ally think everyone in the Lian family was deadLian Sheng first threw out a protective magic array, shielding Lian Ri. Then, she directly summoned a golden elemental magic array, trapping the paladin...Yuan Chongming's mission was complete, and he had no intention of staying here. He hadn't found any trace of Lian Ri and Zhao Jia among those who had been captured. He knew the two must have already escaped, so he went directly to find the captain.

"My task is complete, so I'm going back now. My friends must be very worried about me, and I have a little nephew who needs looking after."

"With the temperature dropping now, you probably wouldn't be safe going back alone."

The captain was very responsible, after all, they really found them food, which is life-saving stuff.

"It's alright, with you guys by my side, no one dares to charge into gunfire now."

Yuan Chongming is truly fearless. He also has weapons in his hands. With so much commotion here, everyone knows there's a conflict. If he goes back now, he'll be safe.

"Well then, why don't you take some food back with you"

"No, I'd rather pick it up myself later. Carrying all this food alone would make me a target."

Yuan Chongming was not stupid, he immediately rejected the other party's proposal.

"Alright, I wasn't considerate. You go first. We'll find you if we need to."

We will stay here for the night, and wait to transport both people and supplies back tomorrow. You can come find me anytime if you need anything.”

The captain promised.

>Okay.

After bidding farewell to the other party, Yuan Chongming hurried home with all his might. His snowboard left streaks as he sped along, heading home with a headlamp illuminating his path.

When Lian Yi and Zhao Jia returned to Shanshui Huating, they were still being watched. However, seeing that the two only had one backpack and that they lived in Building No. 4, most people gave up. But there was a skeptic who stealthily pulled a rope, trying to trip the two and take their backpack as an opportunity.

It was pitch black all around, but the ripples and Zhao Jia's headlamp were shining brightly. Moreover, since Ripples had good hearing, she caught the vibration when the rope suddenly tightened. With a spin, she directly crossed over the rope, landed, and grabbed it with one hand. She pulled hard, dragging out two people.

Two figures in the darkness let out a startled cry, desperately clutching the rope. The ripples did not care about these people. With a swift movement, she swung the rope, sending it spinning twice before letting go. It flew towards the distant ice surface with a loud "thud." "Plop," "Ah," and "Ouch" echoed in the ears of the two figures.

Zhao Jia also sensed the ambush. She slid sideways to Ripple's side, letting out a cold snort:

"Why don't we just kill him!"

Her voice was soft, but in the silent and pitch-black night, it was remarkably piercing. The sounds from the distance disappeared instantly.

"We are kind fairies, we wouldn't do such a cruel thing. They didn't attack us directly, and to kill them we need a good reason. Otherwise, carrying that guilt would be bad for us. I want to go to heaven later on, you know."

Ripples is spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"Okay!"

Zhao Jia shrugged and the two hurried toward their building, while the black figure on the ground writhed like a worm, leaving its original spot. It dared not make a sound, fearing that the two would return.

After this little mishap, the two finally managed to get back to the fifteenth floor. Li Qian and Sun Weifeng had been waiting anxiously and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two return safely.

"Are you two alright Are you hurt"

"Nothing happened, I'm not hurt, today was awesome, cheers to the big win."

Zhao Jia said in a good mood.

"It's too late, how about we split things up tomorrow"

Ripple patted his backpack and said.

Okay, no rush. Mingzi hasn't come back yet!

He should be with the support people, he's safe.

Ripples affirmed.

"You guys rest first, Li Ge and I will wait a bit longer."

Both of them knew Yuan Chongming's personality, and estimated that the other party would return after finishing.

Ripple nodded, taking up the impatient whirlwind that had been waiting. She returned to her room, where little Master Jia Yao was already asleep.

Back at her house, Lian Yi lit a fire. Only then did she open her backpack and take out cat food, cat treats, canned cat food, as well as some small toys and a scratching post. She even had cat litter and a litter box; these were all found in the warehouse.

What was brought out was what was on the surface, the rest she had put away in her space. There are cat owners even in affluent neighborhoods, so she had accumulated a lot of cat food. Now it's cheap for her. Being a cat owner herself, she said she went hunting, and naturally, there would be a harvest.

The wind seemed to be very useful, looking at a pile of delicious and fun things, Meow meow non-stop, the voice is still coquettish, listening to ripples very useful.

"This is all your master's harvest today. Tomorrow I'll build you a nest, so you won't have to relieve yourself in the flowerpot anymore."

Before there were any conditions, she made two simple toilets. Mainly because Stormy is smart enough, after two lessons, he knew how to solve his personal problems. He's a clean little cat.

Liàn Yī drank a bowl of red date millet porridge, only then did she feel like she was alive. Holding the warm whirlwind, she fell asleep headfirst. She was tired after this day.

When it was late at night, Yuan Chongming finally came back. Now everyone was here, and they were all relieved. As a result, everyone woke up late the next day. Lianyi slept naturally until she woke up, ate her fill, and hugged Xifeng while carrying her backpack to the next door.

I picked up some important things, after all, time is limited. I took the cat food, and the rest is for you to share.

Ripple said generously.

Sun WeiFeng rubbed his hands and said:

"Hee hee! Then we won't be polite, let's see what kind of treasures Ripple brought back."

Weifeng unzipped his backpack and pulled out one item after another. First came boxes of medicine, exactly the supplies they needed. Then came high-end cigarettes and alcohol, perfect for winter drinking to warm the body. At the bottom were gold bars, hard currency indeed.

"These things are so valuable, you brought them all out. You only take cat food, which doesn't match your contribution. Why don't you bring some more things"

Li Gan looked at it and said directly.

"No, I have stocked up on those things. I wouldn't be shy about asking if I need them."

Ripples directly refused.

Four people looked at each other and decided to accept Ripple's kindness.

Then Yuan Chongming spoke:

"My reward for guiding everyone is still pending, what do you guys want to exchange for it, just tell me."

After all, this wasn't his solo achievement. If we're being honest about the big picture, ripples played a significant role. The thing is, they don't mind these things, but they keep it in their hearts. They shouldn't take advantage without giving enough back; that wouldn't align with their principles for how to interact with the world.

"Let's see if there's an official trading market. We can exchange gold bars for some food."

Ripple suggested.

I inquired of Captain Song and his men, if they would be escorting the food found at Ban Shan Wan back to the temporary base today.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Chongming said.

"Well, we'll go in batches when the time comes."

The house must not be left unattended; someone needs to keep watch.

After settling on the next steps, everyone dispersed.

The ripples continued to live a life of raising cats, reading books, and taking care of children.

After a week passed, Yuan Chongming and Li Qian went to the temporary camp to collect their rewards - two hundred kilograms of rice. They also brought back news from the trading market.skilled!Speaking of this person, Zhang Zhe unconsciously trembled, and then a graceful figure appeared before the three. The next second, Zhang Zhe began to dissipate because his soul power was unstab...
