Chapter Seventeen: Reunion
After regaining her senses and finding herself unable to break free, Josie realized that she could use her powers.
Her body shrank rapidly and fell to the ground with a "thud".
The scorching breath on my body disappeared, but the lingering sensation seemed to remain.
Josie's cheeks were flushed, but she was now as hard as a rock, and no one could tell that she was made of stone.
Feng Ye felt a sudden emptiness in his arms, and the rope that had been pulling him in the head snapped.
The desire in his eyes vanished like the tide, and his mind quickly returned to clarity.
Staring at his empty arms, his brow furrowed unconsciously.
Soft lips, delicate skin beneath the palm—everything felt so real.
He quickly got up and saw Xing Jiao lying on the ground.
Is it her?
A murderous intent instantly filled Feng Ye's eyes.
wrong!
It wasn't her; her clothes were intact, while he seemed to have torn them open.
The figure was blurry, and he wasn't sure if it was real or an illusion.
"Xing Jiao!"
His voice was icy cold, and Xing Jiao shivered as soon as she woke up and met Feng Ye's gaze.
"You...how did you wake up?"
Xing Jiao's gaze was unfocused, but she forced herself to remain calm.
Feng Ye's lips curled into a cold smile. "Where is Jiang Bai?"
Xing Jiao was genuinely terrified. "Where is he? I don't know."
Feng Ye walked to the door without saying a word and opened it.
After waiting a moment, someone passed by, and he stopped them directly, saying, "Go and call Jiang Bai over, and tell him that Xing Jiao is looking for him."
"good."
Less than five minutes later, Jiang Bai walked in.
Hurrying along, "Sister Jiao, is that Brother Ye...?"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Bai saw Feng Ye standing in the room, his eyes clear, showing no signs of being hypnotized or controlled.
Her already pale face turned even paler.
He knew his strength was inferior to Feng Ye's, but he didn't expect him to wake up so quickly.
"Jiang Bai, do you know why I called you here?"
"I don't know." He glanced cautiously at Xing Jiao on the ground.
But Xing Jiao shrank back like a quail, not even glancing at him.
His body was weakened by the backlash from the superpower.
If Feng Ye were to attack him, he would be powerless to retaliate.
"have no idea?"
After Feng Ye finished speaking, his eyes were filled with coldness.
The next instant, a bolt of lightning struck Jiang Bai on the head. He trembled all over, his hair stood on end, and he rolled his eyes and shook.
After he finished experiencing this wonderful feeling, his mouth twisted, drool was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his pants were full of urine.
Feng Ye's expression was icy cold. "Do you understand now?"
Jiang Bai was crying and sniffling, begging for forgiveness, "I was just following orders, I was wrong, Brother Ye, I'll never do it again."
"This is just a warning. If you dare to lay a hand on me again, I will take your life."
"Yes, yes, I've got it."
Jiang Bai bowed and scraped as he left, saying, "Brother Ye, I'll be going now."
"Jiang Bai, stop right there!"
Xing Jiao didn't want to face Feng Ye alone, so she immediately called out to him.
Jiang Bai was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Xing Jiao".
Xing Jiao trembled when she heard Feng Ye's voice.
"Don't reach your hand near me again, or I will leave the shelter."
Xing Jiao was both angry and furious. She had offered herself up, but Feng Ye not only refused to touch her, but also treated her like trash.
But she knew she had messed things up, and if Feng Yezhen left the shelter, her brother would definitely hold her accountable.

The city was teeming with zombies, and Lu Yuyang spent three days searching for Qiao Xi without success.
He didn't want to face the worst possible outcome, so he persisted.
Just then, he saw survivors passing by ahead.
He immediately dodged behind a stone pillar.
The chaotic footsteps and the man's rough voice mingled as they drew closer to him.
"What is Feng Ye?" the man spat heavily. "He just acts tough in front of the boss because he has some special abilities."
The speaker was a burly man with a thick beard and a defiant expression.
The tall, thin guy next to him quickly grabbed his arm: "Keep the hell down!"
He nervously looked around to make sure no one was watching before speaking, "Last week, Lao Liu touched Zhao Wenjing, and these past few days he's been being used as a human shield by him..."
The bearded man spat dismissively, the thick phlegm landing on the ground just three inches from Lu Yuyang's shoes.
"The girl he brought back," the bearded man suddenly lowered his voice, his tone greasy and disgusting, "is even more exciting than those canaries the boss keeps in Block B. That waist, those legs... If I could sleep with her, I'd be willing to be eaten by zombies."
"Keep your voice down. Feng Ye cherishes her like the apple of his eye. Even the boss doesn't dare to touch her."
The sound gradually faded into the distance.
Lu Yuyang emerged from the shadows, his handsome face shrouded in gloom.

Josie sat on a recliner with her legs draped over a man.
"Lie still, did I say you could move?"
She still twirled the sharp dagger in her hand, occasionally grazing the man's earlobe. "Take one more look, and I'll help you close your eyes forever, okay?"
Her voice was as sweet as melting honey, but her eyes were as cold as an ice cellar.
Cold sweat beaded on the man's forehead, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down: "No...no, I didn't mean to, I just...I just accidentally bumped into you."
She knew that Feng Ye was a special presence here, and even Xing Wu was wary of him.
Besides, she won't stay here for long, so she won't compromise herself at all; she'll take action without hesitation.
Noticing the man was about to get up, Josie kicked him again. "Stay down properly. You can only stand up when you learn to control your hands and eyes, understand?"
Large beads of sweat dripped from the man's forehead.
He dared not resist, for with a single word from Feng Ye, Xing Wu could take his life.
Seeing that the man had calmed down, Josie leaned back.
He just glanced up, and his gaze suddenly froze.
Five meters away in the shadows, Lu Yuyang stood still like a statue.
He was still wearing that black jacket, his handsome face, as clear as a cedar tree, flickering in and out of the dim light, his eyes swirling with emotions that Josie couldn't decipher.
Josie quickly got up and walked towards him.
She asked him with some surprise, "What are you doing here? Looking for me?"
Lu Yuyang pursed his lips and said, "It's good that you're alright."
Josie keenly sensed his emotional fluctuations.
Are you angry?
Josie thought to herself that she had been missing for several days, and it must have taken him several days to find her here; it was indeed not easy.
So she softened her voice and coaxed him, "I didn't mean to not go back, but when my powers were almost exhausted, a zombie kicked me in."
"Didn't you want to stay here?" Lu Yuyang asked, staring into her eyes.
Josie laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you I was going to the safe zone? Why would I stay here?"
Lu Yuyang's gaze swept over the people in the shelter. "Then come with me now, I'll take you away."
Just as Qiao Xi was about to finish speaking, footsteps approached, and Feng Ye's voice could be faintly heard.
She immediately pushed Lu Yuyang forward and squeezed them into a blind corner of the aisle.
