"Ah, Nuonuo, it's so wonderful that you're back, boohoo!" Upon seeing Yun Hao return with the car, Romance immediately rushed over. When Nuonuo got out of the car, she picked her up and burst into tears, crying heartbreakingly!

"Mom, don't cry anymore. Superman Uncle brought me back!" Nuonuo said in a charming and tender voice while reaching out her small hand to wipe away Romance's tears.

"Alright, alright, mommy won't cry!" After a short period of excitement, Romance stood up and looked at Yun Hao with solemn eyes, then bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Yun, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, Nuonuo might not have come back. I will definitely repay you well!"

"What's all this talk about thanks? Nuonuo is so adorable; it was just a small favor. I reckon a lot of people will come to find you soon!" Yun Hao casually waved his hand without thinking much about gratitude and then walked past the mother and daughter into the room.

Even though this was just a small favor for Yun Hao, to Romance, it was incredibly precious. Ever since her husband disappeared, only her daughter accompanied her in life. In a sense, her daughter is her whole world, her motivation to keep living!

So, after exchanging a few words with Chu Yan, Romance returned to the villa. She needed to think about how to repay Yun Hao and also properly inquire about those people behind her to see if they truly intended to protect her and her daughter!

"Hey, how did you manage to save Nuonuo? What happened?" Chu Yan and Su Qiao went over to sit next to Yun Hao and found him lounging with crossed legs, crazily eating potato chips as if he hadn't eaten in a long time!

"Oh, I don't really know what happened. When I chased with the car, I saw two groups fighting there. No one paid me any mind, so I took Nuonuo to your car and drove back!" Yun Hao said unconcernedly to Chu Yan while watching TV.

"That's it?" Chu Yan felt it was quite unreal after hearing Yun Hao, so she kicked him, making him sit properly, then she and Su Qiao started interrogating him vigorously!

But Yun Hao was so unfazed; faced with these two young ladies, he handled it with ease. Back then, due to his antics, he was interrogated for twenty-four hours straight by Liu Mengqi, that she-devil, and he persisted, let alone facing these two now!

Thus, after Chu Yan and Su Qiao interrogated Yun Hao for an hour, they left fruitlessly. However, when they saw Yun Hao's irritating expression, they still couldn't believe he was telling the truth. Besides, what luck it is to go there and directly bring Nuonuo back?

"Alright, alright, alright, this feels like interrogating a criminal. I'll take Xiao Qiao home first!" Yun Hao stood up, held Su Qiao's hand, and headed out.

"Go inside, and be sure to sleep well!" Upon arriving at Su Qiao's room door, Yun Hao patted her head with a smile.

"Okay, I know, I'm all grown up, yet you're still patting my head!" Su Qiao pouted, pretending to be dissatisfied, though she secretly enjoyed the affection.

After seeing Su Qiao close the door, Yun Hao returned to the villa, where Chu Yan had already rested. He didn't go to Chu Yan's room but went to his own, removing his shirt to see the bruises on his chest!

"Damn it, Cyan Dragon, that pretty boy's got some skills!"

Indeed, during the fight with Cyan Dragon, Yun Hao sustained these injuries. Although Cyan Dragon was more seriously hurt than him, he didn't appear as invincible as it seemed and suffered minor injuries too!

Suddenly, Yun Hao furrowed his brows, his face twisted with a menacing expression, his chest convulsing as if something within was trying to break out of his body's restraints!

"Thud!"

Amidst intense pain, Yun Hao kneeled on the ground, then collapsed completely, rolling around, sweat beads streaming down like rain from his forehead, cascading down his body!

If outsiders saw him now, they'd be utterly shocked because Yun Hao looks terrifying, his veins bulging, something crawling under his skin, with his entire skin blood-red, seemingly ready to ooze blood at a touch!

"Roar!"

A hoarse sound emanated from Yun Hao's throat, akin to a beast's growl before it devours, deep and entirely unlike the usual Yun Hao!

After about an hour, Yun Hao, who had been rolling on the ground, finally halted, followed by heavy panting.

"Damn, this pain keeps getting worse, it's trying to kill me!" Yun Hao managed to stand, muttering softly to himself, then walked into the bathroom, letting hot water wash over his solid muscles!

By now, Yun Hao was used to this kind of pain. Since he was fifteen, it happened sporadically, and for seven years now. Over time, through each bout of pain, Yun Hao and Liu Mengqi discovered a pattern; it always occurs an hour after intense combat!

Though they've tried many methods and sought treasures over the years, none proved effective. However, this pain also brought benefits: Yun Hao found that after each painful bout, his body felt more powerful!

Thus, Yun Hao had a love-hate relationship with this pain. Naturally, he hated it because it's unbearable; even a bullet wouldn't make him scream, yet this pain couldn't be endured; it's a deep-seated agony originating from the heart, spreading throughout the body. Only those who've experienced it could understand its terror!

Yet Yun Hao loved this torment because, after each session, he felt significantly stronger—a great advantage for someone like him dancing daily on the knife's edge, becoming stronger is undeniably favorable!

Gradually, Yun Hao cared less about finding a solution, though today's pain was exceptionally intense. Previously, it lasted ten minutes, but this time it persisted for an hour!
