154: Chapter 154 is finished! Luo Li has fallen for it!

Bang—

After running for an unknown number of miles, Qin Ge forcibly suppressed the savage urge for his arm to regrow at the stump, maintaining its wretched severed appearance. Finally, he collapsed heavily in front of Ruan Xingrou's studio apartment.

"Qin Ge?!"

Luo Li hurried to help the fallen Qin Ge up, cradling him in her arms. Looking at his deathly pale face, she gritted her teeth in grief and indignation. "I was the one who owed you a favor; why did you still have to save me?!"

If her skills were inferior, then death would be death.

Why did Qin Ge have to save her life and suffer such a heavy injury?

How could she ever let this go!?

"Qin Ge!"

"How did this happen?"

"Where is Qin Ge's hand?"

"Where is his hand?!"

Qin Huanhuan and the other three girls arrived one after another. They cried out in horror as they saw Qin Ge, missing an arm, collapsed in their Second Senior Sister's arms with his face pressed against her chest.

"Second Senior Sister, where is Qin Ge's hand? How could his arm be severed!?" Qin Huanhuan glared at Luo Li, her voice trembling with rage.

Luo Li lowered her head, remaining silent, her eyes flickering violently.

"Brother Qin!" Su Yaoyao threw herself onto Qin Ge, wanting to pull the heavily injured man into her own embrace.

However, Luo Li's face turned cold, and she raised a hand to push her away, causing Su Yaoyao to fall back onto her buttocks.

Shangguan Yuer clenched her small fists, saying in disbelief, "Why did this happen?!"

"How could Qin Ge lose an arm? He's so strong, how could he lose!?"

Luo Li bit her lip, her gaze moved as she murmured, "When Qin Ge suppressed Duke Dracula earlier, he used a secret technique. Now he's suffering from the backlash, and not even ten percent of his strength remains!"

"If only I hadn't overestimated myself!"

"If it weren't to save me, he wouldn't have been so heavily injured!"

Qin Ge, lying in Luo Li's full embrace with his eyes squinted into slits, caught the faint scent of her body. At this moment, he really wanted to give her a thumbs up.

That's it!

The excuses were becoming more and more complete.

The cause and effect had somehow, miraculously, aligned perfectly.

Even if he wanted to argue, he wouldn't know where to start.

Phew—

Qin Ge exhaled a long breath of clear Qi.

He turned in Luo Li's arms, looking at Qin Huanhuan and the other three girls with a dazed expression. He rolled his eyes in annoyance and said 'weakly,' "What's all the fuss about? It's just an arm. I can just grow another one!"

If he hadn't been suppressing it with all his might, a brand new arm would have f*cking grown out already.

Actually, if the opportunity hadn't been so rare...

Even if Ye Yan were given another two thousand points of constitution, he could stand there and pull all he wanted, but he still wouldn't be able to pull his arm off!

Just then, the sound of high heels clicking rapidly approached from nearby.

Qiao Yingzi, with her pair of exquisite long legs, arrived with a look of fury. Seeing Qin Ge's severed arm, she turned pale with shock. "President Qin!"

She hurriedly stepped forward, trying to take Qin Ge from Luo Li's arms. Seeing that Luo Li refused to let go, Qiao Yingzi followed the Morse code that President Qin had tapped out from somewhere soft and said, "Luo Li, what do you mean by this? Let go of President Qin already!"

Luo Li opened her mouth, looking at this bodyguard who always followed Qin Ge, not knowing how to respond.

"Luo Li, what else do you want? Since you arrived in Yunhai City, you've been an enemy to my President Qin. You wanted nothing more than to tear him into ten thousand pieces. Now that President Qin is heavily injured because of you, are you happy? Are you satisfied?"

"Let go! Do you want President Qin to bleed to death!?"

Luo Li's arms trembled and lost their strength, allowing Qiao Yingzi to help Qin Ge up from her embrace.

Su Yaoyao stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you to take Qin Ge to the hospital."

Qiao Yingzi turned her head and said coldly, "No need for you. The Dragon King is from the Dragon Group, and so are you! I don't want to see you right now!"

Su Yaoyao was left speechless by the retort.

"Wait, Qiao Yingzi, we mean well. Aren't you being a bit too cold?" Ruan Xingrou tried to speak up for her Senior Sisters.

Luo Li, however, scolded with a chilling gaze, "Xingrou, say no more!"

Qin Huanhuan walked to Qin Ge's side and looked at Qiao Yingzi. "I'll go with you."

"No need!" Qiao Yingzi pushed Qin Huanhuan away and scolded coldly and heartlessly, "President Qin used to be bullied by the three of you—mother and daughters—back in the Qin Family. Now that he finally escaped the Qin Family's control, he's suffered such a heavy injury because of your martial sisters, Qin Huanhuan."

"You, Qin Huanhuan, are to blame!"

Qin Ge used his remaining hand to cover Qiao Yingzi's mouth, rolling his eyes. "Enough, stop talking!"

On the way away from the battlefield with Luo Li, he had indeed tapped out a segment of Morse code against Luo Li's perfect curves, asking Qiao Yingzi to help criticize them. He wanted to spark Luo Li's guilt so she couldn't just part ways and wash her hands of him.

But Qiao Yingzi's improvisation was simply too high-quality.

This acting.

She definitely deserved an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress!

"My Yingzi just has this kind of temper; she's like a powder keg, she explodes at the slightest touch. Don't take it to heart." Qin Ge smiled awkwardly at Luo Li and the girls. "Don't worry about the severed arm either. It'll be fine after resting for a while. I have a way to grow a new one!"

After saying that, he spoke no more and let Qiao Yingzi support him as they left.

At the same time, the sounds of rewards arriving kept ringing in his mind:

"Ding! The Daughter of Destiny Qin Huanhuan feels guilt toward the Host. Reward: +3000 villain points!"

"Ding! The Daughter of Destiny Ruan Xingrou feels heartache looking at the Host's back. Reward: +4000 villain points!"

"Ding! The Daughter of Destiny Shangguan Yuer feels self-reproach toward the Host. Reward: +5000 villain points!"

"Ding! The Daughter of Destiny Su Yaoyao feels heartache for the Host. Reward: +6000 villain points!"

"Ding! Luo Li, Daughter of Fortune, feels guilt, heartache, self-reproach, and pity toward the Host. Reward: +10000 villain points!"

...

In the car on the way back, Qiao Yingzi gripped the steering wheel with both hands, feeling more and more indignant the more she thought about it.

Why?

Why would President Qin go to such lengths for Luo Li and those girls?

With President Qin's looks, family background, and charm...

What kind of beauty in this world couldn't he have in his arms?

Even the Feller Family's daughter, Emilia, crossed the ocean to see him because of President Qin!

Why did President Qin have to be so stubborn and waste his efforts on those Personal Disciples of the Bright Moon Sect?

He even lost an arm!

Qiao Yingzi turned her head, feeling it wasn't worth it for Qin Ge. "President Qin, although there is technology to grow a severed limb and reattach it for you, that arm is grown after all. It will ultimately have some slight differences from your original one."

Qin Ge moved the arm that had naturally grown back from the stump under the dual effects of the Indestructible Nirvana Body and the Divine Ability 'Limb Regeneration'. It was no different from before.

It was as white as jade, with clear and well-defined muscle lines.

He looked up, shook his arm, and looked at the stunned Qiao Yingzi, asking curiously, "What did you just say?"
