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

He held her in his arms and purred her for a while, and Xu Shi also noticed Su Lin, who was restless beside him.

Compared to the uninhibited little black rabbit, Director Su was naturally more reserved, only gazing at him affectionately without making any other moves.

what.

Xu Shi was fully aware of her thoughts. He patted Gu Yi to indicate that her time was up, and then opened his arms to Su Lin.

"Come on, let me give you a hug?"

Honestly, it's been a while since we last met. How come you've gone back to your old hypocritical ways?

This is not good; they need to be properly educated after this is over.

"……it is good."

In fact, Director Su was no match for him. As soon as she heard him say that, she immediately hugged him shyly.

It was only then that she realized the young master was no longer the same person he used to be; what she had just done was simply to give herself a chance to protect him... Hmm...

"Young Master, I miss you so much."

She murmured.

"What a coincidence, me too."

Xu Shi hugged her tighter and responded.

Seeing how affectionate they were, no one else felt jealous.

Who told her to be the undisputed First Madam? Now that she's here, all the previous seniority-based titles should be put aside for now.

"Hey, why didn't you hug me?"

However, there were still some discordant voices, and Xie Qingyan was seen with a sour face, looking indignant.

"Isn't our Cold War still going on?"

Xu Shi exclaimed in surprise.

"...Xu Shi!"

The woman instantly bristled, "That's enough!"

Are you planning to turn this fake into a real one? Believe me or not, I really will commit domestic violence!

Xu Shi burst into laughter.

This warmth didn't last long. Although the battle here was over, it wasn't the end, but only the beginning.

They did manage to eliminate four Templar Knights in one go, but the Papacy's true main force had not yet been eradicated. Even Luo Yu, who was crippled at the start, managed to slip away while everyone was distracted.

Damn it, you're not a fair guy, you actually chose to back down and run away?

But that's not a problem. Aside from the fact that he's already at his limit, where could he possibly run off to? He'd just have to seek refuge at his base.

And that place was Xu Shi's next destination: Laos!

"Take a quick rest and get ready to leave."

he ordered.

"it is good."

Everyone responded in unison, and took the opportunity to relax and chat idly.

The main reason was the long-awaited reunion with Su Lin and Gu Yi. The girls also had things to say to each other. Although they had been in contact since communication was restored, they would definitely have more to talk about if they were face to face.

"Speaking of which, is Shen Qin... definitely alright now?"

Su Lin was most concerned about this issue, and asked with some worry.

"what are you talking about?"

Shen Qin's younger sister retorted, "What problem could I possibly have? Are you worried I'll steal my brother away?"

"..."

Director Su was speechless. He could tell from the tone of the words that the other party was now completely devoted to the young master.

But this appearance, so different from what she remembered, still left her somewhat bewildered. Even though she already knew what had happened, witnessing it firsthand was still quite shocking.

"Chairman Xie was so handsome just now."

Gu Yi then approached Xie Qingyan, envying everyone who was more capable than her.

"right?"

Xie Qingyan chuckled strangely, "Should we settle the score for your attack on my abandoned hospital?"

"!"

Miss Black Rabbit had actually forgotten about this incident long ago, and only remembered that the two of them had a lot of conflicts in the past after being reminded.

Not only the abandoned hospital, but she also seemed to be the female lead in several previous incidents where she switched faces...

When her cowardly nature kicked in, Gu Yi tried to run away on the spot, but the other party grabbed her by the back of her collar, leaving her stuck in place.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have done it in the first place..."

Watching her being tortured into confessing and reciting apologies like a mantra, Ye Shanshan laughed out loud while also letting out a sigh of relief.

Chairman Xie doesn't seem to be concerned about my future, so I should still be safe, right?

But Xu Shi's original wife has suddenly appeared several more times, it doesn't feel stable, the advantage isn't big enough... no, it seems like he never had an advantage to begin with...

Lost in thought, she suddenly remembered a blind spot.

"We're here... but what about the church?!"

The Vatican wouldn't target only this one place! The Cat Cult's headquarters must also be a key focus!

But right now, there are only the Feng and Ling sisters and Xia Ke'an there, right? Where would the three of them get the fighting power?

Xu Shi waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

after all.

"Someone has already gone to protect them."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 290 What have you learned from your master, little sister?

2023-10-12

Ye Shanshan's estimate was correct.

The situation at the church was indeed chaotic.

Time goes back to one hour ago.

Despite the rampant smear campaigns by tabloids, a considerable number of people still come here.

The public has discerning eyes; the cat's behavior these days is completely different from what has been reported, okay?

They know perfectly well that Xu Shi orchestrated the Poseidon Stone trade, but he returned our money and keeps giving out free milk and eggs every day. Only a fool wouldn't come.

Not to mention that today is the day the Holy Maiden herself is present, so the number of people has actually increased instead of decreased.

"It seems...not a big problem?"

Seeing Xia Ke'an smilingly helping everyone solve their problems, Pan Feng felt a little relieved.

She was rather oblivious, but she had at least handled some affairs on Silver Pine Island with her father and master for a period of time, so she wasn't completely devoid of sensitivity.

So she was aware of the seriousness of the information war and was afraid that something might go wrong... Fortunately, it seems that there has been no impact now, which is a blessing in disguise.

"Speaking of which, didn't you try to persuade Master's father and Master's wife afterwards, sister?"

Once she relaxed, she couldn't help but gossip, patting Pan Ling beside her and whispering, "It doesn't seem like their relationship is getting any better..."

"We still can't let our guard down, sister."

Pan Ling gave an irrelevant answer, glancing around at the crowd in the church, showing no inclination to chat.

"……oh."

Pan Feng always felt that his sister's attitude was as if she was deliberately hiding something.

But this answer was too serious for her to argue about, so in the end she could only pat her chest and say with great bravado, "What are you afraid of? If anything happens, let me protect you! Your sister is much stronger than before..."

"It's dead!"

Before he could finish speaking, the distribution area erupted in chaos.

Pan Feng: ...

I haven't seen my older sister for months. Has she unlocked some new, strange abilities?

The two sisters exchanged a glance and quickly pushed through the crowd.

They saw someone lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching, clearly not going to make it.

"This is?"

"Your Highness, I don't know what's wrong..."

The guard in charge of distributing supplies looked distressed. "He came to collect the supplies, took the milk and started drinking it right away, and then..."

He didn't dare say the rest, but the meaning in his eyes was clear.

Could it be that he was poisoned?

Many onlookers also realized this, and many quietly put their supplies aside and began to whisper and discuss it.

"Sister, what... what should we do?"

Pan Feng frowned and asked.

Pan Ling glanced at her. Who was it that just said they would protect me?

"I'm not good at this."

Pan Feng looked sincere, clearly having accepted the fact that his brain wasn't as sharp as his sister's.

"Ugh."
