What are you doing here?!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi turned at the sound, her weary little face twisted with fear; her grip on the sack loosened instinctively as she blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh~ Qingyi-chan has such a disheveled side too—” Ye Qingfeng forced a grin, “We hit the jackpot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I asked how you got here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi frowned tightly, shouting out without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your friends are all scattered on the ground—aren’t you going to pick them up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng pointed at the scattered Bambus, noticing Qingyi’s childlike face darken further; he sneered, “I came here to save you, and you’re yelling at me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have any way out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi took a deep breath, immediately steadying herself, turned to gather the Bambus from the ground, gently placing them back into the sack, and asked without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi took a deep breath, immediately steadied her composure, turned around, and gently picked up the Bambus from the ground, putting them back into the sack without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi turned her head, scanning around—no one in sight; her expression turned puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ask? Ask whom? God?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng ignored her questioning look, focusing intently on mapping the route; in moments, he plotted the fastest escape path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under ideal conditions, with no obstacles, the two could run out of the hollow in under ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality was far from ideal: both he and Qingyi had expended most of their strength, and they were carrying a heavy sack of bamboo—there would inevitably be skeletons blocking their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even under the best estimate, it would take at least half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng’s face darkened; if they abandoned the Bambus, they might cut five to seven minutes off the escape time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingyi, do we really have to take all these Bambus?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked tentatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi lowered her eyes, biting her lip lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew leaving the Bambus would increase their chance of escape—but to abandon her own kind...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden surge of resentment rose in her heart—aimed squarely at the high-ups of New Eli: how could they treat Bambus lives as worthless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To most people, cats and dogs were more precious than Bambus; few treated animals as family, but many treated Bambus as tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To most people, cats and dogs were far more precious than Bambus; after all, few regarded animals as family, but many saw Bambus as mere tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph—wasn’t she a tool too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi took another deep breath, as if steeling herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we don’t take them, we have no evidence to convict the criminals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She changed tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we encounter an emergency or threat, just leave—don’t hesitate. If the hollow expands fully, our chance of escaping will vanish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, okay.” Ye Qingfeng nodded, then extended his hand toward her, “Give me the sack—I’ve got a way to carry them out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi froze, then, almost unconsciously, handed him the sack full of Bambus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi froze, and before she knew it, handed over the sack filled with Bambus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng grabbed the sack, pointed randomly in one direction, shouted, and as Qingyi turned to look, he swiftly stuffed the Bambus into his space backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng took the sack, pointed randomly in one direction and shouted loudly; as Qingyi turned to look, he hastily stuffed the Bambus into his spatial backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi glared at Ye Qingfeng with wounded eyes; the next second, she noticed the sack with the Bambus had vanished—her mouth opened slightly, then snapped shut without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Ding! Ding! The aether activity within the hollow is rising. In twenty seconds, a spatial rift will open three meters directly behind the host, leading straight to the hollow’s exit.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【In thirty seconds, the hollow’s expansion rate will accelerate geometrically—its final extent is unpredictable.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng heard the good news, his smile lasting less than a second before it froze at the next message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng heard the good news from the system—his smile hadn’t even lasted a second before the next message made it freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【If the hollow’s expansion isn’t halted soon, it will reach the nearest street within five minutes, fully occupy it within half an hour, then accelerate outward.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【If the hollow’s expansion is not halted soon, it will reach the nearest street within five minutes, fully occupy it within half an hour, and accelerate outward.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi grew impatient, shouting loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No—wait ten more seconds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng lifted his gaze, speaking calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi’s current state was deeply wrong—she paced restlessly, agitated, as if about to explode at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi’s current state was deeply wrong—she paced restlessly in place, agitated and tense, as if about to erupt at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Qingyi’s current symptoms indicate early-stage erosion: negative effects will manifest.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【If she remains in this high-aether zone, she will next suffer memory loss, followed by an unprecedented sense of euphoria, then aether crystals will spread across her body.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Same condition as the host’s first entry into the hollow.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you still waiting? If we don’t leave the hollow now...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi’s body went limp, collapsing forward; Ye Qingfeng lunged forward, catching her and pulling her into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor Ies slipped from her grasp, rolling all the way to the spot where the rift was about to form; Ye Qingfeng watched, his mouth twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucky dog! It actually stumbled onto a lifeline...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing—let go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi struggled, punching weakly at his chest—her blows were pitiful, like a girl pouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop struggling—ha ha ha, you’re not escaping my grasp!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng grinned wickedly, holding Qingyi as he stepped forward; whether by calculation or luck, he stepped into the rift the instant it opened, and kicked Ies ahead of him, sending the little Bambus flying into the rift first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world spun violently—the scenery around them shifted utterly; Ye Qingfeng ignored Qingyi’s tiny fists, mentally locking onto the hollow’s exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He confirmed the left wall was the exit; he casually kicked up Ies, sending it arcing through the air before it landed gently in Qingyi’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the sudden appearance of Ies, her childish face lighting up with delight; she hugged it tightly, settling down quietly, motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, Ye Qingfeng shuddered involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell? Has Qingyi broken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay still and don’t move.” Ye Qingfeng spoke, testing his theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lie still and don’t move,” Ye Qingfeng said, to test his hypothesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirmed—she’s definitely broken...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng noticed the number of skeletons around him increasing visibly, more active than ever—clearly not a good sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no time to entertain Qingyi; he had to escape before the skeletons spotted them—he kicked hard against the nearby wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no interest in teasing Qingyi; he needed to leave the hollow quickly before Yihai discovered them, and kicked hard against the nearby wall.\u003C\u002Fp>",1216,"2026-06-20T20:13:18.411Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1b53e9537ffd45d67677c7bf3ba195bd6f38b6cf0a56bcf06458320528e9c772","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-273","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-271",280,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flove-life-begins-in-new-eliad-cover.jpg"]
