Chapter 231: Kill A God For You

The abandoned Su Yuke and Twelfth Lady, who had voluntarily avoided the situation, both found their minds buzzing at that moment.

Su Yuke hadn’t been able to understand Li Xiaofei\'s decision at first. On such a critical night, when life and death hung in the balance, he had suddenly decided to drop everything and rush through the wind and snow to meet a little lover. It seemed no different from losing his mind.

But when she saw the young man, who had braved the dust and cold, who had remained composed even when pursued by assassins, suddenly lose all control and burst into a killing rage, she suddenly understood something.

It turned out that Li Xiaofei hadn’t been acting on a whimsical impulse or lost his mind. Rather, he had somehow sensed that the girl in his heart was in danger. That was why he had come, disregarding everything else. Perhaps, this was love.

At that very moment, the death warrior, Twelfth Lady, felt the hair on her entire body stand on end. She had witnessed countless scenes of murder. She had seen endless carnage and bloodshed. She had encountered numerous masters and powerful individuals, some of whom possessed strength far beyond hers. But she had never seen someone kill their opponent by crushing their head with sheer strength.

It was even more alarming, since the one whose head had been crushed, Gu Langtian, was by no means an unknown figure. Setting aside his arrogant and lawless behavior, Gu Langtian was a genius of the Gu family, a branch of the Saint lineage. He had already achieved the pinnacle of the Acupoint Opening Realm, with 120 fully opened acupoints before he even turned twenty. It was rumored that his strength had reached the eighth stage of the Meridian Expanding Realm.

This extraordinary level of cultivation was one of the reasons why Gu Langtian never bothered to bring bodyguards with him. There were only a few individuals in Liuhe Base City who could pose a threat to him, and they would never act against him. Still, it seemed there were always surprises in the world.

A provoked confrontation had resulted in this genius of the Gu family becoming a headless corpse in a foreign land in an unbelievable manner. He had died at the hands of a mere high school student. This was a true disaster in the making.

Twelfth Lady could already imagine the Gu family\'s reaction when they heard the news. She could only hope that this young man had an incredibly powerful background as well. Otherwise, the Gu family would never let him go.

"Don\'t look," said the young police officer who suddenly stepped in front of Twelfth Lady.

"Hmm?"

Only then did Twelfth Lady begin to carefully examine Su Yuke.

A weakling at the Limit Breaking Realm, yet Li Xiaofei had brought her along, and she’s covered in blood... Could there be some story between the two of them as well?

The death warrior\'s curiosity suddenly surged.

At that moment, inside the shop, Li Xiaofei began to revert from his transformed state. The crimson mist of blood and energy surrounding his body dissipated. Since he knew what state his clothes would be in, he quickly wrapped himself in a cloak.

"Your complexion doesn\'t look too good." He looked at Bai Zi, feigning innocence, and said, "I warned you, so you can\'t blame me."

Bai Zi was speechless. Li Xiaofei then approached Tan Qingying.

"I\'m sorry, I came too late." He said, his face filled with guilt.

A fierce emotion surged within the young lady\'s heart.

"You\'ve caused trouble," she murmured, biting her lip. "Do you know who you\'ve killed?"

"I don\'t know, and I don\'t need to know," Li Xiaofei replied firmly. "It doesn\'t matter who he was, even if he were a god from the heavens. If he dared to threaten you, I would kill him for you."

Kill a god for you!

Tan Qingying let out a soft moan, unable to control herself any longer, and threw herself into Li Xiaofei\'s arms. She wrapped her arms around Li Xiaofei\'s neck, and kissed the young man.

This scene made Bai Zi, standing nearby, sigh helplessly. He knew then that Tan Qingying had fallen for Li Xiaofei. After all, what girl could resist such a powerful declaration of love?

The scene that had just unfolded would stay forever in Tan Qingying\'s memory, like the most captivating old movie. No one would ever be able to break into her heart again. His mission for the family in Liuhe Base City was destined to fail.

But then again, it wasn’t so bad. Witnessing such events firsthand was far more interesting than just reading about them in books. It could be considered one of the rewards of coming to Liuhe Base City.

Now, all that remained was to offer a blessing. He hoped that this young couple, with their true love, could overcome any obstacle, no matter how insurmountable it seemed. He hoped their love would be strong enough to withstand the impending storm.

Gu Langtian\'s death, and the Saint family’s strict requirements for selecting a suitor for their bloodline... The two faced some formidable challenges.

Outside the shop, the two women, who had been rather standoffish moments ago, suddenly embraced each other excitedly, like shippers who had just seen their favorite couple get together. Their eyes sparkled with pink bubbles of joy.

"They kissed! They kissed!"

"Yay!"

This was what made life in this world truly interesting, wasn\'t it? All that fighting and killing—it was just too awful.

"What... are you doing?"

Bai Zi had quietly slipped outside, only to see the two women hugging at the doorway. The death warrior and the young police officer instantly separated.

"You saw wrong."

"Mind your own business."

They both spoke almost simultaneously.

Bai Zi was speechless.

Is there no justice left in the world?

He had been shunned inside like an unwelcome third wheel, which is why he had slunk out. But he wasn’t welcome outside either?

What did I ever do to deserve this?

It seems like he was destined to be the only one hurting in this world. Oh? You say Gu Langtian had it worse? Well then, this isn’t so bad.

Bai Zi couldn’t help himself as he stood outside. He peeked through the grease-streaked glass window. The disheveled little shop, bathed in dim yellow light, with a young couple locked in a passionate embrace painted a picturesque scene.

Even the wind and snow of the late night seemed to calm down in that moment.

Maybe I should write a novel about everything I saw today.

His hands itched with the thought. After reading so many books, it was hard to resist the urge to try writing one himself.

Just then, the two inside the shop finally separated.

"I thought you wouldn’t come tonight."

"As long as you’re here and as long as you ask, I would come even if I had to cross mountains and rivers."

"What happened to you? Why are you covered in blood?"

"Don’t even ask. I ran into an unlucky girl being chased around, and I got dragged into it... Oh, I almost forgot the main thing. Can you reach Uncle Tan right now? There’s something important, and we need to meet with him as soon as possible."

"What is it?" Tan Qingying asked, curiosity lighting up her face.

Li Xiaofei leaned close to her ear and whispered the situation. When she heard that Li Xiaofei had arrived so late because of something related to her father, and had gotten caught up in a deadly chase, the young lady\'s heart swelled with even more emotion.

She quickly took out her light core and tried to call her father. But all she got was a busy tone; the call couldn’t go through.

"Even Uncle Tan\'s private line is turned off. He’s probably still with the investigation team," she said, feeling helpless.

A faint sense of unease crept into Li Xiaofei\'s heart. Just then—

BOOM!

A sudden tremor came from outside the small shop as an indescribably terrifying force surged towards them.
