It's unclear if the fluid from the white粥 was intentional or accidental, but it swiftly slid down Bai Lan's collar into her clothes.

"Uh..."

Confronted with this situation, Ye Qiu was taken aback. He hurriedly grabbed a wet tissue and offered, "Shall I wipe it for you?"

"Hmm..."

Bai Lan responded, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Ye Qiu carefully laid Bai Lan flat on the hospital bed, then gently wiped the white粥 residue from her skin with the wet tissue, ensuring not a trace was left.

During this process, Bai Lan's body trembled uncontrollably.

Was it excitement? Sensitivity? Or perhaps something else?

This wasn't the first time Ye Qiu had seen Bai Lan's body or touched her, but each time, there was a peculiar emotion in her response to his touch.

In an instant, Bai Lan's face was as red as a ripe apple.

Seeing Bai Lan's adorable appearance, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel tempted to take a bite or even engage in some adult activities.

However, the thought only lingered in his mind for a few seconds before he dismissed it.

He wasn't someone who would take advantage of others, especially when Bai Lan's physical condition couldn't withstand it right now!

Besides, the most crucial thing was that this was a hospital. What would happen if a doctor suddenly walked in while he and Bai Lan were having a moment? Ye Qiu certainly didn't want to become tomorrow's headline.

After finishing with wiping Bai Lan's body, Ye Qiu quickly helped her dress. Her body was far too alluring, and Ye Qiu dared not look too long, fearing he couldn't control the impulse within.

After feeding Bai Lan white粥, Ye Qiu comforted her to rest before leaving the hospital.

Although Bai Lan's condition was temporarily suppressed, it was just that—a suppression. Without an antidote, Bai Lan would suffer each day that passed, and Ye Qiu was not one to sit idly by; he had to avenge Blood Cross.

Considering Bai Lan's safety, he didn't leave recklessly either.

He planned to return to his rental apartment to make some preparations.

Just as Ye Qiu was about to reach his rental apartment, he suddenly accelerated towards it.

Upon reaching the apartment's door, Ye Qiu wasted no time and kicked it open.

Inside the room were several people rummaging through the apartment's belongings.

The sudden forceful entry left them all stunned, staring at Ye Qiu, clearly not expecting him to return at this moment.

"Damn! I wasn't looking for you, but you've come to find me?" Ye Qiu erupted in anger. These people were none other than Blood Cross members.

After a brief moment of astonishment, they quickly reacted, showing their fury:

"The Jade Buddha and Jade Qilin are what Blood Cross is determined to obtain. If they're not here, they must be with the Demon King!"

As this person finished speaking, the others all turned their attention to Ye Qiu.

Immediately, the Blood Cross members emanated a fierce fighting spirit.

Seeing their stance, Ye Qiu only laughed. He understood now; Blood Cross was impatient and desperate for the Jade Buddha and Jade Qilin. Having failed to coerce him, they resorted to breaking into Ye Qiu's rental apartment to steal.

Unfortunately for them, they didn't know the Jade Buddha and Jade Qilin weren't in the apartment, nor were they on Ye Qiu.

But Ye Qiu had no time to explain this to them.

If it weren't for them, Bai Lan wouldn't be in this state, so seeing the Blood Cross members ignited Ye Qiu's fury instantly.

"Since you've come, then all of you, die!"

Upon finishing his words, Ye Qiu moved like lightning, swiftly approaching one Blood Cross member, his powerful fist instantly striking out.

That Blood Cross member didn't dodge or evade, meeting Ye Qiu's fist head-on with his own.

"Boom!"

The impact of the punch sent force rippling out. After the dull noise, the Blood Cross member was immediately forced back by Ye Qiu.

But it was merely a retreat, not the severe injury or death Ye Qiu had imagined.

Seeing this, a hint of amusement flashed across Ye Qiu's face, "No wonder you dared to steal from my home, turns out you do have some skill."

"The Demon King is nothing special," the person immediately sneered.

After sneering, he promptly jumped out the window, followed by the other Blood Cross members doing the same.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Ye Qiu immediately pursued them.

Although it was the third floor, it was nothing considering the skills of Ye Qiu and the others.

"Thud, thud, thud."

The group safely landed on the ground without any hindrance.

However, their actions frightened the passing pedestrians.

"Someone jumped from the building!"

"Damn, it's the third floor, jumping down and not a scratch? Standing steady?"

"Is this a movie shoot?"

The crowd watched in astonishment at this group of Europeans and a Huaxia person.

"The space in the room was too small."

After landing, the Blood Cross member who had exchanged fists with Ye Qiu spoke.

No fear was seen in his eyes as he faced Ye Qiu—this was the confidence of a skilled fighter.

"Hand over the antidote!" Ye Qiu demanded, fixating on them.

"Hand over the Jade Buddha and Jade Qilin, then you'll get the antidote!" the person replied.

"I've said, the Jade Buddha and Jade Qilin have long vanished," Ye Qiu frowned.

"Heh!" the person chuckled, completely disbelieving Ye Qiu, "If that's the case, then let your girlfriend disappear with them!"

"Damn it, you're asking for death!"

Ye Qiu burst into rage, sliding forward, launching a killing move at them.

These Blood Cross members were top-tier experts, the cream of the crop. Although they didn't exhibit the usual fear of Ye Qiu like other Blood Cross members, they didn't underestimate him either, as Ye Qiu's Demon King fame was well-known.

With tense expressions, they faced Ye Qiu's furious assault, each of them on high alert.

"Kill!"

The battle erupted immediately!

As top-level experts within Blood Cross, their individual strength wasn't the only advantage; their coordination was seamless. Through mutual synergy, they nearly each exerted two hundred percent of their combat prowess.

In their encirclement, Ye Qiu felt some pressure, but just a bit; it posed no real threat to him!

"This seems like a form of martial arts array similar to that of Huaxia's Martial Arts Realm? Too bad, you can't harness its essence!"

Ye Qiu sneered contemptuously, his body lunging forward, fist following tightly in pursuit.
