"What do we do now? Everyone in the camp knows about the effects of the Demonic Bloodstone, and now no one is selling it to us!" Liu Zhaodi sighed, resting her delicate chin on her hand.
Jiang Yuan had a deep worry in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, as long as they don't kill anyone, not much demon god blood can be condensed!"
The camp did not possess many Demonic Bloodstones, and due to Li Tiegen's restraint, the people in the camp dared not act rashly.
"Are we still going to that Heaven and Earth Gathering?" Liu Zhaodi reached out and shook Jiang Yuan's little finger.
“That place has long been controlled by the Crimson Blood Army, so going there will be of no use!” Jiang Yuan shook his head and said.
"So where do we go next?" Liu Zhaodi squatted on the ground, idly fiddling with Jiang Yuan's fingers.
Jiang Yuan's expression shifted slightly, and he said, "Northern City Alliance!"
...
"Jiang Yuan, what brings you here!"
Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi encountered Suma as soon as they arrived in the territory of the Northern City Alliance, and Suma's enthusiasm surprised Jiang Yuan.
"Suma, long time no see!" Jiang Yuan returned the greeting with a smile.
"Oh, you've changed girlfriends again!" Suma pointed at Liu Zhaodi in a lewd manner.
"Don't talk nonsense! This is the second young lady of the Liu family. We're business partners!" Jiang Yuan immediately explained, knowing he'd be in big trouble if Ning Yanlan heard him.
Suma gave him a knowing look and said cheekily, "That's right, dashing men are the kind who can flit from flower to flower without getting attached!"
"Hey, how can you talk like that? You're corrupting my... my Liu family's business partner!" Liu Zhaodi couldn't hold back any longer. How could she tolerate Jiang Yuan being led astray right in front of her?
"What do you mean by 'leading the wrong way'? We should trust Major Jiang's composure. Otherwise, how could our peerless and stunningly beautiful Major An have suffered a setback at Major Jiang's hands?" Su Ma knew a little about Jiang Yuan and Yu Tu's affair.
"Shut up!" Jiang Yuan was almost about to step forward and cover Suma's mouth.
Upon hearing this, Suma sighed, his expression turning melancholy: "What a pity, Yutu is so heartbroken that he's going to District D. He even stood at the city gate for hours this morning, longingly waiting! But he still hasn't seen the figure he wants to see!"
"She's gone?" Jiang Yuan felt a mix of emotions. In fact, he could see the girl's inner vulnerability from his interactions with Yu Tu. She had truly let him into her heart.
Suma glanced at the sky and said, "It should be about time!"
"Stone sense!"
Jiang Yuan activated his reserved abilities, then ran off in one direction without a word, telling Liu Zhaodi before he left, "Wait for me for a few minutes!"
"Hey, Jiang Yuan, take me with you!" Liu Zhaodi exclaimed anxiously. Her woman's intuition told her that Jiang Yuan was most likely going to pay off a debt of love.
Seeing this, Su Ma immediately pulled Liu Zhaodi back and said, "Let's wait for him. Even the most dashing man doesn't want to leave with regrets!"
"You, you, you... shut up! Jiang Yuan isn't that kind of person!" Liu Zhaodi was furious; this guy was still making sarcastic remarks.
"You're getting anxious! You don't like him too, do you?!"
"I……"
Suma truly lives up to his reputation as the most talkative man in the Chinese zodiac; with just one sentence, he made Liu Zhaodi jump up and down in frustration.
On the other side, Jiang Yuan arrived at the airport where he had left in a fighter jet last time.
However, when he saw that blurry yet familiar figure, he stopped in his tracks. He realized he didn't have the courage to say goodbye to Yu Tu. Knowing Yu Tu's temper, he would at least get a slap if he went up to her. He was truly terrified of being beaten.
"Forget it, let's go!" Jiang Yuan rubbed his face and turned to leave.
"Jiang Yuan!"
As she turned, Yu Tu's trembling voice came with the wind, but the wind was too strong, and the fleeting name was like a needle falling into water, barely causing a ripple.
"You came and went, what are you afraid of?" Yu Tu's voice was no longer low and hoarse, as if all the suppressed emotions were released at this moment.
"call!"
Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth and walked straight toward Yu Tu.
"Why is Jiang Yuan here?" Tianlong asked, standing to the side.
Yu Tu smiled and said, "Captain, could you go up and familiarize yourself with the piloting procedures first?"
"I understand, it's about avoiding suspicion!"
Tianlong smiled knowingly, then silently boarded the fighter jet.
The two met without any awkwardness, simply exchanging gentle glances.
Yu Tu parted her lips slightly and said softly, "I thought you wouldn't come!"
"Just passing by, and..." Jiang Yuan said, nodding as he added, "I thought I'd drop by to see you all!"
"You haven't changed at all; you can't even tell a decent lie!" Yu Tu smiled sweetly.
"I heard it's very dangerous over there, and it borders the sacred mountain. You must take good care of yourself!" Jiang Yuan said after a long pause.
Yu Tu nodded with a half-smile, then said, "Is that all you have to say?"
Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Have a safe trip!"
"Since you've come to see me off, shouldn't I get a hug?" Yu Tu winked playfully.
Seeing Jiang Yuan hesitate, Yu Tu pretended to be generous and said, "Really? We've had plenty of physical contact already, and you're having trouble with a hug!"
"Hugs are fine, but don't hit me!" Jiang Yuan said with a wry smile.
Yu Tu nodded slightly, and then the two embraced as friends.
"Since you won't tell me, then I'll do it!" Yu Tu whispered in Jiang Yuan's ear, "I know I've been impulsive lately, so I've chosen to go to District D to calm down for a few years. I need to know if my feelings were just a momentary impulse or if I'm stuck in a quagmire!"
"If I return alive from Zone D three years from now, could we give each other a chance?"
In short, Yu Tu's arms tightened their grip even more.
"If your answer is still no, then shut up and preserve your last bit of self-respect!"
After Yu Tu finished speaking, she pressed her face against Jiang Yuan's face. Several minutes later, she let go of him in disappointment. Her eyes, which had gradually dimmed, glanced at Jiang Yuan, and finally she decisively turned around and walked towards the fighter jet.
Jiang Yuan was conflicted. He watched An Xiaoyu leave step by step, but Ning Yanlan's voice and appearance kept flashing through his mind.
"Jiang Yuan is just a girl I have a crush on; there's no need for me to make any promises!"
"That's all? You've driven them to the point of questioning their existence and sending them to District D. That's a road where life and death are uncertain, and you can't even give them a promise. Don't you have any manly spirit?"
"Making a promise is what harms others; don't let a promise bind you!"
"Perhaps it is because of this promise that you can become her motivation to live in District D!"
Jiang Yuan was caught in a fierce internal struggle. When he saw An Xiaoyu already parked in front of the fighter jet, he closed his eyes with a sigh of relief and said, "I'll wait for you to come back safely!"
This one sentence already shows his attitude.
When Jiang Yuan said those words, it was clear that An Xiaoyu, who had been tense, relaxed considerably.
An Xiaoyu didn't turn around, but thinking of Jiang Yuan's 'misdeeds', she still threatened, "If you don't keep your promise in three years! You, you, you just wait and see!"
Jiang Yuan chuckled helplessly, then watched the fighter jets depart.
