Katrina finally realised something was off!
She rushed over in a panic!
Dug Jiangnan, covered in dust, out from the concrete rubble!
Full of apologies, “Sorry, sorry! I didn’t mean it!”
“Instinct! Pure instinct!”
Jiangnan was on the verge of tears!
Feeling like the whole world was against him.
Even his drop-dead gorgeous looks couldn’t save him!
He stood up, looking pitiful.
“You lot go ahead! Keep your distance, it’s too dangerous!”
So, the team walked on the left side of the street!
Jiangnan trudged miserably on the right!
On high alert for any trouble!
Just hold on a bit longer!
The hotel was almost in sight!
His sneaky, paranoid behaviour made An Ning and the others burst out laughing!
Just as they turned a corner!
Only 300 metres to the hotel!
He could even see the light of victory!
But then, his body froze!
Jiangnan finally knew who left that bowl-sized dog turd!
A blonde, blue-eyed, innocent-looking girl was walking her dog!
No issue there!
But the problem was!
She was walking ten purebred black Tibetan mastiffs!
Jiangnan: !!!
Miss!
Why does your house have ten mastiffs?
How much do you love them?
Not sleeping at night, walking dogs?
At that moment, the entire street went quiet!
Jiangnan’s gaze locked with the ten mastiffs’!
Cold sweat poured down!
“Woof!”
No need to think!
Run!
Jiangnan turned and sprinted!
“Ah~ ah~ ah~”
The ten mastiffs went berserk, baring teeth, charging at Jiangnan!
Blonde girl: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
She was dragged along!
Skidding across the ground!
Like a sled!
No!
Not like a sled!
She was bloody well a sled!
Watching Jiangnan chased by ten mastiffs, wailing!
Disappearing at the street’s end…
Followed by the girl dragged along the ground!
The team exchanged glances, swallowing hard!
Chen Chen sighed, “Do bad deeds, get bad karma!”
An Ning couldn’t hold back laughter, “Getting chased by dogs just walking! Pfft…”
Su Rui worried, “South God won’t be in trouble, will he?”
Katrina smirked wickedly, “Relax! Good guys die young! Scoundrels live forever!”
Team: ???
Well…
Fair point!
Jiangnan, running for his life, was losing it!
Attacked by ten mastiffs, his clothes torn to shreds!
Ripped to bits!
He teleported toward the forest outside the city!
Finally escaping the chase!
“City life’s too tricky!”
“I’m going back to the countryside!”
In this deep forest, no danger could find him, right?
Jiangnan teleported out, sighing in relief!
The next moment, he froze!
Before him, a massive black bear was intently “ramming a tree”!
A tree thicker than a person swayed rhythmically!
Quite the beat!
Jiangnan: ???
What!
A bear climbing a tree?
Books didn’t lie, bears really can climb!
Impressive! Impressive!
The bear was stunned too!
Its pitch-black eyes locked on Jiangnan, gleaming with excitement!
It stopped ramming the tree!
And lunged at Jiangnan!
Imagine if the bear got him!
Jiangnan’s fate would be no different from that tree!
No way!
Furious, Jiangnan went at it with the bear!
Riding its back, pummelling it!
“Ah! Think you’re tough?”
“Everyone’s out to get me?”
“I spared the girl’s pets, but you? I’ll take you down!”
“I’ll bash you to bits!”
Bear: (╥_╥)
[Resentment points from Black Bear +666!]
But something felt off!
The forest grew noisier, glowing green eyes appeared in the dark.
Jiangnan sensed trouble!
Run!
He was jinxed at everything!
Who knows what else could go wrong?
The forest erupted in chaos, animals scattering due to Jiangnan’s arrival!
Finally, Jiangnan spotted a large lake!
“The countryside’s slippery too!”
“The water’s my saviour!”
Jiangnan leapt out of the forest, diving into the water!
Heh!
Holding my nose, staying under, that’ll do it, right?
No crocodiles in this lake!
Just outlast this bad luck!
South God will still be South God!
But then!
Jiangnan’s eyes widened in terror!
Something slimy slithered up his trouser leg!
Jiangnan: !!!
…
In the hotel lobby!
The team was visibly worried!
Three hours, and Jiangnan still wasn’t back. Did the Heroes’ Guild or others make a move?
Even Katrina couldn’t sit still!
She stood abruptly, “I’m going to find him…”
But just then!
Jiangnan returned!
His face dark!
Clothes tattered!
Soaked, like he’d been fished out of water.
Holding a massive yellow eel?
Team: ???
What had Jiangnan been through these three hours?
How’d he end up like this?
Where’d the eel come from?
Jiangnan plopped onto the sofa!
Letting out a long breath!
“Phew~”
“Made it back alive…”
Back at the hotel!
Nothing could go wrong now, right?
His heart was filled with grief and rage!
The lucky cherry’s aftereffects were too much!
Being targeted by the world was beyond intense!
Just then!
A screeching brake sounded outside!
“Crash!”
The hotel’s outer wall was smashed through!
In Jiangnan’s horrified gaze!
A fully loaded truck barrelled toward him!
Screams filled the lobby!
The team panicked!
What the hell?
A truck crashing into the hotel?
Jiangnan, bloodied, was pinned under it!
He quietly ate a vitality ginseng!
Sitting at home! Hit by a truck?
Calamity from the sky?
Tears welled up!
“If I ever eat another lucky cherry! I’m not human!”
“Xuexue! Big Wolf! Baby’s aggrieved!”
“Baby wants to go home!”
…
At that moment, in a villa!
Andrei, solemn and devout!
Boiled a kettle, grabbed a glass!
Placed the diamond treasure in the glass! Added two goji berries!
Poured in hot water.
Hands clasped, full of reverence!
“Invincible Diamond Treasure King!”
“Nightly revelry, I’m the king!”
Chanting silently three times!
Then Andrei raised the glass, took a sip, eyes full of anticipation!
“Slurp~ ah!”
Andrei paused!
Hmm?
Why’s the taste off?
He scratched his head, took another sip!
Maybe…
Maybe that’s just how it tastes!
Half a month to become as strong as Jiangnan?
Kind of exciting…
