Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2467: Chapter 2468: The Visitor Has Hostile Intentions

And he perfectly adhered to his duties, working tirelessly and protecting the Mengzhu Tribe as if it were an impregnable fortress.

As a result, he was highly respected within the Mengzhu Tribe, especially by his soldiers who revered him like a deity.

So, when they saw their esteemed Squadron Leader standing there with a sullen expression, staring intently at Mengzhu Nasa, who was chatting and laughing with Xue An in the distance, they were all indignant.

Almost everyone in the Mengzhu Tribe knew that Mengzhu Xiong had always loved Mengzhu Nasa deeply, and the soldiers naturally knew as well.

Because of this, they were all the more furious.

"It’s infuriating. Back when the Squadron Leader heard that the Holy Maiden had been ambushed by the people from the Hegemon-Wu Tribe, leading her into the mountains with no news, he was nearly frantic! Without waiting for an order from the Clan Leader, he led us out to search, and what did we get? The Holy Maiden brought back an unknown youth and showed such intimacy with him—that’s a slap to our Squadron Leader’s face!" someone muttered in anger.

"Exactly! We struggled outside for several days, only returning tonight, and yet the Holy Maiden merely thanked the Squadron Leader, without any other gesture, while treating that youth with such distinction. The difference is too stark!" someone echoed nearby.

"The crucial part is that both the Clan Leader and the High Priest value this youth greatly, claiming he saved the Holy Maiden, yet he looks tender and weak, not like any expert at all. Surely, something’s not right here!"

The soldiers chatted boisterously among themselves, their words laced with dissatisfaction towards the Clan Leader and the Holy Maiden.

After all, in their view, both they and the Squadron Leader had exhausted themselves finding Mengzhu Nasa’s whereabouts, yet no one appreciated their efforts. Instead, they favored an outsider, which naturally bred resentment.

"Enough!"

At this moment, Mengzhu Xiong’s deep voice cut through the chatter, silencing the soldiers as they turned to look at him.

"The Clan Leader and the Holy Maiden have their reasons for what they do. It’s not for you to discuss," Mengzhu Xiong said sternly.

"But Squadron Leader..." A soldier behind him protested.

"No more words are needed. I understand what you’re thinking, but you are forbidden from mentioning these things again!"

With that, Mengzhu Xiong cast a stern glance at the soldiers behind him.

"Yes!" they echoed in unison.

Then Mengzhu Xiong took a deep breath, grabbed a wine jug from a nearby table, and strode toward Mengzhu Nasa.

At that moment, Mengzhu Nasa was blinking her bright eyes, smiling as she said, "Thank you so much just now!"

"Thank me for what?"

"I thought you wouldn’t drink that cup of wine."

"Why wouldn’t I drink it?"

"Because everyone knows that our Jingman Clan is most skilled at manipulating various insect curses, so hardly anyone dares drink our wine, and some even fear to contact us!"

Xue An smiled slightly, "So, tell me, was there any insect curse in that cup of wine I drank just now?"

Seeing Xue An’s smile, Mengzhu Nasa couldn’t help but smile as well, "There was, indeed! And it was the deadly Passion Curse, famously incurable."

Xue An laughed heartily, "Is that so? Then I really am afraid!"

Though he claimed to be afraid, Xue An did not blink and instead picked up another cup of wine and drank. He then quietly looked at the towering bonfire.

Mengzhu Nasa suddenly felt a bit dazed.

Especially when she saw the fire reflected in Xue An’s eyes, her face took on a slightly dreamy expression.

This youth seemed always calm and composed.

It seemed that as long as he stood there, nothing in the world could be challenging.

At least, at that moment, Mengzhu Nasa felt very secure.

If only... she could always stand beside him.

As soon as she entertained this thought, even the straightforward Jingman maiden couldn’t help blushing.

Then, Mengzhu Xiong walked through the crowd, arriving at the scene, and he was stunned by the blush on Mengzhu Nasa’s face.

In the years he pursued the Holy Maiden, he had tried everything to get close to her.

But no matter what he did, Mengzhu Nasa kept her distance, always polite in speech yet cold and distant.

He had never seen such an expression on Mengzhu Nasa’s face, and combined with her brilliant smile, Mengzhu Xiong felt a sharp pain in his heart, his breath growing faster. Yet he forced a smile and said, "Nasa!"

Mengzhu Nasa’s smile quickly faded upon seeing Mengzhu Xiong, replaced by a polite nod.

"Squadron Leader, is there something you need?"

Squadron Leader...

That title felt like a sword stabbing straight into Mengzhu Xiong’s heart.

His body swayed slightly, and then he forced a difficult smile.

"Nothing, just glad you’re back safe. You don’t know how much effort I put into finding you these days. I even thought of going straight to the Hegemon-Wu Tribe and fighting those bastards!"

By this point, Mengzhu Xiong’s tone turned a bit agitated because that was indeed his thought.

At the time, he was anguished over Mengzhu Nasa’s disappearance, nearly driven mad.

If he hadn’t found her soon, he truly would have led his soldiers to attack the Hegemon-Wu Tribe.

But his earnest words hadn’t moved Mengzhu Nasa, who only nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Squadron Leader; Nasa is truly grateful!"

Again...

Mengzhu Xiong’s heart sank bitterly, and then he turned his gaze to Xue An.

"You must be the Mr. Xue who saved the Holy Maiden. I’m the Squadron Leader of the Mengzhu Tribe. Thank you for your help!"

With that, Mengzhu Xiong stepped forward and extended his hand to Xue An.

Witnessing this, the soldiers squeezed close to Mengzhu Xiong all perked up.

"Here it comes! The Squadron Leader is going to make his move!"

"You bet, that guy is in trouble!"

Not only them, but even the crowd that had been singing and dancing quieted down, focusing on the scene.

Who didn’t know Mengzhu Xiong had always loved Mengzhu Nasa deeply, and anyone could see the sentiment between Mengzhu Nasa and Xue An.

Though somewhat exaggerated, for the Jingman maiden known to love and hate boldly, it wasn’t uncommon.

Thus, conflict naturally escalated.

And now, the way things looked, the Squadron Leader Mengzhu Xiong clearly came with ill intentions!

People pondered privately.

Mengzhu Nasa’s face darkened, "Squadron Leader, what do you mean by this?"
