The Triangular-Eyed Man rubbed his aching face and looked up to see a small figure standing not far ahead.
Though she was tiny, her aura was so intimidating that it made his heart race.
Was it her who had just knocked him flying?
Damn it!
She had ambushed him!
Gritting his teeth against the pain, he struggled to his feet.
"Let me tell you, don't meddle in other people's business. Do you know who we are?"
His face suddenly darkened, contorting with anger.
"Who you are doesn't concern us," Nie Yizhou scoffed.
"Those two are people we're after. You'd better stay out of it, or the Base Commander won't let you off easy!"
"Oh~ is that so? Just my luck, I don't plan to... let him off either," Yun Xiaoxiao said with a leisurely smile.
As soon as the words left her mouth, her eyes turned icy.
Without giving the enemy any time to react, she charged forward.
Every move was aimed at taking their lives.
Nie Yizhou and Xiao Feng clenched their fists, ready for a big fight.
Sun Xiaoming and Wei Qian, who had been simmering with anger, now saw Yun Xiaoxiao and the others standing up for them. Their pent-up rage exploded, and despite their injuries, they immediately rushed forward, attacking anyone in sight.
However, they soon realized they had little to do.
Because Yun Xiaoxiao and the others were simply too strong!
In less than ten minutes, the Triangular-Eyed Man and his group were all dead.
The base's front gate was littered with bodies.
In that moment, they finally realized just how powerful the base they had joined truly was.
A strong sense of belonging washed over them.
"Find a truck to drag these bodies out and dump them. Don't dump them too close; it'll pollute the environment," Yun Xiaoxiao said, glancing indifferently at the bodies.
Nie Yizhou chuckled. "Don't worry, leave it to us."
He patted Xiao Feng's chest. "Come on, let's go."
Xiao Feng nodded. "Alright."
"Little one, when are we moving out?" Ling Jing asked, looking at Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao knew he was referring to the previous base where Ci Wan had been.
She nonchalantly raised an eyebrow.
"Let's wait until Sister Ci Wan wakes up."
Earlier, she hadn't planned to avenge Ci Wan.
After all, at the time, Ci Wan was just a stranger she had met once or twice. It wasn't worth picking a fight with an entire base over her.
But things were different now.
Ci Wan and her group were now part of Yun City.
Which meant they were her people.
Her people shouldn't be bullied by others.
And for the enemy to dare come to her base's doorstep and provoke them? That was clearly not putting them in their place.
They were nothing but clowns, and she might as well help clean up some trash in this world.
Call it doing a good deed.
As for why she wasn't leaving immediately...
It was because she wanted to wait for Ci Wan to wake up.
She believed Ci Wan would want to avenge herself.
And she would give her that chance to take revenge with her own hands!
With the matter at the gate resolved, Yun Xiaoxiao and the others went back to rest.
After a long journey, they were tired.
"Hey, did you hear? Little Xue gave birth, and it's a boy," Nie Yizhou said excitedly as he returned from outside during dinner, sharing the latest gossip.
"Liu Yi is all smiles these days, over the moon with joy.
He bought a lot of candy and hands it out to everyone he meets.
Tsk tsk, being a dad sure changes a man."
Nie Yizhou waved the candy he had just received, showing it off.
Just as he was about to unwrap it and eat it, a black shadow suddenly darted out, stepping on his shoulder and leaping down, snatching the candy from his hand.
He stared at his empty palm, then at the little creature sneaking to Yun Xiaoxiao's feet, peeling the candy wrapper. His frustration boiled over.
"Hey, kid, can't you control your evil scorpion? It stole my candy!"
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at him indifferently, then shrugged.
"Go take it back yourself."
Meaning, whether you get it back or not is up to you; I'm not getting involved.
Nie Yizhou: .......
He glared at the little creature, which was already licking the candy and even glanced at him disdainfully. His expression was full of resentment.
What was the point of taking it back? To eat the scorpion's saliva?
He didn't want to get poisoned!
After dinner, Yun Xiaoxiao, with nothing better to do, grabbed two packs of diapers and two cans of formula and headed to Liu Yi's place.
The height of the diapers almost reached her own.
She dragged one in each hand, looking a bit comical.
Taking the elevator, she arrived at Liu Yi's door.
The door was open, and the place was lively.
Before she even got close, she could hear the sound of a baby crying and the chatter of people inside.
She walked in to see Tan Changbin and Lei Chunyan's family there.
Grandma Niu and Qin Zhi were also present.
"Xiaoxiao's here!"
As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao appeared, Qin Zhi noticed her.
Thanks to the treatment from Ye Shuyuan and Zhong Mingsheng, Qin Zhi's condition had been mostly controlled.
Now, as long as she took her medicine on time, she wouldn't experience the previous episodes of confusion and mistaking people.
Although she no longer saw Yun Xiaoxiao as her own child, she felt exceptionally warm and affectionate toward her.
She also loved her job at the hospital cafeteria.
She said that every time she cooked and saw everyone eating, she felt a sense of happiness and fulfillment.
At the sound, the others also turned to the door.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao, everyone's faces lit up with smiles.
Xue Huaixue, who was holding the baby and trying to soothe him, immediately waved at Yun Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, you're back just in time. We were just discussing having you name the baby."
"Me?"
Yun Xiaoxiao pointed at herself, puzzled.
Wasn't that a bit off? She was only five years old. Did they really want her to name the baby?
What if she came up with something bizarre?
"Yes, if it weren't for you taking us in, he wouldn't have been born safely. It's only right for you to name him," Xue Huaixue said with a gentle smile.
She held the baby forward a little. "Want to hold him?"
Yun Xiaoxiao's lips twitched.
Were these parents a bit too trusting?
Didn't they fear she'd drop the baby?
Seeing Xue Huaixue's expectant eyes, she felt a bit reluctant to refuse, so she walked over.
The baby, wrapped in a blanket, had a face that wasn't wrinkled at all. His skin was fair with a rosy tint, and his eyes were big and adorable.
Strangely, as soon as Yun Xiaoxiao approached, the previously crying baby suddenly stopped.
He stared straight at Yun Xiaoxiao and even giggled, "Giggling."
Xue Huaixue's eyes widened in surprise.
Then she chuckled. "Look how much he likes you.
We tried everything to calm him down before.
But now, not only does he stop crying instantly, he's even smiling at you."
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at the soft, squishy baby grinning at her and found it quite amazing.
