However, this time Weed finally found the whereabouts of Consort Mi, yet they lost track of her again. At this moment, Xian's arrow became the best way for Xiao Yefeng to search for her, and he could only place his hopes on Sophia.
At that moment, Sophia looked at the photo of Consort Mi's rounded belly, feeling a mix of emotions. Sophia was a girl with a pure heart, and she couldn't help but feel that Xiao Yefeng had changed her life. Because of his presence, her feelings for Xian transformed into sibling affection. It was also because of him that she began to understand what it meant to like someone. The events in the cave between Xiao Yefeng and Consort Mi made her feel jealousy.
When Xiao Yefeng brought her to Huaxia, she learned what modern life was like. Over the past six months, she realized that she had truly fallen for Xiao Yefeng. In her words, she wanted to sleep with him. However, with the appearance of Liu Yiyi, she understood that Xiao Yefeng's heart would never belong to her. Therefore, Sophia worked hard to learn Chinese, doing her utmost to fulfill any command given by Xiao Yefeng.
Now that Xiao Yefeng wanted to find Consort Mi, if that woman returned to his side, wouldn't it mean she had even less chance? So at this moment, Sophia was reluctant to help him search. Yet being a kind-hearted girl, she didn't want her beloved to discover that she was deliberately causing trouble. After watching Xiao Yefeng for a long time, she finally said, "I have a way to find Xian! This is a capability of our Elementalist!"
After learning this ability called Elemental Attraction from Sophia, Xiao Yefeng left with Liu Yiyi. As soon as they departed, Sophia rushed back to her room like the wind, even abandoning the spear she considered vital. Watching this scene, Mo Fei could only smile helplessly, perhaps feeling happy for his brother's overflowing romantic prospects.
On their way back, Liu Yiyi seemed lost in thought while Xiao Yefeng focused on trying out Elemental Attraction. The two remained silent until they finally reached Beijing North, where Liu Yiyi stopped him as he tried to return to his room to cultivate.
"Hmm?" Feeling his hand being held by Liu Yiyi, Xiao Yefeng turned around in confusion.
At that moment, there was a hint of worry in Liu Yiyi's eyes, her gaze as clear as autumn water and her expression like the bright moon. Seeing him turn around, she asked, "The child of Consort Mi is yours, isn't it?"
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Yefeng nodded and replied, "Although I can't be completely sure, I have about eighty percent confidence. I remember everything clearly about that time; this child is most likely mine!" He answered straightforwardly without hiding or deceiving.
Silence enveloped them—a deathly silence—as they exchanged glances without uttering a word. In Liu Yiyi's eyes were feelings of unwillingness mixed with excitement. After collecting herself, she said, "That's wonderful! Consort Mi is carrying your child; you can finally have your own child!" As she spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks like pearls falling from a broken string.
At that moment, all Xiao Yefeng could do was gently embrace her. How could he not understand what his beloved was feeling? He couldn't provide an heir for the one he loved most deeply while another woman unexpectedly bore a child for him. Which woman could wholeheartedly accept such a reality? Although she had known about it for some time, when faced with the situation directly, if Liu Yiyi truly felt indifferent and showed no reaction at all, then even he would think their relationship had reached its end.
After a long while, almost all of Liu Yiyi's tears soaked through the fabric of his shirt. At that moment, she said, "You must safely bring back Sister Consort Mi. For the dangers she's endured for you and for her love for you—and especially for your child!"
Liu Yiyi's magnanimity stemmed from her love and guilt towards Xiao Yefeng, who could only nod vigorously at that moment.
Meanwhile, deep within a lush Rainforest, a figure clad in camouflage jungle combat gear darted out from the shadows like a leopard. With a powerful leap onto a branch beneath, the person swiftly vanished back into the cover of the trees. Just then, a Piercing Arrow sliced through the gaps in the foliage, glinting with golden light as it struck the ground where the figure had just landed.
With a thunderous boom, the arrow triggered an explosion that shattered the earth, sending dirt and splintered wood flying in all directions. The figure, already on the run, continued to weave through the shadows without looking back. However, just as they were about to shake off their pursuer, the person in camouflage suddenly stumbled, losing their footing and landing in an exposed spot.
Fortunately, they rolled quickly to avoid a deadly arrow that came hurtling towards them. Yet now there was nowhere left to hide; they could only take refuge behind a towering pine tree. At that moment, a man dressed as a hunter, wielding a Beast Bone Bow and carrying a large quiver on his back, landed gracefully on a nearby tree. He drew his bowstring taut, aiming directly at the tree where the figure was hiding.
"Come out! I don't mind bringing back a corpse!" The man's harsh American English rang out as he kept his bow drawn, arrow still pointed at the shadows.
"Are you an agent of Perfect World?" A woman's voice emerged from behind the cover, devoid of fear and sounding remarkably calm.
"Perfect World? No, I'm just a hunter who enjoys chasing prey! And your bounty is the highest on the Hunting List!" The man had nearly pulled his Beast Bone Bow to its limit; the arrow shimmered with golden light, ready to unleash destruction at any moment.
Meanwhile, behind the tree, the woman gently caressed her swollen belly. The swirling blue Qi within her was soothing the fetus inside. Through the insect-repellent veil she wore, it became clear that this woman was Consort Mi, who had been separated from Xiao Yefeng for over seven months. Her complexion was pale and drawn with pain-induced spasms; yet the flowing Qi continued to comfort her disturbed child.
Since parting ways on the vast grasslands, Consort Mi had endured over a hundred hunts and narrow escapes. Finally, two months ago, she encountered this strange hunter—armed only with a Beast Bone Bow and homemade arrows—who had relentlessly pursued her for over two months. As her pregnancy progressed and her belly grew larger, her mobility became increasingly hindered. Eventually, he caught up with her after traversing several borders of Asian countries through the Rainforest.
Just moments ago, her unborn child had kicked sharply against her spleen, causing her to stumble into danger. Now, apart from soothing her baby, Consort Mi's mind raced to devise an escape plan. If she were killed, her beloved's only offspring would perish with her. Being captured was equally unacceptable; not only would it put her beloved in jeopardy but also doom this child of immense research value to a tragic fate.
It was crucial to remember that Xiao Yefeng and she were currently among the most exceptional Gene Warriors and possessed one of the highest levels of Gene Fusion. Just imagining what their combined child would be like sent shivers down her spine!
Death! Consort Mi couldn't bear for her beloved's child to die alongside her; capture was out of the question. As for retaliation, facing an archer meant she would never get close enough for an attack. A massive crisis loomed over Consort Mi at that moment.
As the saying goes, where there is life, there is hope! At this moment, the Wild Grass Team was tracking two individuals. With the approximate coordinates provided by Xiao Yefeng, the Wild Grass Team had reached the edge of the Rainforest. However, their exact location remained unknown. Consort Mi's only chance was to wait for the arrival of the Wild Grass Team, or perhaps for Xiao Yefeng to arrive, as he felt that Xian was near the borders of Huaxia and was already on his way.
At the same time, another team from Perfect World was rushing towards this location via a different route. Three aircraft were flying towards this border area from three directions. The closest was naturally the helicopter of the Wild Grass Team. Inside, several men and women in their forties were scanning the surroundings, while a radar device on board continuously searched for signs of life.
“Quick! We must find them!” shouted the pilot, a man with a scruffy beard and yellowish skin, indicating his Asian descent. As soon as he spoke, a woman on the left side, holding binoculars and searching for signs of life, replied, “These two are experts. If it weren't for the scattered signs of battle, it would be strange if we could catch up!”
“Enough with the chatter. We must complete the mission he assigned us. I know everyone has their families and doesn't want to go back into action, but you all understand how significant this mission is for our benefactor!” said a man sitting at the back, fixated on the radar.
Upon hearing this, the other five glanced at him before nodding and returning to their tasks. Just then, an explosion caused a crimson circle to appear on the radar. The moment he saw it, the man exclaimed, “Due east! They have engaged! Dandelion, I need you to support them at full speed!”
With that command, the helicopter swiftly turned around. The woman who had been slightly dissatisfied moments ago tossed aside her binoculars and retrieved a state-of-the-art optical ion sniper rifle from her back. With the sniper rifle in hand, she radiated an aura of lethal intent, transforming from a seemingly lazy housewife into a battle-hardened warrior.
Through the scope of her sniper rifle, she scanned every corner within her line of sight. Just then, she spotted a sharp arrow slicing through the air towards their helicopter, glinting with a hint of gold.
“Not good! That man is attacking us!” she whispered urgently.
