Chapter 889 - 465: Knight Advancement (Part 3)
He mouthed the word "shut up".
Pin Wan Na realized and nodded repeatedly to indicate she understood.
"Dong!"
"Zhi~"
The wall made a strange noise again, sounding like heavy footsteps, mixed with a scraping sound, as if a sharp object was being dragged along it.
Meng Xiaochuan instantly realized that outside was most likely an Insect Monster, which was using this method to search the hotel for prey.
Pin Wan Na thought of the same thing, and her body began to tremble.
Meng Xiaochuan feared she would scream out, so he hugged her tightly and pressed his lips directly onto hers.
Pin Wan Na immediately widened her eyes, but the move worked well—her trembling stopped instantly.
The stewardess playfully licked back.
Meng Xiaochuan was speechless, yet unable to avoid it.
A few seconds passed.
The sound outside still hadn’t stopped, indicating the Insect Monster hadn’t left.
Meng Xiaochuan frowned.
His intuition told him the Insect Monster’s senses must be very sharp, and it wouldn’t be long before it found them.
Meng Xiaochuan pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.
He used one hand to put down his phone, opened the contact list, and dialed the hotel front desk’s number.
This suite was located on the sixth floor of the hotel, not far from the first-floor lobby. As long as the lobby phone rang, he believed the Insect Monster would definitely hear it.
Everyone in the lobby had run away, so there was no worry about endangering innocents.
Just one second passed.
"Dong! Dong!"
The footsteps quickly receded.
The Insect Monster left!
Meng Xiaochuan let out a big sigh of relief.
Once the Insect Monster leaves, the chance of it coming back is almost nonexistent; after all, good monsters don’t eat what’s left behind.
Pin Wan Na witnessed all his actions, full of admiration, whispered, "You Great Xia people are so clever."
Meng Xiaochuan increasingly felt that the Antai Air Hostess’s thinking was a bit twisted.
This was clearly an individual’s act, how could she generalize it to all Great Xia people?
"Mwah!"
The stewardess took the initiative to nibble, biting quite hard.
After a long while, she finally released him somewhat reluctantly.
Meng Xiaochuan felt the two had already established a close relationship, so he asked bluntly, "You don’t seem to like Antai men very much?"
Pin Wan Na nodded and candidly answered, "It’s not that I don’t like them, I just despise them. Compared to you Great Xia men, Antai men are just a bunch of useless people."
She was confident, "All the women in the world admire strength; liking Great Xia people is perfectly normal."
Meng Xiaochuan was dumbfounded.
He felt the stewardess’s views were too extreme but didn’t know what to say.
He picked up his phone again, glanced at it, and his eyes caught a bold headline that made him smile with delight.
Pin Wan Na couldn’t help but ask, "What’s up?"
Meng Xiaochuan beamed, "Mr. Ghost has returned from the Sea of Death Black Sand and is about to come to Guli Man."
Pin Wan Na froze for a moment, tentatively asking, "Are we saved?"
Meng Xiaochuan nodded vigorously, "Of course! There are only a little over a thousand Insect Monsters from the Sobbing Green Sea; Mr. Ghost’s strength is enough to take down all of them."
Pin Wan Na smiled brightly, "That’s great!"
Meng Xiaochuan glanced down at his phone again and suddenly exclaimed with excitement, "He’s here!"
He handed the phone to the stewardess, who immediately saw a photo.
A fiery red figure appeared in the midst of the rain, with striking flame wings stretching out behind.
Those flame wings were the hallmark of the Great Xia Ghost.
For some reason, Pin Wan Na should have felt happy, yet a hint of melancholy suddenly arose in her heart.
Originally, the stewardess thought they could stay in the safe house with Meng Xiaochuan for a long time; she never expected they’d be leaving so soon.
Although the safe house was very cramped and far from comfortable, Pin Wan Na felt that everything that happened here was the most beautiful memory of her life.

In the sky.
Yang Fan completed his promotion, and after returning from the Black Sand Sea, he tore open space and stepped directly to Guli Man.
The pair of Flame Wings manifested by his middle-grade superpower, Feather of Blazing Flame, had a wingspan exceeding a hundred meters, making for an overwhelmingly impressive sight.
Because the flame wings were so gigantic, they could be seen from many parts of the city, allowing cameras to capture them and notify the populace that Canglan Star’s top warrior had descended upon the city.
Hovering mid-air, Yang Fan immediately sensed the difference: "A Knight’s control of superpowers is indeed a cut above."
With just a thought, he had already summoned a pair of massive flame wings in no more than 5 or 6 milliseconds, whereas before it would have taken at least 30 to 40 milliseconds—a change by orders of magnitude.
In battle, this means quicker reaction speeds and therefore stronger combat power.
This is because breaking the second barrier transforms the soul qualitatively, and since superpowers are essentially mutations of the soul, the control of superpowers is further enhanced.
Yang Fan looked down over the rain-shrouded city, and his thoughts moved once more.
"Whoosh~"
A whistling sound emerged.
The flame wings gave a powerful flap, instantly expanding to over five hundred meters long.
Arrows formed of flames detached from the wings, swiftly swooping down toward the city below.
Each flaming arrow left a trail of blazing red in its wake.
Over three thousand crimson trails arrayed across the sky, looking stunningly magnificent while carrying a profoundly moving beauty.
This astounding scene was instantly captured by numerous cameras, transmitted worldwide via electromagnetic waves.
Before his promotion to Knight.
Even when Yang Fan fully activated Feather of Blazing Flame, he could at most condense a little over a thousand flaming arrows.
Now he had used less than half his strength and easily condensed over three thousand flaming arrows.
In the blink of an eye.
Countless fiery arrows rained down.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Thunderous roars rose, overshadowing the storm engulfing the city.
Blossoms of dazzling flame rose like flowers from various locations in Guli Man, showcasing to the world the unparalleled prowess of Canglan Star’s top powerhouse.
