Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

"Orange, give me another kiss~"

"You're so sickeningly sweet."

Gu Cheng scolded him shyly and reproachfully, her ears gradually turning red. In the end, she honestly moved her body forward and gave Su Wanxi a light kiss, and then deliberately rubbed her nose against her lover's cheek.

Do you know what your actions just now resembled?

"what?"

"A kitten that's only a few days old and hasn't even opened its eyes yet, so cute~" Su Wanxi said gently, her eyes filled with a bright smile.

Perhaps because she had drunk too much alcohol that night, or perhaps because the woman had just come out of the bath, Gu Cheng felt that Su Wanxi was extremely beautiful at this moment, and every move she made was a masterpiece of beauty.

The girl reached out to her, her fingertips gently touching her lover's long, curled eyelashes. The latter looked puzzled but indulgently and did not stop her.

What are you going to do?

"Wanwan, has anyone ever told you that you're exceptionally beautiful?"

Su Wanxi was silent for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Hmm... quite a lot."

These words might be considered narcissism on others, but on Su Wanxi, they simply demonstrate a very accurate self-awareness.

"Do you know which part of your body is the most beautiful?" Gu Cheng asked her with a smile, gently stroking her cheek with her fingertips.

This question really stumped Su Wanxi. She had never considered these things before, and her former suitors neither dared nor would have asked her such a blatant question.

"Here's a hint: they come in pairs."

"In pairs..." Su Wanxi silently pondered these four words in her heart, her expression changing several times.

"Legs?" At 1.72 meters tall, and with high heels, she could easily surpass 1.8 meters, and Su Wanxi's legs are the most beautiful and straight type.

More importantly, his wife is a total leg fetishist, so her answer would naturally lean towards that.

Gu Cheng shook her head: "That's not right."

"Could it be... my hands?" If there was one part of Su Wanxi's body she was most dissatisfied with, it was probably her hands, which were calloused from years of playing the piano and holding a gun. She had been trying to take care of them for the sake of her married life, but the results were so-so.

Gu Cheng shook her head again, affectionately covering the other person's hand with her palm.

She couldn't possibly... Su Wanxi glanced at her lover a few times, her brows revealing an undeniable tenderness.

"The answer has been revealed...it's your eyes..." Gu Cheng said softly.

"A very beautiful glossy black, when calm it's like the surface of the sea, with large patches of shattered light floating up and sinking down."

This description reminded Su Wanxi of the islands in the Arctic Ocean, where the deep blue sea merges with the sky, and glimmers of light are hidden in the darkness.

So, oranges... like this the most...?

"And what about when things aren't peaceful?" the woman asked, her heart pounding.

Gu Cheng smiled slightly, her calves slipping through her gauze skirt and resting against the other person's fair and delicate thighs.

"She's even more beautiful when she's not calm, shining like stars in the dark night after the rain." It makes you want to get closer and touch her. Almost subconsciously, Gu Cheng placed her fingers on Su Wanxi's lower eyelid so that she could see the whole picture more easily.

"Your eyes are beautiful too..." Su Wanxi's throat moved slightly, the praise that should have been appreciated was tainted by a messy memory and became particularly gloomy.

She looked up into those clear, pure brown eyes, and felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if pierced by needles.

"...Go to sleep." Gently stroking the stray hairs by Gu Cheng's ear, Su Wanxi lowered her eyes and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Otherwise, you might not be able to get up tomorrow."

......

The next morning, when Gu Cheng woke up, Su Wanxi was still asleep. Gu Cheng glanced at the arm wrapped around her waist and then adjusted her pillow to continue sleeping.

No sooner had Su Wanxi closed her eyes than she woke up. She buried her head in the girl's hair, enjoying the rare peaceful atmosphere in the space.

"woke up?"

Su Wanxi gave a soft "hmm" and gently pressed her fingers on her waist.

"Then get up, we still have a lot to do today." Gu Cheng gently rubbed the other's sleepy face, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

After getting out of bed, the two went to the bathroom to wash up. Gu Cheng changed her face wash at Su Wanxi's recommendation and then patted her face with her.

Back in the living room, Su Wanxi sat down behind Gu Cheng and said she would braid her hair.

"I think I left my hair tie in the bedroom."

"No need for that." Su Wanxi held her soft, long hair, which was golden from the sun, and her fingers moved back and forth, and she finished in no time.

Looking in the mirror, the girl's hair was half hanging down her back, with a small strand on the left side connecting to the right side, forming a cute shape like an ear of wheat.

Compared to the single ponytail she braided herself, it was much more pleasing to the eye. Or rather, Su Wanxi's technique could be called braiding, while Gu Cheng's was just a simple tie-up of her hair with a hair tie.

"Are you sure you don't want me to take you?" Su Wanxi asked gently, looking at the neatly dressed and beautiful young woman in front of her.

"No need, Wanwan, just stay home and wait for me." Bending down to put on her canvas shoes, then touching her baseball cap, Gu Cheng pushed open the door, ready to leave.

Oh right, I almost forgot... She quickly turned her head and kissed Su Wanxi.

Good morning kiss~

The hotel wasn't far from the apartment, only about three or four subway stops away. Gu Cheng went to the front desk to get her room key and dragged herself into the room.

The moment the door closed, she took a deep breath and collapsed onto the sheets, her fingertips sinking into the blankets, her pink lips biting until they turned white. Gu Cheng kept swallowing and making low, rapid gasps.

"Hiss...cough cough..." It felt as if his internal organs were out of place, and a severe tearing sensation ran rampant throughout his body. Even his joints made a cracking sound.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but the girl felt her inner shirt was soaked with sweat, sticking to her skin in patches, and her face was frighteningly pale.

Stepping into the bathroom, the cold tap water offered some relief from the pain. Gu Cheng looked at herself in the mirror, her lips pressed into a straight line.

Besides the golden gauze, wisps of black mist swirled around her, and the back of her lowered hand shimmered subtly, revealing a patterned ouroboros hidden in her breath.

Section 269, Chapter 264: Rejection Reaction Plus

"Clap clap..." The crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor was completely out of place with the continuous dripping sound of water in the bathroom.

Gu Cheng felt the hairs on her body stand on end. She quickly turned her head, and the silver blade hidden in her sleeve slashed horizontally at the target. Jiang Xuewei took a few steps back, and half of her hair was cut off and fell to the ground.

"Sister Xuewei, it's you." Gu Cheng rubbed her aching temples, the blade transforming into a strip of metal hanging at her waist.

Jiang Xuewei slightly raised her glasses, and her fitted trench coat opened outwards due to the movement, revealing a light white knitted sweater underneath.

"I came to deliver something to you, but I hid when I heard someone open the door."

The woman pointed to the shelf next to her where towels were hanging, a shadow the size of a manhole cover covering the floor tiles.

Gu Cheng then noticed that Jiang Xuewei was carrying a dark black travel bag with slightly bulging leather lining, which looked to weigh at least ten kilograms.

"A Type 95 assault rifle, a Colt M1911 with a silencer, some 5.8mm and 11.43mm ammunition, and a small number of stun grenades."

Jiang Xuewei paused for a moment, then added, "For ease of use, it also includes a portable weapon belt, special military boots, and an optical camouflage windbreaker..."

The entire set of equipment was designed for assassination services. Gu Cheng took the travel bag, and her wrist suddenly felt heavy.

"What if someone finds out?" Without official status, possessing firearms is a serious crime, and Gu Cheng didn't want to carry such a large pile of illegal items on the street.

Jiang Xuewei said calmly, "You've completed so many infiltration missions, you shouldn't make such a basic mistake... Besides, didn't you just meet with Miss Su? A phone call would have been enough." This was also the main reason the woman came; all signs indicated that the person currently controlling the body was a rather easy-going Miss Gu.

Gu Cheng pondered for a moment and it seemed to make sense. She then turned around, opened her suitcase, and swapped the guns and clothes.

Looking at the girl who was busy with her back to her, Jiang Xuewei suddenly spoke up: "So Miss Ying really did something to you..."

Gu Cheng's body stiffened, her fingers paused for a moment, then reached into the box to continue tidying up.

"Sister Xuewei, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Having worked with Jiang Xuewei so many times, Gu Cheng naturally knew how blurry the vision was in the shadow world. The colors within the light path were heavy and disordered, like an oil painting with spilled paint. The latter could not clearly see reality and therefore could not know about the abnormal actions she had taken before.

"What's with the black mist around you?" Jiang Xuewei raised her arm, her slowly outstretched palm seemingly able to touch the mist directly.

"Ordinary people who have lost the will to live have a very small chance of being infected by the black mist. If we narrow the scope to the awakened, this will become an inevitable event."

The black mist surrounding the girl was not dense, and judging by common sense, she was in the early stages of transforming into a descending creature.

"Although I don't know you very well, you shouldn't even think about giving up on yourself until Lin Shusheng pays the price."

Jiang Xuewei raised her hand and touched her chin, her eyes narrowing slightly, while Gu Cheng completely stopped what she was doing and remained silently squatting in place.

After a long while, the girl stood up and smiled gently: "In the end, I couldn't hide it from Sister Xuewei."

In an instant, lightning flashed in his amber pupils. Although Gu Cheng did not choose to attack Jiang Xuewei, the latter still couldn't help but want to use the shadows to escape.

"Why is your ability...?"

Before leaving the team, Gu Cheng's electrical control was only at the B- level, but now the pressure on her is definitely more than that.

Grade A? No, it should be close to B+, on par with herself. Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Xuewei's mind. By the time she came to her senses, Gu Cheng had already stopped transmitting his mental energy, and the black mist gradually dissipated.

The mist only appears when the ability is used, which is completely different from the behavior of others. No wonder Su Wanwan didn't notice. Gu Cheng muttered to herself, the ouroboros pattern on the back of her hand flashing by.

The next second, she felt her stomach churning, rushed to the toilet, and vomited up her breakfast in the sink.

After vomiting until only bile remained, Gu Cheng exhausted herself and closed the toilet seat, her cheek pressed against the tiles, panting heavily.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Xuewei handed her a white towel, which Gu Cheng took and wiped the grime from the corner of her lips. She then poured a few glasses of tap water to rinse her mouth.

"I'm getting used to it."

She had to find a way to get used to it, even if she wasn't used to it. These were gifts, or rather, curses, bestowed upon her by Ying Qiuhuai.

After leaning against the toilet seat for a while to catch her breath, Gu Cheng cleared her throat and said, "I am still human, not some so-called descended species, and my self-awareness has not changed at all."

The hospital's test results corroborate this: her body is perfectly normal, even unusually healthy.

Modern people have some physical problems, but apart from her missing left eye, Gu Cheng's other organs are in near-perfect condition. Jiang Xuewei frowned and didn't say anything more. Gu Cheng couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she remained silent as well.

"Let's meet again in a few days. Lingyi said she misses you."

Before leaving, Jiang Xuewei casually added a comment.

"If it's convenient for Miss Su, you can come along too."
