Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

Chapter 184 Depletion


"What I've mentioned above is the origin of Ye Xiaofan and the Yanhuang Soul. But I didn't expect that in just a few months, this kid's strength has increased so quickly. Who knows what he'll become in a while."

After hearing Shen Junjie's remarks about Xiaofan, Lei Xiaolei immediately admired Ye Xiaofan greatly.

The admiration was naturally for his strength. If what Shen Junjie said was true, then a few months ago, Xiaofan's strength was almost no different from an ordinary person. He wasn't even a match for some ordinary assassins. But now, he has overcome many obstacles and become the national freestyle fighting tournament champion in one fell swoop.

"I need to go back first, no idea how things are over there."

"Hey, Xiaolei." Shen Junjie suddenly called out to Xiaolei.

"Hmm?"

"Your records have been updated, the 'never hire' status has been removed. If you consider returning, you still have a chance to come back."

"Hmm? Initially, when I left Yanhuang Soul, I was quite disappointed and wanted to return. But now, I suddenly feel like following Ye Xiaofan for a while. With his character, he wouldn't do anything detrimental to the country, so following him puts my mind at ease."

"Xiaolei..."

"I'm leaving."

Yanhuang Soul was once the place he respected the most, and even now, despite being expelled and never to be rehired, Lei Xiaolei's respect has never changed.

But suddenly, it seemed more interesting to follow Xiaofan. No more day-in and day-out training, no more setting out upon receiving a mission. He had his own life space, able to freely drink with friends.

At this moment, in Ye Dahe's villa.

Xiaofan's clothes were drenched in sweat, and the sweat beads on his forehead were dripping down one after another.

"Pfft."

With the last bodyguard spitting out a mouthful of black blood, Xiaofan immediately withdrew his hand and pulled out the needle from the bodyguard. He gasped loudly for breath.

"Xiaofan, are you okay?" Ye Dahe was also concerned about the situation here and asked worriedly, seeing Xiaofan's pale face.

"Uncle, you should go quickly, don't come out. I'm not sure if there are snipers lurking around."

"Are you really okay?"

"I'm fine. A friend will come to pick me up soon. Have the bodyguards let him in later." Xiaofan's breathing was very erratic, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face.

Rescuing others should not involve the slightest hesitation. Just like back then, when Ren Zhongtian was surrounded by the Five Ghosts, he went to save a special forces soldier without regard for his own safety, and that decision must have been instantaneous. There was no way to make the best judgment. Rescuing must always be the priority.

Xiaofan did it, even though he overestimated himself a bit. In fact, after detoxifying the second bodyguard, Xiaofan already felt powerless, but he gritted his teeth and held on to the end.

This poisoning plan came without any warning. Or maybe it was just the first step in the Red Butterfly's assassination plan.

These guys are really skilled, knowing for sure that the Yanhuang Soul people would assign personnel nearby, so they adopted the simplest and most effective method to take action. However, Ye Dahe's keen senses wouldn't easily be poisoned.

"Ye Xiaofan." At this moment, Lei Xiaolei also arrived at Xiaofan's side.

"Come over here. Give me a hand." Xiaofan's body swayed slightly, and the exhaustion almost made him unable to stand.

"Heavens, you really used your Inner Strength to save them?" Lei Xiaolei couldn't believe Xiaofan would do this and quickly stepped forward to support him.

But thinking back, this behavior seemed to really align with his character.

"Xiaofan..."

"Uncle, I'm going home to lie down first. I'll come see you in a couple of days. Xiaolei, let's go."

The first wave of the Red Butterfly's assassination failed, so they would definitely send someone for another assassination attempt soon.

The difficulty now is that the opponent is in the shadows, and Xiaofan cannot detect when they would act or what method they would use.

No matter what, Xiaofan's prayer now is that they won't make a move too soon, as his Inner Strength hasn't recovered yet. If they do come so soon, there would be nothing he could do.

"Xiaolei, how's it going? Did they catch the delivery guy?"

"He's dead. Silenced. Yanhuang Soul people have started dealing with it." Xiaolei responded slowly while driving.

"Tonight, we might have to guard again."

"Yeah, no worries. Can you still walk?"

As they arrived at the apartment building where Xiaofan stayed, Xiaolei asked.

"No problem, just a bit dizzy. There's an elevator here, so there's no need to climb stairs." Xiaofan said, waved at Xiaolei, and walked into the apartment building.

The feeling of weakness was really uncomfortable for Xiaofan. When he opened the door to his house, he didn't even change his shoes and immediately fell onto the sofa.

It was a blackout, not just falling asleep from exhaustion. His will had been forcing him to hold on until he got home. The excessive consumption of Inner Strength was an unprecedented burden on him.

In fact, Xiaofan was overconfident. Using Inner Strength to detoxify, you can't easily stop until success. And detoxifying three people in a row with deadly poison is absolutely impossible without deep Inner Strength. If not for the supporting thirty years of Power left in Xiaofan's body by Ren Zhongtian, Xiaofan would have exhausted his Inner Strength while saving the third person and destroyed himself.

"Ye Xiaofan..."

Like last night, Ren Ling came out of the room looking very cute and sexy. She called out twice, but didn't hear any response. She turned on the light, and suddenly saw Xiaofan lying on the sofa.

Asleep? It didn't seem like it. The seductive fragrance she lit was generally invigorating and stimulating, making one more energetic, even if extremely tired, it wouldn't lead to falling asleep as soon as entering the house.

"Ye Xiaofan?" Ren Ling called out and pushed his body, but there was still no response. Immediately, Ren Ling sat down, reached out, and grasped Xiaofan's pulse.

The diagnosis outcome startled her; she quickly took out her phone and dialed her grandmother's number.

"Grandma, Ye Xiaofan's pulse is very weak, Inner Strength almost dried up, what should I do?"

"What? What's this boy doing? Ren Ling, do you have any Heart-Protecting Pill left? Feed him one. After he swallows it, guide his Inner Strength to circulate through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians ten times, and then slowly pass some of your Inner Strength into his Dantian. He has your grandfather's Inner Strength, so he surely won't reject yours."

"Oh, got it."

After a day's effort of waiting for Ye Xiaofan to return, intending to attract him, she still couldn't succeed.

Ren Ling, without much ease, gently supported Xiaofan's body, stuffed a pill into his mouth, then tapped a certain acupoint, making it swallow into Xiaofan's stomach. Afterward, she initiated the Ren Family's Celestial Burning Technique, transmitted her Inner Strength into Xiaofan's body, and slowly guided the nearly extinguished Inner Strength remaining within him.
