If I’d arrived any later, who knows? After all, the airship went out of control just ten minutes ago; it’s surprising they haven’t killed her off yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something’s off~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because she still has value—her hacking skills caught the attention of the rebels’ employer, so she’s still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They haven’t started yet? Are they waiting for news?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng rubbed his chin, pondering his next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes there’s no need to overcomplicate things. Rescuing Ren as quickly as possible will inevitably expose his control over Aether, so eliminating these rebels is necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sss—too brutal, and risky exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main goal is to save Ren and have her disable the airship’s control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullet time it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ye Qingfeng prepared to act, movement came from the opposite corner—a rebel stumbled out, panting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“C...Captain—the Wolxi and a Bambu are almost here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, prepare to retreat—wait, what? Just one person?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rebel captain ordered his men to fall back, then froze, realizing something was wrong, and asked sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, and a Bambu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah!” The rebel captain sneered, waving his hand. “One man dares to chase us? We have nearly a dozen—advantage is ours!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The messenger rebel whimpered, “They’ve got a Bambu too...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Bambu? Can a cat or dog like that even affect the battle? Even a hundred Bambus won’t matter—let them get through our firepower first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rebel captain grew even more dismissive—his earlier panic had now turned into arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ooooh—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain is awesome!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding rebels erupted in cheers at this declaration of victory; some even fired a burst into the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren, her mouth sealed with tape, fell into utter despair: good news, someone came to rescue her; bad news, only one person came—and he’d likely die right in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in her life, she desperately wished to be arrested by the Public Security Bureau—and hoped the messenger had mistaken the Wolxi for a fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Ren’s mind, the only person who could rescue her alone was Captain Xingjian Ya of Division Six!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here’s a joke: in ordinary eyes, the corpses are monsters—but when faced with Xingjian Ya’s charged triple slash, who’s the real monster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the rebels cheered, Ye Qingfeng seized the moment and activated bullet time—his thoughts sharpened, and he could even feel time slowing around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many times he used it, it still felt miraculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sprinted forward in a burst, racing straight toward Ren; each rebel stood frozen as if under a paralysis spell, utterly ignoring Ye Qingfeng as he darted past them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He effortlessly scooped up Ren in a bridal carry, carrying her to safety, and quickly deactivated bullet time once he’d created distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng breathed heavily, as if a portion of his strength had been suddenly drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he have lost so much stamina in just over a minute?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly one-tenth of his stamina vanished—he narrowed his eyes and quickly realized the cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number and strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though each of them was at most Level One, their sheer numbers meant affecting over a dozen for over a minute wasn’t surprising—it consumed one-tenth of his stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they were only Level One—if they’d been stronger, his stamina drain might have multiplied exponentially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Ye Qingfeng’s calm analysis, Ren and the rebels reacted completely differently to what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Ren’s panicked face, confusion surfaced: what Ye Qingfeng had accomplished in over a minute appeared to others as a single instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only felt herself collapse into a warm haven, wind slicing past her ears like a thousand blades, emitting piercing tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the rebels, by contrast, Ye Qingfeng had flashed past like the Flash—so fast he left afterimages. For a moment, they assumed they’d imagined it—until they saw Ren’s original spot now empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, that guy’s gone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first rebel to notice Ren’s disappearance screamed at the top of his lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?! Find her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos erupted as the rebels, under their captain’s orders, frantically scanned left and right for Ren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng made no effort to hide; soon one rebel spotted him and pointed, shouting, “Brothers—he’s over there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All rebels turned their gaze toward Ye Qingfeng, raising their weapons and aiming at him—but not a single trigger was pulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than a dozen gun barrels, like snakes hissing, targeted Ye Qingfeng’s forehead—yet he remained calm, even smiling more broadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either he was a fool who didn’t know how to die, or a master who believed bullets couldn’t threaten him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the rebels leaned toward the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rebel captain clenched his teeth—he knew prolonging this helped no one, yet the order to fire stuck in his throat. He dared not gamble on the former possibility, nor risk his men’s lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, you have two choices,” Ye Qingfeng said coldly. “One: leave immediately. Two: pull the trigger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rebel captain looked torn, unsure what to do—when Ye Qingfeng’s expression suddenly shifted, his face filled with impatience, his tone casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tch! Fine. I guess no matter what you choose, you won’t be satisfied. Go ahead—shoot. After all, I’m not some indiscriminate killer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll allow you to fire one magazine’s worth of bullets. That way, you can report back, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if you just run off now, you’ll still be unsatisfied, won’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-20T20:13:18.411Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e62c457b0930a3e899fc9ad236e070debb04c9048a7cb1c80d820c99e6730391","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-266","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-264",280,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flove-life-begins-in-new-eliad-cover.jpg"]
