Chapter 96

Sun Yan didn’t keep them in suspense and continued, "It turns out that during the battle, his sister’s ‘Auntie’ happened to come, and the blood flowed out, making it seem as if she had been ambushed by the enemy..."

In his arms, the little rabbit turned its red eyes and then showed a look of sudden realization. At this moment, the little guy was truly interested.

"Shut up!" Beilong immediately had an angry look on his face. "Sun Yan, you scoundrel, what kind of vulgar story are you telling? It’s a disgrace to the ears."

Sun Yan glanced at him and retorted, "I wasn’t telling it to you. The injured should get some rest. Don’t disturb me while I’m bonding with the little guy."

"You..." Beilong glared at him, then turned to the little rabbit and ordered, "Sai, don’t listen to this guy’s nonsense, got it?"

No matter how much Beilong fumed, Sun Yan and the little rabbit were one telling the story with enthusiasm and the other listening with desire, completely ignoring Beilong.

Clearing his throat, Sun Yan continued, "As everyone knows, when ‘Auntie’ comes, women’s bodies are very weak and their resistance is poor. The battle raged from day to night, and finally, the trumpets sounded to signal the end. However, his sister, having exhausted her strength, fainted on the spot."

"When she woke up again, it was already the next morning. She was lying in a hospital bed, weak and powerless. At that moment, the captain rushed in, tears streaming down his face, repeatedly saying he was sorry to his brother. She moved her body, feeling a bit sore all over but not missing any limbs, and asked in confusion why this was happening."

Sun Yan’s eyes flickered as he narrated, "The captain wept bitterly and said—Brother, the thing you use to carry on the family line has been cut off by the enemy. The doctor treated it in time, stitching up the wound, and managed to save your life. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to have children in the future. You must take it easy and adjust to the situation."

At this point, Sun Yan exhaled with satisfaction, holding the little rabbit and saying, "How about that? Little guy, isn’t this story exciting? Have you ever heard anything like it? Do you want to hear more? I have many more such stories."

The little rabbit’s eyes darted around, nodding excitedly, clearly finding Sun Yan’s story extremely novel and unheard of, and also bold and stimulating.

"Sun Yan, shut up!"

Beilong’s voice rose an octave. His face was red, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You scoundrel, you can’t say anything decent. If you keep talking, I won’t let you off."

"What are you shouting for?" Sun Yan twisted his mouth, frowned, and looked at Beilong, shaking his head in disappointment. "Sigh, it seems you’re still too naive. What a waste of such a good appearance! Fine, since you insist, I won’t say anything more."

Upon hearing this, the little rabbit waved its paws in disappointment, but after catching Beilong’s murderous gaze, the little guy had to behave.

Sun Yan stroked his chin, closed his eyes, and pondered for a long time. Then he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Fine, since you’re so insistent, I won’t waste my breath. It’s a long night, and since you can’t sleep, let’s watch a classic movie and get some rest early."

Hearing about watching a movie, the little rabbit’s long ears perked up, and it raised its head proudly, as if it had seen all the movies in the world.

"Alright, alright. Even if you’ve seen it, revisiting a classic is harmless."

Sun Yan held the little rabbit, sat next to Beilong, and took out a player from his backpack. His devout expression made Beilong speechless.

The player opened, and the opening scene showed a segment of a space war, with warships in formation and intense battles raging.

Seeing this, Beilong’s expression tightened, and he said lightly, "A film about the Sino River War? Haha, many secret historical events can’t be seen in the movies."

However, Beilong didn’t say anything sarcastic. In this era, every young person admired the heroic deeds of the past wars.

The camera shifted, and the scene changed completely. A naked man and woman appeared, followed by a series of lewd sounds, with moans and groans echoing in the dark forest.

Beilong’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but show a look of horror. Then, a scream rang out, and he tilted his head, fainting on the spot.

Turning his head, Sun Yan checked Beilong’s condition, shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "Can’t handle a little excitement? Sigh, this guy is really not manly, his psyche is so fragile!"

Holding the little rabbit, Sun Yan and the little rabbit enjoyed the classic adult movie with great interest.

"This position is called 'Old Man Pushing the Cart,' do you understand?"

"Um, this lotus position, your rabbit kind can’t understand it."

"This position? It’s quite difficult."

Sitting in front of the computer, whenever the little rabbit had a question, the young man would explain it in detail. The two of them were so engrossed that they watched the "classic" until dawn. Later, Sun Yan felt hungry and went to hunt a few exotic beasts nearby, bringing them back to roast for food.

After that, Sun Yan discovered something shocking: the little rabbit, Sai, actually ate meat. Instantly, the young man had a new understanding of evolution.

...

Another morning, Beilong slowly woke up, and the scenes from the night before involuntarily replayed in his mind.

Beilong was burning with anger, "Sun Yan, this scoundrel! This vulgar pervert, once I recover, I’ll make him pay."

At this moment, a strong aroma of meat wafted over, easily stimulating his appetite.

"This smell of meat? Oh no, Sai."

Beilong hurriedly opened his eyes and saw a bonfire in front of him, with a simple grill roasting an exotic beast, the smell of meat filling the air.

At this moment, Sun Yan’s voice sounded, "You’re awake. I was afraid you’d freeze to death, so I made a bonfire. I hunted a few exotic beasts at dawn and roasted them. Do you feel better now? Get up and eat something."

Turning his head, Beilong searched for the little rabbit, but his pupils constricted.

He saw Sun Yan and the little rabbit sitting on the ground, each holding a piece of golden-brown roasted meat, the little rabbit’s long ears wearing earplugs, and it was intently watching the player on the ground.

Sun Yan, while gnawing on the roasted meat, laughed, "I didn’t expect the little guy to eat meat, it’s rare! But it’s good, following me, he’ll get to eat well and drink well."

Although he couldn’t hear the sound, Beilong clearly saw what was being played. Thinking about the entire night the little rabbit spent watching such content, he felt a dizzying urge to faint.

Seemingly sensing Beilong’s gaze, the little rabbit turned its head, smiled at him, showing two large front teeth, then turned back to focus on the adult movie.

"Heaven!" Beilong groaned, glaring at Sun Yan’s back. If looks could kill, he would have wanted to tear Sun Yan to pieces.

"Sun Yan, put that thing away, or I won’t let you off," Beilong shouted.

Sun Yan shook his head, "How can you stifle a cute pet’s curiosity? Curiosity is a key factor in the evolution of species. I think the little guy will become smarter in the future."

Beilong’s face was expressionless. If he wasn’t in a sleeping bag, he would have attacked this scoundrel even with his injuries.

Finally, under Beilong’s almost desperate plea, Sun Yan and the little rabbit had to give up their exploration of human desires and began to focus on healing Beilong.

After another morning, after the third healing session, Beilong was finally able to walk normally, though he couldn’t use his elemental power for battle.

However, in Sun Yan’s view, a second-level warrior in the red alert zone had no combat capability anyway. Whether Beilong could fight or not was irrelevant.

After the third healing session, Beilong made a request.

"Sun Yan, can you help me heal while taking me deeper into the red alert zone?"

Hearing this request, Sun Yan frowned, looking at Beilong as if he were an idiot, "You’re really out of your mind. Do you know what the red alert zone is? Even if I were alone, I wouldn’t dare to venture into the deepest part of the red alert zone, let alone with you as a burden."

Sun Yan was telling the truth. From the map, they were already in the middle of the red alert zone, where they could encounter level six exotic beasts at any time. If Sun Yan were alone, he could escape, but with Beilong, he had no such confidence.

"Think carefully, even if it’s a matter of life and death. If you lose your life, everything is meaningless," Sun Yan advised.

Beilong shook his head, firmly saying, "Time waits for no one. I must go there personally, regardless of my own life." He continued, "Sun Yan, I know this is a difficult request, and I won’t let you take the risk for nothing. I’m willing to offer a powerful combat technique as payment. You don’t need to accompany me into danger; just escort me to the edge of the destination."

Sun Yan’s eyes lit up, his heart racing, "Oh, a powerful combat technique? Is it really that amazing?"

Beilong gritted his teeth, struggling to say three words, "It’s really amazing!" Saying such crude words was against his upbringing.

Looking at Beilong and the little rabbit, Sun Yan shrugged, "Alright, I’ll escort you."

Beilong was taken aback, "You’re not going to ask what the powerful combat technique is?"

"Uh? What combat technique?"

Sun Yan’s tone was casual. As long as he completed this survival trial, he would have enough credits to enter the Imperial Wind Library, which had a vast collection of combat techniques. He didn’t care about Beilong’s offer.

Beilong clenched his teeth, thinking, this guy is really infuriating.

"This is a powerful combat technique," Beilong said solemnly, "The 'Floating Light Shocking Heaven Technique'!"

Sun Yan raised an eyebrow, "The 'Floating Light Shocking Heaven Technique'? What a cool name!" He then muttered to himself, "But many things in the world are just names. This technique might not be as powerful as it sounds."

"You..." Beilong was shaking with anger, thinking, "This bumpkin, this narrow-minded person, has no knowledge. I should have given him any sixth-grade combat technique. I must have been out of my mind to promise him the 'Floating Light Shocking Heaven Technique.'"

After packing everything, Sun Yan, who never dawdled, immediately set off with Beilong and the little rabbit. According to Beilong, their destination was a place in the extreme north of White Prison Star.

A hundred years ago, that area was the most prosperous city on the planet, but now, no one knew what it looked like.

...

Five days later, in the deepest part of the northern red alert zone, a desert.

In the distance, two figures were rapidly approaching, Sun Yan and Beilong. The little rabbit squatted on Sun Yan’s shoulder, gripping his collar and occasionally making a soft sound.

After a moment, the two arrived at the edge of the desert, where there were no signs of human activity, and no interstellar mercenaries could be seen.

Standing at the edge of the desert, facing an endless expanse of yellow sand, the heat waves were intense.

Looking at the vast desert, Beilong turned around and smiled, "Sun Yan, thank you for these days. I’ve arrived at my destination. Our deal is complete, goodbye!"

In five days, the ice and fire energy in Beilong’s body had been completely cleared, and he had fully recovered his second-level warrior strength. However, in the red alert zone, his strength was almost negligible.

Sun Yan frowned, "Are you sure you don’t want me to go with you?"

"No need," Beilong said, lifting his chin. "I don’t have another powerful combat technique like the 'Floating Light Shocking Heaven Technique' to exchange with you."

Sun Yan shrugged, nodded, and said, "Alright, wish you a smooth journey. Goodbye, little guy!"

With that, Sun Yan turned and quickly left, disappearing in a moment.

Watching the young man’s disappearing back, Beilong gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and said, "This guy, he’s really heartless. He took the 'Floating Light Shocking Heaven Technique' and got such a big advantage, and just left like that."

Standing there for a long time, Beilong picked up the little rabbit and said softly, "Actually, I can’t blame him. I came to White Prison Star prepared to die. Why drag this guy into danger with me?"

The little rabbit’s ears drooped, burying its head in Beilong’s chest, motionless, as if it were asleep.

"Let’s go, Sai. In the end, it’s just the two of us together!"

Holding the little rabbit, Beilong pushed off with his feet and walked into the depths of the desert. After a while, he suddenly stopped, looking at something in front of him in disbelief.

A figure stood in front of him, none other than Sun Yan, who had just left.

Seeing Beilong’s stunned expression, Sun Yan turned his head, looking around and muttering, "Hmm, this place is really strange. How did I end up here? Beilong, it seems we need to find a way out."

In the vast desert, Beilong gazed at the young man’s figure, his eyes softening, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips, like the melting of winter snow...
