Chapter 116: Declaration of Sovereignty

Looking at the teary-eyed Gu Qingcheng, and then recalling the ice queen she was when they first met, Ye Bufan suddenly found it very amusing. He said playfully, "Since you put it that way, I'll tell you the truth.

Actually, I suffered a severe internal injury and don't have much longer to live."

"Xiaofan, don't, please don't…"

Gu Qingcheng didn't realize he was joking with her, after all, the explosion just now had been too powerful.

Moreover, Ye Bufan could have chosen to escape, but instead, he ran over and used his life to protect her. How could such deep affection not move her?

Lost in a whirlwind of emotions, she didn't know what to say. She just desperately hugged the person in her arms tightly, as if fearing that if she let go, he would pass away.

Ye Bufan found it amusing. This woman was truly adorably simple. It was a good thing it was him; if it had been an ordinary person, he probably would have been strangled to death by her.

He suppressed his laughter and, feigning extreme weakness, said, "Before I die, can you promise me one condition?"

"Tell me, I'll agree to any condition…"

"I've never been kissed by a girl before, could you…"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Qingcheng lowered her head, and her two seductive red lips already covered his mouth.

At this moment, she felt her heart was completely filled by this man, and she kissed him without hesitation.

Ye Bufan had originally only intended to make a joke to express his relief at surviving the ordeal, but he hadn't expected Gu Qingcheng to be so serious.

Since she was offering herself, he wouldn't be polite. The two embraced and kissed tightly.

Gu Qiaoqiao had been watching from the side. She was extremely intelligent and felt that something wasn't quite right. Ye Dage didn't look like he was on his deathbed at all.

Just then, the moon emerged from behind the clouds, and its bright moonlight illuminated the ground. Although it wasn't as bright as daylight, ordinary objects could still be seen.

She noticed that Ye Bufan was actually having a man's reaction; that area was highly prominent, not at all like someone on the verge of death.

Although she hadn't experienced intimacy, she had basic physiological knowledge. She immediately shouted, "Hey, Ye Dage, you actually tricked my aunt into kissing you!"

Gu Qingcheng was originally in a state of emotional confusion and hadn't noticed anything amiss.

But as soon as Gu Qiaoqiao shouted that, she immediately realized something. Ye Bufan was holding her tightly with one arm, and his kisses were strong and powerful, not at all like someone who was about to die.

"You bad person, you actually tricked me!"

She pushed Ye Bufan away, her face flushed with shyness.

Thinking about how she had proactively kissed a man just now, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Ye Bufan straightened up and said with a playful smile, "Can you blame me? You were the one who wanted to kiss me."

"You're still talking!"

Gu Qingcheng cast aside her usual image of a cold and aloof queen, raising her small, jade-like fist, ready to punch his chest.

Ye Bufan quickly raised his hands in surrender, "Don't hit me, don't hit me. I just got injured; if you hit me again, I'll spit blood."

Gu Qiaoqiao laughed, "Alright, Auntie, if you feel like you got the short end of the stick, then let Ye Dage kiss you back."

"You naughty girl, you're asking for a beating…"

Gu Qingcheng's fist landed on Gu Qiaoqiao's shoulder.

Ye Bufan said, "Stop messing around. Let's call the police."

If the only opponents had been Xuanying Taoist Nun and those Black-Clothed Men, he would only need a Dan Fire to refine the bodies cleanly. However, there was also the deceased Ouyang Hui.

No matter what, she was still his mother's biological sister. There had to be an explanation, so they could only leave it to the police to handle.

He pulled out his phone and called He Shuangshuang directly: "Come over to my location. Something happened. Bring more people; five people have died."

He Shuangshuang was startled and asked, "Where are you? Are you sure you're not joking?"

"Of course, I'm not joking. I can't explain it in a few words. Hurry over; you'll understand when you get here. I'll send you my location right away."

Ye Bufan hung up the phone after speaking and sent a location message to He Shuangshuang.

At this moment, Gu Qingcheng examined the people at the scene. Xuanying Taoist Nun was relatively far from the explosion site; although she was dead, her body was intact.

As for the explosion's epicenter, the three Black-Clothed Men were the most tragic, having been completely blown into minced meat.

Ouyang Hui was closest to the three and had been blasted into a bloody mess, with no trace of Qi left.

Seeing Ye Bufan walk over, Gu Qingcheng said with considerable regret, "Xiaofan, your mother is dead. The dead cannot be brought back to life; please accept my condolences and move on!"

Ye Bufan said, "I already told you this person is not my mother at all. Let her die; a heartless ingrate like her deserves to die."

"This really isn't your mother? Then what's going on?"

Gu Qingcheng also thought that Ye Bufan had been feigning earlier, with the aim of distracting Xuanying Taoist Nun.

Ye Bufan said, "I'm not sure what's going on either. I'll only know when I go back and see my mother."

The two of them

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

were talking when Gu Qiaoqiao took two bottles of mineral water from the car and helped Gu Qingcheng wash the blood from her face.

As she cleaned, she asked, "Ye Dage, how much blood did you spit out? It stained my aunt's face red."

Saying that, she threw the towel in her hand over: "I'm punishing you to clean my aunt's face."

Ye Bufan secretly shook his head. It seemed this little girl was determined to push her aunt onto him.

He took the towel and gently helped Gu Qingcheng wipe her face.

Gu Qingcheng gazed intently at the man before her, and unknowingly, a hint of an inexplicable emotion had crept into her eyes.

"Done!"

Ye Bufan wiped the blood from her face and was about to put away the towel when Gu Qiaoqiao pointed to Gu Qingcheng's neckline and said, "There's still some here."

He followed her finger and saw that there were still some splattered bloodstains faintly visible along the edge of the cleavage within Gu Qingcheng's neckline.

"This, it might not be appropriate for me to do this!"

Gu Qiaoqiao laughed, "Why isn't it appropriate? Whoever causes the trouble is responsible."

"You naughty girl, go stand aside."

Gu Qingcheng snatched the towel away, but she didn't rush to wipe her neckline. Instead, she very gently helped Ye Bufan wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "It's over. The ice beauty has completely fallen."

Gu Qingcheng was about to scold the girl again when suddenly a bright light appeared in the distance, followed by the roar of an engine. Three police cars sped towards them from afar.

After the vehicles stopped, more than a dozen police officers quickly disembarked, led by He Shuangshuang.

Seeing the scene after the explosion, she was startled. She ordered her subordinates to quickly investigate the scene, then came to Ye Bufan and asked nervously, "Xiaofan, are you injured?"

With such a violent explosion, if Ye Bufan hadn't been standing alive in front of her, she would have truly believed he had been blown to smithereens.

Ye Bufan said, "I suffered a minor injury, but I'm fine."

He Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief and saw Gu Qingcheng standing beside them.

The bright moonlight accentuated the woman's noble, cold, and beautiful demeanor, which gave her an inexplicable sense of threat.

"Xiaofan, is this your friend?"

Ye Bufan nodded, but before he could speak, He Shuangshuang stepped forward and said to Gu Qingcheng, "Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Xiaofan's girlfriend, He Shuangshuang."

At this moment, as soon as this sentence was uttered, the meaning of asserting her ownership was self-evident.
