Capital City...
"A fire suddenly broke out in an apartnt within the Fourth Ring Road. The initial cause of the fire is presud to be a gas leak explosion from within the ho. The fire has now been contained, and no residents were injured. The owner of the apartnt has not yet been contacted. Our station will continue to follow up on the situation."
Fifty ters outside the fire scene, Li San looked at the smoke-filled building, shook his head, and made a call: "Kuo, I ca too late, that guy ran away."
"Ah, co back for now."
The pinhole cara on the mutant was discovered on the Yanhuang Soul's side. It was indeed due to Li Kuo's oversight.
Since a cara was installed, the other party would definitely use wireless. Tracking the wireless code didn't take much ti to locate the opponent.
But unexpectedly, the other party foresaw the exposed location and used a fire to eliminate all evidence.
After this incident, the Capital City gradually returned to calm.
However, Li Kuo and others felt uneasy, fearing that soon, the Capital City would face turmoil again. And that guy's absence might be one of the most unsettling factors for everyone.

"The cool breeze is lively, and the autumn moon is vast. My longing is like the passing of years. Although I am not handso or talented, I have a broad mind and strong arms... Ah."
On the small island, Xiaofan sat on the highest rock, gazing far out at the vast ocean.
Using the favorite phrase that Wei Xiaobao, portrayed by Zhang Weijian in "The Deer and the Cauldron," loved to express his mood at this mont. The final long sigh was filled with helplessness.
"Captain... it's noon, and the sun is scorching. Co over to the shade for a break."
"What if a ship passes by while I'm resting?"
"Look, you're almost turning into a black person already."
Leng Yue joked as she approached and handed Xiaofan a cup folded from leaves, filled with clean freshwater.
In the blink of an eye, it's been over nine months. Remarkably, no ship has been spotted in all that ti.
Eyes strained from longing... The first few months were still okay, but the longer they waited, the more anxious they beca... With nothing to do, Xiaofan often sat here to watch, as this spot allowed a full view in all directions.
"No worries, darker skin looks healthier, and it's not that dark..." Xiaofan grinned, examining his bronzed arms.
Indeed, compared to his previously fair, scholarly appearance, Xiaofan now looked more like soone with Louis Koo's skin tone.
If Xiaofan used to appear genteel and refined, now he portrayed a sense of determination and steadiness.
In nine months, Xiaofan's hair had grown to shoulder length. The front was even ssier.
His clothes were long torn and tattered, with any usable fabric given to Leng Yue to cover her skin.
In contrast to Xiaofan, Leng Yue paid ticulous attention to her skin care. Despite living at sea for over nine months, her skin remained pale and elastic.
This was thanks to Xiaofan's ancestral dicine, as the island conveniently had a type of grass that could be crushed and applied to the skin to reduce direct UV exposure, achieving effects similar to a facial mask.
Why didn't Xiaofan use this grass for sun protection? Because the resources on the island were scarce.
For instance, the dry grass and firewood used for making fires were long gone. The seafood they usually caught was kept in a pit on the island until a sufficient amount was gathered, then stead, with the leftovers sun-dried into jerky.
There was no pressure for survival, but the longing for ho grew stronger each day...
"If you keep sunbathing like this, you'll turn into a charcoal piece." Leng Yue playfully rolled her eyes.
"Are you disliking ?" Xiaofan teased with a laugh.
"Not at all."
"Then that's settled..."
"But I'm afraid you'll dislike . You know, those girls back ho, each with fair skin and rosy lips. If I get tanned, when we finally make it back, won't you dislike to death?"
For Leng Yue, returning to a world full of deceit and intrigue was less desirable than spending a lifeti on this island, living in a world just for two.
But Leng Yue knew he didn't belong here, nor did he belong to her. His existence carried an extraordinary mission...
"Fool, even if you turn as black as kerosene, I won't dislike you."
"Nonsense, you're the one who's kerosene, punishing you with no touching for a week." Leng Yue puckered her lips, playfully and cutely threatening.
"Hey, a week? You're kidding, right? Hey, hey... Quickly tell , you're joking, right."
"You're so dirty, how did I not notice before..."
"Hey, Leng Yue, look, there's a ship..."
Just as Leng Yue was about to chide Xiaofan for his 'harassnt' during this ti, Xiaofan suddenly shouted excitedly.
Looking up, she saw Xiaofan gazing ahead with a joyful expression, and Leng Yue quickly ran to the rock where Xiaofan was sitting...
"Where?"
"Up ahead, look..."
"I can't see it..."
Leng Yue looked in the direction Xiaofan pointed, but couldn't see any trace of a ship.
"Look carefully... over here."
"Where? Ah..."
Just as Leng Yue was concentrating, her body suddenly lifted, and she was directly embraced by Xiaofan.
"What are you doing..." Her brows furrowed slightly, Leng Yue struggled a bit but found she couldn't break free.
"What did you just say? No touching for a week?"
"You big tease, you tricked about the ship, so you..."
"So what if I tricked you? Getting bolder, huh, daring to threaten . I'll give you a chance, how long can't I touch you..."
"Hmph, two weeks. Haha, stop it, it tickles, hahaha... A month, a month... Ye Xiaofan, stop, ahahaha."
Their playful banter beca the only joy in their daily lives. Leng Yue's laughter in these months probably exceeded that of her entire previous twenty-plus years.
"Little girl, this island is only so big, do you think you can really run away? A week? I'll capture you right here and now."
"Ah, no." She said 'no', but Leng Yue unknowingly wrapped her hands around Xiaofan's neck.
"I'm the Island Master; everything here is under my command."
"I'm still the second-in-command..."
"At most, you're just a kitchen maid." Xiaofan said, holding that smooth skin tightly, kissing Leng Yue deeply on the lips.
After the passionate kiss, his kisses poured down like raindrops to her chest.
"Xia... Xiaofan... there's a... a ship."
"Don't try to trick , I just played that card." Xiaofan continued to bury his head in Leng Yue's chest.
"I'm not lying, it's true. Look quickly." Leng Yue's tone didn't sound like she was joking, her gaze straight past Xiaofan to the front...
