Chapter 688: Chapter 692: Father, Save Me
Even though Su Tang is fine, Gaiyin’s face still looks displeased as he holds a conjured dagger in his hand, walking expressionlessly towards Bai Ling.
The grin on Bai Ling’s face freezes, and she looks at Gaiyin warily, "What are you trying to do?"
Gaiyin does not answer Bai Ling’s question. Instead, he twists the dagger in his hand and holds it tight.
Since her limbs are bound, Bai Ling cannot move. Seeing Gaiyin getting closer, she can tell from his mood that he is not in a talking mood.
Without hesitation, Bai Ling rolls away from him as far as she can.
After rolling dozens of times, she barely gains distance and ends up feeling dizzy, as if there were two mosquito coils spinning in her eyes.
Bai Ling sprawls on the ground miserably, "I can’t do it anymore, I’m going to faint, vomit..."
Gaiyin: "..."
Su Tang can’t help but laugh again; Bai Ling seems quite amusing.
Just as she thinks of having Gaiyin release her, the ground vibrates familiarly.
The sound of uniform footsteps echoes, and a crowd is seen approaching from afar.
Su Tang raises an eyebrow at Bai Ling, "So, you have a backup plan? Requesting reinforcements?"
Confusion flashes in Bai Ling’s eyes, but she quickly raises her chin, looking victorious, "Scared? Let go of me and apologize. Who knows; maybe I’ll forgive you."
Su Tang gazes at Bai Ling as one would look at an idiot, then turns to Gaiyin, "What do you think? Can you handle it?"
Gaiyin senses the situation with his eyes closed and frowns slightly, "The newcomers are formidable; I don’t stand a chance."
Su Tang becomes serious at his words.
As the troop approaches, they spot Xi in the crowd and feel relieved.
From the ground, Bai Ling breaks into triumphant laughter, "You’re done for! My father is here. I’m going to have him tie you all up and see how I deal with you!"
Su Tang glances lazily at Bai Ling, whispering in Gaiyin’s ear, "That one in front must be the ruler of the kingdom, right? He looks like someone owes him money; I’m sure he doesn’t mean well."
Gaiyin chuckles softly. He takes Su Tang’s hand and gently squeezes it without speaking.
Liao Li arrives with his beast soldiers and looks at the beast soldiers scattered about. He furrows his brows, "What happened here?"
Bai Ling cries out, "Father, father, save me!"
She starts wriggling towards Liao Li like a furless caterpillar.
Liao Li finds the voice familiar, but the disheveled female on the ground doesn’t resemble anyone he knows.
Recognizing her by her red hair, Liao Li tentatively asks, "Lingling?"
Bai Ling pants, "Yes, it’s me, father. That beastman tied me up over there; hurry up and save me!"
The color drains from Liao Li’s face.
Baerde who stands by his side quickly helps Bai Ling up and seeing the bindings on her, raises his eyebrows in surprise.
Baerde turns to Liao Li, his voice filled with astonishment, "Sir, it’s a gold elemental superpower!"
Liao Li also walks over to Bai Ling. After examining the metal rings binding her, a smile crosses his face. It indeed is a gold elemental superpower; the Mermaid Young Master did not deceive them.
They had just come out to look for the so-called White Tiger Young Master and Ming Deer Young Master but didn’t find them on Tianyuan Street after several rounds.
Liao Li hadn’t been pleased.
Although he doesn’t think Xi would dare deceive him, he wouldn’t be sure until they’re found, which frustrated him.
Fortunately, according to some residents’ descriptions, several unfamiliar beastmen came this way, so they followed and found them here.
Xi quickly steps over to Su Tang and glances at the devastation on the ground, asking, "What happened?"
Qiu Mo, still upset, walks up and clings to Xi’s arm, "Brother, you have no idea how terrible they were, stealing a cub. After Gaiyin chased them away, they sent for reinforcements, but none of them were a match for Gaiyin, haha."
By the end, Qiu Mo sways her head smugly, giggling.
Bring up the cub made Xi think of the cubs underground being drained of blood. His face darkens.
But now is not the time for that. He looks at Gaiyin and speaks tersely, "I’ve informed him about the crystal stones, we’ll conceal our abilities and act accordingly."
Everyone nods subtly.
Xi then raises his voice, "Sir, these are my friends. This is the young master of the White Tiger Clan, Gaiyin. This is his partner, Su Tang. This is Xien, the young master of the Ming Deer Clan. This is Adam, my sister’s partner."
Everyone stands in a line, watching Liao Li silently.
After Liao Li comforts Bai Ling, he hears Xi’s introduction and walks over with a smile, nodding approvingly, "Well done, well done. Given your courage to enter the Ten Thousands Beast Country despite the difficulties, it seems you are all rare warriors indeed!"
Bai Ling stomps angrily over, "Father! He’s the one who tied me up! Make him let me go and apologize to me! And her, she dared to laugh at me. I want her to apologize to me too!"
Liao Li looks at Bai Ling coldly, "Lingling, you mustn’t be disrespectful; these people are all important guests of your father!"
Bai Ling seems to fear Liao Li, and her body becomes stiff in fear for a moment, but then her eyes well up.
"Father, you’re biased! It was clearly them who bullied me, yet you still take their side!"
Liao Li frowns slightly, but he soon lets out a helpless chuckle and looks at Gaiyin affectionately like a good father, "Lingling is spoiled by me. I hope the young master of the White Tiger Clan can forgive her on my behalf."
Gaiyin smiles faintly, "Sir, you flatter me. It was just a misunderstanding. I’ll let them go now."
Gaiyin steps closer and touches the metal rings around Bai Ling. They quickly dissolve into golden light and vanish.
The others are released in the same manner.
During this, Liao Li doesn’t utter a word and just watches Gaiyin silently.
When the last ring on a beast soldier fades, Liao Li suddenly smiles, "White Tiger Young Master, you are commendable. Despite your young age, you control your superpower so well. May I ask your present level?"
Before Gaiyin can answer...
Bai Ling huffs loudly. Rubbing her chafed arm, she grumpily states, "I’m a level 4 and I can’t defeat him. He must be a level 5 Divine Brave Warrior. He has no shame for bullying me, a level 4!"
Gaiyin: "..."
Liao Li frowns again and says sternly, "Lingling, watch your language. Apologize!"
