Jiang Junyi stood up and raised his hand towards the Three Little Ones.
Shadows surged into their bodies, temporarily stabilizing their injuries and preventing their life force from draining away.
After doing all this, he looked coldly at the Yaowang Valley researcher.
The old man looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar mask, his cheeks trembling wildly: "The new White Court Master?"
He forced a smile and said, "This is my Yaowang Valley..."
"So? You want to say you have strength in numbers?"
Jiang Junyi pointed a finger at the sky.
"Look around!"
The old man suddenly looked up—white-faced, gold-patterned figures stood everywhere.
The golden light shimmering in the sunlight seemed like a judgment from the heavens.
This scene, how similar it was.
"White Court—!"
The old man's face instantly became extremely distorted, filled with endless despair.
"Even if I become a ghost..."
"Bang!"
Jiang Junyi suddenly stretched out his hand and made a grasping motion forward.
A giant black hand made of shadows emerged from the ground, firmly gripping the old man's mountain-like body.
"You won't become a ghost."
He tightened his grip.
"Bang."
A muffled thud.
When he released his hand, a pile of black powder rustled down.
Jiang Junyi waved his hand: "Clear them out."
"Kill all those who know, spare those who don't."
"Yes!"
The White Court members responded in unison, then dispersed to various locations.
Jiang Junyi slowly walked to Number 1, placed his hand on his shoulder: "You've worked hard."
"Heh..."
Number 1's lips curved into an arc.
So it was Young Master.
Jiang Junyi used shadows to carry Number 1 on his back, and held Number 2 and Number 3 with his hands, walking out of the valley.
"Don't fall asleep, understand?"
"Feel the warmth from Young Master."
Even though the power of the shadows had stopped their injuries, if they fell unconscious with such severe wounds, they could very likely never wake up.
"You... Young Master... your back is so wide..." Number 1 said intermittently.
"Young... Young Master's... grip... is so strong..." Number 2 forced a compliment.
"Young Master... your... waist... is so good..." Number 3's words were utterly crude.
"Ha." Jiang Junyi grinned upon hearing this, "We're going home."
...
White Court, Chang Sheng Tower, the specialized treatment area.
The Three Little Ones were bandaged where needed, their legs were hung up, and they were mummified where necessary.
Jiang Junyi sat nearby, peeling an apple: "One hundred thousand a month, why are you risking your lives?"
The three looked at each other with difficulty.
"Young Master, honestly, one hundred thousand a month is worth risking your life for," Number 3 replied.
"Tsk, is one hundred thousand a month the point?"
Jiang Junyi looked up and slapped Number 3's suspended leg.
"Ow—!" Number 3 sounded as if Tom from Tom and Jerry had possessed him.
"Next time, if you can't win, retreat. There's always a tomorrow." Jiang Junyi placed the peeled apple on the table.
"Huh? Young Master, didn't you get the earth dragon blood amber?" Number 1 asked curiously.
"What earth dragon blood amber? Does Yaowang Valley really have that thing?"
Jiang Junyi raised an eyebrow, asking strangely.
"Didn't Number 2 send a coded message from the signal-blocked area, I don't know how he did it."
"Blah blah blah a whole bunch, I saw the words 'life or death uncertain' and immediately called for backup."
The Three Little Ones looked at each other, their eyes gradually widening:
"Holy crap! Baozi Ge!"
After some understanding, Jiang Junyi rubbed his forehead: "Why couldn't you have told me about this sooner!"
Number 1 closed his eyes: "It's over, Baozi Ge is probably gone."
Number 2 shook his head: "Completely cold."
Number 3 sighed: "He's already stinky."
"Whoosh!"
The innermost curtain suddenly pulled open, and an exasperated voice came through.
"You guys are the ones who are gone, cold, and stinky!"
The Three Little Ones, including Jiang Junyi, suddenly looked inside, Number 1 even propped himself up a bit.
"Holy crap! Baozi Ge!"
Baozi Ge was seen eating classic steamed buns, his dead fish eyes looking at the Three Little Ones.
Number 3 asked with a face full of confusion: "You, how are you faster than us?"
"Hmph!" Baozi Ge snorted, "Bro will give you three some insights!"
[Flashback]
Sand and gravel buried Baozi Ge, endless darkness surrounded him.
Am I going to die?
Baozi Ge thought so.
One minute, two minutes...
Huh? Why am I not dead yet? I can still breathe?
Baozi Ge's lips moved slightly, touching something cold.
A steel pipe?!
But he knew he couldn't open his eyes right now, it was all dirt.
Just then, he clenched his hand, a metal shovel in his palm.
When he jumped into the underground tunnel, he just happened to see the metal shovel he had previously dropped, and by some strange impulse, he grabbed it.
He hadn't expected it to come in handy at this moment.
He continuously used the metal shovel to clear away the earth and stones, making a little space to move his hand a bit.
Finally, he placed the metal shovel by his side.
Even stranger was that the sand and soil where he was located was softer, and the quantity didn't feel as much.
So Baozi Ge kept digging and digging.
Relying on his Little Grandmaster physique, he bore the perfect amount of weight and broke through the earth!
Only after getting out did he realize that his position was originally a large empty space, and the collapsed earth and stones from the tunnel had all piled up at the tunnel entrance.
There wasn't much sand and soil pouring into his spot.
It seemed very illogical, and to this, Baozi Ge could only say that for lucky people, even heaven doesn't want you to die.
After exiting the tunnel, Baozi Ge identified a direction and ran off at full speed.
After handing over the earth dragon blood amber at White Court, he immediately applied to be admitted to Chang Sheng Tower, giving the reason that he feared sequelae.
In reality, it was because hospitalization would mean the boss would give him an extra basket of steamed buns.
[End Flashback]
"That's how it happened," Baozi Ge said, chewing on a steamed bun.
"Clap clap clap!"
Jiang Junyi clapped his hands with an extremely complex expression, while the Three Little Ones on the hospital beds gaped.
They really couldn't mock him this time; his life was too tough.
"So, the earth dragon blood amber is already in hand?" Jiang Junyi asked incredulously.
"Yeah, it's with Aunt Zhao," Baozi Ge nodded.
Jiang Junyi immediately pulled out his phone: "Hello, hello? Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, Baozi Ge gets to eat steamed buns freely, heartily, and joyfully for a week, please inform him."
[Okay, Young Master!]
Upon hearing this, Baozi Ge's eyes instantly brightened, and he was overjoyed: "Is that really true, Young Master?!"
Jiang Junyi nodded: "You deserve it."
Baozi Ge suddenly stood on the hospital bed, waving his hands towards the sky, displaying the same catharsis as Xia Luo in "Goodbye Mr. Loser": "Awesome!"
He jumped off the hospital bed: "I'll be going ahead, Young Master."
Just then, a nurse walked in and saw the excited Baozi Ge: "Hey? Aren't you worried about sequelae anymore?"
"My sequelae treatment isn't here."
Baozi Ge quickly replied, rushing towards the White Court snack street.
Jiang Junyi smiled helplessly, stood up: "You all rest well, I'm going to see the earth dragon blood amber."
With that, he walked out of the ward.
For a moment, the ward was unusually quiet.
Suddenly.
"Those three apples were all peeled by Young Master for me," Number 1 said calmly.
"There's something wrong with your eyes, those were peeled by Young Master for me," Number 2 said calmly.
"There's something wrong with both your brains, those were peeled by Young Master for me," Number 3 said calmly.
A moment of silence.
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
The three of them, dragging their injured bodies, wriggled towards the table where Jiang Junyi had placed the apples earlier.
Their momentum seemed even fiercer than when they were previously in Yaowang Valley.
"Snap."
The door opened, and the nurse looked at the Three Little Ones on the floor with a calm expression, her lips twitching slightly: "Tsk."
"No! I don't want an injection!"
"I'm afraid of pain! No!"
"Mommy!"
Meanwhile.
Jiang Junyi held the earth dragon blood amber up to the sunlight and examined it carefully:
"So the so-called earth dragon is an ancient earthworm..."
He gripped the earth dragon blood amber, the second one!
E Country, somewhere on a snow-capped mountain peak.
Leo was lost, not knowing which snow mountain she had climbed.
But at this moment, she was squatting in the snow, in front of her was a cluster of slightly crystalline, yet unbloomed, orchids.
Leo frowned and muttered: "This thing... when will it bloom?"
