A smile flashed across Quan Jue’s lips. He walked to the bed and lowered his head to plant an extremely doting kiss on Chi Jiao’s lips.

Satisfied, Chi Jiao gently held his hand. She smiled and said, “Brother Quan, can you hug me to sleep?”

Of course, Quan Jue couldn’t reject her request. He nodded and lifted a corner of the blanket. He went to Chi Jiao’s side and laid down. Then, he opened his arms and pulled her into them. He then gently patted her back to coax her to sleep.

Chi Jiao closed her eyes in satisfaction and quickly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in a cave in the forest in the suburbs.

Painful cries suddenly rang out in the quiet night. It was as if wild beasts were lurking in the cave. The terrifying cries echoed in the air, making one shiver.

A fire was burning in the depths of the cave. Qiao Liuli and Green Demon stared at She Qi with grim expressions.

Large scales appeared all over his body. He kept twisting on the ground in pain, as if he was about to die from the agony.

Even so, She Qi did not stop. He continued to twist his body and force the fragments out of his acupuncture points. Every time the fragments moved a little bit in She Qi’s body, they would bring him immense pain!

Pain. An unimaginable pain swept over, strongly attacking She Qi’s nerves, causing his expression to turn even uglier.

However, She Qi still clenched his fists and endured it. In the end, he couldn’t help roaring, “Quan Jue, I won’t let you off!”

All the fragments in She Qi’s body were forced out by him as soon as he finished speaking.

After doing all of this, She Qi fell to the ground weakly. Blood kept seeping out of the multiple holes on his body. He was panting heavily and looked like he had lost half his life.

Qiao Liuli, who had been waiting at the side, quickly went forward and gently helped him up. She asked with concern, “Lord She Qi, how are you feeling?”

Of course, She Qi didn’t feel good. He struggled to sit up and took the medicine she gave him. He took a few deep breaths to adjust his composure.

The pain finally eased off by a lot, but his face was still very pale. He panted heavily and said, “Damn Quan Jue and Chi Jiao. I won’t let them off. I’ll make them pay the price sooner or later.”

“Lord She Qi, your body is very weak now. Why don’t you absorb some of the Esper energy we have gathered? It can help you recover faster.” Qiao Liuli looked at him worriedly.

But She Qi glared at her impatiently when he heard this. His tone was so cold that it could freeze ice. “That energy is to resurrect Xi’er. There’s not much, to begin with. How can we waste it?”

Qiao Liuli felt a little aggrieved when she saw She Qi’s reproachful expression. “It’s just a little. Lord She Qi, you’re really too weak now. I’m worried…”

“I’m fine,” She Qi said firmly. He shook her off and stumbled to his feet. “Instead of wasting your time talking about useless things, why don’t you quickly think of a way to help me kill more Espers and snatch their energy!”
