"Senior Sister...?" Long Jie called tentatively. As if she had heard his voice, the cold glint in Hu Liena's eyes gradually faded, returning her to normal.
She looked at Long Jie apologetically. "Sorry, Junior Brother, I just..."
Before she could finish, she felt herself being pulled into an embrace. Then Long Jie's concerned voice reached her ears. "Senior Sister, remember this: I'm here!"
At those words, Hu Liena felt warmth fill her heart. She did not want to say anything, only softly murmured, "Mm."
Though there were few words, they spoke louder than a thousand words!
After the battle ended, the two returned to the residential area. The moment they left the Slaughter Arena, murderous gazes filled the streets, fixed on them and making them uncomfortable.
Long Jie frowned. For some reason, whenever he looked at these people, he felt an urge to kill them.
"Could the killing intent here have already affected me?" Long Jie felt that was entirely possible.
Just like when he had killed those people earlier—he had acted without the slightest hesitation, completely unlike his usual self.
As he was thinking this, a gentle hand suddenly touched his. Long Jie turned around and saw Hu Liena looking calmly ahead. "Be careful. Don't act impulsively!"
"Mm. You too!"
Hand in hand, the two cautiously returned to their residence. According to the commentator, this was an absolutely safe place.
However... what embarrassed them was that they only had one room, and there was only one bed in it.
"Then... should I sleep on the floor?" Long Jie asked, glancing at Hu Liena.
Hu Liena directly shook her head. "No need. Why worry about that? It's not a big deal!"
As she spoke, she lay directly on the bed, turned her face to the side, and said expressionlessly, "Sleep!"
