Chapter 808 - 651: Do You Really Think She Loves You?
On the outskirts of the Moon Wolf Royal City, there’s an area set apart with an estate inside. It’s a villa four or five stories high, with a spacious courtyard. Its architectural style is classic European, looking very grand and exuding nobility.
At the gate, several Beastmen responsible for cleaning saw the silver-haired young man approaching from a distance, and they immediately greeted him respectfully, "Young Master Yue Lin, you’re back."
Yue Lin responded with a sound, "Mm, prepare two rooms; we have guests staying."
"Understood, Young Master."
They hurried to make preparations.
Yue Lin turned to Shen Tang, "Follow me, this is my place, no need to be nervous."
Shen Tang looked at the imposing estate before her, nodded, and followed him through the gate.
Such places are usually private residences specifically built by Beastmen of status in the city, enclosed and guarded, not allowing outsiders to enter or leave freely, making it a relatively safe enclosed area.
Inside the bedroom.
Jin lay unconscious on the bed, with the bloodstains on his body already cleaned and his torn clothes changed.
Shen Tang had already treated him, and the superficial wounds had all healed. However, the battle had drained him too much, and his body was completely exhausted and depleted, so he hadn’t woken up yet.
Nevertheless, since his bodily functions had returned to normal, with some good rest, it’s expected he’ll wake up in a couple of days.
Shen Tang sat by the bedside, holding his hand and gently placing it against her face, her eyes filled with worry and the relief of surviving a disaster, her voice tender, "Ah Jin, please wake up... "
Sigh.
He truly is a disaster-prone leopard.
He’s the one she worries about the most.
When Yue Lin walked over and saw this scene, he couldn’t help but pause at the doorway for a moment. A shadow flickered in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
He walked closer and said, "Don’t worry too much, his body is no longer in danger. It shouldn’t be long before he wakes."
Shen Tang nodded, her gaze a bit complicated when she looked at the silver-haired young man, "Young Master Yue Lin, thank you... You’ve helped us a great deal this time. If there’s anything I can do for you in the future, I will do my utmost to help!"
Yue Lin, gazing into the clear and enchanting eyes of the female, ultimately held back what he wanted to say, instead offering a faint smile, "Then it’s a deal. Don’t have me unable to find you when the time comes."
Shen Tang lightly coughed awkwardly, "I’m sorry for leaving without saying goodbye last time. At that moment, the situation was really..."
Yue Lin interrupted her explanation, "It’s alright, it was my fault for trying to keep you, I was too impulsive then, it’s not your fault."
His words only made her feel more guilty.
Even if nothing could happen between them, one couldn’t deny Yue Lin’s loyalty towards her, and yet she never regarded him as a friend, which felt a bit hurtful upon reflection.
Shen Tang continued, "But this time, the commotion caused by the lab seems significant. The Hunting Leopard Clan will certainly investigate rigorously, possibly implicating you."
"Once Jin’s condition improves, we’ll leave immediately."
As the Young Master of the Moon Wolf Clan, Yue Lin should not have been caught up in this matter, especially since it did not concern him in the first place. If the harboring of fugitives were to be discovered, not only would it damage his reputation, it could also worsen relations between the two clans.
Shen Tang did not want to drag him into this; that would be rather shameless.
Yue Lin frowned slightly, looking at her with a worried gaze, his voice lowered, "You know, there’s a manhunt for you everywhere. They’re not just searching extensively in the Purification Zone, but have also issued high bounties in the Wasteland Zone."
"That’s a place where people would kill for money. If someone identifies you, it will be very dangerous."
These words directly blocked Shen Tang’s retreat.
Originally, she intended to retreat to the Wasteland Zone, but now it seemed unsafe.
Yue Lin’s clear and cold voice softened, "You don’t have to be so distant with me. I won’t force you to accept my feelings, but you can treat me as a friend."
"When a friend is in trouble, naturally I will help. Now the situation outside is tense; if you trust me, you should stay here with Shou Jin."
"This place is secluded, the environment is good, and it is equipped with specialized medical equipment, making it better for him to recover than the Wasteland Zone."
Shen Tang was persuaded by his words and couldn’t find a reason to refuse.
"Then... I’ll trouble the Young Master."
Shen Tang initially thought of giving a return gift, but considering the supplies in her Space, they probably wouldn’t be of interest to the Young Master of the Moon Clan; it felt somewhat inadequate!
Seeing her slightly embarrassed expression, Yue Lin’s cold and stern face showed a hint of a smile, "Don’t overthink it, just settle in comfortably. It’s just adding a couple more pairs of chopsticks, and this place can become more lively."
This villa was purchased by Yue Lin in his early years, and he would only occasionally stay for a couple of days during his leisure time. Normally, it was rather desolate. Apart from their routine cleaning, the attendants almost had nothing to do, so they were quite happy for them to stay a few more days.
