Chapter 301 - 301 Parlor Tricks
301 Parlor Tricks
“Stop him!” Wang He roared. His eyes were red, and his body trembled violently.
A huge black bird flew over from somewhere. The bird was about ten meters in size, and when it spread its wings, it set off a strong gale. Its entire body was black and glowed with a dark light. It also had sharp talons.
It was a ferocious beast with great power. This beast was called the Black Crow Owl. Like the Black Sun, it had an affinity for the dark attribute.
“Black Crow Owl, use Dark Binding Beam!” Wang He roared.
Whoosh!
In an instant, an endless amount of black light shot out. These black lights were as dense as a spider’s web. In an instant, they filled the entire sky and rushed toward Shen Fei. It looked like it was the end of the line for him.
“Parlor tricks!” Shen Fei snorted.
He was not nervous at all. He tapped lightly with the tip of his foot and shot out. His figure flickered left and right, avoiding the countless attacks of the black light. Then, he suddenly rushed out with a punch.
Wham!
He punched the Black Crow Owl’s neck and broke it. Shen Fei threw out another punch for good measure.
Seeing that Shen Fei had the upper hand, Zhang Wenshan was furious and roared furiously, “Damn it! Kill him!”
In an instant, more Black Crow Owls appeared and flew at Shen Fei like a rolling stormcloud.
Shen Fei revealed a cold smile. He stepped with his foot and dodged nimbly. He then punched the head of a Black Crow Owl.
“Caw!” the Black Crow Owl screamed in pain. Its body swayed a few times before it finally fell to the ground.
Shen Fei dodged aside as the exotic beast’s body collapsed with a heavy thump, then he casually made his way toward Wang He.
“You b*stard!” Seeing Shen Fei approach step by step, Wang He’s heart trembled and he could not help but take a few steps back. “Go! Tear him into pieces!” he roared.
For a time, Black Crow Owls flew at Shen Fei like black hail.
“Again, such cheap tricks!” Shen Fei laughed. He took a step forward and a powerful aura rippled out. Immediately after, an overpowering and sharp aura swept out.
With a series of wails, the Black Crow Owls were smashed into pieces and fell into the lake, stirring up huge waves. In just a few moments, the powerful Black Crow Owls were all defeated by Shen Fei!
Wang He, Zhang Wenshan, and Li Zihao were shocked when they saw this.
Zhang Wenshan’s pupils contracted as he cried out involuntarily, “How is this possible?!”
He could not believe that Shen Fei’s cultivation had increased so quickly in such a short time. His speed was even more terrifying than some legendary monsters.
“Hmph, Shen Fei, the son of Shen Teng. He’s got some gall. How dare he make the three great families lose face here today!” Wang He gritted his teeth and roared, “Come on! If you’re so great, show me how strong you are!”
Hearing this, Shen Fei’s eyes turned cold.
At this moment, a woman’s voice came, “Stop!”
Aloy rushed over quickly to stop Zhang Wenshan and the others, and she leveled them with a cold glare.
Aloy frowned and asked, “Are the Zhang, Li, and Wang families trying to destroy the Shen family together now?”
Her words immediately made Zhang Wenshan and the other two stop in their tracks. They could not help but feel a little afraid.
“I just want to teach that b*stard a lesson,” Zhang Wenshan sneered. “I’m not actually going against the Shen family…”
Li Zihao was also smiling. He said casually, “Ah, that’s right. We only want to teach Shen Fei a lesson. As for exterminating the Shen family, we certainly weren’t planning anything like that. It’s just not our place to do so.”
“Since the goddess has stepped in, we’ll take our leave first,” Wang He sneered.
With that, Zhang Wenshan and the others quickly scurried off.
The combined strength of their families were still not enough to defy the mayor, so they still had to tuck their tails between their legs and behave!
Aloy anxiously examined Shen Fei. “Shen Fei, are you alright?”
Although Shen Fei’s earlier performance was very heroic, Aloy understood that there was a trace of chaotic energy in Shen Fei’s body from their previous adventure in the black hole, and he needed to recuperate. Hence, Aloy immediately supported Shen Fei and let him put his weight on her.
This scene immediately made Shen Fei’s heart beat a little faster, and he became a little embarrassed.
“A-Aloy, I’m fine.” Shen Fei coughed and struggled to stand up. However, the toll on his body was heavy, so he fell down again.
Seeing this scene, Aloy could not help but sigh. She helped him get back inside the house.
“Lie down. I’ll get you a glass of water,” she said softly.
Shen Fei nodded and lied down quietly. After Aloy poured a glass of water for Shen Fei, she sat in front of him. She then stretched out her hand and touched Shen Fei’s forehead.
Aloy said with concern, “Shen Fei, how are you feeling now?”
“I’m alright.” Shen Fei nodded.
Aloy heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “Shen Fei, don’t worry. I’ll take care of you. You’ll be fine.”
“Thank you, Aloy,” Shen Fei said sincerely.
Aloy nodded. “You’re welcome, we’re engaged, after all, so it’s only natural for us to help each other…”
She lowered her head, and her face blushed. She seemed to have thought of something, and her heart beat faster.
“Yes.” Shen Fei nodded his head and went silent for a moment. Then, Shen Fei suddenly opened his mouth and asked doubtfully, “Aloy, I have something I want you to see.”
After he finished speaking, Shen Fei took out the vellum scroll. Seeing this, Aloy was stunned.
How did this scroll come to be in Shen Fei’s possession? In her previous life, she had put in a lot of effort to obtain this scroll, which could resist the exotic beast horde, but it was still snatched away by someone else in the end, and no one knew where it went.
This was also a pain that she could never forget in the depths of her heart.
Aloy took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She asked, “Who gave you this scroll?”
Hearing this, Shen Fei was startled and said in surprise, “Do you recognize these runes?”
Hearing these words, Aloy’s pretty face suddenly changed before quickly returning to normal. She shook her head indifferently and said, “I was searching for these runes, but couldn’t find them.”
Shen Fei frowned and asked dubiously, “Why were you looking for these runes?”
...
He had a feeling that Aloy was hiding something from him. However, Shen Fei did not pursue it for too long, because he soon fell asleep from exhaustion.
Aloy saw that Shen Fei had fallen asleep and quickly placed the scroll in her bag.
‘This won’t do. I have to stop the exotic beast horde. I can’t let them destroy the world.’ Aloy thought to herself, and a determined look appeared on her face.
She raised her head and looked out of the window, her beautiful eyes flashing with worry and anxiety. After a while, she left the Shen residence.
Half an hour later, Shen Fei woke up, but he did not see Aloy.
‘… Where’s the scroll?’
Shen Fei’s eyes snapped open. He looked around, but he could not find the scroll.
