I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

"When I first met you, I thought you were just a clever person who liked to take shortcuts..."

"But when I saw you for the second time, you had already exceeded my expectations..."

"And now, although I haven't seen you, I can feel that you and I are worlds apart..."

“Perhaps we… will never see each other again?” On the rooftop platform of the Flower Pavilion, Hua Feiying gazed at the night sky and sighed.

But as soon as she finished talking to herself, something she never expected happened right before her eyes.

Inside a spacious woman's boudoir.

Huang Quan, who had been in a coma for nearly three days, was lying quietly on a cotton bed, looking quite comfortable.

In addition, there was a woman beside his bed, a beautiful woman dressed in a red gauze dress.

Huang Quan recognized this woman; she was Shi Xiang, the one he had fought when he first arrived in the North District.

Three days ago, after Jueyi and the others discovered that Huang Quan was seriously injured, they did not hesitate to work together to treat him.

After completing the basic treatment, they did not choose to send Huang Quan back to the Imperial Demon Realm, but instead chose to go to the Desolate Region.

The reason is simple: the Demon Realm is farther away, while the Desolate Realm is closer.

Furthermore, since Huang Quan had mentioned the Flower Pavilion in the North District and said that most of the people in the Flower Pavilion could be trusted, they decided to place Huang Quan in the Flower Pavilion to recuperate after consideration.

On that day, Hua Feiying was naturally very surprised to see Huang Quan being brought to her, but after seeing Huang Quan's seriously injured state, she immediately reacted and carefully moved Huang Quan into her boudoir.

She had originally intended to take care of Huang Quan herself these past few days, but since the North District couldn't be without her, she had no choice but to entrust this task to Shi Xiang, whom she trusted most.

Shi Xiang had received Huang Quan's kindness and no longer needed to return to her former little girl form. Therefore, she always felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Huang Quan, which was why Hua Feiying was at ease.

In reality, this caregiving job is quite simple; apart from wiping sweat and changing clothes, there's basically nothing special to do.

Although Huang Quan's injuries were severe, after receiving treatment from Jue Yi and others, he had already passed the critical period. In addition, the evil energy in his body would actively help him recover, so in the past three days, his injuries had been almost completely healed.

Perhaps that's why, on this very day, while still slightly dazed, he finally opened his eyes.

There was no suspense; the first person he saw was Shi Xiang, who was wiping his body.

For a moment, Huang Quan was stunned. Because his body was not yet fully mobile, Shi Xiang, who had just finished wiping Huang Quan's legs, did not notice that Huang Quan had woken up.

But in the next instant, a storm raged within Huang Quan's heart. His eyes widened, and his mind instantly processed what had happened. His aged face, weathered by countless lifetimes, blushed unconsciously...

He wanted to get out of bed, but he couldn't move. He wanted to stop Shi Xiang with his voice, but he couldn't even speak. So he could only feel the towel in Huang Xiang's hand rubbing against his body.

Although the feeling was very comfortable and wonderful, it was still a bit awkward for Huang Quan in his current state.

Shi Xiang is a very bold and adaptable woman, so apart from being a little hesitant to help Huang Quan wipe his body at first, she is no longer surprising to anyone.

This is understandable, after all, Shi Xiang has lived for hundreds of years, and although she has seen men, she has never studied them.

That's why she wanted to do the same thing as before, and started a series of studies on Huang Quan's body. But she didn't know that Huang Quan had already woken up, so her research was really too much for Huang Quan to handle.

Fortunately, at the most crucial moment, Shi Xiang subconsciously turned her head and saw Huang Quan's open eyes. Then the whole world went silent. Huang Quan's face was still flushed. This scene was frozen in time.

However, Shi Xiang was a very strong woman. She simply smiled and covered Huang Quan with the blanket, acting as if nothing had happened, which made Huang Quan admire her a little.

"You're awake?" Shi Xiang asked calmly as she placed the cloth into the basin of water.

In order to respond to Shi Xiang, Huang Quan, who was still unable to speak, could only blink with difficulty. Although he felt that Shi Xiang's question did not mean much, he still had to give her some face!

"Then...then I'll go find someone." After saying that, Shi Xiang's body trembled slightly, then she turned around, walked out of the room, and disappeared from Huang Quan's sight. The whole process was very simple.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Huang Quan couldn't help but think as he watched Shi Xiang's figure recede into the distance. Perhaps it was because he knew that a woman who could remain calm and composed after encountering such a situation must have an incredibly strong mental fortitude.

Unfortunately, Huang Quan didn't know that Shi Xiang wasn't actually mentally strong; she was simply completely stunned for a moment, her mind and body almost frozen in place, which is why she appeared relatively calm, but in reality...

"Ah!!! It's over! It's over!! It's over!!!" In an empty corridor, Shi Xiang's face was as red as a monkey's bottom, and there seemed to be some strange steam rising from the top of her head. She held her head in her hands, and her excitement was completely evident.

"What should I do?! What should I do?! Will he tell anyone?! He shouldn't, right?! He should consider this a private matter. Ugh! It's all my fault! Why did I have to do all this research?!" Shi Xiang muttered to herself, her head against the wall, her gaze fixed downwards, looking utterly hopeless.

"Oh? Research? What did you research?"

"What else could it be? Of course, it's a man's body!" Shi Xiang replied subconsciously.

"A man's body? What have you figured out?"

"Me? Nothing else, it's just that his legs... oh?" At this moment, Shi Xiang seemed to realize something important and suddenly stopped speaking. At this moment, cold sweat poured down her beautiful face, and her gaze began to unconsciously move to the left...

Then she saw a person, a woman, a woman who was in no way inferior to her in appearance and temperament.

She is Hua Feiying, Hua Feiying who appeared beside Shi Xiang at some unknown time.

In short, there was no follow-up to this farce.

Shi Xiang wouldn't have any rift with Hua Feiying over this matter.

Soon, Jueyi and Wanfeng arrived at Huang Quan's room, and Huang Quan successfully regained the ability to speak after their second treatment.

"I see. Do you know who saved me?" Huang Quan asked weakly, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling.

"I don't know, but he should be a powerful expert at the Heavenly Monarch level," Jue Yi said.

"The Heavenly Lord?" Huang Quan murmured, pondering for a moment.

"Have you thought of anything?" Wan Feng asked.

"No, I just have a feeling that I should know this person, or that person knows me..." But as soon as he said that, Huang Quan laughed self-deprecatingly: "Heh, how embarrassing, I said something pointless."

That's indeed a pointless statement; if one of the conditions isn't met, that person has no reason to save him.

"By the way! How are things on the Huang clan's side?" Huang Quan asked, his mind racing.

“The Huang Clan hasn’t made any moves yet, but according to our scouts, they should be launching a second attack on the wasteland soon,” Wan Feng replied, his eyes flashing.

"Really? What countermeasures do we have?" Huang Quan frowned and asked again.

“We don’t know the specifics of the other side yet, so we can only come up with some temporary measures, such as strengthening the defenses of the wasteland…” Jueyi said.

"Is there any way for them to abandon the wasteland and leave the Endless Wasteland through the ice plains or other places?" Huang Quan then asked.

However, just as Huang Quan asked the question, Jue Yi suddenly said, "That's the strange thing."

"Strange?" Huang Quan asked, puzzled.

“Yes…” Jueyi explained, “Actually, in order to prevent them from leaving the Endless Wasteland by other means, the other clan leaders and I sent people to guard all possible exits in the Endless Wasteland a long time ago, but strangely, they don’t seem to care about it.”

"Don't care? You mean they only want to leave this place through the wasteland right now?" Huang Quan guessed.

“Yes!” Jue nodded.

"Something's not right here," Huang Quan murmured.

“Something is very wrong. Logically speaking, with their strength, they should be able to leave the Endless Wasteland through other entrances and exits, but they haven’t done so. Instead, they’re still entangled with us like this, which makes us wonder if they have some other purpose,” Jueyi said.

"Another purpose?" Huang Quan pondered.

“That’s right, but we’ve thought about it for a long time and still don’t know their purpose. Maybe it’s because we know too little about them!” Wan Feng interjected.

“Indeed,” Huang Quan agreed. “But in any case, we must find out the truth about this. Better safe than sorry. If they really have some plans we don’t know about, then we must take precautions in case of emergency.”

“That’s right, so I did some things before I came,” Jueyi said.

"Something?" Huang Quan asked, puzzled.

“Well, we were lucky during the last big battle with them and captured a few prisoners alive. And since Zhu Xinlan is here this time, I handed them over to her,” Jueyi replied.

"Zhu Xinlan? The patriarch of the Zhutian Clan?" Upon hearing this name, Huang Quan felt a sudden pang of sadness and complex emotions.

Because shortly after he became the leader of the alliance, he learned about the relationship between Zhu Xinlan, Zhu Yongyue, and Zhu Nu.

A once happy family of three is now reduced to just this lonely old woman. And this old woman has to hide all her emotions and help the Zhutian Clan and the people of the Zhenxuan Continent survive in this chaotic world. It seems somewhat helpless and bitter, but it is something she has no choice but to do, because no matter what, she is a member of the Zhutian Clan and a cultivator of the Zhenxuan Continent.

In addition, Huang Quan also felt a bit guilty, after all, the death of the Bamboo Girl was inextricably linked to him.

Perhaps that's why he couldn't help but think of the woman in purple, and his thoughts gradually became confused.

"If all of this is cause and effect, if all of this is to save me, then I would rather give my own life so that they can continue to live." Huang Quan had this thought in his mind.

But just as this thought arose in his mind, it seemed as if some unknown causal thread had been activated, giving him a very strange feeling.

"Huh? What's going on?" Huang Quan suddenly became suspicious.

However, his unusual behavior also caught the attention of Jueyi and Wanfeng.

"What's wrong, Alliance Leader?" Wan Feng asked out of concern.

This question brought Huang Quan back to his senses from his confusion.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past," Huang Quan said after calming himself down.

"Are you really alright?" Perhaps because Jueyi and Huangquan had a karmic connection from a past life, Jueyi still asked with some unease after Huangquan said he was fine.

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan smiled slightly and said, "It's really nothing, don't overthink it."

"Is that so?" Although Jueyi was still somewhat skeptical, he didn't dwell on the matter. After a moment, he said, "It's good that you're alright. Once the Alliance Leader's injuries have healed a bit, I'll go with him to Chief Zhu Xinlan's place to inquire about the interrogation of the slaves..."

“Okay,” Huang Quan replied.

"Furthermore... if the Alliance Leader trusts me, I'm willing to act as a messenger so that the Alliance Leader can continue to rest here properly," Jue Yi said with concern.

"Hehehe, whatever, whatever. The seniors can decide on this matter," Huang Quan said with a smile.

"Alright, then..."

However, at this moment, before Jueyi could finish speaking, a soft and delicate voice came from outside.

"No, I've already finished reviewing it."

As the voice rang out, an old woman dressed in ordinary gray cloth slowly came into view.

There was no suspense; she was none other than Zhu Xinlan, the patriarch of the Zhutian Clan.

"Zhu Xinlan?" Upon hearing Zhu Xinlan's words and seeing her arrival, Huang Quan and the others immediately showed a hint of surprise and doubt.

But everyone present was an experienced person, so they quickly realized what was going on.

"Has the trial been completed? What was the result?" Jue Yi pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhu Xinlan and asked softly.

Jueyi's question also drew Huang Quan and Wan Feng's attention to Zhu Xinlan, as if they were waiting for her answer.

"How is that possible? We didn't get anything out of them?" Jueyi said, somewhat surprised.
