Xia Yan fell silent, watching him approach. His steps were light, yet they felt like they were pounding on her heart, and finally, the girl took a step back.
"Get out of here!"
"no."
Ning Jue continued to walk, and in order to keep her distance from him, Xia Yan had to retreat again.
"Why are you backing away? Are you scared?" He took another step forward.
Xia Yan: ...How does she know why she lacks confidence!
He's just a new god-level being who doesn't even have any rules! She at least has rules to rely on, so why should she be afraid of him?
Xia Yan thought to herself, puzzled, but her body betrayed her and she retreated again.
The man chuckled softly, "Are you really afraid of me?"
Afraid of him? Xia Yan frowned, suddenly remembering that this was her domain. Why should she retreat? In her domain, it was the other party who should retreat! With this thought, Xia Yan directly issued an order to her domain prohibiting men from moving forward. As a result, Ning Jue immediately found that he was restrained by Xiao Han.
"Are you really afraid of me?"
"Who's afraid of you?" Xia Yan looked at him coldly. "Since you're not leaving, wait until Cang Yi wakes up, and we'll see how you die!"
"Then why don't you do it yourself? What if I hurt him again?"
These words struck Xia Yan's Achilles' heel. How did she know why she didn't act? She simply—simply didn't want to hurt him.
Xia Yan felt she needed to calm down, but before she could, another intruder appeared in her territory.
"Is Ning Jue alright? What about that old monster Cang Ming? Where is he?"
Two more. Xia Yan turned to look at Old Man Xing and the people around him, and for the first time began to doubt the defensive capabilities of her domain. It was about to be riddled with holes!
"Where are the Cangming people?" Perhaps seeing Xia Yan, Xing Yucheng lowered his voice a bit.
Cui Zhi gestured with her eyes, indicating that the person was in the golden light not far from Xia Yan.
Xing Yucheng glanced at Xia Yan again, and seeing that she had no intention of attacking, he took a few steps over and kicked the golden light directly.
Then—Xing Yucheng felt like he had kicked a wall, the most solid one in the world.
Xia Yan calmly said, "What protects him is my rule, a rule that even a god cannot break. Of course, if you can kill me, the rule will disappear."
Xing Yucheng: ...
Cui Zhi couldn't help but facepalm. "We thought the big boss was knocked unconscious and our chance had come, but who would have thought it would turn into a master-disciple feud, and lovers turning against each other? This is the biggest drama of the year!"
"Who killed each other? Who loved..."
Xia Yan paused, then suddenly felt her heart skip a beat—something had happened!
Xia Yan's expression changed, her gaze swept over the group, and finally she grabbed Ning Jue, the most threatening one, and they instantly changed locations.
Ning Jue was taken aback by her sudden outburst. "The Imperial Capital?"
And it was outside Jing Li's villa?
Xia Yan pulled him into the room next to Jing Li, where she saw her mother, her flesh mangled and barely alive, and—the insectoid creature named Beck, wielding a knife.
Xia Yan immediately pasted the image onto the wall, then tried to check on her mother's condition. Ning Jue was quick to react, immediately taking out a healing card and using it first.
The healing card produced by Xing Yucheng was indeed the most effective, and Xinya recovered quickly.
Xia Yan immediately turned to Baker Ivan on the wall, her voice icy, "Who told you to do this?"
"Myself."
Beck answered in the Zerg language, but Xia Yan understood it. She said coldly, "Including space travel, you did that all by yourself? Then the Human Federation would have been finished long ago?"
"That's so boring." Tsk, he messed up this one mission. That guy will probably use him as a sacrifice for the insects later.
"I'd be a fool to believe you!" Xia Yan was pondering how to interrogate this guy when a glint of malice flashed in her eyes again. Then—Xia Yan saw herself appear as Avril among the Zerg, from a young cub to adult, being targeted by this guy, and him being sent to the Federation's capital star by someone else.
Xia Yan: ……
That person—but it's no wonder she doesn't like him!
The girl's face was icy cold as she sentenced Baker to death: "Help me kill him! The kind that can't be brought back to life."
Ning Jue raised an eyebrow. Was she talking to him? He glanced around at the fighting force in the room and was about to make a move, but he was too late. A dark shadow appeared behind Xia Yan. "Yes, Master."
Xu Yao? Ning Jue was surprised. Two years ago, after Xiao Han's accident, Xu Yao disappeared along with her. So he had been following Xiao Han all along? And Xiao Han—it seemed she had known of his existence all along.
After decisively eliminating the male insectoid creature, Xu Yao reappeared behind Xia Yan and vanished, as if he had never been there.
"Stay here and take care of your mother. If anyone attacks again, contact me immediately."
"yes."
Xia Yan looked at Ning Jue, wanting to pull him back to the area they had just been in, but then she saw another scene—her first encounter with someone on the SkyNet, him coming to rescue her in his mecha but burying her alive, their confrontation with Cangming, a month of silent care, the man's confession...
"What’s wrong with you?"
Meeting his worried gaze, Xia Yan pursed her lips, her hostility towards him lessening somewhat, while also realizing she needed some peace and quiet.
Card, Baker, and Ning Jue were suddenly given three additional memories, and it was thanks to her god-level mental strength that they didn't explode.
But was it all just a deception between her and Cang Yi?
Xia Yan's downcast eyes were filled with disappointment. Why was that?
Ning Jue placed his hands on Xia Yan's shoulders. "What happened?"
Xia Yan looked up at him and shook her head. At that moment, she realized that her eyes, it turned out, had a name.
Last night.
They have the ability to see the past.
As for how it started on its own, Xia Yan followed the clues and found two strange yet familiar auras in her spiritual sea, which should be related to them.
But now was not the time to think about that. Xia Yan once again told Xu Yao to take good care of the people before pulling Ning Jue away.
In the realm of the gods, the girl immediately activated the Nightfall technique on her own, and then she saw more—the people present were all acquaintances.
Xia Yan, or rather Lian Han, squatted down, burying her hands in her knees, unsure how to face them.
Seeing her like this, Xing Yucheng guessed that the previous night had worked.
This was naturally Xing Yucheng's idea. Since it was impossible to force memories onto Lian Han's consciousness anymore, the only option was to let her see it with her own eyes again. The card system bypassed the body's owner and directly activated "Past Night," although it consumed more energy—but she had Xiao Ya. She wasn't worried about running out of energy.
Although it was an unconventional approach, the results were clearly quite good.
Old Xing bent down and rubbed her head. "Girl, shouldn't we deal with Cangming first? Otherwise, things will get complicated once he wakes up."
Vast ocean.
Lian Han patted her cheeks to cheer herself up, withdrew her protection from the other party, and then her expression changed. The withdrawn rules immediately covered the four people in the domain.
"Yan Yan is being naughty."
He's awake!
