[T/N: Tiga Ultraman is kind of like the japanese version of superman]
In a small, unremarkable room in Exalting Sanctum on the Luofu.
The foxian girl lying on the bed moved a little, drowsily opened her eyes, and found that everything around her was pitch black, while she herself was lying on a soft bed.
"Is it still not dawn yet…"
A murmuring full of temptation sounded.
The girl did not grow suspicious. After letting out a small "Mm," she turned over and prepared to continue resting.
The next second...
Her slowly closing eyes suddenly opened wide. She remembered what had happened.
She quickly sat up from the bed and, with the help of the faint moonlight, examined the decorations inside the room.
Although she could not see very clearly, she could confirm this was definitely not her room.
Moreover, she clearly remembered that she had followed the merchant guild's cargo ship out for trade, but on the return trip they were attacked by unknown people.
Feeling the weakness under her body, the girl covered her forehead.
That memory was so clear, there was absolutely no way it could be a dream.
The only explanation was that she had been kidnapped by unknown people.
She had even already figured out the reason why they attacked the merchant ship and kidnapped her.
It was nothing more than seeing that she had a close relationship with Yukong, the Helmsmaster of the Sky-Faring Commission.
They wanted to threaten Yukong with her life and demand a large amount of credits.
"But they didn't put any restrictions on me at all, they really treated me like an ordinary weak girl?"
The girl clenched her fists and looked at the tightly closed door. There was no need to think about it, the door must be locked and impossible to open.
Right now the only thing needed was to quietly wait for those people to come check on her.
At that time she would find a chance to escape, and then think of a way to contact the Luofu and send a distress signal.
With a rough plan forming in her mind, the girl began searching the room for a handy weapon.
In the end she found a kitchen knife in the wardrobe. Although she did not know why a kitchen knife would be placed in a wardrobe, the girl tightly gripped the handle.
She glanced at the clothes inside the wardrobe. There were both men's and women's clothes.
If nothing unexpected happened, she was not the first 'guest' of this house.
"I hope they only kidnapped me and didn't do anything to the others."
The girl crouching in the corner thought this.
One hour passed, and the girl's tense expression slowly relaxed.
Two hours passed, and the girl felt her eyelids and head becoming a bit heavy.
Three hours passed, and the girl grew drowsy…
Thump!
A pitch black figure suddenly appeared in the room. Judging from the outline, it was a man.
Startled by the sound, the girl immediately woke up fully, tightened her grip on the kitchen knife in her hand, and her eyes became fierce.
Seeing the other party stretch lazily without any guard at all, the girl decisively stepped forward and placed the blade against the figure's neck.
In a sharp voice she said, "Who are you! Why did you attack us!"
Looking at the reflective blade in front of him, Levi did not react for a moment to what was going on.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of answering at all, the girl hardened her resolve and pressed the blade closer against his neck.
In a cold voice she said, "If you still don't answer, I'm going to strike!"
After glancing at the empty bed, Levi fell silent for a moment before asking, "What do you want to know."
At the same time his thoughts became active.
The person behind him threatening him was, if nothing unexpected happened, Tingyun after waking up.
And judging by the situation, she had mistaken him for the person who attacked her.
"Don't play dumb with me!"
Tingyun said fiercely on purpose, "I already asked before, who are you, and what do you want from kidnapping me!"
After hearing this, Levi's eyes rolled, and he spoke in an honest villager's tone, "I'm an Ultraman from the M78 Nebula. Everyone calls me Tiga Ultraman. I kidnapped you to make you my wife."
"Huh?"
Tingyun had been listening very seriously to the earlier part.
'M78 Nebula?'
'Never heard of it. Maybe some unknown place.'
'Ultraman?'
'Is that the name of his race?'
Faced with Levi's nonsense, Tingyun actually thought seriously about it for a moment, until she heard the last part.
The fierce expression on her face could no longer be maintained, revealing her most genuine, completely dumbfounded expression.
'Kidnap her… to make her a wife?'
"Hm? To be precise, you're a wife I picked up."
Levi used a finger to press against the blade at his neck and pushed it away slightly with force.
Coming back to her senses and feeling the huge strength in her hand, Tingyun hardened her resolve.
Her arm began to exert force as well, but it was completely useless.
After freeing himself, Levi looked toward the kitchen knife in Tingyun's hand and said, "You dared to threaten me with a knife that isn't even sharpened. Be careful or I'll take you straight into the bridal chamber right now!"
"!!!"
'Not sharpened!'
After confirming that it really was not sharpened as he said, Tingyun still tightly held the handle. Right now this was the only weapon she had for self defense.
Even without an edge, it was still much better than bare hands. She could not abandon it easily.
Seeing Levi stepping closer and closer, and recalling what he had just said, Tingyun's heart tightened.
She threatened, "Don't come any closer!"
"Don't come any closer ah!!!"
Hearing Levi's abstract imitation of her voice, Tingyun inevitably froze again.
"That's how you're supposed to shout, got it."
Levi's voice sounded again. By the time she came back to her senses, the kitchen knife in her hand had already been taken away.
With the strength he had just shown, he was clearly not someone she could deal with bare handed.
Now even her only weapon had been taken away.
The girl revealed a look of despair.
Looking at the kitchen knife in his hand, Levi shook his head and put it aside.
This was something he had bought when he originally planned to cook for himself.
But after buying it he realized it was an unsharpened kitchen knife, and at the same time he discovered that his room did not have a kitchen.
Even if he wanted to cook there was nowhere to do it.
So he could only leave the thing in a corner. Somehow Tingyun had dug it out.
Turning on the light and seeing the despairing girl, Levi showed a gentle smile and politely said, "Let me introduce myself."
"Diviner of the Divination Commission on the Luofu Xianzhou, Fu Xuan's rumored boyfriend, Qingque's owner, the person Jing Yuan fears the most… Levi is me!"
Listening to his long string of self introduction, the despairing expression on Tingyun's face froze.
If the atmosphere were not inappropriate, she might even have wanted to laugh.
"And also, I didn't kidnap you. I picked you up in space…"
After Levi's explanation, combined with the familiar Luofu scenery outside the room, Tingyun finally realized that she seemed to have misunderstood him.
"When I first picked you up you were half dead. I put in a lot of effort to save you."
The more Levi spoke, the more awkward Tingyun's expression became.
The misunderstanding between the two was resolved.
Tingyun began to think about who exactly attacked her merchant ship.
Just thinking about what enemies the Luofu Xianzhou had, Tingyun could not think of any right away.
But if talking about enemies of the Xianzhou Alliance, Tingyun immediately thought of one name.
The Denizens of Abundance.
Just like the Hunt pursues and kills the Abundance, the Denizens of Abundance also feel hostility toward people born on the Xianzhou.
Many major battles in Luofu history mostly originated from the Abundance.
If talking about which two mortal enemies in the universe are known by everyone, it would probably only be the Hunt and the Abundance.
As well as the forces under both sides.
Tingyun frowned slightly and said softly, "Could it be the Abundance who attacked us?"
Hearing Tingyun's words, Levi spoke, "I roughly know who attacked you."
Tingyun raised her head and looked at him with tightly furrowed brows.
Suspicion appeared in her eyes once again.
