Chapter 554 (1/2)

The Super Lion (1)

Before Li Yue could ask what Ye Lang was doing, he said, “Just tell me where to go for the first part of the journey. Tell me the rest later when we arrive!”

“Alright… Also, put me down! I’m not weak now, I don’t need you to carry me everywhere!” Li Yue was wriggling in his arms but to no avail.

Ye Lang’s strength and the Yang energy radiating off him slowly made her stop struggling.

“You’re not weak but you run too slow, it’ll be faster for me to carry you!” said Ye Lang, who proceeded to prove his point.

Initially, she did not understand him. What did he mean? He’d be faster if he carried her? However, when she saw the extreme speed in his sprint, and the wind roaring in her ears, she understood- he thought she was too slow.

However, it was true. He was running faster than the fastest horse in the world, how could she keep up? It was no wonder they travelled hundreds of kilometers in one afternoon, he really carried her all the way!

All of this seemed so unbelievable. This speed was unfathomable- she couldn’t understand how he could do this using only the muscles in his legs and without an ounce of magic.

Ye Lang, O’ Ye Lang, how many secrets do you hold? How many inexplicable things have happened to you?

Li Yue gave up thinking about how odd Ye Lang was. Treating these matters as a daily occurrence was the smartest choice.

Her head slowly tipped closer to his chest and as she lay quietly, she listened to his heartbeat, completely forgetting time…

“Roar…” A violent roar startled Li Yue.

“What’s going on?! Eh? It’s almost noon?”

Although she didn’t know how much time had passed, she was sure it was almost noon from the position of the sun in the sky. That meant Ye Lang had been running for almost four to five hours since this morning.

She couldn’t believe he could maintain his speed for such long hours, she thought that was only a temporary burst of energy!

Let’s not think about that for the moment- what was that roar?

“Ah, it’s a lion…” Li Yue saw a male lion chasing after them from behind. It was very muscular, looking very majestic as it tailed Ye Lang.

“You just noticed? It’s been after me for an hour now. Not bad for a lion, it doesn’t even look tired,” Ye Lang said with a grin.

“One hour? Then I don’t think it’s a regular lion? What did you do to anger it? It would never follow you for an hour for no reason,” said Li Yue. Why would a lion follow a human for an hour? Even if it had the strength, it would not have the patience.

Plus, lions usually had their own territory. They would not chase after a prey too far outside the boundary of their territory.

And… this lion didn’t have the usual yellow coat, it was a fire red. This obviously was no regular lion, it must be a magical beast.

“As I was running, I accidentally stepped on its tail, then it started to chase me!” he answered nonchalantly.
