"Gu Li?"
After walking a few hundred meters, Yi Chen was somewhat surprised to discover Gu Li and Luo Ge carefully weaving through the forest.
"Yi... Yi Chen, why are you here? Didn't I tell you that the forest south of the valley is forbidden territory for our Flame Mountain Tribe?"
Gu Li and Luo Ge soon spotted Yi Chen as well, and both could hardly believe their eyes.
"Didn't you two come here too?"
Yi Chen casually shot back.
"We received word that someone had heard that terrifying Green Leopard roaring. The sound was incredibly terrifying."
Gu Li explained, "The Tribal Chief and the High Priest were worried that something unusual had happened in the forest, that the Green Leopard might suddenly leave the forest and bring a devastating blow upon our Flame Mountain Tribe. So they sent the two of us to investigate."
"No need to worry anymore. The Green Leopard is already dead," Yi Chen said.
Rather than feeling relieved, Gu Li and Luo Ge became even more terrified.
"It's over. A stronger Ferocious Beast must have come to fight for dominion over the forest and killed the Green Leopard."
"What are we supposed to do? The Green Leopard has little appetite for the flesh of the Human Race, which is why our Flame Mountain Tribe has been able to survive in The Valley."
"If it's replaced by another ruler, then once it enters The Valley, our Flame Mountain Tribe will suffer utter annihilation."
"Go back, hurry back! We have to inform the Tribal Chief and leave The Valley as soon as possible before the Harsh Winter arrives."
The more Gu Li and Luo Ge spoke, the more panicked they became, looking ready to turn around and race back to the Flame Mountain Tribe at once.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Yi Chen added, "I killed the Green Leopard."
"You killed the Green Leopard?"
Gu Li and Luo Ge stared blankly at Yi Chen, unable to process what he meant.
"Yes."
Yi Chen nodded.
"How is that possible? Even if the entire Human Race joined forces, we couldn't possibly kill the Green Leopard. To us, it is an invincible existence."
Luo Ge shook his head again and again.
Gu Li was equally full of disbelief.
In their eyes, the Green Leopard was invincible.
"It's not far from here. Go take a look and you'll understand."
Too lazy to explain, Yi Chen pointed in the direction where the Green Leopard's corpse lay, signaling for them to see for themselves.
The two exchanged glances.
After hesitating for more than ten seconds, Gu Li gritted her teeth and cautiously headed in the direction Yi Chen had indicated, half believing and half doubting.
Luo Ge could only follow behind her.
After walking several hundred meters forward—
The lifeless Green Leopard lying on the ground soon entered their view.
Its enormous body and perfect lines of muscle were heart-shaking even as it lay sprawled upon the ground.
But what shocked Gu Li and Luo Ge even more—
Was that the Green Leopard's eyes, forehead, and throat were densely packed with Thorn Fruit embedded in them.
"He... he really killed the Green Leopard?"
Gu Li and Luo Ge had no idea how to describe their feelings.
There were no bite marks anywhere on the Green Leopard's body. Its fatal wounds had all come from these Thorn Fruit.
It absolutely could not have died while fighting those powerful Ferocious Beasts.
No matter how hard it was for them to believe, they had to accept that Yi Chen had indeed killed the Green Leopard.
A member of the Human Race had actually killed such a colossal creature over ten meters tall all by himself?
"Do you believe it now?"
Yi Chen's voice rang out behind them.
The two turned around. When they looked at Yi Chen again, their gazes were as though they were looking upon a god.
Within the Flame Mountain Tribe, they were already the strongest warriors admired and worshipped by their clansmen.
Yet in the eyes of these two warriors, Yi Chen had transcended the boundaries of humanity. He was no different from the gods spoken of by the High Priest.
If he were not an existence like a god, how could he have killed such a powerful Ferocious Beast?
"Since you believe me, go back and bring the clansmen here to carry the Green Leopard home."
Yi Chen gave the order.
The two nodded instinctively.
Then, an indescribable excitement surged into their hearts.
They finally realized what Yi Chen killing the Green Leopard meant.
It meant that the forest south of the valley, the forest with the greatest abundance of wild beasts and low-level Ferocious Beast resources, would now be open to the Flame Mountain Tribe.
From this day onward, the Flame Mountain Tribe would no longer need to worry about food shortages, nor would so many clansmen freeze or starve to death during the Harsh Winter.
The Flame Mountain Tribe would no longer need to worry that one day, the Green Leopard might suddenly develop an appetite for human flesh, appear in The Valley without warning, and wipe out the entire tribe.
It also meant that within a hundred miles of the Flame Mountain Tribe, there would no longer be any threat.
Because the Flame Mountain Tribe had Yi Chen, an existence whose strength rivaled that of a god.
After taking a few steps—
Gu Li suddenly turned back.
A dazzling radiance burst from her huge bell-like eyes.
A blush unexpectedly appeared on her resolute, bronze-dark face.
She gritted her teeth and looked at Yi Chen. "I like you! If you want a woman, you can come find me anytime..."
Beside her, Luo Ge's expression froze.
His goddess had actually taken the initiative to throw herself into another man's arms?
And into the arms of an ugly man whose skin was not rough enough, whose features were not rugged enough, and whose body was not burly enough.
But when he looked at Yi Chen again—
He fell silent.
Only someone who could even kill the Green Leopard, an existence with strength comparable to a god, was worthy of his goddess.
Yi Chen, meanwhile, was completely dumbfounded.
"After a major battle, emotions usually get pretty stirred up. If you're willing, I can do it right now..."
Gu Li added bashfully and awkwardly.
"666, the peerless beauty of Exile Planet is actually so straightforward?"
"As expected, a man can be ugly and can be a straight-laced blockhead, but as long as he has ability, beautiful women will still come knocking on his door! Even on Exile Planet, where beauty standards differ, this is an unbreakable truth!"
"This Gu Li is pretty great! Not only is she a peerless beauty of Exile Planet, she also has good taste and a decisive personality. She knows to seize the initiative."
"It's over. My male god is about to be stolen away by a woman so ugly she makes people tremble!"
"On Exile Planet, Gu Li is a peerless beauty. So the production crew will probably soon switch to GG to replace the inappropriate visuals and sounds."
"Strange. Look at Yi Chen's scan data. His heartbeat hasn't fluctuated at all."
"As expected of a man who created a cultivation method, his composure is powerful enough to shake the ages and dazzle the present. Even with a peerless beauty throwing herself into his arms, he remains as still as an ancient well. I'm afraid only those ancient eminent monks could have done the same."
The viewers in the Live Stream Room were all deeply moved.
For a man, ugliness was not frightening, and being boring was not frightening. What was frightening was having no ability.
As long as he had ability, no matter where he was or what kind of environment he lived in, he could still attract beautiful women to throw themselves into his arms.
In the forest, Yi Chen was utterly bewildered.
In that instant, Gu Li seemed even more terrifying to him than the Green Leopard.
He had nearly turned around and run.
There was no helping it. Although he possessed the original owner's memories—
Neither his standards of beauty nor his thoughts and personality had changed in the slightest.
Fair skin, a pretty face, and long legs—that was what counted as a beauty in his eyes.
Gu Li...
Faced with this kind of peerless beauty, he would rather remain lonely for life than submit unto death!
