[Using [Group Sleep Card *1]! Targeting all enemy units!]
[[Group Sleep Card *1] used successfully! Taking effect...]
To ensure safety, Mu An took a small measure first.
Of course.
Even without using this item, he was fully confident he could take down all the kidnappers inside.
After all, once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, ordinary people are no different from ants in his eyes.
They pose no threat at all.
"Interesting, I unexpectedly have a bonus!"
"But this guy is indeed reasonable here; otherwise, what would he be called the protagonist for!"
Mu An rubbed his chin, muttering to himself.
He used his grandmaster-level spiritual power to sweep through the abandoned factory without missing a spot.
Not only did he find the expected kidnappers and hostages, but he also discovered an unexpected character among the hostages.
That was the young Long Haotian!
"Can I just take out Long Haotian at this time?"
A thought suddenly popped into Mu An's mind.
[System: In response to the host, no! The protagonist is a child of destiny protected by the heavenly path! Before the fortune is exhausted, he will not easily die!]
[And if you forcibly disrupt the current causal line, it will burden the host with an equal amount of chaotic causality, leading the future to an unpredictable direction!]
[For example, some female leads that should have appeared disappear, and some disasters that shouldn't exist appear, etc.!]
The consequences are that serious?
Mu An frowned, secretly lamenting the missed opportunity.
But since he couldn't take the other party down, he could still collect some interest, right?
[System: Appropriate! Reasonable!]
After receiving a positive answer, Mu An squinted his eyes, already having some ideas in mind.
"Let's go!"
Mu An called out to Gong Nanyan and walked straight toward the door of the abandoned factory.
"Wait... wait for me!"
The girl hurriedly followed.
At the same time, she didn't forget to nervously look around, giving off a sense of impending danger.
Like a lunatic just released from a mental hospital.
[Nervous emotion fluctuation from Gong Nanyan +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +25]!]
"What are you doing?"
Mu An was a bit curious.
"Shh! Lower your voice! Be careful not to alert those kidnappers!"
"And I'm staying vigilant! To prevent those guys from sneaking up on us from who knows where!"
Gong Nanyan's small face was serious and earnest, her voice kept very low.
"Where did you learn all these strange things?"
Mu An chuckled lightly and reached out to pat the girl's head.
"Isn't that how it goes in the movies?"
Gong Nanyan blinked her eyes and said confidently.
"..."
Mu An was somewhat defeated by her innocence and could only say with certainty,
"Don't worry, they won't come out to attack us!"
"Why?"
"Because I'm here!"
"..."
"Besides, how could those vicious criminals be so idle as to specifically set up an ambush for just the two of us? Instead of wasting time and effort on an ambush, wouldn't it be more efficient to just confront us directly with guns?!"
"What you said makes a bit of sense... but we still need to be careful! A cautious approach lasts a thousand years!"
The girl was somewhat persuaded.
But she still insisted on maintaining what she thought was vigilance.
Every little sound around her made her extremely nervous!
Seeing that she wasn't very receptive to his advice, Mu An shrugged and let her be.
He could understand this mindset.
If one's own strength was strong enough, there wouldn't be such worries!
So, there's a saying:
All fear comes from insufficient firepower!
The two continued forward.
The abandoned factory was large and empty.
It was so quiet that they could clearly hear each other's footsteps!
Suddenly, a wild cat accidentally knocked over a can while running by not far away.
It made quite a noise.
"Someone's attacking!!!"
Gong Nanyan shouted, immediately jumping into Mu An's arms!
Mu An was a bit speechless.
Was this an overreaction?
He patted the girl's perky bottom, signaling her to get down, while comforting her, "There's no one, just a wild cat passing by!"
"A wild cat? Is that true?"
Gong Nanyan was a bit skeptical.
As a result, she looked in the direction Mu An pointed and indeed saw a somewhat disheveled wild cat.
This was a bit embarrassing!
She was actually scared by a wild cat!
How humiliating!
[From Gong Nanyan's embarrassing emotional fluctuation +19, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]
"So, it was just a wild cat!"
"I knew that, I was just reminding you!"
"Alright, let's keep moving!"
Gong Nanyan pretended nothing had happened and jumped down from Mu An.
She was somewhat forcing an explanation.
Mu An couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
Then he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!"
"Why... what are you laughing at? How dare you mock your future woman!"
"I'm so mad! I'm going to note this down in my little book! So, you can kneel on durian shells again in the future!"
Gong Nanyan stomped her foot in anger, her face turning a shade of embarrassed pink.
Because she knew she was a bit embarrassed!
But she was still unwilling to admit it!
"Okay, I won't laugh anymore, is that alright?"
"Please don't make me kneel on durian shells!"
Mu An wiped away the tears of laughter from his eyes and said seriously.
But when he met the girl's pretty face, he couldn't help but remember how she had jumped three feet high in panic when scared by a wild cat.
He couldn't help but laugh again.
"Ha!"
"Okay, you're still laughing at me! You haven't stopped!"
Gong Nanyan was shaking with anger, instinctively clenching her little fists.
"Please wait a moment, let me finish laughing! Hahaha~~"
Mu An bent over laughing, holding his hands in front of him.
As if to indicate for her to wait a moment!
But how could Gong Nanyan, who was already angry, wait a moment?
She jumped back into Mu An's arms again, showing off her cute little tiger teeth.
"All you do is laugh at me! How infuriating! Is it really that funny?"
"Watch me bite you, you jerk! Ow~"
[From Gong Nanyan's embarrassment and anger emotional fluctuation +19, congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: For The Sake of Punishment, I Will Bully The Bad Guy, and I Decide Not to Let Him Sleep in Bed and Make Him Kneel on Durian Shells for Three Days and Nights]!]
Meanwhile, the wild cat that passed by looked curiously at the two who were playfully bickering.
As if wondering whether they were fighting for food or competing for mating rights?
Regardless of which possibility, it was quite intriguing for the cat!
