Chapter 267 Celebration

Beside Ye Xuan stood Su Mengli.

As for Long Hanjie and the others, being Awakened Ones from the capital, they were not well-known in the Magic City, so no one could recognize them.

Lin Xu was also shocked, “Kunpeng King? Ye Xuan, did you kill the Kunpeng King?”

Ye Xuan replied calmly, “Yes, this thing was too annoying, too fast. In the future, when it grows up, it might pose a significant threat to humans, so I killed it! These two are the hostages it just took from the Magic City, and they have returned safely.”

Immediately, the camera focused on the couple.

The place where the couple was captured had surveillance cameras. Shortly after, the authorities also released information about the missing couple, so everyone knew what the missing couple looked like.

And now, this couple had returned unharmed, which was a huge morale boost for both the Awakened Ones of the Magic City and the ordinary people.

Because it was telling everyone that the Awakened Ones of the Magic City had the ability to protect everyone. Isn’t this Kunpeng King impressive? Rushing into the Magic City to capture people, right?

Now the people it captured had returned unharmed, while this arrogant Kunpeng King had turned into a corpse. How inspiring is that?

On the barrage, the number of “Ye Xuan, Su Mengli YYDS!” suddenly increased by a hundredfold, covering the entire screen in black, more enthusiastic than any live sports broadcast in the world.

In the Magic City, countless people watched the live broadcast, cheering and expressing their excitement loudly.

The families of the couple embraced each other, shedding tears of joy.

The restaurant owner shouted loudly, “Ye Xuan, Su Mengli, YYDS, all customers today dine for free!”

In the bar, a rich second-generation shouted, “All expenses today will be covered by Master Zhao!”

And the businesswoman who ran a hotel, her heart filled with passion, exclaimed, “All customers today get a 10% discount, just pay for a room!”

The whole city was in jubilation because of the Kunpeng King’s corpse brought back by Ye Xuan.

With red eyes, Lin Xu wiped his tears again, looking at the barrage full of praises for Ye Xuan and Su Mengli, feeling a sense of loneliness in his heart.

The later generations surpass the former, one generation replaces another.

The Kunpeng King being killed and the hostages being rescued was definitely a good thing, and Lin Xu was genuinely happy.

However, just a moment ago, everyone was comforting him, telling him not to cry, that they didn’t blame him, but in the next moment, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli became YYDS.

He, Lin Xu, was directly abandoned, the huge gap making him feel uneasy…

Then, Lin Xu forced a smile and said, “You did a great job taking down this Kunpeng King. Come on, open the gates and bring in the Kunpeng King’s corpse!”

The gate of the base opened, and Ye Xuan dragged the Kunpeng King’s corpse inside step by step.

At that moment, those watching the live broadcast were rushing towards the base. Ye Xuan hadn’t gone far dragging the Kunpeng King’s corpse when a large group of people stopped him.

Some were on foot, some on electric bikes, some in cars, all blocking the way. After seeing the Kunpeng King’s corpse brought back by Ye Xuan, they shouted loudly, “Ye Xuan Su Mengli, YYDS!”

“Ye Xuan Su Mengli, YYDS!”

The voices were uniform and grand.

Long Hanjie and Xia Mo were speechless. Why were only Ye Xuan and Su Mengli credited for killing the Kunpeng King when everyone did it together?

There was no way around it. Ye Xuan and Su Mengli were the face of the Magic City University’s Awakened Ones, and most people in the Magic City only knew these two.

Long Hanjie and his group came from the capital and had little influence in the Magic City.

At this moment, Su Mengli, looking at these people with admiration in their eyes, shouting these slogans, finally understood why her parallel world self was willing to die to protect China.

Because the support of the people of China was her life, her only reason for living, so she was willing to die to protect them.

And now, listening to these slogans, Su Mengli’s heart also had such thoughts.

Of course, unlike her parallel world self, she had a more important mission besides protecting these people. She lived for her man and her little family.

Therefore, although moved at the moment, she would also strive to protect the Magic City and its people in the future, but sacrificing herself to protect the Magic City would be difficult for her…

Once a person’s heart is tied, once they have their own ties, it’s hard for them to be completely selfless and sacrifice themselves for others.

The Kunpeng King’s corpse was dragged back to the school by Ye Xuan all the way, and on the way, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli were undoubtedly the center of attention, winning countless praises.

Back at the university, Lin Xu asked, “The Kunpeng King was incredibly fast. How did you kill it?”

Ye Xuan explained, “This was mainly thanks to the East Sea Dragon King in the secret realm. With a move of his, he made the Four Sea Kings attack each other. The Kunpeng King’s wing was bitten off by the Magic Whale King, giving us the opportunity to strike.”

Lin Xu smiled, “Very well, I will report this. The Kunpeng King is powerful and poses a great threat to China. Its corpse is also valuable, and you will receive a substantial reward!”

At that moment, Long Hanjie said, “The greatest gains from this secret realm exploration have been obtained by me. Let them split the reward for the Kunpeng King. I won’t participate.”

Lin Xu agreed, “That’s fine.”

Long Hanjie added, “By the way, with the Kunpeng King gone, the Black Dragon King and the Magic Whale King are both injured, and the Mermaid Queen has no hostility towards humans. The threat from the East Sea has significantly decreased. Ye Xuan, Su Mengli, would you like to come to the capital with us? I heard that there are more young talented Awakened Ones in the capital, and they have obtained higher-class cultivation resources from the ruins.”

Upon hearing Long Hanjie’s words, Ye Xuan hesitated. He and Su Mengli had just bought a villa in the Magic City and set up their love nest. Were they going to the capital so soon? It seemed a bit rushed!

However, Long Hanjie’s words also made sense. In the capital, there were many geniuses, and the resources were undoubtedly more high-end than in the Magic City, which would be beneficial for their strength improvement.
