CHAPTER 224: CHAPTER 224: THIS IS YOUR HOME

Yu Nian held Wang Xinxia’s hand and said, "Sister Xin Xia, come with us, staying here isn’t a long-term solution."

Wang Xinxia looked back at her mother and younger siblings, but ultimately shook her head.

The woman, recalling the past, was already in tears.

She got out of bed, came to Wang Xinxia’s side, and choked up, "Xin Xia, you should go with them. We’re all burdens, sooner or later we’ll drag you down. You should go with them."

"Only by going with them can you truly live well. Now that your dad and brother’s vengeance is avenged, we can go see your dad. These people are our benefactors, stay with them and repay them well. Be good, listen!"

"No, I won’t, I won’t!"

Wang Xinxia threw herself into her mother’s arms, crying, "No, Mom, I won’t! I don’t want to leave you!"

Ye Chen and Yu Nian exchanged a glance, and Yu Nian gave a wry smile.

Lin Nuoyi also stepped forward and said to the two, "You’ve misunderstood us. That’s not what we meant. We mean all of you come with us."

Wang Xinxia and the woman heard this, looked up, somewhat confused.

Yu Nian said gently, "This is the situation. We’ve established a safety zone nearby with many ordinary people and numerous Pet Tamers from the Star Alliance guarding it. It’s very safe, with all necessities available, and many young people there undergoing training to prepare for summoning pets at eighteen."

Wang Xinxia suddenly perked up, her eyes twinkling as she asked, "Sister Yu Nian, is what you said true?"

"Of course!" Yu Nian replied with a warm smile.

The woman’s eyes also lit up with hope.

After all, with a safety zone and protection, who would want to stay in this dark basement.

Yu Nian checked the time and said, "Ye Chen, it’s already 4 PM. Shouldn’t we just head back?"

Ye Chen smiled and nodded, fully supporting Yu Nian’s kind actions.

They left the basement with Wang Xinxia and the others, coming outside.

The woman and her two children were still somewhat unaccustomed to seeing sunlight after so long, instinctively squinting their eyes.

After a while, the three slowly adjusted.

The boy was named Wang Hao, and the girl was named Wang Qian.

Zhu Qiang, as the Star Alliance’s Vice Alliance Leader, wrapped an arm around Wang Hao’s shoulder, talking to him about the safety zone.

Wang Qian quietly listened by his side.

The two were very eager to hear about the Star Alliance from Zhu Qiang.

Perhaps timid or impressed by the aura of strength, Wang Hao timidly asked, "Brother Qiang, could you tell me about how you eliminated the Cyan Alliance?"

"Of course, no problem!" Zhu Qiang said heartily, then began to speak to Wang Hao with gusto.

Of course, he added embellishments, making himself sound incredibly amazing, suggesting without him, they couldn’t have defeated the Cyan Alliance.

From describing himself as rescuing the situation to turning things around in times of despair.

Listening to Zhu Qiang’s account, Wang Hao’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

"Brother Qiang, I want to become a Pet Tamer like you in the future!"

"Haha!"

Zhu Qiang laughed proudly and said, "Alright, work hard. Once we’re back, I’ll let you join the Preparation Army and receive the best training. After joining, just mention my name, Brother Qiang’s your big brother; I guarantee no one will dare bully you!"

"Thank you, Brother Qiang! From now on, you’re my brother, Wang Hao’s!" Wang Hao said, somewhat moved.

Yu Nian and Ye Chen walked at the back, with some envy in Yu Nian’s eyes.

Ye Chen noticed Yu Nian’s sadness.

"Missing your family?"

Yu Nian’s eyes reddened a bit, nodding.

Ye Chen didn’t know how to comfort her and could only pat her shoulder lightly, saying softly, "Think openly. From now on, the Star Alliance is your family, and we are all your family."

Yu Nian squeezed out a smile and wiped away the tears that were about to fall.

Yu Nian suddenly held Ye Chen’s hand, and though surprised, Ye Chen didn’t react.

Before long, they arrived outside the safety zone gates.

Wang Hao, looking at the majestic city walls, was very shocked inside.

"Is this the safety zone?"

Zhu Qiang puffed out his chest and said with a smile, "That’s right, this is our safety zone. How is it, impressive or what?"

Wang Hao nodded with shining eyes.

Six people stood at the entrance, three holding long spears, while the other three carried crossbows on their backs, all dressed in uniform military combat suits.

As Zhu Qiang passed with Wang Hao, the six men immediately saluted, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Vice Alliance Leader Zhu!"

The smile on Zhu Qiang’s face grew richer, and he smiled and nodded at the six, saying good good good.

As Yu Nian, Ye Chen, and others entered, the six also greeted them one by one.

These six were all members of the Star Alliance, with guards taking turns daily.

Ye Chen looked at Lin Nuoyi with some confusion and asked, "How did you manage to unify the outfits so quickly?"

Lin Nuoyi said with a bit of pride, "Of course, after all, we’re a regular army. These outfits were collected by Yang Ming and the others. They even have bulletproof vests!"

"We’re a regular army, so we have to have uniform clothing, and they each have a set of Two Stars advanced defense gear. I gathered them piece by piece from all members, but we only have six sets, so they rotate wearing them every day to guard."

Ye Chen gave Lin Nuoyi a thumbs up and said, "Impressive!"

Indeed, Lin Nuoyi had a natural talent for management.

Wang Xinxia approached Yu Nian and asked a bit shyly, "Sister Yu Nian, where will we live?"

Yu Nian looked at Lin Nuoyi, who came to Wang Xinxia’s side and smiled, "I’ll handle this. I’m the manager of the Star Alliance; you can ask me anything."

With that, Lin Nuoyi opened the Monster Chat Room, where a map-like grid appeared, clearly showing the layout of the safety zone, including building information.

Most of it was marked in red, which Ye Chen understood to mean already occupied.

Lin Nuoyi clicked on a room on the sixth floor of building two and said, "You can stay here from now on. It’s a three-bedroom, one living room. It might be a bit small, but it should be enough for you!"

"No problem, Sister Nuoyi, as long as we have a place to stay!" Wang Xinxia said hastily, afraid of causing trouble.

This three-bedroom, one-living room was much better than their previous living conditions.

Wang Xinxia suddenly remembered something and asked, "Sister Nuoyi, you said you’re the manager, and Brother Qiang is the Vice Alliance Leader, then Brother Ye Chen is...?"

"That’s right, Ye Chen is the Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance, and your sister Yu Nian is also the Vice Alliance Leader. Iron Bull is the Grand General, and the five of us are actually the founders of the Star Alliance!" Lin Nuoyi said, patting Wang Xinxia’s head with a smile.

"Ah!"

Wang Xinxia’s eyes widened instantly. Just dealing with an Elder of a league was already hard enough, and yet... the people in front of her were actually the founders of the Star Alliance!
