37 Humberts death (1/2)
”what happened here?!” going through numbness and at the same time through dumbness by seeing the large hole in the cavern floor, Lan Ju spoke.
When the floor crumbled with a big sound, she was *cough* doing the deed using Owen. Of course, to counter the Aphrodisiac poison.
Interrupting her deed, putting her clothes back; untidy, she came back to the cavern... actually, not a cavern in true sense anymore. She was standing near the tunnel's edge now and gazing the enormous dark hole.
”Did all of them fell into the hole! What should I do now?! I should call help from families first...but how should I get out of this damn maze?!” Lan Ju was panicking; she didn't know if the people plunged into this hole were safe or not. She wanted to help others now urgently, but she was helpless; even her situation was hopeless.
Ting!
A blue window appeared in front of Lan Ju. There was something written on it, and Lan Ju read it out
”message, from Master. Don't go happily fantasising that you got liberated from my devilish fangs...I am still alive and kicking. How can I just die just after enslaving a gorgeous maid like you? I am more resilient than a cockroach you know.”
When did she think about such things? So, Lan Ju felt bitter and wronged.
She continued reading: ”every bodies fine...it was really a pain to save some extra luggage, so don't you dare jump down! I will not be there to save you like I saved others so you will cripple yourself. The height is no joke.”
”open the Main Mission option, and take Owen and leave this dooms forest.”
The message finished. Lan Ju wanted to complain; I don't know how to get out of this place! Then how could you order me to leave!
After closing the message window, she then opened the main mission option.

___________________________________
Needless to say, even if there was no this main mission Lan Ju would still bring back Owen safely out of this dooms forest. she wouldn't leave him in this crippled state here alone.
However, the Main Mission pleasantly surprised Lan Ju. Five hundred points!; a total of five hundred points she would gain if she completed this mission. Not only this, there were even Five thunder arrows she would gain... Just their description alone made her feel excited!
King level...King level arrows! If these arrows became her possession, then she could even kill a king Level cultivator or severely injure him!How nice it would be to have such trump cards.
And the main thing which made her happy was the labyrinth map option. Lan Ju opted this option.
A game like Map appeared on the right corner of her visual filled. This map was detailed one and showed her the way out of the labyrinth.
”Now then, lets began the Mission!” Lan Ju cheerfully said.
.....
Following the map and carrying the unconscious Owen on her back, Lan Ju finally came out of the damn Grotto!
But before she came out, she once again did the deed with Owen to neutralise the Aphrodisiac poison completely.
”Finally came out!” Lan Ju Shouted relieving her mood.
However, her mood suddenly turned serious when she saw the Hyena beast in her vision!
The injured four-star grade beast, they came for, was grinning towards her! It was as if, it was waiting for her here outside!
The Hyena-beast opened its mouth and was going to hurl a fireball towards Lan Ju!
”!!!” Lan Ju was alarmed. It was difficult for her to dodge the fireball carrying Owen on her back.
But before could the beast hurl the fireball, it was interrupted by an order: ”stop it.”
The hyena beast did as the voice ask it to do, it dissipated the fire ball and tamely walked towards a nasty looking middle-aged person while swinging its tail left to right.
Yes, this middle-aged nasty looking person was Humbert who crippled Owen and was crushingly defeated by Sam inside the cavern!
”Give me young master Owen, girl. I will be taking him back to his house.”Humbert said.
Lan Ju tensed up. Didn't this guy ruthlessly crippled Owen...then how could she even trust his words now: ”No, I will be taking Owen to his house.”
”Girl, I am not asking you...”Humbert vanished from his place for a second, then reappeared in the same place carrying Owen on his back. His speed was so fast that Lan Ju couldn't even react and had Owen get grasped.
Humbert continued: ”I was just telling you.”
”give me Owen back!” Lan Ju un-mindedly dashed towards Humbert. Even though she knew she was powerless before a King cultivator like Humbert, she couldn't help it. At the moment, Owen's safety was most important to her.
BAM!
The Hyena beast strongly hit Lan Ju in her stomach using its head.
The hit was overpowering; Lan Ju got crashed onto the Grotto's side wall with a loud ”BANG!”
Lan Ju was hurt very badly; she even had a few of her bones broken. She coughed blood, and soon she found Humbert stated to leave.
She wanted to dash once again, but her body wasn't listening to her. She couldn't even stand up; she was just lying seated down on the ground with the support of Grotto's stone wall to her back.
”return Owen back to me, or I'll inform Athos family that you crippled his limbs.” Lan Ju weakly said. She threatened Humbert; this was the only thing she could do at present. [ Athos is Owen's clan]
And her threat worked, Humbert stooped and angrily asked: ”what did you say?!”
Lan Ju didn't reply; she calmly gazed Humbert.
Humbert angrily opened his mouth: ”You know I wanted to cure Owen first then return him back to Athos family...”
Lan Ju sarcastically interrupted: ”to save your skin from Athos family... I know. but still I want Owen back, and if you didn't return him to me, I'd inform Athos family what you did to him.”
”you bitch! Don't push your luck far. You think I wouldn't kill you since you are young master Flynn's Bitch?!” Humbert angrily said.
”I am not his bitch!” Lan Ju released killing intent.
”you fucked with Young master Flynn; you fucked with Owen and that too at the same time! If you aren't a bitch then what are you...a high-level prostitute!?” Humbert angrily said.
”you...” Lan Ju started to shiver. Humbert words were very coarse to hear.
In her anger, Lan Ju said: ”I will definitely inform Athos family you crippled Owen!”
Humbert flashed just before Lan Ju and lifted her by clutching her hairs tightly and cynically smiled: ”now I decided, I'll playfully torture you and then kill you!”
*spit* Lan Ju spit on Humbert's face. She fearlessly said: ”if I die, my family will hunt you down.”
”but who would inform I killed you?” Humbert didn't remove the saliva on his face. He just punched Lan Ju in her stomach.
