Chapter 32: I Didn't Expect You to Have This Kind of Fetish?
Hearing Tang Yurou's words, Zhou Han didn't get angry—instead, he felt a bit speechless.
This little girl was way too dramatic!
"Is that so? That's all? Then it's time to end this!"
Zhou Han remained unmoved and said calmly.
"You… what?"
Tang Yurou was just about to mock him, but her expression suddenly changed drastically.
She was so shocked that she couldn't even speak, completely unprepared for this outcome.
At that moment, the Frost Greatsword had been knocked flying dozens of meters away.
If it wanted to return to the battlefield, it would take quite some time.
Tang Yurou still didn't understand what had happened—the situation had reversed instantly.
Zhou Han, of course, knew the reason behind all this.
It was because Cross Slash had triggered a knockback effect.
In an instant, there was nothing left blocking him.
And he wasn't about to miss such an opportunity.
He activated his leap skill and arrived directly in front of Tang Yurou.
Tang Yurou's face turned pale with fright. In her panic, she quickly condensed a water sphere,
trying to envelop Zhou Han as a last desperate struggle.
"Bang!"
Before the water sphere could fully form,
Zhou Han smashed it apart with a single slap.
Her final counterattack turned into nothing. The outcome was already decided.
"My god! This strength is way too terrifying!"
"Why are we both players, yet I feel like I'm in a completely different dimension from him?"
At the side, Qin Mengyao went from initial nervousness, to joy as Zhou Han gained the upper hand,
to complete shock—he had defeated his opponent in just a few seconds.
Her eyes rippled as she looked at Zhou Han, both shy and delighted.
"So? Still want to resist? With your amateur skills, go train for a few more years!"
Zhou Han pressed the edge of his sword against Tang Yurou's throat, a smug look on his face.
Wasn't this little girl acting all arrogant just now?
Tang Yurou was filled with anger, but with the sword at her neck,
she didn't dare act recklessly.
Though she refused to admit defeat on the surface, deep down she had already started to falter.
"Let's go! Come back with me now!"
Zhou Han didn't waste words and got straight to the point.
After all, the time left on his experience buff wasn't much.
"Dream on if you think I'll go back! I refuse!"
Tang Yurou's stubborn streak flared up. She turned her head away, ignoring Zhou Han.
In truth, if Zhou Han had spoken gently and given her a way out, she wouldn't have refused.
But right now, his sword was still pointed at her—this was clearly coercion.
She felt utterly humiliated, like a captive.
Her pride made her refuse no matter what.
"Not going, huh? Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"
Zhou Han's face turned cold as he put on a fierce expression, hoping to scare her.
"Fine! Do whatever you want—kill or torture me, I don't care!"
Tang Yurou remained unmoved, showing no fear at all.
Zhou Han was speechless. He suddenly had no way to deal with her.
He couldn't really kill her, could he?
Seeing Zhou Han at a loss, a smug smile appeared on Tang Yurou's face.
Hmph! Weren't you so fierce just now?
Now you can't do anything to me—let's see what you do.
"Fine, you forced me. Don't blame me for using some despicable methods!"
Zhou Han finally came up with an idea, a wicked grin appearing on his face.
"Y-you… what are you trying to do?"
Seeing the lewd look in Zhou Han's eyes, Tang Yurou started to panic.
He couldn't be planning to do that, right?
She was still a pure maiden!
Just as she was thinking that, her worst fear came true.
"Ah! You, you…"
Tang Yurou felt her chest being poked by Zhou Han's sword.
Although it didn't cause any damage, the sensation made her body go numb.
She immediately felt both embarrassed and angry, her watery eyes brimming with tears.
"Um… if I said that was an accident, would you believe me?"
Zhou Han awkwardly withdrew his sword and said with an embarrassed smile.
He had originally intended to use the sword to cut off a button from her chest area, just to scare her.
But for some reason, his hand trembled.
He swore to heaven, Zhou Han really hadn't done it on purpose—he wouldn't do something so beastly.
Even Qin Mengyao, who was standing nearby, felt a chill at her own chest.
My god, that was a sharp weapon!
If it had really stabbed her, how painful would it be?
Her gaze toward Zhou Han immediately became strange. Could he have some kind of special fetish?
She subconsciously stepped farther away from him, fear rising in her heart.
The gratitude and goodwill from him saving her life instantly vanished.
Now she only had one thought—to get away from Zhou Han.
"Alright, move it! If you don't, I've got even harsher methods waiting!"
Seeing that he couldn't explain it clearly, Zhou Han gave up explaining and said fiercely.
Right now, completing the task was the most important thing.
Even if others saw him as a villain or a weirdo, so what?
Improving his strength was all that mattered.
After this incident, Tang Yurou was clearly frightened and became much more obedient.
She followed Zhou Han toward the exit of Undead Canyon.
"Um… Zhou Han, I-I'll be going now?"
After exiting the Nether Swamp, Qin Mengyao spoke from about four or five meters away,
her expression timid and pitiful.
She was afraid Zhou Han wouldn't let her leave. If she had to stay by his side,
and deal with perverted things every day, that would be terrible.
Clearly, she was overthinking it. Zhou Han had no intention of keeping her.
"Go on, go on!"
He waved his hand, completely indifferent.
Qin Mengyao let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Zhou Han's unconcerned attitude,
she felt both fortunate—and a little disappointed.
The two didn't speak much along the way.
Tang Yurou, due to fear and anger, didn't want to talk to Zhou Han.
Zhou Han was happy with the silence. After all, she was just an NPC—even if she was a beauty.
He had no interest in getting to know her further.
Soon, in silence, they passed through the portal at the exit.
"Xiaorou! You're finally back! Grandpa was worried sick!"
Seeing the portal flash with light, the old man said excitedly.
"Grandpa, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so playful!"
Tang Yurou lowered her head and spoke obediently, no longer as willful as before.
"Young man, thank you so much! Truly, a hero emerges from youth!"
The old man bowed gratefully to Zhou Han and praised him.
"You're too kind, sir. It was just a small effort. No need for such courtesy!"
Zhou Han quickly replied.
However, he felt a bit puzzled. Since he had brought Tang Yurou back,
why hadn't the system notified him that the mission was complete?
Could it be a bug?
"System, are you still there? Is there a bug?"
[The auxiliary system of the Divine Demon Continent will never have bugs. Please carefully read the mission description.]
Mission Description: Rescue Xiaorou, and bring her to her grandfather.
Zhou Han immediately began analyzing.
It was divided into two parts: first, rescue Xiaorou; second, bring her to her grandfather.
