Free Web NovelChapter 20: Chapter 20: Please Lady, have mercy!
For the past several days, Yue Yue had been stuck inside this strange polluted zone. At first, everything had been terrifying. She had to eat with Han Soi, sleep near Han Soi, and even watch him hunt polluted beasts like it was nothing.
But after surviving the first day without dying, she slowly got used to it.
Then the second day.
Then the third.
And now... she was almost comfortable with him.
Every morning he would disappear to hunt, return covered in blood, clean himself, and quietly place food in front of her like nothing strange had happened. After that incident between them, he behaved surprisingly calmly.
Honestly... it shocked her a little. But she didn’t question it.
Han Soi had also told her yesterday that his men would soon come to get them out. Apparently, no one inside could leave without a key, and he didn’t have one. He conveniently didn’t mention that he himself was locked inside because of his spiritual riot. He just kept a straight face and said, "My men will come."
She didn’t doubt him. She only dreamed of leaving this weird place. freewebnσvel.cøm
So when she suddenly heard two distant screams echoing through the hall, she froze mid-step.
Those voices... were definitely not Han Soi’s.
Her eyes widened in excitement.
"Are they here?"
She hurried out of the room, almost skipping in relief that they could finally leave. But as she stepped into the wide corridor and saw the two kneeling men clearly, her footsteps slowed... and came to a full stop.
Her brows twitched as her eyes narrowed.
These voices... Wait...are they not...?
Her mind clicked. These were the two idiots who literally threw her away on the 19th floor.
Her expression darkened instantly. Her ears twitched with irritation. She glared at them, and her anger almost burst out.
The two men, who had finally calmed down after realizing their master wasn’t going to kill them yet, were breathing normally for exactly three seconds.
Then Yue Yue’s glare landed on them.
And both men trembled so violently they almost headbutted the ground.
In their minds, they screamed:
Please, lady, don’t say anything. Please, lady, we beg you, have mercy on us. We are already dying inside. Please don’t open your mouth, or Master will chop us into pieces.
While they were turning pale like dying chickens, Han Soi stepped behind her. He wrapped an arm around Yue Yue’s waist protectively, pulling her closer.
His voice came out low and dangerously soft.
"What happened, Yue Yue? Did they bully you?"
The two B level orcs felt their souls leave their bodies. Their knees knocked together.
Master, please, we didn’t do anything today. Please don’t misunderstand. We are just pitiful souls who were following the order of the clan...and nothing else.
Yue Yue looked at the two trembling men again. She really wanted to expose them.
Her angry expression said she definitely remembered them.
But then she thought of something important.
If Han Soi got angry and suddenly went berserk... If he killed both of them right now...
Then she and Han Soi would be stuck here again for who knows how many more days.
Absolutely not.
So Yue Yue took a deep breath, forced her expression to soften a little, and said lightly, "No. I just felt like I’ve seen them somewhere... but I guess I was mistaken."
Both men almost cried with gratitude.
Thank you, merciful lady.
They bowed even lower, faces hitting the floor like they were worshipping her.
Meanwhile, Han Soi looked down at them with a cold expression that clearly meant,
"They better not have dared to offend you."
The two men trembled again. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Why was their luck so rotten today? First they offended their master. Now they offended the lady who seemed extremely close to him.
Today... was definitely the day they should have stayed in bed.
Han Soi immediately pulled Yue Yue beside him, holding her wrist firmly as if she might disappear again.
Without wasting a second, he walked toward the two men. The moment the two B-level orcs saw him coming, they scrambled to the side so fast they almost tripped over each other.
They knew their master was ready to leave, so they rushed to make a clear path to the lift, bowing and shaking at the same time.
Han Soi didn’t need to pack anything. Everything he owned was already stored inside his spatial space.
Yue Yue also had nothing to prepare, so both of them were already ready to escape from this strange place. Yue Yue walked happily beside him, finally feeling hope after so many days trapped in the sealed floor.
Once inside, the two of them filled almost the whole lift, standing side by side like they owned the entire space.
Han Soi lifted his hand silently, glaring at the two men, clearly asking for the key.
One of the men jumped, almost dropping it in panic as he handed it over with trembling fingers.
His eyes were wide and pitiful, practically screaming, Master, if you take the key how will we get back out? Are you planning to seal us here to die? Please don’t abandon us here.
Han Soi understood that pitiful look perfectly. He sighed, grabbed Yue Yue, and gently pulled her to stand on his other side, making a small space in the corner.
The two men almost burst into tears from relief. Master wasn’t going to leave them to die.
They squeezed awkwardly into the corner, not daring to breathe too loudly, not daring to disturb him even for a second.
The lift finally reached the ground. As soon as the doors opened, Han Soi pulled Yue Yue’s hand and stepped out calmly.
The two terrified men followed behind them slowly. Yue Yue looked around curiously once they exited the danger zone.
Behind them was a massive area wrapped in thick, dark mist where nothing inside could be seen. Her heart flipped strangely when she realized she had lived inside that horrifying place for so many days.
A small shiver ran through her, but Han Soi gently squeezed her hand and patted her to calm her down before guiding her forward again.
As soon as they stepped far enough, Han Soi’s terminal reconnected to the outside world. He opened his terminal and typed a few quick messages.
Within moments, a high-grade flying car appeared above them, landing smoothly. Two well-trained men in black uniforms kneeled in front of him and greeted loudly, "Master, we are happy that you have returned."
Yue Yue watched everything with bright, curious eyes, amazed at how advanced everything looked in real life.
Han Soi waved casually and then turned to the two B-level orcs who had followed him. Without saying a word, he signaled that their work was done.
The two men instantly bowed, almost falling over themselves, and then ran away toward their low-quality car, speeding off before their luck could get worse. Han Soi didn’t speak to them. They were clan workers, not his personal men. He didn’t trust them.
The two men who had arrived with the high-grade car were his own trusted pupils, and he had full confidence in them.
They glanced once at Yue Yue’s face, shocked by her beauty, but quickly lowered their eyes, not daring to look again.
They were nothing like the foolish orcs from earlier. One glance was enough for them to understand she was someone important to their master.
Han Soi held Yue Yue’s hand firmly and guided her inside the flying car. She sat inside with shining eyes, excitement bubbling in her chest.
Even though she had all the world knowledge in her mind, seeing everything with her own eyes felt completely different. The experience made her heart race in delight as the car prepared to take off into the sky.
