[Instant Kill Ye Yun]

Linji Island.

A sliver of sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, illuminating the room and striking that handsome, cold face.

His eyelids twitched slightly. He slowly opened his eyes and raised a hand to block the harsh light.

"Good morning, Xiao Yun! Current time: 10:35. Temperature: 26 degrees Celsius, comfortable. Last night: three hours of deep sleep, six hours of light sleep, total sleep time ten hours. Overall rating: Excellent."

The Smart Watch on the bedside table began broadcasting information the moment it detected Ye Yun's awakening.

Ye Yun rubbed his hair, yawned, and threw off the covers, ready to get up and wash his face and brush his teeth.

"This..."

That shouldn't be.

He never had this kind of situation.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knock sounded at the door.

"What is it?"

Ye Yun hurriedly rubbed his face. How embarrassing.

If word got out.

Wouldn't it just invite ridicule?

"Still not up? The sun is already high. What are you waiting for, getting ready to do what?"

Feiran's voice came from outside: "Hurry up. I need to talk to you about something."

"Give me a minute."

Ye Yun rolled out of bed and rushed toward the bathroom.

First, a shower, then change his pants.

"Xiao Ka, grab me a pair of underwear. Thanks."

From inside the bathroom.

Came Ye Yun's call.

And the intelligent robot basking in the sun on the room's balcony—just like System Q from Gun God Record—rose from the balcony and flew to the wardrobe to fetch him his underwear.

"Need a jacket?"

The mechanical, cold voice came from within the sphere.

"Not needed."

After confirming Ye Yun didn't need a jacket, the intelligent sphere grabbed a pair of underwear, lifted into the air, and flew toward the bathroom.

Less than five minutes after the smart home assistant handed the underwear to Ye Yun, he walked out dripping wet, with eight-pack abs on his chest and virtually no scars on his body—a perfectly standard physique.

After putting on a suit that fit him well, Ye Yun finally opened the door and stepped out. He scratched his damp hair, yawned, and said, "What's for breakfast today?"

"Bread and milk."

The Intelligent Being Feiran leaned against the railing nearby and said, "Rare to see you showering in the early morning."

"Is that strange?"

Ye Yun tilted his head to look at the Intelligent Being Feiran and headed downstairs. "All you do is make bread. Stay home all day doing nothing, just hugging your computer and tinkering. Can't you learn to cook?"

"You're a man. If you don't learn to cook and master some culinary skills, how are you going to conquer a beauty's stomach and then capture her heart?"

Feiran, still bowing her head and tinkering with her computer, didn't look up. She simply pointed to the long table beside her, as if to say breakfast was on the table.

"I use my looks to conquer beauties."

He yawned, pulled out a chair, sat down, grabbed a piece of bread, and stuffed it into his mouth, taking an occasional sip of milk.

"Heh."

To that.

Feiran only let out a cold laugh. "After breakfast, go bring those intelligent warriors back for me."

"Not going."

Ye Yun swallowed the food in his mouth and refused her very firmly.

Didn't she have hands?

"Really not going?"

Feiran set down her computer, lifted her head, and fixed her beautiful eyes on him in silent stare.

"Just take the Chip yourself and install it. Isn't that enough?"

Ye Yun put down the bread in his hand and picked up the glass of milk.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

She looked Ye Yun up and down, her eyes full of unreadable meaning, and said, "Fine, if you're not going, I'll go myself."

"Hold on. Someone's coming."

Just then.

Ye Yun's ears twitched slightly as he heard the sound of a car approaching from afar.

As he spoke.

The Intelligent Being Feiran had a bow and arrow in her hands, the arrow already nocked and aimed at the direction of the door.

"Four people."

After the car stopped, the sound of four pairs of feet stepping on the ground came through. Ye Yun slowly set down his milk glass, rose from his seat, and with a flick of his right hand, the Laser Sword appeared in his grip. He turned to look at Feiran: "Go inside the house first, so you don't get caught in the crossfire."

"Alright."

Feiran nodded slightly, not refusing, and followed his arrangement.

They had discussed it before.

Whenever combat of this sort arose, she absolutely could not hold Ye Yun back.

"Creak."

The sound of the Ancient Castle's main door being pushed open rang out.

"Whoosh."

The next moment.

The Intelligent Being Feiran's already-nocked arrow shot out like a bolt of lightning.

And Ye Yun stamped off the ground, lunging forward like a leopard on the hunt.

He leaped high into the air, the Laser Sword in his hand crashing down like Mount Tai pressing down from above, carrying immense force.

"Careful, danger."

A female voice rang out.

Then a flash of blue light streaked past.

It directly shattered the whistling arrow, and at the critical moment, raised a Laser Sword to block the incoming attack.

As the words fell.

An extremely powerful force surged from that Laser Sword.

Ye Yun couldn't hold it for even a second before she was sent flying by the terrifying strength carried on the blade.

She crashed onto the Cold Ground, rolling uncontrollably.

"Thud, thud."

A pair of feet, leaving afterimages in the air, whistled toward Ye Yun.

Seeing the incoming attack.

He spun and kicked back.

His speed was so fast it even surpassed those afterimage-trailing feet.

"Bam."

A dull sound rang out.

Ye Yun, with his longer legs and greater speed, landed the blow on the enemy first.

In an instant.

That small figure flew sideways like a kite with a broken string.

He quickly closed in, the Laser Sword in his hand slashing down at the airborne figure.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Three icy arrows shot out from within the Ancient Castle once more, their targets clearly the still-downed Ye Yun outside the castle, and the two terrified professors, Jianjie and Qin Hui.

This was the coordination between Ye Yun and the Intelligent Being Feiran.

If there were many enemies, she would pin them down while Ye Yun first eliminated those temporarily incapacitated.

"Qiao'er."

Professor Jianjie, seeing the sudden turn of events and the afterimage of the Laser Sword slashing down at the little loli Qiao'er, called out in panic.

"Shing, clang, clang, clang."

Hearing that familiar voice and recalling whose signature move the Shadowless Kick was, Ye Yun, just as the Laser Sword was about to strike Ye Qiao'er's neck, abruptly pulled the blade back and swung it to deflect the arrows speeding toward the three.

"Slap."

The sound of slippers hitting the ground rang out.

After steadying himself, Ye Lin looked at Professor Jianjie and Professor Qin Hui standing at the door, then glanced down at Ye Qiao'er—sprawled on the ground, arcs of electricity flickering across her, already incapacitated—and at Ye Yun beside her, who had just gotten up. He sheathed his Laser Sword: "Where are your manners? Don't you know that not knocking gets you killed?"

No matter what, he would first extract himself from the incident of injuring people.

"You—"

Ye Yun stepped in front of her Hot Mom and Professor Qin, glaring furiously at the one who had attacked them.

"I'm sorry, we forgot to knock. Please forgive us."

Professor Qin Hui finally snapped out of it, his haggard face full of urgency as he quickly apologized.

Now that they needed a favor, they had to keep their attitude low.

Besides.

They really had been in the wrong just now.

"Qiao Er."

Professor Jianjie, on the other hand, didn't bother with many words. She hurried over to check on the Blue Lolita (Ye Qiao Er) lying on the ground, still crackling with arcs of electricity.

"Come in."

Ye Yun glanced at them, utterly baffled as to why these people would come running to Linji Island for no reason.

But seeing the haggard urgency on Professor Qin Hui's face, he had a vague guess.

He wasn't sure, though.

"Alright."

Professor Qin Hui nodded, quickly crouching down to examine Ye Qiao Er's condition: "Professor Jian, is Qiao Er alright?"

"Can't tell yet."

Professor Jian's eyes were full of anxiety as she lifted Qiao Er from the ground and carried her toward the Ancient Castle.

The other party's attack had been too strong.

One strike, and Qiao Er had lost all ability to move.

Ye Yun and Professor Qin also headed inside the Ancient Castle.

"What's going on with them?"

Seeing Professors Qin Hui and Jianjie following behind Ye Yun, Intelligent Being Feiran came down from the second floor with a bow in hand, speaking in surprise.

"How should I know? Lucky my reflexes were good, or else you'd be shooting them all dead."

Ye Yun shrugged, glancing down at his shoes: "What a pain. Didn't even finish breakfast, and now I've ruined a pair of shoes. Just my luck."

He really did feel like the unluckiest guy around.

Not only did he have to get up early, but now he'd wrecked a pair of shoes. Tell me that's not bad luck.

"A suit with slippers—only you would pull something like that."

Intelligent Being Feiran looked at the flip-flops on his feet and shook her head.

Only This Guy Ye Yun would think of it.

A suit with flip-flops.

"I just got out of the shower, alright? Everyone, have a seat."

Ye Yun spread his hands, then turned to Professor Jianjie and Professor Qin Hui: "Her condition shouldn't be too serious. I didn't go all out."

"Not too serious? You nearly wrecked her, and you say it's not too serious."

Ye Yun's words made Ye Yun's face burn with anger.

Saying it's not too serious when she's practically scrap metal—are you kidding me?

"He really didn't go all out. If he had, Blue Lolita would already be a pile of parts. And this is your own fault—don't you know how to knock?"

Intelligent Being Feiran's eyes flashed, and she raised her longbow at Ye Yun, her right hand drawing the string as an arrow materialized in an instant. Her voice was icy: "Remember, this is my turf. If you want a fight, ask my bow first."

"You think I'm scared of you?!"

Ye Yun flicked her wrist, and a Laser Sword appeared in her hand, her gaze cold as she stared at Feiran.

"Alright, alright, Feiran. I'm apologizing to you here. It was our fault—we shouldn't have barged in without knocking. Please don't be angry."

Seeing the Tense Atmosphere between Feiran and Ye Yun, Professor Qin Hui quickly stepped between them.

But neither showed any sign of backing down.

"Xiao Yun, do it for Uncle Qin's sake, okay?"

Professor Qin Hui looked at the furious Ye Yun and quickly gestured for her to lower her hand: "We still need to save Xiao Yan. Do it for Uncle Qin, alright?"

Then.

He turned to Feiran: "Xiao Ran, do it for me, okay?"

"That's enough." Ye Yun reached out and pressed down on Intelligent Being Feiran's shoulder, lowering her drawn bow as he whispered in her ear.

"Hmph."

Seeing Feiran lower her bow, Ye Yun put away her Laser Sword as well.

"Everyone, have a seat."

Ye Yun forced a smile onto his handsome face: "Xiao Pi, Xiao Ka, serve tea."

"You can discuss whatever it is with Feiran. I'm having breakfast first."

He smiled at Professor Qin Hui and Professor Jianjie, then sat back down to continue eating.

"And Feiran...?"

Professor Qin Hui looked uncertainly at Feiran sitting beside him, always feeling something was off, and probed cautiously.

"Old Hu made this intelligent warrior based on Feiran to guard the Ancient Castle. Don't provoke her. Inside the castle, every attack carries maximum force. As long as the castle's energy isn't cut off, even the intelligent warrior called 'God,' Jie Xing, could be worn down and killed by her."

Ye Yun explained to Professor Qin Hui and the others while eating bread.

"Hiss."

Upon hearing this.

Professor Qin Hui couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath, shock filling his eyes: "The teacher truly is the Child of the Era, to have left such a powerful guardian in the Ancient Castle."

"And you?"

Ye Yun asked tentatively from the side.

The truth was, his power was too great.

But judging by his appearance and behavior, he didn't seem like an intelligent being at all.

"He's definitely human."

Just then.

A cold voice came from upstairs, saying: "Professor Qin Hui, Professor Jianjie, have you forgotten the promise you made back then?"

Professors Qin Hui and Jianjie looked up toward the source of the voice.

They saw a woman with a silver braid, her front bangs sparse and barely covering her brows, two strands of silver hair falling to her cheeks. Her bra strap slipped down from her jade-white neck, her chest wrapped in a deep blue bellyband covering the vital parts, and she wore long pants reaching her heels. Her eyes were deep, like a starry sky. She stood on the second-floor corridor, looking down at everyone.

"This..."

Upon hearing this.

Professors Qin Hui and Jianjie's expressions shifted slightly, clearly remembering something.

Once you left Linji Island, you couldn't return.

Even if you did return, you couldn't come back to the Ancient Castle, lest you expose the information of the Initial Source Code.

"Xiao Ran, it's like this. We had no choice. Xiao Yan was captured by Jie Xing of Duyizhi. He demanded that Professor Jian hand over the Firewall Program and Crazy Fist's Intelligent Chip, or they would kill Xiao Yan. I had no other option but to seek out Professor Jianjie. Professor Jian also agreed to trade the Firewall Program and Crazy Fist's chip to get Xiao Yan and the others back."

"But we were also afraid that if we handed over the Firewall Program and Crazy Fist's chip to Jie Xing, they wouldn't release the hostages. That's why we came to Linji Island's Ancient Castle to seek your help."

Professor Qin Hui quickly explained the reason for their arrival at Linji Island's Ancient Castle, his haggard face full of anxiety: "Please, help me, save Xiao Yan. She's still just a child."

"No way? She really got captured?"

After hearing Professor Qin Hui's account, the intelligent being Feiran looked at Ye Yun in disbelief: "You really are a jinx. Don't tell me you were in cahoots with Jie Xing?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just gave Xiang Mao a friendly warning. How was I supposed to know she'd actually get hijacked by Jie Xing along with Supersonic? Can you blame me for that?"
