Chapter 282 Everyone Has Their Own Path

Li Yuan coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He had already suffered serious injuries when he fought that sacrifice yesterday. Now, Wen Jin's attack has nearly killed him.

Li Yuan's curly hair, as green as water lilies, was stuck to his face with bloodstains, and his eyes were filled with resentment and jealousy.

But Wen Jin didn't even glance at him again. After saying "Get lost," he turned his gaze to Fu Yan.

Fu Yan's back instantly stretched like a fully drawn bowstring.

Even though the other party hadn't done anything, he clearly sensed the warning in Wen Jin's eyes.

That is the ultimate prohibition against any usurper who tries to approach or interfere!

Just as Fu Yan couldn't help but take action to protect himself, the oppressive aura emanating from him receded like a tide.

At the same time, Huali reached out and tugged at Wen Jin's sleeve, "Let's go, let's go, my legs are numb."

What a bad year! From now on, she'll run eight feet away whenever she sees those two! Fighting and injuring innocent people is so tasteless!

All she wants to do right now is lie on her little recliner in her yard and not go anywhere else!

Wen Jin looked at Hua Li's tightly furrowed brows and slowly lowered his raised fingertips.

"Your legs are numb and you don't know how to leave?" As he spoke, he naturally stepped forward, turned his back, and slightly bent his knees. "Come on up."

Huali: "???"

Karin: "!!!"

After waiting for a long time without any movement, Wen Jin turned around in confusion.

It was right in front of a pair of teary-eyed fried eggs.

Moved to tears, Huali grabbed Ao Bai, wiped away non-existent tears, and howled like a wolf: "Bai, did you see that?!"

"When it really matters, it has to be the kid I raised with all my hard work!"

Ao Bai, baring his teeth and claws, dog-paddled in mid-air, yelling, "I just licked my fur! Let go! King Meow Meow doesn't want to talk to someone who's blind and deceitful!"

Hua Li ignored it and shook her head at Wen Jin, "Let's just walk back like this. I found a really delicious shaved ice today, you can try it when we pass by later."

Wen Jin stopped insisting and straightened up, naturally taking Hua Li's hand. "If you want to eat, just take that person back to Sunset City."

"That won't do. Seeing the sunset dozens of times a day would definitely make anyone depressed."

"People come out to earn money, but going to your Sunset City would be a death sentence."

"You don't like Sunset City?"

"Not really, it's fine for an occasional vacation."

"By the way, how's the rose bush I planted doing?"

"Still there..."

The soft, ordinary sounds of conversation faded into the distance...

......

Li Yuan's hand, which was digging into the cracks in the stone slab, suddenly convulsed!

Compared to the power that Wen Jin used to crush him into dust, this scene of their intertwined fingers caused him even more excruciating pain!

Everyone...everyone can...but he can't.

A metallic taste surged in his throat, and Li Yuan could no longer control himself and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Heh...hehehe...hahahaha..."

The merman's laughter was pathetic and self-deprecating, like a dagger scraping across a wound again and again.

Looking at Li Yuan's disheveled appearance, Fu Yan's eyes gradually showed doubt.

Is this what love is all about?

It could make the Lord of the Azure Sea forget his dignity, put the Crown Prince of the Witch Clan in a dilemma, and also make him... feel a dense, bitter taste in his heart.

Fu Yan thought of Qi Ran, then of Wen Tingyun and Zhan Li beside her, and Mu Feng, with whom she had only crossed paths a few times...

In the end, love is a harmful thing to both oneself and others.

The chief disciple of the Fu Sect sighed and looked through the void toward the distant mountain gate.

But it shouldn't have been like this...

Life is not always filled with romantic love.

Perhaps some people are willing to indulge in it, even if it means being consumed by flames.

However, his path does not lie there.

When a square stone is ground into a round stone, it loses its original essence...

Similarly, compared to the anxiety and uncertainty of love...

To safeguard the laws and regulations for all people, and to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts.

This—this is his way of doing things, Fu Yan.

The heavy gates of the Shaojun Mansion slowly closed behind them.

As the setting sun casts its golden rays, it elongates the shadows of the two people walking side by side.

Qi Ran stepped half a step behind Mu Feng, staring at the tall but slightly thin figure in front of her, and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me yesterday, Young Master."

If Mu Feng hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng turned to the side and shook his head, "Miss Ranran, you don't need to be so polite. Cough cough... If it weren't for the miraculous medicine you brought, my mother... I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer."

He took out a jade medicine bottle from his sleeve, stroking it with a careful and cherished gesture.

"But... this medicine is almost used up." Mu Feng leaned forward slightly, his tone humble. "Ahem... Miss Ranran, could you please give me some more rare medicine?"

"This is the reward." He handed over the Qiankun bag. "Inside, besides spirit stones, there are also Life-Giving Pills and Xuanming Ginseng, which I will give to Miss Ranran."

Qi Ran looked at Mu Feng.

Although this medicine cannot cure the disease, it is currently the best treatment option.

She had wasted all her points on Wen Jin. Fortunately, she collected some more last night while bandaging Zhan Li and Li Yuan's wounds.

Just enough to exchange for a new bottle of "Life-Extending Pill".

Qi Ran smiled and nodded, "Young Master, you're too kind. It's on me—"

However, before she could finish speaking, a strong palpitation suddenly gripped Qi Ran's heart!

As the color drained from her face, Xiao Tong screamed, "Host! Something's wrong! Jin-type card Fu Yan's favorability has suddenly plummeted!"

Qi Ran froze, disbelief flashing in her eyes. "How could this be?"

Xiao Tong: "This world is different from the worlds we've conquered before; it seems to be being interfered with by some kind of force. I'm already communicating with headquarters, but right now, the host's primary concern is to deal with the gold cards as soon as possible!"

Xiao Tong paused for two seconds, then raised her voice, "Use points! These points, combined with the goodwill she gained from Mu Feng, can be exchanged for a chance to be alone with Fu Yan!"

Qi Ran frowned, "But I've already promised Mu Feng I'd give him the medicine..."

Xiao Tong: "Host! This is just a small world in the universe! Besides, Mu Feng's mother won't die immediately, but if Fu Yan's favorability continues to decline, our mission will fail."

Qi Ran: "......"
