Become A Protagonist 2's
Chapters. 07 - Creating Distance

Yin Zhen gasped in shock as soon as his human puppet was defeated by Liu Zhang Chen. Instantly, his attention was turned towards the dense forest that was near them. ”It would be a great mistake if I made the incarnation of the Earth Emperor to defeat an incarnation of the Heaven General. After this, I had to buy a lot of time. That person was moving here.” Inner Yin Zhen who looked serious as soon as he felt the air of strength belonging to Liu Zhang Chen who increasingly felt.

”What's up? You're looking at something there?” xiao Qing Xuan asked who was astonished by the attention that Yin Zhen had been aiming for ever since.

Yin Zhen turned his head back towards him and said, ”... Can we go now?”

Xiao Qing Xuan blinked for a few times as she felt astonished by all of her words. ”... Uh, I can't take you away. I have to go back to Huanxu.”

Yin Zhen immediately said, ”I know the fastest way to get to Huanxu. Therefore, come with me!” he said that directly pulled Xiao Qing Xuan's hand and ran away from the house.

”What really happened? Why are you in such a hurry?” asked Xiao Qing Xuan who looked astonished.

”There's a crazy monster heading this way. His level is even comparable to yours. If you keep fighting him, then you will die at the hands of the monsters that are there.” Yin Zhen explained which made Xiao Qing Xuan even more confused.

”Monster what? I have absolutely no sense of hatred around here.” mumbled Xiao Qing Xuan who continued to follow where Yin Zhen had taken him away.

While this is at the same time. Liu Zhang Chen who had returned to the mansion felt extremely shocked after he did not see Xiao Qing Xuan's whereabouts there. His left hand clenched tightly while his right hand held a small Zhi Shuang. His expression looked solemn and was eyeing anyone who had walked here.

”Nothing happened here. Do the two not attack each other? Her power was not felt either. That person must have deliberately kept me from finding him! Actually, what was he planning at the moment?!” inner Liu Zhang Chen while gritting his teeth in annoyance.

Zhi Shuang's small hand suddenly touched his chest. He was shocked and immediately looked at Zhi Shuang who was still in his hands.

”Why is sister so angry? Brother made me cold.” said Zhi Shuang with glowing eyeballs.

Liu Zhang Chen instantly turned his attention and replied, ”Go back to sleep! I'm looking for someone.”

”Indeed, who is sister looking for at the moment?” asked Zhi Shuang who then pointed to the dirty floor. ”... There! There was a former power that belonged to the incarnation of the Black Devil. The color is very black and scary. There are also traces of power belonging to the incarnation of the Earth Emperor that look beautiful and pleasant. Before they left, the two had a chance to talk to each other familiarly.”

Liu Zhang Chen looked surprised after Zhi Shuang explained everything that had happened in this place. ”... Are those your real abilities?” liu Zhang Chen asked as he looked towards Zhi Shuang.

Little Zhi Shuang nodded yes even though his face looked frightened after he saw Liu Zhang Chen's expression. ”I can read the situation that happened an hour ago through the traces of strength left behind. My teacher said it was an ability that was also possessed by the Earth Emperor incarnation.”

”Then, where are they currently?”

Zhi Shuang shook his head. ”... Their distance is too far. The incarnation of the Earth Emperor who went with him had already erased the trace of their power.”

Liu Zhang Chen looked seriously and noticed the forked road that was in front of him at the moment. ”... Then where am I going now? Why do I always leave without giving her anything just in case?” inner Liu Zhang Chen who felt guilty.

Zhi Shuang looked confused and asked, ”... What do you feel when you blame yourself? Brother seems to be very worried about the Black Demon Incarnation. Is he an important person?”

Liu Zhang Chen was silent for a while before he finally replied, ”Yes, he is a very important person.”

Liu Zhang Chen looked sadly at Zhi Shuang while saying, ”Because of me, he has to suffer even more deeply. For that, I really want to protect her.”

”Ah! He stopped?!” inner Yin Zhen who had not sensed the existence of power belonged to Liu Zhang Chen who was chasing them.

”Yin Zhen! In front of you!” xiao Qing Xuan shouted as he saw a huge tiger was about to pounce on the two of them.

Yin Zhen instantly took out a spell paper directed at the tiger earlier. After the spell paper stuck to the tiger's stomach, the magical beast exploded, becoming bits of flesh flying everywhere. Strangely enough, not a single drop of blood hit their clothes.

”How can he do it?” inner Xiao Qing Xuan who looked astonished after seeing Yin Zhen carry out his attack.

Yin Zhen turned his head towards him with a serious look so that it made Xiao Qing Xuan appear extremely shocked after looking at him. ”... It's dangerous to spend the night in the woods. We better find a bunch of villagers.”

”Uhh,... Scary. His gaze was really piercing. It was best not to anger him.” Inner Xiao Qing Xuan instantly distracted him.

Yin Zhen turned his head to one side while the two were still in the middle of the forest. He heard the voices of the crowd talking to each other. Not far from where they stand, there is a small market and a village called Dianwu Village.

”We will go to the inn in Dianwu.” village said Yin Zhen.

Xiao Qing Xuan directly replied, ”But, I have no money to pay for it.”

Yin Zhen turned to her and smiled, ”... Just chill. I have money to pay for it. Think of it as a thank you for being friends with me.”

Xiao Qing Xuan was speechless and looked at him awkwardly.

Meanwhile, the visibly annoyed Liu Zhang Chen had killed a number of undead controlled by someone. Plus he had to protect Zhi Shuang who could do nothing against his enemy. Tired and the day was getting late, Liu Zhang Chen leaned against a sturdy tree whose leaves were dense. He sat down and held his sword which was covered in blood.

”Where did that guy take him away? Really troublesome!” murmured Liu Zhang Chen who looked extremely angry.

Zhi Shuang walked up to her and gave her a blossoming tabebuya. ”... Brother doesn't have to worry about the person you have in mind. She's doing just fine. Brother should be worried about the Earth Emperor Incarnation that was with him.”

Liu Zhang Chen picked up the tree trunk and said, ”No. That guy is very dangerous. It was possible that he was the first incarnation of Earth Emperor. Incarnation capable of controlling the living corpses to attack others.”

”But, can't the incarnation of the Black Devil do it too? Like my sister said. Our incarnation Earth Emperor was at the very bottom among the three Incarnations of legend. So, why worry about it? I'm sure big brother can also beat that guy.”

Liu Zhang Chen pulled a smile and touched Zhi Shuang's head as he said, ”... Youre right. I was worried about him too much. It's been very night. Maybe we should just go back.”
