Chapter 60 - Trapped in a Small Town

A night had passed, and Lu Hong woke up from his groggy state.

What had happened last night?

Starting from when Lois had beaten him up, Lu Hong gradually lost his self-awareness, so he really had no idea about what had happened afterward.

Why am I lying in the middle of the street?

Lu Hong looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, just about to get up, but he inadvertently moved Lois, who was sound asleep on top of him.

“Hisss~” Unlike Lu Hong, who possessed a healing aura, the pain from last night was fully feedback to her brain as she moved her body.

“I…,” Lu Hong looked at Lois’ face, swollen like a pig’s head.

If not for her distinctive blue hair, he wouldn’t have recognized her.

Under the call of pain, Lois, too, groggily woke up.

Seeing herself naked, hugging the young man from last night, she was immediately filled with rage, “You filthy lecher!”

“Although I want to object, but…,” Regarding this 404 situation, as a man, Lu Hong wasn’t at a disadvantage.

So he didn’t know what to say, Should I take responsibility?

Wouldn’t that be unfair to Danni?

“Wuwuwu…,” Lois couldn’t help but burst into tears, “You pervert, after you did that to me, you chose such a place, how am I supposed to face people in the future?”

Lois had gone berserk before Lu Hong, so she also didn’t know what exactly had happened, and simply assumed that Lu Hong had defeated her then dragged her to the center of the town and cruelly played the rogue.

“I…

I don’t know either!” Lu Hong was also visibly upset.

If he had any consciousness at all, he definitely wouldn’t have done such a thing.

“It’s you, it’s you!” Lois began pounding Lu Hong’s chest with small fists without using any strength.

Although Lois often hung around in bars, she remained unblemished.

She couldn’t bring herself to hate the man who had taken her first time.

“You two are finally awake!” At this moment, the bar owner flew down from the sky and threw clothes at them, “Put on your clothes, you look terrible.”

“Zhan Haixin!

Why didn’t you save me last night?!” Lois stared angrily at the bar owner who she considered barely a friend, full of resentment.

This woman had the power to save her virtue.

“You can’t blame me for this, you insisted on clinging to him, how could I stop something that you willingly did?” Zhan Haixin said with a smile, “Besides, it was live-streamed, you know!”

“Me?

I threw myself at him?

Impossible!” Lois certainly didn’t believe her nonsense.

“Knew you wouldn’t believe it.” Zhan Haixin took out a pure white Crystal Ball from behind her and said, “See for yourself.”

Saying so, she infused Magic Power into it, and the wild scenes from last night replayed before their eyes.

Although Lois seemed promiscuous in the bar, in her heart, she was incredibly reserved.

She couldn’t believe how proactive and crazy she had been last night.

“See, see!

It was you who initiated it, nothing to do with me!” Lu Hong quickly seized the opportunity to clear his name.

“Shameless!” Lois couldn’t help but spit in his direction before snatching the Crystal Ball.

Such an item shouldn’t fall into the wrong hands.

Zhan Haixin seemed to have anticipated this move, not surprised at all.

Instead, she laughed, “I’ll give this Crystal Ball to you as a souvenir for free, since I’ve already made many copies.”

“Zhan Haixin!” Lois instantly became furious.

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you.

I don’t care much for such things anyway.” Seeing Lois about to explode, Zhan Haixin quickly soothed her, then continued, “How much longer do you plan to stay here?

I’ve had to seal off the town’s center from last night until now for your sake.”

Now that things had calmed somewhat, Lois noticed the magic fog enveloping the surroundings.

Damn it!

Zhan Haixin could do all this, so why didn’t she stop last night’s absurd drama?

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.” Lu Hong put on the clothes Zhan Haixin had brought and wasn’t interested in joining the women’s conversation, so he got up to leave.

“You can’t go!” Of course, Lois wasn’t going to let him leave so easily: “You took my virginity and think you can just walk away?

Pah!

Scum!”

“What do you want me to do then?” Lu Hong spread his hands, “Anyway, you were the initiator last night, it’s not like you suffered any loss.” Right now, Lu Hong had no interest in dealing with issues involving this violent woman.

“Jerk!

As long as I’m here, you won’t be leaving the town!” Lois was internally conflicted, unsure how to handle their relationship, so she thought about keeping him in town for now, settling scores later.

“No, I have important things to do.

I can’t stay here indefinitely.” Lu Hong couldn’t forget Nono’s situation and directly refused her demand.

“Humph!

That’s not up to you!” Lois snorted coldly, and as Zhan Haixin dispelled the magic fog, 400 and more members of the War Scars Mercenary Group surrounded them.

“Vice-captain!

How are you?

Are you hurt…,” The mercenaries started to express their concern for Lois, but seeing her face swollen like a pig’s head, they couldn’t continue, quickly changing their inquiry, “Vice-captain!

We’ll kill this guy for you!”

“Shut up!” Lois shouted angrily to calm her subordinates down.

“Vice-Captain, what happened last night?” a subordinate curiously asked.

“It was just…

just fighting all night,” Lois said, her face red as she pointed to the pockmarked ground, “Look for yourselves, this is all from the battle last night.

Later on, you guys gather some stones and fill these holes for me.”

Zhan Haixin chuckled on the side, “Yes, your Vice-Captain is right, it was fighting all night.” Of course, Zhan Haixin’s definition of fighting was different from what Lois meant.

Lois knew what Zhan Haixin meant and glared at her irritably before her gaze shifted to Lu Hong as if warning him not to speak out of line.

“Oh!

So that’s it, Vice-Captain mighty!” the subordinates flattered her.

“Alright, from now on you guys watch this kid!

Absolutely do not let him leave this town!” Lois commanded, then a hundred-strong mercenary team fixed their eyes on Lu Hong: “Yes, Vice-Captain!

Rest assured, we won’t let this kid leave!”

“Lock Fan,” Lock Fan had been outside in the mist all night and didn’t steal the mercenaries’ limelight even as the mist cleared, arriving at the scene one step behind.

Seeing that his boss was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Lois!

I’ve said I have important business, I must leave town!” Lu Hong said sternly.

“I don’t care what business you have, even if the sky falls, you’re staying right here!”

“Let me go first, and once I’ve handled my affair, I’ll come back and explain everything to you,” Lu Hong proposed a compromise, guarded by a group of Second Transition mercenaries, he really had no way to escape the town.

“Hehe~” Lois chuckled coldly three times, “You think I’m a three-year-old?”

“Otherwise, I’ll leave my little brother with you, you should be assured now?

I definitely won’t abandon my little brother,” Lu Hong had no choice but to push Lock Fan forward, not wanting to let go of the youngster and fail to catch the wolf!

“I…

Lock Fan, don’t do this!” Having witnessed last night’s violence from this woman, Lock Fan dared not stand before her.

“Hmph!

Get this idea out of your head!

Whatever you say, I will not let you leave!” Lois didn’t want to entangle with Lu Hong on this matter anymore and turned to leave.

“Lois!” Lu Hong still wanted to say something, but a group of mercenaries suddenly stood before him, blocking his view, “Our Vice-Captain doesn’t want to talk to you right now, just roll back where you came from!”

Lu Hong ultimately sighed, and decided to find another way.

With no other choice, he could only return to the inn with Lock Fan first to discuss their strategy.

And behind them followed the hundred mercenaries, not leaving them for a moment.

“Lock Fan, what really happened last night?” Lock Fan glanced back at the mercenaries and asked in a low voice.

“Nothing, don’t ask too much, it could get deadly,” Lu Hong was certain that if the matter leaked, Lois would likely kill him to defend her dignity and position.

“Alright.” Seeing that Lu Hong wasn’t willing to say more, Lock Fan tactfully didn’t press further.

In a little while, the two reached the inn’s entrance, and before they could enter, the mercenaries had already retreated a few steps, displaying a fearful expression.

“Hm?” Lu Hong, with a hint of suspicion, slightly moved his ears.

“My god, this kid actually stays in old Tu’s inn, really has a death wish!”

“Yeah, old Tu is known as ‘Killer from a Thousand Miles,’ just slightly catching a whiff of the scent from there is enough to end your life!”

“Didn’t I hear that Squad Leader Bo Kana had some dealings with him?”

“That you didn’t know?

Bo Kana and his two brothers once did a mission in the Corrosion Cave, inhaling corrosive gas which damaged their sense of smell, so they’re not affected by that ‘Killer from a Thousand Miles.'”

“I see, no wonder, no wonder.”

After seeing that Lu Hong was staying here, the mercenaries, following a discussion, decided to retreat by thirty yards, put on the town-developed anti-poison masks specifically for old Tu, and completely surrounded the inn, but entering was not an option, they never could in their lifetime.

“Why aren’t they following us in?” Lock Fan curiously asked.

“Yeah, they don’t dare to come in,” Lu Hong said with a smile as he walked into the inn.

Since they dared not enter the inn, there was still some room for maneuver to escape the town, wasn’t there?
