Since what happened that morning, the Duke's life has been in chaos.
His girlfriend just disappeared suddenly.
Junjue lost his sense of direction, as if he had lost the meaning of life, and his emotions became extremely unstable.
In just a few days, stubble began to grow on his face, and his handsome features were gradually eroded by melancholy and self-blame.
Junjue was once a confident and handsome young man, but now his eyes are filled with despair and vicissitudes.
He relentlessly searched for his girlfriend in the dilapidated city, frantically asking every passerby.
When talking to strangers, he often loses control of his emotions, revealing intense anxiety and pain in his words.
"Have you seen her before?" Junjue asked a strange old woman, his voice trembling slightly.
The photo in his hand was the only picture he and Wan'er had taken together when they were bored, and he was looking at it with a look of fascination.
A look of worry appeared on the old woman's face, and she shook her head.
"Young man, I really haven't seen her. I hope you find her soon, and don't worry too much."
The Duke lost control of his emotions and gripped the old woman's hand so tightly that he almost suffocated her.
"You must know something! I beg you! She's everything to me, I can't bear to be without her! Tell me the truth!"
The old woman looked at the Duke in horror, unsure how to answer him.
"Young man, let go, you'll hurt me."
I really don't know where she went. I hope you can calm down and think about it carefully.
Perhaps she just has some urgent business to attend to and will be back soon. You should trust her and give her some time.
Yue Ying looked at the captain not far away, tears falling to the ground and forming a chilling puddle.
She hugged her brother and choked out, "The captain really loves the vice-captain to death, otherwise how could things have turned out like this?"
She looked up at the sky and whispered a plea, "Vice Captain, where are you? Please come back soon! Otherwise, the Captain is going crazy looking for you."
"Sigh! What exactly is love? How could it turn our confident and calm captain into this state?" Yue Chi asked, looking puzzled.
They watched as the captain's voice sounded like a howl from the depths of hell, filled with endless despair and collapse.
"I've been waiting for days! I've been searching for her every day and night, but there's been no trace of her!"
She was the only person who kept me going, and now she's gone! Can you imagine how much pain I'm in? I feel like I'm about to break down!
The old woman sensed the Lord's inner pain and gently patted his hand.
"Young man, I know how upset you are, but you must calm down."
If you stay in this state of mind, you'll only drive yourself crazy.
Try to relax and think about other clues.
Perhaps some people have seen her, but they don't know she's your girlfriend.
You could try asking nearby shelters for help and organizing a search operation. That might increase your chances of finding her.
Junjue bit his lip and slowly released his grip.
A calmer perspective gradually returned to him, and he realized that the old woman was right.
He needed to calm down and not let himself sink into endless sorrow.
He needs to take action and find traces of his lost lover.
"I understand, thank you!"
"Young man, I have high hopes for you. I wish you a speedy reunion with her." With that, the old woman hurriedly left.
From that moment on, the Duke began searching for volunteers in the dilapidated city.
He organized a small team using supplies, and they searched every corner of the city every day.
He walked through every dirty and chaotic street, every dilapidated building, and every crowd, leaving no possible clue unchecked.
During the search, the Lord learned to control his emotions.
He no longer roared, nor did he frantically pull at his hair.
He understood that only by remaining calm could he have a better chance of finding a girlfriend.
However, time passed quickly, and the person who had been by the Duke's side day and night still had not returned.
Although the search was not over, he gradually accepted the fact of the loss.
He learned that some things are irreversible and cannot be retrieved.
Junjue became a silent and persistent person.
Every night, he would sit quietly on the bed, thinking about the days he spent with Wan'er, watching over her without ever leaving her side.
He couldn't let go of the pain, nor could he escape the shadow of loss, but he learned to cherish and remember her forever deep in his heart.
"No matter how much time passes, I will not give up searching for you."
Six days have passed, and while searching, Junjue has collected all the state secret grain storage warehouses he knows about into his spatial storage space.
It will be extremely hot in just one more day. He needs to take Yue Ying and Yue Chi back to the Gliding Ridge Castle in the capital, otherwise they will die of heatstroke outside.
Looking at the two dogs, then glancing back at the path they had come from, and stroking the massive head of the five black daylily-shaped dog, Junjue choked back tears and said:
"You miss her too, don't you? I miss her so much! I'm going crazy missing her."
But no matter how hard I search, I still can't find her. What should I do?
"Awoo awoo awoo~"
"Woof woof woof woof~"
Since their female owner disappeared, the two dogs and two national treasures have become less active.
Every day, she quietly gazed into the distance, and Junjue knew that her two dogs missed her too.
"Wan'er, where are you? Why can't I find any trace of you even after queuing so many people?"
I miss you so much! Life is so hard without you.
"Waaah~"
"Waaah~"
Little Black and Little White have grown taller, from seventy or eighty pounds to about one hundred pounds. They rub their furry heads against their owner's thighs, as if trying to comfort him.
Having searched for Beizhou City countless times, Junjue knew that Wan'er was definitely not here, and could only say to Yuechi and Yueying:
"Get on the daylily's back! It will be extremely hot in a day or two. I'll take you back to the Imperial Capital Gliding Ridge Refuge first."
You don't need to do anything there. Just eat well, drink well, take good care of your health, and diligently practice the self-defense and fighting techniques I teach you.
"Yes, Captain!"
Yue Chi and Yue Ying exchanged a glance, showing great interest in what their captain had said about training hard.
They need to become stronger so they can protect themselves in the future.
The Duke also had his own plans. His steward and his connections were all in the capital, and he wanted to go back and send people to each base to gather information.
He has already made thousands of copies of Wan'er's solo photos. Now that he has so many resources, he doesn't believe that with so many connections and resources, he won't have a single clue.
Holding the two national treasures on his back, he teleported to Wu Hei's back and said in a cool voice:
"Wu Hei, go straight ahead until you see the biggest highway in the world, then go straight from there."
"Awoo~"
"Woof woof~"
Two level-four mutated dogs led the way, and any mutated animals below level four avoided them.
