However, such enchanting moments cannot last very long and were soon broken by interruptions…

When a large number of soldiers with guns, armed vehicles, and set-up roadblocks appeared ahead, Qin Fang had no choice but to temporarily pause.

And just a short distance behind these layers of roadblocks was their destination for this trip… Luo City.

"So fast…"

Seeing the city already in front of her, even though Ruan Beauty had experienced all of this herself, she couldn't help but exclaim when they suddenly stopped.

Of course, whether her words meant Qin Fang's running speed was really fast or those beautiful moments passed too quickly, only she herself knew.

However, upon reaching here, she couldn't remain on Qin Fang's back anymore and got down from his broad back. But from her look, it seemed she was still somewhat reluctant to part.

Perhaps the time was indeed too short…

The area of this mountain was vast, but it wasn't too far from the city. Under Qin Fang's high-speed pace, what would normally take at least an hour was completed in just over ten minutes.

And this was even with Qin Fang carrying Ruan Beauty on his back and holding several hundred pounds of items in his hands…

Given such circumstances, Ruan Beauty's exclamation of "too fast" was entirely understandable.

However, Qin Fang had no response to Ruan Beauty's exclamation, still playing his role as a mute, standing by her side like a diligent guard.

Yet, Ruan Beauty knew very well that he was not her guard, and to be precise, she still had no idea about Qin Fang's true identity…

There was no way, as Qin Fang was a mute now and couldn't speak; even if she wanted to ask, there was nothing she could find out.

But one thing Ruan Beauty could be sure of was that Qin Fang harbored no malice towards her and was even very attentive in protecting her…

"Could it be because he likes me?"

Suddenly, such a thought popped up in Ruan Beauty's mind, startling her greatly.

However, looking at Qin Fang's wooden expression, it was hard to discern any emotion, leaving Ruan Beauty feeling quite unsettled…

Nevertheless, it was apparent she couldn't afford to slowly guess and ponder because they had reached the edge of the city and were stopped by a group of soldiers armed to the teeth.

Whether it was due to the recent Dragon Country fighter jet bombing of the Hand of the Demon camp, even the Anlang Military Region was alerted.

As the guardian of Northern Anlang and the highest commander of the military forces… Ruan Wenzhong dared not be negligent. To prevent any unexpected events, he immediately dispatched troops to seal off various points around Luo City, especially rigorously blocking roads leading to the northern mountains.

As for why he did so?

Whether it was to prevent Dragon Country intelligence and operatives from infiltrating Luo City or to thwart residual forces of the Hand of the Demon, only Ruan Wenzhong knew best, and his troops merely followed orders obediently.

Luo City is a crucial town in Northern Anlang. Although not the city closest to Dragon Country's border, it is strategically significant.

This place is a hub for Northern Anlang; heading north through the vast forested areas leads one to the Dragon Country border, walking west across several tributaries of the Mekong River leads to the jade-producing Mian Dian, and going southeast directly reaches the Anlang Capital… thus the importance of this city is self-evident.

And it is precisely such an important city that is under the control of Ruan Wenzhong, or rather, it is Ruan Wenzhong's stronghold.

If it weren't, Ruan Wenzhong wouldn't be so cautious and careful.

Qin Fang was unfazed, all this was foreseeable, even if the event occurred in Dragon Country, similar reactions would probably follow.

Ruan Beauty did not hesitate, heading towards the roadblock ahead, while Qin Fang followed behind her carrying the boxes, walking slowly…

"Who goes there?"

However, they were still stopped, as a soldier aimed his gun at the approaching Ruan Beauty and Qin Fang, shouting with some hostility.

Pop~~

But just as he spoke, he was kicked severely, falling to the ground with a groan. Upon looking back, he immediately realized it was his superior, angrily glaring at him, leaving him bewildered and tense…

"Miss Ruan… Hello!"

The officer ignored the soldier, immediately and respectfully addressing Ruan Beauty.

Once they heard the address "Miss Ruan" and saw their officer's reaction, how could these soldiers not understand the woman's identity?

They immediately stood at attention with a crisp salute and respectfully addressed her.

Even the soldier who was just kicked got up from the ground at once, stood amongst the crowd, and greeted nervously, seemingly very afraid that Miss Ruan might get upset and decide to finish him off!
