Dragon Jade escorted Kong Xiang and Li Yuxuan to Milu's room, secretly giving them a "good luck, take care" look before leaving.
"Let's walk around the house and take a look," Su Ruolan said to Kong Xiang.
Kong Xiang touched the walls and furniture, slowly moving forward.
"Kong Xiang, what are you doing? Do you need my help?" Li Yuxuan couldn't help but ask as she noticed Kong Xiang's unusual behavior.
"Looking for me, handsome? Oh, I didn't realize before that you're blind. I haven't encountered this type before; it must be interesting," Milu said as she walked out from the inner room, leaning against the doorframe with one hand on her hip and her legs crossed, thinking she struck a striking pose. She wore a cute top and a short skirt that barely covered her hips, with a zero-centimeter-long black gold stick fastened at her waist, presumably the unsheathed Black Gold Whip.
Su Ruolan's eyes lit up; if she could get her hands on the black gold stick, Milu would be no threat.
Li Yuxuan felt embarrassed seeing Milu like this and turned her head away. "What do you mean by this? Let us go quickly, or I won't hold back."
"Heh, I'm afraid of you holding back," Milu chuckled and sauntered over, suddenly plopping down onto Li Yuxuan's lap. Startled, Li Yuxuan pushed Milu off her.
"What are you doing? You really want to provoke me?" Milu stood up angrily, drawing the Black Gold Whip and swiftly lashed it at Li Yuxuan several times with great speed and force.
Neither Su Ruolan nor Kong Xiang had time to react before Li Yuxuan was severely injured and collapsed to the ground.
"What's wrong? Do you need a few lashes to behave?" Milu taunted, holding the whip handle in one hand while playing with the thin whip in the other, looking down at Kong Xiang disdainfully.
"I want to come over, but your whip is too powerful. Could you put it aside? Look, I'm just an ordinary person who can't see," Kong Xiang said weakly.
"That's more like it. Come here; I promise I won't hit you," Milu replied with satisfaction as she transformed the Black Gold Whip back to its original form and continued to fasten it at her waist.
Kong Xiang cautiously approached Milu, taking one step at a time, closing the distance to nearly two meters.
Suddenly, as if sensing danger, Milu exclaimed, "Wait, just stand there."
Almost simultaneously with her words, Su Ruolan dashed to Milu's side and swiftly snatched the Black Gold Whip, revealing her form as she crossed the meter distance.
"See? I knew you were up to no good," Milu scolded Kong Xiang angrily, then turned to Su Ruolan and snapped, "Give me back my whip."
Su Ruolan held tightly onto the whip and conjured an Ice Sword, lunging it toward Milu. She felt no sympathy for such a woman who harmed the innocent, especially after witnessing her brutal attack on Li Yuxuan. The guilt and anger of not being able to save him surged within her as she unleashed Thunderous Might.
"You think just taking it away will work?" Milu scoffed, dodging the Ice Sword attack with agility. She raised her hand toward the Black Gold Staff and shouted, "Come back to me!"
Su Ruolan immediately felt the Black Gold Staff stirring as if trying to break free. She quickly gripped it with both hands, struggling against Milu's force, her elbows threatening to dislocate from the strain.
"Ruo Lan, quickly absorb the Black Gold Staff into your space; it's a valuable item!" Reset suddenly chimed in, sounding as if just waking up.
Su Ruolan felt a surge of excitement and hurriedly merged her consciousness with Reset. She focused on the Black Gold Staff and whispered, "Absorb."
Milu was initially thrilled to see the Black Gold Staff flying toward her, but in the next moment, it vanished. Rubbing her eyes in disbelief, she exclaimed, "How is this possible?!"
Without the Black Gold Staff, Milu became vulnerable. Su Ruolan swiftly subdued her. Rushing to where Li Yuxuan lay, she saw his face turning golden; he looked like he might not survive.
"Ruo Lan, there are medicines in the space; hurry and give him one," Reset reminded her.
Realizing there were two pills in a box on the second floor of her space, Su Ruolan quickly retrieved one and administered it to Li Yuxuan. She watched as his breath gradually stabilized and energy began to gather within him. Suddenly, the concentration of earth elements in the air thickened noticeably; an unusual phenomenon could no longer be concealed.
Bound by the Wood Vine, Milu's eyes widened in surprise as she stared intently at Su Ruolan. This girl was too peculiar; she was the best candidate and must relay this information to them.
Outside, the soldiers noticed a bright light emanating from the house, and the surrounding energy tightened unusually. One of them cautiously asked, "Captain, are you alright?" When there was no response from inside, they sensed something was wrong and immediately prepared to break down the door.
As soon as the door opened, a barrage of Ice Spikes came crashing down, knocking them unconscious. Li Yuxuan was in the midst of leveling up and could not move or be disturbed. Su Ruolan pulled Milu outside to act as a guardian for Li Yuxuan while instructing Kong Xiang to return to their space, secretly hoping that everything was going smoothly for Dragon Jade and Cheng Xi.
"What exactly are you?" Milu demanded sharply.
"A passerby. You'd better tell your subordinates to stand down, release those innocent people, and disband here. Perhaps we might spare your life," Su Ruolan replied.
"Heh, do you know who I am? My grandfather is a trusted aide of Jiang Commander. You better let me go quickly; if you offend me, how long do you think you can live?" Milu boasted.
Upon hearing Jiang Commander’s name, Su Ruolan's eyes flashed with anger. However, thinking of the bigger picture, she restrained herself and said, "With so many subordinates under Jiang Commander, who knows which soldier your grandfather is?"
"Don't speak ill of my grandfather like that! Who do you think you are? My grandfather participated in the Battle of Huiyang and is a great hero. Let me go now, and I might overlook this," Milu declared arrogantly, showing no awareness of her precarious situation.
"Your grandfather also participated in the Battle of Huiyang? He must be a blood-soaked executioner then. No wonder you treat people like this," Su Ruolan scoffed at Milu.
"What did you say? How dare you slander us! I’m serving my country! You ugly woman, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll kill you!" Milu exclaimed angrily, preparing to lunge at Su Ruolan.
Su Ruolan was startled; could that experimental unit belong to Jiang Zhilin's forces?!
Outside, the Ability users and soldiers rushed over. Seeing Milu bound and sitting on the ground, they raised their guns at Su Ruolan.
"Stop right there, or I'll kill her," Su Ruolan warned, pressing her Ice Sword against Milu's neck with a serious tone.
“Don’t, don’t hurt her. Let Milu go, and I’ll let you leave,” Peng Bo said anxiously.
Su Ruolan looked at Peng Bo and shook her head. “I’m not leaving now. As long as you all stay quiet over there, I won’t harm her.”
“Don’t mind me, grab her and send her to Squad,” Milu suddenly screamed frantically. “I don’t care what happens.”
As soon as the mention of sending her to Squad was made, it was like a secret signal had been activated. The soldiers immediately aimed their guns at Su Ruolan.
“Don’t, don’t shoot!” Peng Bo desperately tried to stop them, but none of the soldiers paid him any mind.
Seeing that they were really going to take action, Su Ruolan had no choice but to throw Milu aside. She conjured up walls of ice at lightning speed to block the barrage of bullets coming her way. Layer upon layer, she continuously absorbed the kinetic energy of the bullets. Li Yuxuan was in a critical moment of leveling up inside the room; with no way to retreat, she could only fight.
The bullets penetrated nearly a hundred layers of ice walls before finally falling to the ground with a clatter. The soldiers looked on in disbelief and continued their fierce assault. Now it was a battle of luck—would the ammunition run out first, or would Su Ruolan’s abilities?
“Monet, come out,” Su Ruolan called.
With a howl, Monet appeared in mid-air, unleashing a whirlwind that captured dozens of bullets and sent them flying back at the soldiers, hitting some squarely in the forehead.
More and more soldiers rushed in. While continuing to create an impromptu site for her Ice Ability to block the incoming fire into Milu’s room, Su Ruolan unleashed countless Wood Vines to bind the soldiers, ensnaring their feet and lifting them off the ground or disarming them by knocking their rifles away.
The scene was chaotic; despite Su Ruolan’s high ability level, she couldn’t withstand the sheer number and firepower of the enemy. In a moment of carelessness, a bullet struck her right chest, sending her crashing against the wall.
