Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Gu Fangqi

She scrambled forward like a madwoman.

But weakened as she was, she didn’t get more than a few steps before she lost her footing and fell heavily to the ground.

Shen Yue ignored the sharp pain wracking her body and looked up, only to see Si Bao’s eyes rolling back in his head as the man held him.

"Si Bao!! Stop it, you bastard!"

And in that moment, looking up, the moonlight allowed her to finally see the man’s face clearly!

’Is that... Gremu, the City Lord of Barbaric City from the original owner’s memories?’

This man was actually the City Lord of Barbaric City!

’Why? Why is he here?’

The little ones on the ground saw that Si Bao had gone limp in the man’s grasp, no longer reacting.

They all burst into tears at once:

"Fourth Brother!"

"Si Bao! You big bad guy, let go of Si Bao!"

Wubao and Liu Bao lunged forward, grabbed Gremu’s legs, and bit down hard.

Dabao and Sanbao charged at him again as well.

Even the most timid of them, Er Bao, had his eyes red with tears:

"Bad guy, let go of Si Bao!"

As if he had suddenly grown up, he leaped up and bit into Gremu’s arm.

Gremu winced in pain, his sinister expression darkening.

"You troublesome pests!"

He raised his other hand, about to strike Er Bao with a palm.

Shen Yue’s eyes flew open, her breath catching in her throat in terror.

"You dare. If you dare hurt him, I’ll kill you."

At that moment, Shen Yue seemed to snap. Her eyes bloodshot, she took the silver needle in her hand and jabbed it into her own Hegu acupoint.

The pain from the acupoint seemed to alleviate the weakness in her limp body.

The heat flushing her body subsided in an instant.

Just as the man’s palm was about to land.

"Let him go!"

Shen Yue threw herself forward like a madwoman.

Gremu’s eyes narrowed. He was about to turn and unleash his spiritual power on her.

But who would have thought...

"Hey, need a hand?"

A light yet arrogant voice drifted down from above, accompanied by a powerful gust of air.

Gremu froze abruptly.

In that instant, Shen Yue crashed into Gremu, viciously stabbing the silver needle in her hand into his arm.

She plunged another needle into his side.

It was the exact same spot where she had stabbed Xiong Da, Xiong Jiaojiao’s Beast Husband.

Gremu’s hand went numb first, and his grip instantly slackened.

Si Bao and Er Bao fell from his grasp.

Shen Yue caught both children and quickly retreated several steps.

This entire series of events happened in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, the air around them seemed to churn, stirred by an invisible force.

The tree branches began to sway, though there was no wind.

Gremu looked at the children held in Shen Yue’s arms, then scanned his surroundings, his rage palpable.

"Who’s there?"

He felt that the voice was somehow familiar.

"Only knows how to bully women and children. The Eagle Clan, as expected of lowlifes!"

From the shadows, the man’s voice rang out again, dripping with sarcasm.

Shen Yue could tell that the owner of the voice must be an exceedingly arrogant and unrestrained person.

Gremu’s face darkened, his eyes turning terrifyingly sinister.

He racked his brain, trying to remember where he had heard that voice before.

Meanwhile, Shen Yue struggled to keep her balance. Taking advantage of the voice distracting Gremu, she clutched Si Bao and Er Bao and retreated step by step.

The little cubs at her feet also carefully backed away with her.

But Gremu noticed her movement. Ignoring the voice in the shadows, he gathered his spiritual power and reached for Si Bao in her arms.

"Give me that Blood Wolf!"

Startled, Shen Yue tried to twist her body away.

But as someone with no spiritual power, how could she possibly dodge a male who wielded it?

All she could do was pray that the needle she had just used would cause a major hemorrhage in his spleen soon.

’Let him die quickly!’

But now, Gremu’s hand was just about to grab her arm...

She was terrified.

’I absolutely cannot let him snatch Si Bao away!’

She was just about to pull the wrench out of her dimensional space...

When suddenly—

A formidable power struck from above.

BANG!

It instantly knocked Gremu back several steps.

After steadying himself, Gremu sensed the origin of this power, and his expression changed dramatically.

He looked up, his voice seeming to squeeze through clenched teeth:

"Gu Fangqi!!! It’s you!"

Shen Yue froze.

’Gu Fangqi?’

At that moment, the branches above rustled, and an invisible current of air swirled.

Shen Yue also looked up.

There, a figure, radiating arrogance and disdain, slowly came to stand on a branch.

A cascade of red hair fell down his back. He wore a dark red robe and stood with his hands clasped behind him.

His tall, slender figure, like a strong pine dusted with snow, was so outstandingly dazzling it was breathtaking.

A gentle breeze rustled his robes and made his red hair drift lightly, like the most stunning and solitary splash of red upon the mountainside.

Although the moonlight was behind him, obscuring his face, his mere silhouette was enough to make Shen Yue stare blankly for several seconds.

The man let out a sneer, his voice filled with an indescribable, wild arrogance:

"I didn’t expect someone on this borderland to recognize this lord."

Gremu trembled all over, his body practically radiating a monstrous hatred.

"Gu Fangqi, I’d recognize you even if you were turned to ash!"

"Is that so? This lord doesn’t recall knowing a character like you!"

As he spoke, the man’s carefree, lilting voice carried a hint of mockery:

"Not many people know this lord. Seeing how you’re gnashing your teeth, I’m quite curious. Could it be that this lord stole your Female Master’s heart, and that’s why you resent me so much?"

Listening to this, Shen Yue couldn’t help but frown.

’What a narcissistic man.’

But unexpectedly, Gremu roared back in anger:

"You have the nerve to say that? If it weren’t for you back then, how would this City Lord have ended up so alone? I will repay the shame of that day right now!"

Shen Yue: "..."

’Wait, so did this man really seduce away Gremu’s Female Master?’

’Wow. No wonder Gremu hates him so much.’

The hatred of having one’s mate stolen.

’This man really is something else!’

Just as Gremu finished speaking, he charged toward Gu Fangqi above.

The man above, however, seemed to pay him no mind. With a light tap of his toes, he floated down with the wind.

Shen Yue tilted her head up, watching the man’s figure slowly descend.

She saw his face clearly in the moonlight.

His brows were like distant mountains, his complexion like a peach blossom, and his dark golden eyes radiated a wild, heart-stopping unruliness.

Like the creator’s most prized aged liquor, a single glance was enough to intoxicate without a single sip.

It seemed as if even the wind couldn’t help but linger by his side for a moment longer, just for the chance to stir his light, red hair...

The man landed gracefully before Shen Yue.

He gave her a slight bow and tilted his head.

"I’m asking you. Do you need help?"

Shen Yue gasped sharply.

Those dark golden eyes seemed as if they would pull her in.

Meanwhile, Gremu, seeing that he had lunged at empty air, roared in fury:

"Gu Fangqi!"

He instantly dove down again.

Gu Fangqi simply raised a hand—still with his back to Gremu—and the force of it sent Gremu flying!

Seeing Gremu fall to the ground, spit up a mouthful of blood, and then go still...

Shen Yue’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’This person’s strength is probably on par with Huang Ziyue’s.’

Gu Fangqi watched her stand there silently and sized her up with curiosity.

"What, scared stiff? This lord saved you. Shouldn’t you be saying thank you?"

’He saved me?’

She glanced at Gremu, lying motionless on the ground, her face unreadable.

Then, she looked up toward the midpoint of the mountain.

There.

Huang Ziyue was still struggling to hold on.

A glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at the man before her.

"Thank you. In that case, how about you see this through to the end?"

Gu Fangqi was taken aback for a moment.

...

In front of the bamboo house, high in the air and across the mountain peak, Huang Ziyue took one last deep look at Shen Yue before he began to gather his power. He planned to use all his spiritual power in a single strike to disperse the black mist surrounding the man in black.

That black mist was equivalent to a protective barrier for the man in black; if it wasn’t scattered, he couldn’t be harmed.

Down below, Mu Silin, Bai Chaosi, and the others took turns launching several rounds of attacks against the man in black.

It was all just to buy time for Huang Ziyue to gather his strength.

When they saw a red glow begin to emanate from Huang Ziyue’s beast form, they knew the time had come.

Mu Silin and the others exchanged a look and charged toward the man in black in unison.

From above, the giant dragon let out a deafening roar and dove down as well.

The sound was deafening, piercing the heavens.

At this moment, they had only one goal.

Kill this man.

Only then would Shen Yue and the children be completely safe.
