She scrambled forward like a madwoman.
But weakened as she was, she didn’t get more than a few steps before she lost her footing and fell heavily to the ground.
Shen Yue ignored the sharp pain wracking her body and looked up, only to see Si Bao’s eyes rolling back in his head as the man held him.
"Si Bao!! Stop it, you bastard!"
And in that moment, looking up, the moonlight allowed her to finally see the man’s face clearly!
’Is that... Gremu, the City Lord of Barbaric City from the original owner’s memories?’
This man was actually the City Lord of Barbaric City!
’Why? Why is he here?’
The little ones on the ground saw that Si Bao had gone limp in the man’s grasp, no longer reacting.
They all burst into tears at once:
"Fourth Brother!"
"Si Bao! You big bad guy, let go of Si Bao!"
Wubao and Liu Bao lunged forward, grabbed Gremu’s legs, and bit down hard.
Dabao and Sanbao charged at him again as well.
Even the most timid of them, Er Bao, had his eyes red with tears:
"Bad guy, let go of Si Bao!"
As if he had suddenly grown up, he leaped up and bit into Gremu’s arm.
Gremu winced in pain, his sinister expression darkening.
"You troublesome pests!"
He raised his other hand, about to strike Er Bao with a palm.
Shen Yue’s eyes flew open, her breath catching in her throat in terror.
"You dare. If you dare hurt him, I’ll kill you."
At that moment, Shen Yue seemed to snap. Her eyes bloodshot, she took the silver needle in her hand and jabbed it into her own Hegu acupoint.
The pain from the acupoint seemed to alleviate the weakness in her limp body.
The heat flushing her body subsided in an instant.
Just as the man’s palm was about to land.
"Let him go!"
Shen Yue threw herself forward like a madwoman.
Gremu’s eyes narrowed. He was about to turn and unleash his spiritual power on her.
But who would have thought...
"Hey, need a hand?"
A light yet arrogant voice drifted down from above, accompanied by a powerful gust of air.
Gremu froze abruptly.
In that instant, Shen Yue crashed into Gremu, viciously stabbing the silver needle in her hand into his arm.
She plunged another needle into his side.
It was the exact same spot where she had stabbed Xiong Da, Xiong Jiaojiao’s Beast Husband.
Gremu’s hand went numb first, and his grip instantly slackened.
Si Bao and Er Bao fell from his grasp.
Shen Yue caught both children and quickly retreated several steps.
This entire series of events happened in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, the air around them seemed to churn, stirred by an invisible force.
The tree branches began to sway, though there was no wind.
Gremu looked at the children held in Shen Yue’s arms, then scanned his surroundings, his rage palpable.
"Who’s there?"
He felt that the voice was somehow familiar.
"Only knows how to bully women and children. The Eagle Clan, as expected of lowlifes!"
From the shadows, the man’s voice rang out again, dripping with sarcasm.
Shen Yue could tell that the owner of the voice must be an exceedingly arrogant and unrestrained person.
Gremu’s face darkened, his eyes turning terrifyingly sinister.
He racked his brain, trying to remember where he had heard that voice before.
Meanwhile, Shen Yue struggled to keep her balance. Taking advantage of the voice distracting Gremu, she clutched Si Bao and Er Bao and retreated step by step.
The little cubs at her feet also carefully backed away with her.
But Gremu noticed her movement. Ignoring the voice in the shadows, he gathered his spiritual power and reached for Si Bao in her arms.
"Give me that Blood Wolf!"
Startled, Shen Yue tried to twist her body away.
But as someone with no spiritual power, how could she possibly dodge a male who wielded it?
All she could do was pray that the needle she had just used would cause a major hemorrhage in his spleen soon.
’Let him die quickly!’
But now, Gremu’s hand was just about to grab her arm...
She was terrified.
’I absolutely cannot let him snatch Si Bao away!’
She was just about to pull the wrench out of her dimensional space...
When suddenly—
A formidable power struck from above.
BANG!
It instantly knocked Gremu back several steps.
After steadying himself, Gremu sensed the origin of this power, and his expression changed dramatically.
His tall, slender figure, like a strong pine dusted with snow, was so outstandingly dazzling it was breathtaking.
