Chapter 1972 What Physique Is This? (1)
Boom!
A green flame swept out, and a figure appeared next to the queen.
The young girl below, upon seeing this figure appear, showed a delighted expression on her pretty face and was on the verge of shouting out.
But she realized she didn"t know the person"s name.
She couldn"t possibly call him "daddy", right?
That would be embarra.s.sing!
The snakemen queen squinted slightly when she saw w.a.n.g Teng"s silhouette. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
The other snakemen were also surprised but as they saw their queen being rescued, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"It"s you!"
Landon was stunned and speechless, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the person who had just appeared.
He couldn"t have imagined that he would encounter the one person he least wanted to see in this place.
He desperately wished this person was an imposter, but the unique green flame made him all too certain that the person before him was indeed the one he least wanted to see.
Divine flame!
Only a divine flame could destroy his Ash Flame easily.
b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
Why was this fellow here?
Landon felt like he was about to have a breakdown. His scalp tingled and his head was on the verge of exploding.
No one could understand his current state of mind.
What the f**k!
"Are you surprised? Are you shocked?" w.a.n.g Teng looked at him with a smile and asked.
Landon: …
Pleasantly surprised? More like surprised my foot!
Landon wanted to punch that smiling face when he saw it. He wanted to smash that face that he despised so much.
But he couldn"t do it. He just couldn"t.
This was infuriating!
"Brother w.a.n.g… w.a.n.g, why are you here?" Lan Deng forced a smile with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
He felt like he could salvage the situation. Although w.a.n.g Teng had intervened suddenly, it didn"t necessarily mean he was taking the snakemen"s side.
Maybe he just thought the queen was attractive and wanted to play the hero?
"I just happened to be pa.s.sing by," w.a.n.g Teng said with a grin.
"Well, what a coincidence!" Landon replied with a stiff smile.
"Our fate runs pretty deep, don"t you think?" w.a.n.g Teng said with a meaningful look.
Landon: …
What kind of fate is this? It feels more like a cursed fate.
(*^▽^*)
Little Qing"er wanted to laugh. The atmosphere was so serious, but that guy had managed to make it both funny and awkward.
"By the way, Brother Landon, what are you doing here?" w.a.n.g Teng asked, pretending to be curious.
"I"m not doing anything; I was just pa.s.sing by," Landon replied with a straight face.
"Aren"t you here to find the Azure Sea Pearl?" w.a.n.g Teng cut through his lie, grinning.
Landon: …
He knew, yet he still asked!
This jerk was indeed quite devious.
At this point, he was well aware that w.a.n.g Teng had likely been in the hall the entire time and had overheard his conversation with the snakemen queen.
But w.a.n.g Teng insisted on pretending he had just happened to pa.s.s by, which was incredibly infuriating.
What drove him to the brink of madness was that he almost believed it.
"Brother w.a.n.g, since you already know, why bother asking as if you didn"t?" Landon took a deep breath, wiping the smile off his face, and asked in a calm tone.
"Just wanted to confirm," w.a.n.g Teng said with a grin.
Landon found that every time he spoke with this guy, he couldn"t help but feel a surge of anger for no apparent reason. Taking another deep breath, he furrowed his brow and asked, "What do you want?"
"Brother Landon, can you tell me what purpose the Azure Sea Pearl has?" w.a.n.g Teng asked.
"I can"t tell you," Landon replied coldly.
"This isn"t right. Given our relations.h.i.+p, it"s heartbreaking that you won"t tell me," w.a.n.g Teng said, appearing genuinely saddened.
Landon felt the corners of his lips twitching.
What kind of relations.h.i.+p did they have?
It was more like a blood feud.
The Parkers family had been at odds with this guy for a long time, and as a member of the Parkers family, w.a.n.g Teng was unlikely to let him go.
However, for now, they hadn"t completely torn each other apart.
No!
It should be said that this guy was exceptionally good at putting on an act. He always had the appearance of harmlessness, yet no one knew if he would strike ruthlessly at any moment.
Even he felt pressurized when he was facing w.a.n.g Teng.
It was the pressure of encountering a formidable opponent.
His harmless facade seemed to pale in comparison to w.a.n.g Teng.
He had to admit that his acting wasn"t as good as w.a.n.g Teng"s.
"How about we work together to obtain the Azure Sea Pearl first, and then discuss the rest later?" Landon quickly changed the topic.
Little Qing"er"s expression tensed up.
Was he also here for the Azure Sea Pearl?
The other snakemen, who were unaware of w.a.n.g Teng"s ident.i.ty, thought of him as another extraterrestrial human with hidden intentions, and they watched him like hawks.
Even though he had just saved the queen, perhaps it was just a case of one dog biting another. No one knew if this person was an enemy or a friend.
They were extremely vigilant against the extraterrestrial humans.
On the other hand, the queen remained calm, giving a subtle signal to the other snakemen to wait and see how the situation unfolded.
"That idea… is not a good one," w.a.n.g Teng shook his head.
Landon remained expressionless, knowing that w.a.n.g Teng wouldn"t easily agree.
"I don"t even know the purpose of the Azure Sea Pearl, so why would I take it?" w.a.n.g Teng asked.
"I can only tell you that the Azure Sea Pearl is of great importance," Landon replied.
"Who knows if you"re trying to deceive me and use me as a tool," w.a.n.g Teng said with a nonchalant smile.
"In that case, please step aside. I"m taking the queen with me. Brother w.a.n.g, you shouldn"t be interested in the queen, right? I"ve heard some people have a thing for this type, could you be one of them?" Landon looked deeply at w.a.n.g Teng and suddenly smiled.
