Yun Yao felt her legs trembling wildly from excessive fatigue. Although she had received more training than ordinary people, carrying a man on her back for such a long distance was still somewhat too much for her.

Xu Qian and Yan Zhichun came with her to the entrance of “Heaven’s Mouth.”

Today’s guards were Old Lu and Little Glasses. The two immediately spotted Yun Yao and were instantly startled. Yun Yao was covered in blood, and on her back was a crimson-red person. Given this amount of bleeding, he probably couldn’t survive.

“Yun Yao, what happened to you?” Old Lu asked with some concern.

“I’m fine. The injured one isn’t me—it’s Chen Junnan.” Yun Yao shouted somewhat anxiously. “Hurry and call a doctor! Quickly prepare items to stop the bleeding!”

After hearing this, Old Lu immediately turned and ran into the teaching building. The thin Little Glasses walked forward and carefully examined Chen Junnan on Yun Yao’s back.

After a short while, he shook his head. This man’s condition was truly too poor.

“Yun Yao, there’s no point in saving this man.” Little Glasses said somewhat regretfully. “Even if you can stop his bleeding, he won’t be able to heal fully in the remaining time. You’d only be increasing his suffering. Better to let him find release sooner.”

After hearing this, Yun Yao’s eyes turned cold as she said slowly: “How much he suffers is none of my concern, but I absolutely cannot let this man die. He gambled Earth-Snake to death. I want to use him to prove to everyone that it’s possible to survive after gambling an Earth-level ‘Zodiac’ to death.”

Little Glasses was slightly stunned after hearing this. He distinctly felt a strange obsession emanating from Yun Yao.

“You’re saying he gambled an ‘Earth-level’ to death?”

“That’s right. After all these years, what Chu Tianqiu couldn’t lead us to accomplish, he accomplished.” Yun Yao wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, then shook the Earth-Snake head in her hand. “You should be able to tell what this head belongs to, right?”

Little Glasses narrowed his eyes and looked. Naturally, he could tell this was the head of an Earth-level “Zodiac,” but just what was the background of this man called Chen Junnan?

How could he accomplish such a feat?

Xu Qian looked up at this school, feeling this organization seemed quite a bit larger than they had imagined.

Yan Zhichun also moved her lips at the side: “‘Heaven’s Mouth’…”

“I’m coming!” Old Lu brought two young men, carrying a long bench as they ran out. “Quick! Quickly lay that man down! I just asked, and there’s a Doctor Zhao who happens to be here. Maybe he can save him!”

Xu Qian helped Yun Yao support Chen Junnan down onto the long bench. Several people hurriedly carried him toward Doctor Zhao’s room.

After several violent jolts, Chen Junnan actually slowly opened his eyes. His pupils looked somewhat unfocused. After a long while, he slowly blinked and looked at the dark red sky.

“Wait…” he said weakly. “You all wait a moment…”

“What?” Old Lu asked anxiously. “Young man, you’re at death’s door right now. Stop talking.”

“I said wait…” Chen Junnan forcefully reached out and grabbed a corner of Old Lu’s clothing. “Bro, make them stop…”

“What for?” Old Lu asked with a frown. “You don’t want to live anymore?”

“Your boy needs to pee…” Chen Junnan smiled bitterly. “There are all girls here, not very convenient…”

“You’re in such a state and still need to pee?” Old Lu cursed angrily. “Brat, just piss your pants!”

“That won’t do…” Chen Junnan used all his body’s strength to sit up, then exerted force in his hands. “Big brother, I know you’re a good person, but let me take a piss first…”

“Tsk… you young fellow…” Old Lu sighed helplessly, had the two young men stop, then turned back to the girls. “So… you three step aside for a moment. This kid insists on pissing right now…”

After hearing this, the three girls also stopped in place, staring at Chen Junnan who was already covered in blood.

Chen Junnan stood up shakily, then staggered to the side.

“Kid, let me help you…” Old Lu worriedly grabbed Chen Junnan’s arm, but Chen Junnan shook it off.

“No need, bro. This kind of thing doesn’t need help.”

Chen Junnan waved his hand and walked very slowly by himself toward the pile of rotting corpses on the field.

Yun Yao shook her head and bent down to pound her legs. She had already heard the bell sound when coming earlier—her “Strong Luck” had ended. But now standing in “Heaven’s Mouth’s” territory, Yan Zhichun beside her shouldn’t act recklessly.

“I must say…” Yan Zhichun looked at Yun Yao with a smile. “He’s going to pee. You’re not following?”

Yun Yao looked up after hearing this, her brows slightly furrowed: “Is that necessary?”

“Isn’t he very important to you?” Yan Zhichun said again. “After hearing your speech just now, I thought you were a smart person. I didn’t expect you to be so careless.”

“What…?”

Yun Yao blinked, carefully processing Yan Zhichun’s words, then turned to look at Chen Junnan. She saw him reach the mountain of corpses, rest against Qiao Jiajin’s body for a moment, then slowly pick up a stone from the ground.

“This is bad…”

Just as Chen Junnan was about to smash this stone toward his own forehead, Yun Yao suddenly appeared and firmly grabbed his arm.

“Hey! Chen Junnan!” Yun Yao called out. “What are you doing?”

“Ah…?” Chen Junnan turned his head somewhat dazedly. “What do you mean what am I doing? Big star, move aside… your boy wants to die…”

“You can’t die!” Yun Yao seized the stone from Chen Junnan’s hand and threw it far away. “You survived from Earth-Snake’s venue with such difficulty. How can you die so easily?”

“You…” Chen Junnan looked extremely tired. He slowly bent over, both hands propped on his knees, panting heavily. “Big star… you’re making things difficult for me… I just wanted to find a place with no one to secretly die…”

Chen Junnan’s voice grew smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

“I didn’t cause anyone trouble, right?” Chen Junnan said with a trembling voice. “I’m in so much pain right now… I don’t want to live another minute. I just wanted to die next to my brother…”

“You, you can’t die.” Yun Yao said insistently.

“Please, I beg you…” Chen Junnan’s lips moved slightly. “Let me die… please, I beg you…”

After hearing this, Yun Yao’s eyes showed some sadness, but she still firmly gripped Chen Junnan’s arm: “Chen Junnan… I understand you’re in great pain, but I’m sorry—I truly cannot let you die.”

“You won’t listen, will you…” Chen Junnan’s eyes gradually lost their luster. “So your boy has run into a bully again, huh…”

“Old Lu!” Yun Yao stared at Chen Junnan and shouted expressionlessly. “He’s done with the bathroom. Quickly take him to stop the bleeding.”

“Ah… alright!”

Old Lu brought the two young men running over, placed Chen Junnan back on the long bench, and after lifting it, headed toward the teaching building.

Watching Yun Yao standing there in a daze, Yan Zhichun walked forward a few steps and said to her: “What, now that we’re here, won’t you invite us in to sit?”
