The Opportunity for a Hero to Save the Beauty

"So many years have passed, yet nothing has changed."

A completely unclothed woman walked forward slowly.

She raised her hand.

The red moon in the sky shimmered with specks of light.

With every step she took, the spiritual energy swirling around her coalesced into a fiery red dress.

This scene was truly a bit eerie in the dead of night.

Suddenly, her elegant brows furrowed.

She couldn't feel the presence of her weapon!

"What is going on?"

The woman's beautiful eyes turned icy. Stepping through the air, her gaze fell upon a freshly dug grave.

The grave was already empty, the coffin smashed to pieces, and everything inside had been hollowed out.

A powerful wave of spiritual energy sent tremors in all directions!

Vegetation was blown away!

The ground rippled and churned outward like ocean waves.

The entire surface of the Ghost Cave was turned upside down.

Various birds and beasts scrambled to flee!

"I would like to see exactly who did this!"

A chilling glint surfaced in the woman's beautiful eyes as murderous intent surged.

...

Qi City.

Just past the Ghost Cave lay the territory of Qi City.

After passing the city guards' inspection, An Yi and Ye Tian arrived in Qi City.

"Not bad, the taste is really quite good!"

An Yi chewed on a pastry and praised it.

His gaze drifted over a woman with a graceful figure.

As expected of Qi City, the most affluent and bustling metropolis in the Lingchuan Domain.

The quality of the girls here was significantly higher; you could easily run into several seven- or eight-out-of-ten girls just walking down the street.

"I told you, this snow crisp cake is a unique local delicacy of Qi City. It's fragrant and crispy, sweet but not cloying. I had it when I was a kid and haven't eaten it for years."

Ye Tian held the pastry in his hand, speaking with deep nostalgia.

An Yi handed all his remaining snow crisp cakes to Ye Tian and brushed the sugar crystals off his hands. "You can have the rest."

Ye Tian took them, looking a bit stunned.

Wasn't this guy here to enjoy the food? Was he not satisfied?

"Where is the Xu family?" An Yi asked, getting straight to the point.

His purpose in coming to Qi City was to complete this guy's main quest.

It would be best to resolve it quickly and then go find Xiao Ye and Long Aoyun.

He wanted to see if he could finish their main quests as well and obtain the Asura Godhead!

Once he fused with the Godhead, he would soar straight to the Ninth Heaven and wipe out Di Feng and his gang of bastards!

Thinking of this, An Yi sighed softly.

He had no idea where Mu Xuan, Qianqian, and the others were.

The Ancient Continent was countless times larger than the Blue Planet. Finding them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack—easier said than done.

"It's not far, follow me..." Ye Tian spoke up.

Just then, An Yi's attention was drawn to the discussions of the pedestrians along the street.

"Did you hear? The Master of the Qingxuan Sect was killed!"

"Heh, who hasn't heard? The whole of Qi City is in an uproar."

"Sigh, the Qingxuan Sect Master was such a kind old man. To think he would suffer such a catastrophe."

"Tell me about it. Even a hundred disciples of the Qingxuan Sect died alongside him in the Ghost Cave."

"Do you guys think it might be revenge or something? I heard that the predecessor of the Qingxuan Sect was apparently the Blood Demon Sect..."

"Watch your words! Watch your words! Don't spread baseless rumors."

Listening to their conversation, An Yi lost all interest.

Qingxuan Sect, Blood Demon Sect—how would he know what any of those things were!

Right at that moment, a wolf-type demonic beast with flames swirling around its four hooves came rampaging down the street.

Its fur was matted with grime and blood. Covered in wounds and looking battered, it sprinted desperately down the road.

Vendors and pedestrians along the street were knocked flying in its wake.

"A Flaming Wolf!"

Ye Tian's eyes grew serious as he drew the long halberd from his back.

"Quick, catch it!"

"A heavy reward for whoever catches the Flaming Wolf!"

A group of city guards shouted at the top of their lungs.

An Yi remained unmoved, instead looking at the injuries on the Flaming Wolf with a critical eye. "What kind of psycho did this!"

His medical skills were maxed out.

Naturally, he could tell that the wolf's injuries were clearly the result of various forms of torture.

Its skull was already fractured, and it had been fed some unknown drug, leaving it in a state of extreme hyper-excitement.

Even if no one stopped it, it would die of exhaustion anyway.

A Level 3 Demonic Beast was no longer something ordinary people could block.

The city guards chased after it, panting heavily, constantly yelling for the pedestrians to intercept it, but no one dared to try.

Are you kidding? Who would dare stand in the way of a frenzied demonic beast?

Wherever the Flaming Wolf passed, bystanders scrambled to dodge.

However, a stunningly beautiful woman in a red dress walked leisurely, seemingly oblivious to the danger.

By now, the Flaming Wolf, looking completely deranged, was charging right at her!

"Danger, get out of the way!"

Ye Tian hoisted his Coiling Dragon Halberd and roared, ready to rush forward.

"Step aside, let me handle this!"

Catching sight of the woman in the red dress, An Yi kicked Ye Tian out of the way and dashed forward at an even faster speed.

A chance to play the hero saving the beauty!

The Flaming Wolf's sharp claws were about to strike down.

The woman in the red dress noticed. Her black hair fluttered lightly, and a trace of blood-red surfaced in her sharp, icy eyes. Her fingernails glowed with spiritual energy, transforming into crisscrossing blades of force ready to slash out.

Fear flickered in the Flaming Wolf's pupils.

Just then, a hand grabbed her slender waist and scooped her up into his arms.

"Stop right there!"

Holding the woman in the red dress, An Yi glared at the Flaming Wolf and let out a deep roar.

In an incredibly flashy move, he condensed a wall of air right in front of him.

Thump!

The Flaming Wolf crashed heavily into the air wall, collapsed, struggled painfully for a few moments, and never woke up again. It died on the spot.

"Amazing! A young hero indeed."

"What was that thing just now? It actually managed to crash a Level 3 Flaming Wolf to death. Truly impressive!"

The bystanders marveled in shock.

Anyone capable of stopping a Level 3 Demonic Beast was a master!

"Miss, are you alright?"

An Yi set the woman in the red dress down. Looking up, he couldn't help but be stunned by her exquisite features.

The bold red dress seemed carelessly tailored, yet it perfectly accentuated the alluring curves of her figure.

Her long black hair was styled into a classic bun, hanging down lightly.

Her face possessed a breathtaking, glamorous beauty. Even up close, one couldn't find a single flaw.

Especially those beautiful eyes—they held an almost demonic, mesmerizing charm.

"Ding! Target meets the criteria for [Master of Romance]!"

Hearing the system prompt, An Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.

She was actually a 9 out of 10!

To think he could run into a 9-point woman right here on the streets of Qi City.

Ye Tian really hadn't lied. A beauty with an exotic charm!

The woman in the red dress stared at An Yi. "You can let go now."

"Oh, right. You aren't hurt, are you?" An Yi asked.

The woman in the red dress didn't answer and simply walked away.

As she left, her gaze briefly swept over the Coiling Dragon Halberd in Ye Tian's hand.

An Yi watched the woman's retreating figure, as if savoring the feeling of holding her, and raised his fingers to give them a light sniff.

"Hey, hey, we're out on the street! Mind your image!"

Ye Tian said, his face darkening.

An Yi kept staring in the direction the woman had gone, quietly watching her leave.

"Stop staring, she's already far away." Ye Tian rubbed his forehead, his face black with embarrassment.

Having such a lecherous master made him feel like he had lost all face.

An Yi stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.

Something's not right. That woman just now smelled like... dirt!
