The atmosphere inside the Slaughter Tavern was grave and oppressive.
Hu Liena stood quietly at Ye Qiu's side, a trace of concern in her beautiful eyes as she asked softly, "Ye Qiu, what should we do later? The King of Slaughter definitely won't be weak. One misstep, and we could fall into danger."
Before Ye Qiu could answer, Ling Yuan calmly took over. "Don't worry, Nana. Dong'er has already made her preparations. We're just waiting to meet the King of Slaughter. When the time comes, we'll definitely give him an unexpected 'surprise.'"
"Teacher?"

Without dwelling on it, he quietly reminded them:
"No matter what, we should still be careful later. Nana, don't stray too far from me. If anything happens, we'll be able to retreat in time."
"Don't worry. I won't hold you back."
Hu Liena nodded slightly, a charming smile on her face as she gently hooked her arm around Ye Qiu's.
