"Why did you hold back at the last moment? I was hoping you would shoot it dead with one arrow!"
After adjusting the warship's cruise, Gu Anlei walked back to Jiang Yuan's side and asked him curiously.
"Haven't you seen the black markings all over my body? Even you would doubt my identity, let alone others!" Jiang Yuan had no reservations about the demonic markings. This was just a way to protect himself when he was weak. Once he became powerful, no one would care about what was on his body.
“I’ve never doubted you. Ever since you stopped the Holy Spirit Clan in Death Valley, I’ve known your character,” Gu Anlei said confidently.
"Oh, what kind of person am I?" Jiang Yuan looked at Gu Anlei with interest.
Without even thinking, Gu Anlei replied, "Of course it's good!"
"They're giving me a 'friend card'!" Jiang Yuan said thoughtfully.
"Haha!" Gu Anlei laughed without regard for her image, and after laughing for a while, she said seriously, "However, I think everyone has a demon living in their heart, it just depends on what you want to release it for! Just like you, you released the demon in your heart for me and Zhou Chengyun in the beginning, so even if everyone in the world doubts you, Zhou Chengyun and I cannot doubt you!"
"Because you did this to protect me..."
"You stinky Jiang Yuan, you're flirting with someone again..."
Before Gu Anlei could finish speaking, a beeping sound accompanied by a woman's voice suddenly rang out. Jiang Yuan's expression changed upon hearing this, and he immediately covered the school badge in his pocket.
"Huh, what's that woman's voice?" Gu Anlei had obviously heard it.
"Um, you misheard me. I need to pee, I need to go to the toilet!"
Jiang Yuan clutched his pocket and quickly walked away. He hadn't expected that Liu Zhaodi would connect to his signal as soon as the warship took off. It was true that the signal was several times stronger when you were standing high up!
Left behind, Gu Anlei was completely baffled. She thought to herself, "The voice sounds like Liu Zhaodi from the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce. Is Jiang Yuan that close to her? And he carries her recording and listens to it all the time?"
Thinking that Jiang Yuan might be trying to catch a big fish, Gu Anlei could only sigh and say quietly, "Even top sea kings are so disciplined and dedicated these days. How are those men who have no looks, no money, and no strength supposed to live?"
After muttering a few complaints to herself, Gu Anlei quietly walked into the tea room and began to drink tea.
"Jiang Yuan, where did you go? Why is there no signal? Don't you know I told you to stay on the outermost layer? Did you run off to the Human Alliance again?!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan took out his school badge, he heard Liu Zhaodi's rapid-fire words, which were tinged with anger.
"Honey, is there any need to be so angry?" Jiang Yuan said awkwardly as he took off his mask and answered the video call.
"Aren't you angry yet? Do you know what I just heard when I connected to the array core? That woman actually said you were protecting her?" Liu Zhaodi said with three parts anger and seven parts grievance.
"You misheard. There was a 'men' at the end. You suddenly spoke up before he could finish speaking," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"Are you sure?" Liu Zhaodi looked at Jiang Yuan with distrust. No one knew how much she cared about Jiang Yuan; only she, who had lost him once, understood that feeling.
Jiang Yuan explained with a wry smile, "You're overthinking it. Gu Anlei and I are just comrades who have been through thick and thin together. Our defense zone once carried out a blocking mission. All the special operations teams that carried out the mission were killed. I risked my life to save Gu Anlei and another soldier. So she has always been very grateful to me, and I also consider her a good friend. It's not as complicated as you think!"
Seeing Jiang Yuan's genuine emotions, Liu Zhaodi's anger subsided immediately. Her voice softened as she apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know there was such a thing between you two!"
"Why apologize? Our Queen isn't acting like this!" Jiang Yuan didn't want to make the atmosphere so sad. Both of them had experienced the most brutal battles, and this would only remind them of their painful past.
Sure enough, Liu Zhaodi's downcast expression improved considerably, and she said with a lack of confidence, "But even if I misunderstood you, what were you doing? Didn't I tell you to keep in touch?"
Jiang Yuan's eyes darted around, and he immediately explained, "The area outside Han City is shrouded in the Holy Spirit Clan's array, and the Beast King's domain has been strengthening these past few days, so it's normal to have no signal!"
"Really?" Liu Zhaodi was still somewhat skeptical.
"Wait here, I'll show you the surroundings and you'll know where I am!"
Jiang Yuan quickly opened the cabin window and showed Liu Zhaodi the surrounding environment through the protective shield. Only after seeing that he was indeed high in the sky did Liu Zhaodi retract her pouting lips.
"Alright, you don't need to show me anymore, I believe you!" Liu Zhaodi finally let Jiang Yuan off the hook.
"Zhaodi, what brings you here today?" Jiang Yuan knew that Liu Zhaodi was no longer the Liu Zhaodi who used to cling to him all the time. She wouldn't bother him at such an important moment unless it was something very important.
"Can't I contact you for no reason?!"
Liu Zhaodi said angrily, and after a while, she said, "Breaking news: a mysterious team of beastmen has entered Hancheng this time, but we don't know the specifics yet!"
"Oh, this? I've already taken care of it!" Jiang Yuan replied instinctively.
"Jiang Yuan!" Liu Zhaodi's voice suddenly rose several decibels as she glared at him fiercely, saying, "You still say you weren't involved in this!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless this time! The Beast King Plan is inevitable. Even if the beastmen in Hancheng fail, the beastmen outside can join forces with the surviving Beast Kings in Hancheng to revive Zhu Yan's corpse using the Six Paths Beast King Tokens. So don't take any risks!" Liu Zhaodi revealed a very crucial piece of information.
