Chapter 45: Kill, kill, it’s the kill of killing!

The roar of the insect swarm caused dust to fall from the dome of the warehouse. The seven pairs of compound eyes of the lord insect glowed scarlet in the shadows. Every time its giant pincers swung down, it brought up a gust of fishy wind and splashed gravel.

When Ye Heng once again struggled to sweep away the front row of insects, Lin Yao quickly weaved an ice-blue defensive net to give the four sentinels some breathing time.

Ye Mang and the other two were already showing signs of dejection, relying on the last bit of willpower to hold on.

Only Ye Heng was still standing at the front. The casual clothes he had finally put on were already soaked with insect blood. The blue-green color dyed the light-colored clothes into a mess, like a child's graffiti.

But he was still as tall and straight as a pine tree. Mo Yun also narrowed the range of the battle. He was only three meters away from Ye Heng. His scales were no longer erected, and his tongue was spitting out weakly, which showed that he was extremely exhausted.

Ye Heng raised his hand to wipe off the blue-green liquid on his neck, and his eyes swept over the source of the insect tide and the wormholes that were still pouring out. The last trace of warmth in his eyes also sank.

Forty minutes have passed, but the rescue from the Red Shadow Legion has not arrived!

"withdraw."

A single word rang out in the fishy air. Ye Heng's voice was colder and harder than the carapace of a lord insect, carrying with it an oppressive feeling that brooked no room for argument.

Ye Mang suddenly raised his head, his face stained with blood and scars twisted into a ball: "Marshal! Let's go together! We can hold on--"

"Hold on until you die?" Ye Heng turned his head to look at him, his eyes like a knife tempered with ice, "I told you to retreat."

He took a step forward, and his figure instantly blocked the crowd. Mo Yun let out a low hiss and forced back the three Zergs that were rushing towards him.

"Ye Mang, go check the reinforcements' movements." Ye Heng's voice was smooth, yet filled with a firmness like a landslide. "This is an order."

"Marshal!" Xu Li clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "You are alone—"

"I let you go!" Ye Heng suddenly raised his voice, and the pressure of his mental power spread out like a tide, which made Ye Mang and others' knees go weak and almost fall to their knees.

That was the absolute suppression unique to high-level sentinels, mixed with a tempered murderous aura that would not tolerate any disobedience.

"It's more useful to stay alive than to die here."

Yan Rufeng helped Zhao Kun, who had been thrown to the ground by the Zerg, up and whispered, "The Marshal is right. If we stay, we will only hinder us. We might as well go find reinforcements."

Ye Mang wanted to argue with red eyes, but Ye Heng had already turned to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao was standing at the same place where he had just come in, his chest heaving. The repeated use of his healing and drainage abilities had almost drained his mental strength, and his face was as pale as paper.

"You go too." Ye Heng's voice slowed down a bit, but still carried a commanding tone. "Follow them, and you'll be safe once you get out."

Lin Yao looked into Ye Heng's dark green eyes. The persistence in them was very similar to when they first met.

He walked a few steps closer to Ye Heng, and Shasha wrapped his hands around Ye Heng's wrist. Mo Yun took the initiative to move over and rested his head on his palm.

The light of healing and guidance comes on, faint but firm, like the last flame before burning out.

"Alright." Lin Yao withdrew his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly. "Mo Yun's injuries have been healed, and your overdraft has been reduced a bit."

He said to Ye Heng, "I'll go with them."

Ye Heng stared at him, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Ye Mang and his companions did not dare to delay and headed towards the exit, hoping that Ye Heng could hold on a little longer, at least until they found Chi Ying's reinforcements.

The few of them walked through the messy auction hall and were only a few steps away from the gate of Jiuchen Auction House. Lin Yao suddenly stopped and watched the four of them run out of the gate.

"Guide Lin?" Ye Mang noticed from the corner of his eye that Lin Yao did not catch up. He was stunned and turned around and exclaimed.

Lin Yao did not respond, but just raised his hand and drew a line in the air.

An ice-blue energy barrier instantly rose from the ground, sealing the entire entrance tightly. Defensive runes flowed on the surface of the barrier, and even the brown bear's fist could not break it.

"What are you doing! You promised to leave!" Ye Mang was so anxious that veins on his forehead bulged. He turned around and was about to smash the barrier, but the barrier didn't move at all.

Lin Yao's voice was very soft: "Go find reinforcements."

He took one last look at the anxious people outside the barrier, then rushed back without looking back to find the figure who was still fighting the insect swarm alone.

"Come back!" Ye Mang roared and was about to attack the barrier again, but was stopped by Yan Rufeng.

Yan Rufeng looked at the direction where Lin Yao disappeared. There was no anxiety in his eyes, but instead a kind of calmness that was almost understanding.

He paused, looked at the ice-blue barrier, and then glanced at Lin Yao's disappearing figure: "Perhaps our existence is the obstacle."

"Let's go." After Yan Rufeng said that, he let go of Ye Mang's arm and ran towards the stairs leading to the upper floor.

Ye Mang was stunned with red eyes. He looked at the auction hall where there was no one. He listened to the sounds of insects and energy collision coming from the cave. His fists clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound. Then he turned around and caught up with Yan Rufeng and the others.

-

Scarlet energy suddenly appeared, brushed past Mo Yun's head, and accurately hit the giant claws that the lord insect swung towards Mo Yun.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the indestructible shell bent like inferior metal, and the fragments of the barbs flew onto the ground, burning small charred holes.

Ye Heng's mental blade just swept across a group of small insects, temporarily suppressing the tide of insects rushing towards him.

The smelly insect blood splattered on his jawline, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He turned his head abruptly to look at the source of the energy.

The smoke and dust at the entrance were pushed away by an invisible force, and Lin Yao was walking towards him step by step.

The aura of healing no longer lingered around him, but an almost tyrannical sense of oppression. That was the Lin Yao that Ye Heng had never seen before.

"You..." Ye Heng's throat tightened, and he was about to ask him why he came back, but was interrupted by Lin Yao raising his hand.

Lin Yao didn't say anything, but just looked up at the lord insect that had lost one of its claws and was making a deafening roar.

Then he looked at Ye Heng: "You once asked me which Sha is the Sha in Sha Sha."

Without waiting for him to respond, Lin Yao said, "Sha in shasha means killing."

The ten ferocious vines that Ye Heng had seen in the replay video of the training ground appeared.

Gilded and scarlet colors moved crazily on the vines, with absolute violence that could ignite at the slightest touch. They avoided the position where Ye Heng was standing, strung the attacking insects into a string, and madly absorbed their energy.

Their instant appearance seemed to drain the air, and even the roar of the lord insects was delayed for half a second.

Then, ten vines recreated the shadow battle on the training ground in a one-to-one scale.

They are like ferocious beasts with independent consciousness, giving the insects here a spectacular death.

Beheading, piercing, whipping, breaking in half, crushing shells, etc. Some insects that are too weak cannot last more than a second in the hands of the scarlet vines, and they don't even have a chance to struggle.

Ten vines stirred up a bloody storm in the insect swarm, and finally sucked them dry. The energy of the insects was then transformed and replenished Lin Yao's mental power that was about to run out.

As his mental strength recovered, Lin Yao's healing power surged out like a tide, repairing Ye Heng and Mo Yun.

"Marshal Ye, please keep it a secret this time!" Lin Yao smiled at Ye Heng.

A chuckle sounded in the warehouse full of insect corpses. Ye Heng, who had recovered from the shock, looked at Mo Yun who was fighting side by side with the ten vines and laughed. Lin Yao really surprised him!

"Keep it a secret?" Ye Heng raised an eyebrow, the shock in his eyes completely faded, leaving only a knowing smile and a hint of barely perceptible indulgence. "Of course I'll keep it a secret. It depends on what you're willing to pay for it."

He stepped forward and said, "But for now, let's deal with this big guy first."

Lin Yao nodded in agreement. Some things should be discussed after getting out of here!

The Lord Worm watched the tribe he brought with him being slaughtered in such a tragic way, and fear appeared in his seven pairs of compound eyes for the first time.

It tried to retreat, but two vines quickly wrapped around its remaining giant claws and all its limbs.

The interwoven patterns of gold and scarlet seemed to carry a curse. Every time it tightened a little, the shell would break into pieces.

Before it could even consider the cracked shell, Mo Yun also wrapped around it simultaneously. With the double force, the twenty-meter-tall lord insect collapsed without even a whimper.

The death of the Overlord Worm and the worm swarm brought a moment of respite. The two took advantage of this gap to approach the wormhole and stopped when they were ten meters away from it.

The faint sound of insects can be heard from the other side of the wormhole.

"The wormhole must be sealed." Ye Heng looked at the swirling black crack deep in the warehouse. "Worps are still pouring out of it. Blowing it up is the fastest way."

Lin Yao: "Do you have a way to blow it up?"

After getting Ye Heng's affirmation, Lin Yao asked, "How can I help you?"

"Don't let them out of the cave." Ye Heng said this, and then continued: "Help me guide them again."

Lin Yao did not hesitate at all. His fingertips passed across, and ten vines intertwined with gold and scarlet, with ferocious star-shaped serrations, hung above the wormhole, forming a physical strangulation interception device.

Those insects that emerged or were about to emerge were eaten by the ruthless Shasha. Mo Yun wanted to join in the fun, but was whipped by Shasha and his scales were instantly burnt.

Lin Yao quickly asked Mo Yun to come over and treat it: "Mo Yun, Shasha is a little bit bad-tempered right now, don't provoke him."

The way Lin Yao explained for Shasha was just like an old father who was worried sick when his rebellious son had a disagreement with his good friend.

"Alright," he patted Mo Yun and turned to look at Ye Heng, "The bugs can't get out, so just focus on preparing."

After saying that, he performed a counseling session for Ye Heng according to his request. This time, Lin Yao secretly added some strong purple purifying power.

After the counseling was over, Ye Heng took a deep breath, took Mo Yun back into his mental image, closed his eyes, and condensed all his mental power into a walnut-sized energy block.

It was a force compressed to the extreme, glowing with danger, and would explode prematurely if not handled with care.

"Are you ready?" Lin Yao glanced at him while paying attention to Shasha's interception.

Ye Heng opened his eyes, with unquestionable determination in his eyes, and then pointed to the right where there was a pillar.

After the energy block exploded, they still had to observe whether the wormhole collapsed, so they could not leave immediately and could only find shelter.

"Walk!"

He threw the energy block fiercely towards the wormhole. The energy drew an arc and fell accurately into the dark crack. At the same time, it killed and ate a worm and quickly returned to Lin Yao's wrist.

Five seconds later, just as the two men arrived at the pillar and had not yet stood still, a violent explosion came from deep within the wormhole.

The shock wave rushed out madly, carrying rubble and heat waves. The walls of the warehouse groaned under the heavy burden, and there were tiny sounds coming from above.

"careful!"

The two voices rang out at the same time, but Ye Heng's movements were even faster.

He pulled Lin Yao into his arms, forcing him to squat down. Ye Heng faced the falling stones with his back.

His clothes were torn by the gravel and severe pain came from his back, but he held the person in his arms tightly and refused to let go.

The moment Lin Yao was pressed on the chest by him, he flipped his wrist and Shasha immediately rose from under the feet of the two men, forming a protective shield that blocked most of the gravel and heat waves outside.

The vines were shaken violently by the shock wave, and the gold and scarlet lines flickered.

The roar of the explosion gradually subsided.

In the smoke and dust, the two stood up and saw that the wormhole was collapsing and then slowly disappearing until there was no trace left, leaving only the smoke and dust and the pungent smell of burning in the warehouse.

If it weren't for the countless Zerg corpses lying here, the wormhole would seem as if it had never existed.

-

Seeing this, Ye Heng's tense body and mind relaxed. His face turned pale, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

His body swayed, and he was able to keep steady only by relying on the pillar behind him.

Seeing that he was not in a good state, Lin Yao looked over his shoulder and took a breath.

Ye Heng's clothes, already in a mess from the battle, became even more tangled due to the blood flowing out.

Several sharp pieces of gravel were half embedded in the flesh, with blackened marks on the edges, which made people's scalp tingle just by looking at them.

Lin Yao was protected by Ye Heng just now and didn't notice it. Only now did he see that he was so seriously injured.

He quickly walked around behind Ye Heng, and just as his fingertips were about to touch the wound, he suddenly pulled them back.

"Shasha was too slow in providing the protective shield." Lin Yao's tone was filled with a hint of self-blame.

"Oh, you can't say that. I was too quick. The 3S sentry is fast!" Ye Heng directly refuted Lin Yao's self-blame and blamed himself for his injury.

Lin Yao laughed out of anger, then deliberately said: "Your back is really a mess."

Ye Heng chuckled softly, and the pain from his wound made his brows furrow tightly, and fine cold sweat oozed from his forehead: "Stop talking nonsense."

Lin Yao placed his hand on Ye Heng's back, some distance away from the wound, releasing his mental power to relieve the pain. Just as he was about to pull it out, he was stopped by Ye Heng.

"Are you going to murder me just because I'm not as good as you?" Ye Heng's voice was full of ridicule.

Lin Yao finally realized how bad the environment here was.

The warehouse was filled with the stench of Zerg body fluids, gravel and Zerg corpses were scattered on the ground, and even fine dust was floating in the air.

Such an environment is not suitable for delicate healing treatment. Rashly pulling out the stones that have been smashed into the flesh may allow contaminants to seep into the wound.

After Lin Yao looked around, his voice was filled with suppressed anxiety: "We need to find a cleaner place."

Ye Heng leaned his shoulders against the pillar, the pain in his back coming in waves like a tide. Even with Lin Yao's mental power soothing him, every breath was accompanied by pain.

He forced himself to straighten his back and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go out first."

Lin Yao walked back to him, his eyes swept across his pale face, then across his sweat-soaked forehead: "Can you still hold on?"

Ye Heng raised his eyes and looked at him. Although there was fatigue in his eyes, they were still surprisingly bright.

He was silent for two seconds, then suddenly raised his right hand. The cuff at his wrist was worn, revealing dirty skin, but he steadily extended it towards Lin Yao:

"Excuse me, Guide Lin, for being my crutch."

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

He looked at the hand hanging in the air, its knuckles distinct and its palms covered with thin calluses from years of holding weapons.

He didn't say anything more, but reached out and held the hand. The moment their palms touched, he could clearly feel the slight trembling of the other's fingertips caused by pain.

"Hold on tight." Lin Yao's voice softened. He adjusted his posture so that Ye Heng's weight could rest more steadily on him. "Don't blame me if you fall."

Ye Heng chuckled softly, and the pain caused by the wound made him gasp for air. However, he tightened his grip on Lin Yao's hand and said, "With your crutch, I won't fall."

The two of them relied on each other for support and moved out of the warehouse step by step.

Lin Yao controlled Shasha, clearing the scattered obstacles in front of him. At the same time, he had to pay attention to Ye Heng's condition and remind him from time to time:

"Slow down, there are steps ahead."

"There's gravel on the left, lift your feet."

Ye Heng leaned against him and could smell the faint, indescribable scent of grass and trees on him, mixed with the smell of gunpowder, which was unexpectedly reassuring.

The wound on his back was still aching slightly, but holding Lin Yao's hand and feeling the other's steady steps, he suddenly felt that the pain was not so unbearable.

Lin Yao supported Ye Heng and walked out of the warehouse step by step, leaving the messy battlefield.

-

The Red Shadow Legion's warships were sailing steadily in the universe. Outside the ship was the deep universe, and the stars seemed to be within reach.

After coming out of the warehouse of Jiuchen Auction House, Lin Yao looked around the hall which had been very noisy not long ago.

Although there are also Zerg corpses and remains, this place is much cleaner and tidier than the warehouse. At least there is no pungent burnt smell and fishy odor.

After asking Ye Heng and getting his consent, he originally wanted to help Ye Heng clean up the remaining gravel on his back.

Lin Yao put the overturned chair in place and sat on it first to test whether it was firm.

After verification, he carefully helped Ye Heng sit down, and then looked around, hoping to find some medical supplies.

"Don't look for it anymore." Ye Heng's voice came from behind, a little weak but still clear.

Lin Yao turned around and looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

"Ye Mang and the others are here." Ye Heng leaned back on the sofa, his face still pale. "Let the professionals handle it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao nodded and no longer insisted. He left professional matters to professionals. He returned to Ye Heng, placed his hand on his shoulder and continued to use his mental power to relieve his pain.

Not long after, Ye Mang rushed in from the gate with a few people, including Yan Rufeng.

Seeing Ye Heng and Lin Yao safe and sound, the anxiety on Ye Mang's face finally faded a little: "Marshal! How are you?"

Yan Rufeng didn't say much, but walked directly to Ye Heng and carefully examined the wound on his back, frowning slightly and looking serious:

"The wound... is very deep. I'll give you some emergency treatment first."

He quickly took out the first aid kit he carried with him and performed emergency treatment on Ye Heng's wound, disinfecting, pulling out, stopping bleeding, and bandaging it in an orderly manner.

After treating Ye Heng's wound, Yan Rufeng turned to Lin Yao and briefly checked his condition:

"You're fine, it's just that your mental energy is a bit depleted, so you need to replenish it."

Afterwards, Ye Mang and his companions carefully carried Ye Heng, while Yan Rufeng signaled Lin Yao to follow. The group left the Jiuchen Auction House and boarded the warship of the Red Shadow Legion.

The warship was fully equipped, and Ye Heng was sent directly to the repair cabin for treatment.

Under Yan Rufeng's arrangement, Lin Yao drank some supplements to replenish his mental strength, took a hot bath, and lay down in a small treatment chamber.

The gentle energy in the treatment chamber enveloped him, and his fatigue quickly dissipated.

Coming out of the treatment chamber, Lin Yao opened the door and saw Ye Mang and others waiting there, their words and actions full of worry and anxiety.

"Guide Lin, you're out." Ye Mang saw Lin Yao while pacing, quickly suppressed his emotions, put on a smiling face and greeted him.

"Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, the Marshal wouldn't know what would have happened."

Zhao Kun also said: "Yes, you are really great! You dare to accompany the master to face those insects together. You are so brave!"

Ye Mang continued to say that although he did not know the specific process of the battle, it did not prevent him from imagining the details based on Ye Heng's wounds and the mess on the ground, and he imagined a big drama.

The battle was fierce. The marshal was wounded bravely, and Lin Yao was also very brave.

Even in the face of such difficulties, Guide Lin still helped the Marshal build a spiritual barrier and eliminate negative energy, which enabled the Marshal to win the battle.

In his description, 'Lin Yao' is a good guide who is not afraid of Ye Heng's spirit, is extremely brave, and is willing to always stand firmly on the side of the Marshal and fight alongside him.

While he was talking, he also asked Zhao Kun and the others. The key point was that Zhao Kun and the others actually answered:

"Isn't Guide Lin very handsome?"

"yes!"

"Isn't Guide Lin very brave?"

"yes!"

"So, are Guide Lin and the Marshal a good match?"

"match!"

“....”

Lin Yao was so embarrassed that his eyes kept searching the floor. This floor was really dull!

Yan Rufeng stood aside. He did not join in the inexplicable excitement of Ye Mang and the others. He simply patted Lin Yao's shoulder with a look of knowing approval in his eyes: "Your performance was outstanding."

"By the way! The warship's floor is made of a whole piece of alloy material," Yan Rufeng smiled warmly in the face of Lin Yao's accusing eyes.

-

Just when Lin Yao was in a dilemma, the lights in Ye Heng's treatment room finally went out.

Yan Rufeng was the first to go in and then closed the door. He wanted to check Ye Heng's condition first.

The door of the treatment chamber slowly opened, and energy mist swirled out. Ye Heng had already sat up by himself.

The wound on his back had healed, leaving only a light pink scar, but his face still had the paleness of the illness.

He raised his hands to support the edge of the warehouse, as if he wanted to stand up directly.

"Lie down." Yan Rufeng walked over quickly, his tone clearly disapproving, and reached out to press his shoulder, "You should know what that rock hit."

Ye Heng paused and sat back in the treatment chamber obediently, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the treatment chamber, his voice a little hoarse: "I know."

"If you hadn't found ten plant guides to build a toxin isolation bag next to my spine five years ago, I would have been a madman now." Ye Heng smiled self-deprecatingly.

"This time, the rock hit the isolation bag, loosening it and allowing the toxin to seep in, right?"

Yan Rufeng didn't deny it. He was scanning the back of Ye Heng's neck with a detector. The green ripples on the screen had become disordered:

"The shockwave from the explosion and the rock cracked three joints of the isolation bag. The toxin spread through the bloodstream by 0.3%. It's not much, but you shouldn't move now."

In the battle five years ago, when Ye Heng killed the mother hive worm with his own hands, he was injected with this neurotoxin by the opponent's tail stinger.

It specifically devours mental power. Once it invades the brain, it will cause people to fall into permanent mania and eventually die of exhaustion.

It was Yan Rufeng who mobilized all his connections and found ten plant guides. Before the poison reached his brain, they wove an isolation bag in his body, locking the poison near his spine, thus preserving his sanity.

"How long will the repair take?" Ye Heng asked, his eyes falling on the vague figure outside the cabin door. He knew that Lin Yao was still outside.

"I don't know." Yan Rufeng put away the detector and said in a serious tone, "I'll have to go back and do a comprehensive inspection to know. Maybe it can be repaired, maybe..."

"I know." Ye Heng interrupted him, "Don't let him know."

He didn't want Lin Yao to know this. The guide who would blame himself for being a step slower in weaving a protective shield for Sha Sha didn't need to worry about his old injury anymore.

Yan Rufeng saw the determination in his eyes and sighed, "I will arrange the best medical team. Also, Ye Mang and the others are outside..."

"Let them guard it." Ye Heng lay back in the treatment room, "Don't let him in. Just say I need to observe."

Yan Rufeng nodded, knowing who this 'he' was, and turned around to go out and deal with the people outside.

When he reached the door, Ye Heng called him again. He still wanted to see Lin Yao.

Yan Rufeng paused and looked back at the people in the treatment room. Ye Heng had his eyes closed, but his jawline was tense.

In the end, he didn't say anything, just replied with an "hmm" and pushed the door open and went out.

-

Lin Yao was being held outside by Ye Mang, continuing to talk about horse-playing. When he saw Yan Rufeng coming out, he immediately went to greet him: "How is Ye Heng?"

"The Marshal has recovered well, but he still needs to rest." Yan Rufeng stepped aside. "He said he wanted to see you."

Lin Yao's eyes lit up and he walked quickly into the treatment room.

As soon as he stepped through the door, Shasha in the mental image suddenly became agitated, and the vine-like mental body twisted wildly with an inexplicable excitement.

The closer you get to the treatment chamber, the more obvious this excitement becomes.

Lin Yao frowned, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and walked towards Ye Heng first.

The door of the treatment chamber has been opened. Ye Heng is half leaning on the pillow. His face is still a little pale, but he looks much better.

Seeing Lin Yao coming in, Ye Heng motioned him over.

"How do you feel?" Lin Yao sat down on the chair next to him.

"It's okay." Ye Heng asked him to move his chair further away. The energy in the treatment chamber was a little cold. "I'm just a little tired."

"I've already sent a message to the Delin family. Ye Mang will send you back. I'm sure I'll be very busy after this incident, so..."

Lin Yao nodded and said it was okay, let Ye Mang send him off, and don’t delay his work.

After chatting for a few sentences, Ye Heng suddenly rang the response bell at the cabin side. Yan Rufeng opened the door and asked with his eyes what was the matter?

"Call Ye Mang in."

Ye Mang, who was outside the door, responded quickly and came in immediately, closing the door behind him. "Marshal, are you feeling better?"

Ye Heng said it was okay, then asked him, "Where are the things?"

Ye Mang understood and took out an exquisite black box from the storage ring. He handed it to Ye Heng with both hands, then nodded to Lin Yao, tactfully retreated, and closed the door.

Ye Heng handed the box to Lin Yao, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "This is for you."

Lin Yao took it doubtfully, and the moment he opened the box, his pupils shrank slightly.

Lying inside is the glittering "Pink Heart" at the auction. Layers of pink halos flow in the box, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

Lin Yao looked at Ye Heng in disbelief, moving his mouth for a long time but saying nothing.

Ye Heng looked at his shocked expression, a smile on his face: "How is it? Are you surprised?"

Lin Yao blinked, hesitated for a long time, and then said tactfully: "Ye Heng, we can't buy it for free."

Ye Heng was stunned at first, then he laughed softly at his words. His laughter affected the isolation bag in his spine, causing him to cough twice.

"Who told you it was free?"

"You don't think we looted Jiuchen's warehouse while we were fighting the Zerg, do you?"

As he spoke, he took out his computer and clicked on the transaction record.

The screen clearly showed a transfer of 300 million star coins. The recipient was the official account of Jiuchen Auction House, and the transaction took place just a few hours ago.

Lin Yao looked at the string of numbers, opened his mouth, and for a long time, he couldn't say anything. Three hundred million star coins for a large pink stone? This is too...

"Do you like it?" Ye Heng put away his laptop and looked at his face with a barely perceptible nervousness.

Lin Yao looked at the pink heart in the box, then looked at the seriousness in Ye Heng's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

He closed the box, looked up and smiled at Ye Heng: "I like it, but... it's too expensive."

Ye Heng held his hand holding the box, and gently stroked the back of his hand with his fingertips: "This is for you, it's not expensive."

The treatment room became quiet, with only the slight hum of the treatment equipment.

Lin Yao looked at Ye Heng's face so close to him, and suddenly remembered that the person who took the picture of the stone was from box number one on the second floor.

"Ye Mang is in the box." Ye Heng answered Lin Yao's question after he asked it unconsciously.

"So Chen Yan? Are you venting my anger?" Lin Yao instantly understood why the price of Box No. 1 was raised when Chen Yan was about to bid 90 million for the mecha blueprint.

"That's right. People who don't keep their promises should be punished. He should be thankful that you don't like that mecha blueprint." Ye Heng said calmly.

Lin Yao's face turned red instantly, and his heart started beating rapidly again.

Because he didn't like it, Chen Yan only lost money; because he liked it, this pink heart was already in his hands.

It must be said that it was hard not to feel secretly happy when someone could do this for him! He understood those who were tempted by money. It turned out that money was a great tonic.

"In your next assessment, be careful and think twice before you act." Ye Heng talked about his upcoming assessment on the Desolate Planet. "Keep your distance from that kid from the Shen family."

Lin Yao responded to Ye Heng's words one by one, chatting intermittently until Yan Rufeng reminded him three times. After that, he opened the door and issued an ultimatum:

"In the last minute, if you don't let Lin Yao out, I'll give you anesthesia!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left.

Lin Yao smiled awkwardly, "Then I'll go out first, you have a good rest."

Ye Heng nodded and saw him off with a smile in his eyes.

Lin Yao walked to the door and put his hand on it, but he seemed to have made some decision and returned to the treatment room where Ye Heng was lying. He faced Ye Heng and asked him teasingly if he was reluctant to leave.

Lin Yao frowned and asked, "Is there something in your body?"
