Lin Xiao took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil. He released the red tassel on her cheek and gently kissed her forehead: "I'll make it up to you properly tonight. I have a feeling the earth may turn upside down earlier than expected."

Upon hearing this, Hongying breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she always struggled to cope when facing Lin Xiao alone.

She quickly straightened her clothes, which Lin Xiao had messed up, and said with a hint of coquettishness, "This isn't compensation for me, it's clearly just you enjoying yourself!"

Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly and straightened his clothes: "Although Yan Lingji is with Wan'er, I still want to go and see for myself. Do you want to come with me?"

Although he knew that Yan Lingji was a Klein-level expert, her childlike voice made him uneasy, so he decided that it would be safer to go in person.

Hongying got up from the bed and said firmly, "I'll go too. I'm at the peak of the Sea Realm now. Although I may not be able to beat you, I will never be a burden to you."

Lin Xiao smiled and put his arm around her waist, gently comforting her, "You've never been a burden."

"Boom!"

A thunderclap ripped across the sky, illuminating the previously gloomy heavens, followed by a torrential downpour that seemed to shroud the entire world in rain, making it even darker.

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Let's go!"

Before he finished speaking, the two figures had disappeared from the spot.

In the heavy rain, the new recruits were rushing to evacuate the civilians.

Lin Wan'er's hair was soaked by the rain and clung to her cheeks, but she didn't care. She just sheltered Yan Lingji inside her collar to keep her dry, while she kept directing the evacuation of the people.

Two young men in the crowd looked impatient.

One of the slightly overweight young men complained, "Why are they evacuating us? It's just raining a bit harder. We've been through this before, why are they evacuating us now?"

The thin young man next to him also said angrily, "That's right, they never evacuate people normally, why are they making such a fuss now?"

Similar scenarios were playing out all around, causing the evacuation efforts to proceed slowly.

The two young men looked at Lin Wan'er, who was busy in the rain, with greedy glints in their eyes.

The skinny young man nudged the fat young man with his elbow: "Hey Fatty, look at that girl, she's really pretty. Shall we take advantage of the chaos and grope her a bit?"

The chubby young man hesitated: "She's a soldier, taking advantage of her might get me arrested, right?"

The thin young man patted him lightly: "With so many people around, who would know it was us?"

The chubby young man was clearly swayed by her words. The two exchanged a glance and then quietly moved closer to Lin Wan'er.

At this moment, an old woman stood impatiently in front of Lin Wan'er: "Young lady, why are you evacuating us if you have nothing better to do? If it weren't for you, we would be hiding in our homes to avoid the rain right now."

Lin Wan'er patiently explained, "Auntie, we also received orders that this heavy rain may trigger mudslides, and we are asked to evacuate everyone as soon as possible. Please cooperate."

The old woman scoffed, "Mudslide? We've lived here for decades and have never seen a mudslide. Now you want us to evacuate?"

Do you think we'd believe that? And where will we live after we leave? We won't leave without a good reason."

Her words resonated with some people who didn't want to leave, making the scene even more chaotic.

The two young men had already arrived not far from Lin Wan'er, their eyes greedily fixed on her delicate body, which was soaked by the rain.

The rain intensified, and the water had already reached above everyone's shoes. Lin Wan'er had never encountered such an unreasonable person before, and she became somewhat anxious.

"Auntie, this is an order from our superiors. Please cooperate. We will arrange accommodations for you during your evacuation."

The old woman's lips curled into a disdainful smile: "You think we'll just cooperate because you tell us to?"

The villagers behind her echoed her sentiments, but some spoke up for Lin Wan'er: "Shi Zhenxiang, don't cause trouble here. This young girl came to help us in the pouring rain, and you're making a scene here. Are you looking for trouble?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman's voice became even sharper: "Zhao Tiezhu, are you having an affair with this little slut? Why are you meddling in my business?"

Zhao Tiezhu was furious. He pointed at Shi Zhenxiang with his finger, his body trembling: "You..."

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er's already anxious mood became even more irritable, and she was so angry that tears were about to come out, but she still forced herself to say, "Grandpa, Grandma, let's evacuate first, and we can talk about other things later, okay?"

Shi Zhenxiang looked at her with disdain: "Do you even have the right to speak here? Get out of here, you little bitch."

At this moment, the two young men had arrived beside Lin Wan'er. They exchanged a glance and then reached out their groping hands to touch Lin Wan'er's breasts and buttocks.

A lewd smile had already appeared on their faces, as if they could already feel the soft touch.

However, a cold voice rang out from behind Lin Wan'er.

Their hands were only a hand's width away from Lin Wan'er, but they were held tightly and could not go any further.

"Am I being too lenient with you? You dare to bully my woman?"

Lin Xiao, with Hong Ying by his side, had already arrived at Lin Wan'er's side.

Lin Xiao grabbed the two youths' hands and forcefully broke their wrists.

The two young men collapsed to the ground in agony, wailing, "My hand!!!"

"My hand is gone!!!"

Shi Zhenxiang was lifted up by the neck by Lin Xiao, who then punched her in the stomach.

They then threw her on the ground like a dead dog. She lay there, her stomach acid churning, vomiting repeatedly.

Lin Xiao returned to Lin Wan'er's side, where Hong Ying was gently holding her.

Looking at Lin Wan'er's reddened eyes, Lin Xiao felt a pang of heartache. He reached out and stroked her cheek, saying with some regret, "I shouldn't have let you become a recruit. With me here, no one can hurt you. But now I've let you suffer."

Lin Wan'er gently hugged Lin Xiao, burying her face in his chest. Her previous grievances seemed to have disappeared. She gently shook her head and said, "It's not your fault. I came here on my own."

At this moment, Shi Zhenxiang finally recovered, and the families of the two young men also came to Lin Xiao's side, and began to criticize and curse him.

"Why are you hitting people? Don't you have any manners? Are you this little bitch's backer? Believe me or not, I'll report you."

"Our son just wanted to touch this little bitch, what right did you have to break their hands?"

As Lin Xiao listened to their words, all warmth vanished from his eyes, replaced by a chilling coldness and intense killing intent. This aura instantly permeated the surroundings, making the atmosphere even more gloomy.

The heavy rain was already chilling, and now it felt even more biting. Shi Zhenxiang and the others involuntarily hugged their arms tightly, trying to dispel the chill that seeped into their bodies.

Behind Lin Xiao, the killing intent materialized and took shape. Then, to their horrified gaze, seven tentacles stretched out like ghosts, tightly wrapping around their necks and effortlessly lifting them into the air.

"Is it because I didn't kill two people that you mistakenly think I'm too merciful?"
