Chapter 977: Chapter 0977: He Coaxes the Beauty to Sleep

After making a solemn promise to Gu Xue, Luo Yang felt even more pressure.

If he couldn’t rescue Gu Xiang and Gu Yun, he truly didn’t know how to face Gu Xue.

Attempting a solo rescue mission against Skull Fortress—how could it possibly be easy?

Just then, the sound of a phone ringing broke the silence.

"Only you, can take me to Journey to the West..."

Gu Xue was especially sensitive to this particular ringtone.

After all, she was terrified that someone from Skull Fortress might call to say something like, "We’ve torn up the ticket."

However, it was Luo Yang’s phone ringing.

When he checked the screen, it was a call from Lin Xixin.

Answering the call, Luo Yang asked, "Sister Lin, what’s up?"

Lin Xixin’s voice came through: "Niu Zai, if you’re entering the ring, are T-shirts not allowed?"

It became immediately clear that this was about an advertising deal.

These days, Lin Xixin acted as Luo Yang’s agent. Any offers for advertisements or sponsorships had to go through her.

Of course, the deputy director of Renmin Hospital, Tan Shengmei, also sometimes doubled as Luo Yang’s agent.

Last time, when Luo Yang competed against Japanese ninjas Kui Tou Xiong Er and Nagasaki Hayashi, he wore casual, everyday clothes into the ring.

This time, it might be more formal, perhaps adhering to official dress codes.

Ultimately, the specifics depended on arrangements by the County Sports Bureau.

"I’m not sure, but it should be fine," Luo Yang said uncertainly.

"Then we’ll prepare two options: Option A, if T-shirts are allowed, you wear the T-shirt; Option B, we print the advertisement on your pants," Lin Xixin suggested.

Minor details like these could entirely be left to Lin Xixin to decide.

"Sister Lin, you can make the call," Luo Yang said with a smile.

"Where are you now?" Lin Xixin asked.

"What’s the matter?" Luo Yang countered.

Because Gu Xue was standing right next to him, if Lin Xixin said anything intimate, it would create an awkward situation for Luo Yang.

However, he couldn’t exactly ask Gu Xue to step aside.

"I’m feeling a little blocked again. These past couple of days, I’ve been overwhelmed handling your affairs—I’m feeling a lot of pressure. This is my first time doing something like this. Can you help me with it?" Lin Xixin said.

So it was about unclogging again.

Luo Yang’s lips suddenly felt dry as the image of pure white milk flashed through his mind.

"I’m in Tianjiang City right now. When I get back, I’ll help you with it," Luo Yang replied.

"Hurry back then; can you make it by 9 PM tonight? I need to check the fit of the T-shirt and pants on you," Lin Xixin asked.

When Luo Yang explained that he wouldn’t return until the next day, Lin Xixin sounded slightly disappointed.

"Then tomorrow afternoon—you must come back."

"Sister Lin, got it," Luo Yang assured her.

Ending the call, the lingering thought of milk stayed in Luo Yang’s mind.

Gu Xue asked who it was, and Luo Yang replied that it was a friend.

She was standing close by and naturally overheard parts of their conversation.

From Lin Xixin’s saccharine tone, Gu Xue, with her keen instincts as a woman, sensed that the relationship between the two was anything but ordinary.

"Hey, my sisters haven’t even been rescued—you can’t go back!" Gu Xue protested.

"Sister Xue, I won’t," Luo Yang nodded.

During the day, he had already answered a few calls from Tang Guihua and An Yuying, assuring them he’d be back soon.

Not long ago, Luo Yang had promised all the beauties at home that after his match against the Japanese ninjas, he’d take them to the seaside in Tianjiang City for some fun.

If he didn’t go back tomorrow night, it would mean breaking his word to Tang Guihua, An Yuying, and the others.

But bringing them to the resort now would be far too dangerous.

Just then, another phone call came in.

This time, it was Gu Xue’s ringtone.

Seeing that it was a call from Skull Fortress, Gu Xue’s body instantly tensed up.

Luo Yang, holding her delicate frame, could naturally feel the subtle changes in her body.

"Don’t panic; listen carefully to what they have to say," Luo Yang encouraged.

With that, Gu Xue answered the call.

A cold, female voice on the other end said, "Don’t you dare try any tricks! Otherwise, your two friends are as good as dead!"

Gu Xue quickly responded, "Hey! We’re working on a way to bring her to you without drawing suspicion from anyone else!"

There was a brief silence before the woman on the other end added, "Just a reminder—you don’t have much time left! It’s best not to be clever!"

With that, the call abruptly ended.

If they had access to professional tracking technology, they might’ve been able to pinpoint the mysterious woman’s location.

But for now, they had no friends available who could help.

Seeing Gu Xue glaring at her phone’s screen in fury, Luo Yang comforted her, "Sister Xue, don’t worry. I’ll definitely save Sister Xiang and Sister Yun."

As for how to save them, Luo Yang still didn’t have a concrete plan.

"I feel so exhausted," Gu Xue said, trying to hold back tears.

Honestly, losing the last two siblings she had in this world—it was unimaginable.

Luo Yang was unwilling to use Hong Jiaxin for the exchange. Finding another way to rescue Gu Xiang and Gu Yun seemed as impossible as reaching the heavens.

Tomorrow was October 1st, National Day, and plenty of tourists had already arrived at the resort.

The streets were bustling with diverse visitors, chatting and laughing merrily.

The more crowded it was, the harder it became to locate the members of Skull Fortress.

"Sister Xue, trust me!"

Luo Yang also felt a tinge of sadness as he pulled Gu Xue into his embrace, gently stroking her back to comfort her.

"Come on, you need to think of something!"

As she spoke, she lightly pounded Luo Yang’s back with her small pink fists.

The truth was, there weren’t many good solutions to this problem. The core issue lay in the disparity of strength between the two sides.

If Luo Yang’s skills were immensely superior, he could’ve marched straight into Skull Fortress even with Hong Jiaxin in tow.

Right now, his Shadow Fist hadn’t broken through to the Third Level of Soul Ferry, his Shadowless Kick, though moderately powerful, wasn’t strong enough, and he hadn’t mastered Ferocious Power yet.

The objective barriers of reality prevented Luo Yang from doing as he wished.

"Sister Xue, go back to the hotel and rest. I’ll investigate further," Luo Yang urged her.

Gu Xue’s mind was on the verge of breaking. Having barely slept the previous night, she was both mentally and physically exhausted.

But how could she rest when her heart was consumed with worry?

"No! I’m going with you. Hey, I won’t sleep a wink until they’re rescued!"

Her declaration was a little terrifying.

From the current circumstances, it was likely that, if Gu Xue kept pushing herself, come tomorrow, her sisters might still not be rescued, but she would end up hospitalized first.

Luo Yang understood her desperate emotions.

Lightly brushing her lips with his own, he tried to persuade her, "Sister Xue, you need to rest to have the energy to act later. Please, trust me."

However, Gu Xue remained resolute. "No! I’m not sleeping!

Knowing her stubbornness, Luo Yang realized further attempts at persuasion would be useless.

Keeping her nearby, given her unstable emotions, could easily lead to impulsive actions, which would only hinder Luo Yang’s plans.

After thinking it over, he decided to take her back to the hotel himself, soothe her to sleep, and then quietly sneak out to gather information.

"Sister Xue, let’s return and nap for one or two hours, then we’ll pull an all-nighter," Luo Yang suggested.

"No! I can’t waste even a single minute!" she retorted.

Her desperation to save her sisters was understandable.

But certain things couldn’t be changed simply through human will.

Rescuing people as quickly as possible was, of course, good.

But rushing things didn’t necessarily guarantee success.

"Sister Xue, let’s go back. Partly to take a quick nap but also to properly plan our next steps. That way, we’ll be more organized. Thinking here, in such a noisy environment, I can’t even focus," Luo Yang said, looking around.

All around them, the streets were teeming with people, bustling and lively, laughter echoing nonstop.

But for Gu Xue, at this moment, other people’s laughter was unbearable.

The more she heard it, the deeper her despair grew.

After all, her two beloved sisters were in mortal danger, and any misstep could mean losing them.

For her, the cost was too great to bear, even in eighteen more years.

Luo Yang wanted to get her into a quieter environment to calm her down.
