Chapter 71 Explosion Wave
She quickly pulled open Bao Shuoyu's wound, but found there was no other injury. She then took off her handkerchief and put it away.
"He can't even afford to give a handkerchief. He's stingy," Bao Shuyu muttered.
He helped Yu Ming up, and the three of them and the cat were about to leave the factory when Xiao Hei cried out, "Oh no, let's go!"
It instantly transformed into a giant tiger, about to lead everyone out, when suddenly there was a loud bang and flames burst forth. Yu Xiaoluo, holding Bao Shuoyu with one hand and Yu Ming with the other, was enveloped by a protective shield.
But she couldn't care less about Xiao Hei anymore and rushed out with the protective shield on.
Several times the blast waves nearly broke through the protective shield, and the scorching heat scorched the shield, as if the three of them were eggs being roasted on a stove.
The explosion rang out again, and this time the shockwave propelled them far away. All three of them were thrown out at the same time, the protective shield shattered, and they were all flung out.
If it weren't for the protective shield, they would probably have been blown to death. The explosion came so suddenly that none of them, except for Xiao Hei, had any premonition. Therefore, Yu Xiaoluo only had time to use the protective shield.
Oh, right, Little Black.
Yu Xiaoluo struggled to her feet and saw Bao Shuoyu and Yu Ming lying on the other side, so she quickly went over.
She wasn't too worried about Bao Shuoyu, since he wasn't an ordinary spirit; she was worried about her second brother.
Yu Ming, also looking ashen-faced, scrambled to his feet and asked first, "Luo Luo, are you alright?"
Yu Xiaoluo was relieved to see that her second brother was alright. Her second brother seemed to have become stronger, and his temperament had also changed. Could it be related to drinking Bao Shuoyu's blood?
As for Xiao Hei, thankfully, it transformed back into its cat form and lay down next to Bao Shuoyu. However, it seemed to have suffered some injuries and looked quite pitiful.
Yu Xiaoluo picked it up and patted its head, "Are you alright?"
Little Black shook itself and looked at its old master.
Bao Shuoyu remained lying there motionless. Yu Xiaoluo panicked and quickly ran over, "Brother Shuoyu, are you alright?"
Bao Shuoyu's eyes were tightly closed. Yu Xiaolu checked his breath, but there was no breath. She panicked, "Brother Shuoyu, you can't die! How can I explain to Sister Manman if you die?"
Bao Shuoyu did not receive a satisfactory answer and continued to play dead.
However, when Yu Xiaolu accidentally touched his chest, she knew that he was just pretending to be dead.
"Hey, when a person dies, their heartbeat must stop, right? But this... it seems to have one—" Yu Xiaoluo simply started touching it randomly. The feel of it was quite nice.
"Second brother, why don't you touch it too?"
Yu Ming was puzzled and was about to reach out when Bao Shuoyu suddenly jumped up from the ground, "I'm fine, I think I just fainted from the fall."
Yu Xiaoluo patted the black cat's head again, "Thanks to Xiao Hei's reminder this time, otherwise the three of us would have been in grave danger. If this matter is resolved, Master will upgrade you to my number one demon pet."
Bao Shuoyu stared at her in astonishment. "What did you say? The number one demon pet? This black cat?"
"Yes, this is my newly acquired demon pet, but it arrived last, so it can only be the youngest."
Bao Shuoyu looked at the black cat with a complicated expression. The black cat huddled in Yu Xiaoluo's arms, not daring to meet his gaze.
Yu Xiaoluo looked at Bao Shuoyu in surprise, "What's wrong, Brother Shuoyu? Do you like it too? Xiao Hei is powerful and understanding, it's no wonder everyone loves it. Why don't you let it be your pet?"
The black cat let out a mournful whimper, then nestled even closer to Yu Xiaoluo's chest, trembling.
"Never mind, it seems a little afraid of you. Who told you to be less cute than me—Little Black—can you sense my parents' presence?"
The new owner finally changed the subject, and Xiao Hei felt like it had finally come back to life. It shook its head and said, "It's not here, Master."
It called Yu Xiaoluo "master" so naturally, as if it had been with her for years, which infuriated Bao Shuoyu. This was the first time he had been so openly betrayed—it was a cat! Not even a person!
Yu Xiaoluo looked at Yu Ming, "Second brother, what exactly happened? How were you captured by Ming Jiuyou? Where are Mom, Dad, and eldest brother?"
Yu Ming sighed softly, "I had no idea what happened. I was still sleeping when someone gagged me, covered my eyes, and took me out. My parents were probably gagged too. I didn't hear their voices, and I don't know where they went."
"When I could see again, I found myself in this factory, and then I was hung up by two masked men. Oh, and there was another man, whose voice was the same one that was talking earlier. He was quite handsome, but he looked weird and strange. He might be the Ming Jiuyou you're talking about. He said something about my sister being buried with me, and then they left. But I always felt like there was a pair of eyes watching me."
The one staring at him was the phantom left behind by Ming Jiuyou.
"Little Black, can you sense my parents?"
Xiao Hei shook his head.
"If the breath stops, I have no way to track it down."
Yu Xiaoluo stopped talking, closed her eyes, focused her mental energy, and imagined what her parents looked like.
Not being able to see their faces at this moment is very taxing on mental and spiritual energy.
She frowned, not reaching out to pull Bao Shuoyu, because only he could replenish this spiritual energy.
Without saying a word, Bao Shuoyu took her hand and continuously channeled his spiritual energy into her body.
Yu Xiaoluo's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little. Under her fair eyelids, her eyelashes fluttered, and fine beads of sweat appeared between her brows, like dewdrops on green leaves in the morning.
Yu Ming felt sorry for his younger sister and reached out his sleeve to wipe her sweat, but Bao Shuoyu stopped him, saying, "We can't disturb her at this crucial moment."
Seeing his serious expression, I quickly withdrew my attention, afraid of disturbing my sister. I thought to myself, this is probably something I really shouldn't disturb. If this happens like practicing martial arts and I go astray, then he will be in big trouble.
Just as she was thinking this, in the blink of an eye, Bao Shuoyu was gently pressing a tissue against Yu Xiaoluo's forehead, and the sweat beads soaked into the tissue, making it wet.
Yu Ming opened his mouth wide, momentarily speechless.
Bao Shuoyu made a shushing gesture, signaling him to be quiet.
He obediently shut up again, and then Bao Shuoyu took out a tissue and gently wiped Yu Xiaoluo's sweat.
Yu Ming was stunned. Was this... taking advantage of my sister?
At this moment, Yu Xiaoluo excitedly grabbed Bao Shuoyu's hand and gave him a big hug, "Second Brother, we found them, we found them! I found Mom and Dad."
Until she saw her second brother standing to the side looking at her strangely, she quickly pushed Bao Shuoyu away, her face flushed with shyness, almost burning to the roots of her ears.
