Where are my pants?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng stared into the mirror, reflecting a figure as elegant as a jade tree—his face delicate, unmistakably the handsomest young man in the neighborhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another day I’m stunned by my own beauty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ruffled his already messy hair, turning it into a full-blown bird’s nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I’m up anyway, might as well take a shower~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bathroom echoed with the rush of water; he wasn’t worried about having nothing to wear afterward—after all, the miraculous space backpack exists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He washed his hair first, then his face, then used body wash; after rinsing clean, he dressed and paused to admire himself in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed downstairs to wake Zhe, then ran out to pick up three bowls of ramen, and finally returned to wake up the sleepy Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast, Ling went to the bathroom to freshen up; Zhe contacted Victoria Household, then explained the plan to Ye Qingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, meet them at Barai Tower before heading in, find out the armed group’s true objective—his duty is only to transport Ies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, we’re cooperating with Victoria Household: they help find Renn’s whereabouts, and we just provide escort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there’s no payment involved, Ye Qingfeng doesn’t need to get involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng smiled: “True, but Renn helped Rabbit’s Den plenty before, and Victoria Household are my friends—just to be safe, I’d better go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That makes sense.” Zhe smirked, “Just friends with Victoria Household?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Learn to see but not speak, okay?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted, Ling finished her makeup, grabbed Ye Qingfeng’s arm, and headed out—before leaving, she reminded him: “Brother—clean up the bottles before I get back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! I’m not the only one who drank!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhe protested strongly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, you handle transporting Ies in and out of the Hollow. Leikarn and the others will protect you—I trust you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling stopped, narrowed her eyes, a cunning little devil through and through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want me to die faster, is that it?” Zhe’s lip twitched, “You don’t want your brother turning into a Wraith, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhe’s protest failed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister~ You’ve changed, become so unfamiliar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heartbroken...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling linked arms with Ye Qingfeng and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They took the subway toward the agreed location, meeting Victoria Household at Barai Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, the armed group began to confess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here’s how it went: our patron gave us a task—to do something on the roof of Building B of Barai Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you be more specific?” Leikarn asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our job was perimeter security—if anyone entered Barai Tower, we had to stop them from approaching Building B...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re the ones who cut the power!” Ling’s voice turned sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes... Our captain said you had that kind of power—you’re definitely not ordinary. He figured you came to rescue that girl, so he ordered us to lure away that strange Wraith.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—you just said ‘that girl’?!” Ling demanded. “Where is Renn? What did you do to her?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng stifled a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling is just too adorable—no one asks like that! To an outsider, it’d sound like pouting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The lady is currently with the captain on the roof of Building B—she’s not in immediate danger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rebel spoke rapidly—clearly desperate to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I interpret your statement as admitting your unit kidnapped Miss Renn?” Leikarn asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then signaled Ling to step aside, handing the rebels over to Lina to extract more details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng didn’t follow—he analyzed the information gathered so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, with the location known, he preferred to go alone—his Rosetta data versus Ling’s HDD system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could execute finer, more precise operations—like mapping detailed routes—but this time, the target lacked precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng had a detailed map—he could bulldoze straight through, rescue Renn, then find the nearest exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He personally judged this plan’s success rate nearly 100%—if a Wraith could defeat him, Leikarn’s team wouldn’t stand a chance either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, given the Hollow’s size, a Level Four Wraith is the absolute maximum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingfeng~ What are you thinking about? So serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Lian leaned in to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng looked up at the voice—before him appeared a face, cool and exquisitely carved; likely because she still had work ahead, her expression was impatient, yet her eyes held deep affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If nothing goes wrong, Ai Lian can clock out early!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng said, pinching Ai Lian’s cheek, then turned to find Ling and Leikarn still talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does that mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Lian watched Ye Qingfeng’s retreating back, blinking in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know the exact reason, but being able to leave early is great—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dropped her professional demeanor, sat on the nearest chair, lazily stretched and yawned, then frowned slightly as something occurred to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I leave early... will Leikarn dock my pay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever—forget it. If he cuts my pay, I’ll just ask Qingfeng to make it up later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe~ I’m such a clever little thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s up, Qingfeng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling noticed Ye Qingfeng approaching and asked first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I have a proposal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh—do tell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leikarn narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me half an... an hour. I guarantee I’ll bring Miss Renn out safely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng patted his chest, speaking with absolute conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling frowned tightly, instinctively rejecting his proposal: “No! Absolutely not!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, I also think this is not a good idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leikarn agreed—but after observing, he realized Ye Qingfeng wasn’t joking; he radiated complete confidence in his ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a different emotion stirred within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbelievable curiosity—and deep intrigue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he—no, perhaps only one person in all of Yanus District possesses such confidence: Star Seer Ya of the Star Seer Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On what grounds does Ye Qingfeng say this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From observation, he’s no reckless fool—he speaks of entering the Hollow alone to complete a rescue as casually as eating a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do not doubt your abilities, sir—but do you truly possess such strength?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leikarn’s tone toward Ye Qingfeng had subtly grown more respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>",1059,"2026-06-20T20:13:18.411Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","20fe301646a297984220784601d94491dd77546c546227f11f1f92dda39cec6f","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-261","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-259",280,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flove-life-begins-in-new-eliad-cover.jpg"]
