As the houses crumbled, screams filled the air. Judging by the sounds, one could imagine how many people must have been buried by the earthquake!

“We need to help them! Where is everyone?!” Feng Wu cried out.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

General Wu rubbed his forehead. “The wave of magical beasts is trying to break into the town and we’re in grave danger. All the soldiers are guarding the gate now. We don’t have any spare hands now to help the people.”

Ning Chenxi immediately instructed his guards to help the townsfolk dig the others out from under the ruins. However, those they saved were all covered in injuries and were barely breathing. It seemed that they were going to lose them after all...

The head of the town watched this in distress. “All the medicine refiners in town were assigned to the gate to treat the soldiers in need. The people here...”

Everyone despaired at the current situation.

They had ferocious magical beasts outside the gate.

And the aftershocks from the earthquake kept coming.

Numerous soldiers and civilians were injured and they had neither enough medicine refiners nor the adequate medicine. Was Wanping Town going to be destroyed today?

“Have you sent people out for help?”

While everyone else was on edge, Feng Wu remained level-headed and composed.

“We’ve sent several groups out already, but because of the magical beasts out there, they... were all killed...” General Wu clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot red. “The authorities still have no idea of the level of casualties we’ve suffered here. If we can deliver the message to Anping City, we’ll be able to get some reinforcements!”

“I’ll go!” Ning Chenxi rose to his feet.

“No!” General Wu rejected that right away!

“Why?”

“... Young Master Ning, it’s not for someone of your noble status to undertake. The chance of dying is too great for you to take that risk!”

“I’m the son of the governor; that’s exactly why I should go! Everyone here will be killed if I don’t! But if I go, there’s still a chance for us. Moreover, the mayor of Anping City knows me. I’m the most suitable candidate for the job!”

General Wu was rendered speechless.

Ning Chenxi turned to Feng Wu. “Thank you for saving my mother. I’ll thank you properly after I get back!”

After that, Ning Chenxi turned to leave.

“Wait.” Feng Wu stopped Ning Chenxi and tossed him a bottle of repellent when he turned around. She said calmly, “That’s some repellent. I can’t promise that it’ll keep you absolutely safe, but it’ll buy you some time.”

Repellent... that was a very precious potion! Especially when so many magical beasts were laying siege to the city, a potion like that could save lives! Ning Chenxi looked at Feng Wu with tears in his eyes. “I...”

Feng Wu nodded at him, then turned round and busied herself with helping the wounded!

When Ning Chenxi came out of his sentimental mood, the girl was nowhere to be seen.

Ning Chenxi frowned. He might not survive this trip, but he still hadn’t found out his beloved girl’s name... he didn’t want to die with such regrets!

He spotted Feng Yiran a few steps away and his eyes lit up. If he was guessing right, the guy was connected to the girl somehow. So —

“Her name is —” Ning Chenxi asked.

Feng Liu had been observing them on the side this whole time, and naturally, she knew who Ning Chenxi was asking about. She would be lying if she said that she wasn’t jealous!

Feng Wu had saved both Mrs Ning and her babies. And it was obvious that Ning Chenxi had a thing for her...

Hence, before Feng Yiran could reply, Feng Liu blurted out without a second thought, “Feng Liu!”
