Xinglan blushed slightly, not expecting Ye Yiqing to confess so directly.

Ye Yiqing continued speaking,

"Hera, do you like me? If you like me too, will you run with me?"

Let's stop doing such dangerous things. I'll take you to a place where there's no danger, no risk to your life, lots of delicious food, and a comfortable living environment!

"Come with me, okay?"

Before Hera could say anything, Xinglan suddenly sensed something was amiss.

"Hey, wait a minute! This isn't right. We're Night Stars, we can't let romantic feelings make us forget our responsibilities!"

Ye Yiqing ignored her, staring straight at Hera with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Ye Ciqing also looked at the two with anticipation.

Hera stared into Ye Yiqing's eyes, then turned to look at Xinglan.

Thinking about what Xinglan had just said, Hera pondered for a moment and then slowly shook her head.

“I don’t know what love is, but Xinglan is right. We can’t leave Night Star because of feelings.”

Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction. Just as she was about to praise Hera, Ye Ciqing's angry roar suddenly rang in her ears.

"Are you fucking stupid! You beast, stop pretending to be all sympathetic!"

"Just say you like it and come with us! That way nothing will happen, isn't that better?!"

Ye Ciqing shouted angrily, veins bulging on his forehead, looking extremely furious.

Xinglan and Hera were both stunned, not understanding why Ye Ciqing suddenly became so angry.

Moreover, at this moment, Ye Ciqing suddenly made Xinglan feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

"Ye Ciqing, are you so emotional because Feng Xuan is dead?"

"Don't worry, the Night Star's higher-ups will definitely revive him later."

Xinglan reached out her hand and asked him with pity in her eyes.

Ye Ciqing took a deep breath and calmed down, then turned to look at Xinglan.

"Xinglan, have you ever considered joining the Light God Society?"

"Huh?" Xinglan was a little surprised, wondering if she had misheard.

Ye Ciqing continued, "Your talent is excellent, the quality of the symbiotic species you possess is also quite good, and most importantly, your personality is so likable. If you want to join, the Light God Society will definitely welcome you!"

"What are you saying? How could I possibly join the Light God Society?"

Xinglan shook her head, looking at Ye Yiqing with some confusion.

"Ye Yiqing, Ye Ciqing seems a bit unstable right now. Why don't you try to persuade him?"

Ye Yiqing remained unmoved, but turned to look at Ye Ciqing and sighed softly.

"Why invite trouble upon yourself..."

Bang!

The moment he finished speaking, Ye Yiqing suddenly unleashed a burning sword aura, striking the computer that was 99% complete and nearing completion.

The computer was slashed open, and after the screen flickered for a moment, it stopped working completely.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Xinglan rushed to the computer, but seeing the completely wrecked computer spewing sparks, her heart sank to the bottom.

She looked at Ye Yiqing with shock and confusion in her eyes.

Ye Yiqing slowly put down the burning knife and smiled faintly at Xinglan.

Ye Ciqing walked to Ye Yiqing's side and sighed helplessly.

"I've been working on this for so long, over a year! And now I have to resort to such a crude method."

"What are you talking about...?"

Xinglan's mind is in a mess right now, and she can't figure out the current situation. Hera is in the same boat.

However, Hera sensed hostility from Ye Ciqing and Ye Yiqing.

"Fine~ I'll tell you out of consideration for our months of teamwork."

As he spoke, Ye Ciqing removed the blindfold from his left eye, and Ye Yiqing also grabbed the blindfold from his right eye.

"We two are undercover agents, our true identities are..."

The two brothers removed their blindfolds, each revealing a scarlet eye that looked like a demon.

"Members of the Light God Society..." Ye Yiqing slowly continued, while the aura unique to [Outcasts] emanated from the two of them.

"You, you all... how could you possibly be traitors!"

Xinglan stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was seeing and hearing.

"You're definitely just pretending for our sake, aren't you! You still care about us! We are..."

Sizzle—!

Ye Yiqing's right eye lit up with a red light, and a scorching laser beam shot out from it, sweeping towards the two of them.

Hera reacted quickly, grabbing Xinglan who hadn't yet reacted, and leaping away from the laser.

The incredibly powerful laser instantly sliced ​​all the computers and other items in the room in half.

Hera remembered that this laser was exactly the same as the one that had been used to rescue the person who had taken Night Kill.

As the laser slowly dissipated, Ye Yiqing once again swung his [Fire-Enchanted] sword, unleashing several sword energies imbued with flames towards the two.

Two bone whips instantly burst forth from Hera's back, quickly stained with scarlet blood, and stood in front of her.

Clang!

When the sword energy collided with the bone whip, the sword energy carrying flames dissipated instantly, while the bone whip also developed several cuts several centimeters deep.

"You two... what exactly is the reason for this..."

Xinglan stepped out of Hera's arms, still refusing to believe that Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing were traitors.

"snort!"

Ye Ciqing gave a cold laugh and waved his hand upwards.

Several bone spikes rose from the ground around the two women and pierced them.

Xinglan reacted at this moment, spread her wings made of stars, and picked up Hera, flying into the air.

The bone spikes missed their target, colliding with each other and producing a loud scraping sound and cracks.

Xinglan understood that this move was clearly aimed at taking their lives.

Two lines of tears slid down Xinglan's cheeks as she looked at Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing on the ground and shouted hoarsely:

"Aren't we partners? We were so happy and joyful together! How could you do this to us?!"

"That's just what you think."

Ye Yiqing held up the knife and answered calmly.

But this seemingly ordinary sentence pierced Xinglan's heart like a blade.

"This isn't an anime or a novel; there's no bond between companions here."

Ye Yiqing's eyes glowed red again, and a laser beam shot straight towards the two of them.

Xinglan narrowly dodged in mid-air and landed on the ground, creating distance between herself and the two.

Recalling the first time she met the two, and the warm days they spent together after they became part of the special investigation team.

Xinglan bit her lip, her gaze hardening as she looked at the two of them, as if she had made a decision.

"Hera! Let's go...kill them!"

Xinglan desperately forced out the last four words from her throat, drew her straight sword, and charged at the two at high speed.

Hera also swung her bone whip and charged at them, but for some reason, she really didn't want to fight them.

I really don't want to...
