Free Web NovelChapter 202: Chapter 202: Ding! The Villain Mode Has Dropped!
But he knew very well that such thoughts were foolish.
Yue Yue was not someone who could be owned. She was like a free bird soaring across the vast sky.
A rare jewel that shone so brightly that countless people would inevitably be drawn toward her light.
Trying to cage someone like her would only destroy the very thing that made her so special.
Feng Yanshen slowly opened his eyes again.
The faint bitterness in them gradually faded.
Instead, a quiet determination settled in his gaze.
If he could not trap her...
Then he would simply stand beside her.
No matter how many people were drawn to her brilliance.
No matter how fierce the storms that surrounded her became.
He would remain there to protect and support her. And loving her in the way she deserved.
Even if she never belonged to him alone. He was willing to change for her and bury those evil thoughts of killing that man.
Back inside the medical room, Yue Yue was still sitting beside the bed, holding Xing Luoye’s hand while speaking softly with him.
At that moment...
A crisp mechanical sound suddenly echoed inside her mind.
Ding!
Yue Yue blinked in surprise. The familiar system panel immediately appeared in front of her eyes.
[Congratulations, Host!]
[The Villain Mode has dropped by 20% for the Fourth Villain: Feng Yanshen.]
[Current Villain Mode: Reduced Successfully and Favorability Level Increased.]
[Current Affection: 60%.]
[Please keep working hard, Host!]
Yue Yue froze for a moment. Her eyes widened slightly in shock.
Feng Yanshen?
But... she had clearly offended him today. Why would his villain mode suddenly drop now?
A small frown appeared on her face as confusion filled her mind.
***
Far away from the Dune city, deep in the silent darkness of space, a massive spaceship was traveling steadily toward an unknown destination.
This was not an ordinary ship.
It was the Emergency Evacuation Vessel prepared long ago by the people of Dune City.
The citizens of Dune City had always known the truth of their situation. They lived under constant danger. The empires had never truly stopped hunting them. Because of that, the leaders of the city had prepared this spaceship years ago as a last escape route.
If one day the city was attacked and they could no longer defend it, the people would gather in the underground bunkers and immediately evacuate.
And today...
That day had finally come.
After the emergency alarm was activated, thousands of citizens rushed into the bunkers beneath the city. Once all people had gathered, the hidden spaceship launched silently into space, leaving their homeland behind.
Now the giant ship was already far away, heading toward a secret location known only to the leaders of the city.
Inside the spaceship, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
The vessel had many large sections built to hold the population of the city, but even with so much space, it still felt crowded.
Families huddled together in silence.
Children clung tightly to their parents. fгeewebnovёl.com
Many people simply sat on the cold metal floor, staring blankly at nothing.
But the worst part was the sound.
The quiet crying. Many citizens were openly weeping.
Some covered their faces as tears flowed endlessly.
Others tried to hold their emotions back, but their trembling shoulders revealed their grief.
Everyone inside the ship knew the same truth.
Their First Prince had stayed behind.
Xing Luoye had remained in the city to stop the pursuing forces and buy time for everyone else to escape.
He had done it without hesitation. He had sacrificed himself so the people of Dune City could survive.
For the citizens, Xing Luoye was not just their prince. He was their protector. He was the shield that had stood in front of them countless times.
Now that shield had been left behind.
Many people could not accept it.
In one corner of the ship, an elderly woman cried loudly while clutching a small pendant with the symbol of the griffin carved into it.
"Our prince... our brave prince..." she sobbed.
Nearby, a group of young men sat together with red eyes.
Some of them clenched their fists in anger.
Others cursed under their breath.
"It’s the empires," one of them said bitterly.
"They won’t stop hunting us."
"Even after everything we lost... they still chase us like animals."
Another man slammed his fist against the wall.
"They forced the First Prince to stay behind!"
"If those heartless empires didn’t attack us again and again, none of this would have happened!"
Their voices were filled with pain and helpless rage.
But no matter how angry they were, nothing could change the current reality.
Far away from the noisy sections of the ship, a quieter area had been reserved for medical treatment.
Inside one of the largest medical rooms, several medical staff members were working urgently around a bed.
On that bed lay an unconscious man. It was Xing Luoguang.
His face was pale and his breathing was extremely weak.
Dark veins occasionally flickered beneath his skin, showing the terrifying poison that was spreading through his body.
Standing beside the bed was a tall man with thick brown fur covering parts of his arms and neck.
As he was partially transformed. He belonged to an interstellar beast race known for their powerful healing abilities.
His name was Borun, one of the most skilled medical specialists in Dune City.
Borun carefully placed both of his hands above Xing Luoguang’s chest.
A faint golden light slowly gathered around his palms.
This was the natural healing power of his species.
The light gradually spread into Xing Luoguang’s body, attempting to suppress the violent poison inside him.
Borun’s expression, however, was extremely serious. Sweat slowly formed on his forehead as he concentrated on controlling the poison.
"The toxin is still spreading..." he muttered quietly.
"The stabilizing medicine slowed it down, but it hasn’t stopped."
Another medical assistant beside him looked worried.
"Can we hold it back until we reach the safe zone?"
Borun did not answer immediately. His eyes remained fixed on Xing Luoguang’s darkened veins.
Finally, he spoke in a low voice. "We will try."
