A compatibility score of 93 really was no joke. Xie Lin felt as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
Lu Ye sounded deeply aggrieved.
"Did those animals touch you?"
"No. Get off me!"
He leaned his head back against Lu Ye's shoulder and jabbed him with his elbow.
"Quit fucking dawdling! They'll all get away!"
The corners of Lu Ye's lips curved slightly. He tilted his head and kissed the tip of Xie Lin's ear.
"If that actually happened, Xiao Lie would be utterly useless."
Xie Lin took a deep breath and shoved him far away.
"Rein in your pheromones."
"I already am."
Behind a tent a hundred meters away, Xiao Lie and the others all stopped short.
They hadn't smelled any pheromones, yet they simultaneously felt a terrifying pressure erupt nearby.
Their hearts raced and their throats tightened.
Two of them nearly dropped to their knees on the spot.
"X-Xiao Lie, what's this?"
Xiao Lie fell silent for a moment, then grinned.
"Last time, I thought I'd fought Lu Ye to a draw. Turns out he was going easy on me..."
Pheromones that powerful, controlled that freely, without even hurting bystanders-he had to be S+!
They were both S-Rank. Did a plus sign really make him that badass?
He shook his head, turned, and led the others onward to chase the men scattering in every direction.
Ignoring the four unconscious men sprawled on the ground, Xie Lin rushed toward the tent.
He lifted the flap and immediately spotted two children tied up in a corner.
Phew, thank goodness. The thing I feared most hadn't happened.
Xie Lin relaxed completely.
At the sight of him, the boy's eyes widened. Trembling all over with fear, he struggled to shift his body and shield the girl behind him.
