681: Chapter 681: Are You Trying to Pursue Me?
Three days had passed since Xiao Mei weathered the lightning tribulation.
In those three days, Xiao Mei had finally gained the ability to freely control the immortal essence within her body.
During this time, nearly half of Rome’s noble families had sent representatives to pay their respects to Bai Xiaofan, hoping to forge favorable relations with him.
Which prestigious family didn’t have its own feuds and grudges?
If they could establish a connection with someone like Bai Xiaofan, it could definitely be a lifesaver at a critical moment!
Internationally, word spread rapidly, and almost the entire underworld knew that four of the top twenty in the international killer rankings pledged allegiance to the God of Slaughter, ranked tenth.
This included Bi Pu, ranked sixth!
Everyone was talking about Bai Xiaofan’s affairs in no time.
Once again, the underworld was abuzz because of Bai Xiaofan.
The last time was when Bai Xiaofan committed a massacre in the island country!
Everyone was guessing what Bai Xiaofan’s true strength could be.
How long had it been since the God of Slaughter appeared on the international hit list?
And he had already soared to the tenth spot on the list.
Oh no, not the tenth anymore, he should now be considered the sixth.
That morning, Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei boarded a plane back to Huaxia.
Bai Xiaofan did not bring Bi Pu and the others with him; he told them to go about their usual business.
After all, they were not incapable of developing on their own!
As it had been a while, Bai Xiaofan decided to rest for a bit.
But soon after, Bai Xiaofan and the others were informed that the flight was cancelled due to weather conditions.
When the two stepped out of the airport, they were completely dumbfounded!
This was just too unlucky, right?
There was no choice but to fly to another city first.
As Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei boarded the plane once again, far away at the border of A3, a man received a phone call.
“Hmm, I know, don’t worry, I definitely won’t let them make it back to Huaxia from here!”
After hanging up, the man, followed by a group of people, headed toward the airport.
“Bai Xiaofan, once we’re back in Huaxia, let’s have a spar, shall we?
I want to see how many moves it will take me to defeat you!”
Xiao Mei whispered to Bai Xiaofan next to her, who seemed to have his eyes closed, perhaps asleep.
Hearing Xiao Mei’s words, Bai Xiaofan turned away, ignoring her.
Damn it, she’s crazy!
You’re already at the initial stage of Nascent Soul, yet you think about sparring with me, who’s in the late stage of Golden Core.
Isn’t that just bullying?
Xiao Mei silently glared at him when she saw Bai Xiaofan ignoring her.
This bastard had been avoiding this issue all these days.
All she wanted was a little sparring match, not to actually fight to the death with him.
Is that so necessary?
As he was drifting in and out of sleep, the plane suddenly shook violently.
Bai Xiaofan quickly opened his eyes.
And at that moment, the plane started plummeting straight down.
Ah…
Instantly, the cabin was filled with screams of terror, and everyone panicked.
Almost instinctively, Bai Xiaofan reached out to grab Xiao Mei’s hand next to him, trying his best to maintain balance and prevent his body from losing equilibrium.
Xiao Mei looked at her hand, now gripped by Bai Xiaofan, and was momentarily taken aback.
She knew that Bai Xiaofan’s action at this moment was definitely not about taking advantage of her, more likely just an instinctive reaction.
Bai Xiaofan wanted to struggle free, but after thinking for a moment, he let himself be held.
“Everyone, don’t panic.
Take your seats, you won’t be in danger!”
Someone shouted, trying to calm the crowd, hoping to get everyone to settle down.
But in such a perilous moment, who would listen?
“What’s happening?”
Xiao Mei asked in a soft voice.
“I don’t know, but I suspect someone has sabotaged the plane.
Smoke is coming from the tail.
When we’re closer to the ground, we’ll smash the window and jump out!” Bai Xiaofan replied, shaking his head slightly with an unusually calm expression in his eyes, devoid of any panic.
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Xiao Mei also quieted down.
After all, she had been through countless life and death situations and now possessed the cultivation of the Nascent Soul early stage.
In such dangerous circumstances, her chances of survival were definitely much greater than those of an ordinary person!
A burning smell wafted into everyone’s nostrils.
Bang!
Without time to think further, Bai Xiaofan punched and shattered the glass.
Then, grabbing Xiao Mei’s hand, he jumped off the plane.
Although the glass was very strong, it was no match for Bai Xiaofan’s physical strength, which could rival a Nascent Soul early-stage expert.
There was no doubt his punch could break it.
As everyone was plunged into panic, no one noticed Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei jumping down.
Boom!
Even if they had seen it, there was no time to think.
Because just as the two of them jumped off, the airplane exploded.
A fierce heatwave surged towards Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei.
Without a second thought, Bai Xiaofan held Xiao Mei with one arm, shielding her from the nearly scorching heatwave with his body.
Despite his strong physique, Bai Xiaofan could still feel as though the skin on his back was being cooked by the intense heatwave.
“What do you mean by staring at me like this?
I didn’t hold you on purpose!”
Bai Xiaofan, noticing Xiao Mei staring unblinkingly at him in his arms, thought she was blaming him for holding her again and quickly explained.
At such a critical moment, he didn’t want to start arguing with Xiao Mei over this matter.
“Why did you use your body to shield me?
Are you trying to pursue me?” Xiao Mei asked softly.
“You’re overthinking it.
It’s just because I am a man and you are now my friend, that’s all!” Bai Xiaofan almost spit out the blood he had suppressed upon hearing Xiao Mei’s words.
Was this girl’s head screwed on right?
What kind of questions was she thinking of?
Looking beyond Bai Xiaofan to the fragmented airplane, a strange light flashed in Xiao Mei’s beautiful eyes.
“Can I survive falling from this height?” Xiao Mei turned her head to look down where nothing could be seen and asked softly.
“Without me, you definitely wouldn’t survive, but now that I’m here, you will for sure survive!” Bai Xiaofan confidently responded to Xiao Mei.
Hearing the sound of the wind near her ears, Xiao Mei wrapped her arms around Bai Xiaofan spontaneously.
“Then I’ll rely on you.
I don’t want to die!”
The speed of their fall increased, and the wind grew louder.
Bai Xiaofan put his arms to use, exchanging positions with Xiao Mei so that she was on top, taking the brunt of the wind on his own body.
Drops of fresh blood floated away from the skin on Bai Xiaofan’s back.
His skin had broken open from the impact of the heatwave just moments before…
