Chapter 68: Polar Night? The City That Never Sleeps



According to Qi Siyun's recollection, not long after Qin Xunfeng arrived in the Tiger Zone, he broke the situation in which the Tiger Zone had been inferior to the Wolf Zone for many days, and greatly strengthened its combat power.

After that fighting match, the Wolf District was dissatisfied with the loss of their top spot, and collectively besieged Qin Xunfeng. As a result, not only were they completely wiped out, but their bodies were also piled up as trophies at the junction of the Tiger District and the Wolf District.

What was even more terrifying was that those who had the good fortune to witness this one-on-many battle had no idea what had happened. In just a few minutes, more than 20 people in the Wolf Zone were all blown to death.

The entire stadium was really a river of blood.

Qin Xunfeng seemed to be standing still without moving, killing people invisibly.

To this day, Qin Xunfeng's combat effectiveness remains a mystery.

Everyone in the City That Never Sleeps knows that he is strong, but no one knows what skills he possesses.

Qi Mi took a deep breath when he heard this.

She thought her fighting ability was pretty good, and she should be at an average level in a one-on-one fight, but there are always people better than you. If what Qi Siyun said was true, then Qin Xunfeng should be that "outsider".

However, no matter how powerful the rumors were, they were just rumors. In order to get a pass, she felt that she should go and see it in person.

So the next day, she distributed the challenge letter to the tiger area in her personal name.

At noon on the dot, fireworks lit up in the sky above the arena, urging her to go to the arena to keep her appointment.

Qi Mi changed into more casual and comfortable sportswear. The modified waist knife had become even more formidable, and the lengthened chain allowed for a longer reach. Pressing the hidden button, the chain instantly ripped open, revealing thorns. The barbs dug into his skin, leaving him vulnerable to death.

As soon as she left the hotel, Lang Yu followed her out.

"I'll go with you."

Lang Yu stepped forward, not giving Qi Mi a chance to rebut.

However, after taking a few steps, he saw a festive and lively red sedan swaying from the street ahead.

The sedan chair was embroidered with large auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and as it passed through this rather old-fashioned street, it created an atmosphere of Chinese horror.

"Oh, I didn't expect that I could actually get it."

Qi Mi chuckled and walked forward. She had just hastily sent them back yesterday, but she didn't expect that they could get the bridal sedan in just one night. It seemed that this vanguard officer really liked her.

Lang Yu had just missed the farce when he arrived, and was still confused about the current situation. Seeing Qi Mi's mocking smile, he guessed roughly: "Is he here for you?"

"Ah, the vanguard officer said he wanted to marry me?"

"Him?" Lang Yu's face darkened and he snorted coldly, "He's not worthy of it."

The team moved at a leisurely pace, with Xing Tiejun and Hou Shu following on both sides of the sedan chair like guards.

The red cheongsam that Hou Shu held last time was indeed replaced with a phoenix crown and bridal robe. The golden crown seemed very heavy. As he walked, his hands lowered and then quickly raised them up.

Looking closer, the crown is inlaid with pearls and gemstones, making it look very expensive. Although the wedding dress is still red in color, it is trimmed with gold thread, which makes it more elegant and luxurious.

"Are you satisfied now? Our vanguard officer had someone rush-make this for you overnight. Hurry and put it on and follow us."

Xing Tiejun gave Hou Shu a look, and he immediately understood what he meant and walked up to Qi Mi.

He still kept his head down, like a child who had done something wrong and didn't dare to look Qi Mi in the eye.

Qi Mi reached out and touched the texture, pulling the corner of his mouth: "Not bad, but the style is too old, I'll go back and change it..."

Now she was fully focused on the challenge that was about to begin and didn't want to waste time with them here.

Just as she was about to walk around Hou Shu, he suddenly grabbed her hand.

Because the force on one side suddenly disappeared, the center of gravity of the neatly decorated phoenix coronet and bridal bridal gown became unstable and rolled heavily to the ground in an instant.

The jewels were scattered, the wedding dresses were covered with dust, and the place was in disrepair.

"Sister Qi Mi, if you don't like it, just reject it directly. Don't consider my..."

Hou Shu's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he slowly raised his head. "Honestly, if you slapped me right now, I wouldn't feel this bad. You're my sister, and I personally handed you the wedding dress that bastard prepared, twice. I'm... I'm a fucking bastard!"

Hou Shu raised his hand and slapped himself.

"No, what are you doing?" Qi Mi immediately grabbed him, frowning even deeper. "I know you have no other choice, and I don't blame you. What are you doing?!"

"It's okay, Sister Qi Mi, I just figured out a problem..." Hou Shu's smile was uglier than crying, and he pulled his hand away. "I suddenly seem to know what I should do. Youyou must have hoped that I would do this for a long time."

"What are you doing? Hey, little monkey! Come back!"

Hou Shu left without looking back, and did not stop no matter how Qi Mi called him.

At this time, Xing Tiejun finally figured out the problem. Hou Shu had stopped him in Carnival City and prevented him from arguing with this woman. It turned out that these two people knew each other!

He knew that he could not beat Qi Mi and could not fight him head-on. He looked around and saw that no one noticed him, so he ran back calmly, wanting to tell the vanguard officer about this.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the four sedan chair bearers in the tiger area looked at each other and wanted to escape.

However, just as the five of them turned around, Lang Yu got ahead of them and blocked their way:

"Where do you want to go?"

[Vanguard Officer: Take this phoenix coronet and bridal robe. You must bring my bride back to me today. Do you understand?]

[Vanguard Officer: Otherwise, this wedding dress would have been worn by Youyou.]

[Vanguard Officer: You were lucky. The city lord urgently summoned us back that night. Otherwise, Youyou would have been mine long ago.]

[Vanguard Officer: While my attention is still on that woman named Qi Mi, you'd better get this done for me.]

[Vanguard Officer: Otherwise, I wouldn't mind broadcasting it live for you...]

Beast! Beast! Scum!

Hou Shu clenched his back teeth and glared ahead with his red eyes.

Ever since he met Qiao Ye and Yu Shan, he has been thinking about one question——

Does he really want to destroy other girls just to protect Youyou?

What's more, this girl is now a fan of Qi.

He and Qi Mi had fought side by side for two years in the apocalypse, and he had long regarded her as an elder and sister in his heart. If he really did what the vanguard officer said this time and exchanged Qi Mi for Youyou's safety, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Although he believed that Qi Mi should be able to deal with the Vanguard Officer with his abilities...but what if?

Qi Mi is a girl, what if... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Twice, he pushed the wedding dress prepared by that beast in front of Qi Mi both times. If it were someone else, I believe that with Qi Mi's temper, he would have drawn his sword and killed everyone long ago. She was only finding excuses to delay time again and again because she was worried about him.

Hou Shu stopped and looked up at the building in front of him: "I'm sorry, Youyou, I made you wait too long..."

He finally understood that enduring humiliation only resulted in worsening of the situation. The vanguard officer never wanted to let Youyou go, but was only using Youyou to force him to do something temporarily.

When the vanguard officer feels that he is useless, Youyou will definitely be doomed.

Just like today, if Qi Mi didn't get into the bridal sedan, Youyou would be in danger.

So even if he died today, he had to find a way to send Youyou out of the city.

Ding! The elevator goes up to the eighteenth floor.

The door opened, revealing an empty office.

The black leather chairs were placed lifelessly behind the table.

The vanguard officer is not here.

"Aren't you going to pick up your bride? Do you have something to talk to the vanguard officer about?" The secretary poked his head out of the office.

Hou Shu subconsciously hid the knife behind his back and twitched his lips: "I have something to ask the Vanguard Officer. Where is he?"

"He was called away by the city lord and just left."

"oh."

Hou Shu’s mind moved, this is a great opportunity!

Not wanting to waste time, Hou Shu turned and went downstairs. He remembered that Youyou was imprisoned on the first floor of the building. Now that the vanguard officer and his men were away, it was a good time to rescue him.

Walking through the corridor, you can see two guards standing solemnly at the door.

Hou Shu took off his glasses as he walked. The moment his eyes met those of the two guards, his [Mind Recognition] skill was activated, and he completely grasped the confusion of the two people's consciousness.

The guard was manipulated by him to open the door of the room.

The room was bare, the only furniture a simple, old, worn bed. A short-haired girl, covered in a grayish army-green quilt, curled up in bed. When she heard the door open, she shuddered and huddled herself against the wall, trying to shrink as small as possible.

There was a layer of dust under his feet, and when Hou Shu walked in, he left shallow footprints.

He opened his mouth and tried to call her name, but as the words reached his lips, his throat suddenly hurt so much that he swallowed them back.

Hou Shu suppressed his emotions, took a deep breath, adjusted himself for a moment, and called out softly, "Youyou, it's me..."

Youyou on the bed trembled, reacted for a few seconds, and then sobbed softly.

She buried her head in the quilt and let out a low sob. I wonder if she had been crying like this day and night for the past month.

Every suppressed cry pierced Hou Shu's heart, as if an invisible thorn was piercing him fiercely.

Hou Shu held her in his arms: "I'm sorry, Youyou, I came too late, I'm sorry."

Youyou had lost a lot of weight, and her bones felt hard to the touch. A month ago, Hou Shu was still teasing her about losing weight, but now she was so thin that she looked like a skeleton.

"The vanguard officer is not here right now, so I'll take you away."

Hou Shu suppressed his joy of reunion and was about to take her away, but found that her legs seemed to be unable to move.

His pupils shrank: "What's wrong with your legs?"

Before Youyou could say anything, the door opened with a bang.

The voice arrived before the person arrived. After a cold and heartless voice drifted over, the vanguard officer stopped at the door and sneered, "I've treated her legs. She can't walk. Unless she is willing to raise my offspring, maybe I can help her stand up again."

Youyou glared at him fiercely: "Then I'd rather never be able to stand up again in my entire life!"

"Good, you have guts. Looks like there's nothing more to talk about then." The vanguard officer touched the silver ring on his finger. Suddenly, hundreds of cold weapons surrounded him, their gleaming swords pointed at Hou Shu, exuding a strong sense of oppression. "Either close the door and leave, or die. You choose one."

Hou Shu took off his glasses, and two beams of white light emitted from his eyes moved like dragons. However, before they rushed into the vanguard officer's eyes, they were blocked by a flying shield.

"It seems that you have chosen the second path... You haven't brought my bride here for several times, so there's no point in keeping you. Killing you in front of Youyou will also stop her from thinking about it." The vanguard officer waved his hand impatiently, and hundreds of cold weapons flew out in an instant.

Hou Shu knew he couldn't escape, so he turned around and covered Youyou's eyes, exposing his back.

"I'm sorry Youyou, I'll marry you in the next life."
