At this moment, he was thinking about how Hailan could save her. Once Hailan could save her, she would be fine.

“I do not want to kill you, but…” An Xunuo coughed and blood poured out even more quickly. “Forget it. Since you are of the opinion I want you dead, everything else does not matter.”

She was about to die.

But, she had no regrets. That was very good too.

“Ye Ningyuan, could you hold me more tightly? I’m feeling very cold,” Xunuo softly said.

“Don’t die…” All his calm and rational side went out of the window as he thought about how he could keep her life. He carried her even more tightly and said, “Just hang on for a while more, okay? Once Hailan comes, all is good.”

“We knew each other’s aims right from the very beginning, no?” An Xunuo smiled bitterly. “Why did you come when you clearly knew you would end up dead?”

‘Ye Ningyuan, can I assume that you kind of like me?’

A white figure appeared in the stone chamber.

Ye Ningyuan could not answer An Xunuo in time as he held Hailan and said, “Hailan, quickly save her, quickly save her…”

“Ye Ningyuan…” Xunuo grabbed his sleeve even more tightly with her remaining strength. “Answer me!”

“I’ve already lost Nuo Nuo, and I do not want to lose you anymore. Even if you’re sending me into a trap, I’m more than willing to leap into it.” Ye Ningyuan cupped her hand with his bloodied hands. “Xunuo, as long as I am alive, you are always welcome to take my life anytime.”

He suddenly leaned in and planted his lips on hers and kissed her hard with urgency and despondence, along with a deep desire to hold her.

“Xunuo, I’m very sorry that I’ve hurt you before. Give me a chance and I will make it all up to you.”

Xunuo was emotionally unstable and about to say something when she coughed out blood in agitation. Ye Ningyuan held her cold hands with a look that bordered on madness.

“Elder brother, don’t worry! She will be fine!” Ye Hailan knelt down and comforted the utterly distraught Ye Ningyuan.

“Elder brother, is she very important to you?”

Ye Ningyuan nodded unhesitatingly. As Ye Hailan smiled and focused, a white lotus appeared on her hands and she gently ran it across Xunuo’s chest. In that moment, the bullet was removed and her wound was healed.

While An Xunuo’s wounds were healed, she would not be regaining her senses anytime soon. Ye Ningyuan heaved a sigh of relief, and he was thankful he had yet to lose her. Thankfully, they had so much more time to figure out each other’s feelings for her. He had time to figure out who she was and what her agenda was. Just as he turned his head and wanted to call Hailan to leave with them, he noticed that Hailan looked pale. “Hailan, what’s happened? Are you uncomfortable? I’m sorry that your elder brother didn’t notice it earlier. How are you? Are you okay?” Ye Ningyuan was shocked.

“I’m fine.” She looked at the stone door with a sharp gaze. “Elder brother, I’ll cover you all while you leave first.”

“Hailan, don’t overextend yourself. Elder brother will take care of the rest,” Ye Ningyuan solemnly replied as he looked on with a stern gaze.

“I’m not overextending myself, so no worries,” Ye Hailan said before uttering a string of incantations. She was bathed in white light and became a huge white lotus that enveloped Ye Ningyuan and An Xunuo.

Ye Hailan had an extremely furious gaze as she pointed at the stone door with her index finger. The stone door immediately shattered and rocks flew. The men outside who were planning to detonate the stone door with explosives were unable to avoid the stones and groaned in pain. Everybody was shocked when they saw a stalk of white lotus before them. It emanated a bright light, effectively blinding them. They all backed away.

While they could not see who was inside, Ye Hailan could see who was outside. Ye Hailan used her remaining spiritual force to create a white lotus dimensional space that no mortal men could enter.

Ye Ningyuan carried Xunuo and followed her outward.

“Fire! Hurry!” Realizing something, Morales bellowed and ordered his men to fire. Ye Hailan broke into a cold smile and waved her hands. The dimensional space turned into rays of light. The three of them instantly vanished from the underground city and reappeared on the surface.

As the white lotus disappeared, the three of them appeared in the parking lot. Ye Hailan opened the car door and gently said, “Elder brother, leave with her first.”

“Let’s leave together.”

“You know that I’ll be fine.” Ye Hailan smiled cheerfully albeit many pursued them from afar.

Ye Ningyuan gritted his teeth. He knew that Ye Hailan could freely travel around the world in seconds and nobody could harm her. “Please return to my side once you’re done.”

“Okay!” Ye Hailan replied.

As he carried Xunuo into the car and drove away, he saw Hailan’s petite figure through the rearview mirror. He squinted and felt a slight uneasiness that he could not quite describe.

It was as though this was the last time he would see Hailan, and this fear arose for no reason.

Just after he shortly drove off, there was a sudden smoke and fire in the background. It was as though the earth shook and gave way. The shocking shaking of the earth was accompanied by houses falling and dust being kicked up. Ye Ningyuan slightly squinted to look afar. He suddenly floored the brakes, got out of the car, and saw the smoke in the distance. “Hailan, where are you?”

Ye Hailan had taught him and the Ye family how to communicate with her. Third Young Master Ye and Ye Ningyuan were especially able to quickly contact Hailan. When they were in danger, Ye Hailan would be able to extricate them as quickly as possible.

This time, however he called out for Ye Hailan, she simply did not respond.

Ye Ningyuan had a bad premonition. An Xunuo was jolted by the rumbling of the earth, and she opened her eyes to realize that her chest wound had completely healed. While she was unable to exert strength, she was extraordinarily bewildered. How did that happen?

A huge explosion followed. An Xunuo looked back in shock to see flames bursting from the ground. She clearly saw the building collapse. It was as though an earthquake took out the Sophie Vasi. Ye Ningyuan’s face turned pale and his cell phone suddenly rang. He saw Third Young Master Ye’s call and immediately picked it up. “Ning Ning, is Hailan with you?”

“Daddy, I… She was just with me.”

“That’s weird. Whenever Hailan left, it was just her spirit that left. Why did her body follow her this time?” Third Young Master Ye sounded a little worried. Ye Ningyuan felt his ears ring.

“Daddy, I cannot contact Hailan.”

“What?”

Cheng Anya took over the call. “Ning Ning, do not worry about Hailan. Take care of yourself first.”

…

Ye Ningyuan ended the call and found An Xunuo standing next to the car, looking at him quietly. Ye Ningyuan did not explain to her how her wounds recovered…

“Let’s go,” Ye Ningyuan said.

An Xunuo returned to the car in a daze. She remembered Ye Hailan arriving, and then a white light flashed before she became unconscious. “Where’s your younger sister?”
