Chapter 184

A panel showed a large amount of water, like a small tsunami.

In the next panel, Zhou Chenhao was forcefully pushed to the side by this sudden surge of water, moving away from Yuan Lan. His face still showed a hint of astonishment as he was swept away.

【Eh, what does it mean for Bai Xuechao to push Brother Hao away? (Scratching head) Doesn’t he need to be saved? Is he telling Brother Hao to leave quickly?】

【Don’t forget that Yuan Lan was about to plant a puppet thread in Brother Hao. Of course, it was to protect Brother Hao and get him away from Yuan Lan. And this fool just rushed up like that. (Covering face)】

【Thank you to the sister in front of me, I’m shipping this! One rushes up without regard for his own safety, while the other, even while spitting blood, still wants to protect the other. The little dog and his master are on a two-way street! (Scattering flowers)】

【The little dog and his master, hahaha, I’m really cracking up!!】

The gaping wound on Yuan Lan’s chest was covered by puppet threads. When the puppet threads disappeared, his wound had also healed.

He forcefully pulled up Bai Xuechao, who was lying on his side on the ground.

Following this was a close-up of Bai Xuechao.

The exquisitely handsome and pale young man’s expression couldn’t hide his weakness. His snow-colored long lashes drooped, and his half-hidden red eyes were like pigeon’s blood rubies covered in a thin layer of snow.

Because of the continuous, violent coughing, the young man’s eyes glistened with physiological tears, looking somewhat moist, and the area around his eyes was also tinged with a crimson hue. Scarlet blood overflowed from his blood-stained, vibrant red lips, flowing down his jaw and sliding across his slender neck.

【Holy moly, the battle-damaged god-like pictures are real.】

【This is a side effect of Bai Xuechao’s special ability, right? How can this be considered battle damage, hahaha? He hasn’t even moved a meter in total. Is he getting battle-damaged on the spot?】

【Why can’t the side effect of a special ability be considered battle damage? Have you ever heard of a stationary mage!!】

【Stop arguing about whether it’s battle damage or not. Such a beautiful face! A beauty spitting blood! What are you still standing there for? Lick it! Prprpr~ (Drooling)】

【Wuwu, wifey Axue’s vulnerability and brokenness are absolutely stunning. It makes one want to inflict pain. This old pervert really wants to ravage him (.) (Afraid to make a sound) (Little face all yellow)】

【Family, I’m laying my cards on the table. I’m a pervert! Seeing wifey spit blood, my dick exploded. I really want to lick his blood off and pin him to the ground and do this and that! (Gesturing)】

【Good heavens, the one in front is even more of a heavyweight (.)】

The next panel turned to Yuan Lan.

His brilliant golden eyes widened in excitement, and his lips stretched into an exaggerated arc, making him look somewhat neurotic. “I like you so much!”

Another bubble explained the reason: “You’re the first person to break free from my special ability!”

【Hehehe, it’s the New Year, it’s the New Year! These two eyes of mine can only see Yuan Lan’s first sentence! He likes Axue! (Cupping face) (Auntie’s smile)】

【Our Lanxue CP has already started their passionate confession. Your CP is still Ma-●-baka~ (Dancing wildly) (Cat meme)】

【Alright, alright, the first person to break free from his special ability. That’s got to leave a deep and unforgettable impression, right? Fast forward to the white moonlight. (Doge emoji)】

More and more water gathered beside Bai Xuechao, forming a churning ball of water.

Yuan Lan, however, just smiled and watched him, completely ignoring it, as if he was confident he could handle whatever Bai Xuechao threw at him.

The next panel was a close-up of Ji Chuanze.

Because of his broken kneecap, he could only lie on the ground. His eyes were still a little out of focus due to the side effects, but his ears keenly caught the sound of water. His inner monologue bubble read: That guy was coughing up blood just now, it seems to be because… what is he trying to do now? In his condition, he can’t use his special ability anymore. Could it be that he—

He shouted, “Bai Xuechao—!”

Following this was a long-shot panel. Ji Chuanze propped himself up with both hands on the ground and roared in the direction of the sound of water. The dialogue box was twice as large. “I don’t need you to save me!”

【Little Ji’s monologue is a bit strange. Coughing up blood is because of what? His special ability? But does that even need to be guessed? (Scratching head)】

【Foreshadowing! This must be foreshadowing! (Firmly believing)】

【Could it be because of some illness… Bronchial tubes? Lungs? Blood system? Could it be tuberculosis? It can’t be some terminal illness, right? Wuwu, no! (Crying)】

【A qualified reader will stab themselves, right? (Wiping sweat) By the way, to the one who guessed tuberculosis, that’s a contagious disease. If Bai Xuechao really has tuberculosis, then he’s a plague king, and everyone present is at risk of infection. The main point is to have the protagonist group + villain all be taken down here, right? You’re penalized to buy the medical knowledge chip!】

【Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Bai Xuechao missed out on the title of “Plague Lord.” (Laughing and crying)】

【Ahhh, I’m shipping this, I’m shipping this. Axue is overdrawing himself to save the little dog! (Covering mouth and crying) Our Xuechuan is real!】

【Why can’t it be to save Brother Hao? This is all just Ji Chuanze’s own speculation, right? (Touching chin)】

【Is it possible that he’s saving everyone? If he can really deal with Yuan Lan, everyone will be saved.】

【Haha, I’m just afraid he’s cannon fodder (.)】

In the manga, the ball of water erupted, forming a very thick column of water that pushed both Bai Xuechao and Yuan Lan towards the large hole that had been blasted in the wall.

The two of them fell from the Dream Game City together!

The protagonist group all showed expressions of shock and disbelief. They immediately rushed towards the hole. Because they were injured, their steps were staggering.

Ji Chuanze’s eyes, which had not yet recovered, stared fixedly at the large hole, as if by doing so he could see something.

He gritted his teeth and used his forearms to support himself on the ground, moving towards the large hole in the wall.

At this moment, the scene changed to outside the Dream Game City. Yuan Lan was holding the already unconscious Bai Xuechao with one hand, pulling on a puppet thread and swooping through the buildings.

【Huh? Huh huh? I’m completely stunned. Is this sacrificing himself to lure the boss away? (Holding a bowl, stunned) (Head full of question marks)】

【This isn’t just saving little dog Ji, it’s also saving the protagonist group!】

【In this battle, everyone survived, only my wifey’s fate is uncertain. (Covering mouth and crying)】

【Wuwu, this is so angsty. Little Ji is crawling on the ground, just trying to get closer to where wifey disappeared. (Covering mouth and crying)】

【Ahem, that’s more like crawling forward. “Crawling on the ground” sounds a bit too miserable. (Sweating profusely)】

【Um, does anyone remember that Yuan Lan was originally lured here by him…?】

【If you’re going to put it that way, then there’s no point. Shouldn’t we go back even further? Yuan Lan was initially interested in Brother Hao, right?】

【I have a question (raises hand). How did Bai Xuechao know that Yuan Lan would take him away instead of going back to kill them?】

【In response to the previous question, he was probably just trying his luck, hahaha.】

The scene in the manga was still outside the Dream Game City.

The trio had already reached the edge of the large hole. Zhou Chenhao was supporting Xia Xiaoxi’s arm, and Ling Feng was squatting on one knee beside them. The three of them looked down together.

The next panel was an over-the-shoulder shot, showing what the protagonist group saw from a high angle.

The street below the Dream Game City was empty, with only the light from the street lamps. There was not a single person in sight.

Ling Feng speculated with a solemn expression that Bai Xuechao had been taken away by Yuan Lan.

A bubble appeared next to them: “Fuck.”

The trio all turned to look.

Ji Chuanze’s handsome face was stained with blood. He was gritting his teeth, his eyes and brows full of hostility. He punched the ground hard.

【Alright, the heart that was in suspense has finally died.】

【Little dog Ji’s mentality has probably exploded. His employer (and friend?) was taken away right in front of him.】

【My mentality has exploded too. I don’t know how wifey will be treated after being taken away. (Crying)】

【I feel a little bad for Ji Chuanze. First, he was pummeled by Yuan Lan and got physically and mentally injured, and then he watched helplessly as Bai Xuechao was taken away to save him.】

【In front, it was “watched helplessly” in a physical sense. In reality, he couldn’t see a thing, hahaha. (Laughing and crying)】

【Does anyone remember that Ling Feng reported an emergency? Now that Yuan Lan is gone, why haven’t the SAIDB’s reinforcements arrived yet?? (Speechless)】

【Reinforcements (riding a snail): I’m coming! I’m on my way as fast as I can!】

Ji Chuanze continued to move towards the large hole with his arms, probably wanting to personally confirm Bai Xuechao’s disappearance.

Following this was a close-up. His hand, covered in blood and dust, touched a mobile phone.

The next panel showed Ji Chuanze’s somewhat stunned expression.

He picked up the phone and held it close to his eyes to carefully identify it. He thought to himself: This is Bai Xuechao’s phone… he must have left it behind on purpose.

“Is that Bai Xuechao’s?” Zhou Chenhao walked closer to him and asked.

Ji Chuanze held Bai Xuechao’s phone, and the hostility on his face instantly subsided a lot, becoming much calmer.

He answered with a “mm.”

【I feel like little dog Ji has received Xuexue’s posthumous belongings and has been instantly soothed a lot.】

【? What do you mean by posthumous belongings in front! I’ll give you a chance to rephrase that! (Raising knife)】

【I came back for a second read and found that I’ve been scolded with hundreds of bullet comments (shocked). I’m sorry, I misspoke. I meant to say “left-behind belongings,” abbreviated as “posthumous belongings,” ahhh! I’ve been good now, please let me off!】

【Is little Ji so sure that wifey left it on purpose? (Scratching head)】

【I can only say they have a tacit understanding that we don’t know about?】

At this moment, the Dream Game City suddenly began to shake violently.

Ling Feng reacted instantly. “The Dream Game City is a product of a special ability! Let’s go! Bai Xuechao should have left the range of the special ability. This place is about to collapse!”

After he finished speaking, he helped Xia Xiaoxi, whose legs had been cut by the puppet threads, and ran outside.

【Thumbs up for Ling Feng, he still remembered to run with my daughter. (Hamster crying with a handkerchief)】

【Wuwu, I feel so bad for my daughter’s legs, so much blood.】

【Is Yuan Lan’s moving speed that fast? He’s already out of the special ability’s range? (Maomao: Huh?.gif)】

【Ah, then isn’t Jade Liquor a complete shut-in? He basically never left the Dream Game City, and even if he did, he would just wander around the vicinity. (Afraid to make a sound)】

Zhou Chenhao glanced at Ji Chuanze and saw that he was lying on the ground and couldn’t stand up at all. He said directly, “I’ll carry you!”

“Huh?” Ji Chuanze looked astonished.

He had just opened his mouth to say, “You don’t need to help…” when Zhou Chenhao picked him up in one go.

The next panel was a Q-version expression of Ji Chuanze. His eyes had turned into two dots, and his mouth was a small triangular mouth. He looked completely stunned.

【Hahaha, Brother Hao is so enthusiastic, he just picked him up directly. Little dog Ji is stunned.】

【The two little dogs are snuggling (.)】

【The one in front is going to make me die of laughter. After the master left, the two little dogs are warming each other, is that it?】

【QAQ A little dog will die if it loses its master!】

Zhou Chenhao ran outside while carrying Ji Chuanze. When he passed by Ji Chuanze’s dropped Tang Hengdao, he kicked it up with his foot, caught it, and then continued to dash downstairs.

He was so fast that he even surpassed Xia Xiaoxi and Ling Feng, who had left first.

【That kicking the knife move was so cool!】

【Ling Feng, you should learn from Brother Hao! (Pointing) Pick up Xiao Xi!】

Zhou Chenhao put Ji Chuanze down after carrying him out of the main entrance.

He handed the Tang Hengdao to Ji Chuanze and said with a smile, “No need to thank me!”

Ji Chuanze took the Tang Hengdao. “Who said I was going to thank you.”

At this moment, Ling Feng half-supported and half-carried Xia Xiaoxi out.

The moment their feet stepped out of the main entrance, in the next panel, the Dream Game City collapsed with a loud bang, turning into dust
