Yun Nuannuan’s smile was warm and healing.
Bai Ye watched from the side, but suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Just looking at her smile, he suddenly remembered the fiery red-haired girl.
If she were still here now, she would probably be walking around by his side.
Hopping around.
Shouting that he was looking at other women again, and then pinching the soft flesh of his waist, demanding that he surrender, but in the end, he would always grasp her fatal weakness, pull her into his arms, and rub her fiercely…
But what was the use of thinking about these things?
He couldn't help but feel dejected, shook his head, and banished the image of the red-haired girl from his mind, warning himself not to always dwell on the past.
Always remember, but do not frequently recall.
Otherwise, with his temperament, he would sooner or later fall into a demon state, and the evil god would be provoked again.
However, speaking of which, now that he had merged with Bai Qi, would the evil god still try to tempt him with Hei Qi?
That was a good question.
Duan Chen glanced sideways at Bai Ye, who was lost in his own world, and did not wake him.
He concentrated on communicating with Yang Jian, who had already swept away all the monsters within a hundred-meter radius and then landed.
“Are you two the only remaining Spirit Hunters and Agents from the Su Cheng branch of the Spirit Hunter Guild?”
Yang Jian’s expression was somewhat serious.
But upon seeing that Duan Chen was the only one around, he could not help but reveal a surprised expression.
The twin sisters beside him also noticed this and their eyes widened in disbelief.
“How is that possible?”
Yun Nuannuan covered her delicate mouth.
But the surprise still escaped her eyes.
She shook her head, “I remember Uncle Zhang and Gao Tiankai were also from your Su Cheng branch, where are they?”
Old Zhang…
Gao Tiankai…
Duan Chen couldn’t help but fall silent.
To be honest, everything that happened yesterday still felt like a dream. Old Zhang’s death, Gao Tiankai’s death.
It was all too sudden.
He hadn't even had time to react before he had to face such devastating news.
Before he could recover from Gao Tiankai’s betrayal, he was abruptly informed that the other was a double agent, yet in the next second, he faced the fact that Gao Tiankai had shielded him, saving his life.
It was too chaotic for a moment.
Facing such a question, he could only remain silent, purse his lips, and shake his head.
Duan Chen’s attitude explained everything. The Yun sisters and Yang Jian all fell silent.
Finally, Yang Jian sheathed his sword and placed it at his side, sighing with emotion.
“My condolences.”
Duan Chen rallied himself, shook his head, and like Bai Ye, as if trying to shake something off, got to the point.
“Let’s not talk about that. Is your Bai Cheng branch the only one that came to Su Cheng for support this time?”
Yun Congshuang, finally relieved that the topic had changed and was no longer so heavy, couldn’t help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief and stepped forward to explain.
A sweet smile adorned her face.
“Brother Duan, you’ve misunderstood. How could that be?”
“There are a total of ten rescue teams that came to Su Cheng this time, including our Bai Cheng team. They have already been dispersed to various areas of Su Cheng. We are responsible for this particular area and just happened to meet you.”
“There are simply too many monsters here. This must be the power of Leviathan, the leader of the three great demonic beasts of Jing Cheng. It is indeed terrifying.”
Yun Congshuang looked at the coastline of Su Cheng’s border with a sense of awe.
There, the sea was now calm.
But before that, it had stirred up colossal waves, pounding countless creatures from the sea onto land.
Along with them came endless calamities and monsters, engulfing the lives of people on land and the peace and tranquility of this place.
It caused a throbbing ache in one’s heart.
Yang Jian proactively suggested.
“Given your spiritual power consumption, you must have been here for a long time. Now that we are taking over, you two can also rest for a while.”
He looked at Duan Chen seriously.
“You’re a good kid.”
“I’ll be waiting for you at the capital’s special training.”
“But now you need to rest.”
Duan Chen’s body staggered, and he couldn’t help but take a step forward.
“But I…”
Yang Jian frowned.
He sighed.
“I knew you young ones were all competitive and wouldn’t rest properly. Nuannuan, help him.”
Yun Nuannuan blinked her big eyes, stuck out her tongue, and facing Duan Chen’s questioning gaze, extended her two small hands, muttering.
“Little brother, don’t blame me. It’s your own fault for not resting well.”
Warm yellow energy seeped out from between her fingers, transforming into gas, and instantly rushed towards Duan Chen’s nose and mouth.
Duan Chen inwardly cursed his bad luck and tried to hold his breath, but then he heard Yun Nuannuan say softly.
“Little brother, don’t struggle. You can’t guard against this by just holding your breath, you know.”
Duan Chen relaxed his guard, and his mind began to feel hazy.
The next moment, he felt dizzy, and his whole body fell to the ground.
Yun Nuannuan turned her attention to Bai Ye, who immediately shivered, held up a hand, and quickly stopped her, shouting.
“No, no, don’t bother wasting your spiritual power. I can do it myself.”
With that, he abruptly fainted.
Yun Nuannuan: …
She looked down at her palm with a hint of grievance, then looked at Bai Ye, who had truly fainted.
She stomped her foot in anger.
“So annoying, he doesn’t give girls a chance at all.”
“No wonder he looks like a single person.”
Then, she pouted and turned to Yang Jian, “Second Uncle, what do we do next?”
Yang Jian scanned the surroundings, drew his sword, and looked at Yun Congshuang.
“Congshuang, you and Nuannuan will protect Nuannuan while continuing to search for survivors here. Have Nuannuan heal them, and then gather them all in the tallest building nearby.”
Yun Congshuang’s expression turned serious.
She immediately nodded in agreement.
“Don’t worry, Second Uncle.”
“I will definitely do it.”
Yang Jian nodded.
With a slight movement of his hand, the sword that had been inseparable from him was drawn again.
“As for me…”
“Dealing with them one by one is too troublesome. I’ll just flatten this place first.”
His eyes sharpened.
Immense spiritual power was channeled into the sword before him, and a phantom of the sword appeared beside it, an exact replica but clearly without substance.
Numerous phantoms appeared one after another.
Spiritual power surged.
“Go!”
