Inside the surveillance screen, another world filled with water everywhere. Huangfu Jun desperately swam deeper, just a little more and she could reach the red hem of Xu Xiaofang's skirt. Just a little more and she could pull Xu Xiaofang back from Bo Qi's nightmare. She stretched her fingertips as far as she could, finally touching that fluttering red. Gritting her teeth, she lunged forward, grabbing hold of more. Xu Xiaofang, who had been swimming straight ahead, seemed to finally sense Huangfu Jun's presence and slowly turned around. The water around them instantly transformed into raindrops falling from the sky, separating from them and revealing a breathable space. "Xiao—" Before she could finish, Huangfu Jun was startled, swallowing the rest of her words! The face of the girl in red had suddenly turned into a man's face! That face—Huangfu Jun recognized it—it was Hei Zhe's face! His charming fox eyes winked at her, and the red dress instantly turned black and long, fluttering in the wind into a wide black ancient robe. The red hem she had grabbed became his hand. He held her firmly, raising an eyebrow provocatively, and said with a light laugh, "We meet again, delicious little half-demon~" Huangfu Jun shuddered with revulsion. She tried to pull her hand back, but couldn't move it an inch. Hei Zhe laughed even more cheerfully. With a gentle tug, Huangfu Jun uncontrollably fell into his embrace. "Little half-demon, it's useless. This is my dream. Your existence, strength, and weakness are all subject to my imagination." He pinched her chin with his other hand, gently stroking it, and said mockingly, "And here, you are just a little plaything for me to toy with~" Huangfu Jun's face contorted as if she had heard something filthy. She wanted to struggle, but her body wouldn't obey. Not only could she not move, but under Hei Zhe's control, she even reached out to touch his cheek. Her expression was furious, yet her head uncontrollably leaned forward, as if to offer him a passionate kiss. Unable to move her body, Huangfu Jun desperately called for help in her mind—not to her system and superior Bai Lin, but to Xu Xiaofang, who had brought her here: [Xiaofang, I know you're inside this body. Or rather, Hei Zhe is secretly residing in your body. Oh, Hei Zhe is this disgusting scumbag. You can freely travel between dreams and reality, so you can definitely take me out and control that Hei Zhe inside you, making him unable to do as he pleases.] Her lips drew closer to Hei Zhe's. The smugness in the depths of his eyes grew stronger. He wrapped his arm around her slender waist, the corners of his mouth curling up, waiting for her to throw herself into his arms, offering her fragrant kiss and more. [Xiaofang! Without Hei Zhe, without Bo Qi, without me, and without jumping into the river to drown yourself, you can find a way to save yourself! The method to escape the Xu family, your stepmother, and the Wu family is simple—just come out, and I'll tell you!] Despite her frantic mental calls, her body still moved uncontrollably according to Hei Zhe's will. As Huangfu Jun moved, the surrounding darkness slowly receded, revealing a vast, dark forest. Above the dim forest hung a bright, full moon. Moonlight filtered through drifting clouds, casting dappled light onto the ground. Every hair on Huangfu Jun's body stood on end. Her breath, like the night forest around her, was filled with tension and fear. Hei Zhe looked down at her, his eyes flickering with an eerie green glow, full of contempt and mockery. He held her tightly, controlling her to be more passionate, more proactive. Huangfu Jun felt as if she were tightly coiled by a terrifying black python, but she didn't give up hope. Because in the reflection of his pupils, she gradually saw Xu Xiaofang's figure, becoming clearer and closer! At the most critical moment, just as her lips were about to touch his, and she could even feel the cold temperature of his skin, a soul-shaking dragon's roar suddenly blasted from the deep sky above! Its momentum was so vast that it nearly shook apart the tightly pressed Huangfu Jun and Hei Zhe, and seemed capable of tearing the silent night apart! Then, a dazzling beam of white light poured down from the nine heavens, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day. The ancient forest and the people within it shone brilliantly under this light. Huangfu Jun was momentarily blinded, blinking hard several times before gradually adjusting. The light slowly dissipated, and a massive white dragon suddenly appeared in the sky above! It circled in the air, its robust body, majestic demeanor, and powerful aura inspiring awe. Huangfu Jun felt like crying for a moment—the system was reliable in critical moments! The white dragon made a loop in the air, and with another roar, it suddenly turned and dove straight toward them like lightning! At the same time, a real lightning bolt gathered in the white dragon's mouth, striking directly at Hei Zhe's location! Hei Zhe's face changed drastically. He leaped up instantly and sprinted a hundred meters away before the lightning struck, barely dodging the thunderous attack! The lightning nearly grazed Huangfu Jun's body, making her feel her hair stand on end. 'Damn! A body-edge master!' Huangfu Jun rubbed her arms to calm her bristling hair while trying to relax her body from the earlier stiffness. Her eyes tracked Hei Zhe's movements. In the blink of an eye, he had already flashed a hundred meters away. Before she could react, the white dragon in the sky gathered an even larger and brighter lightning ball, then spat it at Hei Zhe with lightning speed. No matter how fast a demon, it couldn't outrun lightning. This time, the higher-energy lightning ball sent Hei Zhe flying. At the same time, another dazzling white light flashed. When the light faded, the dragon-form Bai Lin had transformed back into human form. Silver long hair, a wide white robe—he descended gracefully from the air, landing before Huangfu Jun like a god. "Why didn't you call me?" Bai Lin frowned, anger simmering in the depths of his eyes. Huangfu Jun tried to answer but found herself mute again, opening her mouth without a sound. Bai Lin reached out coldly, grabbed the off-balance Huangfu Jun, and pulled her behind him protectively. Before she could steady herself, her feet left the ground as Bai Lin suddenly lifted her into the air. For safety, she tightly clutched his arm. She couldn't fly yet; falling would be troublesome. On the other side, Bai Lin fixed his gaze like a torch on Hei Zhe below. Hei Zhe lay on the ground, disheveled. He struggled to raise his head, looking up at his towering opponent, a mocking smile curling at his lips. "Bai Lin, Bai Lin, I never thought you would go to such lengths for a little half-demon, even daring to break into my carefully laid double-layer dream. It seems she holds a special place in your heart~" Bai Lin didn't utter a single word in response. He merely raised his hand coldly, gathering a ball of lightning energy at his fingertips. The energy ball crackled with electricity, looking a bit rough and uneven, as if it had a mind of its own. It bounced and drifted above Huangfu Jun's head, the crackling current sucking her hair up to stand on end, making it look as fluffy as the ball itself. The energy ball seemed delighted, bouncing again. Bai Lin felt a bit speechless. He reached out and slapped the ball down like a basketball block. The energy ball shot off like a runaway horse, heading straight for Hei Zhe. Fortunately, the latter reacted in time, rolling sideways to barely dodge the fatal blow. Regaining his footing, Hei Zhe looked up at his enemy. "Hmph, Bai Lin, I know you're powerful and crazy, but don't forget this is my territory! In my dream, I am the master of everything!" With that, Hei Zhe flicked his black sleeve, and a dozen figures of various forms instantly appeared out of thin air before him. Huangfu Jun's pupils sharply contracted. Although she had never seen these people before, her experience organizing the Monster Bureau archives allowed her to instantly recognize several of them—individuals of great importance to the Monster Bureau...
