96: Chapter 96 In front of it

Lu Huan coughed lightly. He had seen it clearly just now; Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang had appeared out of thin air, and that Ah Huang had even spat fire from its mouth.

Huo Sixian had also seen it. Everyone inside the vehicle had witnessed it clearly.

However, Huo Sixian couldn't care less about that. It was Ye Qingqing, the Ye Qingqing he had been searching for for so long.

Stumbling out of the car, Huo Sixian was suddenly overcome with a feeling of trepidation upon nearing his goal.

It seemed that when he had truly found Ye Qingqing, Huo Sixian, for a moment, didn't know how to begin.

Looking at Ye Qingqing's back, Huo Sixian, for a moment, didn't dare to step forward.

He reached a hand out towards Ye Qingqing's retreating figure.

When Ye Qingqing turned her head, her initial thought was to have Ah Huang deal with the few people who had followed behind them. But she hadn't expected that the moment she turned, she would see Huo Sixian.

At this moment, Huo Sixian's expression held a trace of sorrow. Looking at Ye Qingqing, his lips trembled slightly. If the current environment had been a place of beautiful scenery,

Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing would undoubtedly be starring in a scene straight out of an idol drama.

But given the current scorching heat, the lingering aroma of roasted human flesh in the air, and even the accompanying sounds of chewing food...

Ye Qingqing felt that encountering Huo Sixian under these circumstances was also quite unexpected.

Moreover, she had a feeling that Huo Sixian seemed to have changed somewhat.

The look in his eyes when he gazed at her had changed, now carrying an inexplicable emotion that Ye Qingqing couldn't quite decipher.

But Ye Qingqing knew full well that when she and Ah Huang had emerged from the space just now, Huo Sixian and the others must have seen it.

If that was the case, then Ye Qingqing couldn't afford to let these people live. Even if she couldn't defeat them, she had to fight desperately. Otherwise, once the secret of the space was discovered,

the only path awaiting Ye Qingqing would be death.

Under Huo Sixian's gaze, a knife slowly materialized in Ye Qingqing's hand. This startled Lu Huan and the others, who were still in the following vehicle, quite badly.

Kong Ziyi stammered again, "Did I see that right? That knife definitely appeared out of thin air just now!"

Lu Huan and Meng Hangfei were so shocked they couldn't speak. Not daring to get out of the car, they sat inside, observing Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian's movements.

Ah Huang currently detested Huo Sixian intensely. Ah Huang, it held grudges, and it held them fiercely!

A low growl rumbled in Ah Huang's throat, warning Huo Sixian not to advance any further. But upon seeing Ye Qingqing, Huo Sixian could no longer control himself.

After a moment of stunned silence, he began walking towards Ye Qingqing.

A cold snort escaped Ye Qingqing's lips, her mouth curving into a slight smirk. She thought this Huo Sixian was overestimating his abilities.

He was coming straight for her just like that? Did he think she was someone easy to bully!

Then, in the next second, Ye Qingqing froze. Huo Sixian's speed was extremely fast, almost like teleportation. Before Ye Qingqing's knife could reach his neck, Huo Sixian used a clever application of force to deflect it away.

Ye Qingqing felt an immense pressure around her waist. It seemed as if he intended to crush her into his very bones and blood.

What... was this situation...

A question mark slowly formed in Ye Qingqing's mind.

Suddenly, Huo Sixian's voice sounded beside her ear, "Qingqing, I've finally found you..."

Just as shocked as Ye Qingqing was Ah Huang.

No way! Seriously!

This Huo Sixian!

How could he!

Right before its eyes!

Directly hug its owner!

Furious, Ah Huang immediately began circling Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian. It wanted to breathe fire at Huo Sixian, but with Ye Qingqing right there, a direct blast would injure her too.

Ah Huang was not a dog that would harm its owner, so it suppressed its fiery urge.

But Ah Huang was still extremely displeased seeing Huo Sixian.

So Ah Huang directly latched onto Huo Sixian's pant leg, using great force, its teeth sinking deep into Huo Sixian's flesh.

A muffled groan escaped Huo Sixian's lips, but the arms holding Ye Qingqing didn't loosen in the slightest.

Huo Sixian feared that if he relaxed his grip even a little, Ye Qingqing would disappear.

Ye Qingqing found the situation somewhat inexplicably amusing. What was Huo Sixian doing now? Did he think she wouldn't push him away?

Ye Qingqing felt utterly exasperated. Instantly, another dagger appeared in her hand. With a surge of ruthlessness, she watched as it plunged straight towards Huo Sixian's back.

With a sickening *thud*, the dagger stabbed deeply into Huo Sixian's back. Ye Qingqing clearly heard the muffled grunt forced from Huo Sixian's nostrils.

Yet Huo Sixian's embrace around Ye Qingqing showed no sign of weakening.

Seeing the knife suddenly appear out of thin air in Ye Qingqing's hand, the hearts of Kong Ziyi and the others in the following vehicle leapt into their throats.

Then, witnessing Ye Qingqing drive the knife into Huo Sixian's back,

Meng Hangfei even cried out in alarm, "Boss!"

Unable to stay put any longer, Meng Hangfei and the other two got out of the car and rushed towards Huo Sixian's location.

But Ah Huang blocked their path.

Standing guard in front of Ye Qingqing, Ah Huang spat a burst of fire at their feet.

A low, threatening growl also emanated from its throat, the meaning crystal clear: take one more step forward, and the next blast of fire would be aimed directly at their bodies.

"Don't come over!"

Huo Sixian said in a low voice, yet his body showed no intention of releasing Ye Qingqing.

A wave of exasperation washed over Ye Qingqing. Through gritted teeth, she said, "Couldn't you have dodged?"

A hint of grievance tinged Huo Sixian's voice, "I won't dodge. I won't dodge no matter what you do to me."

"I'm afraid if I dodge, you'll disappear."

Listening to Huo Sixian's words, Ye Qingqing felt a sense of bafflement. She thought this person was strange. He had pretended not to know her before, so what was this about now?

Frustrated, Ye Qingqing pushed against Huo Sixian with all her might, but he remained immovable.

The scent of blood surged into Ye Qingqing's nostrils.

This smell spread quickly in the intense heat.

Behind Ye Qingqing, the Sheep-Eating Clan members, who had been engrossed in their frenzied feast, their eyes red with the frenzy of eating, now caught the scent of blood from Huo Sixian.

It was as if their inner desires were being stirred up.

Gradually, some of them staggered to their feet and began moving towards Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing.

With her back to the Sheep-Eating Clan, Ye Qingqing naturally couldn't see the situation behind her.

But Huo Sixian saw it clearly.

Before Ye Qingqing could even process her thoughts,

Huo Sixian released one of the hands around her waist. Then, using the strength of a single arm, he directly hoisted Ye Qingqing over his shoulder.

Before Ye Qingqing could struggle with all her might, her rear end received a few sharp slaps.

"Stop fussing," Huo Sixian said, his voice low and firm.

Ye Qingqing drew in a sharp breath. Her initial thought was to simply vanish into the space and be done with it.

But now she was slung over Huo Sixian's shoulder, with Ah Huang still beside her. If Ye Qingqing entered the space now, Ah Huang would be left behind outside.
