Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Just This Once (Thanks to Wang Shuijun Tear and Yu Wenxin for the rewards)

The aquarium fell into a bizarre silence.

On one side, He Feng and Mr. Bai were thrown rudely next to Chen Yu by someone.

He Feng managed to curse before he coughed up blood from the rough treatment.

Mr. Bai, who was already as thin as a bamboo pole, gasped twice before regaining his senses.

"Are you guys from [Great Wall] always this violent?" Mr. Bai couldn’t get up and muttered, "I didn’t drown, but I almost died from being thrown!"

He Feng and Mr. Bai were both saved by Xiao Nan’s hand.

For them, it might have been better not to be saved. Because the rescue was quite rough.

He Feng was better off, as he was thrown down by Xiao Nan when she attacked Fire Man. It didn’t hurt too much.

It was worse for Mr. Bai, Xiao Nan was focused on saving Li Changhe and casually flung him out of the pool.

Chen Yu did not respond to the two, but looked at Xiao Nan in surprise.

It was the first time she had seen Xiao Nan’s panicked expression.

In Chen Yu’s impression, Xiao Nan had always been the kind of straight-A student, ice beauty, slightly poisonous-tongued genius girl.

She seemed completely in control all the time.

No difficulties seemed able to bring her down.

This was also one of the reasons Chen Yu targeted Xiao Nan. She was simply too dazzling. Both in reality and the [Evolution Game], she shone too brightly.

But at this moment, she was just like an ordinary girl, holding her friend tightly with a look of fear on her face. Chen Yu was surprised, but also felt a twinge of jealousy.

Or rather, sour...

She had investigated Li Changhe’s information and analyzed things like the tire killer very thoroughly. She had been doing her best to protect Xiao Nan. No wonder Xiao Nan always seemed sure of victory. She had someone taking care of all her troubles.

Chen Yu thought if she had a friend like that, she would dare to reach for the sky! Damn, it’s sour!

...

Xiao Nan rubbed her forehead like a cat and clung tightly to Li Changhe’s shoulder like a kitten biting a sweet treat. Her tears flowed down his neck.

She was genuinely scared, afraid that Li Changhe would die just like that. Afraid that someone who had always protected her would die so quietly.

After making that cheeky comment, Li Changhe didn’t have the energy to say anything else either.

If it hadn’t been for Xiao Nan using a consumable [Equipment] to help Li Changhe recover some of his wounds and physical strength and energy values, he wouldn’t have even had the strength to make a cheeky comment.

His mind was still groggy, and he mumbled "blood loss" twice before passing out.

Just as Chen Yu thought she’d have to eat sour lemon-flavored dog food while waiting for other members of [Great Wall] to come, the blood-stained pool suddenly erupted with intense heat.

Fire Man, missing his right hand, growled as he walked out of the pool. The scorching flames instantly evaporated the moisture on his body.

He stared at Xiao Nan’s figure, word by word, said, "Demon God · Bain! I didn’t expect [Great Wall] to have another [Special Ability Holder] in Yanyun!"

"He’s still alive? Is his [Sequence Gene] a cockroach?" Chen Yu sighed but wasn’t very worried. Fire Man had severely beaten her and her companions, but facing Xiao Nan, the tables would turn.

He Feng struggled to crush the glowing crystal that Xiao Nan had given him.

As pale yellow light spread over the three of them, their injuries were significantly alleviated.

"This guy almost killed me with his throw!" He Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. His injuries were the worst among the three. Large areas of burns and signs of fractures in both hands,

"If I were Fire Man, I’d have turned around and run." He Feng checked Mr. Bai’s injuries, nodded, and knocked him out with a raised hand. Chen Yu looked confused.

"Heh, don’t mind it. He’s not at the point where we can know each other’s secrets yet." He Feng smiled faintly, "If he knows the identity of a special ability holder, it would be too dangerous for Old Li. I didn’t expect Xiao Nan to be one of the holders either."

Chen Yu hesitated slightly and then smiled, "Do you know that what you just said is enough to expose all your identities?"

"Don’t joke. You must have suspected Li Changhe’s identity long ago." He Feng didn’t care, and waved his hand, "As long as you investigate him, you’ll naturally find me. Don’t think only you in the Great Wall Strategy Group are clever. I’m also a top scholar."

"However, you have to help us hide once."

"Help you guys?" Chen Yu narrowed her eyes slightly.

"The [Soul Code] should be bidirectional, right?" He Feng smiled faintly, "In our eyes, you are our close friend. In your eyes, even if the effect is not so obvious, we should be friends, right? Otherwise, why were you crying just now?"

Chen Yu rubbed her eyes, and He Feng really guessed it.

The effect of [Soul Code] was indeed bidirectional. Although not as pronounced for the user.

But when Mr. Bai, Li Changhe, and others were attacked, Chen Yu’s heart ached, and she couldn’t help but cry.

"You actually noticed that." Chen Yu said softly, "But [Great Wall] is not a dragon’s den. Joining [Great Wall] is the best choice for you guys if you haven’t done anything wrong."

"Don’t bother. Our kind of temperament, ask me to protect this person that person, it’s really killing me." He Feng grinned.

Chen Yu looked at the wounds on He Feng’s body, sighed softly, and said, "Just this once. I’ll tell my teammates that you didn’t reveal any identities."

It wasn’t clear if it was the effect of [Soul Code], but Chen Yu felt guilty toward He Feng and the others and agreed with his statement.

"But if someone else finds out, it’s not my fault. Young Taoist Green Moss has seen Li Changhe and [Uncle Eight-direction]." Chen Yu whispered.

He Feng looked at the elf Xiao Ye hiding behind Chen Yu and said, "As long as you follow her current memory, you won’t find us. Mr. Bai’s [Skill] is quite useful. There are no flaws."

"Leave the rest to Xiao Nan. She’s so concerned about Li Changhe. Did you think Li Changhe would always be in the same school and class with her every year? It’s all a scheme." He Feng struggled to get up and carried Mr. Bai.

"And hey, think about how to explain to Xiao Nan." He Feng whispered, "Although it’s for the [Task], you almost killed Li Changhe. Say nothing for the rest, Xiao Nan is particularly petty."

Seeing Xiao Nan looking back not far away, He Feng chuckled, "I’ll take Old Li away first. You, Mr. Xiao, keep going..."

Xiao Nan nodded slightly, "There’s no one in B3 corridor. Leave the rest to me." After Li Changhe passed out, she returned to her queen-like aura. It was as if the person who had just cried for Li Changhe was someone else. Her words were full of sharpness.

He Feng wasn’t surprised; he already knew what kind of person Xiao Nan was. He didn’t want to be nosy, so he carried Li Changhe and Mr. Bai, and walked toward the B3 corridor.

Fire Man, confronting Xiao Nan, twitched his face slightly.

But that was all his face did, his body dared not make any moves, as a murderous intent was gathering around him.
