Xu Qian opened the map and saw two patrol teams rush in, beginning to search every container.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she pulled Tong Wu down into the dense grass.
They were very close, shoulders touching, thighs pressed together.
Tong Wu felt a bit uncomfortable and tried to shrink back.
Xu Qian's gaze turned cold, and she reached out, grabbing his sleeve and pulling him closer.
She lowered her voice, "Don't move."
Her warm breath brushed against his face.
Tong Wu stiffened, not daring to move.
Xu Qian opened the live map, seeing the container area filled with green figures, while purple figures were planting bombs in various containers.
Suddenly, shouts echoed.
"Everyone in the bone-scraping room is dead!"
"The skinning room is gone too!"
Black-clothed men searched every container, finding that in the experimental base, all experimental personnel except for one mutant were dead, not even the Young Miss was spared.
The group's faces turned pale, and they froze in place.
The important people were all dead. If they wanted to redeem themselves, they had to capture the prisoner.
The leader's face was grim as he ordered, "Two people per group, divide into 10 teams, and search the surroundings. They definitely haven't gone far!"
Whether the facts were fabricated or real, he had to give the Yu family an explanation, otherwise, all of them would die!
"Yes!"
Countless figures scattered on the map, searching in all directions.
Xu Qian's expression tightened as she pulled Tong Wu down, lowering their profiles.
She whispered, "Master Tong Wu, no matter what happens, you must not move."
"Okay."
Soon, a team approached their position.
Xu Qian's thoughts flickered, and she tightly bound their core crystals.
Moments later, they both fell to the ground, seemingly lifeless.
"Benefactress, what is this?"
Xu Qian replied indifferently, "Dead."
Tong Wu stiffened at the words, but said nothing. He lowered his gaze and silently recited a scripture.
They were close, and the closer they were, the more he could smell the faint sandalwood scent from him.
And his voice was beautiful.
Low and deep, it made her feel a tingling sensation all over.
Suddenly, a wave of heat spread through her lower abdomen.
Xu Qian frowned. Was it acting up at such a crucial moment?
She had been using the Heart Calming Incantation to deal with her episodes these past few days. The time had shortened from an entire night to three hours, then to one hour.
However, there was no time for her to recite the Heart Calming Incantation now.
Xu Qian suppressed the heat in her abdomen, eliminating the few patrolling figures around them before sitting cross-legged and beginning to recite the Heart Calming Incantation.
"Clear water, like water, clear water is the heart."
Tong Wu, hearing the incantation, was startled. He naturally recognized the Heart Calming Incantation, but why was she reciting it now?
He turned his gaze to her beautiful profile.
Her fair cheeks were slightly flushed, her lips slightly parted, and a dense sheen of sweat trickled down her forehead.
Tong Wu was momentarily mesmerized. He had never been so close to a woman before; this was the first time.
The woman's fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and Tong Wu felt a strange heat rising within him as well.
He didn't understand what was happening to him.
"Master Tong Wu, stop looking."
Xu Qian was already trying her best to control herself, yet this monk was still staring intently at her.
She was genuinely afraid she might lose control and pounce on him.
He was a monk!
Tong Wu snapped back to reality, his face slightly red.
"Benefactress, I apologize."
Xu Qian's recitation of the Heart Calming Incantation grew faster and faster. She was nearing her limit!
Tong Wu frowned and said softly, "Benefactress, you cannot recite it so quickly; it will be counterproductive."
"Follow my pace. Clear water, like water, clear water is the heart."
A slow male voice echoed in her ears.
Xu Qian's eyes suddenly opened, her corners and whites turning pink.
"Shut up."
