An Yan closed the distance between them again, then quickly leaned in and pecked him on the lips.
"Now I believe I’m the only one in your heart."
Only she could awaken him! Such pride!
"I don’t know when I might go mad. Aren’t you worried?"
"Not worried at all. Didn’t you say it’s just temporary madness and that you’ll get better?"
An Yan took his hand. "Li Tianyao, I’ve told you before, people should look forward and focus on the good things. So, don’t worry about whether you might go mad; you should focus on getting better. No matter what happens, you will definitely recover in the end. And I will wait for you. Once you’re better, you can be with me."
Her eyes seemed to shine, dazzling him.
Bowing his head, he buried his nose in the crook of her neck. Her scent gave him an unprecedented sense of comfort. He never thought a woman would one day be willing to risk her life to awaken him. What had he, Li Tianyao, done to deserve such a wife?
After a long moment, he suddenly bent down and lifted her.
The home Li Tianyao spoke of wasn’t the Li Family residence but his private estate in Shangjing City. The car wound its way up until it reached the top of a cliff, where An Yan finally saw a house. It was shaped like a giant eagle with spread wings. Upon entering, she found an elevator instead of a lobby. As soon as they stepped inside, the elevator automatically descended. When the doors opened, An Yan saw a huge bedroom. A king-sized bed sat in the middle, with a bathroom and walk-in closet on one side and an open-plan study on the other. The entire house was embedded in the cliff, offering views of the outside scenery through its glass walls.
"Go take a hot bath first. Food will be delivered shortly."
Soaking in the hot water, An Yan finally felt truly relaxed. She concentrated on observing the Yezi in her mind; the translucence still showed the previous eighteen Yezi, but through the Bai Wu, she could vaguely make out a large cluster of green.
What does that mean? An Yan pondered. Could it be that the fight with the upgraded Living Dead indirectly saved many people? Of course, many people were saved. If that Living Dead had been released, it would have been an absolute catastrophe. But why can I only see them vaguely and not have them revealed directly? Is it because the enemy hasn’t been completely eliminated, or because the matter hasn’t been fully resolved? Google seaʀᴄh novel※fire.net
Previously, when she operated on Elder Mo, the Yezi were only rewarded after he regained consciousness. After the upgraded Living Dead were destroyed, the organization that created them could no longer hide. With Li Tianyao’s abilities, while not necessarily meaning he would annihilate them completely, it would definitely be impossible for them to continue creating Living Dead.
So, why aren’t the Yezi appearing fully?
When she finished her bath and came out, food had already been delivered. A freshly groomed Li Tianyao sat on the sofa, his gaze fixed intently on her. She wasn’t wearing women’s clothes but his black shirt, which was wide and large on her. She had rolled up the sleeves and cinched the waist with his belt, ensuring nothing inappropriate was revealed. Yet, with her fair skin and slender waist, she looked so beautiful he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Every part of her is perfectly to my taste. She’s the most beautiful woman in the world.
"COUGH!" An Yan, embarrassed by his gaze, asked, "Um, you don’t mind me wearing your clothes, do you?"
Li Tianyao snapped back to reality and averted his gaze. "Come eat."
The table was laden with a feast. He fed her as carefully as one would a baby, gently blowing on each bite, his face full of concern. "Your lips can’t handle anything too hot, can they?"
An Yan gave him a speechless glare. "What do you think?" Who kisses someone so hard they tear the skin off their lips!
After the meal, he carefully picked her up, placed her in bed, and pulled up the blanket. Only after making sure everything was fine did he go around to the other side and get into bed. Lying on his side, he watched her intently.
An Yan was speechless. I’m exhausted, but how can I sleep with him staring at me like that?
She simply pulled him down to lie with her and snuggled into his arms. "Let’s sleep together."
The man adjusted his position, loosely embracing her waist. "Mhm."
Only after he heard her long, soft breathing did Li Tianyao slowly close his eyes.
I don’t know how many more days I can hold on. The Golden Thread Worm still hasn’t been found. I guess Li Yanluo must have hidden it somewhere secret. Or maybe I should personally return to the Li Family tomorrow.
After the couple fell asleep, the world outside had already changed. Tang Junyi began a purge of Gu Xiu’s forces. Gu Xiu escaped.
Li Minghao was arrested by the police. He vehemently demanded to see Li Tianyao, claiming Li Tianyao had killed his daughter, Li Mingqing, and owed him an explanation. However, lawyers presented affidavits from Mo Shiyan and others. These explicitly revealed how Li Qingqing, intending to break up An Yan and Li Tianyao, had deliberately set a trap using Elder Mo. After the conspiracy came to light, she even attempted to kill the elder.
"Li Qingqing committed a capital crime and resisted arrest; that’s why she was executed on the spot by Captain Li!" the lawyer stated.
"Nonsense! You’re just trying to whitewash Li Tianyao!" Li Minghao yelled. "I want to see my lawyer! I want to expose your true faces for everyone to see!"
The police immediately contacted their superiors to ask how to handle Li Minghao.
The reply from their superiors was succinct: "Execute by firing squad!"
Soon after, an investigative report about the incident arrived from the higher-ups. To kill Li Tianyao, Li Minghao had colluded with criminals like Gu Xiu to abduct numerous children. These children were still unconscious and unresponsive. They had also manipulated the police force, drawing officers to the hospital under the guise of protecting the children, intending for them to clash with An Yan and her group. If An Yan’s group hadn’t been vigilant and avoided conflict, the consequences would have been unimaginable. With this clear stance from above, Li Minghao could no longer stir up any trouble.
A video of Li Tianyao fighting two robots spread like wildfire. While some idolized him, others noticed he didn’t even flinch from attacks.
"[He was clearly hit, but he doesn’t have a scratch on him!]"
"[Yeah, yeah! Could it be he really has some Cultivation Technique?]"
"[A Cultivation Technique for invulnerability? That can’t be any proper technique; it defies scientific principles!]"
Just as public opinion started to veer in an unpredictable direction, the authorities intervened again, revealing the latest model of bulletproof vest.
The netizens had an epiphany:
"[I knew it! No matter how strong, you can’t be truly invulnerable, right?]"
"[It just shows Li Tianyao is truly strong. He didn’t even flinch! Ancient Martial Cultivators are just awesome!]"
The commotion outside didn’t disturb An Yan’s sleep at all. She slept until another morning arrived. When the first rays of sunlight passed through the massive glass window and landed on the large bed, An Yan contentedly opened her eyes.
The other side of the large bed was empty; Li Tianyao was gone.
