TSFLIP Chapter 522

“Fengguang…” Nan Xiaoxiao called out pitifully, her voice soft and pleading.

Fengguang looked over at Xu Wang and gently tugged on his sleeve. She didn’t need to say a word—he immediately understood. He didn’t like Nan Xiaoxiao. To put it more accurately, he didn’t want anyone except Fengguang. So, he was willing to fulfill all of Fengguang’s wishes without question.

He took her hand. “Let’s go.”

And with that, he walked off with her hand in his.

Nan Xiaoxiao glanced at the men in black, then quickly hurried after them.

Those men, however, stood frozen in place, completely unable to move. Their minds were still conscious, but their bodies refused to respond. All they could do was watch helplessly as Nan Xiaoxiao walked away.

They were Chen Yu’s elite bodyguards, among the top-tier in skill. Yet in the presence of that man’s released spiritual power, they couldn’t even resist for a moment. Since when did the Alliance have someone with power that terrifying?

No matter how much they speculated, they would never guess that this man was the same Ye Mo who had supposedly been imprisoned for ten years—a name that lived only in legend.

Xu Wang and Fengguang didn’t try to drive Nan Xiaoxiao away, so naturally she followed them back to the hotel. As soon as they reached the room, she grabbed Fengguang’s hand and burst into tears.

Xu Wang stared at Nan Xiaoxiao’s hand clutching Fengguang’s, seriously considering whether dislocating it would make Fengguang angry with him. After running the numbers in his head, the conclusion was a 100% chance she would be furious. Regretfully, he dropped the idea.

“Stop crying for a second. Just tell me what happened. Weren’t you with Yan Yu?” Fengguang was starting to lose patience. Nan Xiaoxiao had been sobbing for ages without getting to the point. Honestly, ever since she started dating Xu Wang, her tolerance for anything that interrupted their lovey-dovey moments had plummeted.

Sniffling, Nan Xiaoxiao finally spoke. “That day, after Yan Yu took me out of the castle, we didn’t make it very far. He was badly hurt… and… and we ran into a swarm of Zerg. Fengguang, you know I don’t have any special powers, and Yan Yu was injured—we were no match for them.”

“And then?”

“We got captured by the Zerg. But they didn’t kill us. Instead, they tied us up and took us to… what looked like their main base. It was a planet I’d never seen before. I have no idea where it was.”

Suddenly, Xu Wang said, “The Zerg are entering their breeding season.”

There was a strange flicker in his expression as he spoke. After all, he had assumed Yan Yu and Nan Xiaoxiao would have ended up as nothing more than food for the Zerg.

You see, even someone as clever as Xu Wang couldn’t have known that the world has something called “plot armor.”

“Breeding season??” Fengguang exclaimed, her voice tinged with a strange trace of excitement.

Xu Wang, knowing exactly what she was thinking, gently patted her head and said helplessly, “It’s not what you’re imagining. The Zerg’s so-called breeding season means they implant their eggs into the warm bodies of living beings, using their body heat to incubate the larvae. And to the Zerg, no creature provides better warmth than a human.”

At that, all the bizarre thoughts about “human-beast pairings” instantly vanished from Fengguang’s mind. Now she just felt nauseated. She quickly asked Nan Xiaoxiao, “Then how did you two escape the Zerg’s nest?”

“Chen Yu rescued us,” Nan Xiaoxiao replied. “After Yan Yu went missing, the Empire sent Chen Yu to lead a mission to wipe out the Zerg. Of course, wiping them out isn’t that easy—but he happened to come across me and Yan Yu, so he brought us back to the Holy Capital.”
