Are you seriously suggesting you work alongside a monster and treat it as a friend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiring a revenant as an employee? How bold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does this bastard Ye Qingfeng even understand the situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still... that elegance was too elegant! What time is this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the revenant, he might have actually made the offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the melody built toward its climax, the revenant’s dance shifted—another revenant emerged from its back, colored entirely black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took the silver revenant’s hand and danced in harmony with the music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are two revenants!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leicaen shouted to warn everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the rumors about this building are true...” Ling murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll hold them off. You find a chance to reach the rooftop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng stepped forward two paces, blocking the group, and signaled Leicaen to take Rien and Ies away first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Absolutely not!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling refused firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh... I think that’s not safe either. How about Ye Qingfeng and Leicaen go up together?” Rien suggested from the back, “Me and the Rope Jiang  sneak up later?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng glanced sideways at Rien. If this were the past, he’d have wholeheartedly agreed with her suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s adjust it slightly: Leicaen, take them up first, then come back down to support me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Leicaen, pretending to consult the group, but his eyes signaled him to act immediately—forcefully drag Ies and Rien to the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leicaen understood Ye Qingfeng’s intent perfectly, but he frowned, hesitating for a long while without moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, whichever choice he made was fine—his sole purpose for entering the Hollow was to observe Ye Qingfeng’s true combat strength and his connection to Aether energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng didn’t understand Leicaen’s true intentions, nor why he hadn’t acted yet; his frustration grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew when the airship might fail next? Nico, Mao You, and Anbi were still up there!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If I use Bullet Time to hurl Leicaen and the others to the rooftop, then return here to take the two revenants, how much time and stamina will it take at minimum?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Without conserving stamina, it can be done in two to three minutes, consuming three to five tenths of your stamina—exact amount depends on your usage.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three to five tenths? Let’s say four—enough to eliminate these revenants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leicaen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng decided to warn Leicaen first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would it be okay if we damaged Barre Building a bit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Very okay!” Leicaen had a bad feeling—“Wait! You’re going to—do WHAT—?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng activated Bullet Time instantly, snatched up Ies from beside his foot, shoved him into Rien’s arms, then hurled Leicaen and Rien toward the exit in sequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two and the fabric neared the exit, Ye Qingfeng seized the moment to test his teleportation ability—he drew a deep breath, activated the power, and vanished in a flash, reappearing beside Leicaen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landing first on the ground, he spun around to catch the falling group, dragged them onto the rooftop, then slammed the door shut and locked it with wire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after completing the sequence did Ye Qingfeng check his stamina cost from teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summary: Extremely useful—and stamina cost is low!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———Time resumes flowing———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng felt his stamina drop nearing four tenths; he immediately shut off Bullet Time to avoid exhausting himself before dealing with the two revenants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The revenants paused, bewildered by the sudden disappearance—their faceless expressions seemed to ask: Where did they go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could think further, they sensed a sharp rise in Aether concentration behind them. They turned—and saw Ye Qingfeng raising one hand like a gun, a purple sphere expanding before his fingertip, Aether visibly converging into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two revenants exchanged a single, perfectly synchronized glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should we fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there a fight to be had?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we dodge or endure this strike, we’ll turn the tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if we don’t?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s retreat? Good revenants don’t suffer unnecessary losses...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, let’s go...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng feared these revenants might launch a surprise attack—they moved too fast, and his Aether sphere could easily be dodged at range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to wait until the charge was complete, then use Bullet Time to close the distance and guarantee a hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure one-shot elimination, he compressed the Aether sphere to its absolute limit—near his control threshold—so one shot would be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already imagined his cool pose—only for the enemy to refuse to cooperate...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing they had vanished completely, he lost interest and released the compressed Aether sphere. The purple ring expanded, nearly affecting the entire Hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dismissed it as a visual effect, not thinking further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaware that the Hollow’s Aether concentration had subtly risen—twice in succession—and even so, it changed nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forming the sphere increased Aether concentration; releasing it (like an explosion) raised the baseline Aether level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short: the former raised quality, the latter raised quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a single drop falling into a lake—no ripple at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Almost forgot to post—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next segment after this scene will reveal all foreshadowing. These chapters may feel rushed, with fast pacing.)\u003C\u002Fp>",929,"2026-06-20T20:13:18.411Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","487beeb77513d98957347053ffc5b8c1a3dc9d4b05f81c1152dacd27fbfee440","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-268","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-266",280,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flove-life-begins-in-new-eliad-cover.jpg"]
