Is it her?

“You’re awake.”

How could such an unpleasant voice exist in the world?

It was like a sound held in for half a day after a meal in a latrine, utterly nauseating.

Suddenly, that face was looking down from above.

That face, wrinkled like a daisy, appeared in mid-air without a sound.

Even Su Xuan, who had lived two lives, was scared half to death by this ghostly trick.

After all, not everyone could appreciate a face like a daisy.

The daisy-like mouth opened and closed, its voice like the roar of a demon: “So you really are awake. Heh heh heh~”

“You must be Su Xuan. Quite the looker, just like a little girl.”

Wang Xiang looked at the person tied up on the ground.

Even he, who had seen countless people, had to admit that this boy named Su Xuan was more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen.

He could no longer be described as beautiful; bewitching was more appropriate.

Even though Wang Xiang had abstained from women for many years, that face, half-saintly and half-sensual, stirred a sliver of desire within him.

Su Xuan was panting heavily.

If he didn’t already know the old man was the head of the cult, he might have thought he was about to make small talk.

A familiar name was spoken.

“Do you know who Zuo Tao is?”

Su Xuan had learned this name from Captain Chen who had visited him, the name of the person who had tried to assassinate him early that morning.

“Yes.”

“Who killed him?”

“I don’t know.”

“Hmm…”

Wang Xiang suddenly moved closer to Su Xuan, touching his collagen-rich cheek with a coarse hand.

He said slowly, “Describe his appearance. You should know, our divine religion has all sorts of talents, even if you are a boy.”

Su Xuan glared fiercely at Wang Xiang.

If looks could kill, Wang Xiang would have died countless times over.

“Don’t look at me like that. If you tell me, I can grant you a quick death. If not, then you will wish for death, but find no release. You should believe in our methods of torture.”

“I… I’ll talk. I only vaguely saw the appearance of the person who killed Zuo Tao. She had a pale yellow dress, and fluffy hair.”

In reality, Su Xuan was cursing wildly in his heart: ‘To hell with you! I’m the one who killed him! What pale yellow dress and fluffy hair?’

Wang Xiang paused, searching his memory for someone who matched Su Xuan’s description, apparently not considering that Su Xuan was just making things up.

Perhaps it was due to his overconfidence; after all, his opponent was just a high school student. A simple threat would surely make him confess.

Wang Xiang was silent.

‘Could it be her?’

Su Xuan thought to himself, ‘What the hell, there’s actually a person like that?’

He was truly at a loss for words.

How could someone fit the description of a person he had just randomly fabricated?

He didn’t understand.

“If it’s her, then it would make sense. But once I become a true divine envoy, I will have nothing to fear!”

The old man muttered to himself, seeming to have a clear target in mind.

Su Xuan, however, was dumbfounded.

‘Who is she? Who is this person who inexplicably saved me?’

“You shall all become sacrifices for the god’s descent!”

The old man glanced at the two on the ground and pressed a button.

A few people came down and tied Su Xuan and Gao Chong up with a kind of special metal wire.

Suddenly, he felt as if the Life Source Energy in his body was being pulled by some force, conducted away by the special metal wires.

Moreover, his whole body was now limp, completely devoid of strength.

Su Xuan quickly cried out to Su Xuan’er for help: ‘Oh no… it’s over! Su Xuan’er, save me!’

Su Xuan’er replied, “Hold on.”

As her voice fell, he felt a special power emerge within his body.

The Life Source Energy that was about to leave his body completely halted its outward flow, instead gathering towards his kidneys.

His strength also gradually returned, as if he was no longer affected by the special metal wires.

Countless streams of Life Source Energy seeped out from the gaps between his cells, converging above his kidneys to form a small pond.

The Life Source Energy was the water in that pond.

“I’m saved~ It’s all thanks to you.”

“We are one.”

“I’m still the awesome one~”

“…”

The cult leader and his staff didn’t seem to notice anything unusual about Su Xuan.

The old man had his back to Su Xuan, muttering something, perhaps some evil scripture of their cult.

The few cultists who had tied up Su Xuan and Gao Chong had been ordered out by the old man.

Looking at the old man’s thin back and the back of his head, Su Xuan suddenly had the urge to launch a sneak attack, but he suppressed it.

What if this old man was a very powerful figure?

No, he was definitely a very powerful figure.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just been talking about finding trouble with that unnamed hero.

By “unnamed hero,” Su Xuan was referring to the master he had fabricated who actually existed.

She had unintentionally saved his chastity.

If his body was truly defiled by those disgusting guys, Su Xuan felt he would have no face to live in this world.

To think that before he had even shed the title of virgin, he was about to be…

Thankfully, the unnamed hero came to the rescue.

Otherwise, he’d probably be caught between a rock and… a lot of hard men.

And since this old man was the leader of this area, his strength definitely wouldn’t be weak.

In a cult, the higher the position, the stronger the person.

Although he didn’t know the strength of the unnamed hero, she was certainly not a nobody.

Otherwise, why would he use “she” to refer to her?

In novels, anyone referred to in the third person was never a weakling.

Although Su Xuan knew this wasn’t a novel, anyone who could be referred to as “she” had to be very special.

The old man never imagined that Su Xuan, bound by the Divine Rope, would still have the energy for so many thoughts.

Right now, he was waiting, waiting for the moment the altar would light up.

It wouldn’t be long now.

It would be very soon.

“Oh, Captain Su, finished your mission so quickly?”

The staffer in charge of mission assignments looked at Su Chen, who was carrying a long saber with an indifferent expression.

He was a bit surprised why he had suddenly gone out on a mission, swapping his rest time with another squad.

Generally speaking, very few people would change their missions or swap with others.

Because in this area, in order to withstand the unbearable pressure, everyone had unconsciously developed a unique biological clock, a unique combat cycle.

When to go on missions and when to rest each month was all specially arranged.

Once you swapped missions with someone, it would immediately mess up the rhythm of two teams, and the overall impact would be quite significant.

And this time, Su Chen had exchanged missions with another super squad.

The White Light Squad, which was supposed to be on a mission, was rescheduled for rest, while the Morning Dawn Squad, which was supposed to be resting, chose to go on a mission.

Although the captain of the White Light Squad didn’t like messing up his team’s rhythm either, the moment he saw that the indifferent guy would one day actually ask him for a favor, he immediately agreed.

Su Chen, the indifferent god, would one day come to him for help.

Bai Tianyu felt he could secretly be happy about this for a good while.

Although both were super squads, the strength of the Morning Dawn Squad was far above that of the White Light Squad.

And Su Chen’s strength was even greater than his, Bai Tianyu’s.

But none of that mattered.

After all, Su Chen had a favor to ask of him, Bai Tianyu.

With this, wouldn’t it make the White Light Squad seem even more impressive?
