Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"roar--!"

After roaring, the giant ape finally broke free from the clutches of the last scorpion monster.

It ignored the two blonde female companions that their owner had pushed out as shields.

Those giant, scarlet eyes were fixed on the limp Carden on the ground, and the massive body charged straight at him.

The wind howled as the fist struck, and the aura of death swept over us.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Carden was terrified, but there was nothing he could do.

However, just before the fist was about to smash his skull, the giant ape's movements suddenly froze.

The enormous fist stopped less than a centimeter from Carden's nose, the force of the blow making his blond hair fly wildly.

As soon as Kaden saw his great-grandmother, a warm current flowed down his thighs, and a dark wet patch quickly spread across his crotch.

He collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.

"Ugh... Ugh..." The emptiness in the giant ape's crimson eyes was rapidly fading.

The illusion has been dispelled.

Then, it suddenly turned its head and rushed straight towards a specific direction in the crowd.

This was the exact location where Xu Huanhuan and Xia Ming were.

It could sense that the strange power that had just dazed it was coming from that direction!

As Kaden saw the giant ape moving away from him, the overwhelming joy of surviving the ordeal instantly overwhelmed his remaining rationality.

He struggled to his feet and suddenly burst into maniacal laughter:

"Haha! Hahahaha!"

"I knew it! I really am God's most beloved child!"

"Everything that just happened was merely a test from God! I passed it! I am the chosen one!"

His maniacal laughter sounded particularly jarring amidst the chaos.

In a corner of the crowd, Xu Huanhuan held her forehead and swayed slightly.

"Damn it! It was so close!"

Forcibly controlling a demon at the peak of the third realm was extremely taxing on her mental energy.

At that moment, she felt as if countless needles were pricking her head, and her vision blurred.

She leaned to the side and rested on Xia Ming's shoulder.

Xia Ming immediately noticed her unusual behavior and quickly supported her: "Boss Xu, Boss Xu! What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine..." Xu Huanhuan said weakly, "I just ran out of mental energy, I just need to rest for a bit."

Anyone who saw her like this would feel sorry for her.

Just then, the surrounding students burst into terrified screams.

"Oh no! That monster is charging at us!"

"What happened? Wasn't it just focusing on attacking that foreigner?"

"Who knows what's wrong with this beast! Never mind that, run!"

The vast majority of those present were freshmen from Chengwu University.

They were completely powerless against a peak-level demonic creature of the third realm that had gone completely mad.

As for the senior students in their second and third years, they are basically all out on missions or training on the front lines, so it is unrealistic to expect them to come to the rescue.

Now, the only way to stop this monster is probably through the school teachers.

"Oh no! It's heading straight this way!"

Xia Ming, supporting the swaying Xu Huanhuan, anxiously called out, "Boss Xu, let's go!"

Xu Huanhuan suddenly laughed:

"Xia Ming, don't worry!"

"Someone will come to rescue us! Judging by the time, he should be here soon..."

That's right, Xu Huanhuan did all this for two purposes.

The first thing is to teach that foul-mouthed guy a lesson.

And the other one...

Of course, it's about finding a plausible excuse to create an opportunity for close contact with Yang Xian!

First, use illusion magic to control the monster, creating the illusion that the monster has gone out of control, and incidentally scare that Kaden half to death.

Once the illusion ends, the monster that was tricked will be furious and will search for the "culprit" who attacked it.

Then all she had to do was wait here for Yang Xian to appear.

From the moment she began casting the illusion to the moment it went out of control, the entire process took enough time for Yang Xian to arrive here!

Plans are in place!

"Lord Caden...should we send scorpions to stop it?" a blonde companion asked somewhat uneasily.

"Stop them? Why should we stop them?" Carden glared venomously at the students who were scattering in all directions.

"Weren't those Chinese martial artists just watching the show with great enjoyment? Weren't they unwilling to help?"

"Now, let them taste what it's like to be hunted by monsters!"

"But...but what if someone dies..." another female companion hesitated before speaking, "...it might be difficult to explain to Archbishop Lemon..."

"They deserved it!" Carden waved his hand dismissively.

"A bunch of good-looking but useless trash, so what if they're dead!"

"Besides, so what if someone does die? Uncle Lemon will take care of all that trouble for me!"

"Haven't things always been this way?"

He straightened his disheveled clothes, reverted to his haughty demeanor, and prepared to enjoy the bloody scene to come.

Next, we'll just have to wait and see these foolish martial artists pay the price!

On the other side...

As the giant ape drew closer, Xia Ming gritted his teeth and shoved Xu Huanhuan behind him.

"Boss Xu, you go quickly! I'll hold it off!"

She held her spear horizontally in front of her, adopting a stance of certain death.

A hint of regret and resentment flashed in his amber eyes.

I never imagined I'd die here before I even finished my date with Yang Xian.

It was so hard, so incredibly hard, to finally fall for a boy...

I am not reconciled!

However, in the next instant, Xia Ming's pupils suddenly contracted.

There was a soft "plop" sound.

The menacing giant ape abruptly stopped running.

A huge ape head shot into the sky without warning, bringing with it a spray of scalding hot blood.

The enormous headless body staggered forward a few steps due to inertia before finally crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Are you alright?" Yang Xian appeared beside them at some point and asked softly.

Xia Ming stared blankly at the man who had suddenly appeared before him, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

This is the second time he has saved himself.

The first time was in area A.

At that moment, Yang Xian held her and used the last bit of his true energy to barely escape the demon's self-destruction.

From then on, this man quietly took up residence in her heart.

And now... he has once again descended from the sky at his most desperate moment.

With effortless ease, she slew the powerful enemy who had left her feeling powerless.

Still so...handsome.

Xia Ming felt his cheeks burning, lowered his head, and whispered, "No, I didn't..."

Before she could finish speaking, a sweet, delicate voice rang out first.

"Yang Xian~"

"That really scared me! I was so terrified!"

As she spoke, Xu Huanhuan's body went limp, and she fell into Yang Xian's arms.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her face in his chest, and deliberately rubbed against him.

"Thanks to your timely rescue, otherwise that person would have lost their life here."

She looked up, her large, watery eyes blinking slightly. "To repay your life-saving grace, how about I simply offer myself to you?"

Xia Ming: ? ? ?

She stood there, completely frozen in place.

broken!

My lines got stolen!
