QT: Capture The Villain's Love

Chapter 237: A Giant Monster!

Both Tyler and the male lead were supposed to go to that place and find her before coming back to the palace. The plan was straightforward, and he even knew how to distinguish the herbs from the natural vegetation on the ground.

This particular herb would be surrounded by purple flowers that would be meant to protect people from stealing it quickly, but thanks to the system, he knew how to get past the boundary of those purple flowers.

He would just have to uproot those flowers first before he could get the herb. Normally, you wouldn't consider uprooting something naturally growing on the ground, especially if the flower is particularly unappealing.

A girl would definitely ignore such a group of flowers around the herbs. So, even the female lead had ignored the flower and extended her hand toward the herb, only to fall unconscious not long after touching it. She slept like that in the open for six hours!

It turned out that the purple flowers would release a sleeping poison every time someone approached their vicinity. That was why, no matter how much time passed, no one would be able to get that spiritual pregnancy herb at all! Even after thousands of years, many tried to get this herb, but every time someone got unconscious, a monster would come out and kill that person.

The female lead in the original storyline was fortunate to have found a group of travelers who helped her fight those monsters while she was sleeping soundly beside the herbs. They even took care of her carefully until she woke up.

Since Tyler knew about this, he didn't dare to reach out for the herb even after discovering it on the river bank. He kept his distance and squinted his eyes when he felt someone poking his back.

"Now, can you tell me why you dragged us all here?" The Emperor asked, with a touch of sleepiness in his eyes. It took them several hours of walking before they stopped, and Liang Deming wanted to sleep!

The guards around them saw their Emperor behaving like this and shook their heads in disbelief. This person was wrapped around Tyler's fingers, so much that he would even agree to walk for several hours on foot in a forest! If it were someone else, the male lead would have turned them down and even scolded them fiercely!

Now they were wondering what happened to their cold and ruthless Emperor, who didn't smile even before his family members! His personality has shifted since this ger entered his life!

Of course, Tyler didn't know what was going on in the guards' minds, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared about it. His focus was entirely on that herb, surrounded by those purple flowers. Now that he knows about this, how should he go about uprooting those flowers?

Anyone in its vicinity would fall unconscious for six hours.

He frowned and looked down at his sword and a handkerchief draped around the Emperor's waist. He didn't say anything and just snatched the handkerchief as if he had the authority to do so. The soldiers watching this scene stared at Tyler's actions with wide eyes. How could this person snatch a piece of cloth just like that without even asking permission? And why would he even take away the Emperor's cloth? Didn't He Qiao have his own at his waist?

On the other hand, the male lead was surprised by his baby's actions and smiled widely at him before leaning on the nearest tree. "What are you going to do?"

Tyler didn't say anything because he didn't know how to explain himself. Should he just say that he was taking this herb because he didn't want the female lead to take this and become pregnant with the Emperor's child?!

He shook his head and suppressed that hurtful image of his senior spending time with that vile woman before slowly heading toward the flowers. After reaching them, one by one, he uprooted these flowers while keeping the cloth tied around his nose. His brows furrowed as he walked stealthily and took care of all the flowers at the fastest speed. Thanks to the experience he had in previous worlds, he knew how to handle this kind of thing.

Liang Deming raised his eyebrows at this and admired his baby's actions. He still didn't know what this person was doing, but he didn't plan to stop Tyler. He wanted to see what his lover was going to do!

Soon, when those flowers were uprooted, Tyler's shoulders relaxed a bit before he approached the herbs. His guard was still up, and he didn't know whether he should still touch this herb with his bare hands. In the storyline, the system didn't explain how the female lead was able to do this. The system just wrote a short description that after she woke up, she uprooted the purple flowers by covering her nose and took out the herb quickly.

But Tyler was worried that there might be another trap that could attack him if he touched it with bare hands.

So he used his sword to take out that herb and waited for a while before his shoulders relaxed utterly. Nothing really happened. He was thinking too-

Roar!

A loud voice jolted his body as he glanced in that direction. He frowned and narrowed his eyes. In the original storyline, he hadn't heard anything about such a thing. The female lead wasn't attacked by any monsters after she took away that herb. And even if he did, the system didn't bother telling him about it!

It turned out that the system's habit of becoming unreliable had started to reach another level!

He gritted his teeth and raised his sword, getting ready for a fight. Just then, a hand came toward him and pressed his wrist.

Tyler looked up at the male lead, who had a cold expression on his face as the latter glanced in the direction where they heard the noise."Let me deal with this."

Without giving the others a chance, the Emperor gestured to the guards, and they all darted toward the monster's direction.

Tyler just stood there, holding the herb, watching his senior draw his sword and rush toward the location with squinted eyes. Soon, the monster was revealed to everyone, and they gasped.

The monster, having a huge body, was running toward them at the highest speed. Its height could reach a three-floor building in the modern world, and his eyes were red. Even the orbs were red. That made it seem like that thing had just hopped out of a horror movie. The monster had two hands and legs, but the color of his skin was muddy, covered with spikes. Its face was even contorted into anger, and the ugly features turned even worse when the monster got furious.

There was a reason why Tyler didn't choose to run away after hearing that Earth-shattering roar. The monster's speed was faster than anything. It could cover a half-mile distance in a matter of seconds. So it wouldn't be of any use if he ran away or not. Without a sword in their hand and a fighting stance, none of them could win.

So, even if the male lead said that he would take care of that monster, Tyler was still in a fighting stance as his eyes sharply watched every move of the monster. And just as he predicted, it ignored all those guards and headed straight for Tyler, who was gripping the sword tightly.

The male lead's pupils constricted. "He Qiao!"

He instantly rushed back to his baby. He didn't know what this monster was, but he had decided to be curious after killing it. But who would have thought that this thing would go straight to the Empress, who was standing far behind them?! His heart jumped into his throat when he saw a giant monster appear right before a small ger with a slim body.

Even the guards around them were also afraid. Some of them hopped in front of Tyler to protect their Empress, but the monster's hands filled with spikes killed them all! They didn't know why in the world this monster was going to Tyler?!

Suddenly, the male lead's eyes darted toward the herb in his Empress's hands, and he realized something. Was it this herb that triggered that monster to appear in front of them? He didn't get time to think more about it when he heard a 'clang' sound where Tyler's sword collided with the monster's hands. It almost felt like sparks were flying in the air when the two kinds of weapons attacked each other.

Tyler's back was covered with cold sweat. He hadn't expected this monster to be so big! Even though he had skills, this ger's body was so weak that he could barely manage to uproot those flowers! If he knew this herb would trigger a monster, he wouldn't have bothered to uproot it at all! He would have set fire to it all!

But he was also reluctant to let go of this herb because it could be the source of his power, hidden in this world! These days, the system has stopped giving him clues about where the power could be hidden. So he had to think about it himself!
