Chapter 199: Angry

Zhuang Yun relied on his unwavering determination and finally killed a wild monster, while Shen Jufeng had been focused on luring out the wild monster and did not actually kill it.

Yong Lin took care of one, and Lu Jiu had the most, eliminating three of them directly. Now, there was only one wild monster remaining.

There is no such thing as a wild monster retreating. Even if all of its companions fall, it will still jump down to bite Lu Jiu.

This sudden blow gave Shen Jufeng no time to stop it. The wild monster climbed onto the tree closest to Lu Jiu at some point.

Lu Jiu noticed the movement, turned around, and shot an arrow without moving.

The Green Tong Spider rushed straight toward her, and Shen Jufeng's face filled with anxiety. "Get away from Lu Jiu!"

Lu Jiu felt her eyes blur as a white whip struck the Green Tong Spider forcefully, leaving it stunned. Whip it to the ground.

Lu Jiu turned around and smiled at Yong Lin. This young man did not disappoint her.

The wild monster, which had been knocked to the ground, turned over and continued to charge forward. At that moment, Shen Jufeng had already arrived in front of Lu Jiu and looked at her intently.

He quickly turned around with a gloomy face, raised his sword, and swiftly stabbed it multiple times. The final strike cleanly severed the red head of the green spider.

Zhuang Yun also fell to the ground and quietly approached Lu Jiu. He asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Lu Jiu shook her head and said, "Yong Lin is very fast and won't let me be attacked by wild monsters."

After Shen Jufeng killed the wild monster, he turned around and continued on his way without uttering a word.

He was angry.

At that moment, the three remaining team members did not dare to say anything. Yong Lin might not know clearly, but this was the first time Zhuang Yun and Lu Jiu had seen him angry.

After walking for a while, Zhuang Yun nudged Lu Jiu with his arm and gestured with his chin towards Shen Jufeng, who was in front.

He wanted her to coax him, but Shen Jufeng must have been angry because she didn't immediately dodge the wild monster's attack.

Lu Jiu was as nervous as when the teacher asked her to go to the office after class at school. Under Zhuang Yun's silent urging, she closed her eyes and ran forward.

Shen Jufeng heard Lu Jiu running towards him, but he maintained a cold expression.

As a result, he felt his hand grasp the other's, and Lu Jiu pulled him forward directly.

The two walked forward for a while and stopped when they didn't see their two teammates upon looking back.

Lu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and released Shen Jufeng's hand. When she looked up, she noticed that the other person's expression was extremely bad, just like the cloudy day with thundershowers in the weather forecast.

"Don't be angry. There is a reason why I did what I did just now."

Shen Jufeng kept his arms, "Oh? What reason."

Lu Jiu showed the sweetest smile as she explained, "Actually, I just wanted to see Yong Lin this time. What is his attitude? He was the closest to me just now. If a wild monster attacks me, he will be able to help me immediately. If he has other thoughts and allows the wild monsters deal with me, then there will be no need to bring him along in the future to clear the wild."

I don't know why, but when she recently asked Yong Lin to go out of the city with her, Shen Jufeng's expression was very grim. He didn't have the same relaxed and contented attitude as before.

Just to test Yong Lin's attitude, she didn't dodge just now. She believed that with Yong Lin's strength, he could fend off the wild monster. It simply depended on his initial reaction to the unexpected situation.

Shen Jufeng's expression became even worse. "Just for this? You are lucky that he helped you just now in time. If he hadn't helped you, would you have stood there and been attacked by wild monsters? That was a bronze mutant-level monster. The lowest hit will cause you to lose 1355 HP. How many 1355 HP can you use?"

Lu Jiu was a little at a loss. "I am an early player. There are many strange props in my backpack. If it's really dangerous. I still can use the teleportation crystal to return to the city."

Shen Jufeng pursed his lips. Yes, Lu Jiu was the first player, and he didn't know what equipment and props were in her backpack.

But as the person with the best equipment in the current game world, the teleportation crystal alone is a very powerful tool to save her life. Otherwise, they would not have allowed Li Qiao to escape before.

Shen Jufeng felt a little helpless and said, "I don't want you to put your safety at risk in the future while testing others. Now that the attack power of wild monsters is increasing, it has become too dangerous to do so. If you really are like this, let me do it next time."

Lu Jiu knew that he was worried. "This time, I had a sudden idea and didn't discuss it with you. It made you and Brother Zhuang worry. It's my fault. Don't be angry, okay? I'll discuss any plans with you. How about if you agree with me?"

After more than half a year of getting along, Shen Jufeng has been diligently attending to her affairs, and she can see it.

At first, I wanted to test him with epic-level weapons, and then gave him the position of deputy city lord to handle all the trivial matters in the city.

But Shen Jufeng's behavior made her appreciate this partner more and more, and now she truly regards him as a mentor and a helpful friend.

She is now accustomed to discussing everything with Shen Jufeng and listening to his advice.

Shen Jufeng looked helpless. "Then it's agreed. This is what you promised yourself."

Lu Jiu noticed that he seemed to be coaxed, and the tight string in her heart instantly eased. "Yes, I agree. Let's make peace with a handshake."

She stretched out her hand, just as she had done when they first established Xuantian City.

A hint of nostalgia flickered in Shen Jufeng's eyes, and then he reached out and held her hand, saying, "As you wish."

The two teammates who were left behind looked at each other in confusion as they watched their two teammates run away, holding hands.

Yong Lin was quite familiar with all three of them during this period, particularly because he had a good relationship with Zhuang Yun. He lowered his voice as if he were afraid that others would hear: "Brother Zhuang, aren't Sister Lu and Mr. Shen a couple?"

It was like that just now, and something didn't seem right.

Zhuang Yun displayed a look of understanding, smiled, and shook his head. "It's not a couple, but rather a pair of unenlightened ones."

Yong Lin scratched his head in confusion. A pair of unenlightened ones?

Zhuang Yun patted Yong Lin's shoulder and said, "You are still young, so you may not understand these things. You will understand later. Anyway, these two are not a couple now."

But when it comes to Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng's relationship, Zhuang Yun always maintains a positive attitude.

After a while, they spotted Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng walking ahead. Both of them were standing in the same spot. Lu Jiu was tilting her head slightly, looking at something.

Zhuang Yun and Yong Lin walked forward quickly. "We finally caught up with you two."

Shen Jufeng glanced back at the two of them, then shifted his gaze to Yong Lin, studying him intently for a few moments before finally looking away.

Yong Lin's back straightened unconsciously. Mr. Shen's eyes seemed satisfied just now. Could it be that he was very satisfied with his quick actions to help Sister Lu?

But that was his subconscious reaction.

Lu Jiu pinched the thing in her hand and turned around to display it to Zhuang Yun and the others. "This is the reward for killing those spider monsters just now. Do you have this 'Spider Sand'?"

Each of those monsters had killed at least one kill. Killed one.

Zhuang Yun and Yong Lin immediately looked over the rewards. Zhuang Yun quickly saw it, "Yes, I have ten kilograms of spider sand."

Yong Lin said, "I have twenty-five kilograms. I should have killed two wild animals. It's strange, the amount is relatively large."

This reward is a transparent film filled with spider sand. The spider sand looks like green gravel, and it doesn't possess any unique characteristics.
