As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

Then, he placed his palm on Mei's fair and delicate hand. In an instant, Raiden Mei clearly felt the warmth from Chen Yuan's palm.

Just then, Raiden Mei, who had been keeping her eyes tightly closed, slowly opened them as if awakened. What she saw was a pair of eyes full of doting affection.

"Don't worry, Mei, I'm here with you. Everything will be alright, just like when we were in Changkong City."

Chen Yuan spoke softly, his voice gentle. Lost in thought, Raiden Mei listened quietly to Chen Yuan's words, feeling a power continuously emanating from them.

The tension that had been tightly gripping my heart dissipated in an instant.

“I understand, Mr. Chenyuan.” Raiden Mei nodded slightly in response. At the same time, her previously stiff fingers began to slowly bend, eventually clenching gently in Chenyuan’s large palm.

At that very moment, the roller coaster, like a wild horse, accelerated to its maximum speed in an instant. The whistling wind and the screams of the tourists intertwined and blended together, creating a wonderful scene.

Amidst the cacophony, Kiana's scream was the loudest. Her body leaned forward involuntarily from the rapid movement, and her delicate face was now filled with a smile of extreme excitement, devoid of any fear.

In contrast, after being comforted by Chen Yuan, Raiden Mei's mood had calmed down considerably, and she was no longer as fearful and uneasy as she had been at the beginning.

'This is what I've been pursuing...' Chen Yuan gazed quietly at the two girls beside him, a warm feeling welling up inside him.

Not only Kiana and Raiden Mei, but also Theresa and the others, every smile and gesture of the girls was deeply imprinted in Chenyuan's heart.

Whether it's joyful laughter or trembling fear, Chenyuan is always willing to stay by their side, sharing those sweet or bitter moments together, and facing every challenge in life.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and the roller coaster sped along the track, accompanied by whooshing sounds and a sense of lightning speed, making one's heart race involuntarily.

In this tense and exciting atmosphere, the roller coaster slowly began to slow down and finally came to a steady stop at the finish line.

Kiana and Raiden Mei opened their tightly closed eyes almost simultaneously. Kiana's eyes gleamed with immense satisfaction. "Awesome!!!"

Raiden Mei, though unable to hide her excitement, was still trembling slightly, making her steps somewhat unsteady.

"Awesome! This is a roller coaster! It's so much fun!" Kiana jumped off her seat, raised her hands high, and shouted excitedly.

Raiden Mei carefully got out of the car, gently patting her chest to calm her still rapidly beating heart. Although she was still somewhat shaken, a faint smile remained on her lips.

At this moment, Kiana finally noticed Raiden Mei's unusual behavior. She quickly suppressed her excitement and ran to Raiden Mei's side. "Mei, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm really fine, Kiana. I'm just still a little shaken up from what happened earlier." Raiden Mei gently shook her head, then turned her gaze to Chen Yuan beside her.

A hint of gratitude and shyness flickered in her eyes as she softly said, "Mr. Chenyuan... thank you..."

Upon hearing Raiden Mei's words, Chen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled softly. Then, he reached out his right hand and gently rubbed Mei's delicate cheek.

A delicate, silky touch came from her fingertips. Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, Mei. We're already as close as family. There's no need for such polite words of thanks between family members."

As Mei listened to Chen Yuan's warm words and felt the warmth on her cheeks, a bright blush instantly spread across her face, which had been slightly pale from riding the roller coaster.

At that moment, she was as shy as a blooming peach blossom, and could only mumble a reply, "Mmm..."

Just then, Kiana, who had been silently observing the interaction between the two, suddenly felt a complex and indescribable emotion welling up inside her.

This feeling didn't stem from dissatisfaction with her past life, but rather from her feelings for Mei. Watching this intimate scene unfold before her, Kiana couldn't help but clench her small hands tightly.

'What am I even thinking about?' Kiana slowly lowered her head, her gaze falling on her clenched hands, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

The extreme excitement I felt from riding the roller coaster was now somewhat overshadowed by a strange mix of emotions welling up inside me.

'Logically speaking, I should be the one making such intimate gestures towards Mei, but why is it that the object of my jealousy now isn't Chen Yuan, but Mei...?'

With these conflicted and complicated thoughts in her heart, Kiana unconsciously walked step by step toward the mortal realm.

Approaching him, she shyly tugged at Chen Yuan's sleeve and asked in a sweet voice, "Chen Yuan, can we go out and play together again next time?"

Upon hearing Kiana's words, Chen Yuan turned to look at her delicate and lovely face, his eyes revealing a hint of doting affection.

He then raised his hand and gently stroked Kiana's hair, smiling as he replied, "Of course, no problem, Kiana."

"As long as you're willing, I'll always be by your side, no matter when or where. Let's pinky swear, it's a deal."

After saying that, Chen Yuan extended his right little finger, and Kiana, seeing this, quickly extended her left little finger as well, and their fingers gently intertwined.

This simple yet childlike gesture now symbolizes their purest promise to each other.

Raiden Mei watched this heartwarming scene unfold quietly, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

Then, she gracefully extended her hands and gently enveloped Chen Yuan and Kiana's intertwined fingers, as if cherishing an incomparably precious treasure.

However, at that very moment, an indescribable, chilling coldness suddenly surged up from Chenyuan's back without warning.

It was as if a cold snake was slowly climbing up Chen Yuan's spine, making him shiver involuntarily. The terrifying feeling of being stared at by a ferocious beast also followed him like a shadow, making Chen Yuan extremely uncomfortable all over.

Almost instinctively, the latter turned around quickly, his eyes eagerly searching for any movement behind him. Just then, a dark figure, like a ghost, vanished in a fleeting moment from a dark corner not far away.

That brief glance sent Chen Yuan's heart leaping into his throat, a strong sense of foreboding growing wildly in his heart like weeds.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the direction where the dark figure had disappeared, muttering to himself, "That hostile aura..."

His tone was flat and devoid of any emotion, but his furrowed brows and tense body clearly betrayed his inner unease. "You all stay obediently behind me!"

Raiden Mei and Kiana, standing nearby, exchanged glances after hearing Chen Yuan's words. They could both clearly see the tension in each other's eyes.

Just moments ago they were immersed in laughter and joy, but seeing Chen Yuan's solemn expression, even the usually carefree Kiana realized that the situation was probably not good.

"Understood, Mr. Chenyuan," Raiden Mei replied first, her voice trembling slightly.

“I understand, Chen Yuan!” Kiana quickly echoed, clenching her fist tightly. “To disturb my entertainment is unforgivable!”

Chen Yuan nodded slightly in agreement, then gently stroked Kiana and Mei's hair, encouraging them, "Don't be afraid, Kiana, Mei. No matter what dangers we encounter, I'm here for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan extended two symbiotes to bind Kiana and Raiden Mei, and sped off like an arrow toward Theresa and the others.

Throughout the journey, Chen Yuan remained highly vigilant, his eyes scanning the surroundings like a hawk, not missing a single sound or movement.

Just as they passed an inconspicuous little stall, that chilling feeling that sent shivers down their spines returned without warning.

Sure enough, before anyone could react, a black figure suddenly darted out from behind them like a ghost and pounced straight at Chen Yuan with lightning speed.

"Damn it! It's like a persistent ghost!" Chen Yuan cursed under his breath, a serious expression on his face. In the blink of an eye, he suddenly stopped, his entire body twisting around.

At the same time, the symbiotes within his body began to gush forth continuously from his arms. Like living things, they intertwined and entwined, eventually coalescing into a massive shield.

In the blink of an eye, the shield had completely protected Chen Yuan and the others.

However, just a second later, a raging inferno, like a roaring fire dragon, slammed into the shield formed by the symbiote with a destructive force.

In an instant, a deafening roar resounded, and the shield trembled violently under the fierce impact of the flames, as if it might fall apart at any moment.

The once calm air around them became extremely distorted under the ravages of this scorching heat, as if the space itself was about to be torn apart.

"So strong!" Chen Yuan was secretly shocked. He kept his arms firmly in a defensive posture, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on.
