"His!"

"boom!"

The pants were pulled apart by gravity and torn in two.

Immediately, a force as powerful as a collapsing object struck his waist.

Gu Hancheng was knocked away.

Ye Xingshu suppressed her excitement, her gaze following the photons that scattered like starlight.

With his pants ripped and only wearing black underwear, Gu Hancheng's face was ashen and contorted. He broke down in his defenses and roared, "Ye Xingshu!"

Bodyguards: "..."

It must have been quite a struggle for them to hold back their laughter.

The halo has shattered!

No, or rather, it's half broken.

Watching the starlight dissipate, she turned around and saw Gu Hancheng like this, and whistled, "Hancheng, nice legs."

Gu Hancheng's face was dark, his teeth were practically grinding to powder, and his eyes were blazing with boundless rage: "I'm going to kill you!"

Ye Xingshu smiled and opened her arms: "Come on."

Half of the halo hung precariously around Gu Hancheng's waist, its light flashing intermittently, as he teetered on the brink of death.

"boom!"

Gu Hancheng snatched the bodyguard's gun and fired a shot at her!

Ye Xingshu shifted her body slightly, and a bullet grazed her hair, scorching a strand.

After the halo shattered, Ye Xingshu felt a continuous stream of spiritual energy converging on her.

Even being shot by Gu Hancheng couldn't suppress her excitement and agitation.

So this is what it feels like to shatter the halo of destiny!

She really liked it.

"boom!"

Gu Hancheng fired again.

Ye Xingshu swiftly dodged, and then almost instantly rushed in front of him, her cold, white, jade-like hand reaching for his waist again.

Gu Hancheng was startled and quickly retreated.

After both shots missed, Ye Xingshu grabbed his hands and used them to press against his head.

"boom!"

The recoil made Gu Hancheng's hands and head go numb.

He narrowly avoided Ye Xingshu's counterattack at the cost of dislocating his hand.

The bodyguards behind her reacted and attacked Ye Xingshu from behind. Ye Xingshu ducked and retreated, feeling a strong pull that was tearing her soul out of this world.

I couldn't help but curse under my breath.

Clenching my teeth, I fought against the pulling sensation.

You can't just let her in and out as you please!

The reins should be in her hands.

Ye Xingshu's breathing gradually became heavy, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his counterattacks clearly weakened.

Gu Hancheng seemed to see an opportunity. "Don't kill him yet, just suppress him."

The bodyguards had clearly been instructed by Kong Qingyou to change their killing move to a suppression move, but Ye Xingshu countered by attacking their vitals, causing the gun to misfire and killing two of them.

As Ye Xingshu's breathing became increasingly rapid, she turned and rushed into the sparse, low-lying woods.

Despite the rain that had fallen all night, the dust in the wasteland quickly rose up. Ye Xingshu's darting out was so fast that even Gu Hancheng was stunned.

The Ye Xingshu of the past would never have turned and run away.

His eyes flashed, and he felt that something was off about Ye Xingshu.

He was about to give chase when he remembered that he was naked, and his face darkened. He could only watch as the remaining bodyguards pursued Ye Xingshu.

*

Ye Xingshu cursed as she ran toward the safe zone.

As the pulling sensation intensified, Ye Xingshu could feel the pain transmitted from her soul.

She took a detour to shake off the people behind her, completely oblivious to which direction she was heading.

"Sisi~"

Poisonous snakes came from all directions.

There are also some animals that shouldn't be here, which have wandered from the water source into this barren and dangerous area.

This area is human territory, and they generally don't easily venture here.

But today is different; they received a distress call from an animal ahead.

The way animals communicate is not much worse than how humans communicate.

"Boom!"

Gunfire erupted behind me.

The animals' cries of anguish were transmitted through her powerful mental energy.

"Get out of the way, don't come any closer," Ye Xingshu shouted through gritted teeth in a low, hoarse voice.

The animals that continued to gather here let out low growls and then all dispersed.

As the gunshots rang out, two helicopters followed overhead. Ye Xingshu knew that it was the right thing to do to let them scatter. Once she fell asleep, without anyone to command them, they would be scattered and would not even be left ashes under human attack.

Ye Xingshu struggled against the mysterious pulling sensation while dodging the pursuers behind her and evacuating the animal herd.

"boom!"

The bullets struck near her feet; the pursuit was imminent.

Ye Xingshu shoved to the side, then jumped out, snapped the opponent's neck on the spot, and seized the equipment.

She raised her hand, aimed it at the helicopter chasing after her, and gave a cold, smirk.

"Boom!"

The helicopter, flying low, veered sideways toward the small hill.

The sparks from the impact almost hit Ye Xingshu. She adjusted her breathing, squinted, and aimed at the plane behind her.

The ones behind were clearly much smarter and suddenly soared high.

However, they also lost track of Ye Xingshu. As they searched further, Ye Xingshu seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Ye Xingshu leaned against a safe spot, maintaining her last bit of sanity. After confirming that the surrounding environment was absolutely safe, she decisively closed her eyes!

"Passenger, you have arrived at Beijing Airport in Country Z! Wake up," the flight attendant's anxious voice came from beside you.

Someone was shaking her.

An uneasy atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

Ye Xingshu suddenly opened her eyes and met several tense or uneasy strangers' faces.

The pretty flight attendant breathed a sigh of relief. If Ye Xingshu hadn't woken up soon, they would have had to take her to the hospital. If that didn't work, they might have had to cremate her.

The tour guide was talking non-stop to the flight attendants.

Ye Xingshu walked out of the Beijing airport indifferently, despite the tour guide's complaints.

The real-world capital city is somewhat different from the imperial capital in the story, but not by much.

The tour guide urged them on again, and Ye Xingshu fastened her baseball cap and boarded the bus that had come to pick them up.

Their residence was located on the edge of the Third Ring Road.

When she entered the hotel, she paid special attention to the surveillance equipment inside and outside.

The tour guide told everyone to go to the third floor of the hotel for dinner on their own, and then go back to their rooms to adjust to the time difference.

Ye Xingshu didn't go into the room, but turned around and left the hotel.

The Mu family lives in the city center.

She stood outside the restricted area, secretly observing the surrounding terrain.

This area is almost entirely private territory where tourists are not allowed. Ye Xingshu had only taken two steps when she was stopped by the guards at the guard post, who told her that she could not take pictures or get too close.

Ye Xingshu went to the Xu family's place.

The Xu family's security was even more stringent.

Let alone ordinary people, even people of certain status have to beg and plead to get a visit, and even then, they might not be able to get in.

Ye Xingshu sat on the stone bollard on the sidewalk, looking at the entrance from a distance.

It was noticeable that both the Mu family and the Xu family had genetically modified people guarding their perimeter.

They weren't as easy to deal with as the ones she had encountered in Pakistan before.

Black Hawk's statement that the DNA primer was in Beijing also indicates that the cyborgs within Beijing are several times stronger than those she has encountered.

Ye Xingshu concealed her aura, making herself appear like an ordinary person, at most attracting a few glances, and not being regarded as a dangerous individual.

After sitting for about ten minutes, Ye Xingshu got up and left.

The High School Affiliated to Peking University.

At noon, the school gate was bustling with students coming and going.

A girl with long hair and an elegant appearance was stopped by a classmate: "Muwei, the seniors are waiting, aren't you going to come along?"

Several female classmates, holding books, surrounded Mu Wei, pulling her along with a hint of coquetry, "Let's go together, it's just for the time it takes to eat a meal."

Mu Wei thought for a moment, then looked at the driver and car that had come to pick her up, and said, "Wait a moment."

The girl ran towards the driver, then ran back a moment later, a smile on her face: "It's all settled, let's go!"

Several girls were chatting and laughing as they walked hand in hand with her on the sidewalk.

They hadn't gone far when they were blocked by people in front of them.

Mu Wei stared blankly at the beautiful and handsome girl in front of him.

"Is she a senior in high school?"

"No way, he looks unfamiliar."

"Excuse me, could you move aside?" one of the girls said.

"Mu Wei?" Ye Xingshu stared at the girl who looked seven-tenths like that woman and called out her name.

Mu Wei looked at Ye Xingshu with suspicion, her tone becoming cautious: "You know me?"

"Who doesn't know the Mu family's daughter?" Ye Xingshu smiled, her smile quite infectious.

"Who are you?" Mu Wei asked warily.

Seeing Mu Wei's reaction, Ye Xingshu's smile faded, and she suddenly pulled down her hat brim and turned to leave.

"Miss Mu Wei," a cold, deep voice came from behind. Then, a young man appeared in front of Mu Wei, his sharp eyes glancing at Ye Xingshu's departing figure, his imposing aura carrying a sense of oppression.

"You're here, does that mean Mother has returned!" Mu Wei smiled with delight.

“Yes, the lady is waiting for you on the other side,” the young man said.

Mu Wei happily waved goodbye to her classmate and followed the man to see her mother.

On the other side of the lane, Mu Wei opened the car door: "Mom!"

A graceful and elegant middle-aged woman stepped out of the car with a smile, her eyes also filled with affection as she looked at her daughter. "I've made a reservation, shall we go eat together?"

Mu Wei hugged the woman's arm affectionately: "You've been gone for so long, did you bring me any gifts?"

"Yes," the woman said helplessly, pinching the girl's cheek.

Then they happily got into the car together.

The dozen or so modified superhumans accompanying the convoy cautiously observed their surroundings. Finding no suspicious individuals, they spoke into their walkie-talkies, and the convoy started moving and departed.

Standing in front of the mall's glass window, looking down at everything, Ye Xingshu gave a sarcastic laugh, "So you do have a mother's love after all."

She turned and went back to the hotel, her mind filled with images of the warm moments between mother and daughter, and closed her eyes with a smile.

“You’re awake,” a low, slightly husky voice came from above her ear.

Ye Xingshu sat leaning against the broken wall, her head resting on her strong legs, and could see the twilight sinking below the horizon.

Still somewhat dazed, Ye Xingshu forced a smile, then tried to widen it until it was radiant and fearless. "Got a cigarette, Brother Du?"

After a moment of silence, the owner of the thigh she was leaning on bent down and brought his half-smoked cigarette to her lips, stained with blood that made her tremble.

She took a puff, then picked it up with her hand; her lips trembled slightly, making it impossible for her to hold the cigarette in her mouth.

"Cough cough..." She coughed and laughed at the same time, as if she was trying to cover something up, or as if she wasn't hiding anything at all.
