Chen Jingrui gave up the front position to Leng Changxi. He squinted, observing his performance.

“You’d better step back a little. I’m afraid I’ll hurt you by mistake.” These days, Leng Changxi had been learning to control the powerful genuine energy in his body under the guidance of Mengman. But according to Mengman’s feedback, his efforts didn’t seem to have an ideal payback. Otherwise, Chen Jingrui wouldn’t have chosen Leng Changxi to sacrifice at the last minute.

“You better hurt me,” Chen Jingrui said, but ordered someone to push his wheelchair back. “The hurting to me proves that you have some abilities.”

Leng Changxi sneered coldly and didn’t speak. He stepped in front of the Duanlong gate. The huge gate was like a huge wave breaking through the sky, and Leng Changxi, who stood in front of it, was as small as a flatboat in the ocean. Qin Yunuan stood behind Leng Changxi, holding Leng Changxi’s arm tightly with her hands. She was a little scared.

“Don’t be afraid,” Leng Changxi turned his head and whispered in Qin Yunuan’s ear at a volume that only the two people could hear, “No matter what happens later, just hold me, and I will take you to a safe place. Now, three steps away from me. I’m afraid I will hurt you.”

Qin Yunuan did what she was told to. She had always believed in Leng Changxi, always and forever.

Leng Changxi’s legs separated slightly, and when he closed his eyes and concentrated, everyone seemed to feel the wind around him. There was a lingering air current surrounding the Duanlong gate. Even Mengman couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Leng Changxi had such strong genuine energy. Why did he never find the terrifying strength of it when he taught Leng Changxi these three days?

God, had he been hiding his true strength? Mengman claimed to be able to see through people. No one can fool his eyes, but Leng Changxi still…

Just when Mengman had a bad premonition, Leng Changxi suddenly took out his palm. His hand made out a strong wind, which seemed to hover in the air like a golden dragon roaring. After wandering in the clouds, it ran towards the Duanlong gate like raptors. However, the Duanlong gate was worth its name. It could stand upright under the powerful attack of this dragon’s head and claws. But very quickly, as the whole dragon rushed into the gate, it made a loud sound similar to the sky and the earth bursting and almost deafened everyone.

At that moment, Qin Yunuan seemed to see the Duanlong gate gradually cracking. Leng Changxi succeeded. Suddenly thinking of Leng Changxi’s instructions to her, Qin Yunuan stepped forward and hugged Leng Changxi. Between the piles of falling rocks, Leng Changxi held Qin Yunuan’s hands and drew her to his back. They avoided the countless falling rocks and ran directly into the door.

Chen Jingrui reacted at once, pointing at the two people and shouting, “Come, catch up with those two people. They wanted to go in first. Stop them for me.”

As soon as he uttered the words, Mengman pushed a few slaves forward. But they were smashed to death by the rock without taking a few steps.

Everything was in chaos. As the Duanlong gate broke, more and more rocks fell. Even Chen Jingrui was almost injured. In desperation, he could only give a temporary order for everyone to find shelters.

Behind the Duanlong gate, Leng Changxi took Qin Yunuan to a safe place. It was a recessed corner on the inner side of the gate. Outside there was the sound of falling stones. When Leng Changxi made his last move, he had already calculated the situation of the falling stones, so the two were unscathed.

“Cha should be moving.” Leng Changxi calculated the time. For safety reasons and also to save trouble, Chen Jingrui only brought Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan. As for Cha’s team of five and Elder Princess, they were all under strict supervision in the tribe. But now Chen Jingrui took away most of the young and middle-aged labor from the tribe. Only some women and children were taking care of them. Before leaving, Leng Changxi handed a dagger to Cha secretly. The two agreed that after four hours of departure, Cha could help save himself. It happened to be at this time when Chen Jingrui had no spare effort to take care of someone who escaped in the tribe.

The Duanlong gate was tall and huge, making it difficult to make out a path when the gate broken into countless stones. The movement outside was finally stopped. Behind the pile of debris, Qin Yunuan could vaguely hear Chen Jingrui ordering the slaves angrily to move the stones.

Leng Changxi held the wall. His face seemed a little pale.

“Changxi?” Qin Yunuan stepped forward and patted Leng Changxi’s cold chest with concern. Gosh. Leng Changxi’s body had never been so cold before, “Changxi, do you feel uncomfortable?”

Leng Changxi’s forehead was already sweating, “The Qigong of the Tongming Gate needed much yang energy. To break the Duanlong gate, I dispatched too much yang at a time. Now my genuine energy was unstable, running around in the body. I had to treat it now.”

“Okay,” Qin Yunuan was already distressed, “I will help you in. There is a lot of space inside. Let’s find a place to rest.”

“No,” Leng Changxi waved his hand, “No one comes in the Weapon Factory all year round, and the person who designed the surrounding arrangements and institutions was Chen Wan. She was careful, and there must be traps. Don’t go in rashly. I’m afraid you will have trouble.”

She just couldn’t make him comfortable either way. It was the first time that Qin Yunuan saw Leng Changxi so severely injured, and it was also the first time that she felt a little panicked.

“Then I will accompany you to find a more comfortable place to stay first. People outside are cleaning the Duanlong Stone for at least one day or as long as three days.”

“Well,” Leng Changxi seemed to say to himself, “one day is enough.”

After Leng Changxi finished speaking, he was half unconscious with a weak breath. Qin Yunuan gritted her teeth and looked at the still bright sunshine outside. In comparison, the air was moist inside with a mold smell. Qin Yu Nuan’s scalp tingled. Something was staring at them in the dark.

Qin Yunuan had always been afraid of the dark. When in Prince Ning’s Mansion, she always asked Maner to light her small lamp before going to sleep. Arriving at the Ghost City of North Di, she and Leng Changxi couldn’t afford kerosene that could be light up for the whole night. Leng Changxi would put his arms around her and stroke her back. Little by little, Leng Changxi didn’t leave until she fell asleep to make her feel at ease after knowing that. Now Qin Yunuan was a weak woman, dragging Leng Changxi’s heavy body. However, she walked into the boundless darkness resolutely.

Qin Yunuan dragged Leng Changxi, looking for a dry flat ground to sit down. She squinted at the structure inside with the rays of sunlight coming in from the outside. This was a very long corridor, enough for two carriages to drive side by side, and there were torches on the walls that had not been used for a long time. These torches must have shone brightly and brilliantly on the corridor twenty years ago. The corridor seemed to have no end. No one knew what its end was. Endless treasure? Advanced weapons? Or death?

After settling Leng Changxi down, Qin Yunuan stood on tiptoe and walked along with the torches. The kerosene on the top of the torch was already dry and wouldn’t burn at all. Fortunately, heaven never seals off all the exits. Qin Yunuan found a half-lit fire-scroll from one of the torch bowls. She blew it carefully and put it around her waist. Maybe she could use it later.

Leng Changxi didn’t know how long it took him to wake up again, but when he did, he felt that something was pressing on his chest. Inside the gate, it was much colder. Leng Changxi felt that his limbs were extremely cold, but there were waves of heat on his chest. It was petite, but continuously warming him.

He moved a little, finding that it was not someone else lying on his chest but his little hedgehog. To warm him, Qin Yunuan simply untied Leng Changxi’s clothes and took off her outer shirt. Under the cover of clothes, Qin Yunuan used the temperature of her chest directly to warm the exhausted Leng Changxi.

Those two breasts pressed softly and gently on Leng Changxi’s chest, and they were warm. Leng Changxi, who was still stiff and numb, suddenly had a strange reaction, especially when he saw his little hedgehog’s shoulders, partly hidden and partly visible. The flames of his lower body shot up high.

Qin Yunuan noticed Leng Changxi’s movements and shrugged. Her white and sleek shoulders moved like a little steamed bun, which made Leng Changxi covet even more and felt that Qin Yunuan had become cuter.

“Are you awake?” Qin Yunuan opened her eyes but didn’t get up. With her watery big eyes wide open, she asked about his situation.

“Yeah.” Leng Changxi’s voice was a little fuzzy, and Qin Yunuan didn’t hear clearly, so she slid forward, “Are you okay?”

It didn’t matter at first, but Qin Yu Nuan’s squeeze happened to tease Leng Changxi’s most sensitive place. Leng Changxi smiled bitterly in his heart. If it hadn’t been that he had consumed too much physical energy before, Qin Yunuan should have been ravaged by him a long time ago. He had to let this little hedgehog know how exciting her every move was.

“It was okay, but now, it doesn’t seem to be great.” Leng Changxi looked at Qin Yunuan with a smirk. Just as Qin Yunuan was still confused, Leng Changxi directly pulled Qin Yunuan’s little hand towards his lower part.

“Do you feel it?” Leng Changxi’s tone was somewhat charming.

Qin Yunuan’s expression became embarrassed when she spotted Leng Changxi’s hard object. She hurriedly got up and dressed, but Leng Changxi’s molested words jumped out in bursts, “It seemed that you felt it. I’m okay, but it doesn’t look good.”

Qin Yunuan knew the “it” Leng Changxi was referring to. She dressed up cutely and tied Leng Changxi’s top and belt in a seemingly casual manner, “It seemed that you have recovered. Now that you are babbling all those jokes, we should leave soon. A long delay may cause trouble.”

Leng Changxi really felt his physical strength had recovered a lot. He sat up cross-legged for a while and suddenly sensed that the chaotic genuine energy in his body seemed to have gradually replaced. After the overloaded use, his genuine energy didn’t seem to decrease but increased. It seemed that the skill of Tongming Gate was really weird and worth studying.

Qin Yunuan helped Leng Changxi up. It was dark in the front. Qin Yunuan had to take out the fire-scroll that she had wiped for a long time, and said helplessly, “I only found this. It’s still damp, and it can’t be used.”

“Let’s try.” Leng Changxi squeezed the fire-scroll. He only blew it twice, and a cluster of fire came out, shining the place brightly, “It seems to be very useful.” Leng Changxi said casually, but Qin Yunuan was stunned.

“It wasn’t the fire-scroll I found.”
