Chapter 564: Chapter 565:
"What rescue?" Li Tingyanâs eyes filled with a hint of bloodlust as he shook off the hand Chu Zhan placed on his shoulder.
"How many times do I have to tell you? My wife wonât be in trouble; she will definitely come back safely!"
Chu Zhan sighed, "Tingyan, I know you canât accept this reality, and Iâm very upset too, but thereâs no one around right now. No matter how remarkable Nianyang is, she canât escape the crisis of nature!"
"What do you know? Others might not escape, but she can. Sheâs not a normal woman!"
Li Tingyan stubbornly said, and continued to loudly call out Nianyangâs name, "Wife, where are you? Come out quickly. Donât hide so I canât see you..."
"Creak."
A sound came intermittently from not far away!
No one noticed it!
But Li Tingyan heard it; his hearing was just as good as Nianyangâs. He followed the sound to a rocky cave.
The entrance was blocked by rocks and weeds, and there was a voice inside.
Itâs his wife!
Li Tingyanâs heart leaped with joy, and he shouted, "Come over quickly, my wifeâs here!"
Everyone heard the commotion and ran over, helping Li Tingyan to pull away the weeds and rocks from the cave entrance. Finally, after clearing it, they faced a cave just large enough for one person to walk inside.
Inside the cave, Nianyang had long heard Li Tingyanâs voice calling her name, and she was practically bouncing off the walls with eagerness.
Seeing the obstacles at the entrance gone, she dashed out excitedly, ignoring all the surprised looks, and sprinted into Li Tingyanâs arms.
"Ah Yan, I knew youâd come for me!"
Li Tingyan held the girl, who was as dirty as a mud figure, tightly in his embrace, feeling her warmth and breath. His cold heart quickly revived.
"Nini, I knew you were okay. Thatâs wonderful!"
The two spoke almost in unison without regard to the occasion, their affection making the people around them blush, and everyone turned away cooperatively!
No one imagined that the usually unstoppable demon king was so tender to his wife, seeing them so inseparable. It was truly touching!
They held each other as if for a century, and Nianyang felt Li Tingyanâs arms around her growing tighter, tight enough to make her bones ache, and protested with a hum.
"Ah Yan, youâre holding me too tight. Are you trying to strangle me?"
Only then did Li Tingyan come to his senses, loosening his grip slightly, but still unwilling to let Nianyang go.
Before, he pretended to be calm, insisting his wife was safe, when in fact, he couldnât face it!
He couldnât bear the possibility of anything happening to Nianyang, couldnât imagine if she was no longer in this world.
How would he survive?
Like a walking corpse.
Worse than death.
Thankfully, Heaven showed mercy; his Nini returned unharmed!
Chu Zhan walked over and said, "Nian girl, itâs truly great that youâre safe. Both Tingyan and I were worried sick."
Still held by Li Tingyan, Nianyang couldnât be pulled away. She tilted her head and showed her white teeth, saying,
"Sorry, Brother Chu, for making you all worried!"
Chu Zhan asked, "By the way, Nian girl, where is Shi Nuan?"
"Tsk, you finally remembered Iâm here!"
Shi Nuan hobbled out from inside. Her injured leg had been bandaged by Nianyang, and her complexion seemed to have improved a bit.
