Chapter 4, Teammates Reunite

"Fu Yucheng, what are you doing here?"

Zhong Bingxuan looked at Fu Yuchen with dissatisfaction. This man's attitude was too frivolous, and he was fawning over her cousin. She didn't like this kind of person and was worried that her cousin would be deceived by him and suffer in the future.

"Senior Fu, you've caught the monster."

Zhong Linlin was oblivious to the intense tension between her cousin and Fu Yuchen; her mind was only on the faceless clay figure that had just escaped.

She had seen her cousin's disappointed expression earlier. Now that the faceless clay figure had been found, she had to quickly deal with the monster to make her cousin happy.

Zhong Linlin ran over, took a mirror, and broke the faceless clay figure down into cards, points, and life points. After doing all this, she ran back to show off to her cousin.

"Look, cousin, I didn't even let a faceless clay figure go. See how amazing I am?"

"Of course, there's nothing my Linlin can't do well. Keep up the good work, the two sisters of us will be invincible as a team to kill monsters."

Zhong Bingxuan smiled and gave her cousin a thumbs up, deliberately ignoring Fu Yuchen and leaving him to sit on the sidelines.

"Linlin, your cousin's attitude is terrible. All my hard work in helping you catch the escaped faceless clay figure was for nothing. I may not have done anything, but I have put in a lot of effort. Your cousin's attitude has really hurt my feelings."

Fu Yuchen deliberately covered his heart, pretending to be heartbroken by Zhong Bingxuan.

"Cousin, since Senior Fu is so kind to help us, should we invite him over to our home?"

Zhong Linlin was in a dilemma; the other party had genuinely helped them, and she didn't want to betray them.

"How did you figure out that the faceless clay figure was the one we were chasing?"

Zhong Bingxuan wasn't so easily fooled; she looked at Fu Yuchen with suspicion.

"Li Hanmo, come and tell your girlfriend what happened just now, so she doesn't think I lied to her."

A handsome young man with slightly curly hair appeared from the main entrance and smiled gently at Zhong Bingxuan.

"Ah Xuan, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back safe and sound. Linlin and I are going out to collect food later, so please take it home and settle it in, Senior Fu."

Zhong Bingxuan felt helpless. This person had indeed done her a great favor, preventing her and her cousin from running around in circles. She couldn't just turn her back on him after she had served her purpose, and not even give him a chance to recharge.

"Ah Xuan, I'll go out with you to find food. Linlin can take Yuchen home."

Li Hanmo was worried that his girlfriend would find him too dirty, so he lingered outside a little longer to tidy his clothes and entered the room a step later than Fu Yuchen. Fu Yuchen stole the spotlight by helping his girlfriend catch the monster, which made him unhappy and even less willing to be with Fu Yuchen.

Having finally reunited with his girlfriend, he naturally wanted to stay by her side. What was there to take care of for a grown man like Fu Yuchen?

Zhong Bingxuan rolled her eyes at Li Hanmo. How could this guy have no sense at all? Fu Yucheng, that big bad wolf, has always been eyeing her little cabbage. Letting this guy stay alone with Linlin is like sending a lamb to the slaughter.

Li Hanmo felt a tingling sensation all over his body from Zhong Bingxuan's reproachful look. He stared at Zhong Bingxuan with infatuation, oblivious to everyone else.

Zhong Bingxuan was used to her boyfriend's clingy gaze. Only when he stopped acting out would she think that Li Hanmo was abnormal and whether he had been replaced by the faceless clay figure.

Having lived in the Zhong family for so long, Zhong Linlin had become accustomed to Li Hanmo's disregard for everyone else whenever her cousin was around.

Fu Yuchen was different; Li Hanmo's ruthless and unstoppable nature along the way had left a deep impression on him.

Now, seeing Li Hanmo staring at that savage woman Zhong Bingxuan like a pervert, he felt extremely uncomfortable and suspected that Li Hanmo had been possessed. He took out a mirror and wanted to cut Li Hanmo's arm to test it.

As a result, Zhong Bingxuan snatched the dagger she had just taken out, and Fu Yuchen's plan failed. Instead, he found himself with his own sharp dagger against his neck.

“Fu Yucheng, if you don’t like me, you can just say so. I’m fine with a one-on-one fight. What kind of person takes it out on my man?”

Faced with Zhong Bingxuan's unfriendly gaze, Fu Yuchen worried that her hand might tremble and she might stab him in the neck, so he immediately explained that he was worried that Li Hanmo would be replaced by the faceless clay figure, so he was just doing a small test and had no ill intentions towards Li Hanmo.

Zhong Bingxuan looked at Fu Yuchen suspiciously, mainly because this person's behavior was a bit wicked and he didn't seem like a gentleman at all. Who knew how much of what he said was true or false?

"Why would I lie to you? If I really wanted Li Hanmo to die, I could have simply not saved him back then. Why would I wait until now to think of killing him?"

Upon hearing Fu Yucheng's words, Zhong Bingxuan looked at Li Hanmo with some concern. Why hadn't he said anything about such a dangerous situation?

"I'm fine. What Fu Yucheng said is true. If you don't believe me, I can give you a test."

Not wanting his girlfriend to worry, Li Hanmo used his own dagger to cut himself. He then looked at the wound in the mirror; the blood was still slowly flowing out, showing no signs of hardening into soil.

Fu Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief. The main reason was that this person's combat power was too high. If he were replaced by the faceless mudman, the chances of the human side winning would be even lower. He hadn't found his ticket yet, so he had to ensure that the human side was not at a disadvantage in order to take advantage of the chaos and find a good ticket.

"You hit too hard. Couldn't you have been a little gentler?"

Zhong Bingxuan took out hemostatic medicine and disinfectant from the small package behind her and gave Li Hanmo some minor treatment for his wound.

When you're out and about, you might not have enough medicine, so you'll have to make do with what you have.

Li Hanmo smiled without saying a word, not taking the minor injury seriously at all.

Zhong Bingxuan was both annoyed and amused by Li Hanmo's expression.

"Should Linlin and I try it too? Maybe we'll get infected along the way without even knowing it."

Zhong Bingxuan gestured on her arm, as if about to make a cut, but was stopped by Li Hanmo.

"No need, I can tell the difference."

She had always treated Li Hanmo like an older brother since childhood, and whenever she had something good to eat or drink, she would always share it with Li Hanmo.

When Li Hanmo was a child, he wasn't as strong in combat as he is now. He was also good-looking, which attracted the hearts of many little girls and inevitably made him the object of jealousy among the school bullies.

Beatings, insults, and mudslinging were commonplace for Li Hanmo. He couldn't beat the other party, so he would just endure it and find opportunities to retaliate against those who bullied him.

If he hadn't happened to meet Uncle Zhong and been taken home and adopted by him, he would never have known that he could feel pain and be protected. He wasn't the jinx his relatives called him, nor was he the jinx or jinx in the eyes of his jealous classmates.

Zhong Bingxuan has been incredibly strong since childhood. Whenever Li Hanmo was bullied, she would punch him back, beating him to a pulp and letting everyone know that she protected Li Hanmo. Anyone who dared to bully Li Hanmo should think twice about whether they were tough enough to withstand a few punches from her.

Of course, Zhong Bingxuan's father did not approve of her method of using violence to retaliate. He had beaten people many times before, and as a result, people came to his door and he was punished by not eating dinner and having to stand in a corner of the house to reflect on his mistakes.

Thinking of the past, Li Hanmo's eyes softened even more. Fu Yuchen clicked his tongue in amazement and sighed inwardly. Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Looking at him before, he was a ruthless killer like a great demon, but in front of his girlfriend, he was gentle and harmless like a noble young master. It was hard to believe that these two faces were the same person.

"Since you helped Hanmo, why don't we go out together to find food? We don't know how long this disaster will last, and food is essential."

Zhong Bingxuan was worried about Fu Yuchen being with her cousin, so she thought it best to keep him by her side, especially since he could be rescued.

"Since a beautiful woman has invited me, I naturally feel obliged to comply."

Fu Yuchen was habitually glib, and by the time he realized that this was a woman who was actually a great evil dragon, it was too late.
