Call me trash? I can instantly kill an S-level talent with just one yuan!

She slowly raised her head and looked at that familiar face.

But now, a sense of unfamiliarity suddenly arose in her heart.

flight……

Ye Chen didn't give her time to overthink.

After escaping the encirclement of the Thousand Beasts, it quickly descended and arrived at Jiang Cha's side, several kilometers away, in just over ten seconds.

Jiang stared at Ye Chen, who was falling from the sky, her eyes wide and her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

"Keep an eye on her!"

boom!

Ye Chen left only three words, and then instantly took off from the spot.

It transformed into a golden streak of light and flew rapidly toward the encirclement.

Bai Jinhan and Jiang Cha exchanged a glance.

Neither of them spoke.

But a sense of confusion could be seen in both of their eyes.

In just three minutes.

The golden figure returned once more.

They also brought back Zhuge Yue, who was pale and had a blank look in her eyes.

It landed on the ground with a loud thud.

No instructions were left.

boom!

A crack appeared in the ground.

Ye Chen disappeared from the spot again.

The three looked at each other.

There was still no dialogue...

Three more minutes passed.

Hongwu also returned.

He was thrown down from a height of ten meters by Ye Chen.

Upon landing, he immediately looked up with a solemn expression at the golden figure.

"Ye Chen..."

Everyone looked up at the same time.

His eyes held a mixture of indescribable emotions.

Ye Chen looked down at the group from high above and spoke calmly:

"I hope everyone can forget about this last thing on our trip to the secret realm. Can you do that?"

His voice was calm, without a trace of emotion.

But it resonated deeply in everyone's hearts.

This is not a request.

It's a warning!

At this moment, Hongwu, Zhuge Yue, and even Jiang Cha all felt a sense of fear.

They were absolutely certain that if they said they disagreed, the figure in front of them would throw them back into the Thousand-Man Beast Horde without hesitation.

The sound of swallowing saliva echoed repeatedly.

"able!"

Jiang Cha was the first to express his opinion.

Zhuge Yue is the second one.

"able."

Next came Hongwu.

He lowered his head and slowly whispered, "Yes."

The three people have finished expressing their opinions.

Ye Chen then slowly descended to the ground.

Then he picked up Bai Jinhan, who hadn't said a word, and slowly floated back into the air.

"I suggest everyone set off immediately and return to the place where we landed, otherwise we might not be able to get back."

Done.

Ye Chen carried Bai Jinhan and rapidly ascended into the air, disappearing from everyone's sight.

next second.

Rumble!

The horde of thousands of beasts approached rapidly.

Hongwu immediately snapped out of his daze, "Quick, let's go!"

Jiang Cha and Zhuge Yue's expressions turned tense again, and they immediately followed.

……

"puff!"

As soon as Ye Chen landed with Bai Jinhan in his arms, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

In an instant, all the words that Bai Jinhan had been holding back vanished, and he anxiously supported the weakened Ye Chen.

"What's wrong with you?!"

Ye Chen's face was pale as he slowly shed his dragon form, revealing his original body.

A bloody hole the size of a bowl suddenly came into view.

It hit him squarely in the chest!

Ye Chen smiled bitterly.

"When I was rescuing Hongwu, I was targeted by a Thousand-Man Beast of Martial Master level, and it pricked me with its spikes."

"Is this something as simple as getting a prick?"

Bai Jinhan's tears flowed like a spring as she hugged Ye Chen with heartache.

Ye Chen was actually quite helpless.

They were all about to leave when Hongwu had some bad luck. He was spotted by a giant Thousand-Tailed Beast that was ten meters tall. If I hadn't taken the hit for him, he would have been skewered like a string of candied hawthorns.

Even with his own physical condition, this blow was enough to hurt him.

He had already swallowed all three Nine-Turn Golden Pills on the way.

The first one was the most effective, stopping the bleeding and healing most of the wound. The second and third ones only continued to shrink the wound area.

After that, he didn't dare eat any more in front of them; he couldn't eat too much at once either...

However, in the end, his life was saved.

Hongwu was aware of this matter as well.

From now on, we'll see what he does.

soon.

Hongwu and his two companions returned.

I'm exhausted, like a dog.

They sprinted the entire way without daring to rest for a moment.

When they saw Ye Chen, pale-faced and with a large hole in his chest, they were immediately filled with a deep sense of guilt.

"Hongwu, hurry! Contact your old Wu to bring us back!" Bai Jinhan said anxiously.

"good!"

After saying that, Hongwu immediately took out a small disc device.

There was only one button on it, and he pressed it three times without hesitation—one long and two short.

It only took a dozen seconds.

A strange fluctuation arose around everyone.

They vanished from their spot in an instant.

They returned once again to the familiar underground stone platform of Hongwu's house.

Bai Jinhan immediately helped Ye Chen outside with an anxious expression, "Quickly call me a car! Hurry!"

"Okay, okay!"

Jiang Cha immediately got to work.

Zhuge Yue followed closely behind.

The elders of the Hong family and Old Wu were stunned when they saw this scene.

He quickly grabbed Hongwu, who was trying to help, "Xiaowu, what's going on?!"

Hongwu hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "We encountered a horde of Thousand-Man Beasts! Ye Chen was seriously injured while protecting us."

"A Thousand Mimics?!"

"Then...then why are only the five of you out? There were three others..."

As the elders of the Hong family spoke, their voices grew softer and their expressions became increasingly solemn.

Hongwu also looked grim.

"Second Uncle, call Grandpa over. We need to give him an explanation for this."

The man sighed.

"Sigh, okay."

As the group was talking...

Jiang Cha had already driven, taking Zhuge Yue, Bai Jinhan, and Ye Chen to the hospital at top speed.

Bai Jinhan sat in the back row, looking anxious. He had one arm around Ye Chen, who was pale, and was constantly dialing the phone with the other.

But the call never went through, which made her tremble with anger.

"What on earth is she doing?!"

……

"Ningbing, is your phone off? Young Master Qi really hates it when people answer the phone at banquets."

A hotel costing tens of thousands of yuan.

The entrance to the largest banquet hall.

Chongyang smiled broadly, constantly scrutinizing Bai Ningbing, who was dressed in a white pencil skirt, Balenciaga shoes, and high heels.

At this moment, Bai Ningbing was like a snow lotus growing on ice, breathtakingly beautiful, without a single flaw, involuntarily arousing strong feelings of love, protectiveness, and possessiveness in one's heart.

Faced with the "concern" of those who admire foreign things.

She replied indifferently, "It's off."

At this moment, although she appeared calm, she was thinking about something else entirely.

Where did Ye Chen go...?

unconsciously.

She had already gotten used to Ye Chen's presence.

I'm used to waiting for him to knock on the door every day and eating the meals he cooks.

I'm used to the sounds he makes when he's practicing.

She was used to him calling her "Miss Bai" every day.

……

For the past few days, she has been waiting at home for him to come home.

I wanted to tell him that I was coming to the banquet.

But even when Chongyang came to pick her up this morning, she didn't see him at the door.

A strong sense of loss had enveloped her.

She even started to fantasize that Ye Chen was already preparing to break the contract and leave her.

But upon further reflection, she rejected the idea.

After spending these days together, she felt she knew what kind of person Ye Chen was.

Honesty, trustworthiness, strength, and resilience.

He won't leave her, at least not before the contract expires...

He won't leave!

After that, she became determined to attend the banquet.

As long as she gets the method to eradicate the toxin from here, she can recover her normal body, live a normal life, and have the same lifespan as others!

Then...

Let him rediscover himself!
