Mingchao: The Survival Journey of a Comedian

Chapter 10: Not dead, don't scream.

After a long and arduous journey, I finally arrived at the scene. But what I saw was a hideously ugly, inhuman creature about to force his handsome, dashing, and charming child...

Enraged, he flung his sword at the enemy, luckily his aim was excellent and it struck just in time.

"Hey! You bastard..."

"He's under my protection."

"Understand?"

He leaped to his feet, landing opposite Xia Cai, his eyes icy cold, and he ruthlessly warned his opponent to stop immediately.

Xia Cai was naturally unhappy that her good time had been interrupted. Hearing this young upstart dare to speak like that, her already haggard face became even more sullen.

"General Geshu...another outsider has arrived..."

"I'll come and keep you company after I've dealt with him, okay?"

Xia Cai's eerie face twisted 360 degrees, looking tenderly at Ge Shulin, then turned back 360 degrees, her hand gradually gathering power, ready to strike at any moment.

The effects of the drug in Geshulin's body had completely taken hold, but even so, he kept his eyes tightly closed, not wanting to give the other person even a glance.

"Be careful……"

Mo Wunian naturally sensed that something was wrong with this place, but since he wasn't a Resonator and his cultivation technique had a purifying effect, the medicine had absolutely no effect on him.

The entity before him was at most a giant wave, which he could easily handle in his current state.

"Suffer to death!"

He summoned his sword back, held it in his hand, and charged forward.

However, the opponent was clearly also a speed-type player, and the two were evenly matched, which was a pity...

His attack power is even stronger!

In the next instant, he imbued the sword in his hand with a layer of energy, pulled it back slightly, and then flung it out, striking his opponent's lower limbs and severing them instantly.

The moment his opponent recovered, he swiftly and forcefully plunged his sword into the opponent's chest, then kicked him away. Xia Cai, like a kite with a broken string, crashed against the wall before falling to the ground.

"That's all you've got. You think you can kidnap my family with this little bit of strength?"

He brandished his sword and looked at his opponent with disdain.

He estimated that if the other party didn't use such underhanded drugs, Xiao Bai alone would be enough to handle the situation.

"All you can do is use these dirty tricks. What other methods do you have...? I won't let you use them. Die!"

Seeing Xia Cai leap towards him, he was about to raise his sword to kill her, but he didn't expect that she had actually set up a smokescreen—as his sword grazed her head, she chose to use her hand as a shield to protect her head, while the real target was Ge Shulin on his left!

"!!! Damn it! No sportsmanship at all!"

Finally, his sword stopped in front of his opponent—stopped at Geshulin's neck.

Seeing Xia Cai using Ge Shulin as a shield, he frowned, his sword trembled slightly, but he steadied himself again.

"You freaking... using the person you like as a shield, how can you have the nerve?"

But as it turns out, talking about shame to a monster is useless. Hearing this, Xia Cai laughed even harder, the severed limbs emerging from her back slowly gripping his sword, then violently pulling it forward.

This action startled him so much that he quickly summoned his sword back into his spatial storage; had he been a second slower, it would have been Geshulin who died.

"To die together with the one you love... isn't that a kind of happiness too?"

Ge Shulin could only helplessly be held in the other's arms, watching as Mo Wunian put away his weapon, his heart filled with both anger and sorrow.

This situation again... this situation again...

He hated it! He hated this feeling of helplessness!

If he had known that this would happen after he survived, he would have preferred to have been stabbed to death by the Crownless Man right then and there.

"Idiot! What are you doing here?!"

"Attack! Put your weapon away! Did you get knocked silly by a pufferfish?!"

"Do it!"

He was forcibly pulled into someone's arms and slammed hard. The spikes on the other person's body pierced his shoulder, but the intense pain only made his consciousness clearer.

"General, seeing how much you care about the other person makes me so sad..."

"I'll give you a little punishment then~"

"You f***ing bastard! If you're so capable, why don't you put him down for a fair 1v1 duel!"

Seeing the other person injured, Mo Wunian panicked, cold sweat pouring down his forehead—he never expected that one day he would encounter such a scenario that only appeared in novels.

"No way! I'd rather die with the general!"

"Or...you die."

"Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Ge Shulin's eyes betrayed his panic, and he hurriedly tried to stop him. But the person restraining him clearly didn't see it that way, and thrust his other shoulder through again.

Seeing that Ge Shulin had been poked in the shoulder again, Mo Wunian immediately stopped him, slowly took a few steps back, and spoke in a forcedly friendly manner.

"Madam...we can talk this over..."

"You should rest for a bit first, don't be so nervous..."

Xia Cai's half-splitting smile never left her face, and it became even more terrifying when the other party took the initiative to ingratiate themselves.

"That's good then~ Let's talk things over properly."

On the surface, he's all smiles, but inside he's cursing and screaming.

If they weren't in your hands, who would want to have a proper talk with you!

He tried to calm himself down and analyzed the situation... only to find it was an unsolvable predicament.

His teleportation ability was still on cooldown, and it would take at least another day or two. The opponent's speed wasn't much slower than his, and if he made the first move, Ge Shulin would probably be the first to die. Not to mention, the opponent still had residual drugs on her. Even if he managed to rescue Ge Shulin from her, the residual drugs wouldn't be able to move, and he might become a hostage again during the battle...

(I’m convinced!)

The task was more difficult than he had imagined; how to save the other while both of them survived—that was a good question.

"How about we talk this over? You put the other person down, and I'll let you go?"

I tentatively tried to speak to the other party, but for now, I can only stall for time and take it one step at a time.

"No! The general can only be mine!"

He was so angry that his temples throbbed: If anyone ever dares to say anything good about being a yandere to him again, he'll kick that person to death on the spot!

Geshulin knew he couldn't intervene under these circumstances, and the two consecutive attacks made it difficult for him to breathe, his breathing becoming rapid and labored.

"...Go...don't worry about me..."

"Xiao Bai, stop talking, I'm scared to see you vomit blood."

Watching the other person bleed profusely, he was terrified: he feared that in the end, before the person could be saved, the other person would bleed to death first.

Having no other choice, he had to lay everything out in the open and get straight to the point.

"What will it take for you to let him go? If he really dies, you won't get anything out of it."

Xia Cai stood silently in place, her gradually twisting fingers unconsciously tracing the neck of Ge Shulin. The strokes seemed gentle, but they left deep marks on that fragile neck.

"!this……"

Looking at the spikes that had been flung at his feet, a mixture of unease and doubt crept into his heart. He lowered his voice and asked...

Then, the words spoken by the other party in a calm yet slightly aggrieved tone stunned him on the spot, and also caused the kidnapped Ge Shulin's mind to go blank for a moment.

"Here's what we'll do... every time you follow my command, you'll stab yourself with my spikes..."

"How about I take one step closer to you?"

Before Mo Wunian could respond, Ge Shulin, who was the first to react, immediately shook his head and shouted at the person in front of him with all his might.

"Mo Wunian! If you really dare to believe her, none of us will survive!"

"Do it! Ignore what she says!"

"If you really dare to do that... I... I..."

He suddenly stopped talking. For so long, his life had been kept alive by that person. He had no right to say these things to that person.

This time, Xia Cai didn't stop them. Instead, she watched the situation with great interest, her eyes narrowing.

Without being reminded, Mo Wunian realized what was happening and glared angrily at the other person.

"No, big sister!"

"Do you think this makes sense?"

Xia Cai shook her head dismissively, but from an extremely tricky angle, she allowed Mo Wunian to clearly see the sharp spike at the back of Ge Shulin's brain.

"!!!"

Okay, okay, he chickened out! He admits defeat!

He crouched down and picked up the sharp thorn, which was about as thick as his arm, from the ground, gripping it tightly.

"Mo Wunian! You..."

"Hahaha……"

Xia Cai laughed, a laugh tinged with arrogance and delight. The laughter echoed throughout the camp before finally subsiding. She narrowed her eyes, a smile playing on her lips, and looked at Mo Wunian.

Mo Wunian felt utterly aggrieved and gritted his teeth: It was too frustrating. He, a transmigrator, had been here for over a month, and yet he was still being threatened to this extent by a mere monster.

I have disgraced myself as a time traveler.

"...Then I also have a request."

"Your step distance must be no less than 75 centimeters."

He chuckled. If the opponent's move was only a tiny fraction of a second, he would have suffered a terrible loss.

He was also taking a gamble—gambling that the other person also valued their life and would agree to his request.

"This request is no problem at all~ Then..."

"let's start!"

Xia Cai took a step closer to him, and the two were only a few meters apart.

"I've done it... So what's next..."

"Then please stab your right shoulder!"

A deathly silence fell over the scene; only the sounds of rapid breathing and heartbeats could be heard.

"Mo Wunian...you!"

This tense atmosphere lasted only a moment before Geshulin watched helplessly as his opponent raised the sharp spike in his hand and plunged it viciously into his shoulder.

Blood splattered and came into his view.

"Damn it! It hurts like hell..."

Mo Wunian couldn't control his expression either; his features were contorted in pain—he didn't even dare to use the healing technique.

If the other party finds out, then everything will have to start all over again.

"Idiot! Nobody will survive if this happens!"

"I don't want you to save me!!! Do it!"

Xia Cai's smile vanished instantly, and she glared at Mo Wunian with displeasure.

"It's still an eyesore after all..."

"General, I'm getting jealous."

Geshulin was powerless to struggle and could only look up at Xia Cai with hatred in his eyes—if looks could kill, Xia Cai would probably have been chopped into mincemeat.

"Ah... General..."

But it seemed to have triggered some hidden attribute in the other party, and the heart in Xia Cai's eyes became even more obvious.

"Damn it, are you going to talk or not?!"

"And doing it to a minor is illegal!"

He clutched the wound on his shoulder, his face pale as he looked at the other person.

He breathed a sigh of relief after drawing Xia Cai's attention back to him.
