"Who is calling for help inside?"
Shen Lang recognized Yu Xiao's voice and was certain that the person calling for help was not Yu Xiao.
Out of curiosity, Shen Lang looked at an old man watching from the side and asked, "It seems to be Yu Laogou's youngest daughter, Yu Fei."
The old man watching had a grim expression. "This girl suffered from bone marrow disease since she was a child. But Yu Laogou, that beast, would rather gamble his money away than get her treatment, causing her to miss the best time for treatment and be paralyzed for life."
"The fire is so intense, and this girl is crippled. She can't even turn over. She's doomed. It's truly a sin."
Before the old man could finish speaking, he saw Shen Lang rushing into the sea of fire. His face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Kid... what... what are you doing?"
"Come back, quickly come back! The fire is so big, do you want to die?"
However, Shen Lang seemed not to hear him and rushed into the flames without looking back.
"He's crazy, this kid is crazy."
Seeing this, the old man was shocked and murmured.
The other onlookers also reacted with shock, "Is this kid sick? He dares to charge into such a big fire?"
Shen Lang was not sick, nor did he want to die.
Yu Laogou was Yu Xiao's father, so Yu Fei was Yu Xiao's sister, his future sister-in-law.
Moreover, Yu Xiao might also be inside. How could Shen Lang stand by and do nothing?
At this moment, the dilapidated house had not only become a sea of fire but was also filled with black smoke, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
If an ordinary person were to rush in, they would not only be unable to save anyone but would also perish with them.
But Shen Lang was different. Under his clothes, he not only wore the "Golden Silk Soft Armor" that was impervious to swords, spears, fire, and poisons, but he also possessed "Ice Profound Qi" internal energy.
Ice Profound Qi was a supreme yin and extremely cold internal art. Once unleashed by Shen Lang, its coldness emanated from his body, freezing water within three feet.
Therefore, despite the intense fire, Shen Lang remained unharmed.
However, even though Shen Lang was not consumed by the fire, he still couldn't save anyone.
This was because the pervasive thick smoke made it impossible for him to open his eyes.
Furthermore, the house seemed to have stored a lot of dried chili peppers. When these dried chili peppers were ignited by the fire, Shen Lang coughed incessantly and his eyes watered profusely.
Shen Lang's expression turned solemn. "I can't delay any longer. It seems I have to use the 'Double Pupil Technique'."
The Double Pupil Technique was not a martial art but a unique supernatural ability created by the old man, to be used with both eyes.
When the Double Pupils were activated, not only were both eyes impervious to water, fire, and poisons, but they could also see through all obstacles, which was known as clairvoyance.
However, Shen Lang's cultivation was inferior to the old man's, so each activation of the Double Pupil Technique consumed a large amount of vital energy and spirit, leaving him almost exhausted.
Unless absolutely necessary, Shen Lang would never willingly use the Double Pupil Technique.
But now, with lives at stake, Shen Lang couldn't afford to hesitate.
As the Double Pupils opened, Shen Lang's left pupil turned golden-yellow, and his right pupil turned sapphire blue.
The fire was fierce, and the poisonous smoke billowed. However, the moment the Double Pupils were activated, Shen Lang could clearly see the interior of the house through the fire and smoke.
It was a two-bedroom apartment. Shen Lang's gaze swept across the rooms and found no trace of Yu Xiao.
At this moment, in a room on the left side of the living room, by the window, on a wooden bed, he spotted a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old.
She must be Yu Xiao's sister, Yu Fei.
Like Yu Xiao, Yu Fei possessed a stunningly beautiful face.
But unlike Yu Xiao's purity, Yu Fei had a seductive and enchanting demeanor that exuded a fatal allure.
Shen Lang's heart was thrown into chaos and his blood surged with just a glance.
"Innate alluring constitution?"
Shen Lang was shocked. He never expected that in this world, there were women with the legendary "innate alluring constitution."
Women with an "innate alluring constitution" were rare, occurring in perhaps one out of millions. Even if they did nothing, they could intensely stimulate a man's lust.
Legend had it that Yang Guifei had an "innate alluring constitution," which was why the lecherous Emperor Xuanzong spared no effort to take his son's consort into his harem.
A young lady from the Yang family, yet unknown in the deep palace, was once chosen to be by the Emperor's side, and from then on, the Emperor neglected his morning court.
The downfall of the Tang Dynasty during the An Lushan Rebellion could not be solely attributed to Yang Guifei, but her role was not insignificant.
Shen Lang never expected to encounter a girl with an "innate alluring constitution" in his lifetime, and this girl was Yu Xiao's sister.
However, Shen Lang had no time to dwell on this.
The fire was spreading rapidly, already reaching the head of the bed. In another second, it would engulf Yu Fei.
At this critical juncture, Shen Lang, braving the fierce flames and poisonous smoke, dashed forward. In the blink of an eye, he reached the bed and scooped Yu Fei into his arms.
"You... who are you?"
Yu Fei had not been burned by the fire, but she had inhaled too much smoke and burning particles, and was currently disoriented.
To be honest, Yu Fei had already resigned herself to death.
But she never expected someone to rescue her when she was on the brink of death. She asked with her last ounce of strength.
Shen Lang offered a warm smile. "My name is Shen Lang."
"What? You are Shen..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Fei's expression changed to shock.
Before Yu Fei could finish speaking, Shen Lang, holding her, rushed out of the room and headed towards the main door.
Shen Lang had only taken two steps when suddenly, Yu Fei in his arms' pupils constricted into pinpricks, and she cried out in alarm, "Be... careful!"
Hearing Yu Fei's words, Shen Lang froze. He looked up and saw a burning roof beam falling rapidly towards him and Yu Fei.
The roof beam, made of solid wood weighing hundreds of pounds, was falling at an extremely fast speed.
Shen Lang was confident that if he were not holding Yu Fei, he would have a hundred percent chance of avoiding it.
However, if he dodged, Yu Fei would undoubtedly be crushed to death, her brains splattering.
At the critical moment, Shen Lang took a large step forward with his right foot, his body arching like a bow, pressing Yu Fei's head tightly against his chest.
"Bang—"
The next second, the solid roof beam, weighing hundreds of pounds, fell and struck Shen Lang heavily on the back.
Suffering such a blow, Shen Lang did not cry out.
But as he looked up, he saw a smear of crimson blood on the corner of Shen Lang's mouth.
Yu Fei looked at Shen Lang, shocked, but more so, touched and concerned, "You... you're injured?"
"It's nothing. I've suffered injuries of this magnitude many times before."
Shen Lang forced a smile and, without any pause, holding Yu Fei, he rushed out of the house that was about to be engulfed by flames.
"That kid actually got out?"
When Shen Lang emerged, the onlookers were stunned.
However, when they saw Yu Fei in Shen Lang's arms, their shock turned into disbelief. "This kid not only got out alive himself but actually rescued Yu Laogou's paralyzed daughter?"
In an instant, the contempt in their eyes vanished, replaced by admiration, heartfelt admiration.
Shen Lang was completely unaware of their thoughts, nor did he care to know.
After exiting the sea of fire, Shen Lang placed Yu Fei on the ground, supporting her with his left hand to prevent her from falling. With his right hand, he firmly patted Yu Fei's back three times, specifically on the Fengmen, Feishu, and Jueyinshu acupoints.
Yu Fei first exhaled a breath of stale air, followed by a bout of vomiting, expelling all the burning particles she had inhaled into her esophagus and lungs.
As the stale air was expelled and the inhaled particles were vomited out, Yu Fei's consciousness cleared significantly.
With her senses returning, Yu Fei suddenly turned and tightly grasped Shen Lang's shoulders. Her face was filled with urgency, "Big brother, my sister was taken away by people from White Horse Club. She told me that if anything happened, only you could save her. Please, save her."
