"If you want to laugh, just let it out, or you might end up with an internal injury," Han Yan sighed, speaking to Huayue whose face was almost twisting with effort. After saying that, she herself began to laugh unrestrainedly.
"Ha... Hahahahaha." Huayue finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into loud laughter.
Qu Shanhai glared fiercely at Han Yan and the others, but he didn’t have the intention to scold them. Being a descendant of Capital’s wealthy Qu Family with a resoundingly good reputation, he was, of course, embarrassed to bring down the wrath like He Songhua on several juniors; it would be too damaging to his dignity.

By then, Chen Pingfeng was plummeting fast, and although he had the cultivation of a Great Swordsman, falling from dozens of feet in the air would still likely result in broken arms and legs. Chen Pingfeng, terrified, flailed his limbs wildly, looking every bit like a clumsy bird with broken wings.
Qu Shanhai leaped up high and caught Chen Pingfeng in a ’princess carry’ just before he hit the ground, sliding sideways upon landing for a good sixty feet before dissipating the huge force from the fall.
"Pingfeng, are you hurt?" Qu Shanhai asked with concern.
"Thank you, Brother Qu, for coming to my rescue. I am not injured," Chen Pingfeng said gratefully.
"That’s good, that’s good," Qu Shanhai sighed in relief.
Truly a display of deep brotherly affection, the scene moved Han Yan and the others. But hadn’t they noticed their own posture was rather indecent? A big man holding another big man in a tight princess carry, gazing into each other’s eyes with deep affection—what kind of rhythm was this?
Such homoerotic vibes, and so full of it... Ahhh... Urgh! Han Yan smacked her forehead suddenly, feeling that her past life’s bad education had corrupted her thoughts.
Looking over to Zirong Huayue and Mu Nan, Han Yan saw that each of them had contemplative looks and wicked smiles.
Han Yan curled her lip: A bunch of degenerates! To such filthy-minded and evil-hearted people, Lady Mu expressed her deepest contempt.
"Pingfeng, you rest for a while and regulate your breath." Although Chen Pingfeng wasn’t injured, Qu Shanhai could still sense the chaos in his qi and worried about potential hidden problems, so he set him down to rest on the spot. Of course, a more important reason was that he too realized their current posture was rather unsightly and could lead to wild speculation.
"Brother Qu, the red cocoon seems much weaker now. Let us try again," a man next to them said.
Even though Chen Pingfeng failed to break through the defense of the Dragon Blood Stone and made himself look like a ’Heavenly Flying Immortal’, his efforts had weakened the red cocoon considerably.
"Elder Qu, it’s our turn now, right?" The two men who had arrived earlier clamored to go next, knowing if they left Qu Shanhai’s group to continue their tactic of wearing it down, then sooner or later the cocoon would break, leaving them no chance at all.
"That’s fine, let’s give you another try," Qu Shanhai finally said after pondering for a moment.
"Brother Qu!" Chen Pingfeng called out anxiously from the side.
He had paid the price of a ’Heavenly Flying Immortal’ to weaken the Dragon Blood Stone’s defensive layer; how could he just let outsiders take advantage of that?
Qu Shanhai waved his hand to stop him from continuing. Only after the two men turned and walked towards the Dragon Blood Stone did he lower his voice and say, "This Dragon Blood Stone is not as simple as you think. They two will hardly be able to break through its defenses, and even if they do, they’ll likely suffer great losses. We should conserve our strength for now. When the time comes, we’ll be able to obtain the Dragon Blood Stone without much effort, which is better, right?"
"But previously, didn’t we agree that the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would go to those fated for them? If we take action and snatch it later, it won’t be justified, and the news won’t look good," Chen Pingfeng’s straightforward nature showed as he voiced his concerns upon hearing this.
