They arrived at the place where Little Wolf was trapped. Beneath the electric net, Little Wolf saw Xue Xi and rose to lunge toward her, only to be shocked back down again. Xue Xi immediately spun around and slapped Venina, who was controlling the net, across the face.
"I'm right here, and you're still shocking my pet in front of me? Have you got a death wish? Do you still want to complete the deal or not? Huh?"
Li Yao hurriedly stopped Venina, whose face was twisted with venom. The fat on his face twitched as he gritted out a few words: "Hurry up. Don't forget about the bomb."
Xue Xi pulled out the formula she'd written on the way over and tossed it to them. Li Yao immediately examined it, while Venina glared at Xue Xi with murderous intent, clutching the bomb's remote in case she tried to rescue Little Wolf.
For a moment, the scene fell quiet. No one noticed Luo Feng quietly disappear.
Flying underground, Luo Feng held the black pot from atop Xue Xi's head and practiced a few times, pretending to pick it up. He marveled at the wonder of Xue Xi's spatial equipment. "At first, I really thought it was a black baseball cap. Who knew it was a magical pot like this, with so much space inside? I'll have to get one myself someday. It's so convenient."
He used his psychic power to drive a flying blade upward through the earth. With a soft pfft, Luo Feng sprang out and hid behind the wolf. The Universe Pot appeared in his hand, and he clapped it over the unconscious Little Wolf. His psychic power surged. "Retrieve!" In an instant, the enormous Silver Moon Fierce Wolf vanished from inside the electric net, leaving only a dark pit.
Only after receiving Luo Feng's message through his psychic power did Xue Xi relax. She kept her eyes on Venina, who was still on guard against her, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled into a dangerous smile.
Venina's heart gave a lurch. That slap just now had left her with a bit of a psychological scar, and she demanded, without much confidence, "What are you smiling at?"
Li Yao looked up as well. After studying the formula for a long while, he couldn't see it as anything but an ordinary brewing recipe. He was just about to question her.
Xue Xi rolled her neck, feeling the combat buff still coursing through her body. "Honestly, you two could've done anything else, but you just had to play the villains. I'm not a bloodthirsty person, but you've forced me to take this step. Fine, then. I'll give you what you want."
Li Yao sensed the killing intent in Xue Xi's eyes. He snatched the remote from Venina and made as if to press it. "Don't push me! Otherwise, your precious pet will be blown to pieces! Besides, Councilman Yan Hai is on our side. If you kill us, you'll pay for it!"
Hearing Li Yao's childish threat, Xue Xi tilted her head and smiled. "Oh, really? Want to hear yourself say that again?" She shifted to the side, revealing the view behind her.
"H-How could this be? When did he—? It's that Psychic kid. But how did he do it?" Li Yao pressed the detonator several times in disbelief, but nothing happened. He couldn't understand it. With all his experience, he'd never imagined that spatial equipment could exist in this world.
But Xue Xi had no time to explain anything to two corpses. With the tenfold attack boost from the Lamb Paomo, she used her psychic power to drive the razor-sharp Coiled Dragon Blade straight through the head enclosed in Li Yao's Black God Suit.
The tall figure fell, kicking up a cloud of dust. Venina's pupils contracted. She simply couldn't believe that the man who'd been plotting to retire just half a day ago was now lying dead before her.
Tears streamed from Venina's eyes as she let out a scream. "Yao!" Then she rushed to Li Yao's corpse and began to weep bitterly.
Slightly unsettled, Xue Xi looked at the scene in exasperation. "The way you're crying, you'd think I was the villain here. Forget it. I might as well send you two off together."
The kindhearted Xue couldn't bear the sight of a couple being torn apart. She swung her blade again, letting them reunite underground.
After Luo Feng saw Xue Xi take care of the two, he walked over with the Universe Pot in his hands. Seeing that her face was a little pale, he asked, "Are you all right, Xue Xi? Here—Little Wolf is asleep inside."
Xue Xi turned away from the rather nauseating sight and took the Universe Pot. Worried, she checked on Little Wolf. When she saw he was only asleep, she poured in another potful of Highland Barley Wine and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine. I'm just not quite used to it yet. Oh, and thanks for warning me in time. Otherwise, Little Wolf would've been in danger."
Watching Xue Xi conjure water out of thin air and carefully wipe down the Coiled Dragon Blade, Luo Feng also felt relieved. "It was a coincidence. On my way to get that Highland Barley Wine, I happened to see those two sneaking around and following Little Wolf from a distance. I kept an eye on them, and it turned out they really dared to make a move."
He looked at the two corpses on the ground, still locked in each other's arms, and frowned. "By the way, will their deaths cause any problems?"
Xue Xi shook her head. "I'm not sure, but let them come. I'll handle whatever they throw at me. I hate people who pull underhanded tricks behind your back."
After hastily tidying up the scene, the two headed back toward the restaurant. The place where Li Yao and Venina had died was empty and silent. Only a satellite in space watched it intently.
