Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start
Chapter 176: The Final Peril

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The Final Peril

Not too good?

Xiao Zhan’s spirits immediately lifted upon hearing this. What’s not good about a simple kiss?

And there’s no one here watching.

Moreover, it’s not like you’re being asked to do it right here... Eh, wait?

Not too good?

These words coming out of Ye Youlong’s mouth...

Could it mean...?

Hiss!

Xiao Zhan’s eyes suddenly widened, his pupils contracting sharply, and his heartbeat accelerated.

Seeing the bashful expression on Ye Youlong’s face, he seemed to grasp the meaning behind her words.

Hiss, he really hadn’t expected this – Ye Youlong being so bold in broad daylight, tsk tsk, this was definitely not her style!

Just as Xiao Zhan thought Ye Youlong’s character had been broken, her expression changed suddenly. The shyness disappeared, replaced by a playful and proud gleam in her eyes.

"How about it, did I get your blood pumping just now?"

Oh, you Ye Youlong, daring to tease me!

The abrupt change in her tone felt like a cold shower had been dumped over him.

He knew it; how could Ye Youlong’s character possibly collapse? She might join him in madness, but she would never be reckless in such a place.

Not to mention, they were currently trapped between two dangers.

Having lost face, Xiao Zhan was annoyed, so he decided to seize back the moment with action. He wrapped an arm around Ye Youlong’s slender waist and firmly planted a kiss on her soft lips.

Ye Youlong wanted to resist, but Xiao Zhan’s hand was like a vise, holding her tightly.

It wasn’t until they were nearly breathless that he reluctantly pulled away.

"Don’t provoke me. I’m not just anyone, but when I do let go, I’m not human anymore."

Xiao Zhan warned fiercely.

If it weren’t for the genuine danger they were in, he would have seriously set the record straight with Ye Youlong today.

It was a case of ’whoever is the coward is the loser’.

Ye Youlong’s little face was flushed red. Truly, a woman should not try to be tough with a man; even if she wins the verbal fight, she will still be at a loss.

Because the places where a man can be hard are not limited to just his mouth.

"Where are you going?"

Ye Youlong asked as she saw Xiao Zhan walking out.

"Checking around one more time for a path."

There was no time to waste, and Xiao Zhan couldn’t afford to dally.

"No need, I’ve already thought of a way to get out," Ye Youlong suddenly said.

Xiao Zhan abruptly stopped in his tracks, "What did you say?"

Ye Youlong took out a khaki-colored grass from the Dimension Space, "This grass emits a peculiar stench that humans cannot smell, but Demon Beasts can, especially the Shadow Giant Lizard, which will avoid it at all costs."

"As long as we apply the juice of this grass on ourselves, we can pass through safely."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s spirits immediately lifted.

"Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I joke with my life?"

"Right."

Xiao Zhan chuckled mischievously. His wife never lied.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s get started."

"No rush," Ye Youlong shook her head, "According to my estimation, Huang Fei and the others should also be arriving soon. Let’s take this opportunity to take care of them too."

Ye Youlong was aware of this grass.

Those bodyguards who had long lived among the army ranks might also be aware of it.

So in order to prevent them from thinking of this strategy as well, Ye Youlong had to make use of this Demon Beast to stir up the chaos among them.

Only in this way could he reduce his own risk after exiting the Twisted Jungle.

"Good idea, we’ll just wait for them here."

Xiao Zhan gave a sinister smile and nodded in agreement.

This Shadow Giant Lizard was probably the last danger in the Twisted Jungle; they had to make good use of it now, deliver a final blow to Huang Fei and his group, and when the time comes to leave the Demon Beast Forest, their danger would be much less.

So, they first crushed the grass and then sprayed the juice evenly on themselves.

After a sniff, indeed there was hardly any scent.

Then they quietly waited for the arrival of Huang Fei and his party.

About an hour later, Huang Fei and his group arrived tardily.

Unlike the first time they encountered each other with an image of disarray, Huang Fei and his group now looked much more spirited and a lot cleaner.

Evidently, once they stopped prioritizing the pursuit of Xiao Zhan as their primary goal, everything started moving in a better direction for them.

The Twisted Jungle, it seemed, held fewer dangers for them as well.

"Huang Fei, you guys are really too slow, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time."

Just when Huang Fei and the others were about to sit down and rest for a bit, suddenly, Xiao Zhan’s voice reached their ears.

Huang Fei looked up to see Xiao Zhan standing far away on a large stone, as if he was afraid Huang Fei and his group wouldn’t notice him.

"Xiao Zhan, you had the chance to run but didn’t take it, and you dare to stay put and wait for death."

Huang Fei wondered in his heart if Xiao Zhan was playing some cunning trick again.

Xiao Zhan was an extremely sly and cunning person; he wouldn’t be so foolish as to wait for death willingly; certainly, there was an ambush waiting for them.

"Be careful, everyone, keep an eye on the surroundings, this guy definitely isn’t up to anything good," Huang Fei warned the two bodyguards.

"Yes."

The two bodyguards immediately began to scan their surroundings.

All Spirit Masters could use their mental abilities to perceive certain levels of risk in their surroundings.

But the distance was very limited and very short; compared to Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong’s perception range, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Xiao Zhan stood on the stone, and a few hundred meters behind him was the Shadow Giant Lizard, at the very limit of the lizard’s sense of smell.

Huang Fei and the others were standing in front of Xiao Zhan, so no matter how careful they were, they couldn’t possibly detect the presence of the Shadow Giant Lizard.

"Huang Fei, how come you’ve become so timid, lacking any man’s boldness? I’m just a mere Third Grade Spirit Master, surely I can’t kill all of you?" Xiao Zhan switched to a taunting mode.

Listening to this, Huang Fei immediately thought of the bodyguards who had died.

"Xiao Zhan, don’t be smug. You won’t be able to run far. My men have already surrounded the area outside. Surrender now, and you can avoid a painful punishment."

"Alright, I surrender. Come capture me then."

Any recklessness probably signals a plot.

Xiao Zhan surrendering so readily was definitely a ruse.

Huang Fei was instead at a loss for what to do for a while.

"Young master, let me go up and try," one of the bodyguards suggested.

"Don’t rush!"

Huang Fei immediately stopped him, "He’s been waiting here for us for so long, which definitely means there must be a trick. If we go up, we’ll be falling right into his plot."

"But young master, we didn’t notice anything dangerous here either."

The two of them had just carefully checked and indeed, they found nothing unusual.

"The less we find, the more dangerous it is. Otherwise, on what basis would he wait for us for so long."

Huang Fei snorted coldly.

At that moment, he exhibited an intelligence that was uncharacteristic of him.

Of course, it might not be fair to call it intelligence—rather, he was simply too afraid to die.

The two bodyguards, neither could afford to die now; if they did, there would be no one left to protect him.
