Moreover, Meizhen was all alone; no one else was there.

She calls Duanmu at least a dozen times a day, but no one answers.

Ma Lingling had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Later, she pestered Meizhen, who told her that Duanmu had been taken away by a powerful enemy.

I don't know when I'll be able to come back.

She felt a wave of dizziness and would have fallen to the ground if Meizhen hadn't caught her.

When she returned, she held back her tears and didn't tell Aunt Hui about it.

But as time went by, Aunt Hui was able to guess to some extent.

Duanmu may have gotten into trouble.

Lingling couldn't eat anything every day. After finishing work, she would go back to her small room and lock herself in.

Her face has become much thinner than before.

This can't go on.

"Lingling, don't be like this. When Duanmu comes back and sees how much weight you've lost, he'll blame me." Aunt Hui touched her slightly sunken face.

Ma Lingling trembled slightly upon hearing the name, then shook her head with a smile and said, "Aunt Hui, Duanmu won't blame you."

“He used to say I was too fat and wished I would lose weight.”

Aunt Hui smiled kindly: "You still need to eat more. You're too thin and weak."

"It will fall over when the wind blows, and that will hurt."

Lingling chuckled: "With Duanmu standing in front of me, no matter what the wind is like, it can't blow me down..."

She suddenly froze, her expression becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

Tears streamed down her face as she hugged Aunt Hui and burst into tears.

"Waaaah—Duanmu Yan, where the hell have you been?"

"Come back and help me wash the dishes! You jerk!"

"You promised to take me out to play sometime..."

"If you die, I won't live either..."

Aunt Hui's tears welled up in her eyes, but she managed to hold them back.

She gently stroked Ma Lingling's head and whispered comfortingly, "Duanmu will come back, he will definitely come back."

"Come back? He's already dead!"

A burst of noisy laughter erupted at the doorway.

Lingling lifted her head from Aunt Hui's embrace and looked out the door.

Outside, the three shadow guardians—the evil wood, the evil fire, and the evil water—were standing.

He stared at himself with a ferocious expression.

She wiped her eyes, wiped away her tears, and went out to greet them.

Aunt Hui quickly grabbed her: "Lingling, they are bad people, don't go out, it's dangerous!"

Ma Lingling patted Aunt Hui's hand and said, "They must know where Duanmu is. Aunt Hui, please let me go, I beg you."

Aunt Hui was taken aback and silently withdrew her hand: "You need to be careful."

Ma Lingling nodded to her and walked out the door.

"Lingling, it's been so long!" Emu said to her with a smile.

"do you remember me?"

Ma Lingling frowned and asked, "What are you?"

Evilwood smiled, revealing the ugly general's figure.

"It's you?" Ma Lingling was slightly surprised. Wasn't this the person who had kidnapped her before?

"Hehe, it's me," the ugly general said with a grin.

"If it weren't for those three idiots, Balu, letting you go last time..."

"I dealt with Duanmu Yan a long time ago."

"Hmph, even if they don't let me go, Duanmu can still take care of you," Ma Lingling sneered.

"Is that so?" The ugly general raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"But your Duanmu is dead now, isn't he?"

Chapter 172 Reversing the Fate!

"Shut up!" Ma Lingling shouted, "Even if all of you monsters are dead."

"Duanmu won't die!"

Evilfire chuckled, "She's a rose with thorns."

"Evilwood, don't provoke her. Look, her eyes are red. She probably just had a good cry."

Evil Water clicked his tongue and said, "No way, I love seeing other people cry."

"Besides, she's such a pretty young girl, just look at her expression now."

"She's truly pitiful to behold."

"Enough!" Emu shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, kill her, and make sure Duanmu Yan dies with her eyes wide open in anger!"

"Hmph, then let me do it." Evil Fire clenched his fist and walked step by step toward Ma Lingling.

Ma Lingling showed no fear whatsoever as she faced the raging fire head-on.

He took out a dog-beating stick that was placed at the entrance of the shop and pointed it at him.

Seeing this, Evilfire laughed loudly, "Little girl, you're so adorably silly."

"Trying to fight me with a broken wooden stick?"

Ma Lingling gritted her teeth and said, "The dog-beating stick is meant to be used against you!"

"Fine, fine, fine!" the raging fire exclaimed three times. "I'll smash your brains out with one punch today!"

Emu raised his fist and, without any mercy, punched Ma Lingling in the head.

Ma Lingling gritted her teeth, swung the dog-beating stick, and swung it at Ehuo's fist.

The collision was predictable, and Aunt Hui in the shop was so frightened that she covered her mouth with her hands and closed her eyes.

puff--

A figure flew out.

No one expected that this person would be Evil Fire.

Ma Lingling touched her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Still.

She opened her eyes and saw a black suit of armor standing before her.

He shielded her tightly behind him, the sunlight shining on him and making her glow.

He turned around and nodded vigorously to Ma Lingling: "Sister-in-law, I'm late."

...

"No, I don't believe Duanmu Yan is dead!"

Balu slammed his fist on the table and stood up, facing Anmixiu Qiao's extravagant spending.

"Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

"He has survived countless crises, and every time he was pushed to the limit, he was able to turn the tide."

"And now he's dying so easily?"

"Just because he didn't show up?"

An Miu Xiu paused for a moment and then said, "Indeed, there is no clear evidence pointing to his death."

"But there's no evidence to prove he's still alive."

"If he were still alive, how could he not have gone back to the dumpling restaurant?"

Qiao Shefei nodded and said, "His girlfriend is there, he can't just ignore her."

Balu's eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten about this?

Without saying a word, he stood up and walked out the door.

"Baru, where are you going?" the two asked.

Balu turned his head and said, "I'm going to help her. When Duanmu Yan comes back, maybe she'll let go of her previous hatred."

"Are you crazy!" Anmixiu Qiao Shefei looked at him in disbelief.

"You know how powerful those Shadow Protectors are, not to mention they have such a powerful master behind them."

"Even Duanmu Yan was taken away by him, and you still want to oppose them?"

"Protect Duanmu Yan's girlfriend?"

Baru murmured, "I would rather die than believe that Duanmu Yan could fail."

"I never want to go against him again in my life."

"I'll risk everything to protect the most important person in his life."

"This is my only chance to survive."

After saying that, he walked out of the barbershop without looking back and headed straight for the dumpling restaurant.

An Miu sighed, walked out of the barbershop, and said something to Qiao Shefei.
