Moreover, Yu Chen's strength will be greatly reduced after his heart blood was extracted, and it will be uncertain whether he can safely leave the village.

"Little fox, don't be silly, I'll be fine." Yu Chen smiled reassuringly at Xu Nian.

He had just lifted his shirt when his eyes widened. "Little fox."

The gaunt old man never expected that the little fox would commit suicide so suddenly, without giving them a chance to stop it.

"Bad luck." The gaunt old man threw Xu Nian aside and, taking advantage of Yu Chen's distraction, clenched his fist into a claw and attacked his heart.

"I'll kill you." Yu Chen's eyes were bloodshot. Facing the gaunt old man who attacked him, he neither dodged nor flinched, letting the other man attack his heart.

The gaunt old man was overjoyed at the sight of him, but before his smile could even bloom, Yu Chen grabbed him by the neck.

His hand, which should have been inserted into the other person's chest, was blocked by an inexplicable force.

Ignoring the gaunt old man's astonished expression, Yu Chen gripped the man's neck tightly with one hand and clenched his fist with the other, repeatedly punching the old man's face.

With just one punch, teeth flew out.

Another punch, and the bridge of his nose broke.

Another punch, and the gaunt old man's face was sunken.

Yu Chen punched the gaunt old man again and again until he was completely lifeless before he let go.

He came to Xu Nian's side, distraught, and picked her up, now in her fox form. His eyes were red as he choked back tears. "Little fox, why were you so foolish? I told you I'd be alright, why wouldn't you believe me?"

Xu Nian, who wasn't quite dead yet, reached out a paw and touched Yu Chen's cheek.

Thankfully, it's another day I've managed to retain 100,000 points.

"Little fox." Yu Chen was overjoyed and grasped the fox's paw on his cheek.
