Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 273 — Han Lilis
The gazes of Zhou Yuan and the running girl met, the girl was slightly surprised by Zhou Yuan's whereabouts but before reacting any further, her footsteps stumbled which made her fall hard.
The girl's head clashed with a rock underneath her that made her forehead bleed, her gaze becoming blurry before she lost consciousness.
"Eventually he stopped too, what do you think we should do to him?" One of the people chasing after the beast race human girl asked her companion.
"For now we treat him, look, his forehead is bleeding, lest he die before we take him to the boss." The other colleague licked his lips looking at the girl's body.
"Hm, he's still a teenager, will the boss accept him?"
"For now don't worry about it, whether it's accepted or not later that important we've got one, I'm sure the boss must accept it let alone she has a beautiful face..."
The girl from the animal human race that the two adult men were chasing was a half fox human, she had a sweet face with her fox ears and tail that looked cute and adorable.
One of them wanted to treat the girl's injuries with his inner strength but suddenly there was a foreign voice heard near their ears.
"What did you do, take him and make him a slave?" Ask Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan's sudden voice shocked the two adult men, their hearts pausing for a moment as they did not feel the air of his existence before the young man spoke.
"Who are you?" Asked one of them asking with a pale face.
Zhou Yuan did not respond to them but instead asked the same thing. "I heard you guys want to take this girl to your boss, what's your goal, sell it and make her a slave?"
Two grown men looked at each other before nodding simultaneously, "Young man, since you're here what if you want to be with me to the headquarters?"
Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"It's not an offer but a compulsion, you should come with me or..." One of them pulled out a tree on his waist and placed it near Zhou Yuan's neck. "Your head will probably float so follow us."
Zhou Yuan sighed, he asked them as he wanted to ascertain whether they were both criminal parts or not.
Zhou Yuan's hand moved swiftly holding the eye of the saber extended around his neck, the speed of Zhou Yuan's hand startled the two adult men, before they reacted Zhou Yuan had already moved his finger, smashed the machete's eyes to smithereens
The two adult men were shocked then took a few steps back with terrified expressions.
"You're a swordsman?!" Say both stammer.
"Go..."
Zhou Yuan said coldly, making the entire fur of the two adult men goosebumps violently. They tried to get up with all their might before limping away.
Zhou Yuan shook his head seeing the two grown men starting to leave from him, Zhou Yuan's gaze then fell towards the girl who tripped earlier.
"If you hadn't met me here maybe your fate would have been different today..." Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and then began to heal the wound that was on the girl's forehead.
***
Han Lilis is the name of the girl who was chased by two adult men earlier, she is a sweet woman with shoulder hair.
Han Lilis was around 16 years old, like the human race of animals in general, she had cute and moving fox ears and tails.
The girl also felt herself currently lying on the ground with leaves, a scented fragrance stinging from her sharp nose, as she looked around, looking up, the girl realized the scent came from the roasted deer that was burned on the fireplace.
The sound of his stomach suddenly ringing the scent of the deer, Han Lilis remembered tonight he had not had time to eat.
"You're sober?"
Han Lilis ears shook and was surprised when there was a sound, she only realized that there was someone sitting by the fireplace.
The girl's expression turned pale and frightened, she hurriedly got up from her lying position and tried to run but only two steps moved her body was already staggering and almost fell to the ground.
Zhou Yuan quickly caught the girl's body, "Don't move too much, your body's condition isn't stable yet..."
Zhou Yuan then positioned the girl to sit back down, "Don't worry, the two people who chased you earlier are gone, you're safe here." Zhou Yuan said so while smiling gently.
Han Lilis did not reply, he was still on guard at the surroundings while digesting the situation, he then only realized that Zhou Yuan's face was someone he had seen before unconscious.
"You want this venison?" Bargain Zhou Yuan, remembered the girl as if interested in her food earlier.
Han Lilis shook her head but the sound of her starving stomach had a different opinion. Zhou Yuan smiled faintly then gave the thighs of venison to the girl who was quite large in size.
Han Lilis received the meat with a hint of embarrassment, her sharp nose was so tempted after smelling the scent of the meat, although she initially hesitated a little to taste but in the end she started to dare to eat it.
Han Lilis eyes widened and was surprised by Zhou Yuan's cooking which turned out to be rich in spices, the girl's fox tail swayed showing her mood was happy.
Zhou Yuan shook his head looking at the girl's behavior, Han Lilis was so greedy to eat her flesh to the end.
"Thank you for helping me..." Finally the girl opened her voice to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan nodded slowly, "Sama-sama, introduce my name Zhou Yuan, you ran here because you were being chased by them, is there something?"
Before answering Han Lilis introduced her name first.
The girl then tells the chronology of the beginning she was chased by two adult men earlier, starting from her out of the village to look for a medicinal plant until accidentally meeting two adult men before.
Since the human race of animals had always been considered inferior by humans, the two adult men had intended to capture Han Lilis to become slaves. Han Lilis ran as hard as she could until she finally met Zhou Yuan here.
Hearing the story from Han Lilis, Zhou Yuan only responded with a long sigh.
Since long ago until now the relationship between humans and the animal human race has never had a good relationship, ordinary humans generally do not like the animal human race because they are considered a race of disability.
The animal human race always gets racism by the majority and if they meet the bad guys then the animal human race will be arrested to be used as slaves like this Han Lilis case.
Han Lilis looked on guard as she worried that the two men were returning, Zhou Yuan calmed down and explained that the two were safe at the moment.
"You'd better eat and sleep today, tomorrow I'll take you to your house."
Han Lilis seemed to think, he was worried that Zhou Yuan would do something when he fell asleep but after a second thought if Zhou Yuan had bad intentions, he had done so since then considering he was not a match for the young man.
