Tang Yue paused upon hearing this, just as Tang Miao had said, it had been a very long time since they had spent such a long time together.

"I'm sorry..."

Looking up at Tang Miao, Tang Yue's words were stuck in her throat.

After giving Tang Yue a light peck, Tang Miao said, "I don't like hearing those words from you, and we don't need them between us."

Tang Yue rolled her eyes at Tang Miao and scoffed, "Aren't you ever going to get tired of this?"

Although Tang Miao's words were quite fitting, this guy was clearly there to take advantage of the situation.

"Not enough."

Tang Miao licked her lips. "I'll never get enough in this lifetime."

As she spoke, the hand that had been smoothing her hair slipped inside her collar...

The next day, Tang Miao, who had been fighting fiercely for most of the night, accepted Tang Yue's mission and arrived at the academy, originally intending to see if he could find anything. However, just as he was about to enter the academy, he happened to see someone he had saved in Bo City before.

This person seems to be named Xu Zhaoting?

Standing there, Tang Miao pondered for a moment. If she remembered correctly, this person seemed to have a rather tragic past?

Although he wasn't the type to offer help for free, this young man showed him the utmost respect.

Since they had run into each other, Tang Miao figured he should help if he could. He then followed. Whether Tang Miao would receive Tang Miao's favor today was up to fate.

At dusk... outside an abandoned factory.

Tang Miao had been following Xu Zhaoting for a day, hoping to get lucky, but unexpectedly, she actually made a profit. She actually found some scum from the Black Vatican.

However, he didn't rush to make a move, but followed behind. After all, those who appeared so far were all junior players, and there weren't any real tough opponents.

"Lulu, you stay here, I'll go in and check," Xu Zhaoting said to the girl with the high ponytail next to him.

"Don't go in, they look dangerous... Zhaoting, why are you following these people? What are those black, half-human, half-ghost things?" said Lulu, a girl with a high ponytail.

After accidentally catching a whiff of something unusual from one of the students, Xu Zhaoting seemed to have become a different person. Zhang Lulu didn't understand what had happened, so she could only follow Xu Zhaoting here.

"Don't ask anymore. You stay here. If I don't come out in ten minutes, leave immediately. Remember, don't linger here!" Xu Zhaoting said very seriously.

Zhang Lulu asked fearfully, "Zhaoting, is there any danger?"

Xu Zhaoting was actually very scared, after all, the Black Vatican was far beyond his reach. But when he thought about going to the quarantine zone to find his surviving family members, only to find a white list with the names of his father, mother, brother, and grandmother all on a blank sheet of paper... his heart was filled with hatred.

Xu Zhaoting wanted to forget those things as much as possible and live in a new environment. He also met a nice girl, and being with her made him happy, helping him to forget his pain...

But today, he caught a whiff of that scent.

The scent was emanating from a student at the Pearl Academy. When he traced it back to this location, he was shocked to discover that the student was a member of the Black Vatican.

Although he was terrified, Xu Zhaoting still decided to rush in!

Just after Xu Zhaoting went inside, a magical aura flickered within. Zhang Lulu was a little scared and wanted to go in to investigate. At that moment, a figure was seen walking straight into the factory.

"Rumble..."

A deafening clap of thunder echoed from the factory, the piercing sound causing people to instinctively cover their ears.

A man in a gray cloak was coldly watching Xu Zhaoting. Seeing that he wasn't the person they were looking for, he stomped on Xu Zhaoting's blood-soaked face and angrily said, "Damn it, you ruined our plans!"

"The priest ordered us to take this person away and leave immediately to avoid being exposed too soon," a member of the Black Vatican said hastily.

"Isn't it better to be alive as a human being than as an animal?"

Just then, Tang Miao's voice rang out, and at the same time, the group of Black Beast Demon here suddenly turned into blocks of ice.

Xu Zhaoting, who had been being stepped on, suddenly realized that the shoe had been removed from his face.

Xu Zhaoting looked at the Black Vatican members and the Black Beast Demon who had been so aggressive just moments before, now turned into ice sculptures. The leader, named Hui Yi, had at least kept his head.

"Who... who are you!?"

Looking at the situation before him, Hui Yi exclaimed in shock.

Xu Zhaoting immediately recognized the person who had just arrived. He exclaimed with relief, "Brother Tang, it's you!?"

"Yeah, you're lucky," Tang Miao replied.

Then he turned to the Hui Yi, "You beast, where is your leader this time? Take me to him, and you won't have to die."

Although there was little hope of getting any information out of him, Tang Miao still wasted some breath.

However, the result was the same; the priest simply didn't say anything.

Tang Miao didn't bother with further words, after all, this wasn't the first time he had interrogated someone from the Black Vatican. According to Tang Yue, Bai Yang, before he died, was brought to the Judgment Society and didn't dare to provide any information until his death.

"Rumble..."

Then, lightning struck, instantly blasting the ice-blocked Black Beast Demon and the priest present to smithereens.

The girl with the ponytail named Zhang Lulu also walked in at this moment. When she saw the room full of corpses, her face turned pale as she looked at the injured Xu Zhaoting, and then she ran over.

"Zhao... Zhao Ting, are you... are you alright?"

Looking at Zhang Lulu's panicked face, Xu Zhaoting felt a surge of warmth in his heart. However, he still scolded her, "Didn't I tell you? If I hadn't gone out, you would have run away? Why didn't you listen?"

Tears streamed down Zhang Lulu's face as she shook her head, saying, "I'm afraid... of losing you..."

"Alright, you should be grateful that a girl like this cared about your safety and risked her life to come in."

Tang Miao pursed his lips and added, "Also, before you have the strength, you need to learn to develop stealthily. I can save you this time, but Lady Luck won't favor you forever."

Xu Zhaoting did not refute Tang Miao's lecture at all, while Zhang Lulu cried for a while and then kept thanking Tang Miao.

Although they didn't find the big fish, they managed to avert a tragedy. And here, Tang Miao also learned about the Shadow Beast.
