Before I Died, I Forcibly Kissed The Heroine
chapter-313

Bai Zhi was stunned.

He was originally trying to help Xing Ke save face, but he didn’t expect the other party to speak such words. For a moment, he even doubted if he had misheard.

“Brother Xing, you must be joking,” Bai Zhi forced a smile.

However, Xing Ke ignored him and looked at the group of tense guards, frowning, “How dare you be disrespectful to Young Master Su Shi? Get out of here!”

The guards looked at each other hesitantly, but eventually sheathed their swords. After all, Xing Ke was a direct descendant of the Lion Clan and one of the high-ranking officials managing the Beast Arena. They couldn’t afford to defy him.

Xing Ke approached Su Shi with a bow, “Young Master Su Shi, we meet again.”

“Young Master Su Shi?”

Yu She and Bai Zhi were both stunned. Su Shi’s brow slightly furrowed, “You recognized me from the beginning?”

Xing Ke shook his head, “At first, I only had some doubts. After all, besides Young Master Su Shi, I couldn’t think of anyone else who could be so close to Miss Yu.”

“But I didn’t dare to confirm it recklessly.”

“And it was only after witnessing the golden divine flame just now that I was truly convinced.”

After meeting Su Shi in the Green Hill Plains, Xing Ke immediately sent people to gather information about him. Among the details was the golden divine flame, which was one of his distinctive abilities. In the city of Huangyuan, Su Shi had used the golden divine flame to defeat a large wave of beasts, impressing the entire city. Witnessing the power of that divine flame, Xing Ke was completely convinced.

“He didn’t even make a move personally. With just a strand of golden divine flame, he could instantly kill a peak Gold Core realm beast. How powerful is Su Shi really?” Xing Ke felt fear but also a hint of relief.

He was fortunate that he hadn’t been caught in Bai Zhi’s scheme; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At this moment, Bai Zhi came to his senses and whispered, “Brother Xing, the Young Master Su Shi you mentioned… could it be…”

Xing Ke calmly replied, “If I can address him with those four words, is there anyone else it could be?”

Bai Zhi gulped.

The title “Young Master” was quite common. Many small sects and factions liked to address their children as Young Masters or Young Mistresses. However, for Xing Ke to show such respect, there could be only one person in his mind—the legendary figure who shook the Human Realm and the Barbarian Realm, the only one who deserved to be called “Young Master.”

“No wonder I couldn’t figure out which clan he belonged to. It turns out he is not from any other race but the human race!”

“Su Shi, he is actually Su Shi!”

Bai Zhi’s mind was in chaos.

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Su Shi didn’t bother to pretend anymore. With a slight movement of his mind, the aura of his dao dissipated, revealing his true appearance. Looking at his even more handsome face than in the portrait, both Bai Zhi and Yu She gasped in amazement.

It really was him! Yu She glanced at Su Shi, then at Yu Ren’er, “Ren’er, you two…”

Yu Ren’er blushed slightly. At this moment, Xing Ke spoke, “Young Master Su Shi and Miss Yu have feelings for each other, and this matter has already been approved by the leader of the Yu Clan.”

Although a bit embarrassing, she might as well admit it now.

“Ren’er, is this true?” Yu She still couldn’t believe it.

“Yes,” Yu Ren’er shyly nodded.

Yu She’s heart skipped a beat!

She knew that the Fox clan and the Linlang had a good relationship, and they had always played a role in mediating between different races.

But she never expected that Su Shi would actually become the son-in-law of the Fox clan?

Considering Su Shi’s background, the implications behind this were astonishing!

Bai Zhi’s mind was buzzing.

He originally thought Su Shi was just an insignificant nobody. But he never imagined that he had such a powerful background! Even in the Barbarian Realm, Bai Zhi had heard of Su Shi’s reputation.

He was a once-in-a-millennium super genius, the Shengzi of Netherworld Rakshasa Sect, and also the hero who saved the human race in the Huangyuan City!

The entire Tiger clan was annihilated because of Su Shi! He was a figure that could influence the relations between the Linlang and the Barbarian Realm!

Recalling his attitude towards Su Shi just now, Bai Zhi’s back was soaked in cold sweat.

This time, he had caused big trouble!

No wonder Xing Ke had remained silent from the beginning; he had recognized Su Shi’s identity long ago! Bai Zhi transmitted his voice, “Brother Xing, this is not fair. You didn’t even tell me. I was doing it for you…”

“Enough,” Xing Ke interrupted, shaking his head, “This is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I have been warning you from the beginning not to make a big deal out of it. Who made you act recklessly?”

Bai Zhi’s face turned red and then pale alternately. He had originally wanted to please Xing Ke.

As a result, not only did the other party not appreciate it, but he also offended Su Shi!

Seeing his unpleasant expression, Xing Ke sighed, “Have you ever thought about it? How could I, as someone so close to Yu Ren’er, be just a minor character?”

“Right, aren’t you curious about the outcome of my proposal in Green Hill Plains?”

Bai Zhi was taken aback, “Are you suggesting…”

Xing Ke continued, “I met Su Shi, and the Fox clan’s attitude was resolute. They didn’t even give my father any face. You think I have any intentions towards Yu Ren’er, but in reality, I wish to keep my distance from her!”

Initially, after returning to the Lion Clan, Xing Ke felt somewhat resentful. But when he reported this matter to the clan’s patriarch, the patriarch personally appeared and explicitly demanded that he abandon such thoughts; otherwise, the Lion Clan would expelled him completely. Xing Ke then realized the seriousness of the issue.

Even though they also have supreme beings, their strengths were not completely equal. The words of the Lion Clan’s patriarch were filled with fear towards the Demon Empress of the Netherworld Rakshasa Sect, not to mention the Empress of Linlang.

Even if the Lion and Eagle Clans combined their strength, they would still be no match for Linlang.

And now, there was another Fox Clan added to the equation!

“Good luck with your future endeavors,” Xing Ke silently stepped back a few paces, putting more distance between himself and Bai Zhi.

Yu She crossed her arms, looking at him with a cold smile.

Bai Zhi’s expression became bitter. Isolated and in a dilemma, he regretted and felt frightened about his recent actions.

The young dog clan member looked blankly at Su Shi.

The golden flame Su Shi had just displayed was similar to the divine fire used to kill ferocious beasts in the Beast Arena.

“Did you save me?” The young dog clan member looked puzzled.

He had no memory of Su Shi at all. Why would a total stranger help him?

A wolf clan member regained his senses and loudly said, “Young Master Bai, did you see it? It was this guy who did it, I have nothing to do with him…”

Bang!

His words abruptly stopped. A bloody hole appeared on the wolf clan member’s forehead, and his eyes became dazed, not knowing what had happened. Then, he completely slumped down and fell limp.

Smoke rose from the tip of Su Shi’s finger, and he gave a wry smile, saying, “Young Master Su Shi, this is a misunderstanding.”
