Seeing Chang Jie rush towards the enemy like a moth to a flame, Zhao Youliang quickly endured the excruciating pain and reached out to hug him.

"Egg Boy is back, you can't beat him!"

"We've really been tricked! Run! Run with Dog Brother!"

It was during this brief delay that Hu Xiaochuan, possessed by a ghost, stabbed at him again with a butcher's knife.

"Heh heh, run? You're all staying here today!"

At this critical moment, Li Mao, who was closest to the victim, stepped forward.

He swung his fist, the size of a steamed bun, and slammed it into Hu Xiaochuan's big face.

"Holy crap, is this never going to end? Are you addicted to it?"

"If I don't beat you to death today, I'll have lived a wasted life!"

While Li Mao was entangled with Hu Xiaochuan, Liao Zhiyuan took out his magic weapon to guard against He Xiulian, and shouted at the grasshopper spirit at the same time.

"Old Immortal Steel Plate, why aren't you going to check on Quantum and Chang Jie?!"

Upon hearing this, the grasshopper spirit finally snapped out of its shock and rushed to Zhao Youliang and Chang Jie's side with a howl and a sob in its voice.

"Quantum, Young Master Chang Jie, are you... are you alright?"

"If anything happens to you, I, Old Grasshopper, won't be able to live either!"

"We just want to live a peaceful and quiet life, why is it so difficult?!"

Sensing the grasshopper spirit's sincerity, Zhao Youliang forced himself to speak despite the intense dizziness.

"Old Master Steel Plate, don't worry about me for now, take a look at Xiao Jie."

"He...he's badly injured...please check on him..."

Upon hearing this, the grasshopper spirit immediately and hurriedly took Chang Jie and held him in her arms.

He then took out the healing medicine he had saved up through frugality and sprinkled it on Chang Jie's broken eggshell, which was constantly oozing pale golden liquid, as if it were free.

"Young Master, you can't be hurt!"

"You're a good person, old grasshopper, I haven't had enough time with you yet!"

"Promise me you won't die, even if it means I, Old Grasshopper, will die in your place!"

At this moment, the grasshopper spirit was anxious entirely out of her own emotions, not because of Chang Jie's identity or background, and not because she was worried about being implicated.

This is understandable: among Zhao Youliang's gang, Chang Jie was the most obedient and sensible.

Although he rarely speaks, he silently cares for everyone in his heart.

For example, when the grasshopper spirit drinks too much, she will quietly cover him with a blanket.

Every time we eat, she floats around and serves rice and chopsticks to everyone.

Every morning after Chang Jie finished washing up, he would listlessly wake up the grasshopper spirit and shave his beard.

After shaving, it will rub its chubby little head against the grasshopper spirit's chin, and if it doesn't feel prickly, then it's clean.

And this kind of life has been going on for a very long time... so long that the grasshopper spirit has come to believe that this happy and peaceful life will continue indefinitely.

Knowing that he would slowly grow old and die peacefully in the temple...

Therefore, the grasshopper spirit, who had never had any relatives, had completely regarded Chang Jie as his own grandson.

Because such thoughts were considered "disrespectful," the grasshopper spirit kept them buried deep in her heart and silently enjoyed Chang Jie's company.

And now... this hard-won happy time has been ruined by Cheng Chun and He Xiulian!

......

Seeing that his medicine was ineffective, Chang Jie's already pale face grew even paler and he became increasingly weak. Finally, the grasshopper spirit panicked completely.

It's like watching your only grandson, your well-behaved, adorable, and never-annoying little grandson, about to die in your arms.

"Young Master Jay!!"

Hearing the grasshopper spirit's call, Chang Jie tried to move his body.

Because both eyes were already "blind," they could only sense the location of the grasshopper spirit.

"Old Immortal Grasshopper, don't cry. Actually... I'm not really afraid of dying."

"As the master said, death is like returning home; it is merely the beginning of another cycle."

"I...I just can't bear to part with my father, my mother, my stepmother, Quantum and you, and everyone else."

"I'll miss my eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle..."

Every time Chang Jie mentioned a person, a roar like thunder echoed through Wanlong Mountain—or rather, a dragon's cry!

Chang Huaiyuan, the head of the Chang family, dressed in white, stood atop the mountains, sword in hand.

His long robe fluttered in the wind, and a murderous aura soared into the sky, accompanied by the rolling roar of a dragon.

"Xiao Jie!!"

Just as the mountains of corpses and seas of blood were beginning to appear, and the head of the Chang family was about to take a step forward, the head of the Hui family, Master Hui Liu, suddenly appeared.

He grabbed Chang Huaiyuan's hand holding the sword and shook his head with a solemn expression.

"Brother, no! Things are not beyond repair!"

"As the master said, there is great terror between life and death, but also great opportunity."

"Wasn't our plan to bring Chang Jie into the world all for this opportunity?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Huaiyuan stopped in his tracks, but the mountain of corpses behind him continued to tremble and the sea of ​​blood continued to roar.

Seeing this, Master Gray could only continue speaking with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, my dear brother, Xiao Jie will be fine."

"If, by any chance... then you Chang family won't need to step in. This old man will personally take action and kill him cleanly and honestly!"

"Then he committed suicide to apologize to the master..."

After hearing this, the Northern Blood Dragon let out a long breath, then sheathed his sword, took the red wine gourd hanging from his waist, and began to gulp down the wine.

He was unaware that the wine had soaked his clothes.

After drinking heavily, Chang Huaiyuan suppressed his murderous intent and transformed back into the peerless and independent white-clad gentleman.

He then took out another pot of fine wine and handed it to the head of the Hui family: "Sixth Brother, today we brothers should get drunk together."

Without any hesitation, Master Hui Liu gulped down his drink before speaking.

"Brother, Xiao Jie's injuries are clearly not serious, so why is his life in danger?"

Chang Huaiyuan sighed, “Sixth Brother, you don’t know this: the Master said that Xiao Jie is a born anomaly, and according to the rules, he shouldn’t live more than three years.”

"Fortunately, the master personally intervened to defy fate and change his destiny: the eggshell on his body was a 'placenta' made for him by the master using the essence of heaven and earth, a way to deceive the heavens and the sea."

"It means that Xiao Jie is always born, always in the womb, so that the child can avoid dying young."

"Now the placenta has ruptured... Alas!"

The head of the Hui family was stunned upon hearing this, and after a long while, he slowly lowered his head: "I see, I see..."

Just as the two heads of the family were paying attention to Chang Jie, a new situation arose:

In a fit of grief and rage, Liao Zhiyuan struck fiercely, nearly killing He Xiulian.

Just then, He Xiulian suddenly screamed, "Please, General, save me quickly!"

"I...I'm going to let this kid kill me!!"

"There are other dirty things?!" Just as Liao Zhiyuan was stunned, he suddenly felt a tightness in his ankle. It turned out that a withered hand had firmly grasped him.

Those large hands were like iron clamps, almost crushing Liao Zhiyuan's ankle bones...

Off-screen: I'm taking tomorrow off. My gout is acting up, it's happening day and night, and the pain is unbearable!!
