Chapter 743: Chapter 742: Preparing to Leave

In the outskirts of Cast Heart Spring Cave, dense jungle surrounded the area, where fog swirled so thickly that neither Divine Sense nor Telekinesis could penetrate.

When Yusuf Zuck hurried outside, he immediately spotted a young girl making a fire at the edge of the jungle. A few dark brown scorpions were skewered on a stick by her, seemingly about to be roasted as a tasty treat.

As Yusuf Zuck approached, the girl glanced back but did nothing more than that, not sparing him a second look before returning her attention to the fire.

Yusuf Zuck burst into laughter, realizing that he currently looked like Bryson Campbell, which was why the girl didn’t recognize him.

He strode up to Sophia—who was only three or four meters away—and started to look her up and down unabatedly.

Sophia hadn’t changed much, still dressed in the traditional attire of her people, and she seemed even slimmer than before.

Calculating her age, she must be only about twenty-one or twenty-two, right?

"Can you get lost?" Sophia suddenly raised her head, "Do you know you’re really ugly?"

Yusuf Zuck chuckled at this.

"You find it funny?" Sophia narrowed her eyes, "Then keep laughing." Having said that, she ignored Yusuf Zuck and focused on tending to the fire.

Just then, Yusuf Zuck felt a slight movement under his feet, followed by a little green snake lunging at his leg.

Yusuf Zuck recognized the snake—it was the very one Sophia used to keep, wasn’t it?

The green snake missed its target as Yusuf Zuck lightly stepped back, leaving it to strike at the air!

"Enough, don’t let it bite me again. I have something important to talk to you about." Yusuf Zuck’s gaze hardened, and Telekinesis penetrated the snake’s mind in an instant; the snake then became motionless, lying on the ground without moving.

"What? It bit you? There’s a snake, oh dear, where did this snake come from!" Sophia feigned ignorance, pretending not to recognize the snake. But at that moment, she also felt very strange—why wasn’t the snake moving anymore?

Yusuf Zuck smiled bitterly. He had always liked Sophia for her innocence and whimsical nature—unconcerned about the world, always so carefree and amusing.

"Sophia, where’s your sister Harley Strong?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly lowered his voice.

"Huh?" Sophia was startled and then suddenly stood up.

"Who are you?" Her voice became cold, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

"Let’s talk inside; this isn’t the place for conversations." Yusuf Zuck shook his head. Although there was no one else around, people could still use Divine Sense to scout the area. Only by entering the jungle could they evade Divine Sense.

"First tell me who you are!" Sophia continued to press, "If you don’t say, don’t blame me for being impolite."

"Shhhh—" As she finished speaking, many poisonous scorpions, snakes, and large centipedes began to emerge from the jungle.

That was just like Sophia, there was not a poisonous creature that didn’t heed her command.

"It’s me, your brother Yusuf. Come inside!" Yusuf Zuck replied in a low voice before stepping into the jungle.

Sophia was shocked to the point of almost screaming. What a joke—her brother Yusuf? With a presence like a fine pine and beauty like Pan An, how could he become such an ugly freak?

"Hmph, seems like you know us quite well," sneered Sophia, abruptly leaping into the jungle herself.

And just as she leapt into the jungle, suddenly, Yusuf Zuck conjured an illusory hand and fiercely grabbed her in his grasp. Then, holding onto her, he ran, deeper into the woods!

Sophia was skilled with venomous insects and various poisons, but her cultivation level wasn’t impressive; she had only just attained the Solidifying Pill stage. Therefore, when Yusuf Zuck captured her, she had no strength to resist at all.

Of course, this did not mean she would simply surrender without a fight. Thus, when she opened her mouth abruptly, Big Golden Cicada appeared, and with a ’swoosh’ it shot towards the back of Yusuf Zuck’s head!

However, an almost blood-spitting incident occurred. Just as Big Golden Cicada was about to hit Yusuf Zuck’s head, it suddenly veered off course, and, with a smug, fawning air, it landed in the palm of Yusuf Zuck’s hand, fluttering its wings as if asking for a dance!

"Haha!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily as Big Golden Cicada actually recognized him. How strange indeed!

"Here you go." Yusuf Zuck extracted a drop of purple liquid from his fingertip and fed it to Big Golden Cicada.

Sophia stared with shock widening her eyes.

"Swoosh~" Yusuf Zuck jumped to the base of a tree and came to a stop while also retracting the illusory hand; his body twisted several times in succession as his original appearance returned!

"Big Brother Yusuf..." Seeing the transformation from an ugly monster to her own Big Brother Yusuf, she no longer held any doubts and threw herself into Yusuf Zuck’s arms.

"Big Brother Yusuf... Is it really you? Is it really you? Am I dreaming?" She looked up at Yusuf Zuck, seemingly overwhelmed with happiness.

"If not me, then who?" Yusuf Zuck patted her head and said, "Didn’t you see Goldie dancing for me?"

"Mm-hmm, I saw it, I saw it." Sophia nodded repeatedly, but she didn’t let go of Yusuf Zuck.

"Alright, alright, I’m very happy to see you safe," Yusuf Zuck said, smiling as he tried to move her arms away.

"Let’s hug a little longer, I missed you," Sophia said with a giggle.

"Okay, then let me hold you too!" Although they had been apart for less than two years, it felt like a century had passed, especially considering all that they had been through during that time.

Yusuf Zuck embraced her, gently patting her back, as her eyes finally reddened and tears began to fall.

"Why the tears now?" Yusuf Zuck asked with a smile.

"I’m just so happy, it feels like many years have passed. I felt like I was the only one in this world. Big Brother Yusuf, can you take me with you wherever you go from now on?" Sophia lifted her head, "I don’t want to pursue immortality or enlightenment anymore. I want to go home. I miss you all."

"I’ll take you home, but first tell me, is Harley Strong inside the women’s area?" Yusuf Zuck inquired.

"Ah, ah, yes, yes, Harley Strong is in there, yes, please hurry and save her! That what’s-his-name ’Jonas Hopkins’ wants to take her as a concubine, to make her his minor wife!"

"She’s really in there?" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath. He was finally certain, he had finally found her!

"Yes, she was there when I arrived, but now her master is here, a detestable evil woman. We planned to escape many times, but we never found the opportunity. We can’t escape from here. Do you have a way? Let’s escape together!"

"Were you forcibly placed here as well?" Yusuf Zuck asked strangely.

"Not me. Jonas Hopkins loves me like his own daughter. I could pull his beard, and he wouldn’t get mad at me. I can leave whenever I want, but Harley Strong can’t!"

"Alright, as long as she’s in there, that’s all I needed to know. Let’s go back now; we’ll kill Luna Wolfe first, then I’ll take you away!" Since Yusuf Zuck had confirmed the Harley Strong was there, he needed to secure her by his side for his peace of mind!

As for how to get them out, of course, he intended to leave openly and see who dared to stop him.
