Chapter 272: Episode 25.3 Shen Yuan To The Rescue!

"The eff?!" Shen Yuan looked at the collapsed underground subway. He just can’t believe that the old but sturdy subway he’d seen just hours ago is a pile of rubble now.

What about the hunters and agents? Are they safe? All dead? He saw no signs of life crawling out of this collapsed concrete.

Shit! He and Yanyan soar to the sky at Mach 20 speed! There’s no way he will let such great efforts be wasted!

"Foxfire beasts!" He summoned his five tiny fox disciples and sent them on a rescue mission. "Go into the tiny cracks of this wreckage and look for everyone. Dead or alive, I want you to find them!"

The five playful foxes swished their tails as a sign of understanding. Just like that, they dived into the cracks and started their search.

Above ground, Shen Yuan’s heart is pounding against his chest. Although the people he met here were primarily strangers, he promised to do his best to keep them safe. He’s silently hoping that all of them somehow survived this collapse.

The celestial fox spirit fished his phone from his robe and tried to call Gu Jinpeng and Li An. However, both of their phones are out of reach.

"Damn!" Shen Yuan unwittingly cursed. Both of his subordinates must be caught up by the collapse!

"Daddy," Shen Yuan felt a soft tug on his hanfu.

"It’s okay. They’re okay." Yanyan comfortingly said to him in his milky voice. He can’t say why, but he really believed in those innocent eyes looking at him.

Shen Yuan stood and waited for any news from his foxfire beasts. He has no options, even with his powers. He has to be careful when removing debris because he may accidentally hurt someone due to his actions. Infrastructure collapse is his most hated of all accidents because of the need for a complex rescue plan and the inevitable waiting game.

Almost five minutes passed, and the first responders arrived at the scene. Before leaving, he asked Qin Mian to send help. These must be the ones he called.

"Master Shen, can you tell us what happened?" One firefighter approached him. Shen Yuan readily cooperated and immediately explained the situation to the best of his knowledge, but since he wasn’t on the scene when the loud sound occurred, the cause remained a mystery.

"If this is a gas leak, please refrain from using your fire magic."

Shen Yuan didn’t argue. He had already sent five spirits with flames as their furs. How is he supposed to tell them that?

Yanyan looked at his Daddy. The boy chooses to be silent, making Shen Yuan feel more guilty.

"Oh no! There’s fire coming out of that dent!" The valiant firefighters alertly readied the firehose and targeted the holes where tongues of fire were coming out.

Shen Yuan and Yanyan looked at it suspiciously, both understanding what this flame really was.

"Go!" Hoping to stop the fire from spreading, the firefighters fired powerful water jets at the fire. They are so focused on putting out the fire that they overlook that these aren’t real flames but cute little foxes with furs made of fire!

"Hik!"

"Kyak!"

"Shii~!

"Hiiii!"

"Kik!"

One after another, the returning foxfire beasts rolled pathetically on the ground, drenched in water.

"What are these?" The firefighters looked dumbfounded as they looked at the five curious creatures.

"Just baby foxes made by my magic," Shen Yuan responded matter-of-factly. For the rescue, he generously added a lot of mana to their body so they could touch and lift things if needed.

But who would have thought that his rare display of generosity would hurt these naughty cuties?

It’s tough to be them.

"Kiik! Kiik! Kiik!"

"Hiii! Hii!"

The five tiny creatures joined forces to issue their protest towards Shen Yuan, screaming! Their indignation transformed into flames that evaporated the water on their body, creating a hissing sound.

"Fine!" Shen Yuan silenced them with a flip of his sleeves. "You can keep that form for two days straight! These damn opportunists!"

The five foxfire beasts stopped their yapping and looked at Shen Yuan wide-eyed. Blatantly showing their surprise for such a good deal coming from their cheapskate master.

Shen Yuan just rolled their eyes at them. Yanyan approached the five tiny creatures and asked, "Have you seen the big brothers?"

Only then did the foxfire beast start scrambling on their feet. Because of their inability to communicate with humans, the five did their best to explain to Yanyan their findings using body language. One lay on the ground, while the other stood over it, bending their bodies into a perfect arch. Then, all of a sudden, the last two foxes leaped and landed squarely on top of the three fellow foxfire beasts.

What a cute but incomprehensible non-verbal communication. Useless.

The adults around were watching them, speechless, and Shen Yuan looked deeply unimpressed even though he understood every meaning they wanted to convey.

"Okay," Shen Yuan lazily drawled, but deep inside, he was happy! They are alright!

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Shen Yuan marched towards the ruins. His beautiful hanfu looked ethereal under natural light and the bellows of the wind.

"Daddy!" Yanyan promptly followed his Daddy and latched onto the skirt. Of course, the foxfire beasts also followed like proud little ducklings.

Shen Yuan opened his nine tails like a fan and silently mustered a massive amount of mana. Based on the information shared by the foxfire beasts, the layers of rubble separating them are thick, and the locations of the survivors are spread out.

A major magic is needed to save them in one lifting.

"Which is why..." Shen Yuan raised his arms, and the balls of heavenly foxfire condensed into a humongous fireball!

"The sun!" Yanyan blurted out in amazement. His five-year-old mind never expected that he would get to see the sun this close!

"No, baby. That’s Daddy’s magic," Shen Yuan cooly said before throwing the giant heavenly foxfire.

Boom!

Everyone stared stupidly at the spectacle. The firefighter who asked Shen Yuan not to use fire magic was especially silent. How could he say anything after seeing how Shen Yuan quickly conjured a sun-like fireball? He’ll die without fighting if he antagonizes such a big boss!

"Oh my gosh! The rocks are turning to dust!" The first responders, who all turned into spectators, looked at how monstrous the heavenly foxfire of Shen Yuan was, mouths agape. This is the first time they’ve seen such potent fire capable of thoroughly burning the concrete to dust!

The rocks and metals looked as if they were withering quickly and helplessly under the unforgiving bluish-white fire of Shen Yuan.

The ruins vanished in the blink of an eye, revealing a massive water dome. The waves on its surface move in a particular direction, creating a pattern resembling a turtle shell. The details were further accentuated by some suspicious black streaks in the water.

"It’s Admiral Wu Jin’s famous Tortoise Shell!"

The water dome is turbid; hence, he can’t see if the dungeon remains untouched inside it.

However, the existence of this water dome is a testimony that the hunters and agents here are safe! Thank heavens!

He internally sighed. Sometimes, he really wants to kiss himself for calling the shots at the right time. He never thought that his decision to ask Wu Jin to stay would save almost a hundred lives.

"But why so smelly?" Yanyan asked in a low voice. The little boy planted his face to his Daddy’s butt to hide from the sewage smell.

Shen Yuan uncomfortably shifted his stance and joked. "Yanyan, why are you burying your face there? Do you want to go back from where you came from?"

Confused, the little boy looked up and stared at the celestial fox spirit.

"Hik! Hik!"

"Kikiki!" The not-so-innocent little foxes giggled on the side.

Shen Yuan, Yanyan, and the little foxes watched the water dome curiously and attentively. Behind them, the celestial fox spirit heard low murmuring from the people, and that’s how he heard a possible explanation for the stink.

"Oh my! This is my first time seeing the Wu family’s unique Black Tortoise magic! If I am correct, that enables them to use real water and, at the same time, to magically conjure water to improve their strength. Admiral Wu Jin must use the sewage water."

Shen Yuan discreetly gulped and thought, ’That figures.’

Swish!

Suddenly, the water dome collapsed, splashing its dirty waters everywhere.

"Holy sh—" Shen Yuan immediately picked up his son and floated in the air to avoid the flood surge. The vain little foxes also scuttled to avoid getting splashed.

Once the water dome disappeared, all the missing people were revealed to be unharmed, only drenched by repulsive dirty water. The dungeon gate also seems unharmed as it is showing its usual glow, now stable and showing no signs of breaking.

In the midst of them is the hero of the hour, Admiral Wu Jin.

"Shen Yuan!" Admiral Wu Jin screamed the omega’s name like it was his tormentor’s name. "I should have left you here and volunteered to oversee other dungeons! You wouldn’t believe what happened here!"

The celestial fox spirit is secretly happy that everyone is in one piece. However, he’s not keen on receiving a hug, nor does he like to rub elbows with Wu Jin now.

"Wait!" Shen Yuan raised his hand before the alpha could go near him. Excuse his bad manners, but Admiral Wu Jin’s uniform is drenched with stinky sewage water!

However, Admiral Wu Jin is too enthusiastic about sharing his experience with Shen Yuan.

He yelled, "A black cat! The black cat that you mentioned in your report appeared here! The pink-haired cardinal you’ve been cursing is the reason behind the subway’s collapse!"

Shen Yuan’s heart thundered. He knew it! Such a synchronized sneak attack is done by that bitch!

"Where is he?!" Shen Yuan screamed back. He slowly descended to the ground. Of course, he remained floating so as not to sully his beautiful hanfu.

"He ran away," Wu Jin lowered his head. He felt slightly guilty that the terrorist managed to slip through his grasp. "I think his sole purpose was to create troubles here and there. You must go and check other dungeons! The Cardinals must want to make a mess!"

Wu Jin said that, but Shen Yuan was skeptical that the Cardinals were just here to disturb order, like a typical terrorist. The cogs inside his head started to turn at top speed.

"Wait! That cat bastard has the powers of Nekomata, a necromancer! Is there anything here that bastard could use?"

Wu Jin’s eyes widened as he realized something. There is! It’s—

"Help! The dead bloodhounds are attacking!"
