Chapter 74: Meeting Thea Again

Lu Zheng did not speak any further.

Very skilfully, he undressed the weak Olina till she was completely bare from the waist up.

"W-What are you trying to do?" Olina's face was flushed. She had never been naked before a man before.

Despite the fact that she was almost without strength, she tried to pull away from Lu Zheng.

"Be calm" Lu Zheng muttered as a small dagger was withdrawn from his spatial ring.

"You… you're crazy!" Olina was too weak. She could only hurl insults at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng cut his palm open before leaving a gash between Olina's large melons.

He placed his bleeding palm on this cut and Vermillion Blood rushed into Olina's chest.

"Hmm" Olina moaned in pain.

"Quick, add your will into those droplets of blood in your chest" Lu Zheng ordered.

"Okay" Olina was now calm after she knew that Lu Zheng wasn't going to do her evil.

Although she didn't understand what was really going on, she still obeyed.

After a while, Olina made the droplets of blood under her control. She used them to make a few circulations round her body.

The pain on her chest had now disappeared. The ugly gash at the centre of her bosom was also closing up slowly.

"This… [gasps], a bloodline!" Olina exclaimed. Her skin was also gaining its natural colour slowly but the wound on her left arm was still the same.

While she was over joyous, she noticed a tent on Lu Zheng's trousers. Her face turned red again.

With a sigh, Lu Zheng said to her: "You should get your body to become more familiarised with the new blood. Your heart would soon start to produce the blood in small quantities. It might not heal you but you should not be expecting death soon"

"Okay" Olina muttered.

"What's the problem?" Lu Zheng asked.

Suddenly, Olina hugged him, planting a kiss on Lu Zheng's lips as the round orbs on her bosom flattened against his own chest.

"Thank you" Olina said with a vibrant smile.

Just as they were getting all lovey-dovey, the sound of running footsteps reached their ears.

During the race for their lives, Lu Zheng and Olina had landed in a forest.

For this reason, they couldn't see who was coming.

Olina quickly dressed herself as Lu Zheng unsheathed his sword.

After a few moments, a man and a woman entered their vision.

The man had yellow hair, large blue eyes and a pointed nose. He was dressed in blue robes.

The woman had long pink hair with blue eyes as clear as water. She was also short with a flat bosom and a very similar behind.

In other words, she was a loli.

"Hah? People, fellow humans. I'm Alexa North and this is Josh Grey. We're from Total Refinement Palace" Alexa said.

"You guys should follow us to the sanctuary. Weird short people have been chasing us" Josh said.

"Hmm. The rest of us have already grouped at the sanctuary. There are also some members of Blazing Flame Palace there" Alexa agreed.

Lu Zheng and Olina exchanged looks: "Lead us there"

Inside a short cave were a few people, just over thirty. Among them were Ele and Launi. They all wore grim expressions.

"Josh, Alexa, welcome back" A woman with long red hair said.

"Yeah, we have scanned the periphery, these should be the last batch of humans" Josh said.

"So what's the plan?" Alexa asked curiously.

"From what that midget woman said, there is a final layer in this realm. I think that if we can somehow trigger this layer to fall apart, we would be able to escape from those beasts" The red-haired woman said.

"Hopefully, those weird beasts would go away then" Alexa muttered.

"So how do you plan we trigger this layer to fall apart?" Olina asked.

The red-haired woman faltered but Lu Zheng suddenly spoke: "I can help with that"

"You can?" Olina and the red-haired woman blurted out at the same time.

"Hmm. I was the one who caused the previous layer to fall apart" Lu Zheng replied.

"Well then, speak. How can we do this?" The red-haired woman asked.

"We need to locate the centre of this layer. There should be a formation of some sorts there. When we get there, we would know what next to do" Lu Zheng said.

"The centre… I know where that is" A female suddenly said.

Lu Zheng felt the voice was familiar and when he turned to check the owner, he was surprised.

It was Thea, the woman Lu Zheng had run away from in the icy layer.

"Nice to meet you again, friend" Thea smiled in Lu Zheng's direction.

Lu Zheng suddenly felt like a million swords were infinitely close to cutting his skin.

~This sword intent again~

A faint nearly invisible layer of wind formed on Lu Zheng's skin and immediately, the sword intent vanished.

"Hmm?" Thea's eyes sparkled as she regarded Lu Zheng in amusement.

"Where is the centre?" Alexa asked.

"It's not too far from here. It's a large mountain the shape of a skull. That was where I spawned in this layer" Thea responded, her face outlined with visible fear.

The others noticed that Thea must have seen something scary.

"The Supreme Lord of the Jin-Jin Clan" Lu Zheng guessed inwardly. "Only the Supreme Lord can petrify anyone by just staring at them"

"That decides it" The red-haired woman announced, ignoring the trepidation on Thea's face. "We humans will attack the centre of this layer and escape to the final layer of this realm"
