nXue Ying once again had fallen into a state of mania. Unlike the rest of the sentinels with him who suffered the same thing, only he had no pair and no guide to help him purify his soul domain. Feng Jing only had time to help him keep it under control but wasn't able to purify it as the latter didn't dare to enter his cousin's spiritual domain. Such a place can only be entered by the guide chosen by Xue Ying to mingle with his soul as his family Feng Jing didn't venture deeply.

nAAAAAHHHH!!!

nOnce the consciousness of Xue Ying had slowly faded, he started acting like Marshal Sirius who is like a wild beast that no one could control. The pheromones he had spread indicated that he was about to lose control and everyone who smelled it took a vigilant stance in preparation to subdue one of their leaders. Even Feng Yang, who had walked out in anger, had no other choice but to come back and check on Xue Ying.

nFollowing him are Regulus Zenith, Feng Yue, and some students who were awakened by Xue Ying's loud screams.

nFeng Yang said,

"What the hell happened to him? Isn't his mania supposed to be under control?!

"

n

"No. Keeping under control is hard enough. For A'Yang who doesn't even have a guide, the torment within his mind is almost unbearable. Jingjing's qi must have lost its effect on him.

" said Feng Yue with a worried expression on her beautiful face,

"Honey, what should we do?

" she asked.

nRegulus Zenith gently pats his wife's back in comfort but his face is a bit grim at the moment.

"It will be alright. Calm down, wife. A'Ying would be fine.

" said the crowned king of the Oberion Empire.

nIn the midst of the madness, Xue Ying completely destroyed the main camp and started attacking random people near him. The soldiers on duty tried to calm him down but the gap in their ability shows at this moment. They couldn't subdue their Lieutenant General who possessed peak SS-rank physique.

n

"Hold the Lieutenant down!

"

n

"Grabs his arms and legs!

"

n

"Push him from the back!

"

n

"Be careful! Don't hurt him too much!!

"

nAAAARRGGGHHHHHH GGGGRRRR!!!!~~~

nLieutenant General Xue Ying had acted even more wildly with everyone's presence surrounding him. Right now, his sensitivity towards other people's aura is too high. He couldn't recognize their faces but can only see them a ball of energy all surrounding him and jumping on him. For Xue Ying who is currently moving by instinct, he thought that this group of human-shaped energies is all intending to harm him. He fought back and ended up injuring the others as he couldn't recognize them anymore.

nFeng Yue said while watching the scene of her cousin being jumped on by countless soldiers trying to subdue him only to fail many times.

"They couldn't hold him back even with those numbers?

"

n

"I heard that during mania all limits of the human body are unsealed. They would be able to use the strongest power they had within their bodies but at the same time, their bodies wouldn't be able to hold on if this continues. A'Yang, let's work together. We are going to put him to sleep. Prepare a concoction to force him to slumber,

" said Regulus Zenith.

nFeng Yang said,

"Brother Zenith look for an opportunity to use that on him, I will subdue him.

" while pointing at the syringe passed by a doctor to Regulus Zenith.

nThen crowned king, Zenith, nodded his head in agreement. Based on rank, all three of them were SS-ranked Sentinels but Zenith is a weapon user while Feng Yang is a martial artist. He can fight bare-handed and knows more techniques to seal Xue Ying's movements without harming him.

nOnce the soldiers were thrown all over for the nth time, Feng Yang made his move and ran towards his cousin in just a few seconds he appeared behind Xue Ying. He kicked the back of his knees and twisted Xue Ying's arm behind him. Normally this is enough to stop someone but for Xue Ying who had gone crazy, he only thinks that Feng Yang is trying to hurt him.

nIgnoring all pain in him Xue Ying forcefully breaks free even intending to sacrifice his arm. Even if it's broken Xue Ying would do it just to attack Feng Yang. Seeing this Feng Yang had to let go of his cousin's arm preventing the latter from intentionally fractured it.

nFeng Yang's expression turned sour in disbelief,

"You're really going to break your bones just to stop me from capturing you!!!

"

nCountless complaints come out of Feng Yang's mouth as he exchanges punches and kicks with Xue Ying. The only reply he got from his cousin is inhuman growls like a wild beast who doesn't know how to think.

nGrowls~ Xue Ying caught Feng Yang off guard that the latter had to block his face with both his arms. His right arm broke after welcoming a punch from Xue Ying who used his fullest strength.

nCrack!

nFeng Yue worriedly calls,

"Yang-gege!!?

" Before her husband could stop her, she ran towards her two little brothers and had to fight with Xue Ying.

nThe Crowned Queen is a guide but as a descendant of the Phoenix Clan who was raised as fighter, she could fight as well. But her ways of fighting are different from her brother's, she used speed and knowledge of human anatomy to defeat her enemies.

nIn short, she fights them by dislocating joints to stop her opponent's movements and poke some acupoints that would numb their bodies. Because of this, she is also a qualified bonesetter.

nFeng Yue first grabbed her elder brother's collar and threw him to the sides where the soldiers caught him safely.

nFeng Yang screamed,

"Xiao Yue?!!

"

nThen everyone witnessed the scene of Feng Yue's flexible movements to dodge each attack coming from Xue Ying, her movements were akin to dance. Beautiful yet deadly. She is like a snake moving around her prey who successfully swirled around. At her, every light tap the sound of bones and joints dislocating can be heard followed by Xue Ying's agonizing screams.

nClangs! AAAHH! Cracks! GAAAHHH!!!

nThose who witnessed the hellish scene of a beautiful lady easily dislocating someone's bone followed by the sound of bone cracking her frightened some soldiers. Not only does it look painful, but it also sounds extremely tormenting.

nFeng Yang covers his eyes and mumbles,

"Ai~ now not only the stupid brat's head is aching his whole body is definitely sore.

" then he peeks at his brother-in-law from the corner of his eyes and sees him joyously smiling at his wife. His face showed proudness for what his wife had done.

"Brother Zenith~ if you don't force A'Ying to sleep he would continue to scream in pain.

"

n

"Oh? Right!

" Only then Regulus Zenith made his move and injected some sleeping concoction on Xue Ying. The latter immediately fell to the ground asleep. His limbs were weirdly twisted into some unknown angles while twitching. There is still a deep frown on his face even when he was put to sleep as if suffering from a nightmare.

nRegulus Zenith held his wife's hands and said,

"Yue'er that's amazing~

"

n

"Hehehe~ of course!

" said Feng Yue with a glowing smile.

nFeng Yang then approached the couple. Then compare the pink bubbled scene to the hellish state of his cousin.

n

"Xiao Yue, if you don't reconnect A'Ying's bones he might wake up from intense pain again,

" said Feng Yang.

nFeng Yue innocently blinked her eyes and just said,

"Oh~

" then she worked on Xue Ying again. Another round of bones clinking and clanking can be heard.

"Okay, I'm done.

"

n

"Un! You can return to sleep with Brother Zenith. I will watch over A'Ying just in case.

" said Feng Yang.

nBai Yuyan said,

"I will accompany you.

"

n

"A'Yu, you should take a rest,

" said Feng Yang.

n

"I've already woken up. It's hard to go back to sleep,

" said Bai Yuyan.

"No buts...

"

n

"Sigh~ okay. You can come with me,

" said Feng Yang, who carried Xue Ying on his shoulders.

nBai Yuyan whispered something to Lin Yven. He was asking him for some healing concoction that can instantly cure broken bones and wounds.

nLin Yven said,

"I'll send some to you. It's in our tent so I need to get back there first.

"

n

"Thank you, Yven!

" said Bai Yuyan.

nLin Yven smiled and said,

"No worries. Those are from our team's use anyway. Lord Jing just left it to me for tallying resources.

"

nRegulus Zenith said to everyone.

"Those who are injured can go to the clinic and treat your wounds. The rest return to your post and disperse!

"

n

"Yes, Your Highness!

"

nOnce the crowd had dispersed, everyone had returned back to their tents and continued their sleep. Only Feng Yang had to stay awake to look over the camp while the others is resting. He placed Xue Ying in one of the rooms in his spaceship with his fiance following after him.

nBai Yuyan watched as he put his own cousin inside the room to sleep. He also put chains on his arms and bed while laying on the bed.

n

"Is this really alright, A'Yang?

" asked Bai Yuyan worriedly.

nFeng Yang with an ugly expression nodded his head,

"For now this is the only thing we can do. Xiao Jing hasn't returned yet so no one could help him control the madness within his mind. He is an unpaired Sentinel and does not have a guide to help him.

nDo not worry the chains are long enough to allow him to freely move in this room. Moreover, even if he went crazy in this place, everything would be under control.

"

nSuddenly someone knocks in the room where they are. Bai Yuyan already knows who it was.

nKnock. Knock. Knock.

n

"You can enter, Yven,

" said Bai Yuyan.

nAs the door opens, Lin Yven indeed appeared with a soldier who escorted him along the way. The Sentinel soldier was a bit shy towards Lin Yven after all the young man had already become an unpaired Guide. For a single Sentinel like him, being kind to guides who don't have a partner means an opportunity.

nThe Sentinel Soldier said,

"The general is this way, Student Lin.

" with a smile.

nLin Yven remained polite but his expression was void before the soldier.

n

"Thank you sir for escorting me,

" said Lin Yven and walked into the room without looking back. The sentinel soldier was a bit depressed as he took his leave.

"A'Yan here's what you want. I've also brought enough materials but I suggest that you go to the infirmary for other tools to reconstruct a broken bone.

"

nFeng Yang who witnessed the scene whispered to his lover,

"Your friend is quite cold hah...

"

n

"He is just not Yven's type. Mind you, don't you dare pair up my friends without my permission,

" whispered back Bai Yuyan as he pinched his lover's waist.

n

"Hiss~ I won't. I promise I won't!

" said Feng Yang.

nLin Yven said,

"A'Yan?

"

n

"Ah~

" Bai Yuyan happily receives the healing concoction of the highest grade from Lin Yven while thanking his friend,

"Thanks, Yven. With this, I could treat A'Yang's broken hand.

"

n

"You have my gratitude Student Lin,

" said Feng Yang.

"But I cannot leave this room at the moment.

"

nLin Yven said,

"I will look after him while you guys are in the infirmary. There is an alarm here anyway. I can call for help if he wakes up. The sleeping concoction effects are still activated and he won't wake up for now. Go and have A'Yan treat your arms first.

"

nBai Yuyan said,

"This... Won't it be dangerous?

"

n

"I will be fine. The faster you leave the faster you return,

" said Lin Yven.

nFeng Yang said,

"That is also true. We will be back as soon as possible.

"

n

"Yven, please be careful. Call us if something happened,

" said Bai Yuyan.

nLin Yven walked inside and pulled a chair then brought out a set of tea and a book to pass time. Seeing the young man making himself at home the couple could only leave with a helpless smile on their faces.

nSilence ascended in the area the moment the others had left. Lin Yven who was true to himself had passed his time reading and enjoying his tea but when hours passed and the two still haven't returned, he already knew that they were doing something else. Bai Yuyan and Feng Yang are a pair that haven't seen each other for a long time. It is normal that they would miss each other for being separated for days.

nLin Yven chooses to stay for that same reason. He wanted to give the couple a breather and let Feng Yang spend time with his friend. He knew how much Bai Yuyan misses his lover and would always see the latter looking at his fiancé's photo every night before they slept.

n

"It would take a while before those two to return,

" murmured Lin Yven as he observes the sleeping Lieutenant General sleeping on the bed with deep frowns on his forehead. Obviously, Xue Ying looks like he is suffering from a nightmare, an endless one due to his mania.

nLin Yven squinted his eyes and decided to check on the groaning man on the bed. He has chained, after all, he would be safe unless the man suddenly wakes up which is impossible thanks to the potent sleeping concoction from Feng Jing.

nIt is the same concoction he used on high-level zergs before. Those things didn't even wake up when his knife had cut off their heads and limbs. That's how effective those sleeping potions are.

nPulling a chair over, Lin Yven extended his hand and gently massaged the knitted forehead of the soldier before him. He slowly poured over his newly attained spiritual qi to help the man soothe his crazy qi. He did it little by little as he was not proficient in using it, He is a newly awakened guide after all.

nAfter doing this for a few minutes he noticed that the sleeping man's expression slightly turned better with his help. Lin Yven smiled upon witnessing this. He had always admired this person. It seems he knew Xue Ying from the past.

n

"I am finally able to smell your scent. The scent of snow and the circus. It's not bad. I hope this can help you ease your nightmares even for a bit, kind soldier..

" mumbled Lin Yven.
