Chapter 32: Farewell, Until Fate Reunites Us

“Xihen, stop being so mysterious, just tell us!” The branches of the toxic devil’s tongue were growing longer and thrashing around the living room, threatening to strike them.

Most of the furniture and decorations in the house had already been destroyed.

The glass in the windows was shattered, and sunlight streamed in, further shrinking their hiding space and quickly forcing them into the room.

Chu Xihen retrieved three [Paper Umbrella] cards from his personal shop, throwing one towards Bai Jinli.

Although Bai Jinli was vigilantly observing the situation in the living room, he reflexively caught the object thrown his way.

“This is returning it to you,” Chu Xihen said, without explaining further.

Then, he gave one each to Zhou Quan and Su Yan, while he and Lou Suo would use the one they’d obtained by the river.

“I heard from a teammate in a dungeon that this card’s paper umbrella can block the scorching sun outside,” Chu Xihen said to the others after distributing the cards.

“Really?” Zhou Quan looked at the card they had all previously scorned, his face full of doubt.

Chu Xihen patted Lou Suo. “Give me your card. I’ll hold the umbrella, you cover me.”

Lou Suo took out the card and placed it in Chu Xihen’s hand.

“Jump out of the window,” Chu Xihen planned to take the lead and test it out. Even if the paper umbrella didn’t work, he still had other means to protect himself.

Lou Suo had absolute trust in him. He smashed the window of the room with a punch, put his arm around Chu Xihen’s waist, and jumped straight down, disregarding the scorching sun outside.

The moment they jumped out, Chu Xihen activated the card. A white paper umbrella opened in mid-air, perfectly covering the two tall and long-legged men, preventing the sunlight from harming them in the slightest.

Using the card was very simple, requiring no specific level of power from the user. As long as they focused their mind, the card would respond immediately.

Seeing the two land perfectly and the paper umbrella block the sun, Bai Jinli and Han Chong followed closely behind.

Unlike Chu Xihen and Lou Suo, the two couldn’t jump out of the window while embracing each other. Furthermore, their movements weren’t coordinated enough, and in mid-air, Han Chong’s hand slipped out from under the umbrella, instantly smoking in the sun.

After they landed and stepped aside, Zhou Quan jumped down with his own umbrella, followed by Gao Lin, who carried Su Yan in a princess carry.

Gao Lin’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. As soon as Su Yan stood firmly, he moved under Zhou Quan’s umbrella.

Seeing him like this, Su Yan asked a little embarrassed, “Gao Lin, what’s wrong? Am I too heavy?”

“What are you talking about? Even if there were three of you, you wouldn’t be heavy,” Gao Lin retorted, his handsome face darkening even more when Su Yan questioned his strength when he was already feeling irritated.

“Then why do you look so unhappy?” Zhou Quan asked, completely oblivious.

He had no idea that Gao Lin’s displeasure stemmed from him forcing Gao Lin to carry Su Yan downstairs.

Su Yan was now also a meta-human, and her physique had been fully enhanced. Jumping from the second floor was no problem at all, right?

But Zhou Quan insisted on taking care of the girl. If Gao Lin didn’t carry Su Yan down, Zhou Quan would do it himself.

“Let’s go,” Lou Suo interrupted their conversation, pulling Chu Xihen forward.

As soon as they ran away, the bungalow collapsed.

The newly grown toxic devil’s tongue was directly exposed to the sun, its branches thrashing wildly, spraying purple liquid everywhere, corroding the surrounding bricks and stones.

But no matter how poisonous it was, it couldn’t compete with the sun. In less than five minutes, it was dried up, and even the venom had dried on the ground, leaving only some purple traces.

The toxic devil’s tongue, which had filled them with dread, couldn’t survive for five minutes under the sun, while they could block the sun with just a very ordinary paper umbrella.

This apocalypse was truly amazing.

Furthermore, hiding under the paper umbrella didn’t feel hot at all, which was much better than staying indoors during the day.

They walked through the village with the umbrellas, and they could hear rustling sounds inside almost every house they passed, not knowing whether it was the toxic devil’s tongue or the beetles. But they didn’t care and focused on getting on the road.

When passing the last house, Zhou Quan said, “There should be a toxic devil’s tongue in this house too, right? Han Chong, if you don’t go in and eat it, it’ll be too late!”

Han Chong turned his head and glared at him angrily but didn’t dare to respond.

His contempt for Chu Xihen was deeply ingrained, and he never expected that the other party would really have a way to walk in the scorching sun, especially by using the card they considered the most useless.

Who knew that this paper umbrella couldn’t block rain but could block the sun.

“Zhou Quan, stop teasing him. He just speaks without thinking. Just pretend you didn’t hear what he said,” Bai Jinli said, trying to defuse the situation for Han Chong.

Zhou Quan was unhappy. “He didn’t target you, so of course you can not care.”

Bai Jinli’s behavior of being generous at others’ expense was too disgusting.

“I’m sorry,” Bai Jinli apologized and pushed Han Chong. “Quickly apologize to Xihen. If he hadn’t shared this method, we would have been finished today.”

Han Chong was very unwilling, but since Bai Jinli had spoken, he could only reluctantly say, “I’m sorry.”

But he didn’t stop and didn’t even look at Chu Xihen when he spoke.

Chu Xihen pretended not to hear and walked past them with Lou Suo.

“Jinli, you saw, I already apologized. Whether he forgives me or not is his business,” Han Chong didn’t care at all what Chu Xihen thought of him, because they could never reconcile anyway.

As long as Chu Xihen’s strength was inferior to his, he would always despise him.

After leaving the village and moving away from the houses, they no longer had to worry about the toxic devil’s tongue suddenly popping up.

Lou Suo asked Bai Jinli, “Where are you planning to go?”

The implication was that they should part ways.

Bai Jinli’s face stiffened for a moment. “Lou-ge, where are you going?”

Han Chong said, “Our boss is going to Jing City. Jinli, aren’t you also going to Jing City to find your family? We’re going the same way.”

Han Chong, on the other hand, didn’t have a place he wanted to go. Initially, he had wanted to follow Lou Suo, but who knew that before they had officially set off, the three brothers would fall apart, experiencing life and death situations.

Thinking of this, Han Chong quickly lowered his head, hiding the resentful murderous intent in his eyes.

He firmly believed that Chu Xihen had killed Wan Ming, and he would find an opportunity to avenge his brother!

“Traveling together is fine, but next time, our five will be going into the dungeon as a fixed team,” Lou Suo wanted to make things clear in advance, lest they get separated again when the dungeon opened in six days.

Bai Jinli was amused by his words. “No need. Xihen just saved us, and you returned the weapon cards to me. We’re even now. Farewell, until fate reunites us.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Han Chong. “What about you? Do you want to follow me or follow your boss?”

Han Chong was surprised. “Ah? Isn’t this on the way? We just won’t go into the dungeon with them, we can still be together… I’ll go with you.”

He said halfway, saw Bai Jinli’s dark face, and immediately changed his words.

Then, without saying goodbye to Lou Suo and the others, Bai Jinli left with Han Chong.
