Evan Chu glanced at Lena Zhong and laughed, "You’re asking me what happened? I don’t really know myself. I’m just an early-stage God-Lord—how could I possibly go up against an early-stage God-Emperor? That’d be suicide, wouldn’t it?"
After you got knocked out by that guy, he hit me with a palm strike. I dodged with everything I had, but I couldn’t avoid it completely and got nailed. At that moment, I used my Light element to hide myself, but then, out of nowhere, some mysterious figure appeared and scared Ray Lee off. What happened after that, I have no clue—I blacked out right away."
Right now, Lena Zhong was only half convinced. Evan’s story was full of holes, but she didn’t want to call him out. "At least we both made it out alive. We should really thank that mysterious powerhouse. Could it have been your old buddy, Blue‑Shade God‑Venerable?"
Evan Chu secretly thought, "Close call—looks like I bluffed my way through. Women really are easy to fool, huh." Then he said, "I didn’t see clearly before I passed out, so I really don’t know. But anyone who could scare off Ray Lee definitely isn’t ordinary. If we want to investigate, there’ll be plenty of time later."
"If that’s the case, how about we hurry to Rainbow Court? We’ve been holed up in this cave for almost two months—filthy as hell! I need a proper bath, and we should celebrate surviving by stuffing ourselves." Lena Zhong said with a laugh.
"Sounds great! Only question is, do you need someone to stand guard while you bathe? If you do, I’d be happy to volunteer—maybe I’ll even get an eyeful." Evan Chu teased.
"Keep dreaming! I never thought you were this shameless—you always seemed so proper, but now you’re acting like a total creep. Hard to believe!" Lena Zhong rolled her eyes at Evan Chu, but deep down, she felt a strange, inexplicable happiness.
Then the two of them left the cave, instantly feeling like they’d finally seen daylight again. Truthfully, Evan Chu really wanted to use Watershift to clean Lena Zhong up in a flash, but since they weren’t that close and he couldn’t let too many people know his secrets, he held back.
Besides, cleaning her up would definitely reveal that curvy figure—and it had been ages since he’d been that close to a woman. It’d only confuse him and make things awkward, so better not go there.
"Rainbow Court is just a day or two away if we travel normally. If we teleport, we could get there in an hour, but we can’t risk that—if we blunder into a spatial black hole, getting out would be nearly impossible." Lena Zhong said.
