041 - Who exposed them?
"Chief...Chief, calm down, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Seeing Liu Yu's hand already starting to slide down inappropriately, the fish-stealing cat's eyelids twitched wildly as he gave her a warning.
I don't have that kind of hobby, so don't go too far! Just stay still and wait for my exploration skill to finish, then we can part ways amicably!
My eyes swept over the skill progress bar displayed in the corner of the interface. It was already at 70%. If I dragged it out a little longer, I would succeed.
"What's wrong with it?"
Liu Yu playfully pinched his little face, and with a slight movement of the hand that was roaming over his body, the fish-stealing cat froze.
He looked down with a hint of fear in his eyes, and suddenly a gleaming knife was pressed against his heart.
"Kids, now that it's just us left, shouldn't we have a proper chat about your true identities?"
Abandoning her previous gentle and charming expression, Liu Yu's pretty face immediately turned cold, her eyes looking down at the fish-stealing cat in her arms without any emotion.
It was as if if he dared to make the slightest move, the knife would pierce his heart instantly.
"Chief Liu, what... what are you saying?"
The fish-stealing cat chuckled dryly, a sense of foreboding already creeping into its heart.
Was everything that just happened staged by this woman?!
“You all know very well what I’m talking about. I’ve investigated every single person who has come here to join me. I know everything about them: undercover agents, assassins, rebels, and those who have been recruited.”
"They're stuffing so many scheming guys into my group, don't they ever consider the possibility that I might try to stuff a few of my people into their group in return?"
Liu Yu quipped with a hint of sarcasm, having already received intelligence about these people's arrival long before they came.
Aside from the one with the ponytail whose information was unknown, the other three were perfectly clear to everyone.
Now even the girl with the ponytail has been kicked downstairs. Does this brat think he can fight me?
Hearing Liu Yu's explanation, the fish-stealing cat's heart sank to the bottom. Sure enough, the worst had happened.
"Why are you adventurers getting involved in this? If it's just for profit, I can offer double the price Alice offered."
"..."
Is it too late to defect to the enemy at this point?
The fish-stealing cat blinked, took a deep breath, and muttered with a pained expression—
"Excuse me, I'm a police officer... cough, I have principles."
"Is that so? It seems the negotiations have broken down. I really like your type, what a pity."
A fierce glint flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and without any mercy, she gripped the knife and stabbed it into the heart of the fish-stealing cat.
Just as the knife tip was about to touch the fish-stealing cat's body, she vanished like a phantom, leaving Liu Yu stunned.
Before she could react, a chain was tightly wrapped around her neck, and then it was yanked sharply—
"Well!!"
Liu Yu was suddenly and involuntarily pulled away, crashing heavily to the ground, her face contorted in suffocating pain.
The other end of the chain was being held tightly in the hand of a fish-stealing cat that had somehow moved to a distance.
"Huiyuan has so many good things."
The fish-stealing cat chuckled, then threw a square mirror to the ground. The side that could originally reflect a person's image was now completely black, covered with numerous cracks, as if it had taken a lot of damage for the fish-stealing cat.
"The entire mirror's load-bearing capacity was instantly exceeded; you woman, you really went all out."
"You were prepared from the start? But you're no match for me."
Liu Yu stood up again with a gloomy face, staring intently at the fish-stealing cat in front of him, while slowly putting his right hand behind his back.
"I'm only here to gather intelligence. The one responsible for dealing with you is someone else, Qing Yuan!!!"
"boom!!!"
After a loud shout, the floor suddenly shattered, and Qingyuan's figure shot up and attacked the unsuspecting Liu Yu.
"Chong-"
A piercing metallic whistling sound echoed in her ears, and a scythe, its entire body a deep purple, appeared out of nowhere in front of Qingyuan.
Seeing that her attack had failed, Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and retreated rapidly, putting distance between herself and the enemy.
"Wow--"
"Whoa!"
A scream rang out, and a terrifying force suddenly came from the other end of the chain, instantly pulling the fish-stealing cat away.
Seeing the dangerous figure rapidly approaching, the fish-stealing cat got really scared. Where the hell did you get such superhuman strength?!
"Bang!!"
A piercing sonic boom suddenly rang out, and before the scythe could strike the fish-stealing cat, Qingyuan had already stepped on the scythe, forcefully stomping it into the floor.
As he turned, his fist struck Liu Yu's face without mercy.
The terrifying power made her body tense up instantly, and she instinctively jumped back. Even though she barely dodged it, the sharp wind still stung her face.
But the moment she landed, a shadow suddenly enveloped her.
Suddenly turning around, Jiu Niang Yuanzi was wielding a greatsword and slashing down with tremendous force. Flames swirled around the sword, and the terrifying heat distorted the very space around it.
"Die to me!!"
"Whoosh-"
The scythe, which had been pressed into the ground, trembled and instantly broke free from Qingyuan's suppression. It transformed into a ghostly light and spun around before slashing horizontally towards Yuanzi's waist.
Just as the scythe was about to strike him, Yuanzi had no choice but to raise her sword to defend herself, and the violent force sent him flying.
However, in the brief moment Liu Yu was distracted, Qing Yuan had already swiftly closed in behind her, her knee striking her lower back without mercy—
"Bang!!"
"Click——"
A chilling sound of bones cracking suddenly rang out from Liu Yu's body, and she was sent flying to the floor some distance away by Qing Yuan's impact.
Feeling the excruciating pain within her body, Liu Yu's face turned deathly pale, but there was no fear on her face.
After gently wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, a red light quietly enveloped her body, instantly healing all her injuries.
"Phew—you guys are much better than the previous assassins."
Liu Yu sighed softly and stood up again as if nothing had happened.
As the three people slowly surrounded her, Liu Yu remained quite calm, staring at their faces with a meaningful gaze.
"We don't want to be undercover agents in this place; it's better to get rid of you as soon as possible."
"Oh, is that all? I feel there's another reason involved."
Liu Yu smiled knowingly, especially with Qing Yuan's displeased gaze fixed on her chest, which made her even more certain.
"Is this what they mean by 'like repels like'? Looks like you've disguised yourselves quite well. Your teammates probably don't even know you're women disguised as men."
"A woman dressed as a man? Who's the woman?!"
Almost the instant Liu Yu finished speaking, Lin Qiu appeared in the room as if by magic, causing Qing Yuan and the others to stiffen in surprise...
042 - Made a "small" preparation
"Who's the woman?!"
"..."
Faced with Lin Qiu's sudden question, the entire living room fell into an eerie silence.
The cat thief's eyelids twitched as he glared at Lin Qiu. "We were just desperately trying to kill you, and you had to come out and cause trouble!"
"You're hallucinating! Where did you just run off to?"
"We have to take precautions, otherwise, if Qingyuan were to attack, the whole mountain stronghold would hear the commotion here."
Lin Qiu rolled his eyes and pointed to the floor that Qing Yuan had just broken open, revealing a corner of the complex and profound magic array to everyone.
As Liu Yu scanned the stairs and windows and saw that every corner was sealed off, her expression darkened slightly.
In such a short time, how could he have arranged things to this extent?
"You two work together quite well, isn't this the first time?"
Liu Yu asked with amusement, and with a wave of her hand, the dark purple scythe instantly returned to her hand.
"I have nothing to say to you!"
Without giving her a chance to stall for time, the fish-stealing cat lightly shook its arms, and two chains coiled around Liu Yu's limbs like venomous snakes.
Instead of retreating, Liu Yu took a step forward and met the chains head-on.
However, just as the chains were about to touch her body, Liu Yu transformed into countless red butterflies and scattered in all directions.
When she reappeared, she was already close enough to the fish-stealing cat to strike with her scythe, which was about to slash mercilessly across its neck—
"Zizzi-"
A red arc of electricity flashed past the corner of her eye, and the next second, a deep red drill was driven into her body. Even though it didn't touch her body, it still kept her in place.
"Bang!!"
The moment the floor shattered, Qingyuan instantly traversed dozens of meters, delivering a vicious kick to Liu Yu's chest via the crimson electric drill.
"Chong-"
The piercing metallic whirring echoed in her ears. Looking at the scythe that had just blocked her, Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged. The terrifying force still sent Liu Yu flying backward dozens of meters.
"The resistance to control is a bit high, be careful."
"I know!"
Without giving Liu Yu a chance to breathe, the raging greatsword, wreathed in flames, slammed heavily towards the top of her head.
Before she could dodge, in the blink of an eye, Lin Qiu's figure appeared in front of her without warning, and the surrounding space was instantly filled with an unusual aura.
Just as Liu Yu was about to dodge, she was horrified to see that her body had slowed down to an extreme speed, while Lin Qiu's punch landed on her face without any effect.
"disperse."
With a merciless shout, the sluggish space instantly cracked open with countless fissures. Liu Yu's speed returned to normal, and the invisible fluctuations that spread out instantly forced Lin Qiu and the others back into a corner of the room.
At the same time, terrifying magical power surged within Liu Yu.
"They're about to unleash their core technique, be careful!"
"She's gathering her strength, interrupt her!"
Almost the instant the fish-stealing cat finished speaking, a knight's lance made entirely of crystal's ultimate skill suddenly appeared in Lin Qiu's hand, and the next second it shot towards Liu Yu in front of him.
At that moment, Qingyuan charged forward with the spear, kicking the end of the spear and instantly bringing it to her feet.
Just when everyone thought the spear was about to strike Liu Yu, she unexpectedly interrupted the skill's casting, her figure transforming into a red butterfly and disappearing from the spot once more.
When she reappeared, she was already behind Lin Qiu—
"Remember, we...are growing too!"
The moment the soft, charming voice fell, a blinding white light shot out from Lin Qiu's body, startling Liu Yu slightly.
The next second—
"boom!!!"
Lin Qiu exploded like a bomb, blasting the unsuspecting Liu Yu into a corner.
Even though the explosion was at close range, it only tore a few holes in Liu Yu's cheongsam, without causing any real damage, but it made her look even more alluring.
"What a wicked young man! How could he bear to torment a young girl like this?"
Looking at Lin Qiu, who had appeared beside Qing Yuan with a long spear at some point, Liu Yu raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Before she could make a move, the chains that had been waiting for her instantly wrapped tightly around her body, suspending her on the wall.
"Yuanzi, go! Tie her down!!!"
