Chapter 104: Chapter 104: The Dragon Tendon Has Been Extracted?

Fortunately, she extended her hand just in time and steadied the jar in her arms once again.

But at that moment, the jar felt scalding hot in her palm. She asked in shock, "Xuan Jiu... is dead?"

"He will die in one year," Chen Yunji replied.

This answer did not give Xiao Jinsheng any sense of relief.

"Can you speak more considerately?" Noticing Xiao Jinsheng’s low spirits, Li questioned Chen Yunji.

Chen Yunji looked puzzled. "I’m just stating the facts."

"There’s still a year left; we can try to do something," Que Zelian reassured Xiao Jinsheng.

"But why does he want me to safeguard his heart?" Xiao Jinsheng asked, confused.

"He only trusts you. Without his heart, his superpower has already dropped to Ten Stars. With an incomplete heart, he won’t be able to rise to Twelve Stars within a year. This is also a way for him to protect his life," Chen Yunji explained truthfully.

Xiao Jinsheng stared at the white porcelain jar in her hands, unable to imagine that it contained a still-beating heart.

Thinking back, she and Xuan Jiu had known each other for less than two days, yet he dared to entrust his life to her. It was impossible not to feel the pressure.

After all, she had no significant connection with Xuan Jiu, and now she suddenly held his life in her hands. It felt undeniably strange.

But on the battlefield against the Terminal, there was no longer any room for retreat.

Xiao Jinsheng quickly composed herself, carefully placing the white porcelain jar down, then asked Chen Yunji, "How do you intend to cooperate with us?"

"I’m reasonably capable. If you need assistance, just let me know," Chen Yunji replied, following Xuan Jiu’s suggestion. "Are you still participating in the competition? I can help you complete the missions."

"You’re not a contestant, and you don’t have a bracelet. It’ll be hard to confirm the resource points," Yu Yunxiao reminded him.

Chen Yunji said bluntly, "Then just give me a bracelet."

The moment those words left his mouth, the seven men around them instantly became vigilant.

"Are you sure you’re here to cooperate?" Mo Jiao, ever direct, asked with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Chen Yunji reasoned, "According to your competition rules, only with a bracelet can you confirm resource points. Giving me one to improve mission efficiency—why not?"

"I think you’re here to stir up trouble," Su Yejin snarled, his gaze ferocious.

Yunji, Xiao Jinsheng quickly explained, "The bracelets are issued to households, like how my family’s bracelet can only be activated by my beast husband. You’re not my beast husband,
