Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Shura Field
Josie felt inexplicably guilty and subconsciously pulled her hand away.
But instead of pulling away, the hand holding her tightened its grip.
Josie couldn't help but turn to look at Lu Yuyang.
Lu Yuyang could feel Qiao Xi's gaze, but he didn't want to let go.
He was the one who met Josh first, and he could sense that Josh wasn't indifferent to him.
However, Feng Ye beat them to it on the way.
He tried to let her go, but he failed.
Since he can't let go, then he'll just steal it!
Qiao Xi also realized that she and Feng Ye were not actually in a romantic relationship.
In the apocalypse, life is unpredictable; you might never see someone again tomorrow, and there are countless people who live together in mutual dependence.
So she struggled for a moment but failed, then calmed down.
Feng Ye stood quietly by the roadside, without saying a word, like a lurking beast, his eyes filled with icy coldness.
Lu Yuyang was stubborn; despite Feng Ye's bloodthirsty gaze, he led Qiao Xi step by step past him.
"stop!"
The two words were almost squeezed out from between the man's teeth.
After he finished speaking, he straightened up, his long legs under his work pants stomping on the ground, giving people a strong sense of psychological pressure.
As he approached, Lu Yuyang also used his body to shield Qiao Xi.
The two men were less than a meter apart, and their gazes locked, as if a sword were flashing between them.
“Lu Yuyang, for the sake of our past friendship, let her go now, and I may spare your life.”
Feng Ye's eyes were icy cold, as if he would strike dead at any moment.
"I shouldn't have backed down last time, that's why you got there first. You're a second-tier ability user, and so am I. Who'll forgive whom... it's hard to say!"
Standing behind, Josie could clearly feel the murderous intent emanating from the two men.
Their actions have nothing to do with love; it's just possessiveness at play.
She had her own thoughts, and they hadn't actually hurt her, so she didn't want any of them to get hurt.
Just as lightning crackled at Feng Ye's fingertips, Qiao Xi suddenly stepped forward, blocking Lu Yuyang's path, and forcefully pulled her hand away, saying, "Lu Yuyang, you should go back first."
"You're protecting him?"
From Lu Yuyang's perspective, Qiao Xi was blocking Feng Ye behind her, as if the two of them were confronting him.
What could Josie say?
Who can she protect with her shapeshifting ability? She just doesn't want them to fight each other because of her.
Looking at Lu Yuyang's handsome features, she ultimately didn't say the words, "He's my boyfriend."
"You should go back first."
After saying that, Josie kept staring into his eyes.
Lu Yuyang really wanted to snatch Qiao Xi away and take her back, but he took a deep breath and calmed down.
He had to win Josie's heart first, otherwise everything he did would disgust her.
He slowly released her hand, even raising the corners of his lips slightly. "Okay, I'll go back first. I'll find you again when I get back to the base."
After saying that, he glanced at Feng Ye over Qiao Xi's shoulder before turning and leaving.
Lu Yuyang's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
Josie slowly turned to look at him. "Did you just get back or are you going out again?"
His tone was so normal, as if he were asking about today's weather.
Feng Ye's gaze lingered on her face, from her delicate eyebrows and eyes to her full, rosy lips...
It's true that the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.
"Josie, shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Feng Ye's expression seemed calm, but there was an underlying sense of impending danger.
"What explanation?"
Looking into his eyes, she uttered four words.
After listening, Feng Ye chuckled softly, his tone tinged with self-deprecation.
“Fine, if you won’t tell me, then I’ll ask you.” Feng Ye said, taking a step forward, almost touching her face.
"Who was it that told me to act alongside her to persuade Lu Yuyang to back down? And now... what are you doing?"
Josie sighed and, unusually, explained, "I have absolutely no relationship with him."
“Josh, do you think I’m easy to fool? You haven’t been home for days, and you two have been holding hands all the way here…”
He didn't want to admit it, but when he saw the two of them walking hand in hand like a college couple, their perfect match was so glaring that he almost rushed up and separated them.
Josie didn't want to explain, because if she did, she would fall into the trap of proving herself.
She and Feng Ye were not actually boyfriend and girlfriend, and there was no romantic involvement, so she could leave gracefully and decisively in the future.
Her beautiful eyes were like a clear spring, and when she stared at someone, it was as if she were casting a bright hook.
Feng Ye knew this all along, but he still stared into her eyes, wanting to see what she would say.
"Feng Ye... don't forget that we're not a couple."
Hmph... It would have been better not to say anything at all.
He raised his hand and pressed his thumb firmly against her lips. "Josie, I wish I could sew your lips shut."
That mouth of hers is good for nothing more than making him angry; she can't say anything nice.
Qiao Xi wanted to say something more to him, but Feng Ye suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Whether we're a couple or not, you're here with me now. Stay away from him."
Josie took two steps and turned to look at him. "Feng Ye, don't fall for me. I'm not worth it, and... I don't need anyone else's heart."
Feng Ye paused, turned to look at her, and said, "Qiao Xi, you're overthinking things. I know... all you want is a moment of mutual pleasure between adults, fine."
Josie breathed a sigh of relief and let him lead her back to the safe zone.
When they got home, Zhao Wenjing rushed over and hugged her tightly. "Sister Xixi, I'm so glad you're alright. I knew Brother Fengye would find you safely once he got out."
Qiao Xi turned her head and realized that Feng Ye had gone out to find her.
He looked away and patted Zhao Wenjing's head. "I'm also an ability user, so I'll be fine. But you, did anything happen while I was away?"
“No, as soon as I go out, that man upstairs has people follow me.” Zhao Wenjing couldn’t help but laugh. “As soon as someone gets close to me, they chase them away. Sister Xixi, you’re amazing, they all listen to you.”
"They don't listen to me; they're just afraid to die."
Without Feng Ye in charge of the household, even if she were to borrow his power, she wouldn't be able to intimidate them.
Not long after, Grandma Chen cooked steaming hot noodles and invited everyone to sit down and eat.
They talked animatedly all night long.
When night fell, the grandmother and grandson went to their room to sleep.
Josie took a change of clothes to wash up, and returned to her room after washing up.
Feng Ye was already lying in bed, the room was dark and buzzing, and he seemed to be asleep.
She looked away, closed the door, and tiptoed to the bedside.
He lay down next to Feng Ye, hugged the blanket, and was about to close his eyes and go to sleep.
The man next to her suddenly rolled over and pinned her to his body.
"Fengye..."
If a man's eyes are truly fixed in the darkness, and since her heart is still wavering, then he should use his actions to pull her heart back!
