"Alright. Jiaozi will be obedient." Jiaozi nodded and then covered her eyes with her tentacles.
Just as Jiaozi finished speaking, a series of explosions suddenly erupted in the distance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the ground trembled beneath them, Yao Ran and Long Yu exchanged glances. A second later, both of them sprinted out of the room as fast as they could.
By the time they came out from the underground restricted area, the entire building was in chaos.
Taking advantage of the situation, Yao Ran and Long Yu sneaked back into the white room and climbed up into the air ventilation. As they crawled out through the secret entrance, the ground shook again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another series of explosions erupted from the underground. Feeling the heat rising from the secret entrance, Long Yu grabbed Yao Ran by the waist, carried her in his arms, and rushed out of the small store.
The moment he stepped outside, fire burst from the secret entrance.
Boom! Whoosh!
The heat wave from the explosion destroyed the small store, sending debris and dust flying everywhere.
Shielding Yao Ran with his body, Long Yu activated his wind element ability, forming a protective barrier to block the heat and flying debris.
Nestled in Yao Ran's arms, Jiaozi trembled in fear, muttering, "Mommy… I want my mommy…"
As the dust settled, Long Yu looked down at Yao Ran and worriedly asked, "Ran Ran, are you alright?"
Yao Ran nodded. "How about you?"
"I'm fine."
Just when he said that, the scent of blood reached Yao Ran's nose. Instantly, her eyes flickered with concern and she said, "You are injured."
Before Long Yu could respond, she handed Jiaozi to him and checked his back. Seeing blood staining his clothes, her expression darkened.
She quickly pulled out a bottle of lake water from her space and said, "A Yu, drink this."
As Long Yu drank, Yao Ran took out iodine and carefully cleaned his wounds. By the time she finished, the injuries had already begun to heal.
Feeling relieved, she looked at the surroundings and said, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go."
Taking Long Yu's hand, she led him away from the street. After finding a safe place to rest, she retrieved a fresh set of clothes and handed them to him. "A Yu, you should change your clothes."
Taking Jiaozi from his arms, she passed the clothes to Long Yu, then pressed the communication device in her ear.
After waiting for a moment, Wu Yehao's anxious voice came through. "Eldest Young Lady, are you alright? Where are you now?"
Hearing his questions, Yao Ran calmly answered, "We are fine. We are resting near the small store. Where are you guys?"
