Chapter 545: Chapter 255 Freebie_2

She finally understood why others had won Best Actress three times.

Just that look in her eyes, even she herself felt heartache and wanted to play the knight in shining armor.

[Aiyah, you’ve been treated like prey!]

Lin Baici suddenly stopped in his tracks, and seeing this, the others hastily hit the brakes.

"What’s wrong?"

Li Taewoo trembled with fear, "Is there danger?"

"Oppa?"

Kim Myungjin frowned.

"Oppa..."

Li Duohui walked a few steps forward to Lin Baici’s side. Just as she was about to smile and call out, Lin Baici’s hand struck out.

Slap!

The sound of the slap was crisp, and a palm print appeared on Li Duohui’s face.

"..."

With her right hand covering her face, Li Duohui was stunned.

What’s happening?

Is this guy a sadist?

He doesn’t look like it!

Slap!

Lin Baici struck her again with the back of his hand. It had to be said that the face of a Best Actress felt different to hit than others.

"Oppa..."

With tears welling up, Li Duohui was like a wronged Dou E, and also like a virtuous wife abandoned by a heartless man. In any case, anyone who saw her would sympathize with her and despise the man who hit her.

Slap!

Lin Baici delivered another slap, "Don’t use your acting on me. Do it one more time, and get lost!"

Kin Myungjin, upon hearing this, was first taken aback and then burst into laughter.

Worthy of the man I set my sights on, such strong self-control.

Li Duohui was known as the National Siren because men in Goryeo from aged fifty to eighteen all adored her. There was even a time when an obsessed fan stalked her, intending to kidnap her. Her allure was evident.

But today, she had directly received three slaps from Lin Baici.

"Xiba!"

Choi Seh-Hyo’s body shook violently, his liver trembling with fright.

Li Duohui, with her personal qualities and her status in the entertainment industry surpassing Choi Seh-Hyo’s by countless levels, was slapped by Lin Baici. And here Choi Seh-Hyo was, thinking about winning Lin Baici over with her beauty?

Naïve!

"Impressive!"

Li Taewoo was first dumbfounded and then gave a thumbs up to Lin Baici. He had been skeptical when Kin Myungjin said Lin Baici was a super newcomer making a hundred million a year at the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, but now he believed it.

Because at his age, youngsters typically sped up like ostriches, but he was actually able to withstand Li Duohui’s charm.

Not that Li Taewoo had managed to resist her. There was a time he was so bewitched by Li Duohui that he thought about marrying her.

It wasn’t until Li Taewoo’s father told him that he was one of Li Duohui’s sponsors that Li Taewoo gave up the idea. Even then, he still occasionally fantasized about it.

"..."

Li Duohui hadn’t expected to be slapped for this reason, and was momentarily at a loss, as acting was her trump card.

Everyone came to a stop, looking on in shock as Lin Baici schooled Li Duohui.

You dare to slap a Best Actress?

But then they thought about the way he slayed monsters, and the Best Actress didn’t mean squat in front of him, right?

Lin Baici continued running in the direction of the Eater God’s call out.

"I’m sorry!"

Li Duohui quickly caught up, bowing and apologizing to Lin Baici while running, "My mistake, please hit me harder next time!"

Li Duohui once again subconsciously played the weak woman, catering to Lin Baici’s violent urges.

"It’s over, I truly have no leverage at all!"

Hua Yue Yu felt like crying.

Although she didn’t think being Shark Station’s First Sister was all that grand, it gave her a bit more edge than the average girl, and she thought it should count for something in Lin Baici’s heart.

But now, it seemed utterly useless.

No matter how cool the title of First Sister was, could it surpass a Goryeo Best Actress?

Hua Yue Yu’s expression grew dejected, her future seeming bleak. So, was there still a chance to become Lin Baici’s companion?

She wasn’t planning on going to the Busan Divine Ruins, but now, she had changed her mind. If she couldn’t be Lin Baici’s girlfriend, she’d rather be dead.

The white fog around them grew thicker, with visibility dropping rapidly.

Suddenly, a girl screamed.

"Ah!"

She had fallen, and in the Linzi forest, the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves. Running was difficult for everyone dressed in swimsuits and slippers, and once someone fell, they risked scraping their skin.

Fearful of being left behind, the girl quickly got back up.

"Are we just going to keep running like this?"

Li Taewoo looked around at the thick fog engulfing them. They should have run out of the estate by now and reached the road, but they hadn’t.

"Yes!"

Lin Baici was brief and to the point.

Li Taewoo wasn’t highly emotionally intelligent, but he wasn’t stupid either. He knew Lin Baici wouldn’t care about his status as the heir to the Li Family, so he didn’t throw a young master’s temper tantrum but whispered to Kim Myungjin instead.

"Myungjin, with our identities, the God Hunters from Sejong will definitely come. I think it’s relatively safe here; maybe we should hide for a while!"

Li Taewoo’s stamina wasn’t great. Constant running would tire him out. He wanted to conserve his energy and hoped Kim Myungjin would persuade Lin Baici.

"Listen to Oppa!"

Kim Myungjin only followed Lin Baici’s lead.

[Avoid what’s ahead!]

Lin Baici took off running left.

"What’s happening?"

Everyone was confused but followed anyway, which made Li Taewoo helpless.

"Myungjin, I feel he’s running blindly!"

"Even if he’s running blindly, we follow!"

Kim Myungjin urged, "Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to live? If you want to survive, just do as told!"

Li Taewoo thought, ’I’m the future heir to San Forest Group, and this is how you treat me?’ As he pondered whether he should try reasoning with Lin Baici, the ground in front of them erupted like a volcano, and a two-meter-tall monster burst up from beneath the earth, charging toward them like a Mammoth Elephant.

Ah!

The crowd screamed in terror and scattered, running wildly.

The monster’s body was huge and fat, like a mass of rotten, decaying flesh seeping with pus and dark red blood, emitting a foul stench that made people gag.

On its face, maggots covered in mud wriggled about, burrowing into its eye sockets and wriggling out of its ears.

Whoosh!

The monster took a breath, its chest puffing up, and the next moment, it forcefully spat out.

Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!

Globs of coconut-sized acid flew towards the crowd.

Smack!

A girl was hit by a glob of acid, her skin immediately corroding and smoking. Within seconds, her red muscular tissue was visible.

"Save me!"

The unlucky girl writhed in pain on the ground!

Despite its enormous size, the monster was not slow. It stomped heavily on the ground and quickly reached the fallen girl, grabbed her by the arm, lifting her before biting into her body.

Crunch! Crunch!

The monster feasted on the girl like she was a chicken leg. After a few bites, it tossed her aside and lunged at another girl nearby.

This was the moment when one’s intelligence could be seen. Li Duohui, for example, instantly hid near Lin Baici, while some others, in sheer panic, fled from the monster without thinking.

Li Taewoo saw that Lin Baici wasn’t moving and grabbed his arm, urging him in desperation, "Run, will you!"

When there was no monster, you ran; now there’s a monster, and you stop running?

Are you out of your mind?

But Li Taewoo lacked strength and simply couldn’t budge Lin Baici.

The monster caught up with the girl, its paw swinging down.

Bang!

The girl was bowled away, her upper body bending unnaturally from the impact—an injury she couldn’t possibly survive.

After glancing around, the monster noticed that Lin Baici and his group weren’t moving and charged straight at them.

"Run!"

Li Taewoo shouted twice and, seeing that he couldn’t compel Lin Baici to move and the monster was already within ten meters, he ran off.

Choi Seh-Hyo was in a complete panic as well, running alongside Li Taewoo, while Li Duohui, despite trembling legs, stood her ground.

She observed Lin Baici standing there calmly, as did the seemingly underage girl from the Nine States and Miss Jin, all of them appearing composed.

Their confidence and calm clearly stemmed from that Nine States man.

Xiba!

She took a gamble, trusting this man for once!

Win and feast, lose and perish!

When the monster, reeking of putrid smell, pounced to within three meters of them, a muscular hulk of a man wearing only a pair of shorts appeared.

"Is that a monk?"

While Li Duohui was bewildered, Muscle Buddha slapped the monster’s face.

Slap!

His strength was immense, spinning the monster around like a giant top.

"..."

The rest of the panicked group stood stock-still in utter amazement.
