43: Chapter 43 Protecting His Wife with Strength

The Dwarf was sent flying by the impact once again, leaving several deep footprints on the ground as he stumbled back. After shedding the force from his body, he looked at his worn-down fingernails with a pained heart.

"It is useless for you to hide in this tortoise shell. That brat has only been gone for two minutes; you cannot possibly hold out until reinforcements from the Evil Suppression Bureau arrive."

He raised his head to look at the lotus flower before him, which was already beginning to turn illusory. One could even faintly discern the curvaceous silhouette of Shangguan Qingxue inside.

"If you obediently surrender and serve me as your master, this Star Lord can spare your life." The Dwarf narrowed his eyes, a flicker of wicked light revealing itself in his gaze.

"The Dwarf, you are dreaming! I already have a sweetheart, and compared to him, you are not even as good as a stinking bug. You still want me to follow you? Pfft!" Even while in a crisis, Shangguan Qingxue remained tough.

"It does not matter if you do not submit. After you die, I will refine you into a zombie, and you will still be able to serve this Star Lord for eternity..."

"If you dare to harm even a single hair on her head, I will fight you to the death!"

Before The Dwarf could finish his sentence, a roar filled with urgency exploded in the forest.

A golden light tore through the night sky and instantly slammed down in front of The Dwarf. The immense impact sent him flying, kicking up a large swath of broken branches and fallen leaves.

A person completely covered in golden light rushed out from the falling leaves and slammed heavily into the chest of the Strong Zombie, causing it to fly backward at an even faster speed.

After crashing through dozens of large trees, the Strong Zombie finally stopped, sprawled on the ground in a spread-eagled position, unable to get up again.

At the same time, Shangguan Qingxue instantly withdrew her Heavenly Lotus Protection. She brushed past the golden figure with her long sword in hand, turned her head to look at the golden figure, and blossomed with a charming smile that instantly made the world seem to lose its color.

The golden figure did not pay attention to Shangguan Qingxue. The two were like old friends who had known each other for a long time; one rushed toward the direction where The Dwarf had been sent flying, while the other walked with lotus steps toward the Strong Zombie.

"Damn it, you are a Peak Night Wanderer!" A hoarse roar came from the dense forest in the distance, the voice carrying a distinct tremor.

The golden figure did not speak. Wherever he passed, soil and rocks exploded, the ground shattered, and trees burst apart completely.

With a loud boom, like a meteorite falling to earth, the entire forest shook for an instant. Countless wood fragments shot into the sky, and a huge deep pit appeared in the dense forest.

A person covered in golden light stood in the center of the deep pit, his foot stepping on The Dwarf, who was charred black all over and barely recognizable as human.

There is a clear difference in strength between a Peak Night Wanderer and an ordinary Third Realm Night Wanderer.

Taking a Martial Artist as an example, upon reaching the Night Wanderer Realm, each time one ignites a Yang Fire, the Realm advances a step. When the third Yang Fire is ignited, one can be called a Third Realm Night Wanderer.

As for a Peak Night Wanderer, it is only when one has reached the apex of the Night Wanderer Realm, with their Qi, blood, and Yang Qi having reached their limits, and the three Yang Fires reflecting upon each other, reaching a stage where there is no further room for advancement, and beginning to move toward the Day Tour Envoy Realm, that they can be called a Peak.

The gap in strength between the two is even greater than the gap between a Night Wanderer and a Night Patrol Envoy.

An ordinary Third Realm Night Wanderer basically has no power to fight back in front of a Peak.

Thus, the moment the golden figure caught up to the desperately fleeing The Dwarf, his defeat was sealed.

On the other side, a lotus flower bloomed in the forest, and Shangguan Qingxue appeared abruptly beside the Strong Zombie.

She raised the long sword in her hand, the blade emitting an azure radiance, and fiercely plunged it into the chest of the Strong Zombie that was struggling to get up, pinning it to the ground.

The blue radiance spread, instantly freezing it into an ice sculpture.

...

When a gust of wind blew by and Lu Siye rushed back to the battlefield, he saw a scene before him that shocked him.

The previously mentioned Strong Zombie had already turned into an ice sculpture, and that The Dwarf was on top of the ice sculpture like a stack of arhats.

Beside it, a person radiating golden light was leaning forward with one elbow on his knee, while his foot was stepping on the back of The Dwarf.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Qingxue was leaning against the shoulder of the golden figure, her arms wrapped around the golden figure's arm, two mounds enveloping it, a happy smile on her face.

And that golden figure looked like he did not know he was in a blessed state, constantly shaking his arm as if trying to shake off the great beauty beside him.

"You brat, you are back. You have stepped into the First Realm of the Night Wanderer so quickly, not bad!" The golden figure immediately noticed Lu Siye, who had returned, and spoke, looking as if he was very familiar with him.

However, his voice was muffled, sounding indeed very familiar.

"You are? Brother Meng?" Lu Siye asked, not too sure.

"It is me!" The golden light slowly faded, revealing the figure beneath the golden light, which was indeed Meng Jianmin.

"What is this?" Lu Siye pointed at the two, suddenly seeming to understand something.

Meng Jianmin's old face turned red, he straightened his back, and reached out a large hand to gently push Shangguan Qingxue's shoulder.

"Shangguan Qingxue, I warn you again, do not always be handsy with me. I only like women who are stronger than me."

"I do not believe it, you must like me!" Shangguan Qingxue not only did not let go, but hugged him even tighter.

"I said, I only like women who are stronger than me." Meng Jianmin's face turned even redder.

A tough guy who could suppress a Third Realm Night Wanderer with a wave of his hand appeared somewhat at a loss when facing Shangguan Qingxue.

Lu Siye stood to the side, his cheek twitching. Even he, as a man himself, did not believe what Brother Meng said.

"Is that so? Then who was it just now that shouted with such urgency: 'If you dare to harm even a single hair on her head, I will fight you to the death!'?" Shangguan Qingxue raised her head to meet Meng Jianmin's eyes, a smile on the corners of her lips.

"This... this..." Meng Jianmin was speechless.

Shangguan Qingxue looked at his flushed face, a trace of smugness appearing on her own face.

To deal with a thin-skinned man like this, one should take the initiative and break through his defensive line of face in one blow.

"Hiccup~ Well, you two continue, I will be going first!" Lu Siye burped exaggeratedly; he felt like he was about to be stuffed full of dog food.

A single dog cannot afford to be hurt, so it is better to slip away!

"..." Meng Jianmin watched Lu Siye's departing back, opened his mouth, not knowing what he wanted to say.

He looked down at the woman hanging on his arm, and a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily, which even he himself did not notice.

He saw a fallen leaf on Shangguan Qingxue's head, and subconsciously raised his hand to remove it.

"Uh, sorry, I came back to look for my weapon." Lu Siye suddenly returned, and seeing Meng Jianmin's hand frozen in the air, he revealed an awkward smile.

After searching for a while in the pile of broken branches and fallen leaves, Lu Siye finally found his blazing blood saber.

Looking at the half-shallow palm print on the blade of the blazing blood saber, he felt a sudden pang of heartache.

"You two continue!" After flashing an awkward but polite smile at the two, Lu Siye hugged his blazing blood saber and scurried away.
