Legendary Ruler
Helping a Girl

On the way to enter the deeper area to do hunting. Han Chen suddenly stopped. He heard the voice of someone who was screaming for help. "Huh...? Am I going crazy ? It seemed like I heard the voice of someone shouting for help", Han Chen said as he turned to the source of the voice earlier.

The sound was coming from the southeast which was a level 5 area. "Do I check ? Who knows there are indeed people in this middle-level area" Han Chen said as he stroked his chin which had yet to grow a beard. After making his decision he jumped from one tree to another. Han Chen went to the southeast to check the voice he heard earlier.

And sure enough, when he got there he saw a group of people in the 5th level area. Han Chen stood on top of a tree trunk some distance away from where they were.

There he saw a 16-year-old girl who was in the fifth level of the Fondation realm. The girl was being cornered by a group of assassins who were at the seventh level Fondation realm. "Ha... Ha... Ha... are you crazy ? no sane person would dare to enter this level 5 area......"

For some reason upon hearing the assassin speaking like that Han Chen felt annoyed. 'Do you think I'm not a sane person ?!' inner Han Chen while clenching his hands in annoyance.

However Han Chen's irritation was sidetracked as he looked at the level six monster named the Black Bear. 'Isn't that the Black Bear I eradicated two days ago. Turns out there is still one tail that escapes his inner.

Han Chen looked at the middle Black Bear leading to the location of the assassins. He immediately began to smile with his lips half raised. 'Hem.. Is this not the situation I always wanted. A girl who is in danger because of her life is targeted by a killer and suddenly comes a monster that kills the killer. The girl who thought she survived the killers but instead her life is now in the hands of the monster..And suddenly comes a mysterious man who saves her in a very cool way of course. Hem.. Hem. wasn't this a very good scenario' Inner Han Chen nodded his head. 'After all the girl is pretty and the mountain is also quite big' Han Chen looked at the girl's posture calmly.

Back to the girl's situation.

As the claws of the bear were almost swung out suddenly came the sound of such a beautiful bell.

(Crincing)

Han Chen darted quickly and slashed the head of the Black Bear. (Slusshh) With one slash from his technique the bear's head fell to the ground. "Are you okay ?" Han Chen asked as he turned his head towards the girl.

Nan Mei was still speechless digesting the situation she had just experienced. He looked up at a man who had just helped him.

"Hey you, are you okay?", Han Chen asked once again to the girl.

Nan Mei who heard the voice from the man instantly came to a realization from his daydream. "Uh. I'm fine".

"Good then I go first" Han Chen said as he sheathed his sword back .

Nan Mei who heard the man was about to leave, she immediately stopped him. "Wait.", Nan Mei called out to the man while raising her hand and trying to grab the man's hand.

"Um..can you take me home I'm afraid that there are still conspirators of assassins who want to kill me" Nan Mei said agitatedly as she looked at the face of her rescuer covered in a fox mask.

"Why should I take you home ? I have no obligation to drive you right?", Han Chen said in a cold tone.

Nan Mei who heard the answer from the man was instantly moody. He began to look for reasons so that the man could drive him home. "You know I'm just a girl in the fifth level of the Fondation realm. And again there's a bunch of killers who're after my life. I was also afraid that a level six monster would suddenly appear before me. Do you have the heart to leave a beautiful and weak girl like me alone in this mid-level area ?". Nan Mei pleaded with a sad tone while rubbing her eyes.

'The acting is too ugly. I won't even act that selebay' Han Chen's inner self while putting on a wry face. As her face was covered in a mask, the girl did not know what expression Han Chen was making.

"I can only take you to the level one area only, if you refuse then I will leave" said Han Chen who felt guilty because the appearance of the Black Bear was due to his own actions. Back then he massacred the Black Bear group and took their cores so that Han Chen could awaken his element of darkness.

Nan Mei who heard the remark from the mysterious man immediately agreed to it. He had no other choice because it was getting dark and with the mysterious man he would be safe from assassins and high-level monsters that would appear in front of him.

"All right, I agree with you".

Without speaking Han Chen directly walked towards the level one area and left the girl behind him.

Nan Mei who was at the residence felt a little annoyed because the mysterious man did not say anything and directly left her. "Hey.wait, why are you playing stay" said Nan Mei as she followed towards the mysterious man.

The two of them walked to the first level area. The atmosphere in the valley was very tense because the day had started at night. Many ferocious beasts began to appear in search of food. Every now and then they encountered a savage beast that blocked the path of the two of them. But it had taken care of him because the beast did not pose a threat to him.

Nan Mei was amazed to see the man before her slashing down on a savage beast so easily like slashing through water. Nan Mei occasionally tried to talk to the man in front of her but the man kept ignoring what Nan Mei said.

Bruck...

"Hey why did you stop, isn't the level 1 area still far away", Nan Mei bumped into the back of the man in front of her who stopped abruptly.

"We will rest here and continue the journey tomorrow morning" Han Chen said as he felt tired. It had been seven days that he had been hunting continuously so that he did not have time to rest.

'What...? Is he kidding ? In the middle of this valley he wanted to rest' the inexhaustible inner Nan Mei thought that the man before her would be this brave.
