Chapter 176: Lifesaving Favor
Chapter 176: Lifesaving Favor
"Alright, alright, that's enough." Seeing Wu You still venting her energy inside the car, almost wrecking it, Li Qian hurriedly spoke up to persuade her.
It had been almost half an hour, and even though beastmasters in the beast taming world generally had stronger physical abilities due to their contract feedback, this kind of beating was still too much.
Moreover, Xu Yue's background was clearly not simple. As Gao Yahxin's senior and a member of a beast taming aristocratic family, it would be difficult to resolve the situation if things got out of hand.
At this point, it was enough. Li Qian believed that this lesson would be deeply ingrained and memorable for a long time.
Although Wu You was fierce in combat, she still had a sense of restraint and wasn't a reckless fool. She understood social etiquette.
Hearing Li Qian, Wu You took a deep breath and climbed out of the car, stretching her limbs. She let out a satisfied sound, "It's been a long time since I've had such a good fight."
"That's enough. If we stay any longer, the law enforcement officers will arrive." Li Qian couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth when he heard these words.
What kind of talk was this? Could she not be so fierce? Her words made his teeth chatter, like a caged beast that had been trapped for too long without release.
Li Qian took a long look at Wu You, feeling that he should keep a good distance from this Wing Clan woman in the future.
Otherwise, he might get accidentally injured without knowing it.
After thoroughly teaching Xu Yue a lesson, the two of them left the scene without lingering.
Once they were gone, the bald man, the bearded man, and the braided woman all breathed a sigh of relief. "That she-devil has finally left."
They cautiously approached and examined the car, and when they saw the nearly unrecognizable state it was in, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
It looked as if a terrible car accident had occurred.
"What should we do now?" The braided woman pointed at Xu Yue, who was trapped inside the car and had already passed out.
"We should get him out as soon as possible. If this guy dies here, we'll be in deep trouble." The bearded man frowned and spoke his thoughts.
"Yeah, if we get caught by the law enforcement officers, we won't have a good outcome either," the bald man agreed.
The three of them endured the pain and immediately took action. Together, they pulled Xu Yue out of the car.
At this moment, Xu Yue's condition could only be described as disfigured. Even his own mother might not recognize him.
If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have looked like a corpse.
After dragging Xu Yue out of the car, they laid him on the roadside like a dead fish. After making an emergency call, the three of them quickly drove away from the scene in the undamaged car.
Once everyone had left, Xu Yue, lying on the ground with his body feeling like it had fallen apart, twitched at the corner of his eye. A tear of grievance slowly rolled down his cheek.
"How did you end up there?" On the way to the spacecraft base, Li Qian glanced at Wu You and asked.
"I already told you, I've had enough of playing in Ya Xin's breeding facility. I didn't want to stay any longer, so I left," Wu You casually explained.
Li Qian shook his head, not wanting to probe further. Many things were too coincidental—he had just left, and she followed right after.
When he encountered danger, she happened to appear, as if it had all been planned.
However, since Wu You didn't want to elaborate, Li Qian didn't want to press the issue. He turned to the Wing Clan woman before him and sincerely said, "Regardless, I still want to thank you. If it wasn't for your timely appearance, I would have been in a lot of trouble."
There was a hint of flattery in his words, but in reality, even if Wu You hadn't intervened, those three idiots wouldn't have gotten away with it, and he wouldn't have faced any trouble either.
"I just happened to be there and lent a hand. Moreover, you saved me before, so this time, I'm repaying your lifesaving favor." Wu You said indifferently.
"Then we're even." Li Qian chuckled and continued the conversation, "No!" Li Qian said, but Wu You shook her head firmly, "We can't calculate it like that!"
"Although I helped you this time, I guess that even without my assistance, you would have safely gotten through this crisis." Wu You said with a serious expression, "This can't be compared to the lifesaving favor from before."
"Uh..." Li Qian was momentarily at a loss for words after hearing this, because the Wing Clan woman's words made a lot of sense.
Indeed, it couldn't be simply equated.
"Where are you headed next?" Li Qian didn't dwell on the matter and directly changed the topic.
"If nothing unexpected happens, my destination will be Zhonghai City," Wu You replied.
Li Qian smiled and responded, "That's right. Our original destination was Zhonghai City, but due to the unexpected incident, we ended up in this Southern Capital."
"Your destination should also be Zhonghai City, right?" The Wing Clan woman asked, and Wu You nodded. "Will you make it in time for your starship flight?"
Hearing this, Li Qian shook his head regretfully, "Because of this mess, I don't think I can make it today."
Wu You glanced at Li Qian and said calmly, "It's fine. I bought two unnamed starship tickets, and if we hurry now, we should still be able to catch it."
Li Qian was taken aback. Unnamed starship tickets were something ordinary people couldn't even dream of buying.
He had long known that this Wing Clan woman had an extraordinary background, but the power she casually displayed still surprised him.
After a moment of realization, Li Qian scratched his head, "Ah, about that, I'm so sorry."
"It's nothing. Compared to the lifesaving favor, these things are insignificant," Wu You waved her hand, bringing up the lifesaving favor again. Li Qian felt that this "lifesaving favor" would likely haunt him for a long time.
"By the way, what are you going to Zhonghai City for?" As the taxi drove straight towards the starship base, after a brief silence, Wu You continued, "I'm not trying to pry into your secrets, but my family lives there. If you don't have a fixed itinerary, I can help you with the arrangements."
Li Qian quickly shook his head in refusal, "No, no, I just graduated from high school and am traveling to broaden my horizons. I'll just go with the flow."
After witnessing the extraordinary side of this Wing Clan woman, Li Qian's attitude towards her was one of respect and distance.
He didn't want to get too entangled.
Through the previous incident of the Black God Sect cultist's attack, Li Qian realized that getting too involved with this Wing Clan woman might lead to more unforeseen circumstances.
Her Wing Clan identity was the biggest source of trouble.
