Not Lightly Mad

Seeing the eyeball radiating green evolutionary light, Feng Buqing's expression changed instantly.

"Fifth-Order Marvel, are you trying to die!"

Aunt Yun, an Evolver at the Butterfly Transformation Stage, using a Fifth-Order Marvel two tiers above her own, the price she would have to pay was unimaginable.

A smile appeared on Aunt Yun's dark, aged face. She had always carried this Fifth-Order Marvel with her. She hadn't used it when her comrades died along the way, nor when the disciple she had meticulously taught died before her eyes.

She had endured, because she only had one chance to use it.

Her mission was to protect Dr. Liu Wenyin, and she would only use this Fifth-Order Marvel—the Dream Weaver's Eye—if Liu Wenyin encountered danger.

And now, the time had come.

The green light of the Dream Weaver's Eye illuminated a large area around Aunt Yun and Feng Buqing. The amber pupils on the eyeball flickered with life, as if it were still alive.

Feng Buqing's body flickered and turned into a shadow as he retreated. The Fifth-Order Marvel was of a higher order than his own, and he dared not be careless.

However, the gaze of the Dream Weaver's Eye was like a physical entity, firmly locking onto Feng Buqing. A beam of green light shot from its pupil and struck him.

In the next instant, Feng Buqing was forced out of his ethereal state, his eyes vacant and seemingly in a daze.

At the same time, the shadowy hand that had been holding Su Ze and Liu Wenyin also dissipated, and the two regained their ability to move.

But the darkness that enveloped everyone had not yet receded.

Feng Buqing's dazed face suddenly broke into a smile, but soon turned to sadness, then anger, excitement, pleasure, madness, and all sorts of other emotions.

He was clearly being affected by the Dream Weaver's Eye.

Su Ze realized that the Dream Weaver's Eye, like his own Head of the Wailing Ones, was likely a Marvel that specialized in mental attacks.

Aunt Yun held the Dream Weaver's Eye, maintaining its effect. She seemed to have lost the ability to move as well, her arms trembling violently, strands of her hair turning white, more wrinkles appearing on her face, and her back becoming increasingly hunched.

Already past the age of knowing fate, she was now striding towards the end of her life.

"Aunt Yun."

Liu Wenyin stood helplessly in the darkness, as fragile as a dandelion at this moment, ready to scatter at the slightest breeze.

Su Ze could only watch in silence like the others. There was nothing they could do, and they couldn't interfere in a battle of this level.

If they rashly used their skills, which posed no threat to Saint Tier beings, against Feng Buqing, they might even make things worse.

They could only wait, for a result.

Su Ze took a couple of steps towards Liu Wenyin and gently patted her back, saying nothing.

Because Su Ze and Liu Wenyin had been caught by the shadowy hand and dragged away from the crowd, they were now standing together, while the others were dozens of meters away.

As Su Ze looked towards the others, he suddenly paused. After looking again, he lowered his voice and said to Liu Wenyin, "We're one person short."

Their team had a total of eight people. Excluding Aunt Yun, who was currently confronting Feng Buqing, there should be seven people on the ground, meaning seven evolutionary lights should be lit.

But now, Su Ze and Liu Wenyin had counted several times, and there were only four evolutionary lights in the crowd opposite them. Including themselves, that made only six people, clearly one person missing.

Under the shroud of a Saint Tier expert's skill, this person couldn't have escaped. Therefore, they had either encountered danger and died, or they had deliberately extinguished their evolutionary light and hidden themselves.

"The two orange evolutionary lights opposite are still lit, which means the one who disappeared was at the Pupal stage."

Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party had deliberately hidden themselves at this time, it would definitely be with ill intentions, but if it was just someone at the Pupal stage, they would be easier to deal with.

"Sister, you and I will extinguish our evolutionary lights together, then we'll move from our current spot. Be careful not to get separated from me," Su Ze whispered.

If the other party's target was Liu Wenyin, then the two of them standing here with their evolutionary lights lit would be like live targets.

But as long as they extinguished their evolutionary lights and hid in the darkness, the other party wouldn't be able to find them either.

"Okay." Liu Wenyin responded, and then, along with Su Ze, she concealed her evolutionary power within her body. Their red evolutionary lights immediately dissipated.

Su Ze took Liu Wenyin's hand and led her for more than a hundred steps before stopping.

At this moment, a change finally occurred between Aunt Yun and Feng Buqing, who were locked in a stalemate above. As Aunt Yun grew progressively older, the green light emanating from the Dream Weaver's Eye began to flicker, like a faulty flashlight, dimming and brightening intermittently.

Meanwhile, Feng Buqing, whose emotions were constantly shifting, now changed expressions faster and faster, sometimes switching through several expressions in a single second.

Finally, Aunt Yun swayed precariously and fell from the air.

The four people below Aunt Yun quickly caught her.

"I'm fine." Aunt Yun pushed away those who were trying to help her up and asked, "Where did Dr. Liu go?"

Liu Wenyin wanted to run over, but Su Ze held her back. "Wait a moment longer, and don't make a sound. The person who hid might be waiting for us nearby."

At this moment, Feng Buqing also seemed to regain consciousness.

Everyone present, except for Aunt Yun, felt their hearts sink... Feng Buqing wasn't dead?

But then, Feng Buqing's face suddenly broke into a foolish, simple smile, and he shouted loudly, "I love you, Mom."

Then, he looked grief-stricken, "My husband doesn't want me anymore, boohoo..."

He then switched to a look of extreme pain, yelling, "It hurts so much, I'm going into labor!"

His face contorted with rage, "You slut, how dare you cheat on me!"

With righteous indignation, "Let me represent the moon and destroy you."

Flailing wildly, "Make my monster grow bigger!"

He seemed possessed by a drama queen, constantly switching roles and reciting different lines.

"Has he… gone mad?"

Everyone was in disbelief. A Saint Tier expert, an invincible being in their eyes, had been driven insane like this?

What exactly had Feng Buqing experienced in this short period?

Fifth-Order Marvels were too terrifying!

"This time, Feng Buqing has truly gone mad."

Su Ze also hadn't expected this outcome. The now-insane Feng Buqing seemed to have lost all hostility towards them, solely focused on his one-man show.

"Qiangzi!" Feng Buqing suddenly shouted into the distance, as if something extremely important was slipping away from him. His face was filled with reluctance, tears streaming down, as he chased after it into the distance.

As he chased, he kept shouting, "Qiangzi, how can I live without you!"

"Qiangzi! Qiangzi…"

"Qiangzi, take me with you, Qiangzi…"

Amidst the cries of "Qiangzi," Su Ze and the others watched Feng Buqing fly further and further away until he disappeared.

And with Feng Buqing's departure, the darkness that had enveloped them also receded.

As the darkness retreated, light returned to the world. Su Ze immediately spotted Li Gaojie not far from them.

"It was you after all!" Su Ze had long suspected that the hidden person was Li Gaojie.

Li Gaojie also instantly lunged, heading straight for Liu Wenyin.
