CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 143 KILLING LANG XIN_1

The sky was a blood-red expanse.

Then, one after another, blood-red lightning bolts as thick as barrels lashed out at Si Yan!

Si Yan turned her head and cursed, "Fuck!" before running forward with all the speed she could muster.

If the Cultivation World was a high-magic world, then the Beast World was, at most, a low-magic world. With her meager speed and strength, she couldn’t possibly face the lightning head-on like in the cultivation novels she’d read in her previous life.

"This is too brutal! Fucking hell, this is too brutal! Lightning this thick, and blood-red too? Does that bastard in the sky want to strike me dead?!"

The gecko retorted, "You killed his world’s female protagonist; who else would he strike if not you?"

Despite Si Yan’s speed, which had increased significantly—especially after her recent contact with She Wang, which had led to a manifold increase in her strength—her pace still fell short under the "care" of the heavenly lightning.

Si Yan narrowly dodged the lightning strikes and shouted angrily, "Is this fucking endless?!"

The gecko tugged at Si Yan’s hair. "Grandson, there’s someone ahead!"

The lightning was so intense it lit up the entire sky.

Then Si Yan saw, not too far ahead, a group of familiar faces!

Si Yan arched an eyebrow.

She saw Xiong Nai and her males lying on the ground. Not too far from them, Lang Xin and her own group of males stood on one side, while Lang You and his friend stood on the other. It seemed as if Lang You was confronting Lang Xin, and also as if Lang You had rescued Xiong Nai and her group.

Si Yan gently arched her eyebrow again.

All the Beastmen, who had been in a standoff until now, were stunned by the lightning Si Yan had brought upon them.

Especially Lang Xin, whose mouth hung open wide enough to swallow an egg.

Lang You’s cheeks twitched slightly before he blurted out, "You really know how to cause an accident."

Si Yan glanced at Xiong Nai and her family sprawled on the ground, then at Lang You.

Now she understood; Lang Xin couldn’t wait and had already begun to stir up trouble!

Suddenly, Si Yan stopped in her tracks and addressed the gecko, "Grandfather."

"Eh, my dear grandson!" the gecko replied with pleasure.

This was the first time Si Yan had called him grandfather. Although he knew his great-grandson must have an ulterior motive for doing so, he still responded.

Si Yan pointed to the sky. "Grandfather, it’s not just me who has to kill the world’s female protagonist; you wanted me to do it too. This lightning isn’t just for me, is it? Look, things have come to this. Won’t you help me shoulder some of it?"

"Clever rascal," the gecko suddenly said with indulgence.

"Since you’re begging your grandfather like this... Well, I’ve slept for a few days and stored up a bit of strength. I might as well indulge in this ’electrotherapy SPA’!"

He even knew about electrotherapy SPA?

And so, just as the next bolt of blood-red lightning descended, the gecko lazily appeared above Si Yan’s head.

This was his favorite place to be.

As the blood-red heavenly lightning struck, the gecko shivered as if relishing the experience.

"Ah~"

Si Yan: "..."

Si Yan stood still.

However, to the others, the spectacle was not so straightforward.

She was clad in crimson, covered in Jie Ling’s blood, standing under the thunderbolts. The blood-red lightning struck her battered form, entering directly through the top of her head before vanishing within.

"Hell! Demon! A demon!" Lang Xin finally felt fear, pointing at Si Yan, trembling.

"Even the heavens cannot tolerate her! She must be a demon, a demon! What are you looking at? Kill her! Kill her now!"

Si Yan flashed a mocking smile. "Lang Xin, I’ve come from hell to claim your life."

Lang Xin screamed, "AH!!!"

She completely abandoned her composure, threw her hands up, and ran.

Si Yan turned to Lang You, arching an eyebrow. "If you don’t make a move, I will."

Lang You also arched his eyebrow slightly. "Did you... just kill a female?"

"Is it any of your business?"

The lightning continued to strike above Si Yan. She remained unfazed, her face dripping with blood, making her seem even more terrifying.

Lang You appeared somewhat helpless.

He had not yet recovered. He had just severed his bond with Lang Xin and suffered a backlash. His current physical condition told him it was not suitable to kill a female and face the punishment of the heavenly thunderbolts. However...

He glanced at the lightning circling above Si Yan’s head, as thick as a barrel, and his brow twitched again.

Alright. He couldn’t just let a female bear so much. Unwilling as he might be, he had to step up.

"How is Xiong Nai?" Si Yan asked.

Lang You actually responded, "Don’t worry, Xiong Nai is fine."

No sooner had he spoken than a surge of the Wolf Clan’s ferocity awoke within him, and he turned and pounced towards Lang Xin.

"Lang You! You heartless brute! Are you actually trying to kill me for Si Yan?! I’ve been so good to you, so good to you!" Lang Xin shrieked.

This female, she had bonded him with a secret pact. She had tethered him to her side, nauseating him for so many years. Forcibly controlling a wolf—what good could possibly come of it?!

"Such a wanton and wicked female," Lang You remarked. Even though he had fallen to the Green Crystal level, he was still far superior to the Green Crystal Beastmen present.

In an instant, he shot towards Lang Xin, a wolfish grin on his face. "Too bad, I’m not interested."

Lang Xin’s Beast Husbands turned in desperation, frantically attempting to block Lang You!

SLASH!

In a flash, Lang You’s claws pierced through Lang Xin’s chest.

And in the moment of Lang Xin’s death, all of her males suffered a fatal backlash!

Si Yan, her body wreathed in lightning, didn’t dare approach Xiong Nai. She turned to look at Lang You.

This wolf whelp killed a female; by the laws of the Beast World, he too should be struck by lightning. She wondered if some of the lightning above her head would branch off to strike Lang You.

However!

There! Was! Nothing!

For the first time in the many years of the Beast World, a male who killed a female was not punished by lightning.

The rules had, for the first time, deviated severely!

All the lightning in the sky was, at that very moment, concentrated above Si Yan’s head, giving the gecko an electrotherapy SPA!

Si Yan also vaguely realized something. This gecko, unfazed even by such lightning, seemed rather formidable.

Lang You looked on in confusion at Si Yan and the lightning above her head.

Si Yan, looking particularly miserable, stood there watching Lang You.

Lang You pointed to the sky. "It’s not striking me?"

Si Yan replied, "Clearly, it loves me more."

The lightning seemed to be concentrating all its energy to strike Si Yan.

Lang You: "..."

Si Yan said, "What are you spacing out for? Let’s go. Now that you’ve killed a female, the Yanxiang Tribe won’t let you off."

Lang You looked at Si Yan again as she bathed under the lightning. "Are you really not going to consider making me your Guardian Beast?"

Si Yan raised an eyebrow, pointing to the sky. "Look at me right now. You protect me? Are you worthy?"

Though Si Yan’s words were harsh, they were indeed the hard truth. Her opponents were not ordinary people, and this lone wolf would not be able to intervene.

Lang You looked at her tragic state and, for reasons unknown, laughed out loud.

It was at this moment that Lang You suddenly felt that while the loneliness of being a wandering Beastman still lingered in his heart, it was not as intense as before.

"Si Yan, I’m leaving."

The lone wolf turned to leave.

At this moment, the lone wolf understood very well that once he left the Yanxiang Tribe this time, it would be for good. He was no longer a beast of the Yanxiang Tribe, nor the beast of any female.

"I hope there’s a chance to see you again."

Standing under the lightning, Si Yan waved to him.

"Hurry up and go. You’d better be careful the lightning doesn’t catch up with you."
