Caught off guard, Han Shuo immediately felt that his mouth was filled with fragrance. Donna was brimming with passion. She was like a completely different person from her usual solemn self.
Recalling Donna's desperate cries, Han Shuo realized that Donna had lost control of her mind in the illusory realm and had mistaken him for someone else. That was why she acted so rashly.
Han Shuo did not sink deeper into Donna's passionate kiss. He clearly knew that as Donna kissed him, Donna's soul was becoming more and more unstable. At this rate, even Donna might be in danger.
The influence of an illusory realm on a person had little to do with the strength of the person affected. Rather, it forced the person to face the painful past that they were most unwilling to recall. Moreover, the influence of those memories on the person would intensify. Once the person was unable to overcome the knot in their heart, they would sink deeper and deeper into the illusory realm until they were unable to extricate themselves.
Judging from Donna's behavior, her mind must have been disturbed by an unforgettable relationship. In the illusory realm, she had mistaken Han Shuo for a man that she could not forget and could not bear to part with. That was why she was acting so preposterously.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Han Shuo quickly came to his senses. While maintaining the posture of forcing Donna to kiss him, Han Shuo suddenly slapped the back of Donna's head. She softly fainted.
Han Shuo wrapped his arm around Donna's willowy waist and felt her soft and supple body. Without thinking too much, Han Shuo identified the direction and quickly walked out of the formation with Donna.
As soon as he walked out of the formation, Han Shuo saw Li Wei, Bolten, and the others staring at him with their eyes wide open. There were traces of confusion in their eyes.
Although Han Shuo had knocked them out one by one, he did not use any demonic yuan. As they were lowgods with extraordinary strength, as long as they were not affected by the formation, they would quickly regain consciousness. Having just woken up, they were still in a daze, as if they couldn't tell the difference between illusion and reality.
But when they saw Han Shuo walking out of that terrifying formation with his arm around Donna's slender waist, their dazed eyes gradually regained clarity. Li Wei stared blankly for a moment before she suddenly said, "Brian, did you save us again?" The scene of Han Shuo bringing Donna out of the array had already explained the real situation, which was why she asked this question.
"Yes, you were affected by the illusion earlier. I saw that the situation was not good, so I knocked you out one by one and brought you out!" Since they had all seen it, Han Shuo had no need to hide it. Just as he was about to put Donna down, he heard Donna make a soft "Oh" sound. She had already woken up.
"Eh?" Donna cried out in surprise when she saw that Han Shuo had his arm around her slender waist. Her mind quickly turned and she quickly recognized the situation. She immediately asked, "Brian, did you save me?"
Han Shuo smiled when he saw that Donna had woken up. He put her down and apologetically said, "You were also bewitched by the illusion just now. I saw that your emotions were very unstable so I knocked you out."
"It's alright! Thank you! " Donna smiled sweetly. Suddenly, her tender and beautiful face blushed. She seemed to have recalled something and her bright, limpid eyes glanced at the corner of Han Shuo's mouth.
"Ahem!" Han Shuo immediately understood something from the direction of Donna's gaze. He hastily wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. When he lowered his head to take a look, he discovered that there were indeed traces of red on his sleeve. It was the powder Donna applied on her lips.
"Ah … you guys, you guys?" Li Wei's sharp eyes noticed the strange expressions on Han Shuo and Donna's faces. She covered her mouth and cried out in surprise. Disbelief was written all over her face.
With Li Wei's soft exclamation, the others pondered for a moment and soon realized what was going on. Each and every one of them wore strange expressions. Among them, Bowen's face was especially gloomy. His gaze towards Han Shuo became even more hostile.
"This … that … it's not what you guys think!" Donna's face turned even redder as she hastily explained.
Han Shuo also felt somewhat awkward. When he saw that everyone's gaze was focused on him again, he coughed once again and pretended to be natural as he said, "Miss Donna was lost in the illusion and mistook me for someone else. I was in a hurry to rescue her and did not expect that she would do such a thing while she was in a daze …"
"Enough!" Donna embarrassedly interrupted Han Shuo. She swept a glance at Bolten and the others with her bright eyes and chuckled. She then jokingly scolded, "You brats, why are your minds so dirty?"
"Ah …" Li Wei let out a cry of grievance and complained in a low voice, "We didn't say anything!"
"Alright, alright!" Donna glared at Li Wei and said to Han Shuo apologetically, "Anyway, thank you. Please don't take it to heart if I offended you in any way."
"Of course not!" Han Shuo replied in a deadpan manner. He thought to himself, What can I say if you forcefully kissed me? Am I supposed to forcefully kiss you back?
"It's all thanks to Brian this time. It seems that Brian is truly our lucky star!" Bolten once again sighed emotionally. His gaze on Han Shuo grew even more intense. If Han Shuo did not know that Bolten was straight, he would have felt his hair stand on end.
"What a mysterious fella. He actually saved us again!" Li Wei muttered as she stared deeply at Han Shuo.
The first rescue could be considered a fluke, but the second time was no longer an accident. After hearing Li Wei's words, Donna and the others looked at Han Shuo with different gazes.
Han Shuo was unruffled. He did not claim credit nor was he arrogant. He merely smiled and did not say a word. He knew that these people were extremely curious about him. They wondered why he was able to rescue them from such a mysterious and dangerous place time and time again. They wondered why a god from a low-level material plane like him could perform so many miraculous feats.
"What should we do next?" Donna mumbled to herself as she gazed ahead.
In front of them, there were no other demonic formations other than the enormous Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester that was formed by several mountains. Looking at the majestic mountains in front of him and sensing the extremely dense mystical yin aura, Han Shuo felt as though he could see the magnificent feat of a demonic senior with profound magical power altering the laws of heaven and earth with the power to topple mountains and overturn seas.
Han Shuo was momentarily absent-minded as his imagination ran wild. His heart was filled with admiration for that person.
"Bryan, do you think we should go in next?" Donna called out softly when she saw that Han Shuo didn't respond and asked him by name.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he looked at Donna in surprise. He forced a smile and said, "Why are you asking me? You're our leader, so we'll do whatever you say! "
Donna was rather taken aback by Han Shuo's words. She thought, That's right, why would I ask him? I'm the one giving the orders! After thinking about it carefully, Donna suddenly realized that her impression of Han Shuo had unknowingly changed due to the two times that Han Shuo had rescued her. Although Han Shuo's strength was not strong, for some reason, she had begun to view Han Shuo as a peer who could assist her.
"You always have some astonishing feats. Besides, you are very observant. It's only normal that Big Sister Donna would ask for your opinion!" Li Wei did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Perhaps she herself did not realize that her attitude toward Han Shuo had unknowingly undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
"Just tell us your opinion. I believe that no one will dare to disregard your opinion now!" Donna smiled sweetly and looked at Han Shuo expectantly.
Han Shuo looked around and discovered that it was just as Donna had said. Everyone was looking at him expectantly. Even Bowen who showed hostility toward him was waiting for his opinion. No one felt that there was anything inappropriate about it.
Ha, these fellows are really realistic! Han Shuo sighed in his heart. He put on a straight face and said in a deep voice, "Since we have come this far, I believe that no one will back down. Nobody knows what the situation is like up ahead. I believe that only after we go in will we be able to understand everything that has happened here. What do you all think?"
Han Shuo himself wasn't afraid of all the dangers here, and wasn't worried about facing even greater dangers. Therefore, he appeared very calm and didn't let the potential danger affect his mind.
The crowd nodded. Donna agreed and said, "Since that is the case, let us press forward courageously and find out what is happening here."
Everyone acknowledged and was about to enter when Han Shuo suddenly gestured for them to stay put for the time being. He turned around and looked at an unfamiliar demonic formation not far away with a face full of vigilance.
When Donna and the others saw Han Shuo's gesture, they stopped moving and followed Han Shuo's gaze to look in that direction.
A soft gasp sounded from that direction. Under their gazes, a group of four people walked out from the formation in an incomparably sorry state.
Olde, Kelly, Kaiser, and Eriksson were covered in wounds. The wounds were either bone-deep, charred, or rotting and oozing pus. No one knew what they had gone through. Fear still lingered on their faces. They were panting heavily the moment they walked out from the formation. It seemed that even taking a few steps was very difficult. It seemed that they had expended a great deal of divine energy.
"Oh! It's them! "Li Wei exclaimed softly and looked at Donna with a probing gaze.
Bolten, Bowen, and the others were also extremely tempted. They kept turning their heads to urge Donna, hoping that Donna would give the order to attack those people.
It was obvious that Kaiser and the others had all suffered serious injuries. Each of them had expended a great deal of divine energy. Under such circumstances, if Donna and the others were to attack with all their might, it was very likely that they would be able to kill all four of them.
Donna's eyes flickered with hesitation. Donna subconsciously looked at Han Shuo with an inquiring gaze. She immediately noticed that Han Shuo had a grave expression on his face. Under her gaze, he firmly shook his head.
Donna remained silent for a few seconds. Under the attentive gazes of Li Wei, Bolten, and the others, she cried out, "No!"
Li Wei and the others were disappointed but they did not refute her. Instead, they cast doubtful gazes at Han Shuo. It was evident that it was Han Shuo's signal that Donna gave up on her decision to attack immediately.
"That Olde guy isn't as weak as he looks! Miss Donna alone may have the opportunity to kill both Kaiser and Eriksson, but we are no match for Olde even if all of us join forces. Therefore, it's best that we don't act rashly! "Han Shuo explained in a low voice.
As for Kelly of the Druidic Order, he was directly ignored by Han Shuo. In the past, Han Shuo had fought side by side with Kelly and knew that Kelly only possessed demigod strength. After his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, Han Shuo no longer paid any attention to Kelly's demigod strength.
What Han Shuo was certain of was that Kelly was only able to walk out alive thanks to Olde's protection. Otherwise, there was no way Kelly, who was only a demigod, would have survived until now when the four lowgods who came with Kaiser and Eriksson were all gone.
The fact that Olde was able to protect Kelly all the way out alive while still having strength to spare made Han Shuo very apprehensive. Without absolute certainty, Han Shuo would not act rashly.
"How, how come there aren't any casualties?" Caesar, who was panting heavily, raised his head to look. His face was filled with shock as he asked Donna and the others.
Subconsciously, the gazes of Donna and the others fell on Han Shuo. When they saw the situation of those on the other side, they became more and more thankful that Han Shuo was on their side. Having personally experienced the perilous situation, they understood that without Han Shuo, they would have suffered even more miserably than Kaiser and the others.
The four on the other side were all people with extremely keen senses. They immediately discovered the focus of their gazes and were greatly surprised. They were somewhat baffled as to what their survival had to do with a puny lowgod like Han Shuo.
"Let's go. Don't mind them!" Han Shuo softly exclaimed and repeatedly signaled to Donna with his eyes. He could tell that those on the other side were doing their utmost to recover after walking out of the demonic formation.
Donna immediately understood Han Shuo's intention. She hastily signaled to Bolten and the others with her eyes and followed behind Han Shuo towards the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester.
As expected, when Olde, Kaiser, and the others saw Donna and the others enter the formation, none of them dared to continue resting. Under Olde's lead, they hurriedly followed after them.
If they had stayed where they were, those on the other side would have happily recovered their divine energy when they saw that Donna and the others were not moving. The more divine energy they recovered, the more danger Donna and the others would face. However, when Donna and the others ventured deeper into the formation, those on the other side, fearing that Donna and the others would obtain everything in the formation before them, naturally did not dare to linger. That way, they would not be able to recover their divine energy, which would increase the chances of survival for Donna and the others.
"Oh!" Han Shuo suddenly exclaimed as soon as they entered the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester.
"What's going on?" Donna was startled and immediately asked.
"Nothing!" Han Shuo answered hastily. With a strange look on his face, he turned around and said solemnly, "Follow me, don't get lost!"
Donna and the others did not say anything and followed closely behind Han Shuo. Suddenly, the scenery around them changed. Donna and the others found themselves in an unfamiliar stone forest. Behind them, Olde and the others who had just entered were all staring at the direction they had just been in, discussing something in amazement.
While Donna and the others were puzzled, Han Shuo suddenly shouted, "They can't see us. Everyone, get ready. This should be the best opportunity to kill them!"
Lady Donna was surprised. She looked at Han Shuo strangely and thought, "How do you know that those people can't see us? How do you know that this is the best opportunity to kill them? "
