Chapter 35
Fang Ai Ai wiped her face and said, "...I said everyone in your company is very brave, and you are the representative of your company's bravery!"
Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, of course he is brave.
Fang Ai Ai twitched her lips, deciding to skip the topic. She swallowed and asked, "Boss Su, are you... performing an autopsy?"
Su Xuan's hands were fiddling with the leech's back, which made the group of little girls frightened.
Su Xuan lowered his head and concentrated on fiddling with it, saying, "I'm looking for his spirit core."
After the leech died, Su Xuan felt that the power of the black walls around him had indeed weakened a lot, but not to the extent he had imagined. He suspected that the leech had kept a trick up his sleeve before coming to find him.
It wasn't until Su Xuan found the spirit core in the leech's chest cavity and pulled out its entire bloody arm that he saw—
Amid the exclamations of the girls around him, Su Xuan narrowed his eyes.
The leech's spiritual core was only half broken.
"Tsk." Su Xuan frowned unhappily.
Fang Ai Ai also noticed something was wrong and asked, "Why does this thing look like it's only half a piece?"
"He probably created a clone," Su Xuan said gravely as he dismounted from the leech's corpse. "He split himself in two before coming to find me."
No wonder this leech died so quickly. What misunderstanding did he have about his own strength? Did he think he could swallow Su Xuan with only half of his strength?
And because of this, he solved the leech in front of him, and the power of the black wall was still as strong as that of a first-generation monster.
"What should we do then?" Fang Ai Ai's face changed.
"I'll try to chisel the wall first, and then just wait," Su Xuan looked at one of the black walls, his eyes seemed to see through it and see the place behind it, "wait until someone takes care of the remaining half of him, or takes care of Qiongqi."
Fang Ai Ai asked cautiously, "Are you talking about... Wen Yu and Brother Bi Fang? Can they handle it?"
"Although the leech gave away half of its soul core, its physical body is here with us and I've already killed it. The remaining half of the soul core needs to be reshaped into a physical body, but the maturity of the temporarily reshaped physical body is limited. If Wenyu or Bifang encounter it, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with it, but..."
If they encounter Qiongqi, it will be a bit difficult.
When the incident happened, Su Xuan saw Bifang also rushing onto the stage. He wondered if the two of them were now assigned to the same space. If so, it would not be a problem for the two of them to work together to deal with a Qiongqi.
But what if Qiongqi didn't go looking for them first, but went to eat humans first...
Thinking of Gu Shuo, Su Xuan gritted his teeth secretly.
——He must release his spiritual power.
This black wall isolates the breath exchange between him and Wen Yu and the others, but it should be able to transmit the spiritual power to Qiongqi and the leech. He needs to release enough spiritual power to lure Qiongqi over.
Come on, come and eat him if you can!
At the same time, Su Xuan walked to the black wall and prepared to start chiseling it.
Maybe he could just poke it right through.
*
At this moment, on the other side of the black wall.
In the corner, there was a black worm-like thing wriggling secretly.
It has four soft and thin gecko-like claws, which are clinging to the wall, as if eavesdropping on the movements on the other side.
I trembled as I listened.
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
He originally thought that there would be no problem, so he planned to attack from both sides. However, he did not expect that the main body and the half spirit core would be shattered so easily.
Now, he only has this half of his spirit core left in his body, but the body formed by this half of the spirit core is so weak. How much effort will he have to put in to grow back to the strong and majestic shape of his original body?!
At this moment, no matter how tempting the spiritual power released by the young man on the other side of the wall was, the leech wanted to tear him to pieces.
...But no matter what he thought, the leech now knew that even if he used his intact spirit core to fight the young man, he would probably be in great danger. So after feeling angry in his heart, he resigned himself to his fate and turned around to climb to the other side of the wall.
He couldn't just die like this.
He had to eat quickly, eat food with powerful spiritual power - just eating humans would not help him recover his body in a short time. He had no other choice but to eat monsters.
He couldn't afford to offend that brutal young man, but weren't there three second-generation monsters on the other side?
Of course, at this moment, he has become cautious.
He couldn't just rush into the presence of those three second-generation monsters. His strength was so weakened now, and a hasty attack would only result in him being shattered once again. He had to think of a way...
Hearing the crying sound coming from the other side of the wall, the black insect's eyes rolled.
The sound seemed to be coming from the wall.
There was a man leaning against the wall.
The leech immediately drilled into the wall, and when it came out from the other side of the wall, it also drilled into the body of the person who was crying.
*
Wen Yu was looking around at the black wall surrounding them. After looking for a long time, she raised her leg and kicked it in annoyance!
The heels of the high heels hit the wall, making a dull "bang" sound.
"No," she turned back and said to Bifang, "If we don't get rid of the two monsters, we can't destroy these walls."
Bifang frowned and said, "The power of the black wall seems to have weakened a lot."
Wen Yu judged: "I think one of them must have gone to Su Xuan first, but he dealt with it."
But the problem is that the power of the black wall has not been weakened by half.
At least three-quarters of the power still exists.
What is going on?
Wen Yu and Bi Fang were both a little confused for the time being.
Could it be that the power disparity between the two first-generation monsters was so great that the remaining monster was exceptionally powerful? So powerful that it took over three-quarters of the black wall's power?
If that's the case, where is that monster now?
Once it appeared in front of them, even if they had three second-generation monsters, they might not be able to deal with it.
That’s right, Wen Yu and Bi Fang have realized that besides them and Su Xuan, there is also a monster and even an old friend here.
Looking at Mu Wei and Yan Yue in the corner, Wen Yu frowned and asked, "What's going on with you? What kind of monster is she? Why is she constantly releasing spiritual power?"
Mu Wei was pale and sweating, while Yan Yue stayed by her side, continuously observing her condition.
...I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Yan Yue was a little troubled. He said, "She is a monster. She is currently in a period of violent temper, which is unique to this type of monster. Her spiritual power is easily out of control. That's why she has entrusted the Monster Bureau with this. I...I am personally carrying out her mission."
No matter what, let’s not drag Boss Gu into this for now.
After all, the matter between him and Su Xuan has not been sorted out yet, so Yan Yue doesn't want to reveal it without authorization.
Wen Yu was stunned when he heard this.
kind?
Her eyes widened. "If I remember correctly, the species is hermaphroditic, right?"
As he spoke, Mu Wei's hair began to shorten and his bones seemed to be growing larger.
She groaned and tightly grasped Yan Yue's hand, as if she was trying to control her body but was on the verge of collapse.
Trapped on the stage with them were the trainees from the same group as Wen Yu who didn't have time to escape. No one had expected that such a situation would occur halfway through the competition. It had been more than ten minutes since the accident, and they had calmed down from their panic, but they were still frightened when they saw this scene.
Xu Moli was stunned and said, "...Teacher Mu Wei is also... a monster?"
The other girls covered their mouths and looked at them in disbelief.
"How could this be? Wen Yu is a monster, and Teacher Mu Wei is also..."
Yan Yue didn't have the energy to care about other people at the moment. Seeing that Mu Wei was in a very bad condition, he asked Wen Yu and Bi Fang for help: "Can you help her transfer some spiritual power?"
Theoretically, with Gu Shuo's spiritual power transfer before going on stage, Mu Wei should not have had another attack so soon. However, perhaps because of the sudden accident, Mu Wei's nerves were tense and his physical condition collapsed.
Hearing Yan Yue's words, Bifang wanted to walk over, but at this moment, his wrist was grabbed.
——When he rushed onto the stage just now, he didn't think much about it. Regardless of Fu Huanyu's astonishment, he rushed directly in front of him and pulled him behind him.
From the time the black wall fell until now, he and Wen Yu have been trying to calm the girls down, but Bifang didn't know how to face Fu Huanyu behind him.
It was only when his wrist was restrained that he paused.
During this pause, Wen Yu took the lead and walked towards Mu Wei and said, "Let me give it a try."
…and Bifang remained motionless, only hearing the man's deep voice behind him: "Bifang?"
Bifang trembled.
"I've always thought of your name as just an ordinary one," the man said slowly. "There's a monster called Bifang, right? I remember the legend saying it represents fire."
The first time they met was during a fire.
Fu Huanyu exerted force and forced Bifang to turn around.
The tall man was looking down at him.
Bifang was a little at a loss. He seemed to be back to the time when they first met, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Monsters, just like humans, have different personalities.
Some monsters, like Qi Hanyu, Xia Yan, and Wen Yu, are generous and cheerful, and are very good at getting along with humans. Therefore, they have been studying in human schools since childhood and have some human friends around them.
But there are also some monsters, like Bifang and Zong Ning - admittedly, Bifang is not as unsociable as Zong Ning, but it is a fact that he does not know how to get along with humans.
Humans are fragile.
Humans are also prone to fearing those who are different from them.
This is actually not difficult to understand.
But if they really develop feelings for each other, in the end they will be feared and stay away from each other because of their identity as monsters...
Even someone as slow-witted as Bifang would be a little sad.
So when Fu Huanyu approached him at first, he thought about refusing.
However, he was too clumsy to even refuse.
Fu Huanyu is such a wonderful person.
He is gentle, tolerant and graceful.
When Bifang is in front of others, he is always used to taking care of them.
But when in front of Fu Huanyu, he is often the one who is taken care of and pampered.
This was an experience Bifang had never had before. He accepted and digested it helplessly, being tightly wrapped in Fu Huanyu's tenderness.
Gradually, gradually, he had to admit that his heart was loosening. It was not so much that he was greedy for this feeling, but rather that he was greedy for Fu Huanyu.
However, he still welcomed this day with such complicated feelings——
——Bifang stood in front of the man, his throat feeling dry.
Fu Huanyu looked at him and asked, "Are you the monster Bifang?"
"...Yes," Bifang lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you."
After he finished speaking, he didn't hear Fu Huanyu's next words for a long time.
Bifang subconsciously curled up his fingers, and his chest felt a little tight.
The loss and sadness welling up in his chest at this moment... seemed to be even stronger than he had ever imagined.
At the beginning, Bifang was just surrendering and thinking that if he could really make friends, it might not be a bad idea.
Fu Huanyu is so gentle. If his identity as a monster is exposed one day and they really can't be friends... they shouldn't tear each other apart and make things particularly ugly.
The most we can do is never contact each other again... Although it's a pity, it should be enough for him to cherish the fact that he has had such an experience.
But it was not until this moment that Bifang realized that something was wrong, not right at all.
His feelings for Fu Huanyu seemed to have deteriorated without him realizing it.
...But now that I suddenly realize this, what can I do?
Not to mention that kind of emotion, there are very few humans who are truly willing to be friends with monsters.
No matter what, Bifang is not the kind of person who would force others to do things for his own sake.
So facing Fu Huanyu's silence, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Fighting back the soreness in his chest and preparing himself mentally, Bifang raised his head and said as naturally as he could, "Don't worry, Wenyu and I are here. No matter what happens, we won't let you get hurt."
Fu Huanyu just looked at him and asked, "Can you handle those two monsters?"
Bifang was speechless for a moment, then said, "...it might be difficult, but if it really comes to that...there will be a way."
If all else fails, self-destruction can release 100% of the spiritual power to form a protective shield, which should be able to protect these people until the Monster Bureau arrives.
However, Bifang would certainly not tell Fu Huanyu about this method. There was no need.
He was about to change the subject when Fu Huanyu seemed to have noticed something. He stared at him and asked word by word, "What's the solution?"
Bifang was stunned.
Fu Huanyu took a step closer to him, his face completely gloomy: "Die together?"
Bifang was a little stunned.
Fu Huanyu said slowly, "Wen Yu called those two monsters 'first-generation monsters.' First-generation monsters are more powerful than you, right? If those two monsters really appeared here, your so-called 'solution' would be to die together?"
Bifang was silent again, which was considered as his agreement.
A storm suddenly appeared in Fu Huanyu's eyes.
"Bifang," Fu Huanyu's voice was filled with anger. "I tried every possible way to get close to you, to please you, to get you used to my presence, to get you used to interacting with me, not to make you sacrifice your life to protect me or others at the critical moment."
Bifang opened his eyes wide and his heart beat fast.
He seemed to realize something, but he didn't fully grasp it. He just opened his mouth and said blankly: "...Huan Yu?"
Fu Huanyu has always been a polite and elegant gentleman. In front of Bifang, he always behaves in a measured and gentle manner.
But at this moment, this man seemed to have finally taken off his disguise, revealing his other side.
All the shining sunlight disappeared from his body. He was like stepping into darkness, with a layer of shadow covering his body. The hand that was tightly holding Bifang seemed to want to pull Bifang into the shadow and sink with him.
Bifang had never seen this side of Fu Huanyu before.
Bifang was a little stunned, and at the same time, he felt a strong sense of palpitations in his heart.
Fu Huanyu stared at him, suppressing his emotions and asking, "If those two first-generation monsters appear, why must you be sacrificed?"
Bifang murmured subconsciously: "...If sacrificing me can allow everyone to survive, I am willing to do so."
"Yes, you are that kind of person." Fu Huanyu's voice became even deeper, and a sinister look flashed across his eyes. "Then what should I do? From the beginning to the end, I only wanted you."
In one sentence, Bifang's brain went blank.
He stared at Fu Huanyu blankly, with confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't know whether the words he just heard were what he understood.
However, in Fu Huanyu's dark eyes that reflected his shadow... Bifang slowly found the feeling of being alive.
He was surprised, delighted, and a little bit surprised.
Ah, this man, doesn't he mean to leave him?
My heart, which had been falling so fast just now, has now returned to its original level.
It even got warmer and hotter.
Bifang raised his head and looked at Fu Huanyu, his heart surging: "I... I thought you would run away after you knew I was a monster."
Fu Huanyu was still a little angry. After hearing Bifang's words, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you think you can scare me away with just this?"
Bifang said hoarsely: "Because you didn't say anything just now, I thought..."
Having said that, Bifang lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed about his reaction just now.
Fu Huanyu was stunned.
After realizing what Bifang had been thinking, he was a little surprised and then fell silent.
A moment of silence.
Fu Huanyu restrained his breath. He looked at Bifang who lowered his head. When he spoke again, his voice had become gentle again.
"How could I be afraid of you? I was just recalling the scene when we first met."
Bifang's chin was lifted up.
Fu Huanyu stared at him intently and said softly, "I remember the fire that day, and you who rushed in front of me."
Fu Huanyu always felt that everything that happened that night was a little bit incredible. He even recalled that night several times, thinking about how Bifang rushed in from the flames and how he led him out of the flames.
However, the reason has never been found.
It was not until now that he understood why he felt so out of place.
Because this young man is not a human being, he is a monster.
——A monster that is not afraid of fire and can even control it.
That's why that night, amidst the raging flames, she appeared before him like a god.
Hearing Fu Huanyu say this, Bifang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had misunderstood Fu Huanyu's silence just now.
But when talking about the fire, Bifang pursed his lips and became a little depressed again: "...Do you think I'm not that powerful now?"
He always thought that Fu Huanyu approached him because his behavior that night was "bold" and "brave" in the eyes of humans, so Fu Huanyu was impressed and grateful.
But for Bifang, fire is just something in his palm.
That rescue was not some touching life-threatening rescue, it was just Bifang doing his best within the scope of his ability.
That's why Bifang felt embarrassed about Fu Huanyu's closeness at the beginning.
He was not that great, and Fu Huanyu's gratitude to him even made him feel like a fraud.
But in response to his question, Fu Huanyu asked: "Why don't you think so?"
Bifang trembled, raised her eyes, and looked at him eagerly, finally shedding her usual mature appearance and revealing a little-known cuteness.
Fu Huanyu said slowly, "You are still very powerful in my heart. It's just that before, when I thought of that fire, I would still feel scared by your bold actions. But after knowing that you are the monster in charge of fire, I am only grateful that the fire allowed me to meet you."
"thump"--
My heart is beating hard.
Bifang's ears turned red.
Today, the man seemed to speak particularly bluntly.
Bifang had just been shocked, lost, and sad about discovering her feelings, but at this moment she felt excited, nervous, and embarrassed because of this man.
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask for clarification: "Huan Yu, what did you mean by what you just said—"
"It means I like you." Fu Huanyu said.
For a moment, Bifang felt as if fireworks were falling in his heart.
His heart tightened and heat surged throughout his body.
The body is numb, the mind is numb.
But he could still feel in his heart a sweetness that he had experienced for the first time in his life.
Before Bifang could recover from this sudden confession, Fu Huanyu asked again, "What about you?"
Fu Huanyu gently rubbed Bifang's cheek with his finger and whispered, "You may have already felt that the real me is not as gentlemanly as I usually appear to you. I do have an annoying side, but I usually hide it."
The real him is paranoid, sinister, very possessive, and a little selfish.
Fu Huanyu is not a good person.
However, he tried to take Bifang, who was gentle and kind-hearted, for himself.
In response to his question, Bifang took a step closer and put her arms around him.
Fu Huanyu didn't expect Bifang to be so bold, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Bifang's ears turned red, she sank into his arms, and whispered, "I like them all."
Fu Huanyu's Adam's apple rolled.
Suddenly, my heart seemed to be pinched hard.
He laughed, lowered his head, hugged Bifang, and sighed with satisfaction: "That's good."
Perhaps it was because he finally didn't have to pretend to be a gentleman anymore, Bifang could clearly feel how tightly the man was hugging him, and how strong the possessiveness that revealed was.
Bifang just felt his heart was burning.
He was not afraid of Fu Huanyu, who had a dark side, because at this moment, he could clearly feel the man's sincerity.
He was even happy that Fu Huanyu took off his disguise in front of him and revealed his true self.
…
The two expressed their feelings to each other and hugged each other intimately.
Wen Yu interrupted at the right moment, "Well, we don't have to die together. We can always think of other ways. After all, we have three second-generation monsters here, and a comrade from the Monster Bureau."
Bifang froze, and quickly broke free from Fu Huanyu's arms, coughing lightly with a red face.
Fu Huanyu paused and glanced at Wen Yu calmly.
Wen Yu: "Don't look at me like that, Mr. Movie King, think about how many opportunities I have created for you and Bifang!!"
Fu Huanyu thought about it and put on his gentle smile again.
Wen Yu: “…………”
Only now do I feel that this smile is so fake, so fake!
Wen Yu wiped his face, stopped inputting spiritual power into Mu Wei, shook his head and stood up and said: "No, I can't suppress her spiritual power."
In front of her, Mu Wei was already pale.
Yan Yue was not surprised by this result.
After all, before Gu Shuo appeared, every time Mu Wei fell into a rage, it took the combined efforts of the two most powerful wizards in their Monster Bureau to calm him down.
I will ask Wenyu and Bifang for help, just because I want to give it a try no matter what.
Yan Yue looked at Mu Wei.
Her whole body was tense, but her eyes were dull and she stared blankly at the ground.
Cold sweat soaked her clothes, and the veins on her neck and the backs of her hands were slightly bulging.
Yan Yue suddenly said, "Otherwise, don't endure it."
Mu Wei froze.
Yan Yue said, "No matter how much you don't want to be exposed, the trainees here already know your identity as a monster. What difference will it make if you transform in front of them? After the transformation, your spiritual power will be easier to stabilize, and Wen Yu and the others will be able to help you."
Mu Wei gritted his teeth and said, "...but I don't want to transform in front of them."
Yan Yue frowned, puzzled, "They've even seen the demonic forms of Qiongqi and leeches, so why would they be afraid of you, a woman who transforms into a man?"
Perhaps his patience had reached its limit, and Mu Wei snapped. He suddenly raised his head and said, "You've seen so many monsters, but you still had that same expression when you saw me transform for the first time!"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Yue was stunned.
There was silence between him and Mulvey.
Wen Yu was a little confused. He didn't expect that everything was fine just now, but suddenly these two people rushed towards him.
The atmosphere suddenly changed and became a little awkward. She didn't know whether she should try to persuade him.
Mu Wei turned his head away in embarrassment.
Yan Yue was silent for a moment, then asked, "You knew I would show that expression if you transformed in front of me, and yet you kept asking that person to take on your missions?"
Once Gu Shuo goes on a mission, it means Yan Yue will definitely follow.
When his hidden thoughts were exposed, Mu Wei suddenly became even more stiff.
She couldn't believe that Yan Yue actually knew it, and she couldn't believe that Yan Yue said it out loud. In an instant, panic and anger surged into her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
As soon as he spoke, his voice was choked: "You——"
Yan Yue suddenly took a step forward and hugged her tightly, isolating her from the gazes of the trainees not far away.
Mu Wei was shocked.
She heard Yan Yue say, "Okay, let's not let them see your transformation, okay?"
The man whispered, "...When I made that expression, it wasn't because I thought you were a monster. I just didn't know how to get along with you. Should I treat you as a man or a woman?"
Mu Wei opened his eyes wide.
"But I've figured it out. Some problems have no solution no matter how hard you think about them, but you are you," Yan Yue sighed softly, stroked Mu Wei's head, and said softly, "From now on, I will block those gazes for you. You don't have to worry about anything in front of me."
Mu Wei's tears fell.
She couldn't believe she would hear Yan Yue say this.
"Transform, don't hold it back."
Yan Yue kissed her forehead gently.
