Chapter 236: Ye Wen and Shui Binger
Soon, people began to doubt if they were hallucinating. One of them asked, "Hey... am I seeing things? Did the head of the Huang family... die?"
"It's not an illusion... This is not an illusion! He... really was killed!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd erupted in chaos.
"Damn! Damn!!!"
"My God!!"
"He's dead! He's really dead!!"
"This young man... killed the head of the Huang family with a single punch!"
"Ahhh!!!"
"He killed a Soul Saint with one punch!!!"
Ye Wen's actions shocked the entire scene.
"Who is this young man? How is he so strong!!!"
"Terrifying!!"
The onlookers were in a frenzy, while the Huang family's soldiers were terrified. In an instant, they dropped their weapons and started running for their lives.
"Benefactor!!"
At that moment, the crowd watching had already reached hundreds of people. Among them were many who had been bullied by the Huang family and had lost everything because of them.
They all knelt on the ground, deeply grateful to Ye Wen.
"Thank you for eliminating such a villain! They've been using their noble status to terrorize Star Night City, bullying countless people and even killing them on a whim!"
"Today, by killing these despicable nobles, the people of Star Night City will finally have some peace for a while! You are our benefactor!!"
The crowd grew larger and larger, with most of them kneeling and sincerely thanking Ye Wen. The power the Huang family had in this area was evident, and it was clear that the people despised them. But there was still a sense of uncertainty in their gratitude, as they weren't sure who would take control of Star Night City in the future. If it was someone like the Huang family, their lives wouldn't improve much.
In the empire's feudal system, nobles ruled over territories, and many of them were cruel and corrupt. In fact, there were more evil people among the nobles than in the Spirit Hall's scattered branches across the continent.
"There's no need to thank me. Don't call me a benefactor. To me, they simply provoked me, and I killed them. That's all." Ye Wen said. He then turned to Shui Binger and Zhu Zhuqing. "Let's go."
"Mm-hmm!"
Shui Binger and Zhu Zhuqing followed behind Ye Wen as they slowly disappeared from the crowd's sight.
The crowd watched as Ye Wen and the two girls walked away, their gazes filled with admiration, especially for the words Ye Wen had left behind.
Ye Wen had only spoken the truth: he hadn't aimed to save anyone or punish evil—he had simply been provoked and had dealt with it. But the people, in their admiration, had mythologized his actions. Watching the three of them leave, they felt he was truly heroic.
This incident would soon spread across the entire Star Luo Empire.
Hero, savior, a righteous hero?
Ye Wen didn't want to be any of these things. He had no desire, no interest in being a savior. He simply wanted to do what he needed to do: protect the people he cared about.
He didn't have grand ambitions, nor did he want any in the human world.
A while later.
Ye Wen and his group checked into a new hotel, booking two rooms: one for Zhu Zhuqing, and one for Ye Wen and Shui Binger.
At night, after taking a bath, Ye Wen and Shui Binger lay down to rest on the bed.
In the quiet of the night, Shui Binger, still radiating a pleasant fragrance from her bath, lay on her side, her body pressed against Ye Wen's arm, snuggling into his embrace.
The warmth from Shui Binger's body instantly made Ye Wen's heart race.
"Binger, if you keep this up, I might have to use my martial soul fusion skill," Ye Wen said, his gaze on the hazy, beautiful Shui Binger.
Shui Binger's face turned slightly red as she whispered shyly, "Then you..."
"Mm."
Before Shui Binger could finish her sentence, Ye Wen gently sealed her lips with his.
The two embraced, falling deeper into the moment.
Before long, the backlash from their soul tools reached its peak.
"Binger, use the martial soul fusion technique!" Ye Wen said passionately, wanting to suppress the backlash from the soul tool.
"Mm~" Shui Binger answered gently.
She was both afraid and eager, knowing very well that Ye Wen's strength had reached a point where she couldn't suppress the backlash alone. She would need to expend her soul power multiple times to suppress it.
Each time they used the fusion technique, by the end, Shui Binger would be completely exhausted, her energy drained.
It was also one of the reasons Shui Binger had hoped that Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Wen would merge their powers.
Ye Wen did not hesitate, calling forth terrifying power, gathering it into the soul tool, and then, in an instant, began the martial soul fusion technique with Shui Binger.
Shui Binger frowned slightly but soon calmed herself.
Ye Wen accelerated the flow of his soul power, and the energy between him and Shui Binger surged as they carried out the fusion technique.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ye... Ye Wen!!" Shui Binger clung tightly to Ye Wen's arm, struggling to suppress the backlash.
Hours later.
"Ahhh~!" Shui Binger screamed loudly.
Soon, her energy and soul power were drained, and she reached her limit, but the backlash from Ye Wen's soul tool could not be suppressed.
Seeing this, she gritted her teeth and continued to release her power, continuing the martial soul fusion.
Time passed quickly, and the process of martial soul fusion was long. Shui Binger exhausted her energy and soul power time and time again, pushing herself to the limit.
"Shui Binger, like this, you're in front, I'm behind, I'll inject my soul power into my palms, control your waist to assist, and then inject the soul power into the soul tool to activate the fusion technique. Got it?"
"Mm~"
Shui Binger nodded, adjusting the fusion technique and moving closer to Ye Wen. Slowly, she positioned herself as instructed.
"Binger, focus!"
"Mm!"
Ye Wen glanced at her, took a deep breath, and with a serious expression, immediately injected his soul power into the soul tool, releasing the fusion technique in an instant.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ye Wen unleashed another round of intense power.
Meanwhile, in the room next door, Zhu Zhuqing's face was flushed, her eyes tightly closed.
