Although Yue Lin was strong, he was not a reconnaissance superpower, so it was understandable that he failed to notice in time; but even Sun Jing didn’t notice the fluctuations of this mutant species, how did this weak female know?

The situation allowed no time for thought. The monster, enraged by its failed ambush, let out an angry roar and launched a more ferocious attack on everyone.

The more they fought, the more shocked they became. This mutant species had reached the Domain Dominator Level, equivalent to a Primordial Beast Level beastman!

Its strength fluctuated almost on par with Yue Lin!

A Tenth Rank Beastman was like an ant in front of it.

After a fierce battle, the surrounding mountains and rocks were reduced to ruins. The intense fight attracted more mutant species, and the team gradually began to show signs of exhaustion, almost unable to hold on.

Yue Lin clenched his teeth, his face solemn. Seeing that his teammates were no match for this monster, he feared that dragging it out would lead to complete annihilation. As the team leader, he immediately decided to draw this overlord-level mutant species away on his own and take it to an open area for a decisive battle.

In the midst of the chaotic battle, the team members were scattered, each fighting the mutant beasts before them, unable to look out for others. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Shen Tang, however, noticed Yue Lin leading the monster away alone.

She paused for a moment, then quickly disengaged and followed suit.

After a life-and-death struggle, Yue Lin finally slew this overlord-level mutant species, but he was also covered in wounds, his clothes torn more than half apart. Upon closer inspection, the corrosive poison gas of the mutant beast still lingered in his wounds, and even after drinking the Healing Potion, it was hard to recover in a short time.

Yue Lin gritted his teeth, wanting to rush to rendezvous with the team, but his steps were unsteady.

If another powerful mutant species came at this time, he would be in grave danger.

From the ruins ahead came hurried movements. The man’s expression turned cold, almost throwing out Ice Blade, but then he heard a familiar voice, "Young Master Yue Lin, are you alright!"

... It’s her again?

Yue Lin’s eyes widened in amazement, watching as the little female stumbled down from the ruins and ran to him, seeing him covered in injuries, she hurriedly said, "Young Master Yue Lin, you’re hurt, let me heal you."

Yue Lin pushed her away, extremely irritated, "Had enough? Stay away from me, don’t waste your efforts!"

Shen Tang was pushed back a few steps. She looked at him, angrily said, "I really want to heal you! I admit I was reckless last time, but I really just mistook you for someone else!"

"Mistook me for someone else? Do you even believe that excuse?" Yue Lin’s face grew even more disdainful, his gaze mocking.

Shen Tang looked him straight in the eye, neither humble nor overbearing, "I’m not lying to you. I really mistook you for a friend. He died in battle, so when I saw you on the street that day I was very surprised, you and he look... very much alike, almost identical. For a moment, I thought he had come back to life."

"I admit I approached you on purpose, but I had no intention of entangling with you. I just wanted to confirm if you were him."

Yue Lin’s expression remained indifferent, looking at her with contempt, his sneer growing, "You just have a pretty face, didn’t expect your heart to be dirty, full of lies. Is it fun to find such lousy excuses?"

Similar excuses he’s heard repeatedly since childhood, just fools trying to get close.

She went as far as to talk about resurrection, which was ridiculous and laughable!

Shen Tang angrily pulled a photo from Space and tossed it in front of him, "Take a good look! This is my friend’s son, do I have any reason to deceive you?"

Yue Lin frowned, his gaze involuntarily flicked to the photo.

But this glance left him momentarily stunned.

At first glance, he thought it was a photo of himself as a child.

Looking closely, there were indeed differences.

But undeniably, the little wolf cub in the photo looked very much like him as a child.

It made sense that this little wolf cub’s father also bore a resemblance to him.

So...

It was truly a misunderstanding?

Had he misunderstood her?

Shen Tang saw the man’s sharpness soften slightly, she rushed forward, attempting to gently hold his hand.

Yue Lin’s body stiffened, instinctively wanting to push her away, but he heard the female’s gentle voice, "Sorry for the abruptness. I have a Healing Ability, but it requires physical contact."

Before she finished speaking, a gentle, spring breeze-like light green energy emanated from her soft palm, halting Yue Lin’s resistance.

This warm and gentle force quickly dispelled the corrosive poison gas in his wounds, and within a few breaths, the scars healed completely.

Yue Lin’s deep black eyes suddenly widened, she truly had a superpower, not an ordinary person.

So not only did he misunderstand her, but she genuinely came to help, and wasn’t specifically following him.

Realizing all this, Yue Lin recalled his previous self-righteous words, a faint blush appeared on his cold face, not out of shyness, but of embarrassment.

He opened his mouth, but his pride made it difficult to apologize. Shen Tang didn’t mind either.

After healing his wound, she released her hold with due measure, looking at him gently, "Young Master Yue Lin, how do you feel? Is there anywhere else that needs healing?"

Yue Lin pursed his thin lips, rotated his wrist, and said awkwardly, "...Hmm, I’m fine now."

"That’s good!" Shen Tang sighed in relief, placing her hands behind her back, smiling as she looked up at him, "See? I told you I’m useful, right? Young Master Yue Lin, can I now follow you, this little waste?"

"..."

Yue Lin’s face grew more flushed, even his earlobes and neck turned red. He turned away, brushing past her, striding forward, "...If you want to follow, then catch up."
