1427 Universe Explorer! (2)

Ren Gulan went silent. Her gaze started flickering.

Does he have an astonishing background? Is that why he’s fearless?

“Looks like you won’t give me a truthful answer. Sigh, I guess I’ll need to waste some effort.” Wang Teng sighed. A crimson and eerie glow flashed in his eyes. He then shouted, “Look at me.”

Ren Gulan looked into his eyes instinctively.

Boom!

Her eyes immediately became dull. She was a cosmos warrior; her spirit was only at the celestial realm. It was the same realm as Wang Teng’s but he was much stronger. Soon, she fell into his bewitching skill.

“Tell me, aside from you, who else knows about this planet?” Wang Teng asked again.

“No one knew. We came in secret,” Ren Gulan replied, this time honestly.

Wang Teng nodded. It was consistent with the information given by her men. He continued, “How did you discover this planet?”

“Varian told me. He discovered an ancient diary with the coordinates to get here,” Ren Gulan replied.

Varian widened his eyes in astonishment.

What is this?

Why is she being so cooperative?

Based on her character, she wouldn’t be as honest. Something was definitely wrong.

“Are you Varian?” A voice was heard next to him.

The man with glasses was shocked; he turned and looked at their questioner, who had an eerie crimson light in his eyes. His head became numb and he jumped in fright. He wanted to look away, but it was too late.

Varian felt his consciousness quickly fall into an abyss.

“Yes, I’m Varian,” he replied like an automaton.

“You discovered that diary?” Wang Teng asked.

“Yes, I discovered it. However, I didn’t get it from someone; it was handed down by my ancestor. I lied to her… I just wanted to use her team and power to explore this planet,” Varian said.

“Huh?” Wang Teng was surprised. Then, he smiled and said, “Interesting. A rebel.”

He thought for a moment and removed Ren Gulan’s bewitchment.

The haze in her eyes disappeared as she regained her consciousness. After a moment of confusion, she stared at Wang Teng with a mix of anger and astonishment. “What did you do to me?”

“Don’t worry, I just asked you a few questions.” Wang Teng smiled. He waved a hand and continued, “Come, I have an interesting story to tell you.”

“What do you want?” Ren Gulan furrowed her brow.

The young man ignored her and asked Varian to repeat what he said.

The latter couldn’t resist; he obediently repeated his confession.

Ren Gulan’s expression turned ugly. She gritted her teeth and spat the words. “Varian! How dare you lie to me!”

Wang Teng glanced at her and smirked. Then, he continued to question Varian, “What are your plans after your visit to planet Light Velvet?”

“I drugged Ren Gulan and the others. Once the time is right, I can easily make them lose their abilities to resist.

“Ren Gulan is a b**tch. She keeps ordering me around and treats me like an idiot. I’ve had enough.

“Once I find the treasure, I will have her experience my power,” Varian said emotionlessly.

His words were filled with hatred towards his beautiful leader, but his tone was monotonous. The whole scene was bizarre.

Ren Gulan was shocked and enraged. She looked at Varian and felt her heart tremble.

What kind of sinister ability is this? He’s able to make anyone reply without any resistance. Was I in the same state just now?

Ren Gulan’s face turned pale.

Wang Teng had turned into a human-shaped devil in her eyes.

Wang Teng glanced at Ren Gulan and asked curiously, “How are you planning to make her see your power?”

“I have a big bat. I will make sure she cries for her mommy.” Varian sniggered monotonously.

“Pfft…” Wang Teng burst out laughing. His expression turned strange.

This fellow is ingenious!

He glanced at Ren Gulan. Honestly, the young lady was quite pretty. Her black battle uniform flattered her shapely figure.

Her cold and distant aura made people want to conquer her.

Varian was a brute. How could he have such perverse thoughts towards his lady boss?

“Bastard!” Ren Gulan’s face turned green in anger. Her gaze was as sharp as a blade; she wished she could tear the fellow to pieces.

“You should thank me for exposing him.” Wang Teng smiled.

“Hmph, you’re not a good person either,” Ren Gulan scoffed.

“Haha, you’re sharp. At least you know I’m a bad guy.” Wang Teng laughed.

“You!” Ren Gulan was indignant.

This fellow is fearless.

Wang Teng ignored her to ask Varian a few more questions. He was relieved to find that no one else knew about the planet.

He removed the spell so the fellow regained his consciousness.

Varian was a little confused at first. He was roused by a killing intent fixed onto him the moment he regained composure. He turned and saw that Ren Gulan was staring at him as if ready to kill him.

“Leader, why are you looking at me like this?” Varian stuttered. His heart dropped.

“My lad, you were exposed.” Wang Teng patted his shoulder.

“What did you do to me?” The other exclaimed with fear and anger. He suddenly remembered what happened before he lost consciousness.

“Nothing. I just asked you a few questions and you revealed your entire plan. You can’t blame that on me.” The young hero shrugged innocently.

Varian’s expression froze.

He had the bad feeling he had said something he shouldn’t. The corners of his eyelids twitched as he glanced at Ren Gulan with guilt.

One look at her expression and he knew he was a goner.

Varian swallowed his saliva and made a last effort to struggle. “Leader, let me explain.”

“Do you think I’d believe you?” Ren Gulan mocked.

“Fight slowly. I’ll keep you guys alive since no one else knows about this planet.” Wang Teng got up and prepared to leave.

“Wait,” Varian suddenly shouted.

“What else do you have to say?” Wang Teng stopped and turned.

“Planet Light Velvet is not the only place recorded in the diary left by my ancestors. There are other strange planets, too. Let me go; I can guide you to those places,” the captive said.

“Oh?!” Wang Teng was surprised.

“I’m not lying. My ancestors were universe explorers. They loved to visit unknown lands, and they came across many interesting planets,” Varian continued. He was afraid that Wang Teng would doubt him.

“Universe explorers!” Wang Teng repeated.

“Wang Teng, he might be telling the truth if it’s about universe explorers.” Round Ball’s alarmed tone rang in Wang Teng’s mind.

“What do you know about universe explorers?” Wang Teng asked.

“Just like he said, universe explorers have a great thirst for knowledge. They love to explore the universe and find unknown grounds. They roam all corners of the universe and many of them have left numerous legends behind,” Round Ball said emotionally. The little one respected those experts.

The young hero blinked, feeling startled. He didn’t know about their existence.

He looked at Varian and asked, “Where’s the diary?”

“The diary is in the virtual universe. It’s not a real object; I’m the only one who can open it,” Varian said nervously. He was afraid that their captor would kill him once he outlived his usefulness.

“He might be telling the truth. The items in the virtual universe are mostly linked to a user’s soul. Outsiders can’t use them,” Round Ball said.

Wang Teng pondered for a while. He exited the cave after saying, “Stay here. I’ll come and find you after I settle some matters.”
