Chapter 927 - 926: There Is Always Someone Greater, and a Sky Beyond the Sky

Suddenly, Qin Xin was caught off guard by Nalan Ye Jue’s heartfelt counter-question.

She pressed her lips together, her eyes reddening, and softly said, "But, I also want to protect you."

Nalan Ye Jue’s breathing tightened, and a surge of hot blood rushed through his heart.

As a man, his creed since childhood has been to protect women.

He needs to protect his family, his subordinates, his sister, his wife... but tonight was the first time a woman said she wants to protect him.

This feeling was truly...

A memory for a lifetime.

His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and he once again pulled Qin Xin tightly into his embrace.

Words could no longer express his feelings at this moment. He just wanted to hold her tightly, tighter, to completely merge her with his flesh and blood.

Listening to the man’s heartbeat, Qin Xin could tell that he was genuinely angry this time, and worried about her to the extreme. She couldn’t help but soften her tone: "What you said earlier, that ugly bastard is stronger than me, what’s going on? I know I was lucky to escape this time, but if we really faced off head-to-head, I might not win. However, his methods were truly strange, I can’t quite understand his tricks..."

Nalan Ye Jue paused silently for a moment: "He’s a supernatural being."

Qin Xin was surprised: "Huh? Different from ordinary people? There really are supernatural beings in this world."

Nalan Ye Jue nodded: "Yes. But, their world and ours are supposed to be distinct and not interfere with each other. His appearance here and his large-scale pursuit of you is against the rules. If we kill him, we might leave traces and attract unwanted things. Wait a moment."

He thought of something.

He pulled out a delicate mini crossbow, took a piece of burning fire from the still blazing sports car, stuck it to a black iron arrow, then drew the crossbow fully, and with a "whoosh," the arrow shot through the air, sharply targeting the treetops on the mountaintop, the corpse of the man in the red robe.

The black iron arrow ignited the man’s body.

In no time, it burned him completely clean.

Only then did Nalan Ye Jue retract his gaze: "Now it’s done. The traces are wiped, things will be safe from now on."

Qin Xin: "..."

Was it really not for revenge, to let the man in the red robe also taste the burning sensation of fire?

She looked at the crossbow in Nalan Ye Jue’s hand, quite curious: "What kind of weapon is this? I’ve never seen it before."

Everything tonight truly reshaped her worldview and knowledge.

She was supposed to be among the top in various fields, yet this world had many realms she was entirely unfamiliar with.

Like supernatural beings, like this strange crossbow.

Nalan Ye Jue said: "This is an ancient weapon passed down by our Nalan Family. It was a gift from an elder. He... was once the High Priest of the supernatural alliance, but has retired for many years. The little I know about supernatural beings came from snippets he passed down."

Qin Xin grew increasingly curious: "But before tonight, I’ve never encountered any supernatural beings in my life."

Nalan Ye Jue said lightly: "They usually lie low. Also, they have their own small world where they have spiritual energy resources that better support their survival."

Qin Xin sighed softly: "So, the saying ’there’s always someone beyond’ is absolutely true."

Nalan Ye Jue: "Yes. But there’s no need for you, little wife, to worry. As long as you don’t wander around recklessly at night, the chance of running into such supernatural deviants is zero."
