Chapter 787: Chapter 789: The Useless Squad (Ten)
Dark Night Forest is in eternal night throughout the year.
The gloomy night shrouds the towering trees, casting shadows on the ground below.
At this moment, the forest was serene; however, the arrival of the group successfully shattered this moment of peace…
The evening breeze whistled, and the leaves underfoot rustled with a sound that, under the cover of night, seemed so eerie…
“An Qian,” An Lin raised her eyes to look at the girl standing close to Mu Ruyue within the crowd, sneering, “I’m only advising you out of consideration for our shared father, albeit different mothers. It’s best you leave those people; otherwise, you won’t even know how you died! They simply can’t survive here, but…”
The light in An Lin’s eyes flickered as she laughed coldly, “If you kneel and beg me, maybe, just maybe I will help you…”
“In your dreams!”
An Qian glared fiercely at An Lin, her charming and cute face flushed with anger, and her eyes filled with rage.
“Even without you, I can live just fine!”
“Haha!”
An Lin laughed heartily, “An Qian, do you think those three people can protect you? You’re still too naive. Perhaps some people are eyeing the power of the An Family and are currying favor with you deliberately, and you think they are truly your friends. Let me tell you, in this world, there are no true friends; all people are in relationships of mutual use!”
Just like her and Liang Wen…
If Liang Wen got her, then the price he paid would be to help her in the contest; otherwise, why would she bother to show her face for this man?
Those people must also be interested in something An Qian possesses, which is why they associate with her; otherwise, what qualifications does a trash like An Qian have to be considered by others?
Shu Ning frowned tightly and raised his hand to stop An Qian. His calm gaze fell on An Lin’s face, his voice carrying a serene and elegant tone.
“You don’t need to worry too much. Since we’re a team, I will naturally protect An Qian’s safety. As for the exploitation you’re talking about… it seems only someone like you would exploit friends.”
Friends…
An Qian paused for a moment, then turned to look at Shu Ning’s beautiful face.
Having grown up regarded as useless, no one was willing to be her friend, and she participated in this contest only to prove herself…
But Shu Ning said she was a friend…
A warm current flowed into her heart, causing An Qian to tremble slightly, her cute and tender face beaming with a radiant smile.
“Friends?” An Lin scoffed, “That’s truly laughable. I don’t believe you see An Qian as a friend, and moreover, how can you think of protecting her when you can’t even protect yourself?”
As she spoke these words, a look of contempt shone in her beautiful eyes.
As if, for her, the words spoken by the woman in front were profoundly ridiculous…
“Lin’er, let’s not bother with these people,” Liang Wen frowned deeply, casting a cold glance at those faces that infuriated him. Yet, ultimately, he suppressed the rage in his heart, his smile frosty, “They will pay for their arrogance today! Dark Night Forest is not like other places; soon, they will realize just how laughable their refusal to submit to us is!”
Especially since there are too many dangerous Demon Beasts in the Dark Night Forest. Others might use a Teleportation Talisman to leave, but they…
A sly glint flashed in his eyes, and Liang Wen smiled silently.
