Su Chen looked at the almost-dying woman in his arms.

Just minutes ago they were kissing passionately, and now all of a sudden, she was on the verge of death.

He felt a sheer sense of helplessness.

Su Chen's mind finally surged with panic.

"Lou Rouer, open your eyes, damn!"

It was only at this point he realised, that no matter how cold he became as a villain, there was still a tinge of warm feelings in the corner of his heart, perhaps, this is why he was still a human instead of a demon.

He thought he wouldn't let the girls affect him emotionally, but the interaction, the special time spent together, How could it all be worth nothing?

This is the cruellest thing about being a human, the more time they spend with someone the more they care for that person.

Likewise Mei Qing and others, our fierce policewoman Lou Rouer pried open her way into Su Chen's heart.

Looking at Lou Rouer's breath getting weaker and weaker, Su Chen gritted his teeth and called out to the system in his mind.

'System, hurry and find a way to save her!'

[Host, she was wounded by someone who came from outside the novel world, the system level is not enough to deal with such a high-level injury.]

There was a bit of helplessness in the system's voice.

'Is there nothing that can be done?'

Su Chen roared in his mind.

[There is a way, but first please take her to a secluded corner. Already many people are watching this show, so it's better for fewer people to witness what is about to happen next.]

Su Chen immediately nodded and carried Lou Rouer's body in a princess hug to a remote alley.

He understood the system's intention, Zhu Qing, Wanger and his security guards might be too taken aback by sudden events and further stimulus would only make the situation only more complicated.

With no spectator around, the system hurriedly spoke.

[Host, I can't save her body, but I can save her soul!]

Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't comprehend what the system meant.

'Please elaborate!'

[The damage to her body is too high, with our current strength and resources at our disposal, she can't be saved. But I have a secret way, using it, I can let her soul sleep in the system's space till we find a suitable solution in the near future.]

[At least, by doing so, we will have a glimmer of hope for her survival. Otherwise, we may completely lose her.]

[Please make a decision fast, the time is slipping.]

Su Chen thought about the pros and cons. Yes, the system was right, something is always better than nothing.

"Okay, do it!"

Su Chen agreed affirmatively.

Just when he finished speaking, the system started its magic.

Lou Rouer's body was covered in a shimmering golden light.

Within a few seconds, a transparent soul-like body emerged from Lou Rouer's body and merged into Su Chen.

Su Chen felt a shiver, which lasted for a minute.

Eventually, everything calmed down.

[It's done, Lou Rouer's soul is stored in the system's space.]

"Now that we have solved this, can you answer my question?"

"What do you mean by an outsider, someone not belonging to the novel world?"

"Ma Yinger and her maid said the same thing like we are trapped in this small world which was only made on a whim?"

"And what if someone strong like her appears and kills someone close to me? What am I supposed to do then?"

Su Chen asked his genuine thoughts.

The system was silent for a second before finally answering.

[Things are much more complex than what is seen by the naked eye. As long as the host manages to upgrade the system to the next level, the host's questions will be answered.]

[Also, there is no need to fear. There was a breach in this world's boundary, due to which Ma Jinni suddenly appeared. But, now since this breach is repaired no outsider should appear for quite some time.]

Hearing system reassurance, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The system was right, as long as he becomes strong, things will automatically become clear.

Knowing complicated things in advance when you have no means to tackle them, will only burden your mind more.

Giving a deep sigh, he took Lou Rouer's body back to his convoy.

"Is she dead?"

Zhu Qing looked at the lifeless body of Lou Rouer in Su Chen's arms.

Her face was filled with countless questions, but she knew it was not her place to ask.

"Will that strong woman named Ma Jinni appear again?"

Zhu Qing still asked about her concerns.

"She shouldn't appear again for the timing, let's go!"

Su Chen handed Lou Rouer's body, which was filled with blood to his henchman Wanger.

"Take her back and bury her properly beside my villa."

Su Chen took a deep breath before handing over the corpse to Wanger.

Wanger nodded obediently and took some security guards, leaving with the corpse.

He knew the young master never spoke in such a heavy tone.

Realising Su Chen's mind might be in a mess, he could only nod his head in dismay.

Su Chen, after making sufficient preparations, once again sat in her luxurious car.

"Feeling sad?"

seeing him a little absent-minded, Zhu Qing sitting beside him, knocked her leg on his.

"Even if I am, will you comfort me?"

Su Chen turned his face and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

It was not like that Lou Rouer was permanently dead, her soul was waiting to be resurrected in the system's space.

Hearing such a straightforward reply, Zhu Qing didn't know what to answer for a moment.

After some hesitation, she moved her body close to him before grabbing his hands.

The grip was light at first, but soon tightened over time.

"That woman was too strong, it's nothing we could have done. Don't blame yourself!"

"Lou Rouer wanted to come along to help you complete what you wanted to do in the capital."

Taking shallow breaths, Zhu Qing kept whispering,

"Don't disappoint her soul, maybe from heaven she is still watching how you complete your task."

Su Chen looked at her with a pair of the same staring eyes.

Zhu Qing couldn't help but laugh in ridicule,

"Isn't this how those girls show care?"

Thinking Su Chen felt annoyed, she could only lament and pull her hand away.

But, when she was about to do so, she realised Su Chen turned his head to the other side and instead increased the grip on her hand.

'What a sly narcissist!'

The corner of her lips arched in a slight smile as she closed her eyes enjoying the remaining ride.
