Miss Tingyun Can Get Embarrassed, Too

Tingyun unconsciously tightened her grip on her usual folding fan; she was also very nervous at this moment.

It wasn't just because of the enemy, but also because the wounded, and even the Cloud Knights, could potentially transform into Scythe of Annihilation and become the enemy at any moment.

This kind of thing is a fatal blow to morale.

The Sky-Faring Commission is currently maintaining Order in the Starskiff Haven Central area, and it's unclear how long it will take before reinforcements arrive.

The only one we can count on is Lin Shuang...

Tingyun took a deep breath, looking at the two Cloud Knights in battle, and could only hope that his benefactor would arrive soon.

They exchanged more than ten rounds.

Clang--

"Damn it, it's back to normal!"

A Cloud Knights left a huge wound on the Scythe of Annihilation, running from its shoulder to its abdomen, with a single strike.

However, wounds that would render an ordinary person completely immobile would heal at a speed visible to the naked eye on this person.

However, the scratch on his companion's left arm, though not serious, was unable to heal on its own.

"We can't keep exchanging wounds," the Cloud Knights thought, then shouted:

"Be careful, don't attack, hold them off!"

"What's the use of holding on! If this drags on, we'll all die!"

The injured Cloud Knights didn't think defense was a good option; they couldn't get in or out, so what was the point of stalling for time?

Hearing the conversation from behind, Tingyun quickly spoke up:

"Brothers, hold on! I've already contacted backup. We'll be safe once they arrive!"

"Miss Tingyun, is it true?"

"Really!"

"Okay! Did you hear me? Hold the line!"

"I heard it! I heard it!"

Upon hearing that reinforcements were on the way, the two Cloud Knights were greatly encouraged.

The other members of the chamber of commerce, after witnessing the regenerative abilities of the Scythe of Annihilation,...

Finally, they made up their minds, picked up their weapons, and joined the battle.

Although the Chamber of Commerce members were not as numerous as the Cloud Knights, their combined efforts alleviated the pressure on the Cloud Knights.

Tingyun and several civilian staff members were responsible for looking after the wounded.

The situation appears to have stabilized.

However, as time goes by, human resources will eventually run out.

"Ah--!"

One of the chamber of commerce members, exhausted, was caught off guard and seized by the Scythe of Annihilation, which slashed his chest with a claw, tearing a huge gash in his chest.

With a burst of immense force, he screamed and was sent flying backward, crashing into the ruins.

"Changming!"

"Damn it--"

With the first casualty, the situation began to deteriorate.

Just then, a nearby cargo container suddenly exploded—

"Roar--!!!"

Fragmentum creature, Imaginary Weaver, a tall humanoid Monster, floats in mid-air.

Leading several Frostcrystal Creation, it tore apart steel crates and charged into the crowd.

This made the already precarious situation even more critical.

"I'll do it!!"

The uninjured Cloud Knights immediately struck, forcing back the Scythe of Annihilation with a fierce slash, then turned and charged alone towards the Monster that had suddenly appeared.

However, facing multiple enemies, the Cloud Knights was overwhelmed and they were no match for the enemy. Soon after, members of the merchant caravan broke away from the Scythe of Annihilation and joined the battle.

However, spreading resources too thin is ultimately a short-sighted solution, and the battle situation on both sides has become increasingly precarious.

Tingyun finally couldn't hold back any longer and took out her phone to try and get help from Lin Shuang.

Just as the message was sent, a terrifying screech suddenly came from the sky, accompanied by a sound that blotted out the sun!

"Roar--!!!!"

Its astonishing aura even momentarily stunned the beings from the Fragmentum and the Scythe of Annihilation.

Everyone looked up as the ferocious and enormous Monster swooped down towards them.

Tingyun's face finally turned to despair.

She instinctively closed her eyes, awaiting death.

My benefactor, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you to dinner as promised.

Volume 1: Chapter 233 Miss Tingyun Can Be Shy Too

Tingyun heard the sound of howling wind.

They also heard the monster's ferocious roar.

Her Foxfolk- like instincts warned her to retreat immediately, or she would die under the Monster's claws.

Even the two Cloud Knights were plunged into despair upon seeing the colossal creature, which stretched for a hundred meters.

If it were an entire army here, they wouldn't be afraid.

But there are only two of them, one is Scythe of Annihilation, the other a creature from Fragmentum, and now a giant dragon of unknown origin has arrived.

Isn't that giving a bit too much credit to those two ordinary soldiers?

I'll hit them? Really?

Boom--

The enormous Monster descended from the sky with terrifying power, its sharp claws easily tearing apart the heavy cargo box.

With a single claw strike, it crushed the Monster that Fragmentum to death.

The strong wind and debris that were stirred up blew everyone else around them away.

"Hmm--"

Although Tingyun was far away, she was not good at fighting.

Facing that enormous Monster, he suddenly felt a lightness on his feet, and was then lifted up by a gust of wind and sent flying backward.

In the instant I hurriedly opened my eyes.

But then I saw that long, snow-white hair that I thought I would never see again.

And that youthful yet beautiful face.

Warm arms wrapped around my shoulders and knees.

The blazing flames surrounded the two of them, but they did not cause Burn sensation.

Strong hands caught her body, Tingyun instinctively raised her hands to hug Lin Shuang's neck for a sense of security.

"Am I dreaming...?"

Lin Shuang arrived just as timely as a hero in a storybook, always appearing at the crucial moment.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Did a gust of wind scare you so much you're paralyzed?"

Lin Shuang looked down at Tingyun, who was looking so dazed for the first time, and burst out laughing.

This appearance made Tingyun even more adorable, a stark contrast to her usual shrewd demeanor.

So cute!

"Ah..."

Tingyun blinked, as if trying to make sure that what she was seeing was not a hallucination she had before her death.

His hand moved and eventually touched Lin Shuang's face, giving it a gentle pinch.

"It feels real to the touch."

Why are you pinching me? Pinch yourself instead!

Lin Shuang glared at Tingyun, annoyed.

Meanwhile, the others who had recovered also turned to look in Tingyun's direction.

"Miss Tingyun! Are you alright?"

The shouts from the others finally made Tingyun realize that he was not dead.

And now, right in front of everyone, she's lying in Lin Shuang's arms in a princess carry.

Its Tail even wrapped around Lin Shuang's entire thigh, binding her tightly!

"..."

His face visibly began to heat up, turning completely red.

She pursed her lips, stared wide-eyed, unsure where to look, and began to look around in a panic.

Finally, he buried his head in Lin Shuang's neck, trying to escape reality.

Her ears kept slapping Lin Shuang's cheeks, as if she were being coquettish or complaining.

The members of the Minghuo Merchant Guild stared in disbelief at Tingyun's expression.

It felt like meeting this charming and sophisticated Miss Tingyun for the first time.

Just as Tingyun was feeling shy...

Bella, who landed on the other side, released two thin beams of light, precisely burning the Scythe of Annihilation to a crisp.

The others, however, were nervously watching Bella and Huohuo, who had gotten off Bella.

"Wait... isn't that Miss Lin Shuang who saved Miss Tingyun last time?"

Fortunately, one of them seemed to recognize Lin Shuang.

After the name was called out, the other members of the Chamber of Commerce suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a person who was on good terms with Miss Tingyun.

Lin Shuang had just jumped off that giant Monster and caught Miss Tingyun.

Huohuo, who had been thinking about how to explain, finally had a chance to speak.

Huohuo then took out the token of the Ten Lords' Court:

"Um, I am Huo Huo from the Ten Lords' Court's Huohuo. I came with Sister Lin Shuang to support Cloudford. This big guy is... a companion..."

The name of the Ten Lords' Court carries a hint of mystery and eeriness in the eyes of the Xianzhou native.

This department rarely appears in public, and many people don't even know what these people do.

Not to mention recognizing the token.

Fortunately, the Cloud Knights was a regular unit, although it also had little contact with the Ten Lords' Court.

At least the token was recognizable.

The two Cloud Knights, who had been quite nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing the token.

Although none of them knew when such a large Monster had ever been on the Xianzhou.

But if you were to say that this thing came from the Ten Lords' Court...

This seems to fit the stereotype of the Ten Lords' Court.
