Now that he has taken the elixir, his strength has improved even further, so he naturally has no fear of such petty villains.

However, the next moment, his body, which had soared into the sky, flew back at an even faster speed, blood gushing from his mouth.

"Who is it?"

He stared in horror at the body beneath the wide hood.

Besides General Tianji and Sword Master Suyi, who else on this celestial ship possesses such abilities?

The head of the Lan family tried to stop him, but in an instant, he was seriously injured by a sword.

Lan Hua roared and tried to attack again, but the next moment, his limbs were severed, and a small hand gripped his neck, making his face turn red.

"You have...something I need..."

Lan Hua felt his life force draining away. He tried to struggle, but having lost his limbs, he had no ability to resist.

Only then did he get a clear look at the handsome face beneath the wide hood.

"Yue...y..."

His face was filled with horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

Before he could finish speaking, his veins bulged, and the next moment, he lost his breath.

The body slowly fell, falling to its final, broken pieces, its life force completely extinguished, leaving it like a dried-up corpse.

Using people to refine elixirs ultimately results in others reaping the benefits; any gift inadvertently comes with a price tag.

Only after Yue Yu's figure disappeared did the others rush over upon hearing the news. All they could see was the severely injured and dying head of the Lan family, and the corpse of Lan Hua.

The moonlight was cold and clear, and the streets were deserted.

"Moon? What is that?"

Yueyu continued walking, her expression puzzled, as if she had thought of something but couldn't quite recall it.

Then, she sensed another presence and slowly walked towards it.

If she can't remember, she can simply not think about it. If she gets enough essence blood, she'll remember sooner or later.

Tonight will be a sleepless night for the families of these immortal ships.

On the street, Wei Yi did not go home. She took out the fox mask from the fireworks and gently stroked its smooth lacquered surface.

"Fireworks, are you there?"

no respond.

"My dear Hanabi, come out and see me. I have something to ask of you, please."

Wei Yi spoke again.

"Oh dear, it hasn't been that long, and you're already thinking about me like this? I'm so shy!"

The next moment, Hanabi's sweet voice rang out behind Wei Yi, and then he felt a soft, delicate body wrap around his neck from behind.

A fragrant breeze wafted by, and Hanabi's soft cheek rubbed against Wei Yi's cheek, a picture of intimacy.

"Hmm? You seem a little unhappy, darling, but it's okay. You'll cheer up once you see Hanabi. Smile, okay? Such a handsome face, it would be a shame if you didn't smile at me. I went through so much trouble to turn you from that boring, cold-faced man into who you are now. Promise Hanabi you won't turn back, okay~"

Seeing Wei Yi's somewhat gloomy expression, Hanabi jumped down from behind Wei Yi with a whoosh, then walked to the front of Wei Yi and looked at him with a smile.

"Um, I'm sorry, Hanabi, I really don't feel like laughing."

Looking at the well-behaved and adorable Hanabi in front of him, Wei Yi's lips twitched, but he didn't laugh.

"That's no fun. How about this, darling, if you just smile, I'll help you, okay? Whatever your request, this gentle and kind little firefly will do it~"

Hanabi gently stroked her smooth, rounded shoulder with her small hand and said provocatively.

Seeing this, Wei Yi forced an awkward smile.

"Hmm, not sincere at all, but oh well, what can I do when Little Fireworks is so understanding~ So, darling, what do you want to do?"

"Fireworks, do you know about the fact that my former comrades are being hunted down?" Wei Yi said.

"Hmm..." Hanabi touched her chin with her fingers and thought for a moment before slowly saying, "I only found out when I came to Youqing. After all, you know, I only care about you. I don't care about your subordinates."

She tilted her head and told the truth.

The truth might be that Hanabi knew Wei Yi would be upset if he found out, so she deliberately kept quiet. Of course, no one can guess what Hanabi is thinking. Perhaps she just wanted to wait for Wei Yi to hear the news from someone else and see her make this face.

"I understand."

Wei Yi nodded, not questioning why the other party knew but didn't tell him, but continued, "Do me a favor, Huahuo, help me investigate something. Where are my former companions now? They've gone into hiding. Although it's a bit late, I still think I should save as many as I can."

"And then what? Start another war?"

Fireworks asked.

“I don’t know, but if that’s what they want, I’ll play along.”

"Don't worry, darling, Hanabi will help you with this. After all, I care about my friends the most! Seeing you like this breaks my heart!"

Hua Huo smiled sweetly, her hands behind her back, leaning slightly forward as she looked at Wei Yi.

"However, darling, there are some things you need to discover for yourself. They are some very interesting things. Actually, you are different now than you were before. You are no longer fighting alone."

As she spoke, Hanabi grinned mischievously. She suddenly stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Wei Yi's neck, and lightly kissed her cheek. "How's that? Feeling better with such a cute girl like me comforting you? Helping you was quite a hassle, so I'll collect some interest this time. When I've accumulated all your favors and ask you to repay them, you can't refuse, okay?"

With her index finger gently pressed against her lips, Hanabi smiled and disappeared from the spot.

Wei Yi, on the other hand, returned home under the cover of night.

Feixiao noticed that Wei Yi had gone out that night, but she didn't ask anything. She didn't ask, and Wei Yi didn't say anything either. The next morning, Feixiao and Xiaoguang sat at the dining table, biting into their steaks, when Feixiao frowned.

The steak was a little burnt... This had never happened to Wei Yi before.

However, she didn't say anything, but ate it with a smile.

As for Xiao Guang, she didn't care whether the meat was burnt or not; to her, having a bite of meat to eat was already a blessing.

"I'm full, honey. The food you made was delicious!"

Fei Xiao placed the soup on the table and smiled as he looked at Wei Yi.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted today, and the steak is a bit burnt."

Wei Yi was aware of his mistake and said apologetically.

"Why are you apologizing?"

Fei Xiao paused, looking at Wei Yi.

"I didn't cook the meal properly, shouldn't I apologize?"

Wei Yi said.

"Xiao Guang, do you think your Uncle Wei Yi should apologize?"

Fei Xiao patted Xiao Guang's head and asked.

"Uncle Wei Yi cooked for Xiao Guang. It was very hard work, and Uncle Wei Yi's cooking was delicious! I want to thank Uncle Wei Yi."

Xiao Guang said expressionlessly, but there was still a smile on his lips.

"See? You worked hard to cook this meal, it just had a few mistakes. Would I get angry and blame you for those things?"

Fei Xiao said, then walked up to Wei Yi, cupped Wei Yi's cheeks, and looked directly at Wei Yi: "You've been the one who's been putting in so much effort, and the steak is a little burnt, but it's not like it's inedible. If I were to blame you for such a random incident, wouldn't I be ungrateful? I would be ignoring the breakfasts you've always prepared so carefully, and I can't blame you just because of one mistake."

Fei Xiao shook his head: "Why should I apologize? I should be the one apologizing. I'm sorry, darling, it's my fault for not noticing sooner that you were upset."

Fei Xiao said, looking at Wei Yi gently, "Tell me what's wrong. We're family, aren't we?"

"We're all family! Xiaoguang is family too!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Guang walked up to Wei Yi and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Looking at the concerned Fei Xiao and the adorable Xiao Guang in front of him, Wei Yi's originally low mood improved a lot.

Family is always the best medicine to heal wounds.

"Wife, I have a question for you." Wei Yi said, and Fei Xiao responded with a soft hum, indicating that she was listening attentively.

"If one day I become a burden to my family, to you, and to everyone around me because of my own actions, what should I do?"

Wei Yi looked at Fei Xiao with confusion in his eyes.

"What kind of burden are you talking about?" Fei Xiao tilted his head, puzzled, after hearing Wei Yi's words.

"Because of me, everyone around me will die, including you. Will you hate me for this?"

It has to be said that Wei Yi was afraid, and the reason for his fear was Fei Xiao. After learning about Potio's situation, he had been afraid that his wife would die and everyone he knew would die because of him after his identity was exposed.

This fear did not dissipate over time; instead, it grew deeper and stronger.

This is not just empty talk, because it is very likely to happen. Once his identity is exposed, the malice of the universe will follow one after another, not only the Immortal Ship, but also the Antimatter Legion, and even other major forces.

"Hate you? Darling, why would you think that?"

Seeing this, Fei Xiao gently placed Wei Yi's head in his arms and said tenderly, "Why would I hate you? I know you. If someone wants to harm us, the fault lies not with you, but with the other party. Why wouldn't I choose to hate them instead of hating you? Is it because you're easy to bully? Besides, darling, you seem to have forgotten something. I'm very strong! Strong enough to protect myself and you. Whoever dares to set their sights on us, I will kill them without hesitation!"

"Don't worry, that won't happen. I just saw a similar story and was being a bit dramatic. Breakfast was a bit of a mistake today, but I'll definitely make a better meal for you tonight to make up for it!"

Wei Yi smiled, feeling much better: "However, let's just live our lives honestly. With your skinny arms and legs, it's better if you don't get into fights."

"I'm really strong! I can destroy a planet with one punch!"

Seeing Wei Yi's expression, Fei Xiao puffed out his cheeks and then stretched out his arms to show off his muscles.

Feixiao has worked out; her arms aren't particularly slender, but they're not as exaggerated as those of people who work out.

"Alright, do you think you're some kind of Sky Strike General, capable of smashing planets with a single punch? We don't do dangerous things like that. I'll buy a watermelon this afternoon, and you'll be in charge of killing it. Let's see if you can smash it with one punch."

Wei Yi smiled and said that after being comforted by Hua Huo last night and enlightened by Fei Xiao today, Wei Yi's mood had calmed down.

He's always been a very adaptable person; he just overthought things after hearing the news yesterday.

"It's alright, it's good that you're feeling better. Besides, compared to the world, you're more important to me! No matter what, I'll support you."

Seeing that Wei Yi had returned to his usual self, Fei Xiao nodded in satisfaction. After putting on his coat, he glanced at the time and realized it was already late. He quickly dressed, and before leaving, he playfully wrapped his arms around Wei Yi's neck and gave him a light kiss on the lips before departing from home.

Yesterday, some old guys were attacked and I heard they suffered heavy losses. Fei Xiao knew about this and that those old guys were anxiously waiting for her to start a meeting at Weiyang Palace. But so what? Compared to those old guys, her husband's mood was obviously the most important.

Even compared to the world, Wei Yi is more important. No, Wei Yi is Fei Xiao's world!

As for why Wei Yi's mood suddenly changed after going out yesterday, Fei Xiao didn't know. Although she was very curious, since her husband didn't say, it meant he didn't want to talk about it, and Fei Xiao wouldn't press him for details. Everyone has their own secrets, even between husband and wife.
