Seeing Fang Yuanyuan's determined gaze, Bai Xizhu's eyes flickered.

It seems I've figured something out.

However, Bai Xizhu did not intend to tell Zhang Yiming about his whereabouts.

One wrong move and the entire city of Shanghai could be gone.

"Let us take you back!"

Bai Xizhu glanced at Fang Yuanyuan's legs. Her clothes were stained with a lot of blood. The bleeding had stopped, but the inside had not fully recovered.

"Is he your boyfriend?"

Fang Yuanyuan only noticed Leng Yebai next to Bai Xizhu at this moment, and a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

He has sharp features, is handsome and steady.

Fang Yuanyuan could even feel the chill emanating from Leng Yebai's body; the fluctuations of his supernatural power made her somewhat alarmed.

This person's special ability must be at least at the fourth level or higher!

If Leng Yebai hadn't heard Zhang Yiming's name, the energy fluctuations on his body probably wouldn't have been so obvious.

"Um."

Bai Xizhu smiled and nodded, her ears turning slightly red.

In an instant, Fang Yuanyuan could feel that the energy pressure from the man in front of her had lessened considerably, and the terrifying energy fluctuations had calmed down.

Just as Bai Xizhu was about to help Fang Yuanyuan up, a gasp rang out.

"Miss Fang! How did you get hurt!"

The voice sounded familiar.

Bai Xizhu turned around and saw it was Xiao Li from the Alliance of Superpowered Individuals. He was jogging towards her with a worried look on his face.

Whether they were genuinely worried or not, they certainly put on a good show.

Behind him, Secretary-General Fang walked with his back straight, his expression indifferent, exuding a faint aura of authority.

"Oh! So much blood!" Xiao Li squatted down, then suddenly glared fiercely at Bai Xizhu and the other woman. "Did you hurt Miss Fang?"

A terrifying pressure, accompanied by energy fluctuations, descended upon Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai.

Bai Xizhu frowned subconsciously.

With a cold expression, Leng Yebai stood directly in front of Bai Xizhu, his body also radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.

The energy fluctuations emanating from Leng Yebai created a small-scale supernatural storm, which landed squarely on Xiao Li.

"Xiao Li, these are my classmate and her friend. Don't be rude!"

Fang Yuanyuan spoke slowly and casually, her tone light and without a hint of blame.

"So you're Miss Fang's friend. I was so flustered, I was so rude!"

Xiao Li quickly withdrew his oppressive aura and nodded apologetically to Leng Yebai.

Leng Yebai did not withdraw his oppressive aura.

Xiao Li never expected that even after he had stopped, someone would still be so audacious.

He's a sixth-tier superhuman!

Even though Leng Yebai was only a fifth-level ability user, the pressure emanating from him was in no way inferior to that of Xiao Li.

Li was caught off guard and staggered, almost turning from a half-squat to kneeling on both knees.

"You... you were just joking. Miss Fang's injuries are the most important thing right now!"

A flash of fierceness crossed Xiao Li's eyes, but he quickly softened his expression.

He's just the son of a small base commander, yet he dares to offend him!

Heh, once they confirm that the Zombie King is nearby, those people will agree to throw that thing down. At that time, everyone here will be buried with the Zombie King. It's just a dead man, so Xiao Li won't bother with him.

He is now second only to the emperor, and all he needs to do is curry favor with Secretary-General Fang.

He naturally understood that Leng Yebai and the other person wouldn't make a move against Fang Yuanyuan, but since Secretary Fang was here, he naturally had to put on a show.

"Yuanyuan, what happened?"

After Xiao Li and Leng Yebai had exchanged their auras, Secretary Fang finally strolled over to the group.

With Xiao Li's help, Fang Yuanyuan managed to stand up, supporting herself on one leg.

"...It was just a misunderstanding, and it's been resolved now."

Fang Yuanyuan pursed her thin lips, but did not directly complain.

"Then let's go back."

Secretary-General Fang glanced at Leng Yebai and the other person, said nothing, and turned to leave.

It wasn't that he was magnanimous enough not to pursue the matter of others hurting Fang Yuanyuan; rather, he was too lazy to pursue it.

To him, Fang Yuanyuan was nothing more than a daughter. If she hadn't already become a third-level ability user and was still somewhat useful, he wouldn't have bothered to acknowledge her!

Secretary-General Fang is a narrow-minded person who always seeks revenge.

But Fang Yuanyuan's injury was not a source of hatred for him; it was insignificant.

The most important thing now is not these petty squabbles, but finding evidence that the Zombie King is here, and then becoming a hero to the whole world.

"Xiao Zhu, which villa do you live in? I'll come visit you once I'm healed."

Fang Yuanyuan looked up at Bai Xizhu, a faint smile on her stunning face, gentle and beautiful.

"A large bus at the very back of the residential area."

Bai Xizhu said very honestly.

"Yeah, we're staying in the villa area. I'll go back today and absorb more crystal cores. Maybe my injuries will be healed by tomorrow. I'll come visit you tomorrow!"

Fang Yuanyuan smiled, her eyes crinkling. This time, it was a genuine smile.

When she was in college in S city, she and her mother could only live in a 40-square-meter rented room, and they lived very frugally.

Bai Xizhu's father is a lawyer, and they live in a spacious and bright house. Their daily expenses are much higher than hers.

Bai Xizhu wears beautiful clothes every day, each one costing almost half a month's rent for her family, which she can only secretly envy and be jealous of.

What saddened her most was that the class monitor, who was gentle to the core, would take the initiative to talk to her every day.

An outsider's perspective is often clearer; she was watching Zhang Yiming every day, so naturally she could see that Zhang Yiming was watching Bai Xizhu every day.
