Chapter 139

Ka'er set up his sniper rifle on the top floor of an abandoned high-rise building and adjusted the scope, still in his usual lazy and uninhibited manner. Urging voices kept coming from his communicator, "Scavenger No. 13, the target is in the bridge hole, prepare to shoot."

Fifteen minutes ago, he received an emergency mission from the Scavengers, claiming that they had located the long-missing target through mental power positioning.

Ka'er chewed gum and aimed the scope at the distant bridge hole. After searching for a few seconds, a teenager appeared in his field of vision, currently with his back to his direction, talking to someone else.

"Received. Target found."

Ka'er replied, and just as he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly saw the teenager's figure tilt, revealing the other person's face. Ka'er's hand trembled, he looked up sharply toward the bridge hole, and immediately looked through the scope nervously.

Qiao Suisui and Anubis were standing together, shoulder to shoulder, wanting to walk out of the bridge hole. They seemed to be discussing something, but Anubis kept talking, and Qiao Suisui only replied occasionally. Ka'er could see the anxious and worried expression on the teenager's face, who was arguing, while Qiao Suisui looked firm.

The voice in the communicator sounded again, appearing more urgent, "Scavenger No. 13, time is running out, shoot quickly!"

Ka'er's finger was on the trigger, but he didn't pull it for a long time. His gaze was locked on Qiao Suisui, confirming again and again that he wasn't seeing things.

Just then, Qiao Suisui seemed to be impatient with the teenager's nagging. She suddenly hooked the other's belt and pulled him toward her, then stood on tiptoe, stopping just a few millimeters from Anubis's lips.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, Ka'er's heart shrank, and his finger froze on the trigger.

"Scavenger No. 13! What are you doing? Shoot!" The voice in the communicator was about to explode.

However, Ka'er seemed unaware, staring dead at the scene in the scope, frozen in place.

Inside the bridge hole.

Anubis's body shook violently, his back stiff. His heart beat violently, his cheeks were visibly flushed, and his breathing became rapid.

His hands were frozen in mid-air, as if holding her in the void. He felt his face burning, forgot everything he wanted to say, his mind went blank, leaving only that indescribable palpitation and the softness that could be touched just by lowering his head.

Qiao Suisui's long hair was blown by the wind, brushing against his chest. She landed on her heels, let go of his belt, looked up at the stunned teenager, and threatened, "I have already decided to find evidence to prove the innocence of the Rebel Army. If you try to persuade me again, I will kiss you."

Just now, Anubis had been trying to get her to stay out of the Rebel Army's business. She knew he was afraid she would be implicated and fall into danger.

Anubis's heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest. He tried hard to calm himself, but the blush on his face betrayed his inner panic and excitement.

"You, you can't do that."

Qiao Suisui teased him, "Do what?"

Anubis's chest heaved, looking at her with a frown, his face serious: "If it were someone else, would you also use this method to make them compromise..." He felt his heart, which had fallen into a honey pot, fall into an oil pan as he said this.

Qiao Suisui stifled a laugh and said deliberately, "Yeah, it works very well, doesn't it? Look, you can't speak now."

Anubis lowered his eyes and stared at her, his hot gaze wandering over her lips. "Who else have you done this to?"

Qiao Suisui smiled and said, "This trick only works on you... Mmph!"

Before she could finish, her chin was gently held by the teenager's powerful hand, and her lips were gently sealed.

Anubis closed his eyes, lowered his head, and gently sucked on her lips. Seeming unsatisfied, he licked the tip of her tongue like a puppy. His movements were clearly green and shy, yet carried a posture of possession and protection, grinding her lips with his teeth one by one.

Qiao Suisui didn't expect him to be serious, her legs went soft from the kiss, and she supported herself on his solid chest, wanting to push him away, but had no strength. But Anubis noticed her slight push and immediately let her go, carefully observing her expression, afraid she would be unhappy.

Just the moment after they separated, with a "bang," a bullet grazed past. However, the sight was slightly off, the bullet grazing Anubis's neck, taking away a strand of blood, but not fatal.

Anubis's first reaction was to protect Qiao Suisui behind him. He quickly looked in the direction the bullet was fired, which was the top floor of a distant high-rise building.

"They're here." Anubis gripped her hand tightly and quickly protected her to find cover.

He let Qiao Suisui squat behind a discarded large aluminum can, which was a blind spot for the sniper.

"Their target is me, I'll go and lure them away, you take the opportunity to leave quickly."

Qiao Suisui grabbed his wrist and said, "Come with me to the Ausilan Huangting, it's at least safe there."

Anubis shook his head, "I've already been exposed. If I go to the Huangting with you, it will bring you trouble."

She wanted to say something else, but her mouth was quickly kissed by Anubis.

"Qiao, I like you. I liked you since you pretended to be a male."

The sudden confession left Qiao Suisui stunned.

"Listen to me this time, okay?" He gently stroked her cheek, his eyes full of tenderness. "Trust me, this is safer for you."

Qiao Suisui met Anubis's sincere eyes and had to nod. "Then let's meet at the Southern Battlefield."

Anubis didn't want her to go to the Southern Battlefield, but there was clearly no time to discuss it anymore. He looked at her deeply, then took something out of his pocket and placed it in her palm, squeezed her hand hard, and then turned and ran out of the bridge hole at a very fast speed.

Not until his figure could no longer be seen did Qiao Suisui withdraw her gaze. She opened her palm and saw a wolf tooth necklace strung with colorful braided rope in her hand.

She touched the wolf tooth and was in a daze for a while, when suddenly, a figure cast a shadow from above her head.

Qiao Suisui looked up defensively, but was stunned after seeing the other person. "Ka'er, why are you here?"

The man was wearing a black shirt, the X-shaped gun harness clinging tightly to his body, outlining his chest, appearing particularly handsome and upright. He looked gloomy, bit off his gloves, revealed his slender and powerful hands, and took the wolf tooth from her hand directly.

Ka'er sneered, picking up the wolf tooth necklace with one finger, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. He stared at Qiao Suisui and asked, "He even gave you this thing? It seems you two haven't known each other for just one or two days, right?"

Qiao Suisui was confused, "Is this a very valuable thing?"

In the interstellar, wolf beastmen are not a group with many offspring, and are even on the verge of extinction. It was precisely to pass on the spirit of the wolf clan that they continued the traditional king-making ceremony. Whoever defeats the Wolf King will become the new Wolf King of the clan. And the wolf tooth is the proof of status.

The outside world only knew that Dante Connor was brave, was the captain of the former Federal elite troops, and was the leader of the Rebel Army, with powerful strength. But they didn't know that he had long been defeated by the son he had personally trained. He followed tradition and gave the sharpest tooth from his beast form to Anubis, indicating his abdication and also symbolizing the succession of the new Wolf King.

Anubis gave the symbol of his Wolf King status to Qiao Suisui, representing a kind of recognition.

A wolf is loyal to only one partner in its life.

Ka'er knew the meaning of this wolf tooth very well, but he didn't want to say anything to Qiao Suisui.
