Having been together for such a long time, Lone Wolf and Chen Feihu naturally became very familiar with each other.

The two often drank together in their downtime, and the more they talked, the more they felt they had met a kindred spirit, as if they had finally found a soulmate.

This is the principle that things of like nature associate with each other; both of them were competitive by nature, and naturally, they would have more in common, with surprisingly similar thoughts.

So, the black-clad person's arrogant words just now were sheer provocation in their ears—how could that be tolerated!

"Overestimating your abilities, that's exactly what you are doing," the black-clad person commented without even turning his head.

While speaking, the black-clad person waved his hand, and from within his broad sleeve, a swarm of insects flew out densely.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz..."

The buzzing sound echoed within a twenty-meter radius.

Chen Feihu and Lone Wolf simultaneously abandoned their attack and retreated, carefully watching the insects buzzing in the air.

"Damn, this looks like hornets!" Lone Wolf exclaimed, dumbfounded. "Are they planning to sting us to death?"

If Xiao Feng were present, he would have recognized at a glance that the black-clad person was none other than Xue Nuofu, who had been replaced by Hua Ling.

At this moment, Xue Nuofu turned his head, looking at the bewildered Lone Wolf and Chen Feihu, and quipped, "You'd better stand still, otherwise I wouldn't mind giving you an unprecedented experience."

Xue Nuofu was indeed surprised by Chen Feihu's appearance; he knew the other's background, so he certainly couldn't kill him, but giving him some trouble was still doable.

As for Chen Feihu's response, it was quite straightforward.

"Bullshit!"

With a curse, Chen Feihu charged directly at Xue Nuofu.

Xue Nuofu immediately moved and at the same time pulled out a small knife, cutting his finger, and then took out a Christmas Rose, letting his blood drip onto its pistil.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!"

In the air, swarms of hornets rushed over, flocking first to the Christmas Rose and then flying toward Lone Wolf and Chen Feihu.

The reckless nature of Chen Feihu and Lone Wolf often got them into trouble, but it didn't mean they were fools; they could tell something was wrong with these hornets.

"Sister-in-law, go back inside first, we'll handle this!"

Lone Wolf shouted and then took off his jacket, waving it to fend off the hornets around them.

Xue Nuofu glanced toward the courtyard gate at Du Qingyue and Jiang Yixin, and after a moment of contemplation, he took out another Christmas Rose from his sleeve and tossed it into the yard, saying, "If you don't want to get stung, you'd better let the blood drip on the pistil."

"Qingyue, what should we do?"

Seeing the hornets flying into the yard, Jiang Yixin was so nervous that her palms were already sweaty.

Indeed, she was much stronger than before, more than capable of handling ordinary people, and could even take on some trained fighters.

But her opponents had to be human; so many hornets weren't something one could simply overcome with skill.

This truth is analogous to how ants can overwhelm an elephant; after all, the first time Xiao Feng encountered hornets, he chose to run rather than face them head-on.

"Get back inside and find something to make fire," Du Qingyue decisively instructed.

In such an uncertain situation, she certainly wouldn't do what Xue Nuofu suggested.

However, truly hiding inside and letting Lone Wolf and Chen Feihu take all the risks was something she couldn't do either, so she had to find a way to deal with the hornets.

Xue Nuofu watched Du Qingyue and Jiang Yixin enter the house, a smile playing at the corner of his lips; they must be looking for Xiao Feng for help.

As for the two who were still stubbornly resisting outside, no one was going to die, at most they'll just suffer a bit, so it didn't matter.

"Damn, don't push them over to my side," Lone Wolf glared at Chen Feihu in dissatisfaction.

"Nonsense!" Chen Feihu retorted angrily, "Did I say anything earlier when you were pushing them toward me? Besides, how do I control where they fly?"

Lone Wolf shouted, "People reveal their true colors in critical moments; I've seen through you, you're just in it for yourself, and yet I considered you one of my own."

"Who cares about being one of your own? If I wanted to avoid this, I could just leave. Fighting alongside you is loyalty enough!" Chen Feihu countered.

However, soon they had no time to bicker.

Because the hornets were increasing in number, spreading out like a net closing down from the sky.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!"

Hearing the increasing buzz, Lone Wolf and Chen Feihu felt their scalps tingle as they exchanged a horrified glance.

Just then, Du Qingyue's voice rang out, "Catch!"

Then came two whooshing sounds.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Following the sound, Lone Wolf and Chen Feihu saw two torches, emitting black smoke, spinning their way.

"Smoke them out?" Lone Wolf's eyes lit up. "Sister-in-law has a faster brain than us!"

"..." Chen Feihu.

At such a time, do you really have time to flatter her?

Each took a torch, waving them up to disperse the descending hornet swarm.

Yet, the hornets maintained their formation; even if gaps occasionally opened, they were quickly closed by new hornets.

"Damn! It's not working?"

Lone Wolf sweated in anxiety.

"Anyone with eyes can see that, do I need you to tell me? Hiss..."

Mid-sentence, Chen Feihu sucked in a breath of cold air and winced in pain—no question, he got stung.

"How can it not be working?" Du Qingyue's expression grew somber.

Beside her, Jiang Yixin, also holding a torch, tugged on her sleeve nervously, "Qingyue, did you notice... some of the hornets... are flying towards us?"

Du Qingyue noticed too, but knowing didn't change anything, did it?

Run back inside and hide like a turtle?

Truthfully, she felt very much at her wits' end at this moment, constantly wishing Xiao Feng were here, because in critical moments, Xiao Feng always seemed to have a way out.

Outside, Xue Nuofu saw Du Qingyue and Jiang Yixin standing dumbfoundedly in the yard, unable to resist asking, "Where's Xiao Feng? Isn't he coming out?"

"I told you, he's not here," Du Qingyue answered with a steely expression.

With that said, she charged at the approaching hornet swarm with her torch.

Seeing this, Jiang Yixin gritted her teeth and followed suit.

Xue Nuofu could hardly help but curse on the spot; are these two women out of their minds?

"Don't come closer!" Xue Nuofu shouted in fury.

However, Du Qingyue and Jiang Yixin paid no heed, waving their torches as they rushed forward without slowing.

"Damn!"

Xue Nuofu couldn't help but swear, finally believing halfway that Xiao Feng indeed wasn't home.

But that wasn't the main issue.

The issue was that while Chen Feihu and the scarred one could be stung, the two inside couldn't be harmed.

Realizing this, Xue Nuofu raised his right arm, and without any noticeable actions, the hornets seemed to receive a command and retreated in droves.
