Chapter 694 - Mysterious Man (2/2)

Their faces drained of all colour. Shen Ying locked the plane passage because they would not be the man’s match. Then there could only be one reason why Shen Ying would block off their connection to Shen Jing as well – even Shen Jing was not the man’s match…

—————

At the Chaos Void.

“That’s a wise choice.” The man kept his eyes on the spot where Lonemoon and Yi Qing both disappeared. Then, he turned to face Shen Ying, a warm smile on his face. “Given your identity, it is not right for you to always be ragging those two oil tanks around. Yet, you bring them wherever you go.”

Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and scanned the man from head to toe. A moment later, she retrieved another fruit from her bag and bit into it. “Are you jealous?”

“What?!” The man paused, as if he had not expected her to ask something like this.

Shen Ying tilted her head and continued, “I’ve seen many single men just like you. I understand!”

“…” What do you understand?! Why are you looking at me so contemptuously?! The man pursed his lips, then let out a long sigh. He shook his head and said, “There’s no point talking about all of these things now.”

“What do you mean by that!” Shen Ying kept her expression straight. “After all, you’re a single, wandering man. You’re different from a group like us, sophisticated tourists. It’s understandable that you would have an inferiority complex!”

“…” Understandable my ass! Why did he feel the sudden urge to rush forward and strangle this woman? Why didn’t he find out that she was like that when he was conducting his research earlier? The man pressed his forehead, trying to keep his cool. “Do you know who I am?”

Shen Ying took another bite of her fruit. A moment later, through gritted teeth, she said, “You’re the man who managed to avoid the monitors’ investigations into the Heavenly Dao Organisation, helped Mu Xiang back to her original plane and allowed this system to invade Chef’s plane.”

“Oh?” The man narrowed his eyes. He looked surprised. “So you knew who I was all along. You are quite smart after all.”

“It’s not that I have good eyesight – you’ve just been too obvious.” Shen Ying glanced at him and added, “I’m not blind.”

“Heh heh heh…” The man did not get worked up. Instead, he continued smiling. “Then do you know why I’m doing all of this?”

Shen Ying studied the fruit in her hand. She turned it so that it would be easier for her to take another bite. Then, she said, “You’re bored out of your mind!”

“…”

The man’s smile faltered. Suddenly, his lips twisted. He no longer bothered about acting kind. His gaze turned cool and he said in a very serious tone, “It’s my test for you. A test to see whether you meet my standards.”

“O,” Shen Ying answered nonchalantly. She looked completely uninterested in whatever this man had to say. Tossing the core of the fruit aside, she looked up at the main system. It was acting half-dead, but she noticed it inching backward every chance that it got. All it wanted to do was to escape. She raised her chin to look at the man. “You want to fight me on its behalf?”

“Mm?” The man stared blankly back at her, then glanced at the system. He shook his head. “Don’t misunderstand me. I have no liking toward this plane’s insects. Of course I’m not going to help it. It’s just that…”

“Oh, that’s alright then!” Shen Ying cut him off mid-sentence. She began to walk toward the trembling main system.

The man: “…” Was she going to deal with him this impatiently?
