Chapter 66 A Favor That Can't Be Repaid
"Bang!"
With a heavy sound of landing, the demon who was over four meters tall was finally defeated and fell in front of Su Ming.
"Ha ha."
Su Ming hugged Xu Qianqian with one hand and kept the other hand stretched out, gasping for breath as if he had experienced some unbearable nightmare.
“.”
Xu Qianqian still hugged Su Ming tightly, protecting him, until she heard someone fall to the ground behind her. Then she slowly turned her head and looked behind her.
The two of them were in the most intimate posture, and at the same time they cast their gazes on Yi Junchuan who was gradually losing his breath, breathing heavily and remaining silent.
Yi Junchuan slowly lost his life under such circumstances. The charred scales on his body began to fade away, and his ferocious body also began to shrink, and finally returned to its original appearance.
This phenomenon told Su Ming and Xu Qianqian that the battle was really over.
Unfortunately, after experiencing the dangerous scene just now, neither Su Ming nor Xu Qianqian dared to let their guard down.
It was not until a long time later that Xu Qianqian said something in a daze.
"What just happened?"
Because she had her back to Yi Junchuan and was protecting Su Ming in front of her, Xu Qianqian did not see what was happening.
Even Yi Junchuan might not know what exactly happened, because the ice spear that fell from the sky also landed on his back, and he also turned his back to it all.
Only Su Ming witnessed the entire process of the mutation, which made him raise his head and look up into the air.
So, Su Ming saw it.
Under the beautiful moonlit night, a figure surrounded by mist was suspended in the air, quietly releasing water vapor like ripples.
"Mimi—"
Faintly, Su Ming seemed to hear again that voice that sounded like singing and crying, as beautiful as wind chimes, and as pleasant as the sound of nature.
Immediately afterwards, the figure surrounded by mist created ripples on the water and swam towards the end of the night sky like a fish, gradually disappearing from Su Ming's sight.
Su Ming looked at the scene and remained silent for a long time.
"What happened?"
Xu Qianqian's voice woke Su Ming up and made him look at her again.
Because she was wearing a mask, Su Ming didn't know what expression Xu Qianqian had at this moment.
He could only shake his head, wanting to say something but unable to speak.
In the end, Su Ming could only give the result.
"No matter what happens, this time it's really over."
Su Ming said this.
".Yeah?"
Xu Qianqian seemed to have no sense of reality, but she also said nothing. After a long time, she nodded.
Looking at Xu Qianqian like this, Su Ming still couldn't help himself.
"Why did you save me?" Su Ming couldn't help but ask, "You almost died just now."
These words made Xu Qianqian fall silent.
But Xu Qianqian did not remain silent for too long.
"It was indeed very dangerous just now." Xu Qianqian said calmly: "But if you ask me why, I can't answer you. My body moved naturally at that time."
This answer made Su Ming feel somewhat complicated.
He considers himself a relatively realistic person.
Su Ming did not feel very close to Xu Qianqian and only regarded her as a secret partner.
After all, there was a conflict between the two when they first met, and Xu Qianqian continued to cause trouble for him afterwards. If she had not entrusted him with something, and the two had not signed a long-term cooperation contract based on their respective interests, Su Ming would definitely stay away from this young lady.
Otherwise, Su Ming would not have repeatedly put himself in the position of a bystander when Xu Qianqian was preparing to take action, and told her very clearly that he did not want to take action.
Otherwise, when Xu Qianqian had some ideas about the phantom demon cub, Su Ming would not have chosen to let the cub go based on his own position.
Even when Su Ming took action this time, his intention was to let the cub escape back to the Spirit Demon Prison and prevent the huge dispute surrounding the cub, which was very likely to occur, from occurring in Longyao City, disrupting the structure of Longyao City and affecting his own development as well as his family and friends living in Longyao City, rather than to help Xu Qianqian.
In this way, apart from the secret interest relationship between him and Xu Qianqian, there is no other relationship at all.
Under such circumstances, Su Ming really did not expect that in the face of such a crisis, Xu Qianqian would choose to sacrifice herself to protect herself, and even use her body as a shield to protect him.
This made him want to ask Xu Qianqian, is it necessary to do this?
However, Su Ming did not say such words in the end.
He is not a straight man with emotional intelligence problems. Is it necessary to say such sarcastic words at this time? Therefore, Su Ming could only smile bitterly and said something.
"It seems that I owe you a favor that I cannot repay."
This is Su Ming's true thought.
Xu Qianqian did not make any comment on this sentence. She just raised her head, looked around, and then looked up into the air.
"Has the cub escaped yet?"
Xu Qianqian changed the subject, and it was unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional.
"Escaped." Su Ming said directly: "Why? Do you feel it's a pity?"
The bloodline of the nightmare species, an opportunity to join a super hunter family, or even a pass to the Seven Stars. From the perspective of the eldest daughter of the Xu family, she would feel it is a pity, or even unwilling, to let such an important treasure slip away, right?
But no similar emotion could be heard in Xu Qianqian's tone.
"Let it run away. It's not a real nightmare cub anyway. It just has the potential to evolve into a nightmare cub."
Xu Qianqian's tone remained calm, but it couldn't be said that she was insincere.
The other party is indeed only likely to evolve into a nightmare cub, not a real nightmare cub.
Even if it has the potential to evolve into a nightmare species, it is only potential. Whether it can successfully evolve into a nightmare species remains to be discussed.
Of course, even if it is just this, I believe there will be many big families and big forces that will be interested in this cub.
The mentality of luck is something that everyone has, even the big shots.
Therefore, the other party will still become the vortex of struggle.
Su Ming let it go, and this choice could not be said to be wrong.
At least, from the perspective of the entire Base City, many people would agree with his approach, except for those who could gain actual benefits from the cub.
In addition, the other party seemed to have just saved himself and Xu Qianqian, so Su Ming sincerely hoped that it could escape back to the Spirit Demon Prison.
There was only so much he could do.

No matter how much more, he can't do it.
"Let's go." Su Ming said to Xu Qianqian, "It's time to leave here, otherwise it will really attract attention."
As he spoke, Su Ming pointed to the night sky in the distance.
Xu Qianqian took a glance and found that several armed helicopters were flying towards this side.
The commotion here eventually attracted the attention of the base city.
"Let's go, then."
Xu Qianqian didn't want to be caught in this situation, so she grabbed Su Ming's hand and left.
Su Ming let Xu Qianqian hold his hand, and looking at the two holding hands, his mood became more complicated.
"Is this a sequela of the beauty saving the hero plot?"
Su Ming sighed.
"What?"
Xu Qianqian seemed to have heard Su Ming's mumbling and asked subconsciously.
"nothing."
Su Ming shook his head and said no more, asking Xu Qianqian not to ask any more questions.
The two of them left Warehouse Street together, leaving behind the devastated battlefield.
Not long after, several armed helicopters arrived here.
College community.
When Su Ming and Xu Qianqian returned here again in an off-road vehicle, all the lights here had been turned off.
The return of Su Ming and Xu Qianqian did not attract anyone's attention. It was not known whether Xu Qianqian had made arrangements in advance or something else, but the two of them returned to the community peacefully.
Before they parted, Su Ming asked Xu Qianqian a question.
"Are you going to report everything that happened tonight to the higher-ups in Base City?"
Su Ming asked this question to Xu Qianqian, who was taking off her black clothes and mask with her back to him.
Investigating intelligence related to the suspicious group was originally a task entrusted by some of the top leaders in the base city. In this case, Xu Qianqian should have reported the whole incident to their superiors.
Otherwise, what happened in Warehouse Street tonight might lead to an investigation from the Base City.
Taking this into consideration, Xu Qianqian should also report it.
As expected , "This is a serious matter. Someone in the Base City's upper echelons is looking for the Nightmare Seed bloodline. It won't work if we don't report it." Xu Qianqian looked at Su Ming while tidying up her clothes and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affairs."
"I'm not worried about that." Su Ming didn't care about this.
The terms of the contract are there, so even if Xu Qianqian wanted to reveal it out of desperation, she couldn't do it.
What Su Ming was worried about was not his own exposure, but the cub.
"Are you sure that if you report this to the higher-ups, they won't plot against the cub?"
This is what Su Ming was worried about.
He doesn't think that the senior officials in Base City are all upright heroes.
Rather, it is true that in the high-level circle that brings together the bigwigs from various major forces, there are probably many ambitious people.
Only a few people are not tempted by a priceless treasure like the Nightmare Bloodline, which can bring long-term and huge benefits to the family and even oneself.
Su Ming didn't want to let the cub go after all his hard work, only to have an internal conflict and fight over it break out within the base city.
What he needs now is a relatively stable environment where he can develop peacefully. Su Ming naturally does not want to encounter the kind of turmoil that would sweep across the entire base city.
Not to mention, Su Ming also vaguely realized that there were other calculations and other strange things behind this matter.
For various reasons, Su Ming had to pay a little attention to the development of this matter.
In response to this, Xu Qianqian seemed to have noticed Su Ming's thoughts, so she turned around and spoke like this.
"Even if they really intend to do something, it will be too late."
That’s what Xu Qianqian thinks.
