Chapter 239 Furious at Being Switched

The octopus looked into its arms and was shocked to find that what it was holding was not Murong Dubai, but a piece of wood instead. It had been holding onto it tightly and had never let go. When had it been switched without its knowledge?

The octopus raised its head and looked at Murong Junlan on the cliff, and at Murong Dubai, whom it had been holding half to death. A surge of anger rose from the bottom of its heart. At this moment, it even looked at Princess Yan'er with vicious eyes. The seawater tossed it against the rocks on the shore again and again. The octopus grabbed it, threw the large log in its hand into the sea, and then, holding firmly on the rocks, began to climb the cliff.

The octopus, having practiced martial arts, found rock climbing a simple task easy, and reappeared before Murong Junlan after a few rounds. Murong Junlan had already blocked the monologue, which was now being watched by Princess Yan'er.

"Quite fast," Murong Junlan said casually, as if he knew everything about the octopus's appearance. "Since you're already in the sea, why aren't you leaving? I might change my mind later."

The octopus, too lazy to waste words with Murong Junlan, suddenly attacked with its eight tentacles after a shove of its bald head. The man and the fish clashed for a while, and the octopus, struck by Murong Junlan's fine rope, suddenly collapsed to the ground, motionless.

"Your Highness, you went too far." Yan'er couldn't help but feel a surge of compassion.

"No. It might have been too tired and passed out." Murong Junlan was puzzled. He had only gently touched it, so how could the octopus have collapsed?

"Look, it's just a small claw, but it has quite a few external injuries. It's not easy for it to have fought this far. Your Highness, please check if it's alright. If it's alright, let's put it back." Yan'er walked over and couldn't help but reach out and stroke the octopus.

"No..." Murong Junlan had barely finished speaking when the octopus, which had just fainted, suddenly sprang to life. Its two claws bypassed Murong Junlan's defenses and grabbed Yan'er's throat, while its other claws swept backward and then wrapped around Murong Dubai on the ground.

The movement was too fast. It wasn't that Murong Junlan didn't react in time, but rather that the thin rope he swung out was entangled in the octopus's two tentacles. This creature had too many tentacles, and with it gripping Yan'er's throat, Murong Junlan was hesitant and didn't dare to make a decisive move.

"What do you want?" Murong Junlan put away the thin rope. "If you dare to harm her in the slightest, I will take your life immediately."

"Send him to the Xuanmo Cave." The octopus, ignoring the blood seeping from its wounds, knew that if it wanted to abduct Murong Dubai from Murong Junlan, it had no choice but to threaten this woman named Yan'er. During its time at the Lihentian Pavilion, it had seen the Pavilion Master's feelings for this woman. If it weren't for her, it estimated the Pavilion Master wouldn't have returned to the martial world.

Today, it threatened this woman to save the Pavilion Master. If the Pavilion Master blames it in the future, it will accept it. It is willing to do anything for the Pavilion Master as long as he is out of danger. In fact, it still does not know the extent of the Pavilion Master's injuries. It only knows that the Fireball Guards told it that it must retrieve the Crimson Spirit Spring Water to save the Pavilion Master's life. It seems that the Pavilion Master is seriously injured this time.

At the same time, it knew it couldn't beat Murong Junlan. Not to mention that he had a thin rope in his hand, it might not be able to defeat him even if he was bare-handed. So, a risky idea suddenly popped into its mind.

"You'd better release them before I start killing them," Murong Junlan said coldly.
