If you count carefully, this was probably the fourth time Huo Xianfeng had his collar pulled open by the other party.
But what was even more strange was that, apart from the slight surprise in the initial second, he actually accepted it very calmly.
Because Rhodes was kicked more than ten meters away by Huo Xianfeng just now, the expressions of the believers who were originally surrounding Jiang Ci changed drastically in an instant. They stood there in shock and doubt, not daring to approach rashly.
At this moment, the silver-haired omega held Huo Xianfeng's clothes on his chest with one hand and held his shoulders tightly with the other hand, thus bearing the weight of his body. Because of the excessively close distance, the boy could clearly feel Jiang Ci's rapid and trembling breathing in his shoulder socket.
It was like a drowning person suddenly emerged from the water, frantically absorbing oxygen.
Jiang Ci felt his stomach churning, the unfamiliar alpha pheromone made him feel extremely repulsive and nauseous. He tried hard to smell the familiar pheromones on the boy, hoping to relieve the discomfort in his body.
But compared to other alphas who release pheromones all the time and are eager to announce their existence to the whole world, Huo Xianfeng is simply stingy to the extreme, just like a traveler who is about to die of thirst in the desert and can only sip the sweet water drop by drop.
This feeling made Jiang Ci want to bite him again and directly suck his blood. But at this moment, he suddenly felt his waist tighten, and the heavy pressure on his body suddenly loosened.
—Huo Xianfeng hugged the slightly trembling omega in his arms, helping him to bear some of his body weight.
"Are you okay?"
"… "
The familiar voice in her ear startled Jiang Ci and instantly woke her up from her dazed and trance-like state.
There was really no way around it. He now felt physically sick of the pheromones of any alpha except Huo Xianfeng. So the moment Rhodes approached him, he felt as if his entire stomach was twitching crazily.
Not spitting in the other person's face right away was probably the last dignity left to the young master of the Jiang family.
However, after coming to his senses, Jiang Ci quickly realized what he had just done. He froze for two seconds, then immediately let go and stepped back.
The expression on that pretty face quickly flashed through shock, anger, nervousness and awkwardness, and finally returned to its usual calm and serious expression.
But now was obviously not the time for small talk, because Rhodes had already crawled out from a pile of rubble, stood up surrounded by several believers, and stared at Huo Xianfeng in shock and anger.
He sensed clearly just now that the omega's blood was filled with the alpha's fierce and exclusive pheromones.
—Anyone with a little common sense knows what this means.
Jiang Jinsheng's son, the next generation heir of the Jiang family was actually marked!
The Jiang family was the church's key target of observation, so Jiang Ci was naturally also on the surveillance list. Although with Zhou Jiuya around, they couldn't blatantly monitor them at close range, but they still had the necessary information.
For example, Jiang Ci had just beaten a blind date into the hospital on the Capital Star not long ago, which means that he was not marked at that time.
—Who is this alpha who has marked Jiang Ci now? !
Rhodes actually had an impossible guess in his mind. The moment it popped into his mind, he could never get rid of it.
After all, although that face was only three or four points similar to Huo Chao, it was enough to make him fearful, not to mention the strength that the young man had just displayed.
At this moment, the body of a believer was lying on the ground, and another one had just been blasted out by Jiang Ci and had no news since. Now the remaining four people were standing behind the white-robed bishop.
For a while, the two sides fell into a delicate stalemate.
Jiang Ci himself didn't care about the torn wound on his left shoulder at all. He stared coldly at the white-robed bishop, his scarlet eyes filled with extreme disgust.
"Rhodes, when did the church extend its hand here?"
If it were ten minutes ago, the white-robed bishop would still be in the mood to chat with this beautiful and delicious omega, but now his attention is all on Huo Xianfeng next to him.
But the latter didn't care about Rhodes. He glanced at Jiang Ci's bloody shoulder, frowned subconsciously, and keenly smelled the sweet smell of blood in the air, as well as the familiar, rich fragrance similar to roses.
The smell of the two mixed together made the boy feel slightly anxious.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly.
Maybe it was quicksand, or maybe it was something else.
But at this moment, no one had time to investigate, because Rhodes had already swung the sword in his hand and instantly chopped towards Huo Xianfeng's neck.
On the other side, the remaining four believers wanted to surround Jiang Ci again.
After all, Zhou Jiuya was still on Tiandong Star, and they still had a fragile cooperative relationship, so Rhodes did not intend to touch this beautiful and sweet omega. But this did not mean that he would allow the other party to interfere with his mission.
The next second, Rhodes' cold murderous intent was like a hurricane, accompanied by a cold sword blade, rushing straight in front of the young man.
We’ll know if this guy is related to that person if we try.
Huo Xianfeng stuck his index finger into the ring at the end of the dagger handle, turned it around casually, and then thrust forward without warning.
During the second fight, the boy's movements and speed were completely different from before. His eyes were sharp and cold, and he had no intention of dodging. He just moved vigorously and attacked head-on. Every move he made was a killing move.
The blades in the hands of the two men collided in the air, and sparks flew out immediately! They intertwined and entangled, so bright that people could hardly open their eyes.
The holy marks on Rhodes' body, which were originally smooth and attached to his skin like graffiti, now bulged out like veins, looking particularly hideous and terrifying. Huo Xianfeng soon discovered that the more hideous and protruding these holy marks became, the faster he moved and the more powerful his attacks became.
But even so, Rhodes still found it unbelievable that he was gradually losing the upper hand. He stared at Huo Xianfeng intently.
"Who...are you?"
In fact, everyone present wanted to know this question, including Jiang Ci and Huo Xianfeng himself. After all, the strength that the latter had just displayed was not like that of an ordinary civilian boy on the surface of Tiandong Star.
Huo Xianfeng narrowed his eyes and lied to him half-truthfully.
"Didn't you recognize me just now?"
"… "
Rhodes' pupils suddenly dilated to the extreme.
"you… "
At this moment, the white-robed bishop revealed a fatal flaw!
boom!
After a fierce and brief collision, the young man suddenly pulled sideways, and the sharp blades of both sides suddenly pulled out a line of sparks. This action allowed Huo Xianfeng to unload most of the opponent's force, and then he suddenly turned over, breaking through the opponent's defense and piercing Rhodes' left arm.
The alarm in the white-robed bishop's mind screamed wildly. He did not care about his pierced left arm and pulled it out directly. He stepped back repeatedly and swung the sword in his hand violently, directly cutting off the supporting column next to him, in order to block the boy's attack rhythm.
There was a loud "boom" like thunder, and the column broke into pieces and collapsed suddenly.
But the next second, Huo Xianfeng rushed out from the rubble that was falling like a rainstorm, with a fierce and violent aura, and almost in the blink of an eye he rushed in front of Rhodes -
boom!!!
The long sword in the white-robed bishop's hand was thrown away fiercely and pierced directly into the wall more than ten meters away, piercing deeply halfway.
Chi-
The next second, Huo Xianfeng's dagger pierced through the opponent's palm that had just held the sword, and then nailed it to the wall behind him.
Rhodes' face suddenly turned pale, and his skin trembled slightly because of the intense pain.
"Your name is... Rhodes, right?"
The boy held the handle of the dagger and twisted it slowly. In the shadow, his profile was as hard as jade, his eyes were calm and cold, and the light reflected by the dagger on his face revealed a sharp chill.
"Tell me, who did you think of when you saw me just now?"
"… "
Rhodes panted roughly, like a seriously injured beast, but when he stared at Huo Xianfeng for a few seconds, the painful expression on his face suddenly twisted and he laughed out loud.
“So you are not… not…” Otherwise, the other party would not ask him such a question.
Huo Xianfeng frowned and wanted to ask something. At this moment, a clear sound of bone cracking suddenly came from behind.
Click!
The boy turned around, and then the following scream of pain drowned out the former.
"Then tell me—"
The silver-haired major general's face was stained with blood, and his expression was cold. He was looking down at the wailing believers on the ground.
"What on earth are you doing here?"
"Looking for... looking for the forbidden..."
One of them finally couldn't stand it anymore, but just as he said a word, some golden lines suddenly appeared on his neck, and it suddenly strangled the believer's neck like a parasitic vine, and then tightened tightly -
Click!
After a slight sound of breaking, there was no more life.
Jiang Ci was confused and said, "Damn, what the hell is this?!"
But the next second, the ground shook suddenly. Jiang Ci immediately turned around and exchanged glances with Huo Xianfeng. They both saw the same message in each other's eyes.
—This is definitely not the noise that quicksand would make.
The next second, the entire smelter shook violently, and the ground beneath Jiang Ci's feet suddenly cracked and collapsed. He was caught off guard and could only stagger to steady himself and then quickly avoid it.
Looking up, Jiang Ci saw countless dense cracks on the ceiling. His face changed drastically.
However, the young man ignored Jiang Ci's voice at this moment. He seemed to have heard something suddenly. He stood up and turned around, his eyes quickly scanning the entire factory area's wildly shaking and cracking ground, as if he was looking for something.
At this moment, Rhodes seized the opportunity, pulled out the dagger from his palm, and fled quickly.
"stop!"
Jiang Ci's face darkened and she was about to chase after him, but the next second Huo Xianfeng grabbed her wrist.
"No need to chase!"
"… "
Jiang Ci was stunned, and before she could react, Huo Xianfeng pulled her in the opposite direction.
"Generally, factories built underground like this will have emergency elevators!!!"
—Then how do you know it’s not on the side where Rhodes ran
Such a thought flashed through the Major General's mind, but in the end he asked nothing and just ran rapidly after Huo Xianfeng.
At this moment, the collapsed rubble and dust above the head poured down like a rainstorm, and a stone half the size of a person even brushed against Jiang Ci's hair and fell down.
This was probably the fastest Jiang Ci had ever run. The boy held his wrist tightly, so he had no time to look back. He did not notice that the ground behind him was cracked like thousands of branches spreading in all directions.
It seemed as if something was about to break out of the ground, causing huge bulges to form on the flat ground.
But fortunately, half a minute later, they finally arrived at the right place - an emergency elevator.
Ding-
The elevator door opened, Huo Xianfeng pushed Jiang Ci in first, and then walked in.
Coincidentally, they were running in a direction 180 degrees from Rhodes. If they looked back carefully at this time, they might be able to see a figure running desperately in the chaotic collapse scene.
But the boy happened to be standing in the middle of the elevator door, blocking the only straight line of sight.
At this time, Rhodes also ran to the door in the other direction. He blasted the door open with a bang, his face full of joy at being out of danger.
But behind the door was not a safe exit, but a pair of cold scarlet compound eyes.
The next second—
The huge monster opened its bloody and sharp mouth.
Buzz—
The elevator door closed.
Jiang Ci was about to take a breath when she suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness.
"Wait! Aren't we going up?"
He frowned and said that this feeling of weightlessness was clearly going downwards.
"It is down."
Huo Xianfeng brushed off the dust on his sleeves and said in a natural tone,
"Now that you're here, don't you want to go see what Rhodes is looking for?"
"… "
Jiang Ci was slightly stunned, but did not refuse.
At this moment, the terrible shock and shaking just now suddenly stopped, and the elevator went down at a very stable and slow speed, as if the collapse crisis just now was an illusion.
The elevator fell into silence. Huo Xianfeng touched his neck and slightly lifted the collar that had been pulled to his chest. This action suddenly reminded Jiang Ci of what had just happened. He pursed his lips and turned his head away.
“… That guy stinks.”
The Major General pretended to be nonchalant and explained,
"Don't get me wrong, I was just lending it to you to take a break."
"… "
Slowly
Huo Xianfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that Jiang Ci was talking about the time when she suddenly buried her head in the crook of his neck.
The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this explanation was funny and novel. However, he didn't expect that the expression on his face would be seen as ridicule or some kind of rejection in Jiang Ci's eyes.
He frowned.
"Hey, we agreed before and gave the money."
The implication is that it was just a simple transaction and did not represent anything else.
money
Huo Xianfeng: “… ?”
The young man was slightly startled, and only later did he understand the meaning behind the other person's words.
I've already paid, so what's wrong with me sucking you?!
Huo Xianfeng immediately showed a surprised and amused expression on his face. In fact, the first time he asked for a price of more than 6 million, he just wanted to see the financial situation of this omega and uncover his identity.
Who would have thought that Jiang Ci would transfer the money without saying anything.
In addition, Huo Xianfeng had originally planned to come along this time, and the hard work fee for doing a good deed was just a joke. How could he have known that the other party would give him 10 million right away
But in the end, Huo Xianfeng, who woke up from the eggshell penniless, immediately agreed to this sure-win deal without hesitation and very happily.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but at this time, the omega, feeling depressed and angry, had already angrily moved away from him two meters diagonally on the elevator, very quickly.
Huo Xianfeng: “…”
So neither of them spoke, and they remained silent with the longest diagonal distance of two meters between them.
This elevator seemed to lead to a place very deep underground. It had been descending for such a long time and still had no intention of stopping. As a result, the narrow space suddenly became extremely quiet.
Jiang Ci thought about it and suddenly turned around, as if she wanted to say something to Huo Xianfeng. However, the moment she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the boy's messy collar.
The marks there clearly showed that it had been ripped open by someone. Two buttons had broken off, exposing a large area of chest skin, and the contours of the chest muscles could be clearly seen...
etc.
Jiang Ci was slightly startled. He remembered that he should have bitten a wound on Huo Xianfeng's collarbone last night...
It's gone!
Before Jiang Ci could think clearly, the next second, Huo Xianfeng silently pulled up his collar.
The beautiful omega was stunned and looked upwards, just in time to meet the other person's strange gaze.
Huo Xianfeng: “… ?”
Jiang Ci: “…!”
The atmosphere at this moment was a little subtle, as if the other party's action just now was specifically designed to prevent him from peeping.
Peeping
Jiang Ci's expression was blank for a moment, and he immediately opened his mouth to explain something, but the subtle atmosphere just now made it seem as if no matter what he said, it would only make things more obvious.
Damn it!
The major general was filled with anger and turned his head away angrily.
