Chapter 199: Homecoming

Equally fearful was Wang Gangdan. When he used his ability, his whole body seemed like iron from the inside out.

But as he watched Su Mengli make a move, he inexplicably felt weak in the legs. At this moment, his iron body was as limp as a noodle.

Su Mengli’s face was not good because of Ye Xuan’s accident, and she herself didn’t have much time left. Despite having killed all the mutant beasts, she still exuded a strong sense of anger and killing intent.

Watching this scene, Wang Gangdan felt a bit scared.

He cautiously said, “Old Lin, it seems like your student is not in a good mood. Should we cheer her up?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu gave Wang Gangdan a disdainful look and said, “Cheer her up? What nonsense are you talking about?”

Feeling displeased, Wang Gangdan retorted, “Then can’t you at least support me a bit? I’m scared stiff!”

“Pathetic!” Lin Xu sneered and then exclaimed in surprise, “Mengli, your strength has improved so much now? Truly deserving of the SSS rank. What about Ye Xuan? How is the Three-Legged Golden Crow?”

“The Three-Legged Golden Crow is dead, and Ye Xuan is injured,” Su Mengli replied.

At that moment, Chu Han walked over, looking solemnly at Su Mengli and asked, “Did you consume the Death Fruit?”

Lin Xu’s face changed, “Death Fruit? What is that?”

Chu Han explained slowly, “The Death Fruit, when consumed, increases ability development by fifty percent for half an hour. However, after half an hour, death is inevitable.”

Lin Xu’s face turned pale, “How could this happen? Mengli, did you really use it?”

Avoiding the topic, Su Mengli said, “I’m fine. Ye Xuan is injured and needs a doctor.”

Upon hearing Su Mengli’s words, Lin Xu immediately understood that she had indeed consumed the Death Fruit, causing his face to turn ashen.

He never expected things to take such a turn for the worse!

At that moment, Chu Han clenched his right hand tightly, his expression a mix of anger and helplessness.

If only he were stronger, if only he could have used the Eye of Destruction to kill the Three-Legged Golden Crow, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.

Lin Xu looked at Su Mengli and uttered three words, “I’m sorry.”

Su Mengli faintly said, “I just hope you can save Ye Xuan.”

Lin Xu immediately responded, “Don’t worry, we will definitely save him!”

Half an hour later, at the First Hospital of Magic City, in the intensive care unit, Lin Xu, Su Mengli, and others anxiously stood at the door, waiting. After a while, a respected doctor came out.

The doctor shook his head slightly and said, “The patient’s vital signs are too weak, he’s unconscious, and his life force is fading. We did our best.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mengli’s body trembled, almost falling to the ground.

Lin Xu was equally worried. He thought Ye Xuan was just slightly injured and would only lose a super genius this time, but he never expected it to be two.

Lin Xu said again, “Mengli, I’m sorry…”

He had just vowed to save Ye Xuan, but in a blink of an eye, he broke his promise. How could he not feel embarrassed and upset?

Su Mengli gave a bitter smile, “It’s okay. Whether in life or death, we are together. It’s a fitting end. Director, my time is running out. Can you do me a favor?”

Lin Xu looked at Su Mengli and said, “Tell me, whatever I can do, I will help you.”

Su Mengli slowly said, “Arrange a simple wedding for me and Ye Xuan. It’s best to finish it within ten minutes. Then, prepare a coffin for us. Homecoming. After the wedding, put us in the coffin and send us back to Jiangcheng City.”

Su Mengli’s words made Lin Xu’s eyes red. His indestructible demon body had the most terrifying recovery ability. He fought with mutant beasts, had his hands and feet cut off, yet he never frowned. But now, he felt like crying.

Lin Xu rubbed his eyes and said, “Okay, I’ll arrange it for you right away.”

Next, Lin Xu quickly arranged manpower, set up the wedding scene, prepared wedding attire for the bride and groom, and bought a coffin, all proceeding in an orderly manner.

At the same time, Chu Han reported this matter to the capital city, as the fall of two geniuses was significant.

One was an SSS-class genius, and the other was an SS-class genius.

Although Ye Xuan’s talent was not as good as Su Mengli’s, his ability development rate was faster, and his combat power surpassed Su Mengli’s. Both were geniuses worth paying attention to, and now…

Both geniuses were about to fall, so Chu Han naturally had to report it.

Not long after Chu Han’s report, a call came in, “Leader Chu, this is Qian Li. I have a few things I’d like to discuss with you.”

Chu Han frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, “Go ahead.”

Chu Han didn’t like Qian Li. Although he was an autonomous awakened individual, he and Chu Han were fundamentally different.

Chu Han liked to use his abilities to kill mutant beasts, while Qian Li, although awakened and strong, spent his time flattering others and making social comments to gain attention. He was what people commonly referred to as a “public intellectual.”

Qian Li’s abilities were not weak, but the number of mutant beasts he killed could be counted on one hand. However, in the field of awakened individuals, his status was higher than Chu Han’s, currently serving as the vice president of the Association for Supernatural Ability Research.

Qian Li slowly said, “I also received news from Magic City. An SSS-class awakened individual consumed the Death Fruit and is now nearing the end of her life. Is that correct?”

Chu Han replied, “Yes, what do you want to say?”

Qian Li continued, “Although it may be untimely, for the sake of China’s safety, I must speak. She consumed the Death Fruit, her ability development rate exceeded fifty percent, and her talent is SSS-class. Before her death, she can be considered the strongest in China, right? You also said that with just one move, she evaporated the water along the East Sea coast and incinerated a large number of mutant beasts into ashes. With such power, how can we waste it? You are by the side of that genius, right? Immediately tell her to use the last moments of her life to unleash her brilliance and heat, and slaughter another batch of monsters for China.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Han erupted in anger, “Get lost! You sit in your office all day, commenting on this and criticizing that, never even stepping onto the battlefield, yet you dare to talk nonsense here? You wait for me. After the incident in Magic City is over, I will make sure you regret it!”

Qian Li was furious, “Chu, what do you mean by that? Aren’t we all contributing to China? Isn’t my proposal good? You…”

Before Qian Li could finish his sentence, Chu Han hung up the phone.

Unwilling to give up, Qian Li then called Lin Xu, but unfortunately, Lin Xu answered the call and only said one word, “Get lost!”

After that, Lin Xu continued to busily prepare for the wedding of Su Mengli and Ye Xuan.
