Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Last night, she slept in my room

His voice was like thunder, his aura like a rainbow.

Liu Yitong strode forward.

"Brother Liu?!" Xu Yanran’s eyes grew warm when she saw who it was.

Liu Yitong smirked pretentiously. "Junior Sister, it looks like I’m not too late."

The Northwest Four Ghosts stared at Liu Yitong with grim expressions.

"Who is this idiot?"

"No idea!"

"Kill him!"

The four weren’t nearly as polite to men. Licking their lips with a bloodthirsty gleam in their eyes, they all charged at Liu Yitong.

"You’re courting death!" Liu Yitong’s skills were mediocre, but his ability to pose was another matter entirely. He wielded a sharp sword with flashy moves and actually managed to block the four’s attacks for a moment. "You dare touch my Junior Sister without asking me, Liu Yitong?"

Liu Yitong shouted fiercely, his sword sweeping out to force back the Third and Fourth Brother.

Just as he was about to unleash his ultimate move, the Eldest Brother kicked him, sending him flying several meters before he crashed to the ground, unable to get up.

"You little trash, you think you’re some dame I have to be polite to?"

"Die!" The four swept in again like a vicious whirlwind.

Liu Yitong struggled to his feet and dodged with difficulty, looking as disheveled and pathetic as one could be. He shouted with all his might, "Junior Sister, run! I’ll handle things here! Run—"

"Third and Fourth Brother, go get that chick!" the Eldest Brother ordered. "Don’t let her escape. We four brothers are going to have a good time later!"

The Third and Fourth Brother pounced toward Xu Yanran once again.

Xu Yanran gritted her teeth, ready to fight to the death.

Suddenly, two shrieks rang out as the two charging men dropped to the ground, a tiny dot of blood appearing between each of their eyebrows.

"Trespassing in the middle of the night and disturbing my rest... So uncivilized," a lazy voice suddenly sounded.

Instantly, everyone’s gaze snapped toward the stairs. They saw a lean, tall figure yawning as he walked down, his face full of impatience and irritation.

Chen Xiao?

Xu Yanran’s heart trembled.

Chen Xiao glanced at Xu Yanran indifferently. "Is this trouble you caused?"

Xu Yanran’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she said nothing.

"I’ll settle the score with you later," Chen Xiao muttered, several Silver Needles appearing in his hand.

"Kid, who are you?! How dare you kill our Third and Fourth Brother!"

Chen Xiao couldn’t be bothered with him. The Silver Needles in his hand turned into threads of silver light and shot out, a storm of shimmering rain sweeping through the air. The hair on the necks of the Eldest and Second Brother stood on end. They rolled away to dodge the incoming Silver Needles, but Liu Yitong, who couldn’t dodge in time, screamed as a needle pierced his thigh.

"Kid, you..." he roared, furious.

"Sorry, friendly fire," Chen Xiao apologized perfunctorily, then his figure vanished on the spot.

Such incredible speed!

The Eldest and Second Brother felt their scalps tingle.

Chen Xiao was already in front of them.

He threw a punch. Second Brother’s eyes bulged, and he flew backward, spitting blood as he died.

"Second Brother!" Seeing all three of his sworn brothers die at Chen Xiao’s hands, the Eldest Brother’s eyes turned crimson. He roared, "I’ll fight you to the—"

A terrible, murderous aura erupted from him as he charged, his fist aimed at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao sent a heavy slap across his face.

CRACK!

His head rotated a full one hundred and eighty degrees, and he fell to the ground, dead...

The scene became utterly silent, the only sounds being the rapid breathing of Xu Yanran and Liu Yitong.

In just over ten seconds, the notoriously ferocious and powerful Northwest Four Ghosts—so formidable they even gave Dragon Soul headaches—had been completely annihilated?

She had almost been killed fighting just the weakest of them, the Fourth Brother! Yet this guy had wiped out all four of them effortlessly?

Seeing Xu Yanran’s shocked and even admiring gaze, Liu Yitong snapped out of his own stupor and snorted coldly. "Kid, don’t get ahead of yourself. If I hadn’t worn them down and depleted most of their strength, do you think you could have just swooped in and defeated them? But I’ve always been generous, so I can’t be bothered to fight you for the credit."

Chen Xiao: "..."

Is this guy’s skin made of a fortress wall?

Liu Yitong limped over to Xu Yanran, acting like a fawning puppy. "Junior Sister, are you all right?"

"I’m... I’m fine." Xu Yanran dazedly pulled her gaze back.

For some reason, Chen Xiao’s current silhouette strangely overlapped with the figure from that night at the Jianghai Gang! The same lazy indifference, the same roguish irreverence...

Hissing, Liu Yitong grimaced in pain. "Junior Sister, my leg hurts so much!"

Chen Xiao said flatly, "Stop acting. My Silver Needle didn’t hit any vitals; you’ll recover in a few days. By the way... did you go to the hospital to check if your eggs were scrambled? Still hurts?"

Chen Xiao’s words made Liu Yitong’s heart spasm with rage.

Xu Yanran rebuked coldly, "Chen Xiao! Do you always have to bring up sore subjects?"

Chen Xiao yawned. "I’m going to get some rest. If you’re not dying, then scram."

Liu Yitong laughed coldly. "Junior Sister, you see? This guy truly doesn’t know what’s good for him! If I hadn’t shown up today, he would’ve been a stinking corpse by now, thanks to the Northwest Four Ghosts’ brutal methods!

"Now, listen to him. Does he even sound human?

"Hmm? Right... Junior Sister, why are you two living in the same villa?" he suddenly asked, having just remembered.

Xu Yanran’s face turned red. "Brother Liu, I’ll explain it to you later."

Liu Yitong’s expression turned as ugly as if he had eaten shit. "Junior Sister... you, you used to hate him so much. Now you..."

Xu Yanran was getting impatient. "Brother Liu, this is my private affair!"

Liu Yitong felt both heartbroken and frustrated.

He had come to save his goddess, only to discover she was living with another man? Was there anyone in the world more aggrieved than him?

Just then, Chen Xiao spoke casually. "Our relationship isn’t as simple as just living together.

"Last night, she slept in my room."

Liu Yitong’s eyes widened as he looked at Xu Yanran in agony. "Junior Sister Xu, tell me this isn’t true! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe...

"How could you..."

Xu Yanran was speechless. She was a terrible liar, and besides, Chen Xiao wasn’t wrong.

Seeing Xu Yanran’s hesitation, Liu Yitong clutched his chest in agony. "It seems it’s true... Junior Sister, you’ve disappointed me so much! I came all this way to protect you, and in the end...

"I’m just a joke!"

It hurt too much! It felt like an honor student discovering the school beauty he’d long adored had been defiled by some street punk; the pain was immense! He could even imagine how many positions they had used last night, how many rounds they had gone... The more he thought about it, the paler his face became.

"Brother Liu, you’ve really misunderstood." Xu Yanran’s heart softened. She helped him up again and was about to explain when a small box suddenly fell out of Liu Yitong’s pocket.
