After Cang Xingyue left, Lu Siyan secretly followed behind her. He originally wanted to see where she would go since she was so determined to leave, but he didn't expect that this woman would just walk aimlessly.

She fell into the mud and got up countless times along the way, but she showed no intention of going back to the manor to hide. He couldn't help but admire what a stubborn and persistent woman she was.

Suddenly, a filthy scoundrel barged into his territory, extremely arrogant and audacious, which quickly displeased him, and he immediately prepared to deal with it.

but……

This bastard seems to know this poor little thing, and it even seems like he hates him?

He suddenly became interested in seeing how this stubborn woman would respond.

From the moment she entered the manor, he knew she was an ordinary person without any special abilities, while this maggot-like scum seemed to be quite powerful.

He watched all this with great interest from the hiding place in the rain. He had thought that the woman would run away, that she would be swallowed whole by this maggot, but the result was unexpected.

Instead of running away, the woman prepared to fight this maggot head-on, refusing to back down even after being repeatedly abused.

Even when he was on the verge of death from his injuries, he did not forget to fight back and cut the maggots.

He's the kind of person who holds grudges and seeks revenge.

Lu Siyan's face showed appreciation; he was becoming increasingly interested in this woman.

It's such a pity that such an interesting person died like this.

The monster's severed jaw grew back in less than ten minutes. It panted heavily and glared angrily at the lifeless Cang Xingyue on the ground.

The monster's body had visibly thinned out, and its belly had shrunk.

"Food... I'm so hungry... I want... food..."

The monster gradually became frenzied and desperately crawled towards Cang Xingyue.

Suddenly a figure flashed past it.

In the blink of an eye, Cang Xingyue on the ground disappeared, and when she looked again, she was being held in Lu Siyan's arms.

The monster became even more agitated when its 'food' vanished.

He turned his head to look at them angrily.

The moment the monster saw Lu Siyan, its anger turned into fear, and it trembled uncontrollably as it lay prostrate on the ground.

The overwhelming sense of oppression felt like a giant hand gripping it, while the sharp, cold gray eyes were like knives slowly slicing through its body.

The monster kept retreating, even its escape was done with extreme caution.

Lu Siyan raised his hand, golden lightning crackling in his palm, his murderous gaze sweeping over the monster.

No...no...

The monster looked terrified and quickly turned around, twisting its body as it crawled towards the stream.

Although it was fast, it was no faster than lightning. The golden lightning struck the monster's back with irresistible force.

The monster froze instantly, unable to even utter a howl. In a short while, it was charred black by the electricity and turned into black carbon powder, which was then washed away by the heavy rain, leaving no trace.

Lu Siyan didn't glance at it once throughout the entire process. His attention was entirely focused on the woman in his arms. He raised his hand to brush away her stray hairs, his fingertips brushing against her cheek, the icy touch offering no warmth whatsoever.

Just like his body temperature, it was bone-chillingly cold.

He placed his index finger on the tip of her nose, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he detected her faint breathing.

Fortunately, I'm still alive.

A white light emerged from Lu Siyan's hand, gradually enveloping Cang Xingyue's entire body. After a while, her body temperature gradually returned to normal, and her pale face regained its color.

Seeing this, Lu Siyan smiled with satisfaction and carried her back to the manor.

In the bathroom...

Lu Siyan placed Cang Xingyue on the plush carpet and filled the bathtub with warm water.

After doing all this, he went to another bathroom, took off his soaked shirt, and casually tossed it on the sink.

Protected by the air shield, he wasn't wet by a single drop of rain, but because he was holding the soaking wet Cang Xingyue, his clothes inevitably got soaked as well.

Lu Siyan took a quick shower and changed into clean clothes.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he opened the wardrobe, ran his fingers across a row of shirts, and finally stopped on a slightly loose black shirt, which he then took off.

He went back to the bathroom where Cang Xingyue was kept. Instead of pushing the door open, he knocked on the door from the outside. "I brought you a change of clothes. Open the door and get them."

He was met with silence.

Lu Siyan raised an eyebrow. Was he still not awake?

He pushed open the door directly and entered.

Upon entering, one sees Cang Xingyue lying on the ground, with the laundry detergent bottle on the floor knocked over and her head resting on it. She appears to be feeling cold and is covered with a torn bath towel.

One end of the bath towel was draped over her body, while the other end was still hanging on the towel rack.

Lu Siyan's lips twitched.

This woman really doesn't mistreat herself.

Lu Siyan put the clothes in his hand aside, walked over and squatted down next to her.

"Get up and change your wet clothes."

The woman in front of him frowned, turned over, and continued sleeping.

Lu Siyan: "..."

Lu Siyan decisively slipped one hand under Cang Xingyue's neck and the other under her legs, lifting her up in his arms and striding to the bathtub where he tossed her in.

With a splash, a large spray of water erupted from the bathtub.

Cang Xingyue instantly regained consciousness and struggled in the water. After a moment, she grabbed the edge of the bathtub and surfaced, gasping for air.

Lu Siyan leaned leisurely against the sink, looking at her with a smile.

Seeing his appearance, Cang Xingyue immediately knew that he was the one who had thrown her into the water.

"you……"

With her groggy brain still not fully awake after being forcibly 'started up', Cang Xingyue stared blankly at Lu Siyan, as if asking: Why did you throw me into the water?

"I wanted to wake you up to take a shower and change your clothes, but you wouldn't wake up, so this is the only way I can do it."

Cang Xingyue nodded, then asked, "Did you save me?"

She doesn't believe that she killed the monster with her final blow, nor does she believe that the monster took pity on her.

That monster possesses powerful healing abilities, as well as great destructive power and speed, making it very difficult to kill. Currently, the only person in the vicinity who could save her from its clutches is probably this seemingly unfathomable and mysterious man in front of her.

Moreover, all her injuries had healed. Even a superhuman could not heal so quickly, let alone an ordinary person like her.

“It’s me.” He looked into her eyes, a playful smile on his lips. “So, how do you plan to thank me?”

Upon hearing this, Cang Xingyue straightened up, bowed deeply to Lu Siyan, and said, "Thank you for saving me."

Lu Siyan was somewhat disappointed: "That's it?"

Cang Xingyue awkwardly clutched the hem of her clothes; a simple thank you was certainly not enough to repay her. But she had nothing but her life, which she had just been given a second chance at.

She straightened up. "I'm sorry, a simple thank you is too meager. I only have this one life now. If you need me, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you."

Amused by her solemn and serious demeanor, he said, "I have countless zombie armies fighting for me, so I don't need an ordinary person like you to go through fire and water for me. You'd better keep your life for yourself."

"An army of zombies?!"

Cang Xingyue stared in shock, her eyes wide.
