Chapter 383: Chapter 0383: Turned to Ashes (Fourth Update)

Nangong Man Sha quickly adjusted her emotions, and she looked up at the darkening sky outside, where ominous clouds loomed, their vast presence seeming to engulf the entire Tang Family residence.

"What should we do now?" she asked.

Chu Ge had his hands in his pockets, and even though his brows were furrowed, there was not a hint of worry or timidity in his eyes.

"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine," Chu Ge turned back, glancing at her sideways.

Although they were amidst darkness, Chu Ge knew very well that Nangong Man Sha was also looking at him.

"What, are you scared?" He remembered that when he had first met her, she was accompanied and protected by two Ancient Martial Artists. Now, she had come to Su City alone. The once high and mighty socialite had to not only take care of herself but also selflessly help others in times of danger without regard for her status.

Today, Chu Ge seemed to have discovered another side of Nangong Man Sha, one that was kind and selfless.

Nangong Man Sha also noticed the burning intensity in Chu Ge’s eyes, but in such an environment, she didn’t think he would harbor any other thoughts towards her.

After all, she had tried to seduce him so many times to no avail.

"What are you thinking about?" Even though Nangong Man Sha knew he wasn’t interested in her, she still couldn’t resist teasing him to lighten the mood, "Mr. Chu, you’re staring at me so seriously, do you find me exceptionally beautiful today?"

Seeing her revert to her usual demeanor, the fleeting sense of goodwill that had just arisen in Chu Ge’s heart was instantly extinguished.

He cleared his throat, regaining his usual cold demeanor, "Miss Man Sha, I’m planning to go outside, but I need someone to help me."

Nangong Man Sha looked at him in shock, "You... want to go outside? But the air is filled with poison right now. Thankfully, the Tang Family’s residence is quite airtight, so we’re safe for the moment. But the toxin is increasing, and sooner or later, we will..."

So you still want to go outside? Isn’t that clearly seeking death?

Chu Ge knew what she was worried about; he raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’m just concerned that as I go out, some of the poison might get inside. That’s why I need someone quick to help me close the window."

He was using his True Qi to block the entry of the toxin, but once he was entirely outside, the rear guard of True Qi would lose some resistance, and a bit of the poison might drift inside.

With the current concentration of the poisonous gas, it was hard to ensure the people inside the villa would not be in danger.

Nangong Man Sha was still very worried. Although she was well aware of Chu Ge’s strength, this concern was still inexplicably there.

Once Chu Ge was ready, and after communicating with Nangong Man Sha, he positioned himself in front of the window.

Swiftly, Chu Ge’s figure just flickered in front of Nangong Man Sha’s eyes. She immediately closed the window. The entire process took no more than a second. Nangong Man Sha’s heart raced as she held her chest, staring intently outside.

However, the moment Chu Ge went out, his figure was engulfed by the poisonous fog.

"Mr. Chu will definitely be alright," Tang Xin reassured herself after arranging other matters, the first thing she saw upon entering the room was Chu Ge bounding outside.

Initially, she thought her eyes were deceiving her because his speed was too fast. Before she could stop him, Chu Ge had already leaped out.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Chu’s strength is not something that can be trapped by this mere poison fog."

Miss Man Sha said confidently, though her heart was still beating rapidly with nervousness. To be honest, she was worried too.

At this moment, a ringtone sounded inappropriately.

Nangong Man Sha and Tang Xin looked towards the source of the sound and saw an exquisite mobile phone lying quietly on the ground, its screen glowing with white light, displaying a name: Mu Bingtong.

Tang Xin, puzzled, picked it up and answered, "Hello?"

On the other end of the line, Mu Bingtong was taken aback. After confirming that she had not dialed the wrong number, her brows involuntarily furrowed, but her good manners still prompted her to ask in an even tone, "I’m looking for Chu Ge."

Only then did Tang Xin realize that the phone belonged to Chu Ge. It appeared that Chu Ge had accidentally dropped it when he jumped out of the window just now.

Tang Xin smiled slightly and explained, "Mr. Chu had to leave for a bit just now, and his phone was left here. I’ll let him know when he returns."

Mu Bingtong acknowledged with an "Oh" and thanked her before hanging up.

Not until she heard the short beeping sound from the receiver did Tang Xin slowly come back to her senses. She thought about the three words she had seen on the screen after Mu Bingtong’s name: Fiancée.

So, his fiancée’s name was Mu Bingtong. A pleasant voice, and a lovely name.

Tang Xin felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart. She didn’t understand why, but it was as if someone had overturned a bottle of mixed emotions inside her, causing unbearable distress.

Nangong Man Sha, unable to see Chu Ge from the window and noticing the lack of movement behind her, turned around puzzled, only to see Tang Xin standing there dazed.

Nangong Man Sha approached with some confusion and concern, asking, "Lady Tang Xin, what’s wrong?"

Tang Xin came to her senses and smiled apologetically, "It’s nothing, I was just lost in thought for a moment, sorry."

Nangong Man Sha nodded and then asked, "Whose phone is this?"

"It’s Mr. Chu’s." Tang Xin looked down, suddenly regretting having answered the call.

If she hadn’t answered that call, she definitely wouldn’t be feeling so bitter right now!

Hearing that it was Chu Ge’s phone, Nangong Man Sha’s eyes lit up, wanting to take a look, but she realized that it was quite embarrassing given her status. With what identity could she just take and look through someone else’s phone? It was improper.

Nangong Man Sha smiled and said nothing more.

Meanwhile, Chu Ge had held his breath and quickly breached the barrier of the toxic gas after leaping from the window, jumping into mid-air.

Looking down at the scene below, he squinted his eyes slightly. As he had expected, if this poison mist were to spread over Su City, the entire city would become a lower Hell.

To neutralize this poison, one had to make good use of the abundant Spiritual Energy in Su City, coupled with the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning Array, it could be completely neutralized.

However, to set up the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning Array, sufficient materials were necessary.

According to the timeline, Shen Wei Qian should be almost ready by now.

Chu Ge looked in the direction of the Ghost Poison Sect Master, then turned and jumped to a safe area.

At this moment, the Ghost Poison Sect Master was still lost in his own fantasies, desiring to turn this land of outstanding talents and spiritual energy into scorched earth.

The gaze of the Ghost Poison Sect Master flickered, suddenly spotting a black object flashing past quickly. But by the time he wanted to get a clear view, it had already disappeared.
