On the contrary, with increasingly rich material conditions, people’s courage and desire for adventure will greatly decrease, and they will try to avoid risks as much as possible.

This is the way of the Tao.

Can the life of a Daluo Golden Immortal be equated with that of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals?

"What’s the success possibility of breaking through?"

Faced with Jiang Chen’s steady inquiry, Fujiwara Reiki thought for a moment, and then seriously replied, "If we don’t bring along the two of us as burdens, the possibility of breaking through is seventy percent. If you want to protect us two, then..."

"Jiang Sang should understand that protecting people is much more difficult than killing people."

Hmm.

Very objective.

Just like most international assassins are retired special forces soldiers.

Being an assassin is easier than being a soldier.

Hurting someone is simpler than warming someone.

Of course Jiang Chen understands the reasoning, but the other party has a severely mistaken perception.

"I am not a burden."

He decisively made the correction and reminder.

Fujiwara Reiki was slightly stunned, then smiled charmingly, and immediately admitted her mistake.

"Sorry, I underestimated Jiang Sang."

She also solemnly bowed ninety degrees to Jiang Chen, "I’m sorry~"

A femme fatale, no doubt.

Being with this Demoness really could cost you your life, not just in bed, but in other places too.

Look, the blade is almost at your neck, and you’re still playing with emotions here.

"Let’s go!"

Jiang Chen grabbed her wrist, no longer wasting time.

"Jiang Sang, it’s over there!"

Fujiwara Reiki hurriedly said.

Jiang Chen certainly knew where the door was, he was not a burden; he could be considered combat-capable, but this stunning creature he was dragging along was undeniably a real hindrance.

Definitely not because of personal feelings.

Her identity is too special; if she gets injured, loses a limb, or has her face destroyed, the impact is unimaginable.

So he couldn’t take risks.

"Shut up!"

Jiang Chen decided, trying to find a way to climb out, leaving the four Great Kings and Sakura behind.

Just hope they can hold on.

"Jiang Sang, you’re so MAN."

Fujiwara Reiki, yelled at, not only did not get angry, but instead showed a delicate look, her eyes sparkling, making Jiang Chen almost unable to resist the urge to strangle her.

And at such a time?

Others are giving their lives to buy time.

And you’re still flirting!

He tightened his grip on the wrist, soft as boneless, nearly dragging her out of the room through another door, looking for a "emergency exit."

Fujiwara Reiki followed closely, unable to resist, her cheeks glowing, her gaze tender like water.

Alright.

Even more MAN.

As a rule, this kind of historically inherited old mansion should have a back door, but this house doesn’t.

It’s unknown if it violated construction plans, being demolished by the urban management.

With no back door and no tunnel, the only hope is above.

Pulling Fujiwara Reiki in circles in the inner courtyard, Jiang Chen stopped, raised his head, and gazed at the roughly three-meter-high courtyard wall.

The only fortunate thing is, there are no high-voltage wires on the wall, nor any anti-theft fencing.

"Jiang Sang doesn’t want to..."

Fujiwara Reiki realized his intention, immediately shook her head, "It’s too high, Li Ji can’t climb up—"

"I’ll push you."

Jiang Chen interrupted, walked to the wall, squatted down, maintained a half-squat posture, hands crossed, palms up, placed at his abdomen.

"Go up!"

Although he couldn’t see the situation of the fight in the front courtyard, it must be extremely tragic.

Time is life.

"What about you?"

Fujiwara Reiki didn’t move.

Clearly intending to play the role of a stepping stone, Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, "I’ll figure something out myself, you go up first."

Fujiwara Reiki was in a daze.

That’s right.

At the critical moment when every second counts, she actually got lost in thoughts.

Can’t blame her.

Women have emotional genes.

Jiang Chen is clearly giving her the hope of survival, faced with such a situation, what woman would not feel greatly moved?

Adversity reveals true emotions.

Never mind what a person says, watch what they do.

Moreover.

Fujiwara Reiki grew up in what kind of environment?

The so-called Death Warriors are only the result of long-term brainwashing, originating from loyalty to the glory of the Fujiwara Family.

And now a man appears, purely for her...

Fujiwara Reiki’s vision gradually blurred, and she was even in a daze.

"What are you standing there for?"

Jiang Chen naturally couldn’t guess the other’s mental activity. He’s certainly not acting, Fujiwara Reiki is not a target to seduce.

Can’t let Fujiwara Reiki be a stepping stone for him?

You could say Boss Jiang still has some moral burden.

As a man’s bottom line, he wouldn’t do such an unscrupulous thing.

"Do you really want to be raped and killed, then raped and killed again?"

It’s not a threat.

If Fujiwara Reiki fell into the enemy’s hands, death would certainly be a luxury.

A woman like her, killing her directly would be a waste.

"No!"

Fujiwara Reiki snapped back, pupils constricting, resolutely saying without hesitation: "If Jiang Sang isn’t leaving, I’m not leaving either!"

Boss Jiang should be proud.

For a woman like this to say such words means she’s willing to share life and death; if there was a favorability bar, the mission might already be complete.

"Who said I’m not leaving!"

Jiang Chen certainly didn’t have the mind to be proud; he might not even be aware, in this situation, he’d rather she be a bit selfish.

Considering this demoness’s growth experience, shouldn’t she prefer betraying the world over being betrayed by the world?

"You go up first, then pull me up."

"Oh!"

Alright.

Misunderstood.

No need for the muddled sentiment, Fujiwara Reiki naturally isn’t the type to drag things out. Realizing that both could escape together, she stopped hesitating and even knew how to take a running start.

Luckily today she’s wearing pants, not a long skirt.

After the running start, she precisely stepped on Jiang Chen’s palm. Jiang Chen quickly stood up, lifting her upward.

Fujiwara Reiki seemed weak and delicate, but turned out to be much more agile than most women. With perfect coordination, her hands successfully grasped the wall edge, and stepping on Jiang Chen’s shoulder, she actually climbed up.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, the worst scenario didn’t happen. Despite being pampered, she differed from those fairies who’d trip while running.

Actually, Jiang Chen lied; he didn’t expect her to be able to pull him up. Such a high wall, a woman pulling up a healthy adult male was nearly impossible, except athletes; she’d likely be pulled down instead.

Still, words were like that.

Whether she can pull him up is one thing, at least she should try, right?

But after Fujiwara Reiki climbed up the wall, she showed no sign of reaching out.

Burned the bridge after crossing the river, revealed true colors?

Jiang Chen looked up, couldn’t help but smile.

No grievance.

This matches her setting and the image in his mind.

Can’t run, it’s okay.

He had considered going back and fighting alongside the Four Great Kings; without a burden, their chance of breaking through increases greatly.

So he didn’t resent her; instead, he waved his hand, "Go!"

What counts as a real man?

A man should be like this!

"Jiang Sang..."

After using Jiang to climb the wall, Fujiwara Reiki didn’t eagerly flee, sat on the wall, in a daze looking at the free world outside, then inexplicably turned back. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Jiang Chen looked up, puzzled.

"Someone’s coming again!"

Jiang Chen paused, then heard the sound of "whoosh whoosh," hooks being thrown over the wall, catching onto the wall.

Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly, quickly reaching out, "Get down!"

Fujiwara Reiki bent down.

Their hands tightly clasped together in midair.

Jiang Chen pulled hard.

Like partners in a circus act, Fujiwara Reiki gave her complete trust; Jiang Chen supported her butt, rotated to reduce the force, and after sending her up the wall, successfully caught her back down.

"Bang."

Fujiwara Reiki landed safely.

And at that moment, a hook flew right where she was sitting, if slower by a few seconds, her skin would have been split open.

Misunderstood.

Wrongly blamed.

It wasn’t burning the bridge after crossing, breaking a donkey after grinding mill, but Fujiwara Reiki, observing from above, found more enemies coming outside.

This road doesn’t work!

"Go!"

Though the outside scene wasn’t visible, the numerous hooks flying over made Jiang Chen aware of the seriousness of the situation. He hastily grabbed Fujiwara Reiki and decisively retreated the way they came.

At this moment, the Four Great Kings had retreated to the central courtyard, covered in blood, getting a moment to breathe under Sakura’s cover.

The foreigners outside seemed in no rush to break in, likely resting as well.

The smell of blood grew thicker.

"Mr. Jiang, why are you..."

Hearing the commotion behind, along with the enemy’s lockdown, the Four Great Kings and Sakura turned back, perplexed to see Jiang Chen and Fujiwara Reiki return.

"Ghosts outside too."

Fujiwara Reiki said in difficulty, sprinting back and forth and experiencing high-intensity wall climbing without a change of expression, breathing steadily.
