Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 176 The New Agreement (Part 1)

"Uh-oh—I should wash myself up and rest first!"

Yan Huai felt the gaze on his back, and his bio-radar went off urgently. He didn't want to do what he wanted, but being covered in blood was really uncomfortable!

"Oh~" Yan Chen didn't expose him, he just raised an eyebrow, but he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Presumably, the demands made by that world consciousness were not excessive, otherwise, given Yan Huai's emotionally expressive personality, he wouldn't be so "easygoing".

Thinking of this, Yan Chen pointed to the hot fountain to his right, then picked up his branding knife and walked over first: "Isn't this ready? And it's warm!"

Upon hearing this, several members of the Yan family followed closely behind like tails. Yan Yang originally wanted to be the one to stand out and call Zhang Qiling along, but Yan Lang grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him away without any mercy. Thus, only Yan Huai, Zhang Qiling, and Xie Lianrui, who was fast asleep, remained on the spot.

"He should be waking up soon, right?" Yan Huai made many subtle movements, tentatively moving closer, and wisely keeping his blood-stained body from getting too close to Zhang Qiling.

“You’ve been fighting for quite a while…why don’t we go wash up together?” Afraid Zhang Qiling would misunderstand and think he had ulterior motives, Yan Huai quickly added, “This area is safe for now, but if you’re really worried, I’ll stay here and watch over you until you’re done washing. I have prepared…” your clothes…

It's unclear whether something he said further fueled Zhang Qiling's anger, but he ignored Yan Huai's bewildered and aggrieved gaze, got up, and walked deeper into the bushes.

However......

"Zhang Qiling..."

The voice behind him, seemingly a whisper, was both pitiful and endearing. It seemed to have a natural ability to strike Zhang Qiling's most vulnerable spot, causing him to unconsciously halt his angry steps.

Yan Huai's eyes lit up again. In the dim light, he saw the familiar and slender figure not far away and took a deep breath.

Finally, Zhang Qiling turned around.

"I'll go get some firewood."

"Okay... then be careful, call me if anything happens!"

Zhang Qiling did not reply, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Yan Huai's pitiful expression vanished, replaced by a hint of indifference. He stood up, the faint golden glow around his pupils completely dissipated, and his aura became increasingly disordered.

Yan Chen and several members of the Yan family had been subtly observing the two's movements. Whether it was out of gossip or concern, they tacitly gathered around Yan Huai when he approached, shirtless.

"Aren't you afraid it will affect the two of you if you keep this from him like this?" Yan Chen said casually, but he knew that some things needed to be left unsaid.

"Let him avoid some danger, just this once." Yan Huai awkwardly took off his clothes and stepped into the water.

"Anyway, I won't save you if you get beaten up."

"No! You have to help me keep this a secret for a while; I can't take a beating right now."

Yan Chen glanced at the injury on Yan Huai's shoulder. Sure enough, the recovery was slower: "Tell me first, what unfair deal did you make behind your back?"

"There is no inequality, it is very fair."

Yan Huai splashed water on his face, washing away the dried blood and revealing a bloodless face.
