Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?
Chapter 136 The calm before the storm
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the tree-lined avenue of the city park, making Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's figures particularly slender. The joy of victory gradually faded away, and an indescribable tranquility enveloped the two of them.
"Mengmeng, are you scared?" Xiao Yichen asked softly, with a hint of barely perceptible worry in his tone.
Chu Mengmeng tilted her head and blinked her big eyes, seeming a little puzzled: "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of the road ahead, afraid of unknown dangers..." Xiao Yichen's voice became lower and lower, as if he was talking to himself.
"Brother Yichen, what are you talking about?" Chu Mengmeng pulled Xiao Yichen's sleeve and smiled playfully, "With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Xiao Yichen's heart warmed up, and he held Chu Mengmeng's soft little hand with his backhand, with a gentle smile on his lips. Yes, as long as they are together, what is there to be afraid of?
The two of them strolled on a path covered with fallen leaves. The golden light of the setting sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows on them. The laughter of children in the distance added a touch of vitality to this quiet scene.
"Brother Yichen, look, the children are playing happily." Chu Mengmeng pointed at the children playing not far away, with a warm light in her eyes, "Isn't this ordinary happiness what we are protecting?"
Xiao Yichen followed Chu Mengmeng's gaze and a gratified smile appeared on his face. Yes, isn't everything they did just to protect the peace of this city and the happy smiles on people's faces?
At the same time, in the City Guardian Base, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were buried in a pile of documents.
"Wan'er, look at this report. Although Xiao Yifeng was defeated, his remaining energy fluctuations did not seem to have completely disappeared." Su Mubai frowned, his tone revealing a hint of solemnity.
Lin Wan'er took the report and read it carefully, with a hint of worry gradually appearing on her face. "You mean, he might come back again?"
"I can't rule out this possibility." Su Mubai pondered for a moment and continued, "Also, I found some strange energy fluctuations that seemed to come from other places in the city..."
Lin Wan'er's heart was suddenly overshadowed. Could it be that a new crisis was quietly approaching?
As night fell and the lights came on, the city gradually returned to its former prosperity. People took to the streets, enjoying the hard-earned tranquility. Little did they know that beneath this calm surface, a bigger storm might be brewing...
After the Xiao Yifeng incident, the city seemed to have gained a new life. The citizens came out of their initial panic, and the streets regained their former bustle. People gathered in twos and threes, talking about the strange events that had happened recently, and their words were full of gratitude and admiration for the city's guardians.
"I heard that the city guardians all have special skills, they can control water, fire, thunder and lightning, and they can also teleport instantly!"
"That's right! I saw them fighting that monster with my own eyes. It was just like watching a movie!"
"Thanks to them, we are safe and sound. Thank you so much!"
Various thank-you activities were held in the city one after another, and citizens spontaneously organized themselves to send flowers, gifts and blessings to the city guardians. The city guardian base was flooded with flowers and thank-you letters almost every day, and every member's face was filled with happy smiles.
However, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were not carried away by victory. They knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and greater challenges were still to come. In order to cope with possible crises in the future, they decided to use this time to strengthen the training of the city guardian team and improve the overall strength of the team.
"This battle has made us realize our own shortcomings," Xiao Yichen said seriously at a team meeting, "We must strengthen our training and improve our own strength to better protect the safety of this city and its citizens."
The team members nodded in agreement. They had all experienced the life-and-death battle with Xiao Yifeng and knew the importance of their own strength.
Therefore, in the following days, the City Guardian Base was filled with a tense and orderly training atmosphere. Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er developed different training plans based on the characteristics of each member, from physical training to skill training, and then to teamwork training, striving to comprehensively improve the team's combat effectiveness.
Chu Mengmeng also devoted herself to the training. She knew that she had the responsibility of protecting the city and could not slack off. During a training session, Chu Mengmeng unexpectedly discovered that she could control a new kind of power. This power was powerful and mysterious, and it made her full of confidence in the future battles...
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the tree-lined avenue of the city park, making Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's figures particularly slender. The joy of victory gradually faded away, and an indescribable tranquility enveloped the two of them. (Repeated in the previous article, it is recommended to delete)

Chu Mengmeng also devoted herself to the training. She knew that she had the responsibility of protecting the city and could not slack off. In a training session on controlling water flow, Chu Mengmeng tried to use all her strength to converge a stream of water into a thin water line. Suddenly, the water line trembled violently, and a powerful energy surged from her body. The water line instantly turned into a dazzling golden color, as if a golden dragon was tumbling and roaring in the air.
"Mengmeng, are you okay?" Xiao Yichen, who had been watching Chu Mengmeng from the side, noticed something was wrong at the first moment and hurried forward to support her.
“I’m fine…” Chu Mengmeng was still in shock. She looked at her trembling hands with disbelief in her eyes. “Brother Yichen, did you see that? I seem to have… awakened a new power!”
Xiao Yichen nodded, his eyes full of surprise and worry: "I saw it, this power is very strong, but also full of unknowns. Mengmeng, you have to promise me that you can't use this power easily in the future, understand?"
Chu Mengmeng nodded obediently, but her heart was full of curiosity and expectation about this new power. She vaguely felt that this power would become a powerful helper in her future battles.
However, just when everything seemed calm, a mysterious energy fluctuation suddenly appeared on the edge of the city. This fluctuation was extremely powerful and instantly broke the tranquility of the city, as if foreshadowing the coming of a new crisis.
"What's going on?" Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er, who were training, also noticed the abnormality. They stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction where the energy fluctuations came from with serious expressions.
"Oh no, something's wrong!" Xiao Yichen's face changed, and he pulled Chu Mengmeng's hand, "Let's go take a look!"
The four of them quickly rushed to the edge of the city, only to see a huge black vortex appear in the originally calm sky. In the center of the vortex, powerful energy continued to surge out, as if it was going to swallow up the entire city.
"This energy... is so powerful!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed, her eyes full of worry.
"It's several times stronger than Xiao Yifeng's power!" Su Mubai's face was solemn and he clenched the sword in his hand.
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, and saw unprecedented solemnity in each other's eyes. They knew that the real peace was still far from coming, and a more severe test was waiting for them...
The black vortex was like a huge mouth of the abyss, greedily swallowing the surrounding light, which was daunting. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stood side by side on the edge of the city, staring at this ominous energy fluctuation, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in their hearts.
"Mengmeng, you stay here. Su Mubai and I will go investigate the situation." Xiao Yichen said, and was about to turn around and leave.
"No, Brother Yichen, I want to go with you!" Chu Mengmeng grabbed Xiao Yichen's sleeve and said firmly, "I can't let you take risks alone."
Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng's worried eyes, and his heart warmed, but he still shook his head: "No, this energy fluctuation is too strange, I can't let you take risks. You stay here with Wan'er, protect yourself, and wait for me to come back."
"But……"
"No buts!" Xiao Yichen's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
Chu Mengmeng wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Lin Wan'er who was standing beside her: "Mengmeng, just listen to Yi Chen. He is doing this for your own good. We will wait for you to come back here."
Chu Mengmeng had no choice but to nod and agree.
Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai looked at each other, and their figures flashed, turning into two streams of light and rushing towards the direction of the black vortex.
"Will they be okay?" Chu Mengmeng looked in the direction where the two people disappeared, her heart full of worry.
"Don't worry, Mengmeng. Yichen and Su Mubai are both top city guardians, nothing will happen to them." Lin Wan'er comforted, but she herself was also filled with anxiety.
The energy fluctuations of the black vortex became stronger and stronger, as if something terrible was about to break out of its shell. Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er did not dare to be careless. They stood back to back, watching everything around them vigilantly.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely dark. However, Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai still hadn't returned, and no news came.
"Why hasn't he come back yet? Has something happened?" Chu Mengmeng was extremely anxious and wished she could fly to Xiao Yichen immediately.
"Don't worry, Mengmeng, they may have just encountered some troubles. Let's wait a little longer." Although Lin Wan'er said comforting words, she felt more and more uneasy in her heart.
At this moment, the energy fluctuations of the black vortex suddenly became extremely violent, and the whole city seemed to be shaking violently.
"Oh no, something happened!" Chu Mengmeng's face changed. She no longer cared about anything else. She grabbed Lin Wan'er's hand and ran towards the direction of the black vortex.
"Mengmeng, wait for me!" Lin Wan'er followed closely behind, and the two of them turned into two streams of light and disappeared into the night.
What secrets are hidden at the other end of the black vortex? Where did Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai go? Can Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er find them? All of this is still unknown...
