Chapter 7 The Sleepless Night

Ye Cang ate a few pieces of bread and, seeing that it was late, thought about teleporting back.

"Wumeng, Wuyou, I have to go. But I will come back to see you. I originally wanted to take you with me, but... we are facing an apocalyptic catastrophe. After this battle is over, I will definitely come back and take you with me."

Wumeng looked at Ye Cang with a pitiful expression, not knowing what she was thinking at this moment.

Her younger sister, Wuyou, also looked reluctant, but remained as cold as ice.

After searching for a long time, Ye Cang couldn't find the space-time teleportation equipment.

"Crap... I lost the space-time teleportation equipment. What am I going to do?" Ye Cang muttered to himself while rummaging through his backpack.

After searching for a long time, Ye Cang still couldn't find the space-time teleportation device, and looked out of the cave to see that the night was already deep.

"Wumeng, you guys should sleep first, I'll go outside to make a fire."

The dark night sky was a tranquil ink painting, with stars inlaid in the sky like glittering silver feathers.

After making a bonfire, Ye Cang took out a mat and a blanket from his backpack. Looking at the vast sky, he unconsciously fell asleep by the fire.

He didn't know how long had passed, but Ye Cang was still in a daze.

His brain seemed to be awake, yet still hazy and blurred. A hand seemed to have grabbed something soft and glutinous. It felt soft, comfortable, and very elastic.

In his hazy consciousness, Ye Cang thought, "Why is there a baozi (steamed bun) where I'm sleeping? I didn't bring baozi with me today."

Then, Ye Cang squeezed it twice more without paying attention, turned over, and faced the opposite direction.

Coincidentally, in the opposite direction, there was also a xiao long bao (soup dumpling) with an excellent feel, soft, glutinous, and full of elasticity.

At this time, Ye Cang's consciousness was five points awake. He thought, "I really didn't bring any baozi with me this time, so where did these xiao long bao come from? It doesn't seem like the Golden Light Mercenary Group's chef could make such chewy xiao long bao."

Suddenly! Ye Cang seemed to realize that something was wrong! So he hurriedly sat up. At this time, the bonfire had gone out, and the scattered embers were still emitting their last bit of warmth.

He walked to the bonfire and lit it again. Clusters of flames, like rising and falling tides, once again tore through the night.

Ye Cang turned around and almost fell into the bonfire.

"Mom! How did you two end up sleeping with me? Then just now... what I was squeezing wasn't xiao long bao! You... you two aren't siblings, but sisters!"

Wumeng and Wuyou nodded in agreement.

Ye Cang was extremely embarrassed at this moment. He swallowed and then said, "I thought so, a boy wouldn't be named Liuli Wumeng. Seeing your short hair, I thought you were a boy... Also, how did you two get outside?"

"I... my sister and I were afraid... afraid that those people would come back to bully us. So..."

Ye Cang walked up to the two sisters and squatted down, thinking, "Alas... it's no wonder, two teenage girls without parents, sleeping under this dark and damp bridge hole all day long, not only hungry, but also often bullied by some villains."

"If I hadn't happened to meet them today, I'm afraid the two sisters would have died tragically under those people's guns just now."

And so... Wumeng and Wuyou fell asleep on Ye Cang's legs. Ye Cang, however, dared not fall asleep for the rest of the night. It wasn't until the sky brightened and the sun was at its peak that the two sisters woke up.

"Wumeng, Wuyou, you're awake. Do you two usually sleep so late?"

Wumeng rubbed her eyes and asked, "What time is it, Brother?"

Ye Cang answered with a gentle smile, "Almost twelve o'clock."

"What! It's... it's almost twelve o'clock?" Wumeng was quite surprised.

Ye Cang looked at the two sisters in silence for a long time, thinking, "The reason why they slept for so long must be because I was by their side."

"This allowed them to feel at ease, and their spirits were no longer as nervous as they used to be, always afraid of villains coming to bully them."

Ye Cang asked again, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Wumeng had already gotten up at this moment, "I'm going to be late! I have to go."

Ye Cang hurriedly grabbed Wumeng, "Where are you going?"

"I... I'm going to wash dishes. The boss is very nice and lets me wash dishes in his restaurant, so that my sister and I have something to eat every day."

After hearing Wumeng's words, Ye Cang suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and tears welled up in his eyes. He never expected that this seemingly weak girl could be so strong and resilient.

Her bright red short hair, now illuminated by the sun, was like a rose blooming among thorns, with both storms and beauty coexisting, strong and brave, making their lives never wither.

"Hoo..." Ye Cang sighed.

"From now on, would you two be willing to live with me?"

Wuyou, who was always aloof and didn't like to talk, excitedly replied, "Yes! I am willing to live with you, Brother!"

Wumeng also happily nodded in agreement.

Just then, hundreds of people suddenly appeared around them, all holding ranged weapons, and several of them even had long-range heavy firepower missiles on their shoulders.

Ye Cang was afraid that these people would harm the Wumeng and Wuyou sisters.

Immediately! He shouted and transformed into Zero Domain Second Stage – Domain Reading.

Ye Cang held the two sisters tightly, comforting them, "Don't be afraid! I'm here!"

Wumeng and Wuyou didn't speak, but held Ye Cang's arms tightly with both hands.

This... seemed to be responding to Ye Cang, we will always believe in you!

As an officer gave the order, hundreds of people simultaneously opened fire on Ye Cang!

Suddenly! Ye Cang's Domain Reading power activated, and the hundreds of people around him were frozen in time by the Domain Reading power.

Ye Cang was worried about the safety of the two sisters and was unwilling to fight. Taking this opportunity, Ye Cang grabbed the two of them and disappeared with a whoosh.

After the three seconds of stasis ended, Ye Cang had already left.

Inside an abandoned factory, Ye Cang and the three of them were eating bread ravenously.

Ye Cang asked, "Wumeng, do you recognize those people?"

Wumeng replied, "Brother, some of the people just now were the ones who bullied us yesterday."

Ye Cang sneered, "Heh! No wonder they were so arrogant and domineering last night, regarding life as insignificant as ants. After I safely send you two back to the Nebula where I live, I will definitely come here and wipe out these villains!"

Wuyou said, "Some of the people just now came to our house. They were the ones who killed my parents."

Ye Cang was shocked, "What! It was them!"
