I'll even show you crossdressing men.

It was perfect, as if it had been aimed at from the very beginning.

But this is only the beginning...

PS: Update 4/4, complete.

Chapter 283: Possessiveness and Such

"So many bugs..." A slightly trembling voice came from behind, and Riko's body seemed to be hanging on Bu Qingqing's body.

However, she was afraid, and so was Bu Qingqing. She wasn't a particularly brave person; her composure stemmed entirely from Ji Xiuyu's presence, which gave her a sense of security and made her feel at ease.

But now the situation is that there are insects all around, so it doesn't matter whether there is anything to rely on or not; it's a complete test of one's ability to accept things.

Therefore, while being leaned on by Riko, she was also slowly moving to the side, where Yaolian, Chen Nuo, and Tianyu were.

They are all very strong, and I should be able to protect them on my own.

Thinking this to herself, she prayed that nothing bad would happen, otherwise, not only would she be in trouble, but Riko would also suffer.

"Tina..." Bai Yu gasped for breath, looked around, and frowned. Well, these guys were indeed troublesome, and their numbers seemed enormous. With her current strength, she probably wouldn't be able to handle it alone.

Adding to the energy she had just used, she couldn't deal with these things so easily, so she had to work together with Dian.

Upon hearing her words, the green-haired girl sitting there stood up, raised her hand above her head, and a bluish-green whirlwind began to gather in the sky. The incredibly strong wind pressure blew outwards, scattering all the insects that approached, preventing them from getting too close.

The girls within range were completely unaffected; aside from their long hair and the hem of their clothes being blown up, they were essentially untouched.

"Hmph..." Seeing that she had made a move, Bai Yu also raised her hand. A white flame rose from the fireball in her hand, like a giant dragon, swirling around the whirlwind and merging into it.

In an instant, a fire tornado was created, spinning faster and faster in the sky, scorching the air.

"Go." He glanced indifferently at the insects outside; their strength was too weak, and no matter how many there were, it wouldn't make a difference.

Tina doesn't like fighting weak opponents; it's not only boring, but also pointless.

However, she wouldn't stand idly by and watch these guys hurt the people she cared about, especially with the young master still here; she was even more unwilling to allow it.

Therefore, her first move was her strongest attack under the current limitations of her strength.

How powerful would a tornado carrying flames that pierces the sky be? The girls surrounding the fire tornado weren't quite sure, but they could clearly feel countless energies filling the heavens and earth, creating a devastating spectacle.

If they hadn't seen that the attack was a combined effort from two girls, Riko and Ayumi would probably have wondered what kind of person possessed such terrifying power.

Actually, this is because their strength hasn't reached that level, so they can't understand it and aren't very clear about the difference between Hero-level and Legend-level.

Although the momentum of their attacks this time had reached the legendary level, their actual power was still somewhat different.

However, this did not prevent the attack from wiping out all the small insects that approached. The aftershocks even reached the fire tornado several miles away, which was something that these insects, whose strength was at most seventh rank and at least second or third rank, could not withstand.

"Is it resolved?" The fire tornado had been spinning for a long time, and the bored girls started grilling inside. With Bai Yu's ability to control the flames and the help of Chen Nuo and Zi Qing's cooking skills, delicious dishes were soon laid out in front of everyone.

The insect problem is solved, but we don't know what happened to the group of people whose arrows were deflected by Zi Qing.

Although she believed she could easily wipe them out, these guys weren't unprepared, and it's estimated that quite a few of them survived that wave.

"We need to be careful. There are still some people lurking in the shadows. Those guys won't give up easily," the girl said softly, looking up at the gradually dissipating fiery tornado.

"Hey, eat, don't talk." A piece of roasted meat, torn off, was held in her fair little hand. It smelled delicious and looked very tempting.

It was clearly something she baked, yet the young master was holding it in his hands and feeding it to her; this feeling was truly...

Her face flushed slightly, but she lowered her head, opened her small mouth, and bit into the piece of meat.

Unexpectedly, Ji Xiuyu's fingers moved forward slightly, probing into her mouth as she bit into the meat, teasing her little tongue.

This action completely blushed Zi Qing, who had been so calm just moments before. How could the young master do such a thing? It's so embarrassing!

"You always say I overthink things, but aren't you overthinking even more? Those guys aren't that strong. I know your concerns, but do we really have to overthink things when we're not revealing our strength?"

He extended his finger slightly, bringing the girl's cheek closer.

Looking closely into her pale purple eyes and seeing his own reflection, Ji Xiuyu lowered his head and kissed her forehead, admonishing, "The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Even if someone is mixed in with them, it won't be so easy to deal with them."

"Ugh..." Zi Qing was in no mood to think about anything else; her mind was filled with Ji Xiuyu's image. The young master was really too much, doing this to her in front of so many people...

That's what she thought in her heart, but she didn't dislike it at all. Not only did she not dislike it, she liked it very much.

There are just too many people...

"I'm so envious..." What could the other girls do besides envy them?

Perhaps it's because they've spent so much time together, but Ji Xiuyu is no longer unfamiliar with these intimate gestures; in fact, she even takes the initiative to do them.

He seemed to understand what it meant, but didn't seem to care. He knew perfectly well that his repeated intimacy would make these girls increasingly dependent on and fond of him, yet he remained unmoved.

It's probably a way of announcing to people that the person she likes is her.

Is it the awakening of male instincts, possessiveness?

Lolona watched this scene with indifferent eyes, without any expression, but she also made her own judgment on his actions.

While Ji Xiuyu was beautiful, he lacked the responsibility and ability that a real man should have, which she found somewhat regrettable.

Now there's no problem. Even if he's incredibly beautiful and acts in a feminine way, as long as he has a responsible heart, he's the kind of man she approves of.

And this kind of flirting isn't anything special to her. Being able to flirt with girls is normal, flirting with guys is fine too. If you can't even do that, wouldn't you be pretty boring?

Ji Xiuyu and Ziqing were flirting and teasing each other, but the people watching from afar were about to explode with rage. So, I came here to watch them show off their love?

P.S.: Lots of people in the comments section wanting to mess with me? Come on, let's have some fun, we have plenty of time anyway... Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk!

Chapter 284: Goodbye, Single Boy

"Useless... Is this all you've got? That was just one energy projection. I still have enough power to project ten times. I refuse to believe she can retaliate against ten rounds of such a powerful attack!"

The person hiding in the shadows was truly angered by Ji Xiuyu's public display of affection. He had come to this place late at night to wait for him, and not only did he have to be with this group of barbaric guys, but he also had to be careful about the surrounding environment, otherwise he would be in trouble if some monsters or insectoids came.

Fortunately, this area was relatively safe, as few demonic worms would come here. But that wasn't a reason to be at ease; he wanted to finish off the worm quickly, or leave after exhausting all his strength and failing to defeat it.

Now that thought is gone, all he wants to do is kill those two lovebirds.

Having been single for so many years, despite his immense strength, why do he constantly face contempt and alienation from women? Seeing those weaker than him surrounded by beautiful women, while he is left with nothing but strange things all day long, drives him to the brink of madness.

Now, with this information, he knows that Ji Xiuyu is a man—a man who looks like that must be a pervert, the kind of person who uses his good looks to lure young girls.

But seeing him embracing the girl who made his heart flutter, he was consumed by jealousy.

If I can't have her, I won't let him have her either. Since that woman likes him, let's die together.

Ji Xiuyu and the others probably never imagined that the guy who wanted them dead was such a pervert, but even if they did know, they probably wouldn't care, right?

"Don't worry about it. Let's go back and rest after we finish eating. It's just that you'll have to make the effort not to take a bath for a while. Otherwise, those guys will see you." Ji Xiuyu released Zi Qing, whose face was flushed, and then turned to look at the other girls, saying with a slight apology.

This matter arose because of him, so naturally he should bear the responsibility.

The issue of taking a bath might be a luxury for women who are busy working outside, but these girls all come from wealthy families or have a comfortable life, so there is no problem for them in not being able to take a bath.

Therefore, asking a group of people who are used to taking showers to refrain from showering for a period of time is not a good thing.

"It's alright. In the face of life and death, taking a bath is a small matter." Squeezing Riko's small hand to stop her from speaking, Bu Qingqing obediently agreed.

Once a person reaches the hero level, their body will have an automatic defense ability, preventing certain impurities from eroding their body.

Besides this, some highly talented individuals will also comprehend this and add defensive capabilities to themselves in advance.

So among the people here, only Lina, Riko, Akari-sensei, and the two servants who take care of them haven't reached this level; the other girls are quite ordinary.

Ji Xiuyu's words were also directed at them, and were meant to comfort them.

"Hmm..." Looking around, apart from Zhao Kongxue who had gone out, all the other girls were here.

The other party clearly hadn't noticed that Zhao Kongxue, whose presence could be reduced to almost invisible, had left, so there was no disturbance from them.

Otherwise, there probably aren't many people who can remain calm after discovering someone has disappeared.

They clearly knew the approximate strength of their group, and Kong Xue was probably classified as one of the dangerous ones.

After all, as an assassin, if she isn't in danger, then no one is.

He knew where the girl had gone, but he wasn't particularly concerned about what she had discovered.

Forbidden alchemy has existed since ancient times, or rather, the entire Chu family has relied on forbidden alchemy to continue its lineage. Otherwise, how could a child be born without sexual intercourse with a man?

Perhaps things were a little different in Ji Xiuyu's generation, but he never forgot what his mother had told him: he had no father, only a mother.

He has always believed in this statement and doesn't care about things that are irrelevant to him.

"They're out again. Those guys weren't real life forms, but rather formed from condensed energy. Killing them won't cause any casualties. However, their true forms are definitely nearby. As far as I know, the strongest casting range for this kind of spell is no more than ten kilometers."

"Judging from the intensity of the energy he just released, he is only a hero-level guy. Even if he has some special enhancements, the difference wouldn't be more than two kilometers."

“So…” Zi Qing looked at the shadowy crowd that suddenly appeared again in the distance, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

It's really annoying that my tender moments with the young master are constantly being interrupted. Don't you know how wonderful it is to be so affectionate with the person you love?

She was angry, but she remained calm on the surface. She stood up and, just like before, stretched out her hand, instantly freezing all the arrows that were flying towards her.

"Damn it..." Seeing this scene repeat itself again, the man knew that if he didn't do something, it would probably have to start all over again. So he immediately transmitted more energy, using the power of the instrument to project more human figures.

If double isn't enough, then five times will do. Even if it pushes my body to its limit, I will make sure you suffer.

With this thought in mind, even more energy surged forth.

He didn't notice that the barrier concealing their forms flickered slightly after his energy surged.

This is the magic circle's self-regulating function, making it less easily destroyed.

Even a legendary-level expert would have difficulty detecting such energy fluctuations. However, Zi Qing was different; she instantly locked onto that location, situated on a hill 1,700 meters away.

As expected, it's not within that range. Did you think you were safe just because you hid?

She spotted the enemy, but instead of attacking, she waited quietly for the next attack.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" The sound of huge arrows piercing the air overlapped. One or two arrows might not seem like much, but when hundreds of them were combined, they were terrifying.

Thankfully it was nighttime, otherwise seeing the sky filled with huge arrows would have been terrifying and sent chills down my spine.

Fortunately, it was nighttime, so they were all wiped out before they could see what the insects looked like.

"Goodbye." When the arrows fired by five times the number of people were all frozen in mid-air, the guy sensed something was wrong.

Unfortunately, before he could react, the girl's cold voice rang in his ears, as if she were right next to him.
