The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

Under the sycamore tree.

Jiang Liyu looked at the scene on the sky.

When the golden blade light shone again, a flicker of emotion finally appeared in her usually calm eyes.

But that slight change vanished in an instant.

"Waaaaah..."

"Little fish, come here, let me give you a hug!"

Su Huaying cried with tears streaming down her face and hugged Jiang Liyu tightly.

She gently patted Jiang Liyu on the back a few times, expecting to touch a trembling body.

But Jiang Liyu sat there quietly.

There were no tears, and no sadness could be seen on her face.

Su Huaying sniffed and looked up in confusion.

"Little Fish, aren't you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Liyu shook her head.

"It's been too long, I won't be sad for her anymore."

"what?"

"Has it been too long?"

Su Huaying was stunned for a moment.

Looking at Jiang Liyu's calm expression, and remembering her cultivation level at the Dao Integration Realm, she slowly tightened her arms around her.

"Little Fish, you..."

"How long have you been in our era?"

Jiang Liyu looked at the darkening sky.

"Two thousand years."

"Holy shit!!!"

"Um."

Jiang Liyu responded lightly, then lowered her eyes and stopped talking about the topic.

Su Huaying looked at her for a moment, and seeing that she was clearly unwilling to say more, she could only turn her gaze back to the sky.

Under the sycamore tree, the crowd gradually quieted down.

The projector lights up again.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The figure in black, carrying Jiang Liyu, swept through the dense branches.

Only when he could no longer hear the hissing of black ants behind him did Ye Chen step on a horizontal branch and land on the ground with her in his arms.

He didn't rush forward, but first glanced around.

Only after confirming that no new monsters were chasing after him did Ye Chen lower his head.

"Can you still walk?"

Jiang Liyu did not answer.

Her face was pale, her clothes were covered in mud and blood, and her fingers were still clutching his collar tightly.

Ye Chen glanced at her but didn't press the matter further.

He reached out and took out a high-grade recovery potion, used his thumb to pry open the stopper, and brought it to her lips.

"drink."

Jiang Liyu's gaze slowly shifted to the medicine.

Why?

Those eyes lost their usual calmness, leaving only a large blank space inside.

Why?

Ye Chen paused for a moment.

He could tell that the girl wasn't asking about medicine.

It's not about why he saved himself.

It seems there was a hidden reason why she was in such a predicament.

But Ye Chen did not press the matter further.

He simply held the medicine bottle to her lips once more, his voice remaining as steady as ever.

"Take your medicine first."

"..."

"Your health is too low right now. The recovery speed of one potion is not enough to stop the continuous bleeding from the wound."

Jiang Liyu looked at the face so close to hers.

The man in front of her neither urged her nor moved the medicine bottle.

The medicine was gently swirled inside the transparent bottle.

A few seconds later, Jiang Liyu opened her mouth.

Ye Chen controlled the medicine bottle, pouring in only a small amount.

Only after she swallowed did he press the bottle opening down again.

The second bite.

The third bite.

As the bitter medicine slid down her throat, Jiang Liyu's tears suddenly fell.

Tears streamed down his pale cheeks, soaking the black fabric of Ye Chen's shirt.

Ye Chen saw it, but didn't ask.

He would wait for her to swallow one bite before feeding her another.

He didn't take the empty bottle back until the entire bottle of medicine was gone.

【HP: 27%】

【HP: 35%】

【HP: 44%】

Both bottles of advanced recovery potion are effective simultaneously.

The bleeding mark that had been flashing above Jiang Liyu's head finally disappeared, and the wounds on her arms and waist began to close up.

After confirming that she was not in immediate danger, Ye Chen looked up and gazed beyond the woods.

At the edge of the woods, a small town sits nestled in the valley.

The city wall was not high, and it was built of grayish-white stones. Several bronze lamps hung on the city gate, their lights swaying gently in the night breeze.

Among those entering and exiting the gate were elves carrying longbows, half-demons with animal ears, and half-demons draped in black robes and dragging tails.

Several players had just returned from outside, their equipment still stained with monster blood.

A wooden sign stands on either side of the city gate.

[First Circle Neutral Safe Zone]

Malicious attacks are prohibited within the safe zone.

Players who die cannot be resurrected; please cherish your life.

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and looked down at Jiang Liyu in his arms.

"I'll take you to a safe area to rest."

Jiang Liyu did not speak.

Ye Chen continued:

"There are supplies there, and also places where wounds can be treated."

She still did not respond.

The next moment, Jiang Liyu buried her face in Ye Chen's chest, and tightened her grip on his clothes.

His breathing was intermittent, and warm tears seeped through the fabric and fell onto Ye Chen's chest.

Ye Chen paused for a moment.

He didn't put her down, nor did he ask her if she could leave.

He simply adjusted his holding position to make Jiang Liyu's head rest more steadily, and then carried her towards the safe zone.

The live stream followed the two figures as they walked through the woods.

Not long after,

Ye Chen carried Jiang Liyu into the town.

The streets inside the city were much more bustling than those outside the city walls.

Colorful banners hung on both sides of the stone-paved road, and vendors called out in a semi-demon language.

The aroma of roasted meat mingled with the scent of herbs, and players were squatting on the street counting the materials they had just obtained.

A burly female vendor with ram's horns stood guard behind the fruit stall.

On the stall were fist-sized golden fruits with sun-like patterns on their skin, and steam rising from the cut flesh.

The proprietress of the ram's horn shop saw Ye Chen at a glance and immediately raised her voice.

"Hey handsome, want to buy a few sunflower fruits?"

"Freshly picked, good for replenishing energy, five Creation Coins per pound!"

She glanced at Jiang Liyu in Ye Chen's arms, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Is your girlfriend hurt?"

"Sun fruit replenishes qi and blood, and wounds heal faster after eating it!"

"Special offer today! Only five Creation Coins per pound!"

Ye Chen paused briefly.

Jiang Liyu's grip on his collar tightened slightly.

Ye Chen glanced down at her, then looked at the sun fruit on the stall.

"No need, thank you."

He nodded to the proprietress of the ram's horn shop and then continued forward.

The stall owner, supporting herself on her stall, watched the two walk deeper into the street.

"Tsk."

"He's really handsome."

"He just doesn't like to talk."
