Chapter 190: Chapter 189: Big Brother Has a Bad Temper

Ultimately, Qu Tong went in alone.

After sensing the commotion ahead, Qu Tong found a sturdy tree and leaped onto it.

The foliage of the tree wasn’t particularly dense, providing her with a clear view of the nearby situation.

A team of seven or eight people were being chased and scattered in panic by a frenzied bear-like Star Beast.

Qu Tong activated her wrist device’s camera function, zoomed in on a plant with blue blossoms on the edge of the battlefield, took a photo, and sent it to Rong Yueqing.

Rong Yueqing’s communication came through immediately but hung up after a single ring, switching to a text message: "Miss Jun Li, where are you? Can you send me your location?"

While asking, Rong Yueqing sent her own location first.

Qu Tong opened the location to find it wasn’t far from her.

Qu Tong also shared her own location but realized that although internet data via the star network was accessible here, satellite signals were blocked, and she couldn’t send her location.

Qu Tong explained the situation to Rong Yueqing, and described the direction she had come from.

After a while, Rong Yueqing replied: "I know where that is, I’ll be right there."

Seeing the reply in a style that was starkly different, Qu Tong guessed it probably wasn’t the affectionate and gentle Beauty Yueqing who had responded.

It was inconvenient to use mechas in the woods, so the people below were relying on their own strength.

In the short time, the group had already started fleeing in Qu Tong’s direction.

However, they were too preoccupied with saving their own lives to notice the person in the tree.

It was the newly-arrived duo of Rong Yueqing and another who ran headlong into the people crying for help.

The group didn’t care that there were only two of them, they continued to lead the Star Beast towards them while loudly crying out for help.

As the Star Beast lunged with its enormous body, the people fleeing turned sharply to dodge to the side, but it left Rong Yueqing and Rong Chengjue directly exposed under the Star Beast’s massive jaws.

Rong Yueqing turned pale, and Rong Chengjue’s expression grew cold. He reached out to grab Rong Yueqing at his side, but just as he touched her, he was pulled away by a force.

Rong Yueqing was wrapped around by a vine and pulled next to Qu Tong.

Rong Yueqing was still pale, taking deep breaths after the fright.

Upon seeing Qu Tong beside her, she placed her hand on her chest, exhaled, and managed a faint smile: "Thank you."

Then she looked down with concern.

As Rong Yueqing was taken away, Rong Chengjue only spared her a glance before focusing on the Star Beast ahead. A faint blue ice shield formed around his position, but he had already swiftly moved to the other side of the tree.

The ice shield shattered, and the Star Beast’s face was distorted by the impact.

The Star Beast wasn’t stupid; it could differentiate between a tough bone and several soft persimmons and, after a roar of anger, opened its gaping maw to chase after the group that was frozen in terror.

"Ah! Save us!"

"Big brother! Save us."

The group that had just caught their breath screamed again as they fled, the last one even got bitten on the leg by the Star Beast, bleeding profusely but not daring to stop.

Rong Chengjue never responded, his gaze as cold as if he were looking at a group of dead people.

Qu Tong jumped down with Rong Yueqing, with neither of them intending to interfere.

"Aren’t you going to help, Miss Jun Li? Aren’t they people from the Canaan Empire?" Rong Chengjue asked, his gaze shifting towards Qu Tong with deep intensity.

Qu Tong gave Rong Chengjue a weird look, feeling that the man’s words were bizarre.

She turned to attend to Rong Yueqing: "Beauty Yueqing, are you alright? Have some water to calm down."

Qu Tong took out a bottle of chilled lemon water from her Space Button for Rong Yueqing to drink.

"Thank you, Miss Jun Li." Rong Yueqing accepted it, glanced at her brother, and began sipping quietly.

Qu Tong also took a bottle to drink, completely ignoring Rong Chengjue.

Rong Chengjue slightly lifted the corner of his eyes with a smile playing on his lips, yet he remained silent, and took a step towards the direction of the Snowmark Flowers.

Rong Yueqing whispered to Qu Tong, "My brother doesn’t like sweet things."

Qu Tong burst into laughter, her gaze at Rong Yueqing as if she had discovered a new continent.

Indeed, sugar had been added to the lemon water as well.

Rong Yueqing, embarrassed by Qu Tong’s laughter, changed the subject, "Miss Jun Li, shall we also head over?"

"Sure." Qu Tong said with a laugh.

Qu Tong watched as Rong Chengjue took out the device that she had once seen in Jiang Zhou’s hands and scanned it over two blue flowers.

He then took out a complete set of tools from his space and carefully dug up one of the plants, placing it into a box that emitted cold air.

Seeing this, she surmised that the Snowmark Flowers must be what Rong Chengjue needed.

Compared to Rong Yueqing, she was a bit reluctant to help Rong Chengjue, but it was also her fault for not asking beforehand.

"If your brother is looking for something, why bring a delicate beauty like you along?" Qu Tong asked.

Rong Chengjue had brought along tools that could recognize Energy Plants, so wasn’t bringing Rong Yueqing somewhat superfluous?

Rong Yueqing’s face showed a hint of embarrassment as she bit her tender lips and leaned close to Qu Tong’s ear to whisper,

"My brother has a bad temper, and I fear he might accidentally kill someone from the Empire. He has promised His Majesty the Emperor not to lay hands on anyone from the Canaan Empire, and I am here to monitor him."

Qu Tong pondered; Rong Chengjue’s entire demeanor was both righteous and rogue, and she felt that if Rong Yueqing weren’t there, he definitely would have dealt with those people.

Who knows, maybe he had already broken that promise when Rong Yueqing wasn’t around.

Rong Chengjue returned with the herbs and looked at Qu Tong, saying after a long while, "This time, I owe you one."

Qu Tong, rarity seeing Rong Chengjue speak so seriously, was contemplating how to tactfully and impolitely covet his Sky Crystal Mine when a beast’s roar came from afar, deafening to the ears.

The three of them looked together.

They saw that the eight who had just escaped had returned, but now only three remained.

All three were covered in blood, lacking any strength, and were crawling and rolling, running for their lives, calling for help, their eyes filled with despair.

It was indeed quite despairing. They had just been followed by a rank seven Star Beast, but now it had been replaced by a rank nine.

This was an apex existence among Star Beasts.

Qu Tong and Rong Chengjue exchanged glances, each seeing the same idea in the other’s eyes. Qu Tong pulled on Rong Yueqing’s wrist through her sleeve.

The person running at the front, seeing Qu Tong and the others about to abandon them again, flashed a venomous look and took out a huge egg from the Space Button, hurling it hard at them.

Qu Tong was about to snatch it with a vine, but Rong Chengjue’s face darkened as he summoned an ice sword, shattering the egg; egg shells and fluid scattered everywhere.

Qu Tong: "..."

Rong Yueqing was right, Rong Chengjue had a very bad temper, extremely bad!

Never mind why a Star Beast resembling a lion-tiger laid eggs, but these few AB-rank trash, with such a huge power disparity, why would the rank nine Star Beast not just kill them with a single slap but rather just chase after them?

Anyone who thought for an extra second would know there was something fishy going on.

Following another roar, the three cannon fodder were turned into chunks by the lion-tiger Star Beast’s wind blade, the scene horrifically bloody.

Qu Tong used a leaf to shield Rong Yueqing’s eyes.

Then, turning to look at the Star Beast, her expression became somewhat solemn.

It was unknown where those unfortunate ones had provoked such formidable two rank nine Star Beasts.

Indeed, there were two!

A male and a female.
