He took two steps toward us and said fiercely, âStupid girl, donât push it.â
I took two steps forward as well. âWhy not? What can you do about it? Donât forget. I have Phoenix Blood!â
I took another two steps proudly.
Tong Zhuo took two steps back, a hint of panic in his eyes.
I couldnât help but feel surprised. Just as I was about to take another step forward, Tong Zhuo shouted sternly, âStop right there! Donât move!â
I was stunned for a moment before I stopped.
Jing Tianâs figure flashed, and he suddenly rushed toward Tong Zhuo.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tong Zhuo reacted quickly and immediately countered. The two of them were entangled in a fight.
âNanxing, charge out!â Jing Tian said in a deep voice.
âAh?â I was stunned.?Charge? Where should I charge? How should I charge?
Tong Zhuo attacked while Jing Tian retreated. Jing Tian suddenly reached out his hand and pushed me, and then quickly went back to block Tong Zhuoâs attack.
I was pushed by a strong force and flew toward the wall.
âAh!â I cried out in surprise.
Jing Tian kicked Tong Zhuo away and rushed toward me. He protected me in his arms, and we crashed into the wall.
I closed my eyes tightly, thinking that we were doomed.
However, I didnât feel any pain from crashing into the wall.
I opened one eye first and then the other.
We had phased through the barrier! We were back in the same banquet hall!
I looked at Jing Tian, who nodded slightly at me. âI was right! Letâs go!â
Where should we go? I felt like my brain was empty. Fortunately, I was with Jing Tian, so I didnât need to think. I would do whatever he asked me to do. It didnât matter as long as I was with him.
âNanxing!â A shout came from behind.
I turned around and saw Tong Hui sitting on the wheelchair, driving it toward us.
The sound of footsteps came from all directions. I was so nervous that my heart seemed to have stopped beating. I followed Jing Tian instinctively.
Jing Tian pulled me into a corner, and I almost hit my head against the wall. This wall was a real wall. Fortunately, Jing Tian held me back, and I bumped my head against his chest.
Hearing his strong and violent heartbeat, my heart almost exploded.
We had never run for our lives before. Shouldnât we fight?
I raised my head to look at Jing Tian, my eyes full of doubt.?Why donât I transform? I can control the strength in my body now.
Jing Tian shook his head lightly. He put his index finger to his lips, indicating for me to keep quiet.
The footsteps outside were chaotic.
âWhere are they?â Tong Zhuo asked in a flustered voice.
No one answered him.
âLetâs split up! They donât know the terrain here at all! Search carefully. We must separate Jing Tian and Nanxing! Letâs go!â
The footsteps dispersed.
âDonât worry. They wonât be able to escape,â Tong Hui said in an obsequious tone.
âHmph! Of course, they wonât be able to escape. I didnât expect Jing Tian to interfere. How can there be a man who doesnât care about his life for a woman?!â Tong Zhuoâs voice was cold.
âWhen two people are in love, they can die for each other. Tong Zhuo, you have to separate them. If they succeed, the Phoenix Blood will be ruined!â Tong Hui ordered anxiously.
âDo you think I need you to tell me that?â Tong Zhuo shouted impatiently.
Tong Hui didnât dare to speak anymore.
Tong Zhuoâs anger was still burning. âItâs all because youâre too soft-hearted. You have given her this opportunity. You should have listened to me and locked her up in a cage. But you have to play house with her. Do you think sheâd thank you and call you uncle? How naive! And do you think you can hide from me? You old fool! None of you can escape from me!â
