The Matter Was Settled

Luckily, Ace's pain didn't last long. His tail couldn't withstand Sun Yu's torment and finally snapped with a sharp crack.

Just as Sun Yu had expected, once Ace's tail was torn off, his enormous body rapidly shrank until he was back in his original werewolf form. But he was in a truly terrible state now; probably not a single bone in his body was still intact.

Sun Yu glanced down at him. He couldn't bear to let such a fine punching bag of wolf meat die, so he reached into his pocket for a Senzu Bean... Oh, right. He was in Great Ape form now. How the hell was he supposed to have pockets?

Forget it. Do your best to stay alive. I believe in you! Sun Yu silently muttered to himself, then left him alone.

Sun Yu couldn't bring himself to fight Lana while she was transformed into a Great Ape. He had only one goal: cut off her tail and bring the situation under control. For Sun Yu, who was also in Great Ape form, that wasn't difficult.

He roared and charged at Lana, wrapping his arms around her waist as he tried to reach for her tail.

But Lana, transformed into a Great Ape, had clearly figured out what Sun Yu was planning. She clamped both hands around his wrists, then jumped up and used her weight to press her body down on top of him.

Actually, "pressing down" wasn't quite right. She was sitting on him. Great Apes had unusual body proportions: long arms, but relatively short torsos and legs. So when Lana sat on Sun Yu's lower belly, it was inevitable that certain indescribable parts of them... Well, Sun Yu only felt a warmth in his lower abdomen. Lana might be in Great Ape form right now, but she was still Lana!

Besides, he was a Great Ape too, wasn't he?

Sun Yu was deeply conflicted. But since this novel was wholesome, refined, and lighthearted, he could only play the part of Liu Xiahui and remain unmoved, even with a beauty in his lap!

Sun Yu stretched out his arms to support Lana's thighs, then reached behind her. But Lana, sitting on top of him, wouldn't stay still. She kept raising her hands and pounding on his chest.

Great Apes had exceptionally well-developed pectoral muscles, so Lana's blows didn't hurt Sun Yu much. He didn't even feel any pain. But could she please stop moving around? With Lana squirming like that... Sun Yu felt like he was about to explode. His whole body was restless, with nowhere to release the tension. And just before the feeling reached its peak, he finally grabbed Lana's tail.

"Squish..."

He yanked hard, and Lana's tail snapped off. Her hands stopped pounding on Sun Yu, and confusion showed in her eyes. Her body quickly began to shrink, her fur receded, and her fair skin and graceful figure were revealed.

Seeing that the danger had passed, Sun Yu closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were human, and his ape body had returned to normal.

He lifted the naked Lana into his arms, and his heart nearly leaped out of his chest. Thankfully, Lana was still unconscious, sparing them an awkward scene—or so it seemed. It also gave Sun Yu the chance to stare at her to his heart's content.

That skin... Tsk, tsk, tsk. Firm yet supple, with not an ounce of excess fat anywhere. Lana was cradled in Sun Yu's arms, her head resting against his chest. Her delicate cheeks were red enough to drip blood...

Wait, wasn't she unconscious? Why was she blushing?

Sun Yu suddenly realized that Lana might be pretending to be unconscious. And what he'd just done... Ahem. He immediately cleared his throat twice and said guiltily, "Um... There should be a clothing store nearby. Yeah... We can find some clothes there..."

After saying that, he snuck a glance at Lana. Seeing that she was still pretending to sleep, he grew bolder, and his arms around her became increasingly brazen. As he flew, he even deliberately bounced her up and down. He felt the astonishing softness in his hands while humming a tune as if nothing were wrong, completely at ease!

After flying around the wreckage of the East City Grand Department Store for more than a dozen laps, Sun Yu finally entered a casual clothing shop, still reluctant to stop. He gently laid Lana on the floor, then continued pretending not to know she was awake. He made sure to speak loudly enough for her to hear: "Lana, I'm going to find you some clothes. Just lie here and take it easy."

As long as Sun Yu was there, Lana definitely wouldn't have the nerve to wake up. So he pretended to leave, giving her some time alone. Otherwise, he figured she would keep pretending to sleep.

Sure enough, the moment Sun Yu was out the door, Lana sprang to her feet. She glared in the direction he'd gone, gritting her teeth in anger. After stamping her foot, she began searching for clothes that fit.

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

"Oh, Lana, you're awake!" Sun Yu said with a deliberately surprised smile.

Lana walked over and shot him a fierce glare, then raised her foot and stomped on his. Sun Yu immediately grimaced in pain. "Lana, is this how you repay someone who saved your life? You're trying to murder your own... your own cousin!"

"If you say another word, I'll rip your mouth off!"

For some reason, Lana remembered a little of what had happened while she was transformed into an ape. As a Saiyan, a warrior race, she shouldn't have cared about her appearance. But for some reason, she really didn't want Sun Yu to see her as a Great Ape. She had looked so ugly. Her mind was in turmoil, and she worried Sun Yu would think she was a monster. Even though they were both Saiyans, girls always hoped to be beautiful...

The two flew through the air, one after the other. Sun Yu was still carrying Ace, who was barely breathing. The man would surely cause trouble if they left him behind, but Sun Yu thought it was a shame to kill him. So he decided to take him back for now and figure out what to do later.

Once they had flown beyond the battlefield at the East City Grand Department Store, Sun Yu unexpectedly spotted Briefs and Bulma, who were being kept behind the police cordon by several East City police officers. A large crowd of reporters stood behind them.

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

When Sun Yu and Lana approached, the young East City officers hurried over with ingratiating smiles. "You two heroes, have you dealt with the monster inside?"

Sun Yu gave a noncommittal nod, then ignored the officers and walked over to Briefs and Bulma.

"Big Brother Sun Yu!"

Bulma threw herself into Sun Yu's arms. He picked her up and stroked her hair, smiling. "Bulma, the situation inside is under control. Sorry for worrying you, Doctor!"
