Idol, Happy New Year!

After dealing with Hua, Lin Zhen once again transformed the Liquid Metal into Skirt Armor to cover her unsightly boxer shorts, and You You returned to her little nest.

Su Mingyue acted quickly and returned to the scene, bringing back the Lao San who had been knocked unconscious.

The Lao San was left on the ground and ignored by her. Instead, she kept staring at Tang Yu and Yingying with a cold gaze.

Tang Yu and Yingying seemed to want to take advantage of the opportunity to leave, but Su Mingyue caught them red-handed.

Yingying pleaded desperately with Su Mingyue, "Ming Yue, please let us go. We're too ashamed to face you anymore, and staying here is just awkward. Why won't you let us leave?"

Tang Yu was also filled with guilt. "Ming Yue, I know I'm sorry, but I had no Xuan Ze in that situation. Besides, you had reinforcements behind you, but you didn't tell me. Otherwise, I would never have made that decision."

Su Mingyue took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Lin Zhen is not my ally. I didn't expect him to help me."

"What happened? How did you two end up together? And the way he was dressed."

Tang Yu was very bothered by this matter. Although Su Mingyue had never expressed her love to him, he already regarded Su Mingyue as his own. Seeing her with Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen was only wearing boxer shorts, he couldn't help but have all sorts of wild thoughts and felt betrayed.

He reasoned that if he asked, Su Mingyue, who was always very virtuous, would surely offer an explanation, which would make him feel better. However, to his surprise, Su Mingyue didn't explain; instead, she looked at him and gave a cold laugh, "Is it any of your business?"

One sentence struck like a bolt from the blue, shattering the last glimmer of hope in Tang Yu's heart.

"Fine, that's none of my business, but we don't have any grudges against each other. We were friends before, right? Is it wrong for me to want to save my life in this Moment of Life and Death? Just let me go."

"You did the right thing to save your life, but you shouldn't have made me agree to their conditions, Tang Yu. We weren't really friends before, and we certainly won't be anymore."

Su Mingyue is ultimately kind-hearted; she doesn't want to hurt others. Tang Yu is alright, but she can't bring herself to deal with Yingying.

Tang Yu and Yingying were overjoyed to see that Su Mingyue didn't want to pursue the matter, and turned to leave, but at that moment they saw Lin Zhen standing behind them.

"Lin Zhen, what are you going to do?" Tang Yu asked warily.

"Hehe, it's nothing. I just wanted to see the true colors of you two shameless people. You actually want to turn the tables at this time. Letting you go would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. Who knows if you'll be afraid of your shameful deeds being exposed and come back for revenge later."

Tang Yu and Yingying's expressions changed immediately. Tang Yu said, "Lin Zhen, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's between us and Ming Yue. You'd better not meddle. Ming Yue has already agreed to let us go, and I'm willing to swear in the name of the True God that I will never come back to cause trouble."

"Haha! Although I don't believe in that True God either, someone like you doesn't even have the right to believe. Just ignore what you said earlier."

Tang Yu's face flushed red and then paled. "So what exactly do you want?"

"Can I kill you all?" Lin Zhen asked.

Tang Yu and Yingying took a step back in fright. If Lin Zhen wanted to make a move at this moment, they would have absolutely no chance of survival.

Yingying even shouted at Su Mingyue, "Ming Yue, you promised to let us go, are you going to go back on your word?"

Su Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then came to Lin Zhen's side and said, "Lin Zhen, let's forget about it. After all, we've known each other for a while, and I don't want to see them like this."

"Alright, you're such a kind-hearted Holy Maiden, willing to let such people go. Fine, I'll listen to you. But while they may escape the death penalty, they can't escape punishment. I'm itching to give them a good beating. You can't just leave it to them, can you?"

Su Mingyue turned her head and slowly walked to the side, clearly not wanting to interfere with Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen chuckled, a smile that seemed like a devil to Tang Yu and the other two.

He suddenly pounced on her, first kicking Yingying hard to the ground, then hitting her several times in the back.

Yingying screamed in pain and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

Lin Zhen didn't continue. He turned around and stood in front of Tang Yu, then suddenly slapped him on the scalp!

Tang Yu's hair was very long and now somewhat messy. It was always Gold Silk Hairband, which seemed to be very expensive. He had been wearing it ever since Lin Zhen met Tang Yu.

He was weak at the moment, and Lin Zhen's slap made him stagger, making his hair even more disheveled.

"A disciple of the Great God Sect! Slap!" A loud slap flashed across the face.

"The number one War General of Ice City! Slap!" Another slap followed.

"Extremely devout in your faith in the gods? Slap!" A third slap.

"You like Su Mingyue? I think you value your own life more! slap"

Tang Yu was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and two of his teeth were knocked out by Lin Zhen. His handsome face was swollen like a pig's head.

"I'd rather not even bother hitting someone like you to get my hands dirty. Get the hell out of my sight." With that, Lin Zhen kicked Tang Yu in the stomach, sending him flying more than ten meters away.

Tang Yu groaned and struggled to her feet for a long time before finally getting up. She glared at Lin Zhen with resentment, then, supporting each other, she and Yingying staggered away.

At this moment, Su Mingyue walked over, her eyes blurred with tears.

"Lin Zhen, thank you."

"Don't mention it, it's all the same. I don't like those two either."

Su Mingyue nodded and said nothing more. Instead, she went to the riverbank alone and stared blankly at the water.

Lin Zhen glanced at Su Mingyue, sighed, and quietly walked to the side to take out a small object.

It was a small metal device, prepared by him when he came to Star Fruit Tree. It was the latest product from the Ministry of Science and Technology: Tracking Locator.

The positioning device is very simple; it only requires a metal needle thinner than a needle. He had already left this tiny metal needle in Tang Yu's hairband when he was taking pictures of Tang Yu earlier.

There's no way to deal with Tang Yu's hair in this jungle, so she'll keep wearing her hairband. Lin Zhen needs to know Tang Yu's location because something important is about to happen to Tang Yu.

Lin Zhen remembered that Tang Yu became famous in his previous life because he found a special Star Crystal with spatial power inside the Star Fruit Tree, which enabled him to soar to new heights and boost his combat power.

After Tang Yu obtained the Star Crystal, he advanced to the level of War God, which means that he obtained it at the peak of the Level Nine War General. Lin Zhen located Tang Yu's position for the sake of this Star Crystal.

They're all inside the Star Fruit Tree, so they'll find out about Tang Yu sooner or later. When he becomes Level Nine War General, Lin Zhen will definitely track him down to find that crystal and then intercept it for Tang Yu.

As for Yingying, Lin Zhen had already inserted a Poison Needle he had prepared beforehand into her back; she definitely wouldn't survive the night.

A woman like that is only a menace if left alive; she'll definitely come back for revenge someday. It's better to get rid of her sooner rather than later and have peace of mind.

However, Su Mingyue doesn't need to know these things. This girl, who is very smart but as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, should know less about these matters.

Lin Zhen glanced at the Locator and put it away, then went to stand in front of the Lao San.

Lin Zhen grabbed his hair and slapped him twice to wake him up.

Before the Lao San could speak, Lin Zhen's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed a Mental Impact.

The Lao San was completely unable to withstand Lin Zhen's Mental Impact at this moment. He felt a sharp pain in his head, let out a howl, and his eyes became somewhat dazed.

"Tell me! Where are the most Star Crystal inside the Star Fruit Tree?"

"The Three Great Forbidden Zones have the most." The Lao San blurted out instinctively.

"What are the Three Great Forbidden Zones? Where are they located?"

"There is Beehive in the Three Great Forbidden Zones. In the southeast of the Tree Crown Zone, there is a huge Beehive. Ordinary martial artists dare not go there. Many Star Crystal have not been collected. Only experts can go there."

"Anything else?"

"The Ant Nest is located on a dead branch in the southwest. Dust and mud have accumulated to form the Ant Nest, and there are countless ants there. There are also many Star Crystal there."

"There's one more."

"There is another place called the Sky Dome, which is said to be directly above the fruit trees. It can absorb the most sunlight and rain, and there are many Star Crystal there. However, it is controlled by the students from the previous batches, and ordinary people are not allowed to go there."

Lin Zhen unleashed several Mental Impact in succession. The Lao San remained in a dazed state, answering whatever was asked. Lin Zhen got what he wanted to know, but couldn't get anything more out of him. He ripped off the Lao San's Space Ring, then punched him in the temple, killing him and kicking the corpse away.

Back by the river, Su Mingyue was still staring blankly at the water with teary eyes.

Lin Zhen knew that today's events had been a big blow to her. A God Sect Saintess of the Divine Sect who had believed in gods since childhood had now begun to doubt the gods, and it was inevitable that she would lose her goals and direction in life. In addition, she had been betrayed by her friends, so she needed some comfort.

"Saintess Su, you don't need to be like this. Cheer up."

"What's there to be happy about?" Su Mingyue murmured after a long while. She had indeed lost her way. Gods never appeared and never saved anyone, and the faith of others was so fragile. What was the meaning of her existence God Sect Saintess?

"Many things will happen in life, so let's focus on the happy ones. For example, today is a day worth celebrating."

Su Mingyue didn't answer, and Lin Zhen continued, "Look, today you bravely defeated a powerful opponent, and you also saw through the true colors of the two people around you, eliminating potential future threats. These are all things worth celebrating. There's also one more thing."

"What is it?" Su Mingyue finally turned around and looked at Lin Zhen.

"Today is New Year's Day! It's the New Year! Isn't that something to be happy about?"

"Today is New Year," Su Mingyue murmured.

"Yes, today is Lunar New Year's Eve, I've always remembered it."

As Lin Zhen spoke, he extended a hand to Su Mingyue: "Saintess Su, let's celebrate our first New Year together. Happy New Year!"

Su Mingyue was stunned for a moment, but not for long. She then forcefully wiped away her tears, revealing a beautiful smile that would outshine even the flowers, and gave Lin Zhen a high five. "Happy New Year, idol!"
