Chapter 37: Life and Death, Parting!

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Life and Death, Parting!

In the forest, Lin Fan sprinted with Yang Linglong as if they were flying.

Despite their agile maneuvering, they still maintained a distance of more than ten meters from the black bear.

However fast Lin Fan’s speed had become, akin to a whirlwind,

The bear simply overpowered all clever tactics with sheer brute force.

As it charged in a straight line, the trees blocking its path were all snapped off.

"Stop worrying about me!"

Feeling the threat of death close behind her,

Yang Linglong knew that if this continued, neither of them would escape.

It was better for one to die than for both.

"Don’t talk nonsense, hold on to me tight!"

With a push against a tree trunk with his right leg, Lin Fan propelled himself and Yang Linglong in a reflexive leap.

After dodging the bear’s deadly strike, his eyes flashed like lightning as he searched the woods for a way out.

Soon, an abandoned bunker caught his attention.

It was a fortress built by the Japanese soldiers back in the day, still standing on the hillside after decades.

Seeing this, a slight smile crossed Lin Fan’s lips.

"Quick, get inside!"

He lifted the petite Yang Linglong and

shoved her through the hole meant for a machine gun.

By the time Yang Linglong came to her senses, she was already in the middle of the bunker.

"You get in quickly too!"

The anxious Yang Linglong, having scrambled to her feet, saw the black bear close behind.

Facing the threat of death, she reached out desperately to pull Lin Fan inside with her.

"If I go in there, that’ll be like a turtle in a jar for it. I’ll lead it away; you take the chance to get out. Just wait for me to come back,"

Lin Fan turned around, a mischievous smile on his face as he saw the bear drawing ever closer.

"No, you’ll die... Don’t do this!"

Yang Linglong shouted desperately.

The terrifying bear was a lethal threat.

"Don’t worry, I won’t die before you have repaid the debt of casually touching me, just wait for me to come back!"

Lin Fan grabbed a sharp stone,

and deliberately cut his right hand.

Blood sprayed, and he even tauntingly waved at the bear behind him.

"As long as you come back... you can do whatever you want..."

Watching Lin Fan charge into the dense forest again, Yang Linglong cried out until she was hoarse.

But the bear, goaded by the smell of blood, disregarded everything else.

It followed Lin Fan, plunging deep into the heart of the forest.

The sounds of trees collapsing and ferocious roaring

were like blades slicing through Yang Linglong’s heart.

Facing such a wild and ruthless beast, it was not something humans could contend with.

She was convinced that Lin Fan was doomed this time.

"Hey, this way!"

In the forest, now unencumbered by Yang Linglong,

Lin Fan moved like lightning.

He was so fast that he managed to put a distance of thirty to forty meters between him and the bear in a blink.

Anyone else witnessing this would surely believe they had seen a ghost.

It wasn’t until he reached a clearing, that he stopped in his tracks.

He tore a piece from his sleeve, which was ripped by branches, and wrapped it around his right palm.

Then he turned back to face the bear that had finally caught up.

"Roar!"

The relentless bear, its eyes bloodshot from the scent of blood,

driven by its primal animal nature, lunged at Lin Fan without hesitation.

Its massive body was like a wall,

casting a shadow as it bore down on him.

"You’re still too green to fight with me!"

Lin Fan, not dodging or fleeing, his eyes filled with glee,

did not retreat but advanced, opening his arms and embracing the lunging black bear.

There was a thunderous boom.

He astonishingly lifted the seven to eight hundred pound bear at the waist,

followed by a backward throw that slammed it heavily onto the ground.

"Roar!"

The bear, which landed headfirst, instinctively righted itself,

shook its slightly aching head, and stared at Lin Fan in disbelief.

If it weren’t for its sturdy physique, that fall might have been fatal.

"Come on, it’s been so long since I’ve had any fun, and today you’re going to keep me thoroughly entertained!"

Having lived in the mountains since childhood, wild beasts were to Lin Fan nothing short of childhood companions.

He raced against tigers, wrestled with wild bears, and fought with wild boars.

Such an unusual childhood forged his indomitable status as the Wolf King of today.

"Awoo!"

The black bear, charging at him once more, aimed a thick bear paw straight at Lin Fan.

The terrifying force, accompanied by a fierce wind, could shatter even large trees.

But for Lin Fan, such an attack was nothing more than a tickle.

His left hand stood erect by his side, blocking the heavy blows with sheer force.

His right fist swung out, carrying the force of ten thousand catties.

"Bang!"

In the hard-hitting contest, Lin Fan stumbled from the bear’s paw strike.

But the black bear was flipped onto the ground by his right hook.

Wincing in pain, its howls carried a tone of agonizing wails.

Rolling to its feet once again, it turned and fled towards the distance.

"Kid, who said you could leave!"

His interest fully piqued, Lin Fan was not ready to let it go so easily.

A wicked smile on his lips, he charged right after it.

Grasping the bear’s neck with both hands, man and bear tumbled down the slope, locked together.

Awoo...

Roars of wild beasts echoed through the forest.

Not until all was quiet did Yang Linglong walk out from the bunker.

Shell-shocked, she walked with a wooden gait.

Step by step, she made her way back down to the foot of the mountain.

"Linglong, you alright... I knew you’d be okay!"

Gu Yong, who had hurried back from the distance, ran over in a frenzy.

Seeing Yang Linglong covered in wounds from the tree branches.

He opened his arms wide, ready to embrace her.

"Get lost!"

Yang Linglong, lifeless as a puppet and with tears still streaming down her face.

Slapped away Gu Yong, who was ready to hold her, with eyes filled with anger and contempt.

"Linglong, you know how terrifying the ’Black Widow’ is. I risked my life coming back here. I love you so much, how can you treat me like this?"

As Gu Yong spoke, he didn’t forget to look around.

Fearful of the terrible black bear’s return.

"You ran faster than anyone just now, and you still have the nerve to say you love me?"

Yang Linglong’s eyes, bloodshot, glared at Gu Yong.

If it wasn’t for Lin Fan just now, she would have already been buried in the bear’s stomach.

"I... that was instinct... and besides, that was the Black Widow. Staying would’ve only meant dying together. Who would be that foolish!"

Gu Yong muttered.

In his heart, he thought coming back to check on her was already a great sacrifice.

"Yes, someone is that foolish... This fool was willing to give up his life for me!"

Yang Linglong, her heart aching like being cut by knives, burst into loud sobs.

In her mind, she kept seeing Lin Fan’s unwavering smile as they parted.

There was indeed a man in this world who disregarded life and death for her sake.

At that thought, she was overwhelmed with grief.

"Alright already, a man living off a woman, dying for you was already the greatest honor of his life. Feeding such a person to the bears means he’s fulfilled his greatest value. One must always look forward. Let’s leave. The Black Widow could return at any moment."

Gu Yong, seeing Yang Linglong crouching on the ground in pain.

The hints of spring glimpsed through her torn clothes made him thirsty with desire.

"Get away from me... I’m not leaving... I’m going to find him!"

Pushing Gu Yong’s hands away, Yang Linglong, propping up her weary body, attempted to venture back into the woods.

No matter what, she had to find Lin Fan.

Even if it were just pieces of his clothing.

"The Black Widow is still around; you’re walking into death!"

Gu Yong quickly followed and yelled loudly.

"My life is none of your business... get away from me!"

Yang Linglong, utterly exhausted, tried to push Gu Yong’s hand away again.

But unexpectedly, he grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Dammit, I’ve chased after you for three years, yet you carry another in your heart... If you want to die so much... then let Laozi have some fun first. After I’ve had my fill, you can go die. That wouldn’t be too bad!"

In the silent deep forest, facing the powerless Yang Linglong, Gu Yong’s wicked thoughts surged.

He forcefully pushed her onto the car.

This delicate body, he intended to thoroughly savor first.
