Astor stared incredulously at the head, muttering to himself:
"How is this possible?! How could Death Warriors capable of fighting Grandmaster be defeated so quickly?"
Who exactly were that couple?
"Tap tap tap tap"
Footsteps came from the corridor, and Astor stared wide-eyed at the doorway.
Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun were already standing in front of him, looking at Astor who was still tidying up with a half-smile.
" The Death Warriors you trained aren't very good either. My wife kicked them to pieces with one kick."
Astor sighed and put down the documents in his hand, "I admit defeat."
Jiang Junyi nodded. "Take us to where that woman is."
Astor turned around somewhat dejectedly and led the way.
After a series of twists and turns, Astor led Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun to a metal door.
The door is incredibly high-tech; it only opened slowly after Aster's rigorous authentication process.
Jiang Junyi squeezed Wan Qingyun's hand. " Qingyun, why don't you go in and check on Cancer first?"
Wan Qingyun nodded, then looked at Astor, realizing that her husband must have something to say.
Thinking this, she had already stepped inside.
Jiang Junyi turned to look at Astor: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Astor's docile surrender puzzled him, but after a moment's thought, he understood.
This is because we need his help.
Otherwise, he and Wan Qingyun would be facing Astor's desperate struggle.
Astor's eyes darkened. "I hope you will spare my brother and not spread this news."
Jiang Junyi became interested upon hearing this. "Your brother? Who is your brother?"
He could understand keeping what happened here a secret, since it concerned the reputation of the Duel Tournament.
"That's the host, his Aske, and he's extremely enthusiastic about Duel Tournament, or rather, dueling itself."
" Aske has a pure heart and cannot tolerate the taint of a duel."
When Aske was mentioned, a hint of pride and tenderness rose in Aske's eyes.
That host?
Jiang Junyi remembered it; he could still recall Aske's fervent and passionate appearance.
He is indeed a rather pure person.
"Okay, I agree to this condition."
Astor laughed, " The Duel Tournament will surely be even more exciting in his hands from now on."
Jiang Junyi nodded, his eyes now icy cold as he looked at Astor.
"Go with dignity."
There were no other emotions in Astor's eyes, only a resolute determination that he would not regret his moves.
He pulled out a pistol and pointed it at his temple.
"I lost."
"Bang!"
Blood splattered onto the wall behind him, and Astor's body slumped to the ground.
In the final moments of his life, his gaze fell upon a certain place, eventually losing focus and becoming dim and lifeless.
Jiang Junyi calmly observed all of this. "He only has himself to blame."
This way.
Wan Qingyun entered the room and walked through a small corridor.
The scene before her surprised her somewhat.
It wasn't the cold, damp place you might imagine, nor was it filled with a dense array of tubes and medical equipment.
Instead, it is lush with vegetation, and small animals live there.
A peaceful and tranquil scene unfolded.
Wan Qingyun strolled through the area and soon discovered a bed woven from grass and wood and surrounded by flowers.
A woman lay quietly with her hands folded over her lower abdomen.
Wan Qingyun walked slowly towards the woman, and was somewhat stunned when she first saw her.
Cancer, one of the Twelve Star Lords of the Black Palace.
Wan Qingyun felt that there was a word tailor-made for this person—gentle.
Whether it's her temperament or her eyes and brows.
Everything about Cancer seems to embody the word "gentle".
Wan Qingyun placed her hand on Cancer's hand, her True Qi surging slightly.
After a long pause, Wan Qingyun sighed. Cancer's body probably needs to be properly cared for.
She picked up Cancer's hand again and looked at it; she could vaguely see some pinhole marks.
Wan Qingyun's eyes turned cold. Night Crow was indeed right to kill him back then.
She picked up Cancer and carried him outside.
They happened to run into Jiang Junyi.
Jiang Junyi glanced at Cancer and raised an eyebrow. "Cancer?"
"Um."
Jiang Junyi nodded. "Let's go, White Court's people will come to clean up the mess here."
In the island jungle.
Uncle Wu and his group were surrounded by corpses, and no more Death Warriors to jump out and cause trouble.
The Leo a large sword and golden horse, sat on a fallen tree trunk, his hands stained with blood.
Those soft, cute cheeks were now stained with specks of blood.
However, her demeanor at this moment was different from her outward appearance.
Violent, insane, cruel.
This is the one that suits her best.
The Leo's chest heaved slightly, as if he hadn't had enough of killing.
At this moment, Wan Qingyun walked over carrying Cancer.
All eyes were on the woman in Wan Qingyun's arms.
Aries, in particular, staggered toward Cancer, his eyes already brimming with tears.
Aries' hands trembled as he wanted to touch her but hesitated greatly. " My Lord of Destiny..."
Wan Qingyun sighed softly, "Cancer hasn't woken up yet, we need to go back as soon as possible."
"It's up to you."
Wan Qingyun let Aries hold the Cancer, and anyone with eyes could see that there was definitely something between them.
Aries took Cancer's hand and looked at its pale face and closed eyes, feeling heartache in its eyes.
Wan Qingyun then looked at Jiang Junyi beside her:
"Honey, can I borrow White Court's Longevity Tower?"
Jiang Junyi felt as if an electric current was flowing through his entire body, leaving him feeling tingly and numb.
"Ahem!" Jiang Junyi coughed, trying to cover up his earlier lapse in composure.
He waved his hand dismissively. "Use it! Use it as you please!"
"Cancer must be cured!"
On the shore of Duel Island.
Wan Xiaoxiao was digging in the sand, utterly bored, while Bun Brother was standing nearby, equally bored.
Because he wasn't good at fighting, Bun Brother was left behind by Jiang Junyi to take care of Wan Xiaoxiao.
" Second Miss, I think the razor clam should be here."
Bun Brother pointed to a place far away from where Wan Xiaoxiao had dug.
"Impossible! I watched it go in!"
Wan Xiaoxiao shook her head, her twin ponytails swaying like rattles.
Bun Brother shrugged.
Some time has passed.
Wan Xiaoxiao frowned and tried digging at the spot that Bun Brother pointed to.
Is there really a hole?!
Bun Brother looked towards the sea and said, "It's coming..."
Wan Xiaoxiao: Really?
Bun Brother: "Really!"
Wan Xiaoxiao stared at the hole in the sand, lost in thought, "How long?"
Bun Brother gazed at the sea. "I'd estimate about twenty minutes?"
Wan Xiaoxiao: "It's going to take that long?"
Bun Brother: "This is considered fast."
Wan Xiaoxiao: "Do you think it's big or not?"
Bun Brother frowned. "Is it big? It'll only get bigger when we get closer, right?"
Wan Xiaoxiao: "That makes sense. How about we poke it a couple of times?"
Bun Brother was startled. "Would you like to stab the Young Master a couple of times?"
"This... isn't that a bad idea..."
Wan Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue. "What's wrong with that? Shouldn't we take it out?"
Bun Brother recalled what happened to White Court back then, and with a hardened heart, he realized that it seemed to make sense, anyway, the Second Miss had spoken!
"Alright, then we'll pull it out when the time is right!"
A short while later, the speedboat carrying Jiang Junyi arrived at the shore.
As soon as Jiang Junyi stepped off the ship, a roar suddenly rang out—
" Second Miss! Now! Take him!"
"Good!"
Bun Brother's eyes gleamed with excitement as he grabbed Jiang Junyi's... right side... Nana.
Wan Xiaoxiao also looked excited and reached for the hole in front of her with one hand.
"Hey? Bun Brother, there isn't any?"
Wan Xiaoxiao turned around and happened to meet Bun Brother's calm, but somewhat resigned, eyes:
"Catching razor clams?"
"Yes."
Bun Brother: "..."
I squeezed it, and wow, it's quite bouncy.
"Baozi... what are you doing..."
Jiang Junyi's voice rang out softly.
" Young Master... I can argue my way out of this..."
"Get the hell out of here!"
"Ah--!"
