He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Lu Chen blew on his fist, then his figure flashed and he teleported onto the flying boat.

His posture was calm and composed, as if the earth-shattering punch he had just delivered was nothing more than a casual dusting.

He said casually, "Alright, go back to rest."

"Boss, you've worked so hard!!"

Miao Tiaojun quickly came over and pulled out a palm-leaf fan from somewhere.

She diligently fanned Lu Chen.

He carefully massaged Lu Chen's shoulders with his chubby hands.

The force was just right, and the care was meticulous.

"Yes, boss!"

Upon hearing this, Canglong immediately straightened his plump body and responded loudly as if receiving a military order.

They then skillfully maneuvered the airship, found a relatively flat sand dune nearby, and slowly landed to set up camp and rest.

Not far away, Liu Yanyan, piloting her palace-themed magical artifact, followed almost simultaneously with Wang Xiaoqiao's jewel-mask-shaped flying boat.

This time, the three parties are closer than before.

"Those three women, are they here to cause trouble too?!"

Canglong stared warily at the two magnificent flying boats.

Having experienced Fu Shou'er's insidious scheme of "shifting the blame eastward,"

His wariness of these female classmates had reached its peak.

"If they dare to cause trouble, just shoot them!"

Xuanyuan Tai coldly replied, cracking his neck and making a soft snapping sound, his eyes filled with disgust.

"To be honest, I've never seen such a stupid, foolish woman as Fatty Pig."

His brain is filled with nothing but excrement.

Hopefully, these three women will know what's good for them.

"They can't withstand a single sword strike from me."

Hua Zhanyue didn't say much, but simply pushed the sword guard lightly with his thumb, revealing a chilling glint in the cold blade, and then pressed it back down, his movements swift and decisive.

Now that things have come to this, if the other party dares to cause trouble again, he will show no mercy with his sword.

Just kill them all. In this perilous Yellow Springs Desert, it's perfectly normal for a few people to die.

Lu Chen reclined on the throne, seemingly oblivious to Liu Yanyan and the others; he was resting with his eyes closed.

He was flirting with his several "miniature wives".

Liu Yanyan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in her heart.

Carefully stepping out of the palace's magical artifact, he arrived beneath the Hidden Dragon Flying Boat and looked up, shouting:

"Lu Chen! Let's cooperate! I know the route on the map. You provide the military support, and if we go out together, we'll definitely reach the defense line faster and more safely!"

She thought to herself, she has the map information, and they have overwhelming combat power. The two sides complement each other's strengths, so Lu Chen should have no reason to refuse, right?

On the airship, everyone's eyes instinctively turned to Lu Chen, awaiting his decision.

Lu Chen frowned slightly, but without opening his eyes, he transmitted his thoughts to Canglong:

"Canglong, go and send her away. We don't need any cooperation."

He finally understood that all the women who were actively courting him had ulterior motives and none of them were easy to deal with; staying away was the best policy.

He has his gentle and considerate wives, which is enough for him.

Why get involved in these unnecessary troubles?

"Alright, boss!"

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Canglong's spirits immediately lifted, a look of joy spreading across his chubby face. He quickly patted his chest and assured him...

"I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly for you!"

He thought to himself with a smug satisfaction:

"As expected, the boss still likes me the most and trusts me the most!"

Even though that kid Xuanyuan Tai has a niece-aunt relationship with the eldest brother,

Hua Zhanyue, that blockhead, is a descendant of the eldest brother's family.

None of them can compare to my position in the boss's heart!

"These kinds of 'diplomatic' matters are best left to me!"

Hidden Dragon strode lightly to the edge of the flying boat.

Looking down at Liu Yanyan below, he cleared his throat:

"Liu Yanyan, there's no need for cooperation. We have plenty of maps!"

As he spoke, he added a reminder: "From now on, you go your way on your narrow paths, and we'll go our way on our main roads. Let's keep to ourselves and not mess with each other!!!"

He paused, a cruel smile creeping across his fat face, and added:

"Otherwise... well, you've already seen the consequences."

Our boss has a good temper, but we underlings don't have that kind of patience.

"You..." Liu Yanyan's face stiffened at such a clean and decisive rejection, her fists clenched involuntarily, and a surge of resentment welled up in her heart.

Chen Xiaofeng, who was next to her, opened her mouth.

He wanted to say something to ease the tension, but remembering his own limitations, he timidly shut his mouth.

I feel like I have absolutely no say here.

Liu Yanyan mentally patted herself down several times, suppressing her anger, and forced a smile back onto her face as she shouted again:

"Believe me! I've memorized everything on the map!"

Furthermore, I researched a lot of precautions regarding the Yellow Springs Desert beforehand!

By working together, we can minimize risks and have a much greater chance of overcoming them!

Seeing that the people on the airship seemed unmoved, she gritted her teeth and threw out what she considered her "bargaining chip":

"And... about you killing Fu Shou'er and Xian Jingyuan... we can talk about that, I promise..."

"bass--!"

Before she finished speaking, the atmosphere on the airship suddenly changed!

"Are you saying you're threatening us?"

Canglong's face instantly darkened, and his voice turned icy.

Miao Tiaojun, Xuanyuan Tai, and Hua Zhanyue stepped forward almost simultaneously, standing shoulder to shoulder with Canglong.

Four sharp auras, like invisible mountains, crashed down on Liu Yanyan!

Liu Yanyan felt her breath catch in her throat, as if she were being watched by four ferocious beasts.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.

She was so frightened that she couldn't say anything more.

"Liu Yanyan, if you want to spend time with those two stupid women, I don't mind giving you a hand..."

Miao Tiaojun said with a sly smile, his voice carrying a chilling undertone.

"And me, I guarantee you won't feel any pain!"

Xuanyuan Tai cracked his wrists, his joints making a soft popping sound. His tone was calm, but his killing intent was palpable.

"Whoosh—!"

Hua Zhan Yue's response was the most direct; his longsword instantly drew three inches from its sheath.

The cold blade gleamed with a chilling light, its sharp aura locking onto Liu Yanyan.

He didn't speak, but his meaning was crystal clear: you want to test your sword against mine?

Looking at the group of menacing figures on the airship, Liu Yanyan's eyelids twitched wildly, her heart almost leaped out of her throat, and her heart turned ice-cold.

She had no doubt that if she dared to say another threatening word,

These people would really kill him right away!

The terrifying scene of Lu Chen annihilating hundreds of demons with a single punch was still vivid in my mind.

His companions were clearly not soft-hearted people either.

"Yan Yan, let's... let's just forget about it."

Chen Xiaofeng turned pale with fright and quickly leaned close to Liu Yanyan's ear, whispering...

"Just follow them obediently for now."

The Yellow Springs Desert is fraught with danger; force alone is not enough without a precise route.

Once they realize they can't get out, they'll naturally come back to us for cooperation...

If we confront them head-on now, we'll be the ones who suffer!

A single word awakened me from my dream!

Liu Yanyan's eyes lit up. Yes, she had been too impulsive and her thinking was too limited.

Why risk bad luck now?

When they hit a wall in the desert and realized that brute force alone wouldn't work,

With access to map information and additional data, wouldn't she have the upper hand?

At that point, why would we be afraid they wouldn't come seeking cooperation?

Having figured this out, Liu Yanyan quickly took a few deep breaths, lowered her posture, and put on a smile:

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I misspoke!"

I absolutely did not mean to threaten you!

Fu Shou'er and the others brought this upon themselves; they deserved it!

I spoke without thinking just now, please don't take it to heart!

Without daring to linger any longer, she grabbed Chen Xiaofeng and fled back to her palace magic treasure, quickly closing the hatch.

"Hmph, she's smart to know her place!"

Canglong watched the hastily departing figure and snorted coldly.

To be honest, if it weren't for that fat woman Fu Shou'er being so vicious as to use a monster egg to lure demons in an attempt to kill them,

They didn't have much killing intent towards Liu Yanyan and the other women.

But after what just happened, any potential danger must be nipped in the bud.

However, just as one wave subsided, another arose.
