Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 722 - 372: Please Call Me Little Fairy_2

"Han Wen, although I know a bit of magic, I'm nothing compared to your friends. Don't worry, they'll be fine."

As soon as the comforting words left her lips, a sudden explosion nearby sent the wine-red figure hurtling toward the three of them.

"Zzzzz..."

The Kabuto Armor emitted black smoke as the red beetle disengaged from the waist. Shi Yun's body was charred black, coughing as he struggled to get up.

"Damn it! Attacking me before my Knight Kick is complete—so dishonorable... Hey, Qin... Brother Xu, why haven't you left yet?"

He glanced at the concerned expressions of the three and waved weakly, forcing a smile: "Brother Xu, don't worry. The evildoer will meet his end shortly."

With that, he prepared to transform again.

"Zzzzz..."

The beetle shot out, but in the next moment, it circled around Shi Yun's hand and ended up in Qin Shou's palm.

Shi Yun was stunned, and Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were equally dumbfounded.

"Brother Xu, what are you trying to do?" Shi Yun looked helpless. Was Mr. Qin planning to blow himself up?

Qin Shou's eyes were firm: "Brother Shi, you're injured—take a rest. As a brother, as a man, I can't stand by and watch you fight in such a state. I will protect everyone with my own strength!"

These words caused Bai Suzhen's gaze to change.

She never expected the seemingly frail scholar to have a side like this.

Originally, her interest in Xu Xian stemmed from curiosity about human romance, and also because Xu Xian seemed honest, had an agreeable appearance, and was easy to get along with—qualities that led her to choose him.

But now, she found herself feeling something completely different for this down-to-earth man.

She didn't know what it was—only that watching Xu Xian made her heartbeat quicken. A sense of "responsibility" and "security" suddenly made the man before her seem endlessly charming.

Shi Yun noticed Bai Suzhen's demeanor and inwardly gave Qin Shou a thumbs-up.

Though his speech was a bit melodramatic, its impact was surprising!

What a clever move!

"Cough cough... Brother Xu, my good brother, I'm counting on you!" Shi Yun muttered, pretending that his injuries had worsened, then collapsed dramatically to the ground.

Qin Shou silently praised him: this guy sure knows how to embellish his scene.

Turning back to look at Bai Suzhen, Qin Shou resolutely strode toward the battlefield.

"Han Wen, be careful..." Bai Suzhen's worried expression betrayed her readiness to lend covert assistance.

"Don't worry."

Qin Shou fastened Shi Yun's belt around his waist and began walking toward the battlefield step by step.

"Transform..."

"Buzz..."

Heavy armor enveloped his entire body. With a swipe at the belt, explosive energy surged through the mountain forest.

Seeing this, Shi Yun couldn't help but avert his gaze—Xu Xian transforming into Masked Rider was just too much.

Speaking of Kabuto, Qin Shou prided himself on being second only to the original Heavenly Dao in utilizing it to its fullest.

Even without tapping into his personal power, the Kabuto Belt alone was enough for Qin Shou to effortlessly crush these amateurs.

The secret to staying joyful: overpower weaklings!

"Buzz..."

The Instant Acceleration Device activated, and Qin Shou transformed into an imperceptible red streak, rushing toward the battlefield.

"Knight Kick!"

With a swift maneuver, he braked sharply next to the Porcupine Gu Langji, spun gracefully, and delivered a powerful kick!

"Boom!!"

Flames erupted everywhere, sending a miniature plume of fire into the sky.

"What? When did he prepare his Knight Kick?"

"Damn it..."

King Snake combined three contracted beasts into one, unleashing indiscriminate attacks on the ground all around him with the giant serpent's maw.

"Boom boom boom..."

Amidst the fiery chaos, a wine-red figure moved nimbly, predicting the trajectories of all energy attacks and effortlessly evading the explosions to appear beneath the fused contracted beast.

Spotting the weakness in the fusion, Qin Shou leapt upward.

"Ha..."

"Roar..."

"BOOM!!"

The three contracted beasts let out pitiful screams as they separated and were flung backward, dissipating into light and returning to the Mirror World.

"Impossible... Kabuto's data..."

King Snake's expression darkened. Before he could warn his teammates, he inserted a card into his Snake Staff and launched a Knight Kick toward the distance.

The Knight Kick was not an exclusive maneuver for Qin Shou alone.

With King Snake escaping, and no fusion contracted beast interfering, the remaining two adversaries were swiftly taken down by Li Mu and the others.

Meanwhile, standing tall amidst the flames, Qin Shou raised a finger to the sky—a display that left Li Mu and the others stunned and fearful.

Stop it!

This will expose us!

An "honest" man like Xu Xian would never understand the art of showing off!

As expected, Bai Suzhen, watching from afar, was both amazed by Xu Xian's martial prowess and puzzled by her growing confusion.

"Han Wen, what… what is the meaning of this?"

Shi Yun sighed helplessly and concocted an explanation: "Men always want to show off in front of the woman they love—if he doesn't take action, how else would she notice him?"

Bai Suzhen pondered deeply: "So that's how it is."

"Aww, Han Wen is so adorable!"

Seeing Bai Suzhen's delighted expression, Shi Yun finally exhaled a breath of relief.

Mr. Qin, could you please stop showing off already? Everyone knows your incredible skills!

...

White Mansion.

After King Snake fled, the group didn't dwell on it too much.

Invited by Bai Suzhen, they entered the White Mansion for a gathering.

The mansion was expansive, with luxurious facilities like gardens, lotus ponds, and courtyards.

However, they knew it was all created through magic—if the spell wore off, it would either become a graveyard or a barren "mansion."

"Suzhen, your home is so spacious! We came empty-handed—won't your father and mother be upset?" Qin Shou asked with a mischievous look.

Li Mu: "..."

Enough already! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

We can't handle this anymore!

Bai Suzhen covered her mouth and smiled: "Han Wen, don't worry—only Xiaoqing and I live here."

"Oh? Really? I didn't know Suzhen was a wealthy lady..."

"Ahem, Brother Xu, why were those villains targeting you?" Li Mu quickly changed the subject, interrupting Qin Shou's dangerous banter.

Qin Shou glanced at Li Mu and replied, "Oh, I don't know why either. I heard them mentioning something about threatening a snake. I found it strange—I'm just a poor scholar; who could I possibly threaten?" He shook his head and sighed appropriately.

Hearing this, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing exchanged a look, coldness gleaming in their eyes.

King Snake truly had sinister intentions. But how did they know I was interested in Xu Xian?

Bai Suzhen was puzzled.

Just then, Qin Shou's sudden exclamation broke her train of thought.

"Wow, these lotus leaves are enormous! Tonight, I'll make some beggar's chicken for you all."

Bai Suzhen looked curious: "Han Wen, you know how to cook?"

"Of course! My mother taught me early on—poor kids learn to take responsibility early. Knowing how to cook makes it easier for one's wife later on..."

"Oh, I wonder which lucky girl will have this fortune." Bai Suzhen's pretty face showed anticipation.

"Splash..."

In the next moment, water sprayed from the pond, soaking Bai Suzhen thoroughly as Qin Shou dove in to retrieve lotus flowers.

Bai Suzhen: "..."

Li Mu: "..."

Sigh, instead of having Mr. Qin play the role of Xu Xian, they should have chosen me!

At least I'm not a straight shooter.

...

Faraway mountains, King Snake gritted his teeth, glaring at the virtual screen in front of him, cursing incessantly.

"Damn it! That bastard Li Mu dared to sabotage me—I won't let this go..."

Seeing the cheerful camaraderie between Li Mu and the others at Bai Suzhen's mansion, he was outraged.

A perfectly planned match—where did it all go wrong?

Now he was the last one left in his squad, facing an impossible victory alone.

Either admit defeat and leave this world, or wait for time to pass.

"Argh, damn White Snake! How dare she lay her hands on my master—I'm so furious!!"

Just then, a cute yet ferocious voice startled King Snake from behind, sending chills down his spine.

"Who's there?"

He turned quickly, only to see a petite girl in a snow-white dress staring at his virtual screen, her lips pursed as she clenched her fists with a hostile expression.

Glancing at the dragon horn atop her head, King Snake recalled the Little White Dragon he'd seen at West Lake.

"You... you're from the Dragon Clan!" King Snake stepped back cautiously.

"Hmph, none of your business! Let me see what's happening in the mansion, quickly!" Zhi Yin demanded impolitely.

Humiliation surged within King Snake, his face darkened: "Do you dare to teach me to..."

"Bang!!"

A pale fist struck instantaneously, carrying unstoppable force as it slammed into his face. Dizzy and disoriented, King Snake lost consciousness almost immediately.

Zhi Yin snorted coldly, yanked away King Snake's surveillance device, stretched leisurely, then grabbed the back of his neck and hurled him into the sky, where he quickly disappeared over the horizon.

"Hmph, he wouldn't listen—forcing me to get physical."

Zhi Yin raised her chin proudly, continuing to observe the situation inside the mansion while cursing intermittently.

...

Gold Mountain Monastery.

The handsome monk had just prepared to set out to subdue monsters when a streak of brilliance flashed across the sky above him, causing his eyes to widen in fury.

"Hmph, what kind of demon dares to fly over Buddha's head? Witness my Great Mighty Dragon!"
