Hu Yulin and Alex both sensed someone, but what appeared before them now were three people.
This could only mean one thing: the other two were far more powerful than them, not only concealing their scents but even their very presence, making them undetectable.
Thus, in that instant, both of them tensed up, a look of alarm on their faces.
In reality, they had only guessed half of it. Lu Caiwei was indeed more powerful than them, while Yang Ruoyun owed everything to the Inverse Scale Armor she wore.
Lu Caiwei, scanning the room filled with the stench of blood, frowned, a look of displeasure on her face.
Even this small movement caused Hu Yulin and Alex to appear tense.
"Fourth Sister..."
Seeing Hu Siniang lying on the ground, her life hanging in the balance, Hu Mengyao couldn't help but cry out and moved to enter.
As she moved, Hu Yulin and Alex exchanged glances and immediately made their first moves.
Hu Yulin spat, and the colorful mist he had inhaled earlier once again spread out.
Alex, meanwhile, threw the dagger in his hand at his opponents and then vanished into the shadows in the corner of the room without a trace.
Seeing their actions, Lu Caiwei did not panic in the slightest. She merely reached out and pushed forward gently, a surge of colorful mist blooming in her palm.
The colorful mist in the air instantly lost its color, turning into a wisp of white energy that dissipated into the air.
Alex let out a scream as he was forced out of the shadows, his entire body burning as if on fire, with widespread burns. However, due to his regenerative abilities, they were healing rapidly.
Lu Caiwei then leisurely walked inside.
"Is that all?" Lu Caiwei asked with a hint of disdain.
However, she wasn't speaking to Hu Yulin or Alex, but to Yang Ruyun beside her.
Yang Ruoyun couldn't help but roll her eyes. *So you're strong, I get it. What's there to be so proud of? You were so powerful, yet you didn't fare well against my man back then.*
Of course, she only dared to think these things in her heart and wouldn't say them aloud.
"I think you're thinking of something bad?"
"Where would I?" Yang Ruoyun averted her gaze, her eyes darting around uncertainly.
At this moment, Hu Mengyao had already stepped forward to help Hu Siniang up and remove the iron chains from her hands.
Seeing Hu Siniang's tragic state, tears welled up in Hu Mengyao's eyes.
"Since you've done so much, save her," Yang Ruoyun said.
Hu Mengyao, upon hearing this, immediately knelt before Lu Caiwei.
Lu Caiwei didn't react much, merely looking at Yang Ruoyun and saying with a slight pout, "You're always causing trouble for me."
Yang Ruoyun pursed her lips and didn't respond.
Despite her words, Lu Caiwei's actions didn't cease. She reached out and grabbed, and Alex, who was lying in the corner, flew towards them.
Alex's injuries had already healed, and he was contemplating escape when he was once again restrained.
As Alex arrived before Lu Caiwei, she extended her delicate hand and flicked her long, slender fingers towards his forehead. Alex felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow, his head snapping back with a crack. Then, a mass of green energy emerged from the back of his head.
Alex's body rapidly withered, becoming a mummy almost in the blink of an eye, just like his brother.
Lu Caiwei waved her hand, tossing him to the ground, and then infused the green energy into Hu Siniang's body.
As the green energy was injected, Hu Siniang's body recovered at a visible rate.
Lu Caiwei didn't even glance at them and turned to Yang Ruyun, "Let's go."
"What about him?" Yang Ruoyun pointed at Hu Yulin, who was standing by, staring blankly without moving.
"Him?"
Lu Caiwei smiled slightly and flicked her finger. Hu Yulin's body instantly exploded, transforming into a fox tail that landed on the ground.
It turned out that this was not Hu Yulin's true form.
Seeing that Lu Caiwei had resolved all issues with such ease, Yang Ruoyun saw no reason to stay any longer.
She looked down at Hu Mengyao and said, "I'm leaving. You'll have to handle the rest."
With Hu Siniang almost recovered, she assumed Hu Mengyao would be able to manage everything.
At this moment, Lu Caiwei had already turned and walked out of the room. She disliked such environments, finding them too impure and bloody. If it weren't for Yang Ruoyun, she wouldn't have stepped foot in here.
Yang Ruoyun hurried to catch up.
"Are you going back now?"
"What? Used me up and now you're kicking me out?"
"Not at all. How about you come over to my place for a bit?" Yang Ruoyun said politely.
To her surprise, Lu Caiwei directly nodded. "Sure."
Yang Ruoyun: →_→
Lu Caiwei, as if not noticing her expression, walked straight out of the beauty salon.
But as soon as she stepped out, she immediately looked up at the sky.
Yang Ruoyun, who had followed her out, also instinctively looked up at the sky.
The sky was filled with thick fog, obscuring the starry sky, and it was gradually spreading towards the ground.
"Is this spiritual energy?" Yang Ruoyun asked, a bit surprised.
The spiritual energy falling from the sky had been happening for more than a day or two, but why was there so much now, enough to block out the stars?
Lu Caiwei's expression turned slightly serious as she shook her head. "Not entirely."
"Then what is it?" Yang Ruoyun asked curiously.
"I'm heading back. You— go find your man. There's likely to be big trouble ahead," Lu Caiwei said before vanishing.
"Hey—"
"I told you he's not my man, honestly."
Yang Ruoyun muttered indignantly, her expression also turning serious. Seeing Lu Caiwei's look just now, the fog was probably unusual.
"Should I go find him?" Yang Ruoyun fell into a dilemma.
-----------------
"Brother, why are you calling me in the middle of the night?"
Liu Nanfeng, who was fast asleep, suddenly received a call from Zhan Dundun. Seeing the time, it was almost 2 AM, and he felt rather speechless.
"Hahaha..."
Zhan Dundun didn't get to the point and started laughing.
"You're insane. If you don't say anything, I'm hanging up," Liu Nanfeng said.
"No, no, I'll say it, I'll say it, okay?"
Zhan Dundun felt that if he didn't vent today, he would go mad.
"Hurry up."
"Wenhui agreed to be my girlfriend," Zhan Dundun said excitedly.
"Oh..."
"Just 'oh'? Such a big deal, and you just say 'oh'?"
Hearing Liu Nanfeng's indifferent tone, Dundun said with dissatisfaction.
He felt that Liu Nanfeng should be as happy as he was.
"You're crazy, talking about this in the middle of the night? If Wenhui agreed, she agreed. You've been chasing her for so long, is this really surprising? Moreover, whether she agreed or not, she owes you an explanation, otherwise, I'll have to advise you to stay away from her."
"Why?" Dundun asked, a little confused.
"Figure it out yourself, you simpering dog. I'm hanging up." Liu Nanfeng said, about to end the call.
"Don't, I have other things," Zhan Dundun quickly said.
Liu Nanfeng threw his phone onto the pillow, not hanging up, and continued to sleep.
"So Shen Wenhui already knew my identity. Do you remember the summer vacation of fourth grade..."
Liu Nanfeng, groggy, heard this and seemed to recall something. He had long suspected that Shen Wenhui knew Dundun's identity, and the problem was here.
"Right, when we were walking in the park today, we also ran into the fox spirit we saved last night. She and another cat demon were being chased..."
Liu Nanfeng, who had closed his eyes to sleep, instantly woke up and opened his eyes.
