Chapter 202: The Cabin
"It's simple. As long as you come with us, you'll naturally find out what you want to know!" The Muscular Man was straightforward, continuing to entice me with this matter.
Could they really have clues about my dad? I suspiciously watched the movements of the person in front of me, while my mind was racing to think of ways to make them reveal any information about my dad or at least provide a chance to find a clue.
After exchanging blows, we both took a step back. At that moment, I saw him reach into his pocket. I watched him warily, wondering if this Black Tortoise intended to pull a gun. Just then, he actually pulled something out—a photograph? He held it up in front of his chest and smiled as he asked me, "You must be familiar with this, right?"
Since we weren't far apart, I squinted to take a closer look and saw that there was only one person in the photo. That person stood in front of a modern house, surrounded by trees that had lost their leaves, with a thin layer of ice and snow covering the ground. The person's expression was serious, and there were many gray strands in his hair. Despite this, I recognized him almost instantly; the man in the photo was my dad! Moreover, this photo had definitely been taken not long ago!
Just as I was staring blankly at it, a sudden sharp pain pierced through my chest. I couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as my mind cleared for an instant. I looked down to see a sharp dagger embedded in my chest, bright red blood flowing along the blade. In an instant, the fabric around the dagger was stained with large patches of red.
I glared angrily at the grinning Muscular Man in front of me and coldly asked, "Where is he?!". I squinted my eyes, wanting nothing more than to make this man confess immediately!
"Same old story," the Muscular Man said with an infuriating smile. His arrogant demeanor clearly indicated that there was no other option besides this one!
Going back with them was absolutely out of the question! Under normal circumstances, I might have gone without hesitation, but… when faced with familial ties and even deeper friendships, it was incredibly difficult for me to make a decision.
I had never felt that choices could be so hard. One was my father who raised me; the other was my lifesaver and dear friend who had pulled me back from death multiple times. I truly couldn't bear to watch him go to his death! If he really died, would we still be around when the next resurrection came?
At that time, would that Lemon be left all alone again?
If I were to be reborn and remember everything from this life only to find that all my familiar relatives, lovers, and friends were gone—never to return—such a life was something I couldn't even dare to imagine; it would be so lonely and terrifying!
"Didn’t you just call out pretty happily? Why are you acting like a dog now? You can't take a hit at all!" Xianxian's words snapped me back to reality. I smiled at him and looked at Xianxian, Wang Yi, and Pei Zi; it felt like this was my real life! If there were no more of them in my life—no more dad or anyone else from The League of Shadows including my friends—how painful would that be?
Four enemies against fifteen of us; although there was a slight numerical disadvantage, we were not completely outmatched. I admitted that there were indeed skilled fighters among those fifteen, but not all of them were particularly strong, which directly led to prolonged combat.
Moreover, because I had been caught off guard by seeing the photo earlier, any movement caused excruciating pain in my chest as if my heart were being pierced each time. With a dagger stuck in my chest, I absolutely could not move carelessly; if the blade shifted… right now, besides pulling out the dagger, it seemed like I really couldn’t move freely! But… could the dagger even be pulled out? Clearly not!
Damn it! This possible bastard dared to ambush me!
I gritted my teeth in anger as I watched the Muscular Man step closer toward me while I retreated step by step. "Why hold on stubbornly? Although I'm quite accurate with my aim, if you resist fiercely, I'm afraid something will happen! So if you don't want to die, just surrender obediently!"
"Dream on!" I said through gritted teeth.
After saying that, I saw Xianxian rushing over. After exchanging a few blows with the Muscular Man, he leaped to my side and frowned, "How did you get hurt?"
I squinted at the still-smiling Muscular Man and remained silent. It seemed Xianxian sensed something and said, "You can't delay this injury. Let's temporarily let these little people go today!"
"Want to leave? Heh heh heh, is it that easy?" The group completely blocked our chance to escape.
"Master Xian, you take Brother Feng and leave here first. We'll catch up soon!" Wang Yi also noticed my wound and said angrily.
I didn't respond to anyone but looked at Jiang Feng beside me and all the envious members of the Spirit Department, coldly saying, "It's up to you."
"Don't worry, Feng Xiao Ge. You go treat your injury first; we'll come back for you before dawn!" Sun Cheng spoke up.
"Okay." I nodded and turned to leave under the puzzled gaze of the Muscular Man. As I turned, I heard him shout, "Where are you going?" He lunged toward us, but I didn't look back. Behind me came the sounds of fighting and various noises...
"Judging by the looks of this dagger, it's very sharp. The wound doesn't seem shallow; you can't move it carelessly!" Xianxian frowned, looking at me with a mix of frustration and concern. "Look at this! This Lord leaves for just a moment, and you've gotten yourself into this state..."
I sighed helplessly and recounted what had happened. Sure enough, after hearing it, Xianxian became even angrier. "What the hell! That Black Tortoise egg actually ambushed you! Don't worry; next time I see him, I'll definitely help you get revenge! How about breaking his hands?" After saying that, he paused and asked doubtfully, "By the way, are you sure that photo is real?"
"Yes." I nodded, trying hard to recall what I had seen at that moment. When I first saw it, I was also suspicious if it had been photoshopped. Because of that doubt, I looked at it a few more times and ended up being ambushed by that person. Now that I think about it, the Muscular Man must have anticipated that I would carefully verify the photo and thought he could directly take me away after ambushing me.
"Feng Xiao Ge, we found a small wooden house not far away; there's light inside. There should be someone living there!" Zhang Hong's figure suddenly appeared in front of me from a distance, leaving traces of afterimages along the way.
"Okay, thank you!" I said to Zhang Hong.
At that moment, I suddenly heard Xianxian's exaggerated scream, "Yikes! There's a ghost!" I looked at Xianxian suspiciously and saw him staring excitedly ahead at Zhang Hong's position. I thought he was just joking again and told him to stop messing around since I really wasn't in the mood.
To my surprise, Xianxian laughed heartily and said, "This Lord really saw it! Oh haha! Do you think I've opened my heavenly eye?"
"Can you really see it?" I looked at Xianxian half-believingly as he nodded vigorously with joy. "Tell me! Did I really open my heavenly eye?"
Sun Hong also looked down at himself in confusion before floating over to Xianxian's side and spinning around twice with a puzzled expression. But Xianxian seemed somewhat annoyed and said, "Stop spinning; you've made my head dizzy!"
"Uh... Sorry!" Sun Hong awkwardly stopped spinning and floated in front of us while leading the way. "Feng Xiao Ge, Master Brother, shall we set off now?"
"Of course!" Xianxian was now even more pleased and full of spirit. I didn't bother to think about why Xianxian could see Sun Hong; if he really had opened his heavenly eye, he would probably look for other people to experiment on after a while.
Right now, my chest hurt terribly from blood loss, and I felt a bit dizzy, especially because of the cold weather at this moment, which made my wound sting even more. I could believe that my face must be as pale as Sun Hong's.
Sure enough, halfway there, I heard Xianxian laughingly tease me, saying that compared to Sun Hong, I looked even less like a person...
With Sun Hong leading the way, we indeed saw a light ahead. Because of my wound, although I was anxious, I could only walk slowly. Just as Sun Hong said, it was indeed a small wooden cabin that looked quite new and had a delicate structure; the whole environment was very elegant.
"Hang in there!" Xianxian said as he put his arm around my shoulder.
It's not that I didn't want to hang in there, but every step felt like my chest was being cut by a knife. Damn it, my legs were already sore and weak!
After climbing the steps, we finally arrived at the door. Without saying a word, Xianxian pushed the door open with all his strength. To our surprise, the door swung open immediately!
Bright light illuminated the entire room, and at the moment Xianxian pushed open the door, I saw a very handsome young man inside wearing cute and sexy Panda Pajamas. In his right arm, he held a stunning Big Wavy-Haired Beauty.
At that moment, we awkwardly sized each other up while they looked at us with confusion and caution.
"I'm freezing!" Xianxian shivered slightly and then helped me into the room while simultaneously using his left foot to kick the door shut behind us.
The beautiful man's gaze moved from his face down to my blood-stained clothes where the dagger was lodged. Calmly, he asked, "Did you guys come to the wrong place?"
