"You're still angry!"
Jiang Yuan put his hand on Liu Zhaodi's shoulder, but Liu Zhaodi simply followed Jiang Yuan without changing her expression.
"Do you think I'm being too cold-hearted?" Jiang Yuan felt it necessary to explain when he saw that Liu Zhaodi, who was usually lively and active, was unusually silent.
"Isn't that right? You never consider other people's feelings!" Liu Zhaodi said angrily.
“This is war. Even if I’m not here, he still has to walk out alive!” Jiang Yuan’s eyes were as calm and still as a deep pool.
"What would happen if you helped him?" Liu Zhaodi still argued.
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I can help him, but what if I do? He'll think that getting hurt is a small matter, and that I, as his 'nanny,' will not only help them deal with monsters when ninth-tier spirit beasts appear, but also treat them when they are injured, so that they have no worries!"
"But you must understand, this is a battlefield, where people die! I've said before that we're isolated and helpless here. They got hurt on their own, so they should be prepared to bear the consequences!"
“But you brought them in!” Liu Zhaodi pouted.
"Then why did I bring you in? Am I supposed to take responsibility for you too?" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.
"Yes!" Liu Zhaodi nodded, her face serious. "You also have to take responsibility for me!"
"Are you trying to morally blackmail me?" Jiang Yuan's eyelids twitched. It was quite something that the other party could answer so confidently after he made a joke.
"If I get injured, will you abandon me too?" Liu Zhaodi asked, her voice trembling.
"Yes, it's not the first time!" Jiang Yuan said expressionlessly.
"Hmph, I'm not chasing you anymore! Consider my sincerity wasted on you!"
Liu Zhaodi seemed to have made a huge decision, and turned to leave.
Jiang Yuan made no attempt to stop her. It was good that Liu Zhaodi was gone; she was quite annoying anyway, and now that she was gone, he could finally have some peace and quiet.
"Why are so many ninth-tier auras approaching!"
As Jiang Yuan watched Liu Zhaodi getting further and further away, a strong sense of unease welled up inside him.
"Liu Zhaodi, come back quickly!" He chose to trust his intuition, but Liu Zhaodi remained unmoved and determined to leave.
Finally, when he sensed the first energy fluctuation, he unfurled his Divine Wings and used Wind Walk, rushing towards Liu Zhaodi in a single stride.
"Don't move if you don't want to die!"
Jiang Yuan, with his wings broken, moved forward, shielding Liu Zhaodi in his arms. Then, using his divine power to disguise himself to the extreme, the two of them fell to the ground and rolled into a pile of ruins.
"Jiang Yuan, don't do anything rash!" Liu Zhaodi was terrified.
"Shut up!" Jiang Yuan stared at Liu Zhaodi with murderous intent.
Liu Zhaodi was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation. Although intimidated by Jiang Yuan's threats, she still weakly said, "Forced love is never sweet, but if you really insist, can we go home..."
"Okay, I won't say anything more!"
Liu Zhaodi, who had originally wanted to continue speaking, was finally frightened by Jiang Yuan's gaze.
"Wan Jin!"
When a young man in ancient costume appeared in his sight, Jiang Yuan was only surprised.
Who is Wan Jin? Isn't he the Holy Spirit Clan who came with Bu Yao back then?
Besides Wan Jin, there were at least seven or eight men in black robes behind him.
“They are aliens!” Liu Zhaodi whispered in Jiang Yuan’s arms.
Jiang Yuan remained silent. This group's target was very likely him, but how did Wan Jin and the others know that he would be here?
“My lord, that human woman’s aura disappeared right after that!” One of the men in black robes knelt respectfully before Wan Jin.
“The other party has the ability to fly, so it’s normal for their aura to disappear!” Wan Jin had been tracking them all along, but their aura kept coming and going, so he didn’t need to guess where they went.
Hearing their conversation, Jiang Yuan made some guesses. The other person mentioned a human woman, which was very likely the one looking for Liu Zhaodi. Although he didn't know why, it didn't stop him from teasing her.
“Woman, these people are looking for you! How about I push you out and exchange you for some Holy Spirit Stones? I’ve heard that the Holy Spirit Clan is very generous. Remember that Holy Maiden who spent a fortune last time? Maybe if I offer you up, they’ll just give me a million or eight million Holy Spirit Stones!” Jiang Yuan teased Liu Zhaodi, who was hiding in the wings of light.
"You dare!" Liu Zhaodi gritted her teeth in exasperation. She had no doubt about Jiang Yuan's words. Judging from his 'cold-bloodedness' just now, this guy had no human feelings at all.
"People die for money, birds die for food, so don't blame me!" Jiang Yuan smiled brightly.
"I'll bite you to death!" Liu Zhaodi had already been forced into Jiang Yuan's arms, and this bite went straight to soft flesh.
"Are you a dog? You'd bite anyone!"
Jiang Yuan gripped Liu Zhaodi by the back of the neck, only letting go when he felt the woman loosen her grip.
"My lord, why don't we just wipe out the South City? Why go through all this trouble to find that human woman?"
Wan Jin sneered and said, "That woman is the person in charge of the auction house and the only one who knows the masked man's identity. Since the Holy Maiden and I were intercepted at her auction house, she is undoubtedly guilty no matter what! As for marching troops into Nancheng, with her power, she might just abandon the city and flee, and she won't fall into my hands."
"Besides, that masked man stole the inheritance that should have been mine, and I must make him hand it over willingly!"
Upon hearing the conversation outside, Liu Zhaodi's expression changed. She said smugly, "You rascal, you said you were coming to find me, but you're definitely here to find out who you are! They probably want to catch me and find out who you are!"
"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan asked, his eyes darting around.
“I’m going to expose you! Maybe people will reward me with some Holy Spirit Stones because I’m pretty!” Liu Zhaodi threatened in the same way.
