"A flying man?"
Wu Yue was startled, frozen in place.
How could a flying man exist in this world? Was it an illusion? Wu Yue rubbed her eyes again, but the man was still flying down!
"It's real! There really is a flying man in this world! But why is he covering his head?"
That's right, the flying man had his head wrapped with clothing. He was none other than Yang Tian. The reason he covered his head was that he couldn't let the world know he could fly. He could fly because of the mysterious cultivation technique he had been practicing since he was bitten by a Thousand-Year Python during a mission. This technique allowed him to traverse the skies and destroy mountains, making him a globally feared top-level mercenary and super-special forces soldier.
Tonight, he had no choice but to act!
Liu Shi was Wu Yue's cousin. If something happened to her, Wu Yue would be devastated, and as Wu Yue's temporary boyfriend, who was also going to meet her parents, he had to help Wu Yue rescue Liu Shi.
But he couldn't let anyone know he could fly.
In this scientific world, the mysterious cultivation technique within him was the magical treasure he relied on for survival.
He flew toward the falling BMW, broke through the window, and grabbed the plummeting Liu Shi.
"Ah..." Liu Shi was in the throes of survival instinct. When she looked up and saw a man landing on her car, her face changed, feeling like she was dreaming, but the pain coursing through her body told her this was the real world.
So, was the man before her real?
Liu Shi was stunned. Did this man fly down from the bridge and then enter her car? Who was he? A flying man?
Yang Tian grabbed the seatbelt securing Liu Shi, pulled hard, and with a snap, broke it. He then reached out, embraced Liu Shi, and started to take her out. He stepped forcefully on the car door, and while holding Liu Shi, flew upwards. In mid-air, he held Liu Shi tightly, activating the cultivation technique within him to make himself fly.
"Ah..."
Liu Shi was momentarily stunned but quickly realized that instead of falling, she was flying toward the opposite cliff, swiftly yet smoothly. The sound of the wind whistled past, and she opened her eyes, staring intently at the young man holding her. The young man had his head wrapped in clothes, only exposing a pair of deep and captivating eyes. His gaze was very determined and powerful. In his embrace, Liu Shi felt a sense of security and stability she hadn't experienced before.
She hadn't felt this stability for a long time, ever since that major accident ten years ago, when she had been bearing all of life's burdens alone.
And now, at the most dangerous moment of her life, a man had unhesitatingly leapt out to save her, holding her tightly. His strong chest was so warm, his strong arms so powerful. In his arms, she felt so secure.
Even though she couldn't clearly see what the man looked like, she felt an overwhelming warmth emanating from him.
This long-lost warmth touched her heart.
At that moment, she knew she had completely fallen in love with this Night Hero!
Yang Tian, holding Liu Shi, didn't notice Liu Shi quietly gazing up at him with eyes already filled with tenderness, love, and warmth. He was focused on flying toward the opposite cliff, bringing Liu Shi there and landing, putting her down, and urgently cultivating to replenish the Spiritual Breath he had expended.
Liu Shi stood there, quietly watching Yang Tian, saying nothing, just gazing silently.
It wasn't clear how long this lasted. Yang Tian stood up, his Spiritual Breath fully recovered. It was time for him to leave, but as he stood up, Liu Shi immediately asked, "Who are you?"
"Who I am doesn't matter; what's important is that you're alive," Yang Tian offered a faint smile.
With that, he was about to fly away, but Liu Shi blocked him, standing in front of Yang Tian with outstretched arms, saying, "Can't you at least leave me a phone number?"
"Why should I leave you one?"
"So we can meet up and talk sometime..." Liu Shi was not shy at all and was very direct, "If possible, I'd like to thank you again!"
"No need!"
Yang Tian really wanted to go on a date with Liu Shi. Who knows, maybe she would willing. But reason told him that was impossible. The mysterious cultivation technique within him was a secret only he could know. If others found out, he would definitely be taken to a research institution. This was the magical treasure he relied on for survival and could not be shared!
Yang Tian ran forward.
"Wait..." Liu Shi called again, "You saved me, haven't you thought that I might reward you?"
Oh my!
Yang Tian thought to himself, then flew with all his might, soaring into the air and disappearing into the stony thicket in an instant, leaving Liu Shi standing alone, staring in the direction where Yang Tian had disappeared, unable to calm down for a long time. Eventually, she stomped the ground hard, "You plan to make sure I don't know anything? You want me not to repay you? Then you should have just let me fall, let me handle it myself, but I'm telling you now, for the rest of my life, I'm going to find you! Because you've touched my soul!"
Yang Tian disappeared into the forest.
He landed, then changed clothes carefully and checked himself over. Half an hour later, he ran out of the woods and returned to the scene, finding it surrounded by police. Yang Tian quickly walked in, approached Wu Yue, and pretended to be pale, "Your cousin was in an accident..."
Wu Yue turned to Yang Tian, "You know, just now a Night Hero flew out and saved my cousin!"
"What? Night Hero?" Yang Tian feigned ignorance.
"My cousin, she was rescued..." Wu Yue saw the line of firefighters carrying a stretcher up front and quickly called Yang Tian to follow her. When they saw Liu Shi, Wu Yue immediately asked, "Cousin, are you okay?"
Liu Shi had been silent. Her expression was calm, as if she wasn't thinking about anything, very tranquil. In fact, her mind was filled with the incident of the Night Hero flying in to save her. Her eyes were full of determination: she had to find him!
But when she saw Yang Tian, she was taken aback, staring firmly at him. At that moment, she suspected that the Yang Tian in front of her was the Night Hero she was seeking, but looking at Yang Tian's lazy smile, and sensing the sly demeanor he exuded, she shook her head: Impossible, this guy tried to grope me the first time we met, how could he be the Night Hero? That Night Hero saved me without asking for repayment, leaving immediately like a typical altruistic hero, not someone like Yang Tian?
"Could you please come with me, away from the scene?" A police officer called to Yang Tian and the two of them before leading the way out.
The whole way, Liu Shi remained very quiet, lost in her thoughts, while Wu Yue felt extremely guilty. Seeing her cousin was unharmed, she was relieved.
Yang Tian wasn't in the mood to talk either. He had just exhausted the Spiritual Breath within him, reaching his limit and felt very tired, arriving at the cultivation's Spirit-Breaking Point. He knew it was time to find a woman.
Three years ago, when he acquired this mysterious cultivation technique, his missions became very successful.
But after every mission, he had to find a woman.
Because once his body reached the Spirit-Breaking Point, he needed a woman to stimulate his body's exhaustion.
Soon, under the guidance of the police officer, the three arrived at the outside of a police car.
Yang Tian, Liu Shi, and Wu Yue hurried into the car, presumably to return to the police station, not realizing that the police officer behind them suddenly drew a gun, the dark muzzle pointed at Liu Shi's head...
