The Hospital Is All My People

Inside the hospital, Ye Xinxia hid in the ward, her delicate body trembling slightly, both hands tightly gripping Ye Chang's hand on the hospital bed.

She had not been at the hospital for long when a sudden clamor and screams erupted from the street. Then Demon Beasts came running out one after another, turning everyone on the road into food.

Screams rose and fell in waves. Blood spread across the pavement under the washing rain, as if the place had become a living hell!

Ye Xinxia had already panicked when she saw the Crimson Alert. After all, how could a powerless girl like her possibly kill Demon Beasts? Not to mention her unconscious mother was right beside her.

She had no options. All she could do was stay in the ward and pray Older Brother could come back to save them both.

As for contacting him with a phone, there was no need to even think about it. If she dared use it, the Demon Beasts would come!

Fortunately, although many people had fled from the hospital earlier, it seemed no Demon Beasts had entered the hospital, so for the time being, it was still relatively safe.

Ye Xinxia quietly came to the door and carefully looked outside through the glass. The corridor was silent, without the slightest sound, but she believed there should be many people hiding in rooms just like her.

"Xinxia."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind her, scaring her so badly that she instinctively tried to cry out.

"Ah... mmph!"

The scream stuck in her throat. A large hand covered her mouth before she could shout. At first, she was extremely flustered and frightened, but when she saw who had come, she relaxed.

Cheng Xiaoyu covered Ye Xinxia's small mouth. Only after seeing that she was no longer panicking did he let go. Then he bent down and tightly hugged her full, delicate body, as if he wanted to merge her into himself.

"Ol... Older Brother... I thought I'd never..."

Feeling that warmth, Ye Xinxia also clutched Cheng Xiaoyu's back tightly, greedily breathing in Older Brother's scent. She could not help sobbing softly, her delicate body trembling nonstop.

She was only a little girl who had never seen Demon Beasts before. The instant she saw Older Brother, her taut nerves immediately snapped.

The two of them felt each other's presence, and their hearts slowly calmed. It was as though only the brother and sister remained in this world!

"Xinxia, Older Brother won't abandon you. We'll survive together."

"Mm!"

Cheng Xiaoyu had entered the ward silently with Shadow Evasion. Seeing his younger sister and Mom safe and sound, he could not help letting out a breath of relief.

He wiped Ye Xinxia's tears away, took out the rope he had prepared, and carefully tied Ye Chang onto his back.

"Let's go. I'll take you away from here."

With that, he held Ye Xinxia in his arms, carried the sleeping Ye Chang on his back, and walked straight out of the ward.

As he stepped through the corridor, the entire hospital was deathly silent, as if there was no life at all. There were no traces of Demon Beasts, nor any signs of humans.

Although Cheng Xiaoyu found it very strange, the urgent priority was to hurry to the Safe Barrier!

After leaving the hospital, they happened to find a few hunting Demon Beasts wandering nearby. The moment they saw the humans who had suddenly appeared, they immediately roared and looked over greedily.

"Don't worry."

Feeling the delicate body in his arms tremble, Cheng Xiaoyu gently patted Ye Xinxia's thigh, then spoke in a cold voice.

"Yegelite."

The next second, a figure appeared. Yegelite, holding a greatsword, stood beside Cheng Xiaoyu. The aura of a Great General instantly made all those Demon Beasts retreat, and they immediately scattered and fled.

"Older Brother, it is..."

Ye Xinxia looked at the tall, imposing Shadow Knight beside them, curiosity flickering in her Beautiful Eyes. When had Older Brother gained this kind of ability?

"Its name is Yegelite... It's my partner."

Hearing this, Yegelite placed a hand over its chest and bowed slightly, seeming extremely moved by Cheng Xiaoyu's words.

[It is my honor to become my king's partner!]

"Awooo!"

A roar suddenly rang out, shaking goosebumps across their bodies.

Cheng Xiaoyu, who was hurrying toward the Safe Barrier, abruptly turned back and looked toward the sound. Then a shocking, terrifying sight entered his eyes!

A gray sky shrouded the city. Bo City's landmark building, Yinmao Building, towered above the rest, almost touching the gray heavens.

But right at the very top of that towering building, an enormous black shadow was crouched there!

Its tail hung down along the dome of Yinmao Building, dangling nearly halfway down.

Its fleshy wings were half-spread, one half blurred within the curtain of rain, while the other half covered more than a dozen floors of the office building.

Its head was raised high, and that roar, powerful enough to shake the entire Bo City, had come from its cloud-swallowing Blood-filled Mouth.

This enormous creature crouched at the highest point. The dome of Yinmao Building could be seen from anywhere in Bo City, which meant the entire Bo City could witness this colossal monster!

"The Winged Azure Wolf?!"

Cheng Xiaoyu recognized the Demon Beast that was this massive creature. A Commander Level magic wolf had led a wolf pack to attack Bo City. No wonder the Crimson Alert had been sounded.

A faint sense of loss rose in his heart. Bo City was the hometown where he had grown up, and now that it had suffered an attack from Demon Beasts and become like this, it was inevitable that he would feel terrible.

But what could he do? He was merely a small Intermediate Level mage. In this situation, there was nothing he could do at all.

At a time like this, it was already enough as long as he protected his family's safety!

After Cheng Xiaoyu left the vicinity of the hospital, a figure appeared atop a building, her beautiful hair dancing in the light breeze. Yet the raindrops did not fall on her at all.

"Father, Xiaoyu has already taken Lord Salang and rushed to the Safe Barrier."

"All right. Have everyone stationed at the hospital withdraw. Protect Xiaoyu and the others until they reach the Safe Barrier. We'll discuss the rest after they return."

After ending the call, Mu Yanqiu stared at the tall knight beside Cheng Xiaoyu, her Beautiful Eyes filled with gravity. She was also extremely curious about just what secrets this younger brother of hers was hiding. Her raise-him-from-scratch little brother seemed to have strayed from her training plan.

After the order to withdraw was given, many people immediately ran out of the hospital. It turned out the reason no Demon Beasts had appeared in the hospital was precisely because they had been protecting it from the shadows.

Mu He put away his phone and looked toward the gray, hazy sky. The yellow rain was gradually weakening. He said, "Wu Ku, when is this disgusting rain finally going to disappear?"

Beside him, a monk in kasaya robes sat cross-legged on the ground. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said softly, "Hu Jin, don't be in such a hurry. We still haven't settled the score over you suddenly calling me here. I'd already planned not to get involved in these matters anymore. If it weren't out of consideration for Lord Salang, I wouldn't have come at all."

"Hmph, spare me that nonsense. Although we retired long ago, there are some things we can't avoid."

Mu He snorted coldly and looked toward the Winged Azure Wolf atop Yinmao Building, sighing as he said, "Ah, as expected, it was that fellow Jiu Ying's doing. He actually developed a kind of Frenzied Spring and even found a Water-Element Formation Master to set up the formation."

If not for Wu Ku, this Water-Element Disaster Victim, they probably wouldn't have been able to stop this downpour in such a short time...

"The Red Archpriest of the Huaxia Region?"

Wu Ku was slightly startled, and his brows could not help furrowing as he said, "That guy chose to set things up in Bo City... Could it be because he learned Lord Salang was here, and that's why..."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. In the end, it was Mu He who spoke and broke it.

"Probably not. I'm more inclined to think it's a coincidence. It's just a little too coincidental."

"So... are you going to save this town?"

"Heh, how could that be possible? Although I've already retired, I'm no saint. I just regret that my peaceful days are gone from now on..."
