"It's not casual; I returned for you." His pale green eyes were clear and bright, with a kind of affection that seemed to look at even a dog with deep feeling, but Kong Sang felt it was incredibly hypocritical; this man was a typical "central air conditioner" (someone who is nice to everyone).

"Heh, it's been years, I'll see you off. No need to thank me." Enraged, the person put down Kongsang, and charged forward, accompanied by a dense barrage of water droplets and sharp spikes.

The manor would soon be unwatchable, but the two fought with increasing ferocity, each using their full strength as if they wanted to skin and tear apart the opponent's flesh...

Knowing that his frail body was no match for the fight, Kongsang called for backup.

Upon hearing that there were people who had returned from the apocalypse, Yu Wei and the others were quite shocked. They dumped everything on Lan Ye, who had a dark expression, and all rushed to the castle.

By this time, the two had been fighting for over an hour, and the courtyard that had initially amazed them had long since turned into a wasteland.

Si Yu and Qi Yun Shen each intervened to stop one of them, and the fight finally ended.

Lin Changli's face remained gloomy. Wei Shengyi seemed to have suffered a loss, his face turning slightly pale. He coughed, and Kong Sang looked over.

That one glance completely ignited someone's jealousy. He knew her Sangsang; she never cared about strangers, only about those she cared about.

The water arrows formed extremely quickly, catching everyone off guard with their surprise attack.

Kong Sang's pupils contracted, not expecting that Lin Changli was really going to kill someone.

She still had things to do with the micro-translator, and there was an inexplicable sense of closeness between them; she didn't want this person to die.

Instinctively, he stretched out his arm, and the thin threads outlined by the purple light instantly shattered the water arrow.

Kong Sang stared blankly at her hands. When did she become so powerful? Was this also a system ability? But hadn't it ignored her for a long time?

"You're helping him?"

A broken and chilling sound rang out, bringing Kong Sang back to her senses as she looked into the wounded, azure eyes.

She quickly stepped forward and put her arm around him: "We're not here to help him. Have you forgotten what we're here for? Calm down."

The dark blue that was about to be released in Lin Changli's eyes receded, and he grabbed Kong Sang's waist, holding her tightly with possessiveness.

Upon seeing this, Wei Shengyi's eyes flickered slightly. He invited the group into the castle's main hall, sat them down, and said, "Please make yourselves at home. Miss Nie can now tell us your purpose."

Lin Changli held her tightly, and Kong Sang didn't struggle. She spoke from his embrace, "I want the crystals from the black market auction. How can you trade them to me privately?"

Wei Shengyi wasn't surprised at all. He fiddled with the teacup in his hand and said, "There's no rule about private transactions in the black market. Whatever you want, the highest bidder gets it."

Kong Sang shook his head: "Rules are meant to be broken. This thing only applies to people who don't have the ability to break the deadlock."

"Hehe, that's right. Well then, I'll make my offer: spend ten nights with me."

"You're asking for death!" Lin Changli immediately exploded. Kong Sang held him back tightly, and Yu Wei and the others also came over to hold Lin Changli down. They all looked at Wei Shengyi with displeasure.

Kong Sang frowned and said, "Are you trying to get revenge on Lin Changli?"

"What happened back then is nothing to me. I secretly contributed a lot to the Lin family's quick disappearance. Before you came along, my relationship with him was quite good."

Kong Sang asked in bewilderment, "Why is that? We've only met once. Women are definitely not something you lack."

With that kind of status, he could have any woman he wanted, so why set such conditions?

Wei Shengyi's eyes darkened slightly: "Don't you also have feelings for me? Give it a try with me, maybe you'll find that I'm more suitable for you."

The person in his arms could no longer be held back, and Kong Sang knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he directly refused, saying, "It seems there's no way to continue this discussion. Farewell."

They had originally intended to ask about returning from the apocalypse, but given Lin Changli's current predicament, they decided it was best to head back first.

Just before leaving, Wei Shengyi said, "Nie Kongsang, you wished for someone to pamper you, why did you refuse?"

The group turned around at the same time, looking at the man with a smile on his lips with surprise.

Kong Sang asked, bewildered, "You are also... a gift."

A dark glint flashed in Wei Shengyi's eyes, but he calmly replied, "Yes, don't I meet your standards?"

With a sharp pain in her waist, Kong Sang groaned as Lin Changli picked her up and strode away.

"Hmm..."

Without a word, once inside the hotel, Lin Changli carried her upstairs, removing her barrier without warning and letting her feel his presence.

She was completely unable to communicate with him because of his delirious state. She had seen Lin Changli like this once before, when they weren't together yet. Lin Changli almost forced himself on her when he lost control, and Si Yu had to come and save her.

At the time, she was only focused on being angry and didn't notice Lin Changli's emotions; now, she feels a pang of sadness.

His deep blue eyes were unfocused, yet his large hands tightly restrained her body, like a bewildered child utterly insecure.

Lin Changli is a very complex man. He is assertive, thick-skinned, and cunning, but he also has his vulnerabilities.

During that unbearable childhood, he had no one to rely on, not even his mother, the only one who could give him a sliver of comfort, who left in a way that felt like a plaything...

She knew this man was proud and sensitive, so she never mentioned those memories of him spying on her in her dreams; she didn't want to reopen his wounds.

But that's no excuse for his outburst. He almost killed her yesterday, and now he's doing it again...

Breaking up has to be on the agenda, otherwise she'll really die.

Looking up and meeting those blank eyes, Kong Sang sighed. Oh well, since they wouldn't be together in the future anyway, she'd consider it compensation. Not only did she not resist or beg for mercy, she let him have his way even more...

Unbeknownst to Kong Sang, his unfocused eyes held a hidden darkness, deliberately making it appear even more intense. After discovering that Kong Sang was silently enduring, a gloom gathered in his eyes.

Sure enough, his unusual behavior this morning wasn't just his oversensitivity; Sangsang probably had other ideas...

Ha, what made her think she was so easy to fool?

After the familiar sound of sobbing rang out, I felt a little bit relieved. I stayed as close as possible to her and held her in my arms to lull her to sleep.

Only then did he take out his phone.

The World Saving Squad:

Haiwang Lili: [Does anyone know if Weisheng Translation and An Xiuqi are related?]

Extramarital Affair is So Sweet: [Holy crap, you're okay? I thought you had another genetic meltdown, and I was hesitating whether to go and be the hero. You're so damn sneaky.]

Deeply speechless: [Stupid. Sirens only lose control because they can't release their desires. I heard about Wei Shengyi during the apocalypse; he once massacred a small base, not even sparing ordinary people. He's no benevolent person.]

Rose with many thorns: [Ahem... well, I just remembered something...]

Extramarital affairs are so appealing: [? ? Tell me, you've even learned to keep me guessing?]

Rose Thorns: [Back then, An Xiuqi only had me by his side. He hadn't met you or Changli yet. He once said that he had prepared a pet for Kongsang, and it was very beautiful...]
