On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

"alright."

Hu Jiu, who is naturally easygoing, didn't care about these things. At most, he would mutter a few words under his breath after accepting the cross and leaving.

"It feels like you've gone on vacation, Xue. You're sending us things every day."

All told, it's been a week since she came to Mr. Liao Ji's place.

Ah Xue, who was already able to carry a small basket, arrived at the alley where they had met for the fourth time. After sending a signal to the revolutionary army, Ah Xue waited for Hu Jiu with a mix of nervousness and determination.

Because today she decided to tell Hu Jiu the truth from her heart.

She hoped that everyone in the revolutionary army would abandon their plans against Mr. Liao Ji.

Although she only lived with Liao Ji for a short week, everything she experienced during that week—whether it was 86 patiently giving her lessons every night, Miss Yilin often dragging her out to play, or Mr. Liao Ji personally cooking delicious porridge for her every meal under the guise of "experimentation"—was something she had never experienced in her entire life. She was very happy, even blissful.

Ah Xue couldn't deceive herself, so she wanted to protect Mr. Liao Ji instead.

Humph.

A cold snort filled with anger jolted Ah Xue back to reality, and then a figure emerged from the shadows of the alley.

That was no longer the tiger clan leader she encountered every time.

instead

"Cold-hearted Snake Brother?" Ah Xue's heart clenched instantly, and her hand holding the basket began to tremble unconsciously.

Chapter 90 has... taken on the shape of Mr. Liao Ji (Part 2)

"What's that?" The cold, dark green snake eyes swept over the catgirl carrying the basket across from her, finally fixing its gaze on the basket and questioning her in a chilling voice.

"This...this..."

Seeing Ah Xue's flustered expression and stammering, Leng She quickly stepped forward and, without giving Ah Xue a chance to explain, forcibly grabbed the basket. After lifting the cloth covering it...

Inside were small cakes that looked like they had just been baked, still steaming and emitting a very sweet aroma. I bet kids would drool just from the smell.

Unfortunately, the basket of small cakes was quickly overturned by Leng She, falling to the ground and getting dirty with mud. But that wasn't all; a second later, Leng She stomped on them, crushing them all.

Seeing all the pastries she had painstakingly made, with the careful guidance and patient companionship of 86, now trampled underfoot like trash by Leng She, Ah Xue dared not say anything. She lowered her head in fear, her body trembling.

"Why do you keep making us wait? What, you've received a little kindness and favor from others, and now you can't bear to part with it? Or do you really consider yourself a member of someone else's family?"

"Cold, Brother Snake! Actually, the reason I called Sister Tiger Nine here this time is to say that Mr. Liao Ji is different from other nobles. He is really a good person, and we shouldn't have attacked him!"

"Good people? Hahahaha! Ah Xue, how could you be so stupid? Do you dare to look at our dead comrades, those who were tortured to death by the nobles, and your fellow cat people, and say again that the nobles are good people?!"

Leng She's expression gradually twisted, and his gaze toward Ah Xue grew increasingly filled with anger and hatred.

"It seems you're having a really good time with that human nobleman, even speaking up for him. But have you ever thought about what we were doing while you were enjoying yourself there? We were forced to lock ourselves in cold iron cages, eating the meager rations we had left, and having to keep telling ourselves that better days were just around the corner. How can you bear it? How can you face the revolutionary army?!"

"Fine, even if he really is a good person, so what? He's rich, isn't that enough? As long as we kill him and take his wealth, everyone in the revolutionary army can live a good life, isn't that enough!"

"Brother Bu Leng, this is wrong. We shouldn't be like this."

Seeing that the catgirl opposite him dared to contradict him, Cold Serpent was furious. Ever since he received the blood sacrifice from the "Old Ones" in the warehouse of "Loba", Cold Serpent had found it difficult to control his emotions. Now, in his anger, he raised his hand and was about to slap the "traitor" across the face.

Snapped!

A slap rang out, but it didn't land on Ah Xue's face; instead, it was blocked by another demi-human who appeared there.

"hope Yun!? What are you doing?!" Leng She looked at the unexpected fox-like demi-human opposite her and was immediately somewhat panicked.

If he is the second-in-command in the revolutionary army, then hope Yun is definitely the number one. After all, the initial initiator of this revolutionary army force in the sealed city was the fox-human demi-human in front of us. It was hope Yun who united everyone together. Whether in terms of prestige or strength, hope Yun is the highest among them.

"Luckily, I followed along because I was worried, Cold Snake. That's enough! You've gone a bit too far."

hope Yun frowned. If you really want to count the fox race demi-humans, they are actually a rare breed. They belong to the type of demi-humans with fewer animal characteristics. However, compared to the cat people, who only have cat ears and tails, the fox people are quite different from humans in some aspects of their fur. That's why they are less popular among human nobles than the cat people.

After stopping Leng She, hope Yun turned to look at A Xue, who dared not meet her gaze.

The fox smiled like an older sister, then patted the catgirl's head, which hung low like a sinner.

"Alright, Xue, Leng She was just saying that in a fit of anger. I think what you did, although it wasn't what we hoped for, was the right thing to do."

"After all, if we just rob and kill anyone who has money, what's the difference between us and those fake revolutionaries we despise?"

"The vast majority of human nobles are indeed deserving of death, filthy and ugly maggots, but we cannot negate the entire human race because of this. Cold Serpent is the most vivid example. Hasn't Mr. Roland been helping us all along? Without Mr. Roland's support, we probably wouldn't have made it this far. Isn't Mr. Roland also human?"

Leng She opened her mouth in response to hope Yun's words, but she couldn't refute them.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Xue, Mr. Roland absolutely adores the cross you sent him, he's so excited about it. And the little ones, they're not noisy anymore, they're all so focused, they practically want to bury their heads in the picture books you sent."

"Sister Xixi Yun, so you've always been like this..."

"Pfft, of course. I saw through Hu Jiu's little tricks very clearly. That's why I'm so sure that you haven't forgotten us, Xue, and you're not a traitor at all."

hope Yun gently pulled the catgirl who was about to cry into her arms and patted her back. The reason why this fox girl was able to gather a revolutionary army and make the demi-humans willing to gather around her was not because of hatred, but because she could care for and understand each member, and because of the trust between them.

"Don't worry, Xue. Don't forget, before that human noble came knocking on our door, our original plan was to assassinate another high-ranking official. We've only been slightly delayed, it's nothing serious. So we won't touch Mr. Liao Ji."

“hope Yun!” Leng She hesitated, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

But hope Yun's next words soon left him speechless.

“Since he is a nobleman whom Ah Xue can trust, I think Mr. Liao Ji can be developed into our next Mr. Roland. He can definitely become another great help to our revolutionary army. So, Ah Xue, can this new mission target be assigned to you again?”

"Yes! Don't worry, Sister Xiyun! I... I will definitely do my best to drag Mr. Liao Ji down with me! I'll get him on our side too!"

The catgirl's face was flushed with excitement, and her tail swayed back and forth.

"What do you mean by 'being dragged down'? This is called joining the revolutionary cause!" hope Yun earnestly flicked A Xue's forehead.

However, to hope Yun's surprise, Ah Xue, who quickly recovered from her excitement, suddenly asked:

"So, Sister Xiyun, when are you planning to make your move?"

"It's tomorrow night. We don't want to delay any longer. I've already set up all the lookouts at that high-ranking official's residence. That corrupt official has been reinforcing the constitution that perpetuates slavery, profiting from our exploitation. He is unforgivable!"

Tomorrow night?

After clenching her fists, Ah Xue was comforted and reassured by hope Yun that she was right, but Leng She's words still lingered in her mind.

"Sister Xiyun, I... I also want to participate in this operation!"

"you?"

"Yes! I can ask Mr. Liao Ji for leave. Mr. Liao Ji said that we are entitled to five paid leave periods each month, and I haven't used any of them this month! I believe Mr. Liao Ji will approve my leave!"

hope Yun: "."

Looking at Ah Xue, who seemed to have almost turned into "Mr. Liao Ji" in just one week, the fox girl sighed.

After thinking it over, she finally agreed to Ah Xue's suggestion. This would serve as proof to everyone in the revolutionary army, and Ah Xue's resourcefulness would also provide some assurance that the plan would succeed.

Watching Ah Xue's retreating figure as she hurried towards the noble young man's residence and then ran back to "ask for leave," Xi Yun sighed.

Hopefully nothing unexpected will happen.

However, what hope Yun couldn't see was that Leng She hesitated for a few moments, but ultimately turned into a gaze filled with cold hatred towards A Xue.

"You want to ask for leave?" Liao Ji, who was drinking hot chocolate and reading the newspaper in the study, repeated the catgirl's words from the other side.

"right"

Ah Xue clasped her hands behind her back. Although she had assured Sister Xi Yun that Mr. Liao Ji would definitely agree, she was still uneasy once she arrived. Moreover, the thought of taking leave after only a week of work seemed a bit too much...

"If you're going to see a doctor, remember to bring the medical bills back and get reimbursed through 86."

".ah!?"

Ah Xue was still mentally preparing her explanation of what she was going there to do, and what would happen if Mr. Liao Ji disagreed. But what she didn't expect was...

The noble young man opposite her not only didn't ask her anything, but also reminded her that she could get her medical expenses reimbursed.

Is there anything else?

"No, that's all," Ah Xue stammered in reply.

"Then you can go."

"Yes, it's the master."

Ah Xue had just opened the study door to leave when she was suddenly called back. The young man sitting at the desk seemed to have thought of something, finally looked up from the newspaper, met her gaze, and added a sentence.

"be careful."

"Yes, Master!"

After the catgirl left the study completely.

Liao Ji took off his glasses and threw the newspaper in his hand onto the table. It was a newspaper from a few days ago, which reported the shocking incident involving the "demi-human assassin" that occurred at the banquet in the capital.

Liao Ji rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

It seems that Jiu You's mood hasn't been very good lately.

At this time, is it too risky to have the Dragon Girl rush over to meet me immediately?

There's nothing we can do about it.

It seems that even if he tries to be strong, he's still not quite capable with his current strength. Since that's the case...

Is it okay to live off one's wife for a little while?

Ah!

Liao Ji tapped his fingers on the table, and next to the newspaper was a piece of Liao Ji's draft paper, on which many names were written in dense strokes.

He could still remember the names of many, and even those whose memories were only vague, he would try his best to write them down. In the game, besides "them", he had also trained other Evil Transformers, including some of them of the Danger or even the Catastrophe level.

Afterwards, Liao Ji put these things into his pocket and left the study.

The catgirl's departure means the Revolutionary Army is about to take action, and it also means that his brief life as a noble young master in the sealed capital is coming to an end.

Liao Ji, feeling a little disappointed, quickly called Yilin and 86 back as well.

I've been idle for so long

It's time to get some exercise.

Chapter 91 Hehehe, hehehe!
