Chapter 28: Threat

() Chapter 28 Threat

Li Bucai sat there quietly, his gaze passing through the lower rim of his helmet to watch him.

Pu Fengtian, as if no one were there, held the horse reins in one hand, while his other hand constantly kneaded the chest of the girl ahead, occasionally pressing his blood‑filled gaping mouth against her neck, leaving red and purple patches on her; she was dazed all the way, constantly sighing, not knowing whether it was pain or pleasure.

He kept riding to the pond, then forcefully kissed her vermilion lips, like cradling a chick, lifted the two girls from the horse onto the ground, then jumped off the horse, flicked the reins, tossed them into the hands of the girl behind, who led them into the woods for grazing. The other girl, her face flushed, covered her enormous exposed breasts with the lapel of her clothing, tidied her garments, went to the pond to wash her face, extinguishing the burning spring passion, then skillfully took out various cooking utensils from her clothes, began fetching water and brewing tea…

Pu Fengtian walked over to Li Bucai and asked, "Are you… the Light Rod Commander?"

Li Bucai gave a faint smile and tucked the secret manual of "Wind‑Assault Stab" into his pack.

Pu Fengtian said again, "Where are your people?"

Li Bucai pointed to the forest behind him, but before he could speak, Pu Fengtian laughed, "Hahaha, dead, I guess they must have run into ants."

Oh damn, what kind of person is this, taking pleasure in others' deaths? Li Bucai gave another smile, too lazy to answer.

Pu Fengtian, ignoring Li Bucai's intent, grinned ferociously, "Only after coming here did I realize that having a beauty by my side who never leaves, letting me do whatever I want, is such a wonderful thing, don't you agree, friend?"

Li Bucai greatly disliked his gaze; it was the kind of peculiar look only seen in movies, as if his cultivation had gone awry, exuding an evil aura, his tongue always like a snake's tongue, licking his lips after each sentence, and his voice was also a weird yin‑yang tone.

"Forget introductions, I am Pu Fengtian, from the northeast corner of the continent; the second Territory westward is mine. And you, what do you call yourself?"

Having already announced his affiliation, out of courtesy Li Bucai could only reply, "Territory No. 9527, Li Bucai."

Pu Fengtian, as if very familiar with him, plopped onto the sand mound beside him, suddenly pointing at the busy girl over there, "Take a look at my two servants, brother, do you think they count as beauties?"

Although bored, Li Bucai still nodded. The two girls had superb figures, dressed seductively, indeed the kind of top‑class, ultra‑sexy women, but they were not Li Bucai's type; he preferred demure beauties, or less flamboyant ones, favoring a vague elegance rather than this blatant display.

Pu Fengtian laughed loudly, "These days, if it weren't for these two beauties, I honestly don't know if I could have made it this far. Good things should be shared by everyone. Since you also think they are beauties, how about this: when we leave Luo Ping Hai, I'll give them to you, brother?"

Damn, they're wilted flowers and broken willows, yet he plans to give them away—does he have some ulterior motive? Li Bucai said calmly, "How dare you take what my brother loves."

"Eh? Whether to take or not, the people of Sky City rightfully belong to all of us. I know you resent that they've all been with me. Hahaha, but you must remember the maxim: domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild ones."

Li Bucai replied, "You must also remember that only domestic flowers are willing to risk life and death for you at critical moments. It's clear these two have noble blood; such people are still few, each person holds at most four. I don't think, brother, you'll let go so easily. What is your destination?"

"Just a few girls, let's be blunt—one word: do you want them or not?"

Since it was their first meeting, his behavior was highly unreasonable, even becoming aggressively demanding. Li Bucai, too lazy to engage further, coldly replied, "Better you keep them and enjoy them slowly."

Pu Fengtian suddenly threw his head back and laughed, "Hahaha, I give you these two beautiful girls and you refuse? Whether you want them is your problem, but as a favor, I give you a foot, you owe me a yard. I give you two, you should return me four."

Damn, this guy has been made brain‑dead by the two beauties, or… he's just a bad person.

"Are you here to pick a fight?"

"No, you're wrong. I'm here to warn you, not to pick a fight. You now owe me four beauties, and I hope that when I return to my Territory, you will have sent those four delicate maidens to my Territory, because that would please me. Otherwise, I will have to fetch them myself; that's not impossible, but then it won't be just four. Think carefully: will you send them, or will I go fetch them personally? If I go fetch them, you'd better prepare a few more, otherwise, if I'm in a bad mood, you might disappear from here forever."

If the great war weren't imminent, Li Bucai would truly want to rush forward and give him a proper lesson. This damned ruler, though he commands a hundred responses with a single call, still cannot act on a whim; he must always consider the greater picture. In the past, anyone who dared to challenge him so brazenly would have been dealt with in a flash. Now, with many of his own men and his opponent's forces, he doesn't want to be accused of overwhelming the few. He placed his hand on his battle rifle, clenched his teeth; this time he came to rescue people, and after the rescue he will discuss matters properly.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you."

Pu Fengtian sneered, "Heh heh heh heh, fine then, we have an agreement; I will definitely fetch them on the day we leave Luo Ping Hai."

After speaking, he returned to his lodging and gave a hard squeeze to the plump, round hips of the girl busy brewing tea; the girl instantly let out a painful scream, and before the sound faded, she was abruptly pulled into his arms, he ravaged her delicate body while staring at Li Bucai with an evil gaze.

At this moment, Wu Zhuoran and others returned from the forest with dry firewood. Pu Fengtian suddenly fixed his ever‑hungry gaze on Wu Zhuoran's face, stared for a long while, then abruptly flung the bruised girl from his arms, licking his greedy tongue…

Wu Zhuoran noticed Li Bucai's changed complexion and asked, "Lord, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing. That guy over there will eventually turn into an uncontrollable lecher. Keep an eye on him these days; if anyone dares to approach any of us, report to me immediately." Li Bucai thought to himself: If you dare lay a hand on my people here, I'll consider it a military‑law offense and it won't end with you.

Wu Zhuoran glanced over there; at that moment Pu Fengtian was already captivated by her beauty, his eyes fixed on her like a demon. She suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, and the lecherous face of her former master Qian Feng flashed in her mind. Compared to that, the man before her evoked even more disgust; Qian Feng was merely lewd, whereas this man's gaze radiated an evil aura that sent chills down her spine.
