As dawn broke, the sky began to lighten with a pale, fish-belly white.
Helicopters landed at Liyue Manor, where a large number of Shadowblade mercenaries dressed in black combat uniforms stood in neat rows, silent.
In the understated yet luxurious hall, Chu Liyue sat on the sofa with her arms crossed and her long legs elegantly crossed.
On the opposite side, Chu Yuntian, Chu Mingcheng, Bai Jingxuan, and Chu Nanfeng were all present.
"Liyue, Old Black Mountain is no ordinary place. Be careful in everything you do. If things go wrong, find a way to evacuate. Survival is the most important thing."
"Liyue, you and Wujie must be careful. If anything happens, let Chu Nanfeng handle it. Don't get hurt."
"What are you looking at? I'm talking to you. Protect your two younger siblings. If they suffer even the slightest grievance, I'll break your legs."
Chu Yuntian and Bai Jingxuan looked worried, completely ignoring Chu Nanfeng's dark expression beside them, and spoke one after the other.
Upon receiving the distress signal from the manor, they had long wanted to come and check, but Chu Liyue blocked them away, citing that she and Xiao Wujie were both safe and sound.
Having learned from Chu Nanfeng that they were going to the eerie Old Black Mountain, a place from which there was no way out, she resented her for not saying anything, but she couldn't suppress her worry and came along with Chu Nanfeng.
Chu Mingcheng maintained his cold and dignified demeanor, but the slight fluctuation in his gaze as he looked at Chu Liyue betrayed the worry in his heart.
His eyes flickered slightly, but he still spoke in a deep voice:
"Just focus on doing your job. Your grandfather and I will stay here with you and wait for your return!"
To say that Chu Liyue felt absolutely no emotion would be a lie.
The consequences would have been far worse if Chu Nanfeng hadn't arrived in time on the night Vito Rosso launched his surprise attack.
Yunmo's life, the forgetting reagent, and many research results will likely all be lost.
Even when she was searching for Vito Rosso's whereabouts and venturing deep into the Black Mountain to rescue people, she never thought of asking them for help.
Even so, they still provided a lot of help without hesitation, saving her a lot of effort.
Even someone as aloof and independent as her has to admit that having a group of selfless people standing behind her gives her more... peace of mind and a sense of belonging!
However, she was not one to readily express her emotions; she simply lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.
A moment of silence fell over the room.
After glancing at the time, Chu Liyue got up and left, leaving the others looking completely bewildered.
Chu Yuntian and Bai Jingxuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the same question in each other's eyes: What's going on here?
Chu Nanfeng crossed his arms, glanced at Chu Liyue's retreating figure as she quickly walked upstairs, and said softly:
"He's gone to coax our Chu family's precious son-in-law."
...
When Chu Liyue returned to the room, Xiao Wujie was already awake. Seeing Chu Liyue walking quickly to the bedside, his hazy eyes lit up instantly.
However, his long eyelashes gently lowered, concealing the emotions in his eyes.
He nestled into Chu Liyue's arms, buried his face in her chest, and gently kissed her. His voice, still hoarse from just waking up, had a soft, alluring quality, low and captivating.
"Sister, you're not spending time with me again..."
"It hurts that I can't see my sister when I open my eyes."
Pulling the blanket tighter around his body, Chu Liyue's fingers slipped inside, caressing his back and lower back as she softly coaxed him:
"Sister was wrong, sister went to tidy up for baby, it won't happen again..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the pampered little ancestor in his arms.
“My sister’s mistakes are worthless. She always says I’m wrong, but she still ignores me next time.”
Xiao Wujie lifted his head from her embrace, his eyes lowered, his voice soft and low.
"Then, baby, what can I do to make you calm down, sister?"
Holding his thin, slightly cold body, Chu Liyue patiently coaxed him affectionately.
As she coaxed him like this, a helpless smile flickered across her eyes.
She usually hates being bothered by others, but when facing Xiao Wujie, she doesn't know what kind of person she is.
She knew he was just deliberately making trouble for her, but she enjoyed it nonetheless, willingly letting him pester her without any reason and coaxing him without any limits.
She admitted that she seemed to have a bit of a double standard.
But she increasingly had this feeling—
It is a blessing to be relied upon by the person you love with all your heart.
"Spoiling me..."
A hint of dazedness flashed in his eyes. Xiao Wujie reached out and wrapped his arms around her neck, tilting his long, slender neck back, his incredibly sexy Adam's apple bobbing.
A sudden shiver ran through her heart, and Chu Liyue abruptly lowered her head, her luscious red lips gently capturing his bobbing Adam's apple.
The tip of the tongue gently probes out, followed by a deep breath and a light kiss.
"Uh... um..."
With his neck tilted back, Xiao Wujie couldn't help but reach out and cup the back of her head, his eyes filled with tears, and a soft moan escaped his lips that made one blush.
An extremely ambiguous atmosphere continued to spread throughout the room.
After a long while, Xiao Wujie leaned against Chu Liyue's chest, panting heavily, his pale face flushed.
He lightly traced his fingers across his Adam's apple and collarbone, which were covered in hickeys, a slight smile playing on his lips, and a dreamy glint in his eyes.
"Feeling better now?"
Chu Liyue's slender fingers caressed his pale lips, her voice sweet and alluring.
Feeling the person in her arms nod their head slightly, she chuckled silently.
He was satisfied, and she wanted to rummage through his mouth and tease him a little more, but he refused because he hadn't brushed his teeth or washed his face.
With his arms tightly wrapped around Chu Liyue's slender waist, Xiao Wujie pressed his body against her soft, fragrant embrace, his eyes filled with dependence and infatuation.
After calming his disordered breathing, he concealed the emotions in his eyes and gazed leisurely out the window.
Once inside Laoheishan, another thrilling battle is inevitable, making it difficult to relax and enjoy sweet intimacy with Chu Liyue like this.
But whether it's for past grievances or for future happiness, he is determined to save Lin Qingyi and cut off Vito Rosso's dog head.
A forbidden zone for life, a terrifying forest, a beautiful older sister with her obedient baby slaying monsters and killing people—it doesn't sound too bad...
As the bright sunlight bathed every corner of the manor, Chu Liyue, holding Xiao Wujie's hand, walked towards the light.
On the spacious field, a large number of elite troops stood in neat rows, their fierce aura contained, their breathing as one.
In the distance, helicopters' blades whirred, emitting bursts of noise.
Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
In front of the helicopter, Chu Yuntian, Lu Zhufeng, and Yunmo, who was still recovering from his injuries, stood tall.
After exchanging glances with each of them, Chu Liyue was about to lead Xiao Wujie onto the helicopter.
In the end, the sensitive and thoughtful Bai Jingxuan couldn't hold back any longer. She suddenly pushed through the crowd and hugged Chu Liyue and Xiao Wujie tightly, tears welling in her eyes and her voice tinged with sobs.
"Honey, please be very careful!"
After releasing them, her gaze swept over Chu Nanfeng beside them, and as he stared in slight surprise, she gently embraced him.
"You too, you all need to take good care of yourselves. Mom is waiting for you."
