Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 577 It's almost time to say goodbye.
As evening approached, Hu Ming opened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a delightful morning after such a night!"
Hu Ming was a physical monster, and A Ning, who spent years on the battlefield where nothing could be seen, was also physically fit.

At the very least, he's comparable to three or five Wu Xies, those physically weaklings.

In short, although it was Aning's first time, her excellent physical condition made up for it, and it was a very enjoyable day for Hu Ming.

Therefore, Hu Ming especially likes athletic women.

Men, especially capable men, are never exactly devoted lovers.

So-called honest and good men, apart from a very small minority who genuinely love only one person from the bottom of their hearts, are mostly just men who lack the confidence to back them up.

This is determined by genes ingrained in our bones since ancient times; in order to better reproduce, being devoted to one person is a good choice.

This is determined by genes; no wonder it's Hu Ming's fault.

"Beneath the delicate, androgynous appearance lies a ferocious beast! Just like how squinty-eyed people are all monsters."

"For example, you look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid, but who would have thought that you are actually a beast with hidden fangs and claws? A beast in every sense of the word."

Aning nestled in Hu Ming's arms, looking languid, and stroked Hu Ming's clearly defined eight-pack abs, sighing sincerely.

She was a victim herself and knew all too well the terrifying power hidden within that seemingly emaciated body.

"Little brat? I'm old enough to be your dad! Come on, call me Dad."

Hu Ming lit a cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring with a sense of satisfaction.

"What about Dad?"

Seemingly having completely let go of her burdens, Ah Ning's eyes darted around, and she smiled sweetly, her voice soft and charming.

Hu Ming paused in his smoking motion, almost accidentally smoking backwards on the spot.

"Ha, men, they're all the same!"

"Whether it's friends or women, he always wants to be their father—what a pointless and perverse sense of humor!"

Ah Ning keenly noticed Hu Ming's reaction in a certain part of his body, and sneered softly.

"I've looked at your profile before. You're the same kind of ageless person as Zhang Qiling, right?"

"If you do the math, Zhang Qiling is already over 130 years old, and you're over 40, almost 50, right?"

"I really envy old monsters like you!"

Ah Ning looked at Hu Ming's youthful face with envy and muttered to herself.

Women are all the same by nature.

"So, I'll at least outlive you. Anyway, get up, wash up, and we should probably head back."

Hu Ming smiled noncommittally, listening to the noisy commotion outside, and uttered some very unpleasant words.

"So, what do you want to do with my men?"

A Ning suddenly sat up and stared intently into Hu Ming's eyes.

She wasn't the kind of cold-blooded person after all. Besides herself and her younger brother, she also worried about her subordinates who had gone through many dangers together.

"What do you want me to do?"

Hu Ming countered noncommittally, "In the end, those people are just insignificant pawns."

Now that everything has settled, even if these people are released, they won't be able to cause any trouble.

Since that's the case, Hu Ming doesn't mind giving A Ning face.

Otherwise, given his temperament, he would most likely bury these people forever in this land near the border before leaving. It's just murder; in the more than twenty years he's been in this world, the number of humans who have died at Hu Ming's hands is not small.

In the long future ahead, it is foreseeable that the concept of human life will become increasingly indifferent to Hu Ming.

"What if I said I wanted to take them with me to Beijing?"

Sensing the indifference deep in Hu Ming's eyes, A Ning felt a slight tremor in her heart and tentatively asked.

"Absolutely impossible!"

“Beijing is not like other places. That place is too sensitive. With so many foreigners, especially those with criminal records, the big shots there would never allow them to stay.”

Hu Ming stubbed out his cigarette, suppressing the anger in his lower body as he dressed, and said decisively.

Aning was not disappointed by this; such a thing was to be expected.

"But don't worry, since you're here, I'm too lazy to make things difficult for these small fry. Let Sasha take them away from China and let them do whatever they want."

Hu Ming said noncommittally.

"That's fine!"

Ah Ning nodded and stopped pressing the matter. She knew that getting those people to leave the Celestial Empire safely was the limit of what she could do.

As for staying in China to live a peaceful and stable life.
That's unrealistic. As Hu Ming said, for the sake of social stability, those in power would absolutely not feel comfortable letting these foreigners with criminal records stay in the country.

"Should we do it again?"

Having resolved her last worry, Ah Ning suddenly gave Hu Ming a charming smile and beckoned with her finger.

"She's as beautiful as a fox! Uncle San was right!"

Hu Ming sighed at the words Ah Ning couldn't understand, then... his face hardened: Get out!
It wasn't that Hu Ming was out of energy, but rather that it was really late, and he could already hear Hong Xia's footsteps.
When Hu Ming and A Ning came out hand in hand, everyone was ready to leave. After a simple dinner, the group said goodbye to A Gui's family and drove away from this land.

Along the way, the Hong family members all gave Hu Ming ambiguous smiles; these people knew their second master quite well.

Meanwhile, Wu Sansheng's men, whom Wu Xie brought along, were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"...Uncle, you're not even going to tell me. In the end, I even lost Fatty on this trip. Damn it, why am I the youngest among us and still single?"

"Oh, forget about the young man. He's an old man, and he'll probably never be with a woman in his life."

On the way, Wu Xie slumped in the back seat, utterly dejected. He glanced at Xiao Ge, who was resting with his eyes closed, and then at Hu Ming, who was driving. He felt extremely depressed.

This time, Fatty didn't go back with them. Firstly, he was still recuperating at the hospital in the nearest county town.

Secondly, I'm so happy here that I don't miss home at all!
Although the little girl Yun Cai only regarded the fat man as a close uncle, the fat man was still very satisfied!
The fat man even declared that unless Hu Ming, Wu Xie, and the other two were in a life-or-death situation, they shouldn't contact him.
"Is it because young women nowadays prefer older men?"

For once, the young man opened his eyes and tentatively spoke terrifying words in a serious and earnest tone.

"What the hell?"

Startled, Hu Ming slammed on the brakes, staring incredulously at Xiao Ge. Was this really Xiao Ge?
"It's about time to say goodbye to Hu Ming. Let me go down after we leave the mountains. Before I fulfill my final duty as Zhang Qiling, I want to take a good look at this land of China."

"Don't worry, I'll come back to see you before I leave. We agreed before I left that you would see me off. And Wu Xie, I'll come to see you one last time before I leave."

Faced with the two surprised people, the young man just smiled slightly. Having regained his memories, he seemed to have returned to being the Zhang Qiling of the Bronze Gate, who had seen through the mortal world and was now at peace.

"So I was just a side trip?!"

Wu Xie said he was very hurt! Even the faint sadness of parting was hidden behind it!
"okay!"

Hu Ming grinned and stepped on the gas.

It's not a matter of life and death, just a temporary separation. For people like them who are practically immortal, ten years is really nothing!
