Cang Xingyue had no choice but to follow.

Liu Yu followed those people to the so-called lively place, when a wind blade grazed her cheek and cut off a strand of her hair.

Her steps froze instantly, the faint pain from the wound on her face constantly reminding her of the danger she was in.

She took a deep breath and, still shaken, picked up the strand of hair from the ground.

That was close; my neck almost broke.

Her earlier stubbornness and defiant mood had vanished, and belated rationality told her that she should leave immediately.

"What are you doing?! Do you even want to stay at the base after making such a mess?"

A bright, delicate voice came through, its tone subtly displeased.

Liu Yu stopped in her tracks and quickly turned around to look in the direction from which the voice came, trying to see who the voice belonged to, but the crowd that surrounded her completely blocked her view.

She rushed into the crowd, pushing through one person after another to reach the front. The owner of the voice was facing away from her, one hand on his hip, scolding the people who were fighting.

She had long, wavy hair that reached her waist, wore a purple strapless bodycon dress, and silver high heels. A black python tattoo snaked across her left arm.

The snake's tail was at her wrist, coiling around her arm from bottom to top, while its head lazily rested on her shoulder, its scarlet eyes seemingly staring at the person in front of it, giving off a dangerous yet alluring feeling.

Liu Yu's heart was pounding. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were fixed anxiously on the woman in front of her. Nervously, she rubbed one arm with the other to calm her agitated mind.

Turn around, turn around quickly!

At that moment, she wished she could rush forward and pull the person aside so she could see what she looked like.

"Fighting and brawling without regard for the consequences, destroying houses—you guys are really something! If I hadn't come to patrol today, I wouldn't have discovered how recklessly you've behaved!"

She continued to scold the people who had made mistakes, and those being scolded silently lowered their heads, put their hands behind their backs, and dared not utter a word of rebuttal.

"Base Commander..." At this moment, a boy covered his injured and bleeding arm, looking aggrieved at Chi Feiyan who was scolding him.

Hearing the sound, Chi Feiyan turned around and looked at him.

The moment Liu Yu saw her face clearly, she felt her blood freeze, a chill rise from the soles of her feet, as if a thunderclap had exploded in her ears, and the buzzing in her ears made her unable to hear any of the sounds around her.

She stood there like a statue, her fingers gripping the hem of her dress tightly, her eyes fixed on Chi Feiyan's face without blinking.

"How did you get injured? Did they do it?"

Seeing the boy's injured arm, Chi Feiyan frowned. She took a step forward, gently picked up his injured arm, and asked him softly.

The boy, overwhelmed by their attentive care, felt his pent-up grievances burst forth, and tears welled up in his eyes. He nodded and began to recount his ordeal: "I was at home when they suddenly started beating my house. I was nearly crushed to death. After I escaped, I tried to reason with them, but they beat me up as well."

"Base Commander, you have to stand up for me!"

Chi Feiyan gently patted his head reassuringly and assured him, "I will stand up for you."

She let go of his arm. "You're injured. Go to the medical office first. I'll have someone arrange for you to go to your new place later."

The boy thanked him repeatedly with gratitude, then quickly ran away.

A blush rose on the boy's face as he recalled the beautiful woman who had been so close to him.

"The base commander is beautiful inside and out. We are so lucky to have such a base commander."

Chi Feiyan turned around, her hand subtly brushing against the hem of her skirt.

With a stern expression, she said to the men who were fighting, "You guys have to pay for the damage to the house, and you've injured people, so you'll be punished. I'll punish you by making you clean the base for a month. Do you agree?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances. This wasn't the first or second time they had fought, damaged base facilities, and accidentally injured people. Being expelled from the base wouldn't be an exaggeration, but now they only needed to clean up the base for a month to be exempt from punishment, which was already a very lenient punishment.

"We accept the penalty."

"Very well, in that case, everyone can leave now." She waved her hand, signaling everyone to depart.

The onlookers left with some regret.

Firstly, after this incident, it's unlikely there will be any exciting fights to watch. Secondly, the punishment given to these individuals was far too lenient, making those present feel that the base commander's methods were excessively merciful.

Liu Yu stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but Cang Xingyue, who had been watching from the side, stepped forward to help her up.

The moment their hands touched, Cang Xingyue looked at Liu Yu in surprise, "Why are your hands so cold?"

It felt like touching snow in winter.

Liu Yu forced a smile and waved her hand weakly, "I'm fine, maybe it's just a bit cold from the wind."

Cang Xingyue looked up at the sun, which was radiating a halo in the sky. The sun was blazing, and even the wind was hot.

How can it be cooled at such a temperature?

Liu Yuxin turned away absentmindedly, her steps heavy, and followed the crowd away.

Cang Xingyue sighed helplessly.

She really couldn't figure out what Liu Yu was thinking, which only made her more curious.

After the onlookers had left, Xing Wuxiu strolled over to Chi Feiyan and handed her a handkerchief.

Chi Feiyan's gentle and kind expression had been replaced by annoyance and indifference. She took the handkerchief and wiped the boy's hand that she had just grabbed.

"Does he really think he's a benevolent base commander?" Xing Wuxiu joked with a smile.

Chi Feiyan threw away the handkerchief and snorted coldly: "In a role-playing game, you naturally have to act your part."

When her gaze fell on Xing Wuxiu's bleeding arm, she raised an eyebrow and teased, "It's quite a rare sight to see you get injured. I thought no one in the base could hurt you anymore."

Xing Wuxiu took Chi Feiyan's hand and placed it on his heart. "Why is no one here? Our base commander has been stirring my heartstrings every day, but in the end he doesn't take responsibility, which has hurt me a lot."

His tone was helpless and aggrieved, but a smile played on his lips, and his ambiguous gaze lingered on Chi Feiyan's face.

Chi Feiyan also revealed a playful smile, tightening her fingers on Xing Wuxiu's chest, "Really? Then why don't I dig out your heart now and see if it's really as you say?"

"Tsk, so clueless about romance." Xing Wuxiu curled his lip in disinterest and put her hand down.

Chi Feiyan also withdrew her smile and said disdainfully, "Stop trying to use your flirting tricks on me. You're so slick and disgusting."

"Go, take those guys back with you. I'm going to teach them a lesson about the base's rules and show them what it means to be a decent human being."

"Hey... Lao Chi, do you really think I'm your subordinate? You're ordering me around like this?"

"I've sent you around more than once or twice, what's one more time?" She kicked him and urged, "Go now!"
