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

Actually, she didn't even remember that she was forced by Xu Shi to fight Luo Yu last time. Instead, she stood up to protect her brother, but ended up suffering from the aftereffects of having her powers devoured, and in the end, her brother had to stay by her side day and night to take care of her... She was happy, but she was also really embarrassed.

So, since the main target is gone, it doesn't hurt to kill a few more small fry. Xiao Qin isn't someone to be trifled with!

It's best to leave the injury a little unhealed, since I haven't been spending much time alone with my brother lately. If there's no opportunity, we have to create one...

In contrast, Ye Shanshan with curly hair wasn't as confident or as organized as her.

She's still a bit confused.

Who am I? Where am I? Why is our company's chairman suddenly a better fighter than me?

It can only be said that Xie Qingyan's combat power has improved by leaps and bounds, which left Little Curly Hair at a loss for what to do.

After all, in addition to helping with work matters, she was also the other party's most capable bodyguard—especially after going to sea, when the protection work took up the majority of her duties.

But look at Xie Qingyan now, does she still seem to need her protection?

Ye Shanshan had no doubt that she would be hung up and beaten by her.

So here's the question: if Xie Qingyan no longer needs her protection, then wouldn't her value as a personal secretary be greatly reduced?

Presumably, when she returns to Night City, Xie, who has awakened into a fierce woman, will politely request to be fired because she entered the office with her left foot first. After that, she will become a pitiful little thing that no one wants.

Money doesn't matter, but if this happens, won't I lose the opportunity to get close to Xu Shi legitimately in the future?

...屮!

"Don't do that kind of thing!"

Realizing how serious the situation was, the curly-haired monster let out a cry.

Absolutely not!

So the only way to change this is to quickly prove that you can still shine.

So, Ms. Ye Shanshan, who had almost become an outsider, put in 1200% effort and joined the chaos.

The water ghost slithered into the shadows and launched a surprise attack from behind, striking mercilessly, one attack after another.

Everyone was very enthusiastic about the fight.

"So I shouldn't have come, huh?"

Jiang Chengcheng, who lacked combat skills, hid behind Xu Shi and uttered a rare self-pitying remark.

If Xu Shi hadn't also been idly watching the show, she might have gone crazy.

"Everyone has their own expertise, right? Isn't every gun here one of your creations?"

Xu Shi offered timely encouragement, "Of course, if you really can't stay idle, you can also cheer for everyone."

Instantly, an image of Jiang Chengcheng in a cheerleader outfit, holding a bouquet of flowers, popped into his mind.

"...No way, if I'm going to cheer you on, it'll be just for you alone."

The First Madam's thinking was always in sync with his, "It seems we've never actually tried this before, and we weren't prepared for it..."

The topic inexplicably became a bit inappropriate for children, but that's fine, the battlefield wouldn't be complete without a mood-setting group.

"Really? How about we make it up later?"

"Okay, okay... watch out!"

Jiang Chengcheng was responding shyly when she suddenly saw something extraordinary and raised her voice to warn her.

Indeed, on the battlefield not far away, the four Silver-ranked warriors exchanged glances and then dispersed.

One of them even abandoned Xie Qingyan and headed straight for Xu Shi!

It must be said that although they were only at the level of late-stage cancer, they were still battle-hardened veterans. As the fight went on, they realized that they could no longer get entangled with this crazy woman!

The more people there are, the more she can steal from, making it easier for her to deal with them. That's why it was so difficult to subdue her before.

On the contrary, if only one person is left to fight her, it will create a mirror image situation, which can give them some advantages.

After all, it's easier for the person using a superpower to use it. Compared to Xie Qingyan, who was meeting them for the first time, they knew better how to use it flexibly.

If you can't even do this, then just send yourself away in your own happiness, beep beep beep.

More importantly, what's the point of getting entangled with Xie Qingyan? The priority is to deal with Xu Shi, the leader of this heresy!

The silver-clad figure that was heading straight for Xu Shi had no name, but Xu Shi knew its abilities: it was a Pan Feng Plus version, with super-fast speed.

The sharp blade, accompanied by a strong wind, came hurtling towards him, about to pierce his throat in a second.

The speed was so fast that it left people with little time to react.

However, Xu Shi seemed not to have intended to react, and did not even belatedly activate the protective force field.

He just stood there.

Someone stepped in front of him and sent the nameless Silver Saint flying with a single move.

"Master, are you okay?"

As the beautiful figure gradually became clearer, she uttered a long-lost voice, "Please forgive Su Lin for being late, young master, please punish me!"

The ultimate main heroine is making a limited-time return!

Chapter 289 What?! The intelligence was fake?!

2023-10-11

"Arlene?!"

Upon seeing the person appear before them, the most surprised person was not Xu Shi, but Jiang Chengcheng.

Clearly, although a communication network has now been established between the Hualan Empire and the City of Night Sin, she had never received a similar message before.

"How did you come?"

"You came by boat."

Su Lin tossed her hair and, unusually, cracked a joke.

It's clear that she was in a good mood after seeing her best friend.

Of course, what made her even happier was standing in front of Xu Shi again and protecting the young master she had been longing for... For her, this sense of accomplishment far exceeded staying in Night City to manage the "Snake Ring" for him.

Why didn't you just get off the ship?

Xu Shi also laughed, but he didn't mince words, asking in a serious tone.

Of course, he summoned the people—since he was determined to fight the Papacy to the death, he naturally had to make thorough preparations and maximize his own fighting strength as much as possible.

Nobody says cargo ships can only carry cargo, right? The girls who stayed behind in Night City of Sin always said they wanted to come and see, so we might as well come along.

That's why he wasn't worried about his safety at all just now. After all, he had a backup plan, so what was there to be afraid of?

The reason I didn't tell anyone beforehand was to catch them off guard. Surprises aren't just for the enemy; we should also share the spoils with our own people.

"Because some people didn't want me to come in the first place."

Director Su retorted defiantly, clearly still dissatisfied with the decision to leave her to look after the house when Xu Shi went to sea.

"Where are you now?"

Xu Shi wasn't buying it, but his tone was quite lighthearted.

It was a last resort to keep Su Lin at the time; who wouldn't want to take their family and go on a long voyage at sea?

But at that time, Night City had just settled down, and it was impossible to manage it without a reliable person. Apart from Su Lin, there really was no other suitable candidate.

So for him, isn't this also a kind of regret? Especially just now, he also realized that the feeling of being protected by Sister Su Lin seems to be a little different.

Fortunately, the separation wasn't very long. Compared to the more than twenty years they had been together, less than a year apart was nothing... However, she was a little different. Her hair had grown a bit longer and was permed, and her light makeup gave her a more mature and elegant look.

She does fit his image of a "first wife" quite well—intellectual and gentle... Well, kicking someone away right after her first appearance doesn't exactly make her seem gentle, but she certainly gave him a good impression.

"..."

Despite his maturity, Director Su was still easily amused and didn't know what to say, but his cheeks involuntarily flushed.

Why is the young master still like this... She had already planned how to start the conversation after such a long separation, but she still ended up saying things she didn't mean. What's going on?

"Enough! What are you doing?!"

A resentful voice suddenly rang out. Looking up, Bai Yin, who had no name, shakily got up from the ground, as if he wanted to devour these people alive.

We're at war right now, a life-or-death battle, okay? How did it suddenly turn into a romance drama?

Even though they weren't far apart, from the moment Su Lin appeared, he felt a pathetic barrier between himself and Xu Shi's side, making them feel out of place like a sandy ravine.

The desolate and bloody dock was suddenly filled with the sweet and sour smell of love.

"Die! I'll kill your entire sack!"

Blinded by rage, he recklessly attacked the group again.

"...It's so noisy."

Su Lin's face darkened, and before she could finish speaking, she had already flashed behind him.

The hand chopped down cleanly and swiftly, aiming straight for the vital point on the spine.

"!"

Startled, Bai Yin quickly activated his super-speed mode, barely dodging the opponent's powerful attack before it landed on him.

Before he could even catch his breath, he saw Su Lin appear behind him again.

This time it's a gun.

"Bang bang bang-"

The man dodged and fired with fluid grace. Even the nameless Silver Bro, with his incredible speed, couldn't dodge in time and, despite managing to avoid vital areas, still took a bullet.

"hiss--"

When voices calling for action to stop global warming came, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

Because he finally realized that his pride and joy, his super speed, was being severely restrained by Su Lin.

His main strength lies in speed, but it's ineffective against Su Lin—as long as she can track his movements, no matter how fast he is, she can be easily caught.
