Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 278 Arrest

He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft," raised his head, and glared at Geng Miaowan, "You..."

Geng Miaowan glanced at him apologetically, then smiled with a hint of smugness, "Peng Yuxian, I didn't expect you to be so easy to fool."

"Why..." He looked at her with confusion in his eyes.

"Why?" Geng Miaowan felt she couldn't look him in the eye, so she stared at his nose instead and said coldly, "You think that after you did those things, almost killing me and leaving me with no power, I would still believe you would help you? Heh, you're too naive!"

At this moment, while Peng Yuxian was talking to Geng Miaowan, Luan Hao attacked again. Peng Yuxian tried to defend himself a few times, but was once again sent flying by Luan Hao. This time, it was clearly much more serious than the last time.

He could barely stand up without holding onto the wall.

However, the pain in his body was not as intense as the pain in his heart.

"Why waste so much breath on him?" Qiu Pi's cold voice came from behind Geng Miaowan.

Geng Miaowan turned her head and smiled gently at him, "You've come?"

Qiu Pi smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the first person in the room, including the suddenly appearing Luan Hao, and his smile deepened.

Peng Yuxian stared wide-eyed at the two people laughing at each other, his eyes turning bloodshot, almost spitting fire. "So... you two were in cahoots..." He was lost in thought for a moment, then chuckled softly, a desolate and sorrowful laugh that could almost bring tears to one's eyes. However, Geng Miaowan looked at him expressionlessly, as if she were looking at an insignificant person.

No one noticed that her fingers, gripping the water glass tightly, were slightly white from the force.

Peng Yuxian, if you're smart, you should have rushed out the window and escaped right then and there.

However, Peng Yuxian wasn't as clever as she had imagined. After a low chuckle, his aura suddenly surged, and his eyes turned blood red. Veins bulged from his neck upwards, his eyes blazing with fury! Long, sharp fingernails grew from his hands. What surprised Geng Miaowan even more was that after he completed this series of changes, a pair of wings slowly sprouted from his back…

This is beyond her comprehension.

"What is he trying to do?" she asked Qiu Pi.

Qiu Pi looked at Peng Yuxian with a faint sneer on his face, but answered Geng Miaowan in an extremely gentle and soft voice, "He wanted to forcibly use the last of his strength."

After saying that, he rushed towards Peng Yuxian.

Geng Miaowan didn't know what Qiu Pi meant by the last bit of power in his body, but since he used the adjective "last," it must mean that the situation was not optimistic.

Originally, she planned to have Qiu Pi arrest Peng Yuxian. Although Qiu Pi was stronger than Peng Yuxian, she had secretly asked Xu Ruwen to notify Ji Hongzhang. Before Ji Hongzhang arrived, Peng Yuxian would at most be beaten a few times by Qiu Pi and suffer some physical pain.

But she never expected that Luan Hao would appear here, and that he would severely injure Peng Yuxian before Qiu Pi arrived. Peng Yuxian's condition was already very bad; if the two of them joined forces, he would definitely not be able to leave here alive today.

"Luan Hao!" Thinking of this, she suddenly called out to Luan Hao, who was about to rush over again. Luan Hao paused, turned around and looked at her, "Where have you been all this time? I asked Xu Ruwen to look for you, but we can't find you anywhere."

As she wished, Luan Hao was drawn over by her words, or rather, by her presence. He turned to look at Peng Yuxian, who was cornered by Qiu Pi, before saying, "I've discovered something interesting."

"What fun things?" Geng Miaowan asked, wondering why he had that creepy smile on his face when he talked about fun things.

"Come with me, and I'll tell you," he said, reaching for her hand to leave.

Out of the corner of her eye, Geng Miaowan saw Peng Yuxian being slammed against the wall by Qiu Pi's palm, and he was still unable to recover for a long time. Ji Hongzhang hadn't arrived yet, and if she left now, Peng Yuxian would likely die here.

Realizing this, she hurriedly shook off Luan Hao's hand, "I'm not leaving!"

Luan Hao was taken aback. Perhaps not expecting her to reject him, he suddenly raised his head and pointed in the direction of Peng Yuxian and Qiu Pi, "For him, or for him?"

Geng Miaowan felt that he might have misunderstood something, but it was inconvenient for her to explain to him now, so she could only shake her head desperately. However, her denial did not improve Luan Hao's mood. He still took her hand with a gloomy expression and said, "Since it's not like that, then come with me."

"No, I'm not leaving!"

She tried to break free from his grasp, but he held her firmly. Seeing that he was about to activate the spell, she panicked and lowered her head to bite his wrist.

The sudden pain in his wrist made Luan Hao fling her away. Whether it was a coincidence or not, his fling caused Geng Miaowan, who was not far from Peng Yuxian and Qiu Pi, to dart several steps toward them, right into Peng Yuxian's attack range.

Peng Yuxian exerted force with his palm, about to slap her, but the instant his palm touched her, he changed his slap into a grab, pulling her into his arms. One hand wrapped around her waist, pressing her forcefully against himself, while the other hand reached around from behind and grabbed her neck, saying, "If you want her to die, then continue."

He was completely exhausted, and Geng Miaowan could feel most of his weight pressing down on her. She could clearly hear him gasping for breath.

"Wan'er!"

"Miao Wan!"

Luan Hao hadn't expected that his seemingly effortless toss would send her to Peng Yuxian. Xu Ruwen also stood up and rushed to Peng Yuxian. Qiu Pi's smile had completely vanished, and his eyes, glaring at Peng Yuxian, were bloodshot. "Peng Yuxian, let her go!"

"Hehe..." Peng Yuxian chuckled softly. He was practically on his deathbed, so what did he care about anything else? He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I didn't expect you to be so popular."

Geng Miaowan seemed not to hear his implied words, and said in a low voice, almost inaudible to herself, "I never thought you would be so foolish."

"What do you mean by that?" (To be continued.)
