After Ying Fan's sarcastic remarks, everyone in the carriage fell silent.
They still looked at us with hostility, but no one spoke as disparagingly as they had before.
Some people would even turn their heads away to avoid Ying Fan's sharp gaze.
He looked as if he was afraid of being targeted by Ying Fan and getting into trouble.
They are the most elite mental ability users of this generation. It would be so embarrassing if they were punished before they even reached the battlefield.
And needless to say, Xingluo.com will notify and announce it immediately.
If the reason for the disturbance is released, it will become a major social disaster.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ying Fan could only sit back down next to Xu Nian, feeling bored.
As soon as he sat down, Xu Nian leaned over him, her fair and jade-like hands wrapping around his arm.
Xu Nian leaned lazily on Ying Fan's shoulder and smiled, "Ying Fan, thank you!"
I have to say, it feels really good to have someone stand up for you anytime, anywhere.
You don't have to compromise yourself when something happens; he'll solve it for you without you even having to lift a finger.
This feeling of being able to rely on someone without worry can really be addictive.
"Niannian, a verbal thank you is so insincere." Although Yingfan said this, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
"I'm all yours, how else do you want me to thank you?" Xu Nian rolled her eyes in annoyance.
He needs to clear his head of all that nonsense; all he talks about are those same old things.
Can't he think of anything else besides these?
“That’s different.” Ying Fan shook his head. She was someone he had obtained through hardship, and he wanted her to be willing just once.
"What's different?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.
She thought and thought, but she still couldn't understand what was different. Weren't the process and the result the same?
Xu Nian's confusion made Ying Fan chuckle. He squeezed her hand and softened his tone, saying, "There are too many people around now, so it's not convenient to say some things."
"Then don't say it, and don't say it again." Xu Nian retreated warily.
She sensed his ill intentions.
“No way. Remember this first, I’ll get it back from you myself later.” Ying Fan’s lips curled up slightly as he leaned back in his chair, enjoying Xu Nian’s conflicted expression.
Xu Nian opened her mouth several times during the conversation, but as soon as she met Ying Fan's ambiguous smile, she forgot what she was going to say.
She couldn't bring herself to say those embarrassing things in public.
She can't be like him, so unrestrained that he dares to say anything.
Ultimately, her thinking couldn't keep up with the pace of the world.
"Alright, stop worrying about it. If you don't want to, then forget it. If you keep looking so gloomy, your face will turn into a bitter gourd." Ying Fan couldn't bear to put Xu Nian in a difficult position.
She was struggling with her own dilemma, and he felt bad just watching her.
It's his fault; he knew she was easily teased, yet he still deliberately teased her.
"You said it yourself." Xu Nian felt a sense of relief, as if she had escaped a disaster.
“Okay, I said it.” Ying Fan smiled indulgently at Xu Nian.
I regretfully withdrew my idea, which hadn't fully taken shape in my mind yet.
He had already thought about what clothes to dress her in, but unfortunately she was too wary, so it seems he'll have to wait until next time.
The train sped along the tracks, carrying everyone toward an unknown destiny.
Xu Nian gazed at the mountains and buildings flashing past the car window, then gradually closed her eyes, not even realizing when she had fallen asleep.
Ying Fan withdrew his hand from Xu Nian's head, sat up straight, and looked out the car window with a serious expression.
Within his field of vision, he could already see the burning flames of war and the mental power users fighting against the invading creatures.
Despite having seen it countless times on Xingluo.com, I was still shocked to witness it in person.
At this moment, Yingfan began to doubt himself.
Can he really protect Nian Nian and keep her alive on the battlefield?
Even on the train, he could see the invasive creatures covering the mountains, which were neither fish nor birds.
It has a fish-like head, bird-like wings, predatory claws, and a beetle-like body.
Yingfan saw that this spliced monster-like invasive creature could run, jump, and fly at low altitudes.
They marched in droves, relentlessly attacking the border bases established by the Star Luo Kingdom.
Many people with psychic abilities are fighting against these invading creatures.
Fortunately, although there are many invasive creatures, they are weak individually and relatively easy to kill.
Even so, Ying Fan still saw a few mental ability users fall down, then be swarmed by the invading creatures and perish there.
Fortunately, Xu Nian is asleep now. If she had seen such a bloody and cruel scene, she would have been devastated.
Yingfan's self-blame surged again; he shouldn't have brought her here rashly because of his selfishness.
Regret is useless; what needs to be faced must be faced.
Ying Fan lowered his eyes and touched the face of the person in his arms, gazing at her oblivious expression. He murmured absentmindedly, "Niannian, will you blame me?"
"No." Xu Nian sighed and looked up to meet Ying Fan's stunned eyes.
"Why are you so surprised? Do you think I'm still the same person I was back then, someone you can easily hypnotize with your mental power?"
"I pretended to be asleep just now to see what you were planning to do! I didn't expect you didn't want me to see some things!" Xu Nian exclaimed in surprise, then turned to look out the car window.
She only saw a tiny trace through the slit of her eye; she didn't see it very clearly.
Even though the train was some distance from the border, the unobstructed view still allowed for a clear view of the battle.
At first glance, the ugly invasive creature gave Xu Nian goosebumps.
The sight of those border guards brought tears to her eyes.
"Yingfan, what kind of monsters are these invasive creatures?" Xu Nian turned to look at the person next to her with distress.
His network of connections is different from hers; he should know more than she does.
“We call these invasive creatures fish-birds. Nobody knows where these monsters came from. All we know is that when they first appeared, their numbers were few, but humans killed them so many that their numbers have multiplied. Now they are threatening the borders of the Star Luo Kingdom.” Ying Fan’s gaze was heavy, his eyes filled with worry.
"Does the Star Luo Kingdom really have no way to deal with this invasive species?" Xu Nian found it unbelievable.
In her world, there are no resilient invasive creatures; they simply eat whatever appears.
If it becomes an infestation, it only means that the species doesn't taste good.
"No, we've been researching fish and bird carcasses, but dead fish and birds are just ordinary animal carcasses, completely useless, only good for fertilizer." To help Xu Nian better understand this species, Ying Fan even sent her information from his Star Network.
Xu Nian stared at the documents for a long time without saying a word.
From the emergence of the fish-bird to the present, the Star Luo Kingdom has studied it for nearly two hundred years, and the evaluation of this brand-new species has always been the same: garbage fertilizer with no utilization value, not worth studying.
