura.

He gasped, "Damn!"
