Zhu Xiong, who was transferring superpowers to He Jiaojiao, was apparently unable to hold on any longer, perhaps because he was transferring too much superpowers. His face was as pale as a piece of white paper.

Just when he was about to despair, He Jiaojiao suddenly opened her eyes, and a strange thing appeared in her hand in an instant.

"Come back!"

He Jiaojiao shouted at Mo Ran and the others, then aimed the rocket launcher at Xing Ci and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

Almost as soon as He Jiaojiao finished speaking, Mo Ran and the others returned to He Jiaojiao's side.

With a loud bang, a heat wave rolled in, sending countless gravel flying towards them. But He Jiaojiao wasn't worried at all. Just as she was about to be affected, the towering beasts of several of her companions appeared before her. Mo Ran even used his snake body to completely wrap He Jiaojiao up. No matter how much gravel and sand poured down, not a single speck of dust landed on her.

After the thick smoke, a huge deep pit appeared where Xingci was.

Mo Ran exchanged a glance with the others, and they went forward to check, while he stayed behind to ensure He Jiaojiao's safety.

Seeing Xing Ci's body blown to pieces, several people turned to Mo Ran and nodded, and Mo Ran let He Jiaojiao go. But He Jiaojiao was worried that the same mistake would happen again, so she asked Mo Ran to take her to check it out in person.

He Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief after the system confirmed that Xing Ci was truly dead. After all, orcs could be controlled mentally, but the system could never be controlled. Xing Ci must be truly dead this time.

Mo Ran, Chi Yan and Zhu Tian looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect He Jiaojiao to kill them. After all, when the fight just started, they clearly felt that Xing Ci didn't really want to kill them. Moreover, they could see that Xing Ci was also very worried about He Jiaojiao. During the fight, he kept looking in He Jiaojiao's direction.

Even Mo Ran was still thinking that if Jiaojiao didn't mind, they could accept Xingci. But he didn't expect that when He Jiaojiao woke up, she took out an unknown object and blew up Xingci. And it was the kind that could not be deader.

After exchanging glances, they decided not to tell He Jiaojiao the truth, otherwise she would definitely regret it and blame herself for being too impulsive.

"Jiaojiao..." Zi Yi walked up to He Jiaojiao with red eyes, hugged her arms and started crying, "Jiaojiao, you've lost weight!"

Originally, He Jiaojiao didn't feel anything, but when she heard Zi Yi say "You've lost weight", her nose suddenly felt sore and tears fell uncontrollably.

Seeing He Jiaojiao crying, all her friends couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

Several people hugged each other and cried bitterly...

Uh...actually, only He Jiaojiao and Ziyi, the useless big tiger, dropped golden beans, while the others just had red eyes at most.

"Jiaojiao, what was that in your hand just now?"

Zi Yi couldn't help but speak, but he found that as soon as he asked the question, he was given several threatening gazes.

In the moment of haste, she forgot that the rocket launcher would be seen by them. When He Jiaojiao was racking her brains to think of how to explain, Mo Ran stepped forward to rescue her.

"Jiaojiao, are you feeling any pain? I still have the medicine that Wanshou City gave me when I left Wanshou City!"

She was already worried about not being able to explain, and now Mo Ran asked this question at the perfect time. He Jiaojiao quickly pretended to be in pain. Zi Yi immediately ignored his curiosity and hurriedly picked up He Jiaojiao and ran into the wooden house.

Mo Ran and the others exchanged a smile, then shook their heads helplessly. They had long suspected that He Jiaojiao held a deep secret, one that couldn't be revealed, so they had always pretended not to know. Only Zi Yi, the foolish tiger, naively assumed that He Jiaojiao, because she was a Saint Female, knew so many things they had never seen or heard of.

It seems like it's time to have a good talk with Ziyi, otherwise this big tiger might do something bad.

He Jiaojiao hadn't taken a bath since being captured by Xing Ci. Now she could finally take a good bath. However, the bathtub she had used before was left in Wanshou City, so Chi Yan had to quickly find a suitable tree and make a new one.

After Ziyi heated the icy river water to the appropriate temperature, He Jiaojiao couldn't wait to take off her animal skin and squat in.

At this moment, He Jiaojiao felt like she was dreaming.

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry!"

Mo Ran half-crouched beside the tub, holding a piece of animal skin in his hand as he scrubbed He Jiaojiao's body. He Jiaojiao had originally been reluctant to be watched while bathing, but her companions were adamant, insisting someone must be by her side for them to feel at ease. He Jiaojiao knew they were worried the incident in Myriad Beasts City would happen again, so she had no choice but to compromise.

"Aran, this isn't your fault, really!"

He Jiaojiao grabbed Mo Ran's hand, looked at him, and said solemnly.

"But Jiaojiao..." Mo Ran suddenly choked up, his eyes filled with tears, "But I almost lost you!"

At this moment, He Jiaojiao no longer cared about being shy. She stood up and hugged Mo Ran, gently patting his back to comfort him.

As the bestial husband, Mo Ran always told himself that he must be calmer than other partners. So after learning that He Jiaojiao was abducted, he was only panicked for a moment, then forced himself to calm down and arranged everything.

God knows that the moment he saw He Jiaojiao rolling out of the wooden house on Zhutian's back, he jumped down without any hesitation. He even thought that if He Jiaojiao was gone, he would not want to live either.

Fortunately, the Beast God was still on their side, they all survived, and He Jiaojiao was fine.

However, Mo Ran didn’t have the confidence to go through such an experience again, he would really collapse.

He Jiaojiao held Mo Ran like this until she felt the person in her arms calmed down. Then she withdrew her hand and retreated back into the bathtub.

"Aran, do you know what was going through my mind when I found out that Xingci had captured me?" He Jiaojiao pretended to be calm as she played with the water. "I was panicked at first, but then I kept telling myself, it's okay, Aran and the others will definitely find me, and they will definitely find a way to save me..."

Before He Jiaojiao could finish her words, she felt a pair of cold lips pressed against hers, blocking her from saying anything else.

He Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then she hooked her arms around Mo Ran's neck and deepened the kiss.

Mo Ran, who wanted to go further, accidentally glanced at the wound on He Jiaojiao's body and stopped immediately.

"Does it still hurt?"

He Jiaojiao followed Mo Ran's gaze and realized that he was talking about his wound, so she smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt at all."

As he said this, he shook his arms vigorously as if to prove something.

"Hiss~"

He Jiaojiao gasped in pain.

When she fell from the wooden house, He Jiaojiao injured her arm. But in order to get rid of Xing Ci in one fell swoop, she temporarily blocked her pain perception. But just now, the blocking time limit expired...

Mo Ran looked at He Jiaojiao helplessly, quickly helped her wash her body, carried her out, dried her, changed her into a clean animal skin skirt, and then carried her downstairs to find Zhu Xiong.

Upon learning that He Jiaojiao's arm was seriously injured, Zhu Xiong hurried over to check, and finally He Jiaojiao happily received a hide bandage.

Looking at her arm, which had been tied up thicker than before, He Jiaojiao smiled bitterly. "Is it really that exaggerated?" She had checked it out, and it was just an injury, not a broken bone...

But seeing her partners all looking so serious, He Jiaojiao had no choice but to give up struggling and just become a useless person.
