While Lin Zhiling and Shui Bing'er hesitated, the two women also approached them.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er and Lin Zhiling finally saw their faces clearly.
Starry eyes, arched brows, red lips, a delicate nose, and fair skin complemented by the glow of a star crown on their foreheads, with light purple hair cascading to their waists.
They were both dressed in black battle attire, tight leather pants hugging their long, shapely thighs, a fitted high-necked top, and a black leather jacket. Their figures were curvaceous and pleasing to the eye.
The two women's attire and appearance were strikingly similar, with only a slight difference in temperament, but in their current flight, it was impossible to tell them apart. These two were a pair of stunningly beautiful twin sisters, and at this moment, both sisters' faces were filled with extreme anxiety, their brows furrowed, making them look heartbreakingly distressed.
However, to Lin Zhiling and Shui Bing'er's surprise, the two girls did not ask for help, but instead said, "Big Sisters, hurry and leave, or when they arrive, they won't let you go. They are Evil Soul Masters."
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
The girl's voice was clear, and after speaking, she was about to flee into the forest ahead.
"They?" Lin Zhiling's expression changed upon hearing this; she had only detected one Spirit King.
So, why "they"?
However, before Lin Zhiling and Shui Bing'er could react, a sudden gust of cold wind rose from the ground, and a figure in a large black cloak, whose face was indistinguishable, blocked the path of Xu Xiaoxiao and Xu Youyou.
"Heh heh, I didn't expect that chasing two little beauties would come with two extras. With such looks, Elder Dried Bones will surely be very excited," a sinister, hoarse, and grating voice rang out, sending shivers down one's spine.
At this moment, the black-robed figure also spread his arms, and a yellow, three purple, and three black spirit rings slowly rose from his feet—he was actually a Spirit Saint!
Immediately after, the Spirit King who had been chasing the Xu sisters also arrived, and what worried Lin Zhiling even more was that another figure appeared in the distance, and judging by that figure's spirit rings, it was yet another Spirit Saint!
Thump!
The later Spirit Saint had an even colder aura, and his withered, pale hand tossed out a bloody head.
"Liu Bo~" The bloody head's face was turned towards the Xu sisters, and they immediately recognized the identity of the head's owner. It was Liu Bo, the Spirit Saint guard who had always been responsible for their safety.
Tears welled in Xu Youyou's eyes, then slowly closed her eyes, and softly said, "I'm sorry~"
She was sorry, but it was unclear if it was to the Spirit Saint guard, or to Lin Zhiling and Shui Bing'er.
In any case, Lin Zhiling's expression was solemn, and her spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black, rose from her feet.
Shui Bing'er's expression was also solemn at this moment, and her spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, rose.
Seeing Lin Zhiling and Shui Bing'er's spirit rings, the chilling Spirit Saint immediately sneered, "Top quality! Elder Dried Bones will surely reward us handsomely." As his voice fell, the chilling Spirit Saint's Spirit quietly released, revealing a blood-red scythe.
And the other Spirit Saint also performed Spirit possession; his Spirit was a scarlet lizard with ferocious fangs.
"Bing'er, I'll hold back these two Spirit Saints later, you find a chance to run. Don't go looking for Yang Tian, understand?" Lin Zhiling leaned close to Shui Bing'er and whispered.
Upon hearing this, a determined look flashed across Shui Bing'er's solemn and tense face, and she said, "Sister Ling'er, I won't leave."
"Silly girl, if we don't leave, neither of us will survive. I won't let their filthy hands touch my body."
Lin Zhiling tried to persuade Shui Bing'er to leave; if even one of them could leave, it would be good. She couldn't leave; with two Spirit Saints, she wouldn't be able to escape.
"No, if I leave you, I... even if I live, how could I face him?" Shui Bing'er shook her head resolutely. In fact, she had another obsession: Yang Tian would definitely save them.
Although they had only known each other for about ten days, the man who usually laughed and joked gave her an unparalleled sense of security.
"Tsk tsk tsk, are you discussing how to escape? What a pity, none of you will get away," the Blood Dagger Spirit Saint said coldly, the moon-colored scythe in his hand emitting a strong bloody smell, as if fresh blood was dripping from it.
"Such high-quality beauties, I wonder if we'll have a chance to enjoy them before presenting them to Lord Dried Bones... Hahahaha~ Hm?" The Lizard Soul Saint laughed wickedly, but he only laughed halfway before abruptly turning his head.
Behind him, Yang Tian was carrying two fat rabbits, whose legs were still kicking, clearly alive. He had originally intended to catch four, but due to the system's mission prompt, he had to bring these two.
"Ding! Mission released: Eliminate three Evil Soul Masters and rescue four goddesses."
"Mission reward: Ten Brave-tier Stealing Coupons."
"It's over." Xu Youyou's face turned ashen, then she and Xu Xiaoxiao exchanged glances. Looking in the direction of Lin Zhiling and Shui Bing'er, she softly said, "I'm sorry, we've implicated you."
Lin Zhiling's beautiful eyes watched Yang Tian, who was carrying two rabbits and walking towards them step by step, with some worry, but more so, with trust.
And Yang Tian would not disappoint her.
"Scythe, lizard, is this kind of trash really daring enough to come out and make a fool of itself?"
Yang Tian ignored the Lizard Soul Saint, walked past him directly, and went to Lin Zhiling and Shui Bing'er, saying softly, "I haven't eaten rabbit meat in a long time, so I went deep to look for a while."
Shui Bing'er stared blankly at Yang Tian, thought for a moment, then was comforted by Yang Tian's reassuring glance.
"If you haven't killed anyone, don't watch. It'll affect your appetite." Yang Tian gestured for the two women to wait in the carriage. However, the two women refused to go.
Yang Tian didn't force them, and said to Lin Zhiling, "Ling'er, just protect Bing'er, the rest... they're just a few clowns."
Yang Tian threw the two little rabbits on the ground, then reached into his embrace and pulled out Xiao Cai: "Little fellow, protect them well~ I'll give you something delicious later."
Hiss hiss~
Xiao Cai's snake tongue flickered, then she instantly appeared on Shui Bing'er's shoulder, nodding her head repeatedly.
After arranging Lin Zhiling and Shui Bing'er, Yang Tian finally turned his gaze to the Xu sisters and said, "You two come over too, you'll be safe with them."
"I'll help you!" Xu Youyou said concisely, and Xu Xiaoxiao also nodded heavily: "We have a Spirit fusion skill, we can give you a boost."
"No need, save it for self-preservation." Yang Tian shook his head, then took out another mask from his storage ring.
Except for Lin Zhiling, no one knew why Yang Tian was doing this, and even Lin Zhiling was puzzled; a clone might deceive people, but could it really fight?
However, whether it could or not, it no longer mattered.
Lin Zhiling reached out and pulled the Xu sisters to her side. Although they had implicated her and the others, they hadn't done it intentionally, and they had apologized more than once, even though "I'm sorry" were the most pale and powerless three words in the world.
But for the kind-hearted Lin Zhiling and Shui Bing'er, it was enough.
