“Oh? These maids are quite loyal to their master!”
“What a shame that this noble only fancies non-humans!”
Marana and Xiuyan also arrived at the hospital’s rooftop, watching Zhang Chen with keen interest.
“Are you here to challenge me?”
“We can find another place to fight; this hospital cannot be damaged.”
Zhang Chen said calmly.
“Oh? You’re really confident in your strength, claiming we’re challenging you?”
“Don’t you know who we are? Malina, the eighth seat of the Black Tail Swallow Legion, and Xiuyan, the ninth seat.”
“Even your empire’s king would not dare to be so arrogant in our presence,”
Marana said with a smile.
Behind her, Xiuyan tilted her head, her eyes fixed on Zhang Chen.
“Our empire? I belong to no empire, nor is there any empire worthy of my allegiance!”
Zhang Chen replied with a faint smile.
“This is the Great True God; your words blaspheme the True God!”
Jie Xiya spoke, drawing her weapon, a gleaming long sword.
“True God? I seem to have heard of it; it’s what the True God Cult believes in!”
“Someone has already gone to eliminate the True God Cult; how did you manage to escape?”
“But encountering me is your good fortune. If those two were to join forces, even I would find it troublesome. Your escape was the correct choice.”
“Now, I offer you a new choice: join the Black Tail Swallow Legion, obey the legion’s orders forever, and take maintaining world peace as your duty.”
“This way, you might even obtain the tenth seat!”
Marana declared haughtily, lifting her chin.
“How dare you! How could the True God be ranked alongside mere mortals like yourselves? And as the tenth!”
The three little cats also drew their weapons, preparing for battle.
“Heh, you little runts shouldn’t interfere; you’re no match for us.”
“This… little True God brother, you better understand this: the Black Tail Swallow Legion has a bounty on your head.”
“No matter how strong you are, you cannot possibly defeat me and Xiuyan. Moreover, the Black Tail Swallow Legion has many unimaginably powerful beings.”
“There’s no benefit in opposing us. While the pursuers haven’t arrived, join us. This is your only chance to save your life!”
Marana’s eyes were filled with disdain, even a hint of pity, as if she were a benevolent deity saving a lost soul.
“Oh, really?”
“I advise you not to meddle. Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as this!”
After speaking, Zhang Chen turned and led the four women towards the stairwell.
The four women, who had been in a state of high alert moments ago, suddenly began to smile and sheathed their weapons.
It was as if the presence of the eighth seat of the Black Tail Swallow Legion posed no threat at all.
“What? What are you talking about?”
Whoosh…
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Marana felt a chill.
“Huh?”
“Marana, your clothes…”
Xiuyan gasped in disbelief, covering her mouth with one hand while pointing at Marana’s chest with the other.
Unbeknownst to her, at some point, all the buttons of Marana’s outer garment had been undone, revealing the inner wear that encased her ample bosom.
“When did this happen… Dammit…”
Marana’s face was a mixture of shock and embarrassment.
Did this lecherous god actually undress her in public?!
Even more terrifying was that she had no idea when or how he did it!
She hadn’t felt anything at all!
This was Zhang Chen’s warning.
If he could undress her without her awareness, then killing her would be as easy as flipping a hand.
“I truly underestimated this fellow. How dare he humiliate me? I will never let him get away with this!”
Marana clenched her fists in anger.
“Don’t be rash, Marana. Our mission is to deal with the new type of soul-lost individuals. We can find trouble with this guy anytime.”
“But we need to complete our mission first!”
“So many soul-lost individuals are gathered around the hospital. Perhaps there’s something strange going on within this hospital.”
“Why don’t we continue our investigation, find the mastermind behind it all, and resolve the issue once and for all? Then, we can join forces with other members of the Black Tail Swallow Legion to deal with this True God. It won’t be too late!”
Xiuyan suggested from the side.
“True God? He’s the God of Lechery!”
Marana angrily corrected.
“Yes, yes, the God of Lechery! Whatever you say!”
“You know, with our current strength, we are definitely no match for him.”
“Why don’t we signal others now, and then secretly follow this True… God of Lechery, to see if he’s connected to this new wave of soul-lost individuals!”
Xiuyan cautiously reminded her.
She knew how proud Marana was and how much she valued her reputation, so she was afraid her words might hurt Marana’s fragile self-esteem.
If it backfired and enraged Marana, causing her to charge at Zhang Chen for a decisive battle, it would be disastrous.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhang Chen was in the elevator with the four women, watching the numbers decrease one by one.
It was the first time the four women had ridden an elevator, and their faces displayed expressions of surprise, curiosity, and excitement.
“This door looks like a portal; it actually descends on its own!”
“Elevator, what a strange name. There are no stairs here, only doors. It should be called an electric door!”
“The space is a bit small. Are we supposed to squeeze in with others? I don’t like it; I prefer squeezing in with Master!”
Miao Ke, not participating in their chatter, asked Zhang Chen instead:
“Master, the Black Tail Swallow Legion is now our enemy, and those two were powerful individuals, the eighth and ninth seats. If we directly eliminated them, wouldn’t our threats be greatly reduced?”
Miao Ke was perplexed by Zhang Chen’s actions.
He had hesitated not at all when killing Borantis before, but he had shown mercy to these two.
“Because I suddenly realized that many of my old friends’ descendants might also be members of the Black Tail Swallow Legion, like Qingluan from before.”
“Marana doesn’t look familiar, but the little girl behind her reminds me of an old acquaintance.”
“I’m not sure if she’s that person’s descendant. If I were to attack Marana, that little girl would inevitably engage, and I wouldn’t want to injure her by mistake.”
“Besides… with their strength, they are still a bit too weak to pose a threat to me,”
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
“So that’s how it is… I thought you were going to recruit them as your servants too!”
Miao Ke pouted.
“Heh, no, having the three of you is already enough for me,”
Zhang Chen replied, smiling and ruffling Miao Ke’s hair.
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator dinged, reaching the floor of the underground laboratory.
The elevator doors slowly opened…
