Chapter 301.2: A Person Impossible to Forget

At that same moment, Meatball was also slowly turning back into the tiny ball that it was originally. As it sat there with its head lowered while licking its paws, a long slender arm suddenly stretched out to scoop it up, scaring the little beast so much that the fur on its body bristled immediately, it large azure eyes wide as it stared at the man in surprise.

Lou Jun Yao then seemed to crook up a corner of his lips faintly in a smile, and then stroked the soft fur on the back of the little fella’s neck as he said: “That must have been rather hard on you.”

The soft tender voice and the gentle action of his hand actually came to make the little beast feel a little fl.u.s.tered, completely forgetting to slash this human with a vicious claw that had come to touch its body without seeking its permission.

Aside from Mother, it had not really liked even Qing Bei whom it saw day in day out to get too close to it. It was only for Mother’s sake that it had allowed him to touch and carry it occasionally.

But this man…..

Strangely….. It was not feeling repulsive?

Could it be because….. That it could detect a sliver of Mother’s scent on this man?

After everyone from the Dark Lands were seen to have made it safely across the iron chain bridge, all the other people would naturally not want to fall behind and they immediately wanted to follow suit.

Just as about half of them managed to make it across, for some unknown reason, the strange birds that had lined themselves to become an extension of the bridge suddenly turned wild and flapped their wide wings violently, which caused a number of people standing on their backs to fall over.

And when those people went plummeting down into the deep chasm, the strange birds at the bottom immediately surged straight towards them in flocks. The very next instant, the stench of blood could be smelled in the air, and there was no sign of those people who fell over anywhere left to see.

It was only because they had been intimidated by the Dark Phantasm Cat that those birds had been so docile.

And by that time, Lou Jun Yao had already walked a great distance away with the little beast held in his arms, so those strange birds had naturally started to stir, seeking to vent out the rage held inside upon these remaining people.

The people who were fortunate enough to make it across could do nothing but watch on with horror, their faces turned pale as they witnessed the brutal carnage, feeling utterly helpless.

They should have expected that would happen. The Mind Free Peak was not a place that any ordinary person could come to. Somebody would have to pay the price, even to the extent of giving up their lives, to end up becoming the stepping stone for others.

Everything that happened here, was being observed by someone.

The woman who had been lounging lazily in her chair had suddenly seen something, which caused her silver irises to flare slightly, as her body slowly straightened up in her seat.

She got up slowly and took a couple of steps forward, watching the familiar figure that had appeared on the enormous screen before her, caught in an entranced daze, like her mind had drifted away to some long and far distant memory.
