Lana rolled her eyes at Nash, wondering when he learned to become so humorous. From what she remembered of him, Nash was mature, steady, and had a very mild temperament. She did not remember him as someone who liked to joke around.
"My cultivation is restricted now, so I'm not your match at the moment," Nash said. From the true energy Lana displayed just now, it was evident that she had already broken through to the grandmaster level.
"So, you're saying I can bully you now?" Lana's eyes sparkled mischievously.
Nash frowned slightly in return. "Even though I don't have my spiritual energy now, my physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary people, including my speed. You know, I was once the Smiling Grim Reaper,” he announced with a cold glint in his eyes.
Lana shuddered. She quickly lowered her head and went back to eating her fish. Nash was worried that Lana might actually try to hurt him, so he deliberately released some killing intent to scare her. Judging by her reaction, it seemed to have worked.
After finishing her fish, Lana took a bottle of water from the grass behind her and drank a few sips. As she tilted her head back to drink, the outline of her chest became faintly visible to Nash.
Nash averted his gaze and said in a low voice, "Put on your undergarments.”
Lana blushed again. Covering her chest, she went outside to retrieve her bra.
Nash took a few more bites of fish, then bent over to grab Lana's bottle, taking a couple of sips himself.
Suddenly, there was a scream outside.
Instinct came over Nash. Throwing away the water bottle, he ran out and saw Lana half-naked with her hands covering her chest. She was staring in fear at a white wolf that was glaring at her.
The white wolf's eyes gleamed green as it bared its teeth ferociously. Nash picked up a stone from the ground and swiftly charged forward.
The white wolf was fearless and lunged toward Nash as well. Nash swiftly dodged its attack and brought the stone in his hand onto the wolf's head.
