Chapter 58: You Must Protect Me (Part 1)

  Chapter 58: You Must Protect Me (Part 1)

  Ye Feng was able to recover extremely quickly after being hit by Gui Lang's sneak attack, not because his cultivation had really reached the mid-Golden Dan stage as Gui Lang had thought, but because of the Nine Star Space.

  After the evil spirit entered his body, Ye Feng had actually been poisoned by the yin toxin. However, because he and the Jiuxing Space had long since merged into one, the spatial laws automatically dissolved the evil spirit.

  So Ye Feng quickly recovered to normal, and then saw Gu Nian being caught, he rushed up immediately. At the moment he caught up, his stealth technique's effect had just ended, so he suddenly appeared in front of the last ghost slave.

  Looking at Gu Nian trembling with fear in his arms, Ye Feng finally had the chance to break out in a cold sweat, previously his mind was always on high alert.

  It was at this moment that the "ding" sound rang out once again in his mind.

  "Congratulations to the space owner for directly killing four ghost slaves, this time earning 9,000 evil points, with no indirect merit value gain. Hope the space owner will continue to work hard and earn more evil points."

  Ye Feng was delighted on one hand by the huge harvest of 9,000 evil value points, and on the other hand, he also noticed a key word mentioned in the law: "Ghost Slave".

  In other words, the four people he destroyed may not have been real humans at all, but a kind of thing defined by the law as ghost slaves.

  "Law, can you tell me what a ghost slave is? Why does this thing appear in our world?"

  The law quickly gave a reply: "Since the space master's cultivation has not reached the conditions, I have nothing to report. If the space master wants to know the answer, please hurry up and improve their cultivation."

  It's just that his cultivation is not enough, and the conditions are not met. Ye Feng has long been helpless and speechless about this. The rules set by Tianyuan Zhenxian are very strange and quirky. Some conditions are very harsh, while others are very easy to meet. And some conditions are even absurd, such as having a one-night stand with an active high school girl can instantly gain 10,000 charm points.

  So Ye Feng didn't ask any more questions, since the law said so, it's better to wait until the cultivation is upgraded and then ask again. Anyway, with his current harvest of four values, it's definitely no problem to upgrade his cultivation to the middle stage of Lianqi Condensing Spirit in one go.

  Shifting his gaze to Gu Nian's pale face, who was still trembling slightly in his arms, Ye Feng really didn't know how to face this woman anymore.

  He didn't expect that the first time he would truly reveal his strength would be in front of Gu Nian.

  Two people just looked at each other, you looking at me, I looking at you, half a moment of silence, one was entangled in how to explain his extraordinary behavior, the other had not yet fully escaped from the previous shock and fear.

  Seagulls cry, waves crash against rocks, sunset falls on mountains, dusk twilight.

  After a long while, Gu Nian finally whispered in Ye Feng's arms: "Ye Feng, can you put me down first?"

  Ye Feng hastily nodded and put down Gu Nian. His mind had been preoccupied with complicated thoughts, causing him to forget that he had been holding Gu Nian half-embraced in his arms all along.

  She tidied up her clothes and smoothed out her hair, then turned to Ye Feng again and said softly, "Ye Feng, thank you for saving me."

  This time, Gu Nian's words of gratitude were not loud, but the gratitude was deep, because in Ye Feng's consciousness, another "ding" sound rang out again soon.

  "Congratulations to the space owner for gaining another 2000 points of merit, please continue to work hard and gain more merit."

  Ye Feng's heart was filled with a sigh of relief, it seemed that his hard fight hadn't been in vain. Not only had he successfully protected Gu Nian, but he also gained 2000 points of merit value.

  "Leaf Wind, I'm sure you know I have a lot of questions for you, but I also know you won't give me honest answers. Today's events, if I hadn't experienced them myself, I wouldn't believe them at all. But since I did experience them, I saw many things that I couldn't understand. To be honest, even now I'm still feeling scared and panicked. What's most unsettling for me is, what exactly are you? Can you answer this question for me? Are you really the Leaf Wind who works on construction sites?"

  Ye Feng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and took a deep drag before saying: "Miss Gu, I know today's events must seem strange, frightening, bizarre, and unbelievable to you. But all I can tell you is that I'm just Ye Feng, a small-time guy who still lives at the bottom of society, a poor kid from the countryside, nothing more. Just like you said earlier, some things are better left unasked, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. You should hurry home and get some rest now. Tomorrow when you wake up, everything will seem normal again, as if nothing had happened."

  "Is it possible? Ye Feng, do you think it's possible? Unless you erase my memory, otherwise let me forget all this as if nothing had happened, do you think it's possible? Ye Feng, I sincerely thank you for saving me, but I still hope you answer at least one question for me, which is why those four strange people wanted to catch me earlier. Don't tell me you don't know they were obviously targeting me, even an ordinary person like me could feel it, let alone someone like you who can fly and turn invisible?"

  Ye Feng was speechless, apart from the Nine Star Space, it seemed that everything that had happened before had thoroughly exposed half of his secrets to Gu Nian's eyes. He really wondered what kind of heart this Miss Gu had, so many strange and bizarre things had happened, she was tense and fearful, yet still remembered these details clearly.

  "Miss Gu, about your question, I can tell you the truth. Those four strange people earlier, I think they weren't originally targeting you specifically. Do you still remember those three men who got out of the car that blocked our way in front of the coffee shop? Two of them are acquaintances of mine, and we have some history together. These four strange people should be the ones they hired to deal with me, but later they suddenly shifted their target to you, which also left me baffled. Honestly, I really don't know why it turned out this way."

  After a moment of contemplation, he said: "Alright, Ye Feng, I believe your explanation. Those people were originally after you, but for some reason they suddenly shifted their target to me. Can I understand it this way? If it weren't for you, those people wouldn't have encountered me, and therefore wouldn't have targeted me, and all the previous events wouldn't have occurred either. Is my understanding correct?"

  Ye Feng thought to himself, if you hadn't come looking for me, none of this would have happened. But after all, Gu Nian is a woman, he didn't need to take her seriously on this matter. He nodded and said: "It can be said that way, but the matter has already passed. You also saw those four strange people being eliminated by me. Moreover, I can tell you that the two people who asked these four strange people to deal with me will be found by me, and I have a way to deal with them properly. So you can rest assured, you absolutely won't encounter such things again in the future."

  "Is it really absolute? Ye Feng, do you dare to guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen again? Forget it, I know you're actually a bit resentful in your heart. You think that if I didn't go find you, these things wouldn't have happened, right? It's pointless to argue about this now. The most pressing problem facing me now is that I feel very unsafe. If there are more people like this coming after me, what should I do? Should I hire many bodyguards to protect me? Do you think those bodyguards can really protect me? Or should I flee to a remote place and hide where no one can find me? So, Ye Feng, I must make a request of you, and you also have an obligation to agree to this request."

  "Miss Gu, actually I think this kind of thing shouldn't happen again, I guarantee it."

  "You can't guarantee, how can you be 100% sure that this kind of thing won't happen again? At least before you figure out why they suddenly shifted their target from you to me, you have an obligation to protect me. I know you're not a normal person, you have many incredible abilities, which I don't understand because my cognitive habits since childhood can only temporarily consider you as a superhero or non-human. You don't need to explain it to me, even if you do, I won't understand. I only have one request: before you figure out the ins and outs of this matter, you must accompany me every day, provide close protection for me, or I'll accompany you every day, as long as you ensure my personal safety."
