The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Chi's expression froze instantly, a hint of disbelief and frustration flashed in his eyes, and his originally upright posture stiffened slightly.

He never expected that Jiang Liujing would say something like this after holding it in for a long time.

Mo Ya was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he almost cried.

"Hahahaha, father? You're really good at describing things. This... this is too amazing!"

He laughed and patted Wen Xun beside him, as if this description hit his funny bone.

Chi's face turned black and he glared at Mo Ya coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Mo Ya's laughter died abruptly at his glance, and he shrank back. Chu Zhou was in the driver's seat, and Mo Ya could only whisper to Wen Xun, "How terrifying, how terrifying."

Wen Xun glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Serves you right."

He thought that Mo Ya had become bolder because he could talk to Jiang Liujing, and even dared to make jokes about Chi.

Jiang Liujing seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate, and he felt a little embarrassed looking at Chi's stiff expression.

"That's not what I meant. I wanted to say that you've always taken care of me and been very restrained, just like a father taking care of his child. You're very measured."

He tried to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt that he was making things worse.

Jiang Liujing finally lowered his head in frustration, twisting his fingers in confusion.

Chi took a deep breath, slowly stood up, walked to Jiang Liujing, and leaned forward slightly to look him in the eye.

"Am I just like a father in your heart?"

His voice was low, with a barely perceptible hint of grievance.

Jiang Liujing looked at Chi who was so close to him, feeling the aura emanating from him, and his heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Of course...that's not it."

Jiang Liujing certainly knew that Chi's love for him was not the love a father has for his son. And his own love for Chi was not just out of a fatherly dependence.

But none of them have said it yet.

No one has yet to reveal the relationship between them, whether it is lifesavers, roommates, humans and cats, or some other, more advanced relationship.

Chi was still a little dissatisfied, but after seeing Jiang Liujing's helpless reaction, he calmed down.

If Jiang Liujing is pushed now, he will most likely admit it, but Chi is willing to give him more time to adapt.

She stroked his hair and sat down beside him: "No rush, you can think about it slowly."

Mo Ya and Wen Xun secretly exchanged glances across from them.

Mo Ya: "They really haven't done it yet!"

Wen Xun: "I told you before, there's no way Jiang could fall in love with his personality."

Mo Ya: "But what's the difference between them and talking! I can't even get a word in!"

Mo Ya, a chatterbox, was almost suffocated to death under Chi's pressure.

Fortunately, everyone arrived after a while and the strange atmosphere in the car returned to normal.

Mo Ya was finally able to speak, and he told Jiang Liujing incessantly about what they had seen during their missions outside in recent days. Jiang Liujing also responded and looked at the scenery outside the car through the glass.

The weather is very good today. The sky above is a clean blue with wisps of white clouds floating in the air. The world is vast and free.

Under the dome, the convoy started slowly and headed towards the city gate accompanied by lively waving and shouting along the way.

"Everyone, come back safely!"

This is the sound Jiang Liujing hears most often.

His black eyes were clear and reflected those unfamiliar faces like a mirror.

Even if we have never met before, blessings can be given so easily.

Mo Ya laughed beside him and said proudly, "How is it? Doesn't it feel like home? Bases like the B City Base are rare, right?"

Their three-person team had been to many bases, but this was the first time they had encountered a base like the B City Base, which still retained a lot of pre-apocalyptic humanistic style.

Ordinary people here have the same rights to survive as those with special abilities. They get paid for their own labor and don't even encounter much discrimination. This is all thanks to a certain S-class mercenary in City B who sets an example.

He once witnessed a person with special abilities saying that ordinary people did not deserve to live. He punched the person in the face and seriously injured him. He said that they were no different from ordinary people in front of him. If that was the case, if he wanted them to die, they should obey.

The terrified mutant begged Chi for mercy with blood all over his head. But Chi was still not satisfied and sent a message to others, asking those who thought they were stronger than others to challenge him.

He fought continuously for seven days and seven nights, crushing all challengers under his feet.

This battle not only established his status as the strongest in the base, but also made the psychics who had experienced the feelings of the weak curb their arrogance. At least within the B City base, they all followed the rules honestly.

Mo Ya paused and took a sip of water: "You look surprised?"

"Yeah," Jiang Liujing nodded, turned to Chi, and said honestly with a gentle smile in his eyes, "I can't believe Chi would do such a thing."

He felt that everyone in the base was afraid of him, and Chi himself didn't seem like the kind person who would help others.

However, it might be that he didn't know Chi well enough and only saw his cold surface, Jiang Liujing thought.

Mo Ya waved his hand. "Most of those who are afraid of him are people with special abilities. The ordinary people in the base are quite grateful to him. There was a public opinion poll conducted before, and Chi's popularity in the base is far ahead of all the mercenaries. However, the higher-ups in the base are still quite wary of him. After all, his power is too great."

If it were him, he would have to be afraid. Chi was like a person without desires. He didn't like beauty and didn't covet wealth. He was like a cold and powerful task machine.

Such a person without weaknesses is a reliable sword when he is not causing trouble, but if he wants to seize power one day, he can instantly turn into a dagger that pierces the heart.

Chi Que suddenly said to Jiang Liujing: "It's not to help them."

Everyone in the car was stunned.

Chi stopped talking and just stared at Jiang Liujing.

Only he knew why he took action at that time.

He couldn't find Jiang Liujing for a long time, nor did he receive any news about Jiang Liujing. He thought that Jiang Liujing was also in the predicament of not awakening and was trapped somewhere he didn't know.

He couldn't control his anxiety when he thought that Jiang Liujing might be criticized or even have his life threatened by the psychic like that ordinary person.

His actions were indeed not for the greater good, but for personal reasons.

But Jiang Liujing smiled at him after a moment of hesitation, his pupils slightly curved under the mask.

"Whatever the reason, you helped them."

A gentleman does not care about his deeds.

In his view, it was perfectly normal for Chi to receive gratitude and support from those who had benefited from his invisible kindness, and Chi deserved it.
