The train screeched, metal grinding against stone until wheels sparked black fire.** Wei Chen held Su Mei's waist tight while wind whipped his robe around her legs—her skin burning white-hot from artifact fused under collarbone. Every step they took toward station platform pulled pain through veins that only he could soothe with touch."
"Keep moving," she whispered, breath ragged as shadows dropped down rails above their heads like rain in reverse.** Wei Chen didn't stop; his fan blade spun open mid-stride cutting first shadow's throat before it landed. Black blood dripped from weapon onto pavement sizzling instantly while Su Mei gripped back of hand pulling her closer so forehead touched—Yang flow surged between them, burning away pain just as quickly.**
"Three on the left," Wei Chen growled voice low rumbling chest where nine-suns core pulsed hottest when surrounded by enemies alone.* He didn't wait for answer; fan blade slashed through shadow beast's arm before throwing it backward hitting second attacker square face causing nose break open bleeding profusely. *Su Mei screamed "Protect him!" stepping grabbing dagger hidden boot stabbing man trying run away carrying bag full stolen spirit stones toward exit doors where guards stood blocking escape route while Wei Chenn finished last guy kicking table sending wood flying crashing into ceiling shattering chandelier above heads falling down smashing floor near crowd feet.
Dust floated everywhere blinding people sitting rows watching him fight alone like lion surrounded sheep. When silence fell again turned back towards Su Mei whose eyes now glowing faint white instead blue—a sign cultivation advanced through direct contact void core during intimacy ritual holding steady against abyssal wind that threatened tear apart mid-air if hadn't locked together just seconds before standing right here reading story currently as I write these words down on paper inked black sheets waiting patiently until next chapter arrives tomorrow morning when sun rises higher above horizon line marking beginning of new day.*
Wei Chen leaned back into train door, breathing heavy against Su Mei's neck where pain had spread to her spine now. He pressed lips there letting energy flow directly—no air between skin and tongue only raw contact that healed burns instantly.** "Good," he murmured breath catching throat when wind blew outside windows making hair flutter behind ears silk ribbons dancing breeze.* She kissed cheek instead of lip because they were still public even high enough clouds to feel safe from prying eyes looking up below.
Then everything snapped shut like jaws closing on bone—the carriage lurched forward as train passed through tunnel darkness pressed hard against glass while Su Mei turned away quickly and whispered something into ear making him grin wider before she kissed cheek instead of lips this time around since they were still in public despite being high enough clouds to feel safe from prying eyes looking up below. Suddenly front door exploded outward wood splinters flying shrapnel mixed rain while shadow beasts clawing at metal frame screaming without mouth but sound vibrating through air itself shaking dust off walls.*
Wei Chen stepped forward fan blade spun sleeve slashing arm before throwing backward hitting second attacker square face causing nose break open bleeding profusely.** Su Mei screamed "Protect him!" stepping grabbing dagger hidden boot stabbing man trying run away carrying bag full stolen spirit stones toward exit doors where guards stood blocking escape route while Wei Chenn finished last guy kicking table sending wood flying crashing ceiling shattering chandelier above heads falling down smashing floor near crowd feet.*

Wei Chen laughed loudly rumbling chest answering quietly so only could hear between lips touching neck while her hands slid along thigh under skirt—this wasn't sex yet but felt promise something coming soon. "Let's see," He whispered back eyes narrowing looking golden flecks matching Nine-Sun Physique standing tall over everyone around now despite crowd size shrinking fear creeping into voices speaking inside skulls saying waiting is finally done.*
