This bleak world killed them.

Right under everyone's noses.

The perpetrator shouted excitedly, while passersby watched coldly. Many even held up their phones to record the incident, hoping to go viral, while simultaneously commenting disdainfully, "Has the tiger been eating too much? It doesn't look fierce at all. Go ahead and bite it!"

The crowds caused the staff to arrive very slowly.

Lu Fenglin didn't know what he was thinking at that moment. He only felt that the world was dark and his ears were ringing, until he saw Yun Yao's slightly protruding belly...

My heart skipped a beat.

He rushed in like a madman and used all his strength to save the still-developing child.

Just saving the child almost exhausted all the magical techniques he had painstakingly practiced over the years.

It wasn't until Yun Yao was rescued by the staff that he discovered a crumpled lab report in her tattered pocket.

There were also words written on the back—

Honey, I'm sorry, I poked all the holes in your little blue bag with a needle. I just really want a baby.

Even if you won't let me go out to work, it's fine as long as he stays home with me.

Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?

What's a good name for him/her?

Ahhh! I'm so afraid you'll be angry if you find out, honey, please don't scold me QAQ

Finally, I also drew some cute little emoticons.

His strokes were powerful, almost piercing through the entire sheet of paper.

Just by looking at it, you can imagine the nervous yet excited feeling his girl had when she wrote those words.

If everything goes as usual, he might still go home, receive the test results from his wife hesitantly, and have a small argument.

Then, he would still hold his wife and look forward to their future.

He would accept anything and do anything as long as Yao Yao wanted it and was happy.

What a pity...

With his Yao Yao gone, the human world has no reason to exist anymore.

After all, human nature is truly... the most fascinating thing.

In the end, the phantom image of Lu Fenglin, carrying his wife's corpse, stumbles forward, his steps uneven.

Even Nie Linyuan, Si Jin's adopted son, hadn't reacted yet, let alone Lu You.

Si Jin grabbed their arms first: "Come on, follow me!"

The group followed Lu Fenglin closely, walking step by step, through two completely unrecognizable streets, and finally arrived at the Lu family's white villa.

Lu Fenglin's phantom entered the room, as did Si Jin and Nie Linyuan, but Lu You alone remained at the doorway.

My feet felt as if they were weighed down by something, and I couldn't move them at all.

For so many years, he had been dreaming that his father would come home and that he could be as carefree as he was when he was a child, and act like a spoiled child with his father.

I never expected it to turn out like this.

Nie Linyuan paused, just about to go up and persuade them, when he heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from inside the house.

It looked like some glass container had broken, and extremely cold water was spreading to the doorway.

Lu You's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed inside, taking three steps at a time. He didn't want anything to happen to his father.

After all, for eighteen years, before he met Brother Zhan, his world only consisted of his father!

But when Lu You hurriedly opened the bathroom door after finding the source of the sound, he suddenly stopped, as if he were frozen in place.

Si Jin quickly followed and stood at the door. She saw Lian Zhan break through the glass cover and escape from the extremely cold water in the hidden space of the bathroom.

There wasn't a single good spot on his body.

Even the knuckles of his fingers were bleeding.

Even so, Lian Zhan firmly gripped the Demon-Slaying Sword and aimed it at Lu Fenglin's neck.

Standing behind them were twenty neatly dressed law enforcement angels.
