Chapter 375: Xia Lei and Xia Bai
Sunlight shone from outside. Dust danced around the light pillar and left many uneven lines.
A white veil flew into all of this, and the dust started to fly about in panic.
Xia Lei wiped the blood on her hands. Her eyes had turned sharper during these two months, but one could see some exhaustion inside.
She wrapped the wounds on her ribs and lay on the bed. She thought she would finally have time to rest today after three days, but when she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the image of that person.
She could only open her eyes once more. She was afraid that she would become weak if she overthought about him.
Cloud Peak needed everything now except for weakness.
Occasionally, Xia Lei would think back to peacetime. She wasn’t thinking about the past; she just imagined how things would be if she met him then.
Maybe she would be in her police uniform dragging a terrified-looking guy out of his classroom. She could wear light clothing on a rainy day and get wet to see if he would have a nosebleed.
Then, she would find a memorable day to get him drunk, and when he was unconscious, she would do all the mature things. When he opened his eyes the following day, she held up the stained blankets and told him he had to be responsible. If not, she would slice his thing off.

All that remained would be to start a normal but special older-younger-brother relationship. With her charm, she would convince his parents and friends.

The more she thought about it, the more comfortable she felt. All the problems that she faced recently didn’t seem as tough as before.
“When you return, I will keep you here for three days.”
Xia Lei muttered and tossed the pillow to the side. She lay and stared at the roof. She tried not to think about the possibility of him not coming back.
There was a knock on the door, and she sighed. She knew that her sleepless day would continue. She wore her clothes to cover her alluring body. She rubbed her face in the mirror on the door and opened it.
“Little fellow, if you don’t return, I will harm other girls in the villa and cheat on you!”
Out of the door, the demon of Cloud Peak was back.

Tang Tian spat out blood. He grabbed the car and didn’t let his body collapse.
Behind him was the ashen white-faced Sister Rong.
Apart from a few dozen Cloud Peak soldiers, hundreds of evolved held various weapons.
“Tang Tian, I didn’t expect someone from that little team who just picked up rubbish to become Cloud Peak’s deputy captain. But after you entered the dungeon, your team disappeared. Did you con them? Uncle Da treated you so well.”
A fellow held a thick iron rod that shone a grey light.
Tang Tian laughed coldly, “Do you think anything you say can make your actions reasonable? No need for so much; it is the apocalypse. As long as your fist is tough enough, no one cares why you kill.”
That sharp-mouthed fellow’s face heated up, and he scolded, “Our boss wants you to tell us where Ye Zhongming is, and we will let you off!”
Sister Rong’s eyes shook, and they knew that what everyone was most worried about had still happened. Half a month after Ye Zhongming left, factions started to sneak attack their motorcades. This recent week, these people seemed to have banded together to attack. They realized that Ye Zhongming was gone, so they started to probe.
They wanted to see if Ye Zhongming would emerge once Cloud Peak was in trouble. The rumors that he had died in the Secret Realm would be true if he didn't appear.
“You few noobs think you have the right to see our boss? Go back and tell your master to kowtow to Cloud Peak. Maybe our boss will give him a chance and meet him.”
A Cloud Peak warrior replied firmly. His expression of disdain caused the other warriors to laugh, too.
Cloud Peak’s situation showed the true faces of many. Those who were not firm started to waver, but those who were firm got even more firm.
“Then die!”
The guy shouted and raised his arm. The people around started to attack Cloud Peak’s grain motorcade.
Cries rang out from both sides.
One side was where Cloud Peak and this group intersected. Life was lost as if it were worthless. The other area where the screams came from was actually on the outside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe guy turned and saw a petite figure walking in the shadows. Each step it took would mean a heart was being ripped out. It was crushed and then tossed onto the ground.
This woman wore a flower-patterned mask. The gaps showed white jade-like skin. Her hands had the same color, but it was red now. Her body was well-balanced. Unfortunately, flesh hung on it, which dropped as she moved. Moments later, new pieces would attach to her body.
The merger of an angel and the devil.
The guy charged and waved the weapon in his hands. He was confident that his three-star evolved strength was enough to finish her. He wouldn’t kill her and wanted to capture her alive. Then, he would teach her how to serve a man.
The eyes behind the mask glanced over, and he felt like he couldn’t move. The next second, he saw those white hands stabbed into his chest. She pulled his heart out like how she killed his friends.
“What skill is that, impossible…”
“Nothing is impossible; you've seen too little.”
She pushed him down. He died the moment he fell to the ground.
The attackers were in chaos.
Cloud Peak’s reinforcements were here. A hundred people attacked a group many times their number. The battle was very one-sided.
Xia Lei walked to the masked woman and smiled.
“You are back?”
“I am back.”
She reached out in her pocket and passed five bottles of three-star potions to her.
“I was late because of these.”
Xia Bai said.
