Chapter 25: Going Home

Su Xiaoxiao never expected that Evran would just kiss her like that!

It was an unguarded kiss, a sudden act that caught Su Xiaoxiao off guard. The moment their lips parted, she coughed violently, her cheeks flushed crimson, as if she had choked.

“Evran! You… you scoundrel!”

“Hmph, this is all your fault!”

Evran’s eyes shifted, and she gave a cunning smile, unceremoniously pushing all the blame away. “Who told you to deliberately make yourself look so cute to tempt me? If you dare to tease me, shouldn’t you be prepared to be ‘punished’ by me?”

Her words were perfectly watertight, and even carried a hint of playfulness, leaving Su Xiaoxiao speechless.

Subsequently, a Blood Blade slashed towards Evran.

But in response, a Blood Scythe clanged against it, emitting a hard metallic sound. Both sides exerted force almost simultaneously, and dazzling sparks erupted between the two weapons.

“Hold on a second! Among us Bloodkin, such kissing is perfectly normal!”

“Is that so? Then fall into hell with me, Bloodkin!!!”

“Oh, will you listen to me! Su Xiaoxiao—I’m sorry, I’m sorry, isn’t that enough, stop chasing me and hitting me!!!”

At the same time.

On the other side, Su Xiao Zi had just finished her communication with Tina.

She lightly pressed the communicator by her ear and began to contact the base, her voice calm and clear:

– “Sister, the battle report has been submitted. Tina has cleared all Beyond Beasts within the school campus. She encountered Bloodkin midway, but something unexpected occurred—when the fifth Bloodkin appeared, it actually attacked its own comrades.”

– “Attacked comrades?” The voice on the other end of the communication carried a hint of surprise, “It seems the Bloodkin internal structure isn’t monolithic either. Just like us humans, infighting is inevitable. This is a point worth noting.”

– “Yes, I’ve already sent the detailed report to headquarters, thank you for your hard work,” Su Xiao Zi replied.

– “No, it’s you, those on the front lines, who work hard,” the other party’s tone was gentle, “I will organize the battle situation and report it. The Bloodkin attack in Tantan City this time is of great importance, and the higher-ups will handle it cautiously.”

– “Mm, Tantan City has always been peaceful, I don’t want it to be destroyed,” Su Xiao Zi’s voice held firm conviction.

After a brief silence in the communication, the other party hesitated before speaking: – “Xiao Zhe… is he doing okay?”

– “Don’t worry, I just contacted Big Brother, he shouldn’t have been affected,” Su Xiao Zi answered, her tone slightly more relaxed.

– “That’s good. He probably doesn’t know about the Exterminators and Bloodkin, does he?”

– “Probably…” Su Xiao Zi’s voice was somewhat hesitant.

– “Sigh, I hope we can completely repel the Bloodkin before ordinary people realize the crisis. After the Beyond War… new threats continue,” a heavy sigh came from the other end of the communication.

While responding, Su Xiao Zi looked down at the message on her phone screen.

Her brother’s text message reassured her slightly, but doubts began to grow in her heart. Why did her brother only text to say he was safe? When the call connected, she clearly didn’t hear her brother’s familiar voice, but instead, an unfamiliar female voice.

Even stranger, her brother said he had something important to tell her face-to-face when he got home – what could it be?

She ended the communication and quickly entered the department store elevator. As she descended, her gaze gradually became firm. She clenched her fists, her conviction in her heart as unshakable as a rock—

No matter what, she had to protect her brother’s ordinary life.

She would never let him be dragged into the bloodshed between humans and Bloodkin!
