“You’re her cousin? You’re quite handsome! Both of them have just reached an agreement.
“Since they’re both first-time offenders, we’ll just give them a verbal lecture this time, so let’s forget about it for now.
“You can sign the papers and take her away.
“However, if there’s a next time, she’ll definitely go to jail.
“In addition, there have been a few more cases of disappearances in Zhong city these few days. It’s best for you people not to go to those bars or KTV places. It’s better to stay at home obediently.”
“Thank you.”
Ye Xiao thanked them and then signed the papers to take everyone away.
After leaving the gate of the garrison, everyone apologized,
“Ye Xiao, I’m sorry. They said that they had to have the person closest to them come and collect them, so we can only let Yang Xi say that you’re her cousin. I’m very sorry.”
Ye Xiao rubbed the space between his brows.
“Alright, this matter has passed just like that. Fortunately, it didn’t blow up. If this matter were to really be exposed, there might be big trouble during this training session.”
Everyone nodded, but there was still some shame on their faces.
“Ye Xiao, why don’t we treat you to a meal?”
Ye Xiao shook his head.
“There’s no need for a meal. All of you have quite a number of injuries on your bodies. It’s better to go to the hospital first to treat your injuries. There will be plenty of opportunities to have a meal in the future.”
Everyone’s faces were all bruised and swollen, and they were limping as they walked. It was indeed a little awkward on the streets.
“That’s fine too. We’ll go to the hospital first and talk about it later.”
Everyone hurriedly took a taxi and rushed to the hospital.
Yang Xi did not go. Ye Xiao noticed that the injuries on her body had begun to heal slowly.
Although the healing speed was very slow, it was still much better than the others.
“Director, I’m sorry. I’ve embarrassed you.”
Her eyes were slightly red. Ye Xiao raised his hand and used a healing spell to heal her.
“It’s not a big deal. Just don’t be so reckless in the future.”
“Director, you didn’t even ask. What did we fight over?”
Ye Xiao smiled slightly.
“No matter what it was, it’s all in the past. And you definitely have your reasons. I know you’re not bad people. That’s enough.”
“Director.”
Yang Xi wiped her tears.
“You’re really too gentle.”
After a pause, she spoke again,
“Actually, today, it had nothing to do with the other colleagues. They also wanted to help me. Please Don’t blame them. I met an old comrade and was ridiculed by her. Originally, I didn’t want to cause trouble, but the other colleagues couldn’t stand it anymore, so they helped me.
“And so, we got into a fight
“You don’t have to explain this to me
“No, I have to explain.”
Yang Xi bit her lips stubbornly as if she felt uncomfortable if she did not say it out loud.
“Actually, I didn’t leave the army normally. I was sent down here, and I was expelled from the space battlefield. Because I broke the rules, I ate the star core of the star beast on the battlefield without permission.”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her tears fell.
“That time, my comrades and I were surrounded by the star beast. In order to break out of the encirclement, I had no choice but to eat the star core to increase my strength.
“But even in the end, I still couldn’t save my comrades. Some of them were killed by the star beast, and some were taken away by the star beast.
“The comrade I met today was actually one who was taken away by the star beast, but luckily escaped later.
“The reason why she ridiculed me today was that she felt that I was the only one who had survived.
“She had said a lot of unpleasant words, and everyone really couldn’t help it, so… That’s why…”
There was no need for her to continue what happened after that. Ye Xiao had already guessed the plot.
He patted Yang Xi’s little head.
“Alright, stop crying. It’s not a big deal. Crying on the street and letting others see it. Those who don’t know might think that I’ve done something to you.”
“Supervisor, do you think that I’m useless? Useless?”
Ye Xiao shook his head.
“To be able to do such a dangerous thing for your comrades in such a critical moment, you’re already very good. It’s just that the overall situation is uncertain. You don’t have to blame yourself too much. Just do your best.”
“Supervisor, sob, sob, sob…”
Yang Xi threw herself into Ye Xiao’s arms and cried loudly as if she wanted to vent all her grievances.
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and was a little displeased. He did not really like a random member of the opposite sex being so close to him. However, seeing that she was so sad, forget it. Let her cry a little.
After crying for about three minutes, Yang Xi seemed to have vented enough and came out of Ye Xiao’s arms.
After that, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
“I’m sorry, Supervisor. I got your clothes wet.”
Ye Xiao was a little speechless. It did not matter if the clothes were wet, as long as the pants were not wet. Otherwise, walking on the street would be really awkward.
Of course, he was only ridiculing. If they were really wet, there would not be much of a problem. That was because martial artists above the grandmaster rank could release their own spiritual energy and dry their clothes.
“If there is nothing else, we can go back to the hotel, right?”
Yang Xi nodded.
Ye Xiao walked beside her and could not help but ask in puzzlement,
“Speaking of which, since that comrade of yours escaped from the mouth of the star beasts, it shouldn’t be considered a violation, right? Why didn’t she continue to stay on the starry battlefield? Instead, she returned to the ground just like you?”
Yang Xi was also a little puzzled.
“I’m also very puzzled. At that time, I clearly saw her being captured by so many star beasts. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t have escaped at all! Why did she escape again?
“Her explanation was that because she had suffered great injuries when she escaped, she could not continue to join the army and fight against the star beasts.
“But when I saw her skills just now, she was clearly very agile and did not have any problems.
“I can’t tell either.”
Ye Xiao shook his head slightly. Although he had a vague feeling that something was not right, he had not seen her either, so he could not tell the exact situation.
…
On the other side, in a private underground garage in Zhong city, there were a few human warriors kneeling.
In front of them was a man with snake scales on his face. That was a star beast grandmaster.
His expression was gloomy as he swept his gaze over the few of them. His gaze revealed a hint of coldness.
“You bunch of idiots, do you know that just because of your foolish actions today, you nearly exposed our bar.
“Are you trying to sabotage us on purpose?
“I’m warning you, you are no longer normal humans.
“Tiger demons, this is your true identity now.
“You have already stood on the opposite side of humans. Don’t think that they can still treat you as humans.
“Otherwise, you will only be seeking your own destruction.”
Everyone lowered their heads. Although their eyes were cold, no one dared to resist.
“I’m sorry, Lord Black Snake. We were wrong.”
“Hmph! On account of the fact that you usually do your best, I won’t hold it against you this time. However, if there’s a next time, don’t blame us for being rude to you. When the time comes, I don’t mind directly treating you as tributes and giving you to Lord Shenzong.
“Especially Song Xiaoyan. If you dare to cause trouble again, I’ll definitely eat you first.”
“Yes! This subordinate understands.”
“Before tomorrow evening, you need to capture another 100 humans and offer them to the lord of the divine sect.”
Everyone’s expressions changed.
“Another 100 humans? Didn’t we just offer 60 humans two days ago? Why do you want them again? And this time, it’s 100 humans?”
“Nonsense! A mere 60 humans, is that a lot? 100 humans, is that a lot?
It was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
“I’m warning you, you’d better listen to me. If you make him unhappy and he personally comes out to destroy the Zhong city, then not 100 people will die, but 1 million, 10 million.., or even 100 million!”
Black Snake snorted coldly, turned into a streak of black light, and quietly left the underground garage. Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief.
“Phew!”
Song Xiaoyan stood up. She was wearing a professional OL suit, a pair of long legs, and a pair of black stockings. She looked extremely beautiful as a businesswoman.
“I’m sorry, everyone. This time, it’s all because of my matter that I dragged you all into this.”
Everyone patted her shoulder and comforted her,
“Xiaoyan, don’t say that. We’re all together. Naturally, we will rise together and fall together.”
Song Xiaoyan nodded.
“For so many years, the star beasts have captured many humans and turned us into tiger demons, infiltrating the human world. Their goal is to completely destroy the human race and annex the human race.
“Even though we’ve become tiger demons, we’re still humans. We absolutely can not watch them persecute the human race and persecute our families, relatives, and friends.
“This time, the reason why I took the risk and had a conflict with my old comrade Yang Xi was to prevent her from recognizing us and getting too close to us, becoming the star beast’s target.
“Although it hurts, I hope that everyone can understand.”
Everyone nodded.
“Don’t worry. We all know that our hearts are in the Beast Camp and the human race!”
“However, what about the 100 humans that the Black Snake leader wants?
“Are we going to capture another 100 humans?”
“There’s nothing we can do about it because we’ve already become the tiger demons and our spiritual energy was controlled. We can’t reveal our information to anyone in any way, and we can’t even commit suicide!
“Otherwise, I’d rather commit suicide than help the star beast harm others.”
“D*mn it. During the day, we can still slightly suppress our souls, but at night, I’m afraid we won’t be able to suppress them.”
Everyone fell into a deep dilemma.
…
On the other side, Ye Xiao returned to the hotel and did not continue to go to the library.
When he arrived, it was already afternoon. It was already almost night, and the library was about to close.
Moreover, they still had to study tomorrow, so they had to take a look at the precautions that the curator had sent them in the mailbox.
After Ye Xiao had done all that, the energy-observing technique that had been recorded in the Golden Book had also been cultivated to perfection.. Ye Xiao began to experiment with his first eye technique.
