Pat-pat-pat-pat.

Under the overpass, a small bonfire burned quietly in the moonlight.

This is an old overpass on the outskirts of Kyoto. Before the apocalypse, this was a bustling place for all sorts of people.

There are fortune tellers, vendors selling braised food, fruit vendors, and vendors selling crispy sausages—you name it.

Unfortunately, this place has now become a deserted place.

After leaving Qianlan Pavilion, Qiao Suinian did not take Han Yueling south, but continued north!

He knew very well that if he ran south, the people from Qianlan Pavilion would definitely block his escape route in advance.

Only by continuing north could they have a chance to escape Kyoto.

Once you leave Kyoto and Kitakawa City, you're free to roam the world.

"We'll rest for three hours, then continue our journey; it's not safe here yet."

After lighting the campfire, Qiao Sui let out a light breath. He and Han Yueling hadn't encountered any trouble along the way, proving that his judgment was correct.

Strangely, Han Yueling kept a cold face and didn't really want to talk to him the whole way.

"Big sister, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Qiao Suinian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Uncle." Han Yueling pursed her lips, but didn't even glance at Qiao Suinian.

"Am I that old to be called an uncle?" Qiao Suinian touched his nose.

"Of course! You and that auntie are all lovey-dovey, so of course I have to call you uncle." Han Yueling said with a forced smile.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Suinian immediately frowned and glared angrily, her expression becoming quite complicated.

"You...you actually dare to say that! If it weren't for saving you, would I have had to endure the humiliation of losing my virginity to that crazy woman?"

"At that time in the toilet, I resisted with all my might! I vowed to never submit! I would remain chaste! But that woman threatened me with you, saying that if I didn't submit to her, she wouldn't help us escape from Qianlan Pavilion!"

"I had no other choice. Besides, she drugged me with an aphrodisiac. If I didn't have sex with her, I would explode and die. I had no other choice but to do it!"

Qiao Suinian turned her face away angrily, her lips tightly pressed together, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had truly suffered a great injustice.

However, faced with his superb acting skills, Han Yueling only gave a cold laugh.

"Keep making things up! You even said he died from an aphrodisiac explosion? Do you think I'm stupid? Couldn't you have used your hands?"

"Just as I expected! You men, not a single word of your statement 'I'm going to ejaculate' was true!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Suinian's pupils dilated instantly.

What Han Yueling said... seems to make a lot of sense!

That was too hasty. I should have just said that Yang Beini knocked herself unconscious and then forced herself on her, instead of mentioning aphrodisiacs.

Han Yueling's face was filled with disdain, as if she had seen through her long ago.

She gets angrier and angrier looking at Qiao Suinian, even more so than Yang Beini.

She had thought he was uninterested in women because he seemed like a celibate man, but it turns out he wasn't interested in her at all. Yang Beini, on the other hand, easily got together with him.

What's so great about that woman? She's even older than me!

"Although I wasn't drugged, it was really an emergency at the time, can you believe me?" Qiao Suinian smiled awkwardly.

"I don't believe you!"

Han Yueling glared fiercely at Qiao Suinian, then turned to leave.

Suddenly, Qiao Suinian reached out and pressed down on her shoulder with such force that Han Yueling frowned.

"What are you doing! You're hurting me!"

Han Yueling turned her head and found that Qiao Suinian's expression had become extremely serious.

"Someone's coming! Two of them!"

Qiao Suinian pulled Han Yueling back and extinguished the campfire in the process.

Seeing the change in Qiao Suinian's expression, Han Yueling realized that now was not the time to throw a tantrum, and she also became serious.

She and Qiao Suinian hid in a corner, and then Han Yueling produced an ice-blue staff. With a gentle wave, an ice wall was erected in front of her and Qiao Suinian.

"This thing can isolate our presence and prevent us from being discovered!" Han Yueling said in a deep voice.

Qiao Suinian glanced at the staff in Han Yueling's hand, guessing that it must have been a treasure obtained from Qianlan Pavilion.

Just as they were hiding, two dark figures suddenly appeared under the moonlight and chased them to the bottom of the overpass.

One of the dark figures walked to the campfire that had just been extinguished, where wisps of white smoke were still rising from the embers.

The dark figure crouched down and then reached out to touch the embers of the campfire.

"It's still hot to the touch. They just left not long ago, and they've likely already found us." The crouching figure spoke slowly; the voice sounded like a man's.

"How did you know they would flee this way?" another dark figure spoke up; it was a woman.

"Haven't you heard the saying? The person who knows you best is your enemy," the shadowy man said in a deep voice. "If I were him, I would also flee north. The most dangerous place is the safest place."

"Then why don't we hurry up and chase after them? What if they get away!" The woman in black was clearly anxious.

"Don't worry, they can't escape!"

As soon as the shadowy man finished speaking, a blood-red iron chain suddenly lashed out from under his robe and hurled towards the ice wall created by Han Yueling.

Boom!

With a muffled thud, the ice wall shattered into pieces, breaking into ice crystals scattered all over the ground.

Qiao Suinian and Han Yueling also appeared under the moonlight.

Qiao Suinian stared at the shadowy man, her expression somewhat grave.

"Ye Difeng..."
