Chapter 415: Chapter 99 The Gift from the Evil Spirit (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The voice was gentle, carrying a seductive allure.

But the pressure from those hands was intense.

Xu Shu had once been shattered into pieces with a single clap from these meaty palms.

Thus, he knew Wuxin was powerful.

But he had never guessed Wuxin was this powerful!

That seemingly light push actually allowed no room for refusal, and even a furious Lance couldn’t control his staggering, retreating body.

Each step back seemed to carry an iron plate several meters wide, heavily crushing the ground.

"Damn human, what exactly did you do to our Empress?!"

"How dare you abscond with our Empress’s inheritance—unforgivable, utterly unforgivable!"

As he staggered backward, he continued to roar in anguish, his eyes bloodshot. After four or five shouts, and seventeen or eighteen steps back, he finally stopped.

Xu Shu gasped in shock.

Lance was a Third-order Alien Species Earl, and although Black Widow wasn’t known for physical prowess, Wuxin managing to push him back with a single strike—her real strength was unmistakable.

"Wuxin is a Third-tier Expert!"

In his surprise, Xu Shu found himself being supported by Wuxin and leaning on her shoulder.

At that moment, Wuxin stood dejected, yet delicate as a jade statue.

Her previously severed legs had miraculously regrown, slender and visible beneath the tattered robe, her skin smooth and delicate—a true "rebirth."

A faint, refreshing fragrance emitted from her, tickling Xu Shu’s nose.

In that moment, Xu Shu’s mind wasn’t wandering; he suddenly felt lighter and was pulled back by Wuxin, retreating a great distance and crossing the borderline.

Seeing the unremarkable line beneath his feet, Xu Shu heaved a sigh of relief.

The border he had desperately wanted to cross—he had finally escaped to it, and whatever the case, at least he was temporarily safe from the threat of Lance.

But how did Wuxin get out?

Though she indeed helped a lot this time, he clearly remembered throwing her into the upper channel at that "hub" connecting the illusion underground and the territory above.

And he knew the depth of that above hole well, having entered it once; entering it should send one back to its "cyclic save point," where their memory is hidden and the cycle restarts.

So logically, Wuxin should still be trapped in Tailed Ksitigarbha’s illusion, unable to escape... How did she get out? Ah, perhaps Tailed Ksitigarbha saw through my maneuvers, intentionally informed her of my plot to betray her, and let her out to deal with me?

At that thought, Xu Shu’s heart skipped a beat.

If that was the case, he was doomed!

With a Third-order Earl chasing him outside the border and a Third-tier human shadowing him inside, it was truly a situation with wolves ahead and tigers behind, nowhere to run.

In his anxious turmoil, he heard Wuxin say, "Comrade Xu Shu, I truly owe you for showing me the way, enabling me to escape to safety! Regrettably, this adversary is troublesome; please forgive my inability to kill him and avenge you."

Ah? Xu Shu was stunned.

Showed the way? Did I?

I clearly pushed you into a pit, yet not only do you not hold it against me, but you also want to avenge me?

Star Group members are too kind, too considerate, aren’t they?

From Wuxin’s calm and gentle tone, very close without any hostility, Xu Shu finally relaxed.

Things hadn’t developed in the worst direction, and from her words, it was apparent she had misunderstood something.

Well, it was a beneficial misunderstanding!

Let this misunderstanding be completely buried, never to be raised again, he mused.

Wuxin then turned her head, suddenly looked back, and saw Gu Pan, Tang Rou, and others watching them with tense and surprised expressions.

Thoughtfully, and with a hint of curiosity, she said, "Eh, weren’t they all used by you to distract Tailed Ksitigarbha and sacrificed? How come there are still five survivors?"

Xu Shu’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained, "It’s all due to the enlightenment from my leader. The number of sacrifices was sufficient, so I just left five out."

Facing Wuxin, the best tactic was always to forego logic and blame everything on her leader.

This trick indeed worked as Wuxin suddenly realized, "I see! Indeed, the leader once said to always allow for a margin in everything, not to be overly harsh! From this perspective, those five who weren’t sacrificed, indeed represent the margin left by my leader! Truly thoughtful, never failing to fulfil us believers’ expectations!"

She made the characteristic chest-touching gesture of the Star Group.

"..." Xu Shu felt awkward.

Sacrifice my foot.

It was supposed to be you who got sacrificed; you probably don’t even know, hahaha...

He chuckled inwardly, knowing he couldn’t delve into this topic, or things could turn seriously bad, so he smoothly changed the subject:

"This Alien Species Earl is no big deal, let’s spare his life and hurry away..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when Wuxin raised a palm and shook her head, saying, "No rush, let’s wait a bit longer."

"You’re not in a hurry, but I am... What if we lure him into the border and kill him?" Xu Shu glanced at Lance, only to find him already fifty meters away, very cautiously backing off.
