On the winding mountain road.
The autumn wind blew in front of them.
The fallen leaves fluttered in the wind.
An off-road vehicle was seen hobbling along the mountain road.
It was like an old man with asthma. Every step he took, every cough he took, it was very… leisurely.
“How… How is it?” Through the rearview mirror in the car, Duan Ye looked at Chen Yu and Bahuang Yi smugly. “This car, is it much smoother now?”
Chen Yu stretched out his hands and firmly grasped his shaking head. “Can you f*cking let go of the clutch?”
“Is that so?” Duan Ye suddenly let go of the clutch.
Pfft…
The SUV immediately stalled.
“Do you know how to drive?” Without waiting for Chen Yu to scold him, Duan Ye frowned and complained, “Don’t blindly give directions if you don’t know how to drive.”
“Who told you to let go all of a sudden?! Let go slowly!” Chen Yu roared. “And with a speed of ten miles per hour, are you f*cking going into sixth gear?! Are you crazy? Go into first gear!”
“Look at our Brother Yu.” Duan Ye laughed mockingly at Bahuang Yao. “He’s just a fool. Even sixth gear is so slow. If you go into first gear, aren’t you going backward?”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
Chen Yu: “…”
When the car started up again.
Chen Yu turned to look at Bahuang Yi and said shakily, “Should… Should I… Drive?”
“No… There’s no need.” Bahuang Yi’s eyes did not waver. “Let him drive.”
“Alright then.” Chen Yu leaned back and leaned back in his seat. “Tell… Tell us.”
“Tell us what?”
“To assign our mission to you… Here and in the same car. There must be something that you want to tell us… Tell us.”
“Okay.” Bahuang Yi nodded his head indiscernibly.
Chen Yu: “…”
Bahuang Yi: “…”
Chen Yu: “…Why are you so naggy?”
“There’s no rush.” Bahuang Yi glanced at the excited Duan Ye in the driver’s seat and said, “We’ll talk when we get there.”
“When… When he gets there, you’ve forgotten what you want to say, right?”
Hearing this, Bahuang Yi leaned over and looked at the speedometer on the control panel.
It was already 15 miles per hour.
Duan Ye, who was in the driver’s seat, noticed Bahuang Yi’s gaze and said smugly, “God Yi, my driving skills have improved very quickly, right?”
Bahuang Yi retracted his body and said, “Then, I’ll say it now.”
Chen Yu stretched out his hand. “Say it.”
Bahuang Yi nodded. “My sister, Bahuang Yao.”
Chen Yu said, “I know. I also know that your father’s name is Bahuang Zhen.”
In the front passenger seat, Bahuang Yao suddenly became nervous and pricked up her ears.
“Yes. Bahuang Yao is very good with you.”
“And then?”
Bahuang Yi: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Following Bahuang Yi’s silence, even the roar of the engine in the car seemed to have lessened significantly.
Bahuang Yi: “…I’ll give her to you.”
Chen Yu: “!”
Duan Ye: “!!”
Bahuang Yao: “!!!”
Creak–
The brakes were stepped on, and the SUV instantly turned off and stopped in the middle of the road..
Chen Yu and Duan Ye looked at Bahuang Yi in shock.
Bahuang Yao did not turn around, but her rapidly moving shoulders revealed her current emotions.
“You…” Chen Yu looked Bahuang Yi up and down. “What did you say?”
Bahuang Yi’s gaze met Chen Yu’s and he repeated, “I’ll. Give. Her. To. You.”
Chen Yu: “…”
Bahuang Yao: “Wu wu…”
“Wait… Wait a moment. Allow me to interrupt first.” Duan Ye could not help but raise his hand. “This ‘gave’, was it ‘given’ seriously?”
Ignoring Duan Ye’s words, Bahuang Yi continued, “Literally, I give her to you. Do you want her?”
“You gave her to me?”
“Yes, I gave her to you.”
Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed. “Like a commodity, you gave her?”
“No.” Bahuang Yi also narrowed his eyes. “Like a person, I gave her to you.”
“Brother…” Bahuang Yao said in a trembling voice, “What… What do you want to do…”
“Shut up.”
“…”
“Do you want her or not?” Bahuang Yi’s tone was still indifferent. “If you want her, she will be your wife in the future.”
Hearing this, Bahuang Yao trembled even more violently.
Chen Yu had other thoughts. He subconsciously touched his chin and said thoughtfully, “Do you have the final say in such matters?”
“Bahuang family, I don’t have the final say. But your talent has already been shown. The Bahuang family will not object to your marriage alliance. After that, I will also pave the way for you. I will give you whatever you want. The Bahuang family, one of the top ten families in the world, will be your strongest support.”
“F*ck…” Duan Ye was stunned. “Is this the house, car, job, connections, and savings…”
“After that, your Bahuang family won’t be able to control Xiao Yao, right?” Chen Yu asked.
“We can control her.” Bahuang Yi raised his head. “It’s just that when the time comes, we’ll see how powerful you are. If you’re strong enough, the entire family will be controlled by you instead.”
Hearing that, Chen Yu was silent for a moment. He raised his hand and knocked on the roof of the car. “Duan Ye, Little Yao, get out of the car.”
Duan Ye: “Ah?”
“Get out of the car and get lost.”
“It’s not good to carry people!” Duan Ye was displeased.
Bahuang Yi said, “Get out of the car.”
“Alright!” Duan Ye’s expression instantly changed. He happily pulled the dazed Bahuang Yao out of the car.
“There’s no one else now,” Bahuang Yi said.
Chen Yu asked, “Are there any eavesdroppers in the car?”
“Yes.” Bahuang Yi snapped his fingers.
Pa!
Zi zi zi…
A few cremations appeared in the car. He nodded. “Not anymore.”
“Alright.” Chen Yu glanced at Duan Ye outside the car. He lowered his voice and said in a shocking tone, “The change in direction of the Beast Tide in Qingcheng City was your doing, right?”
Bahuang Yi was expressionless and admitted without any hesitation, “Yes.”
“I fucking knew it.” Chen Yu smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it up. “Since the apocalypse, the Beast Tide has never been controlled by humans. How did you do it?”
Bahuang Yi asked back, “How did you guess it?”
“I’m from Qingcheng, so I know more information. Plus, I’m from No. 2 High School, and that Xing Bi came to No. 2 High School too, so I figured it out step by step.”
He exhaled a puff of smoke, Chen Yu’s tone was calm. “First of all, I want to thank you. Because you turned the Beast Tide around, my mother, my sister, and my friends were able to survive. But I want to ask, why did you do that? Is Qingcheng your home?”
“Yes.”
“Do people like you care about home?”
“I don’t care about home.” Bahuang Yi’s body trembled slightly for a second. “I only care about Bahuang Yao.”
“The Beast Tide is coming. As a high school student and the top student of No. 1 High School, Bahuang Yao will definitely be the first to retreat. Whether you change the direction of the Beast Tide or not, she won’t die. The one who will die will only be your father. Because he is the director, he has to live and die with the city.”
“I know she won’t die. But…” Bahuang Yi’s eyes flashed with a sick light. “Her room will disappear.”
“…What?” Chen Yu was suddenly shocked. “What did you say?”
“The Beast Tide is coming. Bahuang Yao’s room will disappear.”
“Just… Just because of a room? You sacrificed a city?!”
“Yes. How about it?”
“Are you a f*cking pervert?”
Bahuang Yi stretched his legs and took out a bottle of red wine from the small refrigerator in the car. He poured himself a glass, he gently shook the red liquid in the goblet. “Bahuang Yao lives there. The house has the most beautiful memory of her life and her mother. It also has the memory of me living with her. Naturally, I can’t destroy it.”
“Then destroy the hundreds of thousands of people in the neighboring He City?”
“Their lives have nothing to do with me.”
Bahuang Yi took a sip. His thin lips were stained with the red wine in a sinister color. “On the east side of Qingcheng, there is a smaller city. But the Beast Tide came from the void. They won’t disperse until they are full. I lured them to the He City, which has a larger population.”
Although Chen Yu was the beneficiary of the Beast Tide’s change, he could no longer suppress his anger. “Are you a devil?”
“I am Bahuang Yi.”
“…One cannot live when one commits a sin. Have you thought of the consequences?”
“I have. I can only die.” Bahuang Yi put down his wine glass and looked at Chen Yu. “How is it?”
“…I understand.”
Chen Yu took a deep breath and nodded. “I understand why you called us here. It seems like you won’t be able to escape this time?”
Bahuang Yi was noncommittal. “You’re still too far away from my level. The conflicts in the upper echelons of the human race are too deep, and I’m just a chess piece.”
“So you entrusted Bahuang Yao to me?”
“Yes. Without me, she will be gnawed until not even her bones are left.”
“What if I don’t accept it?” Chen Yu asked.
“Why don’t you accept it?”
“She’s too flat.”
Bahuang Yi: “…”
In silence, Bahuang Yi drank the rest of the red wine, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes. “Then I’ll kill her.”
“Kill? Your sister?”
“Yes.”
“…You’re really a pervert.”
“This dirty world shouldn’t exist in the first place.” Bahuang Yi’s body seemed to exude a twisted murderous aura. “I only hate that I don’t have enough time.”
“Will you die?” Chen Yu suddenly changed the topic.
“I hope I will die.”
“One last question. What will happen next in the capital?”
“Don’t you already know?”
“…”
“This is a great disaster. You know it clearly. I can let you two live 100%.”
“…”
“…”
After saying this, the two of them fell into a long silence.
A long while later.
Duan Ye led Bahuang Yao to the front of the car. He sized up the interior of the car and knocked on the window. “Hey, are you two done?”
Chen Yu: “…”
Bahuang Yi nodded. “Come in.”
“Alright!”
After opening the car door, Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao got into the car.
Buzz–
After starting the engine, Duan Ye turned around and said, “Then, shall we continue on our journey?”
Bahuang Yi said, “Let’s go.”
“Alright!”
After saying that, Duan Ye put his right hand into gear like a phantom and suddenly stepped on the accelerator.
Pfft.
Pfft…
The off-road vehicle continued to ‘stagger’ on the road. This time, it was clearly much smoother.
Bahuang Yi put away his wine glass with a stagger and said expressionlessly, “I’ll only give you one day to think about it.”
The girl in the front passenger seat trembled.
“There’s no need for one more day.” Chen Yu pointed at Bhang Yao. “Your sister, I want her.”
Bahuang Yao: “!!!”
Creak —
The car stopped burning once again…
…
When Chen Yu and the others arrived at Xiaowutai Mountain, the sky had already darkened.
The evening sun shone on the road, giving it a golden color unique to autumn.
Squeak…
The car stopped, turned off the engine, and opened the door.
Chen Yu and the others got out of the car.
“You guys are too slow.” Overlord at the top of the mountain rushed over in anger, glaring at Bahuang Yi. “It’s dark!”
“Then let’s kill in the dark,” Bahuang Yi replied calmly. He walked straight to the cliff at the top of the mountain and looked at the dense herd of beasts below.
“Why are you guys so slow?!” Jieyi walked over and stomped her feet anxiously. “Do you know that I…”
Her voice paused. She carefully glanced at Overlord and lowered her voice. “Do you know how painful it is for me to stay here? It’s too depressing. I’m going to die…”
“It’s not our fault.” Duan Ye sighed. “The performance of this car is not good. I’ve already stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, but it still can’t run fast. Hmm, let’s not talk about this. Let me tell you good news.”
“What?” Jieyi was stunned.
Duan Ye reached out and pointed at Chen Yu and Bahuang Yao. His tone was filled with resentment. “The two of them got married on the spot.”
Jieyi: “??!”
“Ah…” Bahuang Yao’s face turned red, but in front of Jieyi, she felt inexplicably proud. “Hmph.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Wodefak? Married? You got married in the car?”
Chen Yu: “Yeah, it’s all thanks to Duan Ye’s fast driving. Otherwise, she would have had a child.”
“Bullsh*t!” Duan Ye waved his hand. “You have the nerve to blame me for your dirty political marriage.”
“…Bahuang Yao.” Jieyi looked at the girl. “What… What the hell is going on?”
“Don’t… Don’t listen to Duan Ye’s nonsense.” Bahuang Yao lowered her head, and the redness spread from her cheeks to the roots of her neck. “We… We just made a verbal agreement.”
“Yes.” Chen Yu nodded. “A verbal agreement is considered an engagement. It doesn’t have to be a marriage. Unless one day, she won’t be so flat anymore.”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
“Did you hear that?” Duan Ye suddenly perked up and moved closer to the young girl’s ear. “With your situation… He doesn’t want to marry you at all. He’s putting this…”
Pa!
After saying that, Duan Ye lowered his head as if he had foreseen it.
Then, Chen Yu’s palm flew over Duan Ye’s head and slapped Bahuang Yao’s face uncontrollably.
Slap!
The sound was quite crisp.
It was eye-catching.
Chen Yu: “…”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
In the distance, Bahuang Yi, who was standing at the edge of the cliff, seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look over.
Chen Yu was shocked and quickly made a gesture to gently pat the girl’s face twice. “Little Yao, your little face is really elastic.”
“…” Bahuang Yi narrowed his eyes and directly jumped off the cliff.
Then, he floated in mid-air and spread his arms.
Dong!
A force that was as high as the peak of Level 4 exploded!
The spreading storm caused Chen Yu and the others to retreat one after another.
“This kind of force is indeed worthy of Bahuang Yi,” Jieyi muttered to herself. “It’s almost comparable to a Level 6 martial artist…”
Then, under everyone’s gaze, Bahuang Yi charged into the center of the beast group alone, towards the gigantic exotic beast.
“Martial Art — Image Formation.”
Swish swish swish…
Light and shadows flickered, and the energy churned.
Everyone’s vision blurred, and they saw Bahuang Yi split from one person into ten people! He charged towards the gigantic beast in the center with the might of the falling stars.
In the next instant, the ten shadows overlapped, and Bahuang Yi once again soared into the air.
The giant beast, which was at least at the peak of Level 5, was broken into hundreds of pieces.
Its blood, organs, and bones exploded like a bomb…
Chen Yu: “…”
“F*ck…” Duan Ye was dumbfounded.
However, Bahuang Yi’s attack wasn’t over yet.
Hovering in the air, he put his palms together, and a terrifying pressure suddenly spread out!
In the blink of an eye, the evening sky was covered by dark clouds.
Chen Yu: “…”
“F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!” Duan Ye clenched his fists as he looked at his long robe that was blown by the strong wind. “Is this the legendary… How many floors does a bag of rice have to carry?!”
Boom!
A thunderous explosion sounded.
A huge amount of energy circuits gushed out of Bahuang Yi’s thin body.
“Martial Art — Space Escape Punishment.”
Crack–
In everyone’s eyes, they could vaguely see that the world had been divided into two parts.
Kacha–
Four parts…
Kacha–
Eight parts…
At the bottom of the cliff, thousands of exotic beasts seemed to have been slashed by Bahuang Yi’s invincible sword, and their bodies were torn into pieces on the spot.
Not a single one of them was left alive…
“Hu…”
The strength of a peak Level 4 expert was withdrawn.
However, the stench of blood filled the air.
The entire Year 1 Class 2 had their minds frozen.
This display of battle prowess had already exceeded the understanding of Chen Yu and the other two.
“Brother Yu…”
After a long while.
Duan Ye reached out and held his chin, trying his best to close it. “Brother Yu… He… He’s here with you…”
Cold sweat dripped down Chen Yu’s back. His palm that was still pressed against Bahuang Yao’s face trembled slightly as he rubbed it. “Baby… Baby… Are you still in pain…”
The young girl looked at her brother’s figure in the sky. Her thoughts were blank as she muttered, “…It hurts.”
“Please don’t hurt anymore…”
“…”
“…It hurts.”
