Before the golden-crowned giant eagle could reach Xia Xiaonuan, it was blocked by a group of people. If it did not turn around to fight, it would be killed by the group from behind. Therefore, it had no choice but to give up its revenge.

As flying creatures, even though they haven't completely lost their fighting ability after coming to land, they are still quite a bit weaker than before when it comes to fighting.

The group knew that Zhang Lin had ordered the attack to save Xia Xiaonuan, but now that the Golden Crowned Giant Eagle had changed its target, they stopped attacking it and simply kept it occupied to prevent it from attacking Xia Xiaonuan.

As I said before, at this point, no one is willing to risk their life against the Golden-Crowned Giant Eagle. It's a doomed eagle, so who would trade their life for it? It would be too much of a loss!

Just keep them entangled.

Zhang Lin also stopped joining the battle at this point.

Just let the others hold them off.

"Xiao Nuan, how are you?"

Zhang Lin ran to the side of the motorcycle to check on his girlfriend.

Xia Xiaonuan took a breath, glanced at Ji Yuetong, then looked away and said, "The food she gave me was good; I've regained some of my strength."

Ji Yuetong rolled her eyes helplessly.

An Qingge and Xia Xiaonuan are two extremes.

An Qingge got along very well with the other women, especially the new ones. Apart from Zhang Lin, they listened to An Qingge the most and treated her like a real older sister.

And Xia Xiaonuan...

She only had eyes for Zhang Lin. If Zhang Lin hadn't stopped her, she probably would have become close friends with other women. Of course, the consequence of her becoming close friends with others was that they all died, leaving her all alone.

“You…” Zhang Lin could tell that Xia Xiaonuan had no intention of paying attention to Ji Yuetong, and even wanted to kill her…

If it were anyone else, Zhang Lin would have to teach her a lesson and let her know who's in charge...

It's a pity it's Xia Xiaonuan.

Let her be.

As long as you don't actually take action, that's fine.

In the distance, the city lord stood beside a car, silently watching the direction of the motorcycle. When she saw Zhang Lin and Xia Xiaonuan looking so affectionate, she couldn't help but roll her eyes behind her mask.

"Xia, Xia, I really didn't know you were this kind of person!" the city lord muttered irritably.

She used to only know that Xia Xiaonuan was infatuated and her only obsession was to revive her boyfriend. But now she realized that her friend, who was extremely cold to everyone, was a lovesick fool in front of her boyfriend!

He values ​​romance over friendship!

Immediately, the city lord's face fell.

She had previously thought that even if Xia Xiaonuan had a relationship with Zhang Lin, if she really had a conflict with Zhang Lin, Xia Xiaonuan would probably not take sides, after all, she was also Xia Xiaonuan's friend.

But now she understands.

If he were to have a conflict with Zhang Lin now, Xia Xiaonuan would definitely not be on his side. With just one word from Zhang Lin, she could kill him.

The city lord knew Xia Xiaonuan well; his own friend was capable of such a thing.

"That means Lu Dazhao is the only one on my side now, but he's not very bright!" the city lord thought to himself. "Nine city guards aren't enough. I'll expand them to twelve later, otherwise we won't be able to keep Zhang Lin under control."

Ahead, a group of human experts were engaged in a fierce battle with the golden-crowned giant eagle, while the city lord was plotting his power struggle in the rear.

If this were in a novel or play, anyone capable of doing something like this would definitely be a major villain.

On the other side.

Chen Junyu was also injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield.

He was on the front lines, and two of the four people who were with him died. He survived entirely because of his superior strength.

Despite his serious injuries, he is in a good mood.

Because Qiao Yu had promised him that if he survived, he would marry Qiao Ruoxi to him.

This was his dream for several lifetimes.

Young Chen Junyu was unaware that this was Qiao Yu's way of keeping him in suspense; only by not marrying his daughter to him could he obediently comply.

In this life, Qiao Yu was forced into a corner by Zhang Lin, so he promised to marry his daughter to him, making him risk his life as bait.

Now that Chen Junyu has miraculously survived, the excruciating injuries all over his body have no effect on him. Qiao Ruoxi is right beside him, and he says excitedly, "Ruoxi, it's been so many years, and we can finally be together!"

Qiao Ruoxi forced a smile at the excited Chen Junyu, but felt helpless inside.

She didn't say she disliked Chen Junyu.

only……

Women are all like that; they can't possibly like a guy who's practically throwing himself at them.

In a way, Chen Junyu can be considered a successful example of a simp.

"You're injured, take good care of yourself. I'm going to check on my dad." Qiao Ruoxi really wasn't in the mood to talk to him, so she gave him a perfunctory reply and hurriedly ran away.

Chen Junyu: "..."

"Dad, are you really going to marry me off to Chen Junyu?" Qiao Ruoxi came to Qiao Yu's side and said with some displeasure.

Qiao Yu is directing the battle between the humans and the Golden Crowned Giant Eagle.

There was no danger at this point, and Zhang Lin was too busy being affectionate with Xia Xiaonuan to give any more orders, so the command was back in his hands.

Zhang Lin just wanted to find some cannon fodder to prevent Hope City from suffering too much loss.

Given the current situation, there will be virtually no losses, so whether or not we retain command is irrelevant.

While directing the battle, Qiao Yu said, "I've already promised Junyu."

Qiao Ruoxi was speechless.

She wanted to refuse, but she knew she had no choice.

First of all, Chen Junyu is stronger than Qiao Yu. If he really goes back on his word, Chen Junyu might just force himself on her, and then the father and daughter would have no choice but to accept it.
