In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

When Xu Shi chose to reveal the truth now, he had long anticipated a similar outcome.

After all, he planted the seed himself, so he was quite confident about how well it would grow.

He once remarked that the assassin girl's situation was quite unique. She was emotionally entangled with Shen He, but mentally she had a masochistic tendency that only appeared when facing herself. He wondered what she would become when the loop was completed.

Now the answer is revealed.

Her loyalty to herself was second to none.

"come over."

Thinking of this, he beckoned to Lin Yue with interest.

Lin Yue didn't get up, but shuffled over little by little. After hesitating for a moment, she finally followed her sister's example and crawled down to snuggle under him.

"So nice."

Xu Shi leaned down, lifted her chin, and admired her slightly shy expression with satisfaction.

Well, it's not entirely true that I'm completely satisfied.

Back in the day, Zhuge Liang managed to capture and release Meng Huo seven times, but this little assassin girl has fallen so completely after only two attempts... Who's going to fill the gap in my entertainment?

Oh well, the result is good.

The despicable victor thought so.

"Owner?"

Lin Yue was still a little at a loss. She was in the shy period after her mindset had just changed. Although she was willing to submit to the man in front of her, she was still a little embarrassed to say it, so she could only ask him in a half-pleading tone.

"What's wrong? You don't seem too happy?"

Xu Shike knew her thoughts all too well, and couldn't help but have a wicked idea. He intensified his actions and teased her with his words.

"No, no..."

Lin Yue shook her head repeatedly, cautiously probing, "I... I just... Master doesn't want to do anything to me?"

"Like I said before, it's not about what I want to do, but what you want me to do for you."

Xu Shi pretended to be confused, saying, "There are only the two of us here, Miss Lin Yue, you can speak your mind freely."

"I……"

Lin Yue pursed her lips. She wasn't stupid; she knew Xu Shi was deliberately keeping her hanging on.

Doesn't this guy know what I want? Why does he have to tell me? He's really awful.

The assassin girl was hesitant and didn't want to talk.

She didn't say anything, and didn't care, just letting her suffer there.

Well.

Ultimately, the ever-growing desire triumphed over reason.

Lin Yue stood up unsteadily and slowly unbuttoned her clothes.

"Master... hit me, punish me..."

She opened her arms wide without hesitation, ready to welcome her new life.

"Okay."

Xu Shi let go of her hand and picked up the small whip that he had prepared earlier.

Now you know why the meeting place was chosen to be in jail? (doge)

Snapped.

……

Hearing the seductive sounds coming from inside, Su Lin, who was waiting outside, couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Xu Shi's claim that there are only two people here is the biggest lie. Isn't she human? No, the young master is the real dog.

Anyway, she could hear everything clearly... Heaven knows what materials these "Snake Ring" cells are made of; the soundproofing seems to be adaptive, so she can't hear anything she wants to hear, but the things she doesn't want to hear keep drilling into her ears...

This greatly displeased Director Su. She was already worried about the young master yesterday, and this incident today only made her mood more complicated.

Humph.

Her loyalty wouldn't allow her to leave, so she could only sullenly cross her arms and lean against the wall, trying her best to control herself and not lose her composure.

Miss Su Lin was caught in a deep dilemma.

Unfortunately, the man couldn't appreciate his efforts, but the assassin girl's reaction pleased him greatly.

Perhaps due to the pressure accumulating in her heart for too long, coupled with a complete 180-degree shift in her mindset, Lin Yue seemed to be getting out of control, and her desires far exceeded Xu Shi's expectations.

To be fair, her masochistic tendencies were definitely forced out by Xu. And you still say you're not a bad person? Even the worst person will feel some guilt.

However, seeing her enjoying herself, Xu Shi's guilt naturally lessened considerably.

In addition, Miss Lin Yue's tolerance was exceptionally high, so her last bit of shame vanished—just kidding, she was a combatant after all, and her physical fitness wasn't just talk...

I don’t know how much time has passed.

"Well……"

Lin Yue let out a long sigh, her dazed eyes refocused, and she took the initiative to snuggle into Xu Shi's arms.

"Are you feeling better?"

Xu Shi thoughtfully took a wet wipe and wiped her down, and as usual, looked for the holy marks on her body.

Lin Yue's stigma is located in an interesting position, on the back of her neck, with cloud-patterned wings soaring into the sky.

That's all. Xu Shi controlled his strength very well, and didn't even leave a red mark.

Just kidding, this is for fun, not torture. As long as it satisfies the little assassin girl's mind, it's fine. It's not about actually killing her... Besides, what kind of marks can low-temperature wax leave?

"Well, thank you, Master."

Lin Yue took the water he offered and drank it all in one gulp, then snuggled closer to him.

Unlike others, she wasn't surprised or amazed by what she had gained; it was a natural and heartfelt acceptance.

Of course, it's also largely because she's still enjoying her leisure time...

She swore that she had never felt so satisfied since Xu Shi let her go... The feeling of him personally bullying her was completely different from the feeling of her relieving stress on her own.

She even couldn't help but recall the first time Xu Shi tied her up. How could she have felt pain back then? It was clearly such a comfortable thing...

"I still prefer you calling me that devilish bastard with a dark face."

Xu Shi was happy to see her like this; it was his duty to make his little sister, who had been suffering so much, feel happy and joyful... However, he couldn't help but tease her.

There's no way around it, you can never get tired of seeing this kind of contrast.

"I...you were a bad person to begin with, it's me who changed, not you."

Lin Yue was indeed amused and began to complain coquettishly.

Xu Shi patted her head in response, and during his moment of clarity, he took her left hand, asking, "Did you reattach your severed finger?"

He knew about it, but he hadn't paid much attention when he went to Sin City to arrest people last time, and was slightly surprised when he saw it.

"hold head high."

Lin Yue responded softly.

"So that you can leave Shenhe with a clear conscience?"

Xu Shi gently examined it for a moment, then asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"……Um."

Lin Yue blinked. You knew it all along, yet you still asked me. You're really wicked…

"Hi."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shi couldn't help but sigh. In fact, the assassin girl's personality was quite straightforward, as evidenced by the fact that she could do such a thing... No wonder she had such a big change after being corrupted; she was more serious than anyone else about the things she set her mind to.

Looking back now, do you still think it was worth it?

He asked with ill intent.

"Hmm... I felt it was worth it back then, at least I didn't owe him anything anymore..."

Lin Yue was an honest child, and she didn't lie when he asked her that question. "But now... I feel it's not worth it if I'm only loyal to you."

"It's good that you think that way."

Xu Shi wasn't angry, and even added a word of advice, "Don't do such foolish things again, not even for my sake."

"Punishing yourself for other people's mistakes is something only a fool would do, you know?"

"Lin Yue understands."

The assassin girl humbly accepted the instruction and nodded gently, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

That's the truth. Apart from his mother, only Xu Shi had ever said that. Even Shen He hadn't.

"How is he now...?"

When Shen He was mentioned, she couldn't help but ask him a question.

"Dead, I killed him myself."

Xu Shi didn't hide anything from her and calmly replied, "If you want to see it, I'll take you there later."

"……No."

Lin Yue shook her head. It was clear that her obedience to Xu Shi had made her let go of many things. She was only asking this question because she wanted an answer, to put an end to the past.

Actually, all of this was destined a long time ago... Thinking about it, she felt quite emotional. It was already a long time since she and Shen He parted ways. And the truth was just as Xu Shi said: you care about him, but he may not, and he will treat you like a thief.

On the contrary, Xu Shi, although he had done bad things, never made excuses. Moreover, it cannot be denied that he used Lin Xing to help him take revenge on Zhang Shijun and climbed up the social ladder step by step. He said he relied on his sister, but in reality, he relied on him...

Anyway, she realized this after everything was laid out, and she couldn't lie to herself anymore.

What's wrong with him? Is he all bark and no bite? No, that doesn't seem right either; he wasn't exactly gentle when he bullied me...

From this perspective, submitting to him is not an accident, but an inevitability.

Thinking this way, she felt much better. The name Shen He no longer stirred any emotion in her heart. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before it faded away and disappeared completely.
