Interacting with Zhao Ruo, Luo Feng Arrives

"Heehee, do you want to come back with big sister? Big sister will definitely be gentler than Janet!"

It seems all girls are the same.

Even a beautiful War Goddess is no exception.

When they see a cute little animal, they just can't help but want to pet it.

Even if the thing is poisonous or dangerous, they disregard it entirely.

Of course, perhaps it is because the Capybara before her looks truly harmless to both humans and animals.

Thus, Zhao Ruo gave absolutely no thought to the danger.

Taking advantage of the moment the other party was eating beef jerky.

This little girl actually reached out to touch its head.

And Ye Xiu felt a wave of comfort.

He couldn't help but lie down on his side.

What is he doing?

He even exposed his white, fluffy belly.

Before Ye Xiu could even react, his body had already followed some instinct of being petted to the extreme, softly lying down on its side.

His four short legs stretched out involuntarily.

Exposing that belly, covered in soft fur and looking round and tender, right before Zhao Ruo's eyes.

"Oh my god! You can even show your belly!"

Zhao Ruo's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered some peerless treasure.

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and the surprise on her face was almost overflowing.

In her career of hunting monsters, this was a simply unimaginable scene.

A Commander-level monster was actually exposing its most vulnerable abdomen to her without any defense!

Who could resist this?

"Big sister is coming! Let big sister rub your little tummy!"

Zhao Ruo could hardly wait to reach out with those fair, slender hands that nevertheless contained remarkable strength.

Carefully and gently, she placed them upon Ye Xiu's furry, warm belly.

"Mmm..."

A sensation of comfort, even more bone-deep than the massage on his head, instantly swept through Ye Xiu's entire body!

The fur on his belly was relatively softer and denser, and the nerve endings seemed even more abundant.

Zhao Ruo's fingers carried just the right amount of warmth.

First, she stroked him gently all over, feeling the soft texture and the slight rise and fall caused by his breathing.

Then, her fingertips began to playfully draw circles on his belly, occasionally scratching lightly.

"Purr..."

An uncontrollable, satisfied purring sound emanated from deep within Ye Xiu's throat.

This sound was low and rhythmic, completely exposing his extreme relaxation and enjoyment at this moment.

He squinted his eyes, his head tilted unconsciously to one side, his limbs completely relaxed.

Even one of his hind legs kicked the air involuntarily because he had been scratched in a ticklish spot.

"Heehee, so soft and warm! Why are you so cute!"

Zhao Ruo laughed until her eyes turned into crescents, her hand movements becoming increasingly skillful.

Just as the atmosphere was harmonious and Ye Xiu was so comfortable he was almost falling asleep.

An extremely sharp sound of air being torn apart suddenly shattered the tranquility!

"Swish--!"

A cold, icy glint moved at a speed impossible for the naked eye to capture.

Like a venomous snake, it shot straight toward Ye Xiu's exposed, defenseless, soft belly!

The attack came too fast, too suddenly! It was filled with resolute killing intent!

Immersed in comfort, the fur all over Ye Xiu's body stood on end instantly, and a cold premonition of death surged through his entire body like an electric current!

He didn't even have time to think; driven by instinct, his body curled inward violently.

He attempted to protect his most vulnerable abdomen, while the black hole behind him almost reflexively prepared to unfold!

"Clang!"

At this critical juncture, another cold glint arrived later but reached first.

It struck the first cold glint with precision, emitting a crisp sound of metal clashing against metal!

Two identical throwing knives were knocked away simultaneously, spinning as they embedded themselves into the nearby soil, their hilts still humming.

It was Zhao Ruo!

The moment the throwing knives appeared, her expression shifted drastically, and her hand, which had been resting by her leg, lashed out almost instinctively.

She had intercepted the lethal strike using the spare throwing knife she carried with her!

"Luo Feng! What are you doing!"

Zhao Ruo was both shocked and furious; she stood up abruptly, shielding the still-dazed Ye Xiu behind her.

From the shadows of the nearby ruins, a young man with a cold expression and sharp eyes slowly stepped out.

He wore a standard combat uniform, his posture upright and tall.

The lingering scent of blood still clung to him, clearly indicating he had just emerged from a battle.

It was Luo Feng!

His brows were tightly furrowed, his gaze passing over Zhao Ruo.

He locked his eyes firmly onto the Capybara behind her, which had just rolled over and was still shaken, his expression filled with vigilance and confusion.

"Senior Sister Zhao Ruo, are you alright? Why are you protecting this monster?"

Luo Feng's voice was steady, carrying a hint of interrogation.

"I sensed a powerful energy fluctuation and the aura of a Commander-level beast here, so I worried you were in danger. I didn't expect that you were actually..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the implication was clear.

He didn't expect her to be playing with a Commander-level monster and even stopping him from killing it.

"It's not an ordinary monster! It's not aggressive; it's very docile!"

Zhao Ruo hurriedly explained, her face still flushed with lingering fear.

If she hadn't reacted quickly just now, this cute little guy would have likely been...

"Docile?"

Luo Feng's gaze grew even sharper.

"Senior Sister Zhao Ruo, have you forgotten the teachings of the training camp?

Those not of our race must have different intentions! Monsters are monsters; they are born enemies of humanity!

The docility you see is likely just a disguise!"

As he spoke, he secretly mobilized his spiritual power.

Several other throwing knives emerged silently from behind him, hovering in mid-air with their tips glinting coldly, aimed directly at Ye Xiu.

He looked ready to launch another attack at the slightest disagreement.

Ye Xiu had fully regained his senses by now, a wave of lingering fear and surging anger rising in his heart.

He recognized Luo Feng—this was the absolute protagonist of Swallowed Star, the future Galaxy Overlord!

Yet, at this moment, this protagonist had almost "protagonist-haloed" him to death!

He stared at Luo Feng vigilantly, his body crouching slightly, a low "woof" rumbling in his throat.

It was no longer the comfortable purr from before, but a sound carrying a warning.

The space behind him began to distort slightly, his Mini Black Hole ready to unfold at any moment.

Although he knew Luo Feng was not to be trifled with, if it truly came to a life-or-death struggle, he wasn't without the means to fight back!

The atmosphere instantly shifted from the previous warmth to one of extreme tension!

Zhao Ruo stood in the middle, looking at the cold, murderous Luo Feng.

Then she looked back at the baring-fanged, clearly provoked Ye Xiu, feeling a massive headache coming on.

"Luo Feng! Listen to me! It's really different!

It even ate the beef jerky I gave it just now and let me rub its belly..."

Zhao Ruo attempted to ease the tension.

"That only proves its intelligence is high and it knows how to exploit human sympathy!"

Luo Feng refused to budge, his gaze burning like a torch.

"Senior Sister, move aside! Let me finish it off to prevent future trouble!"

Seeing the light on Luo Feng's throwing knives intensify, signaling another imminent attack, Zhao Ruo grew anxious, her own Force beginning to surge.

"Luo Feng! Don't you dare! I found it first!"
