In the eerie darkness of the night, a cold wind howled through the deserted streets and alleys, and in these dark corners, terrifying figures engaged in a thrilling battle.

Ryan's eyes widened, the blade in his hand flashing with a cold gleam, each swing carrying a resolute killing intent. Philip, like a ghost, weaved between the enemies, his punches swift and fierce, each strike accompanied by a dull sound of breaking through the air.

Alex was not to be outdone. He brandished his long whip, and the tip of the whip was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, lashing at those terrifying figures accurately and fiercely.

Ryan roared, each blow aimed squarely at the enemy's vital points, his attacks ruthlessly, as if he were determined to completely crush all the evil before him. Philip's punches and kicks were like a storm, leaving those terrifying figures unable to withstand them. Alex's long whip arced through the air, tearing flesh wherever it touched.

Blood splattered in the night, and the screams of the terrifying figures echoed one after another. However, Ryan, Philip and Alex had no mercy at all. They had only one belief in their hearts, which was to completely eliminate these evils.

In the darkness, the fierce battle continued, as if it would never end.

Ye Wan looked at Alex, who stood tall and straight amidst the corpses, her eyes filled with admiration. She ignored the blood on the ground and quickly walked towards him, shouting, "Alex, you're so brave!"

An Qing was so frightened by the horrific scene that she stepped back repeatedly, her face as pale as paper. Her lips trembled, and her steps staggered, as if she would collapse to the ground at any moment.

Alex heard Ye Wan's call, turned his head slightly, and gave her a firm look.

An Qing looked at everything in front of her, her heart filled with fear and helplessness. She kept backing away until her back hit the cold wall and there was no way to retreat anymore.

An Qing returned home with a nervous heart, looking completely distraught.

Seeing her like this, her mother asked with concern: "An Qing, what's wrong with you?"

An Qing's voice trembled as she recounted the horrific scene she had just experienced.

The mother gently touched her face and said, "Oh, child, don't be afraid. I will take you to see the princess's brother, Evan. Perhaps a meeting between the two of you will make you feel better."

An Qing raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion: "Mother, is this okay?"

The mother smiled and encouraged her: "Go ahead and try it, child."

An Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and followed her mother to where the princess's younger brother Evan was.

Along the way, An Qing was still in a very heavy mood, and the mountains of corpses and bloody scenes kept appearing in her mind.

When they arrived, Evan saw An Qing and her mother and greeted them with a smile. He had golden curly hair and bright eyes, and looked very friendly.

His mother introduced An Qing to Evan, and Evan politely extended his hand to An Qing: "Nice to meet you, Miss An Qing."

An Qing forced a smile and held Evan's hand.

Evan seemed to sense An Qing's uneasiness and asked softly, "Miss An Qing, you look a little worried?"

An Qing didn't know how to answer, so her mother quickly said, "She just went through some unpleasant things and hopes to talk to you to help her feel better."

Evan nodded and took An Qing to a quiet garden, trying to help her relax.

However, An Qing was unable to concentrate and responded to Evan's words absentmindedly.

Evan was not annoyed, and continued to accompany her patiently, telling her some interesting stories and jokes.

Gradually, An Qing's mood calmed down a little, and she began to listen carefully to Evan's story.

Before we knew it, it was getting dark and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the garden golden.

An Qing sighed softly and said, "Evan, thank you, I feel much better."

Evan smiled and said, "I'm glad to have improved your mood."

At this time, the mother came over and felt relieved when she saw that An Qing's expression was no longer as nervous and frightened as before.

"It's getting late, we should go back," said the mother.

An Qing and Evan said goodbye to each other, and An Qing followed her mother home.

Along the way, the mother asked, "What do you think of Evan?"

An Qing thought for a moment and replied, "He is very kind and patient."

The mother smiled and said, "That's good. We can visit each other more often if we have the chance."

After returning home, An Qing lay on the bed, recalling the experiences of the day. Although she was full of fear and anxiety at the beginning, her later interactions with Evan made her feel a touch of warmth.

From then on, An Qing and Evan really became close. Evan would always appear when An Qing was feeling down, bringing her comfort and encouragement. And with Evan's company, An Qing gradually walked out of that shadow.

When Ryan saw his mother and An Qing approaching, he frowned and asked, "Butler, who are they?"

The butler quickly bowed and replied, "Master, this is a good friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her daughter is An Qing."

Ryan looked An Qing up and down, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Oh? The daughter of the princess's best friend? What brings you here?"

An Qing felt a little nervous under his scrutinizing gaze, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.

Mother smiled and said, "Master Ryan, my daughter An Qing has heard of your mansion for a long time and has come to visit you specially."

Ryan snorted coldly: "Visiting? I'm afraid you have other purposes."

Mother's expression changed slightly, and she quickly explained, "Master, you misunderstood. We have absolutely no other intentions."

Ryan was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, since you're here, come in."

Mother and An Qing followed Ryan into the mansion. An Qing looked around curiously along the way, her heart filled with amazement at this luxurious mansion.

Entering the living room, Ryan casually sat in the main seat and said coldly: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Mother smiled apologetically and said, "Master, I heard that the family is planning a grand banquet recently. My daughter An Qing has some experience in banquet preparations and may be able to help."

Ryan raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully, "Her? What can a little girl do?"

An Qing bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say, "Master, you might as well let me try. If I can't satisfy you, my mother and I will leave immediately."

Ryan looked at her, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll give you this chance, don't let me down."

In the following days, An Qing devoted herself to the preparations for the banquet. Her intelligence and serious and responsible attitude gradually changed Ryan's impression of her.

As the banquet preparations progressed, An Qing demonstrated her exceptional organizational skills and unique creativity, meticulously selecting the floral arrangements and arranging the delicious dishes, taking care of every detail.

Ryan would occasionally come to check on the progress, and every time he would see An Qing busy and focused. Gradually, the disdain in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a hint of appreciation.

Finally, the day of the banquet arrived. Guests arrived one after another, praising the exquisite decoration and thoughtful arrangements. Ryan moved among the crowd, a satisfied smile on his face.

When he saw An Qing standing aside, looking a little tired but with joy in her eyes, he walked up and said, "An Qing, you did a great job this time."

An Qing was delighted to hear the praise and said, "Thank you for your recognition, Master."

After the banquet, my mother and An Qing were about to leave, but Ryan stopped them and said, "If you need anything in the future, you can come often."

Mother and An Qing smiled at each other, bowed and thanked, then left.

After that, An Qing and Ryan had more and more interactions, and their relationship became more and more subtle.

A blurry figure appeared behind Ryan. He turned around and grabbed it with one hand, but it was empty. He shouted in frustration: "Li!"

She chuckled and said, "Ryan, it's still the same."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan's body began to undergo strange changes, gradually turning into a huge bear. Ryan cursed in his heart, he had never expected to lose control and transform at this time.

Li looked at him with interest, a sly look in his eyes: "Look at how you look now, you are really in a mess."

Ryan roared angrily and tried to rush towards Li, but his movements were slow due to the changes in his body.

Li dodged his attack with a slight flash and continued to tease, "Why, you can't even touch me?"

Ryan's eyes were almost spitting fire, and the anger in his heart reached its peak.
