Chapter 55: Chapter 48: Battle of Betrothal: I Lost to You (Part 2)

Li Yufei, who had been sent flying, saw this and gritted her teeth.

"Huo Zhanting, Su Xingye, do you think the Li Family’s home is a place you can just waltz in and out of as you please?"

"You dare trespass? Then you’ll leave your lives behind."

With that, she slammed her hand down on the red alert button she was holding.

The next second, a piercing alarm suddenly blared over the entire castle.

One after another, rounds were chambered.

The Li Family’s own private soldiers, fully armed, were rushing toward them.

The boundless azure sky filled with a dense swarm of armed drones, their weapon ports locked firmly onto Huo Zhanting and Su Xingye’s position.

They were surrounded.

This was the Li Family’s main base.

They lacked for nothing, but they had an overabundance of all sorts of advanced, highly destructive new weapons.

No matter how gifted Huo Zhanting and Su Xingye were, no matter how strong their bodies, it was virtually impossible to escape unscathed from thousands of gun barrels amidst a hail of gunfire.

Li Yufei stared intently at the two male beasts before her and issued her command:

"Leave Yu Lan behind, and I’ll pretend this never happened. I’ll let you go."

"Dream on."

Huo Zhanting’s icy, untamable, and mocking voice rang out.

"It is our honor to die in battle for our Female Master."

With that, the Golden Lion leaped forward with the do-or-die, reckless force of a thunderbolt, charging straight for Li Yufei.

Meanwhile, the Silver Giant Wolf suddenly extended its tail, coiling it around the delicate and beautiful female before tossing her onto its back and bolting for the exit.

"Lanlan, hold on tight."

Su Xingye’s gentle, cautionary voice sounded.

It all happened too fast for Yu Lan to react.

By the time she came to her senses, she was already on the Silver Giant Wolf’s back.

He was carrying her as he ran forward at high speed.

Countless rounds whizzed past them, but the Silver Giant Wolf dodged them all with keen agility.

For any he couldn’t dodge, Su Xingye would carefully shield Yu Lan, using his own body to block the hits.

Before long, the Silver Wolf, whose fur was once sleek and soft, was now covered in wounds, large and small. Blood dripped from the gashes, falling to the ground.

Leaving a trail of blood.

Yu Lan’s eyes turned red as she gripped the Silver Wolf’s back tightly with both hands.

She wanted to cry but forced it back, biting her lip hard.

She twisted her head to look back at Huo Zhanting.

The majestic Golden Lion was trying to take Li Yufei hostage, drawing most of the firepower.

Just as Yu Lan turned to look, an Energy Cannon blast hit the Golden Lion. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The usually majestic Golden Lion’s massive body swayed, and a trickle of blood slid from the corner of its mouth.

Still, he forced himself to stand steady and continued charging toward Li Yufei.

Soon, the battle-scarred Golden Lion reached Li Yufei.

He extended his sharp claws and pinned Li Yufei firmly beneath him.

With a hostage in hand, the barrage of fire stopped instantly, just as expected.

At this point, the Golden Lion was completely covered in a layer of blood.

He could truly be called a lion of blood.

The next second, Huo Zhanting’s untamable, cold, and menacing voice rang out.

"Cease your attack. Let them go."

"Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Was the Li Family’s young miss more important, or was Yu Lan? These private soldiers of the Li Family knew the answer.

Pinned beneath the Golden Lion, Li Yufei was filled with indignation.

But at this moment, the Golden Lion’s claws—sharp enough to tear through a Starship—were resting against her neck. A pair of golden eyes stared down at her, cold and deadly.

If she couldn’t give a satisfactory answer to this Golden Lion who would risk everything for his beloved female, then in an instant, Li Yufei would die on the spot.

Li Yufei gritted her teeth fiercely.

"Fine, fine, fine! Li Family Army, let them leave."

The Li Family’s private soldiers, who had been blocking the Silver Giant Wolf’s path, parted to form a path, allowing Su Xingye to quickly depart with Yu Lan on his back.

The tension in Yu Lan’s heart eased slightly.

She kept her head turned, staring intently in the direction of the Golden Lion, Huo Zhanting.

At this moment, ’Huo Zhanting should be figuring out how to leave now, right?’

Yu Lan bit her lip tightly, unconsciously applying more pressure. An imprint was left on her soft, sweet lips—if the male beasts saw it, their hearts would surely ache for her in an instant.

But Yu Lan’s hopes were destined to be dashed.

Witnessing the shrinking figures of the Silver Wolf carrying Yu Lan away, Li Yufei was filled with extreme resentment.

Seeing the Golden Lion elegantly retract his claws and stand his ground, she couldn’t resist lashing out with a furious taunt.
