Chapter 9 Part 2

The tentacle monster was obviously angry, and immediately shot out more than a dozen tentacles to catch Lu Yingfan.

As soon as she moved away, Lu Yingfan and Luo Shaoxuan saw Shen Jiayan. His whole body was tightly wrapped in the tentacles, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was deathly white and his lips didn’t have the slightest bit of color.

Lu Yingfan efficiently cut off several tentacles with his sword. He held the tentacles that were flying towards Luo Shaoxuan and said, “I’ll hold her off. You go down and save him.”

Luo Shaoxuan nodded and jumped down into the pit without any hesitation.

Lu Yingfan’s hostility value was rising steadily. The tentacle monster was so angry, that it was about to go crazy when it saw that it not only couldn’t do anything to him, but it even lost a few more tentacles in the process.

Luo Shaoxuan bent his waist all the way over, very carefully^[1] walking on the sticky, slippery tentacles, and walked up to Shen Jiayan: “Mu Che, how are you?”

“Leave me alone, go.” Shen Jiayan weakly raised his eyes, “Go!” If he could die in front of Luo Shaoxuan now, it should be miserable enough to fulfill the wish of his original employer.

Luo Shaoxuan exerted himself to tearing the tentacles that bound Shen Jiayan. Confine, confine, I want to confine these tentacles!

A strange scene occurred, the tentacles wrapped around Shen Jiayan’s body gradually loosened and slowly floated in the air. Luo Shaoxuan carried Shen Jiayan on his back and crawled, one foot deep and one-foot shallow back to the top of this large pit.

“Mu Che, don’t go to sleep, wait until we go back then you can sleep.”

“Mu Che, look at me. We will be up soon.”

“Mu Che, you said that if we had to die, we are going to die together. If you die, then I will die with you.”

“Mu Che, answer me, okay?”

·····

Shen Jiayan strenuously opened his eyes. After all, he somewhat could not bear it, “Don’t…… be afraid, I’m here.”

When the tentacle monster saw that Shen Jiayan had disappeared, it became mad. Tentacles pierced Lu Yingfan’s skin, and the zombie virus was injected into him.

At the same time, countless tentacles wrapped around Shen Jiayan and Luo Shaoxuan from behind, becoming tighter and tighter; strangling them so much that they could hardly breathe.

Luo Shaoxuan held Shen Jiayan in his arms, ignoring the fact that the bones in his entire body were creaking, and he exerted himself to hold open a space for him(SJY).

Shen Jiayan looked up into Luo Shaoxuan’s eyes, and Luo Shaoxuan’s face had a very gentle smile, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Shen Jiayan’s tears suddenly flowed down his cheeks. He didn’t know why, but at that moment, he was even thinking: If this time he could really survive, he wouldn’t even care about the points. He just wants to accompany this person for a lifetime.

Just as the tentacles were tightening, becoming tighter and tighter, a black figure wrapped in a powerful aura rushed over; jumping into the pit and fiercely biting down on the tentacle monster’s neck.

The tentacle monster suffered from the pain, rolling back and forth on the ground. She took all her tentacles back and seeing the situation that was far from good, tried to flee in disarray to the south.

How can the dark shadow let her escape again? He kept biting her neck violently until all her tentacles stopped struggling and the emotion in her eyes had slackened. He didn’t dare breathe before releasing his mouth and spat out the smelly blood in his mouth.^[2]

Luo Shaoxuan was originally in front of Shen Jiayin, protecting him. The tentacle monster was originally powerful enough, and this shadow was able to kill the tentacle monster, so it was obvious that he was something even more terrifying.

But when the shadow came up, everyone was surprised, “Chi Xi?”

Like a deflated ball, Chi Xi’s momentum gradually weakened. Eighth Level, Sixth Level, Fourth Level, Third Level, Second Level, First Level… and finally the power fell until there were no more levels to fall before it stopped.

Chi Xi’s entire body also aged in that instant. With a head full of white hair, the skin on his face was extremely wrinkled, like old tree bark crisscrossed, and it was shocking to watch.

Yang Yuxing appeared behind Chi Xi, “He took too many crystal nuclei in just ten minutes and raised his power to Level Eight in such a short time. Now his ability is backfiring and time is running out, so say what you want to say!”

Shen Jiayan called out “Brother Chi”, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

“Xiao Che, when you called me Brother, I promised to take good care of you.” Chi Xi’s lips trembled, “Don’t feel bad, your Brother Chi just went to see your Sister-in-law. I haven’t seen her for so long, and I also miss her.”

Shen Jiayin bit his lower lip. His mouth filled with the taste of iron rust, and there was a surge of energy rampaging through his body. In the end, as if it had broken some kind of shackle, power surged inside his body.

Shen Jiayan held out his hand, and a white light slowly lit up in his hand. A gardenia slowly formed, rotated, and laid quietly in Shen Jiayan’s palm.

Shen Jiayan put the gardenia in Chi Xi’s palm, “Brother Chi, take this flower to see  Sister-in-law.”

“Okay, thanks.” Chi Xi placed the flower on his chest. After struggling to say this, he closed his eyes peacefully, with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

^[1] 小心翼翼 an idiom ‘cautious and solemn’.

^[2] Lion: at this point, I’m questioning the monster’s gender. 她[She] or 他[He] even if the second one is gender-neutral. I think I tl some as ‘it’ before.

T/N: (TдT) I’m not crying! You are crying!

Please read!

Anyway, my dear readers… as some of you might know, I have 5 novels I am working on right now. Honestly, I can’t bear the workload anymore. WRS is a good novel. It’s a happy ending one, and the 5th arc is my fav. So far, including myself, WRS already moved from one tl to another. I’m the 3rd tl. Although I will try to tl until at least the 3rd arc is done. But I’m sorry, no promises. I would like to apologize to Avis, the translator for the second arc, I can’t finish this novel Jie. Some might say that ‘hey that’s only a few titles, surely you can do it especially now that one of it is going to be completed soon’. I would like to inform you that most of my novel’s chapters are worth 3 to 5 chapters of a novel with a short chapter. So if there are any of you that are interested in adopting WRS, please let me know. You can contact me through foxaholic’s discord, my username is @Thelonerlion.

Edit: 28-11-2020

Huntress, another translators from foxaholic will take over this novel and start posting in December. I will notify everyone when she starts posting. Thank you for reading wrs everyone~!
