Chapter 634: The Benevolent Person

It was not good. This bull seemed to understand nothing of human speech. The young lady had to dodge again, but this time her luck ran out. Her arm was grazed by the bull’s horn, leaving a trail of blood on her fair skin. Soon, thin streaks of blood seeped through.

Just as the young lady narrowly dodged the strange giant bull, a loud voice suddenly echoed from afar.

“Wicked beast, do not harm anyone!” A large man wearing coarse clothes rushed over, stepping heavily.

He wielded a thick spear, swinging it in a half-circle through the air. With a stomp of his foot, he whipped the spear at the giant bull like a whip.

Though his technique appeared crude, it was remarkably precise. With a loud crack, it sounded like a thunderclap in the sky, and the giant bull’s one eye was gouged out.

In pain, the bull became even more enraged, charging forward despite its blindness.

“Evil beast, you still haven’t learned your lesson!” The large man shouted again, preparing another strike.

Watching the man and the bull exchanging blows fiercely, their movements vigorous and powerful, with shockwaves scattering debris, the young lady could only hide behind the persimmon tree to avoid being hit.

As she observed closely, information about the giant bull appeared in her vision.

【Ling Ling】

Species: Bull-type monster

Status: Injured (one eye lost)

Sequence: Dragon Sequence 3 · Min Ze Ling Bull

Talent: [Worship Water] (Rare): When there is abundant water vapor within tens of miles, it can accumulate and cause flooding. (No water, cannot draw water)

Skill: [Brute Force] (Excellent): Possesses formidable strength, few creatures in the same rank can match it, but its methods are rather simplistic.

Skill: [Charge] (Ordinary): Kills enemies using horns and brute force. One-dimensional but lethal if blocked.

The young lady carefully read the description on the virtual screen. It meant that this bull could only cause floods when there was sufficient water vapor; otherwise, it was basically useless. It seemed to be something that could only enhance an already favorable situation, not help in dire straits.

Before she could even check on the large man, the battle ended.

The burly man let out a shout, thrusting his spear into the giant bull’s heart, then pulling it out. The bull took a few steps before lying down slowly.

“Huh,” he gathered himself and exhaled slowly, then turned around.

“Are you alright?”

Only then did he have the leisure to examine the young lady closely.

Her long black hair was simply tied back, cascading over her pure white dress. Her serene face and gentle brows made her appear like a celestial being from a painting.

“Are you well?” His tone became respectful. He felt such a young lady must come from a distinguished background, perhaps even royalty. And her composed demeanor certainly wasn’t something a common household could cultivate.

Oddly enough, he usually avoided these noble offspring, but today he didn’t feel any animosity towards her.

“Yes, I’m fine, thank you.” The young lady stepped out from behind the tree, bowing slightly.

Regardless, she needed to express her gratitude.

Seeing her bow, the burly man felt somewhat embarrassed. Though he had some skills, he was just a commoner. Those nobles would probably only give verbal thanks and wouldn’t bow.

To them, those who could make people willingly submit were likely only parents, teachers, or superiors.

After a brief greeting, they began talking.

“Miss, did you get separated from your family? This place isn’t very safe.”

“Family?” A few blurry images flashed in her mind, but the clearest one was of a girl about her age, with fiery eyes and hair, seemingly always asleep.

“I can’t remember much. When I woke up, I found myself in the mountains,” the young lady admitted honestly.

“Ah, I see.” The burly man wasn’t particularly sharp. After pondering for a while, he couldn’t think of anything and gave up.

“It might have been from a fall. Some children lose their souls after falling off cliffs. Later, they’re cured by those who practice the Nine Yin Path,” he shared his knowledge.

“What is the Nine Yin Path?” she asked curiously.

“Well, it’s not common. Practitioners aren’t highly regarded,” the burly man explained.

“In short, they are skilled at summoning spirits and controlling corpses, which can be quite frightening.”

“I see…” Although she hadn’t seen it herself, she felt oddly familiar with it, almost as if she had encountered it before.

Strange, did she practice this path before losing her memory?

Gulp—

As the young lady pondered, a rumbling sound came from her stomach. She looked up to find the burly man turning away, a bit embarrassed.

She chuckled softly but restrained herself. Returning to the persimmon tree, she said to him, “Do you want to rest? I’m hungry too.”

“Then I’ll accept your offer graciously.”

The burly man, seeing her smiling, thought she might become a national beauty in a few years. Even the immortals on the Yellow Sea Mountains might fall for her.

But he knew better than to harbor any ill intentions. Besides, he was no longer young.

They sat a few meters apart, eating persimmons and chatting.

“Miss, do you remember your name?” the burly man asked.

“Not quite clear,” she pressed her forehead in frustration. After a moment, she muttered the familiar syllables.

“Lolan Xi.” It seemed right, yet not entirely, as if there were other parts missing.

“Is your surname Lolan?”

The burly man was surprised. This surname was uncommon, likely belonging to a branch of the royal family. During the founding of the dynasty, several princes were given this surname, and the current capital of the House of Plantagenet, Luo Capital, bore the same name, indicating its prestige.

Commoners who dared to impersonate such a royal surname faced execution.

“Do you know your origins?” he followed up.

“I can’t recall at the moment,” she said after recalling some fragmented memories, but still couldn’t piece together a complete past.

“Then it’s complicated,” he told her what he knew.

“So if I can’t prove my identity and claim to be surnamed Lolan, I might be arrested?” she asked, surprised.

“Yes, because it’s a royal surname, it can’t be used frivolously.”
