The Matter is Resolved

Fortunately, the pain Ace endured did not last long, for his wolf tail could not withstand Sun Yu's torture for much longer and finally snapped with a loud "pop."

Just as Sun Yu had anticipated, once Ace's wolf tail was ripped off, his massive body rapidly shrank, reverting to his original wolf-man form, though he was in a wretched state; it was doubtful he had a single bone left intact.

Sun Yu glanced down at him, unable to bring himself to let such a good wolf-meat punching bag die, so he reached into his pocket for a Senzu Bean... wait, right, he was in Great Ape form—where the hell would he have pockets!

Forget it, try your best to survive, I'm rooting for you! Sun Yu thought to himself, then ignored him entirely.

Sun Yu could not bring himself to fight Lana in her Great Ape form; his only goal now was to sever her tail to regain control of the situation, which was not a difficult task for Sun Yu, who was also in his Great Ape state.

He let out a roar, then charged at Lana, wrapping his arms around her waist in an attempt to reach back and rip off her tail.

However, Lana, in her Great Ape form, clearly realized Sun Yu's intent; she gripped his wrists tightly with both hands, then leaped up, using her own body weight to pin him down.

In truth, it was less of a pin and more of a sit, as the Great Ape's unique anatomy—long arms with relatively short torsos and legs—meant that as Lana sat on Sun Yu's lower abdomen, it was inevitable that certain indescribable parts would make contact... Sun Yu only felt a warmth in his lower abdomen, and even though Lana was in her Great Ape state, she was still Lana, after all!

Besides, he was a giant ape himself!

Sun Yu's heart was in turmoil, but given that this novel is artistic, wholesome, and fresh, Sun Yu had no choice but to play the role of Liu Xiahui—truly remaining unmoved even while holding a beauty!

Sun Yu extended his ape arms to support Lana's thighs and reached toward her back, but Lana, sitting on him, was not about to stay still; she kept raising her hands to pummel Sun Yu's chest.

The Great Ape's pectoral muscles were exceptionally developed, so Lana's actions caused Sun Yu no real damage, not even a hint of pain, but could you please stop moving, girl! With Lana fidgeting like that... Sun Yu felt like he was about to explode, his body surging with restless energy, until finally, just before that feeling reached its peak, he grabbed Lana's tail.

"Snap..."

With a forceful tug, Lana's tail broke off on cue. Her hands stopped pummeling Sun Yu, a look of confusion washing over her eyes, and soon her body began to shrink, her fur receding to reveal snow-white skin and a delicate figure.

Seeing the crisis averted, Sun Yu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they had returned to human eyes, his ape form reverting to a human body.

Picking up the stark-naked Lana, Sun Yu's heart was pounding out of his chest. Fortunately, Lana was still unconscious, which kept the situation from being as awkward as it could have been. Precisely because of this, Sun Yu found the opportunity to boldly and shamelessly stare at Lana's body.

This skin... tsk tsk tsk, firm yet supple, without a single ounce of excess fat. Lana was currently being carried in Sun Yu's arms, her head resting against his chest, her delicate cheeks flushed so red they looked like they might bleed...

Wait, if she was unconscious, why was she blushing!

Sun Yu suddenly realized that Lana might be faking her unconsciousness, and his recent behavior... ahem, Sun Yu immediately coughed twice, feeling guilty as a thief, and said, "Uh... uh, there should be a clothing store nearby, yeah... we can find some clothes there..."

After speaking, he stole a glance at Lana and, seeing she was still feigning sleep, grew bolder, his hands holding her becoming increasingly uninhibited. During the flight, he even intentionally bounced up and down, enjoying the incredible sensation against his hands while humming a little tune, feeling quite at ease!

After circling the devastated East City Grand Department Store a dozen or so times, Sun Yu finally entered a casual clothing store, still unsatisfied. He gently placed Lana on the ground and, continuing to pretend he didn't know she was awake, said intentionally for her to hear, "Sister Lana, I'll go find you some clothes first; you just lie here and rest."

As long as Sun Yu was there, Lana would never have the face to wake up, so Sun Yu pretended to leave to give her some time alone; otherwise, he felt she would definitely keep playing dead.

Sure enough, the moment Sun Yu left, Lana sprang up with a "whoosh." She glared at the doorway where Sun Yu had departed, gnashing her teeth in anger, stomped her foot hard, and began searching for clothes that fit.

By the time Sun Yu reappeared, Lana was fully dressed.

"Oh, Sister Lana, you're awake!" Sun Yu laughed, feigning surprise.

Lana walked over, shot Sun Yu a fierce glare, and then raised her foot to stomp on his, causing him to wince in pain: "Sister Lana, you're returning kindness with malice! This is attempted murder of your... your cousin!"

"One more word out of you, and I'll tear your mouth off!"

For some reason, Lana had a vague recollection of what happened while she was in her ape form. As a Saiyan, a warrior race, she shouldn't have cared about her appearance, but for some reason, she felt a deep internal resistance to facing Sun Yu in her Great Ape form—she felt so ugly like that. Lana's heart was in chaos; she worried that Sun Yu would think of her as a monster. Even though they were both Saiyans, a girl always hopes to remain the most beautiful in the eyes of others...

The two flew one after the other in the sky, Sun Yu carrying the faint, gasping Ace in his hand. Leaving this guy alive was bound to be trouble, but killing him felt like a waste, so Sun Yu decided to take him back first and figure it out later.

After flying out of the perimeter of the East City Grand Department Store, Sun Yu unexpectedly saw Briefs and Bulma being held behind a police cordon by several East City police officers, along with a large crowd of reporters behind them.

Sun Yu signaled for Lana to descend with him. The East City police immediately recognized Sun Yu and Lana as the heroes who had defeated the Eastern Bank robbers.

Seeing Sun Yu and Lana approach, the young East City officers ran over eagerly, faces full of smiles: "Great heroes, have you already dealt with the monster inside?"

Sun Yu nodded noncommittally, then ignored the officers and walked up to Briefs and Bulma.

"Brother Sun Yu!"

Bulma threw herself into Sun Yu's arms. Sun Yu picked her up, stroked her hair, and smiled: "Bulma, Doctor, the situation inside is resolved. Sorry to have made you worry!"
