Fortunately, Ryu found out about it soon.
Ryu's colleagues, Chloe and Lunova, who work at the lavish hostess's house, were both assassins in the black market, nicknamed "Black Cat" and "Black Fist," with an almost 100% mission completion rate.
Their last job was to kill the wanted criminal "Wind".
As a result, they became friends despite their initial conflict, and like Liu, they were taken in by Mia and worked as waitresses in the wealthy hostess's household.
After the bounty circulated on the black market, the two quickly heard about it and informed Ryu.
"This is probably a bounty offered by someone who doesn't want to see the Astrea Familia rise again."
Both of them looked somewhat worried.
In the past, the Astrea Familia was loved by many weaker Families, but also offended many others.
Upon hearing that the Astrea Familia had actually regrouped, they immediately took action.
Ryu found Mia and bowed apologetically to her.
"I'm sorry, Mia's mom. I might not be able to come to work for a while."
Mia stared at Ryu with a blank expression.
Just when everyone thought she was angry, Mia spoke up.
"Ryu. Do you want to go back?"
Lunova and Chloe both looked on with envy.
Their chief deity was also sent back to the heavens, and after wandering through several clans, they finally found their home with the "abundant mistress".
Even more unexpectedly, Ryu was able to return to the Astrea Familia one day.
Anya and Seele, standing to the side, looked reluctant to part.
Ryu was very interested in this, but in the end she gently shook her head.
"No, it would cause them trouble if I went back openly. It's already good enough that I can stay by the goddess's side as often as I am now."
Seeing Liu say that, Mia glanced at Xier briefly.
She nodded after receiving a signal from the other party.
"Okay, I agree."
Anya threw herself into Ryu's arms and cried out happily.
"It's so good that Ryu can stay, meow!"
The others also smiled.
……
Two days had passed since Chloe and Lunova received the message.
Before they told Ryu, Natsumi had already been attacked.
After all, with silver hair and black eyes, and coming from the Far East, his features were too obvious.
He was fighting a group of killer ants and needle rabbits on the seventh floor when suddenly a cold arrow shot from behind!
puff!
The arrow pierced Xia Zhi's throat, and blood flowed uncontrollably.
Xia Zhi collapsed to the ground, her eyes wide open, dying with her eyes still open.
"Haha, that's so easy!"
Three adventurers emerged from a corner of the labyrinth.
"Three million Vali in hand? If only all money were this easy to earn!"
The three of them worked together and quickly wiped out the killer ants and thorny rabbits in the surrounding area.
A thief approached Xia Zhi, intending to cut off her head for the reward, but the "dead" Xia Zhi suddenly came to life!
With a single sweep of his sword, he caught the thief completely off guard, and half of his throat was slit open.
puff!
The thief dropped the dagger in his hand, clutched his throat, took two steps back, and looked at Xia Zhi in disbelief.
The arrow clearly pierced his throat, so how come this man is still alive?
"what?"
"kill!"
The archer was startled and quickly tried to create some distance.
But Xia Zhi stepped forward, her right hand holding a long sword aimed at his heart.
At the same time, the last adventurer charged forward, axe in hand.
He watched as Xia Zhi relentlessly pursued the archers, and in a desperate move, he attacked Xia Zhi with an axe!
But Xia Zhi ignored him.
He slightly turned to the side, letting the adventurer cut off his left arm, then chased after him and stabbed the archer in the heart with his sword, sending him to his death.
Xia Zhi's left arm was severed, but the bleeding from the wound stopped quickly.
At the same time, a new arm immediately grew from Xia Zhi's wound!
The adventurer wielding the axe gasped, took two steps back, and his face turned pale.
"What exactly are you?!"
Xia Zhi reached out and pulled the arrow out of his throat.
Another spurt of blood gushed from his throat, but the wound healed rapidly.
He didn't waste any more time arguing with the adventurer; he'd ask his soul directly if he had any questions later!
The axe-wielding adventurer is not a LV1 newbie, but a LV2 advanced adventurer, and also the leader of the trio.
Even a level 2 adventurer can defeat Xia Zhi without taking any damage thanks to his swordsmanship.
But now he has no idea if there are any ambushes around, and he has no time to waste.
Xia Zhi simply resorted to exchanging injuries for injuries, preferring to have his belly cut open and his intestines spill out, rather than let the other person's hands and feet be crippled first.
Summer Solstice's injuries heal quickly, but the axe-wielding adventurer's do not.
In this situation, the axe-wielding adventurer becomes increasingly desperate as the fight progresses.
Finally, Xia Zhi clashed head-on with the desperate axe-wielding adventurer. Xia Zhi's axe cleaved from her collarbone to her chest, but she also managed to slit the axe-wielding adventurer's neck with her sword.
Xia Zhi threw away the axe that was almost stuck in his stomach, placed his hands on the corpses of the three adventurers, and devoured them one by one.
A monster feast just occurred here, and no monsters will appear for a while.
Xia Zhi sat cross-legged, activating the Soul Devouring Technique, intending to absorb the souls of the three adventurers to see what the situation was.
He discovered that there were no souls around him.
"Ascension? No wonder this is a world where gods roam freely; they're incredibly fast!"
Chapter 206 Data Update
In the dungeon, you need to collect the weapons and armor of the fallen adventurers.
Otherwise, these weapons and armor might fall into the hands of monsters.
The monsters in the dungeon are a bit less intelligent, but they're not stupid.
Xia Zhi took off her tattered leather armor, rolled it up with the armor of the three adventurers, and stuffed it into her bag.
He left the dungeon with a long sword and a short knife at his waist, a bag and bow and arrows on his back, an axe in his hand, and a large bag on his back.
His first need was to figure out what was going on and why these adventurers were attacking him.
When Eina was exchanging magic stones and rare materials for fali, she was startled by Xia Zhi's condition.
After looking Xia Zhi up and down and making sure he wasn't injured, Eina finally felt relieved.
Then he reminded Xia Zhi again that as an adventurer, he must never take risks.
Although she was a bit long-winded, it was precisely because of Eina's serious and responsible attitude that many male adventurers appointed her as their adventurer advisor.
At her home in the sixth ring of Orario, Astrea was startled to see Xia Zhi return shirtless while cooking.
Although Ryu had some reservations about Astrea having to cook for her, she kept quiet once she got to eat a meal made by the goddess herself.
Astraea looked at the pile of weapons and asked Xia Zhi.
"what happened?"
"I was attacked by three adventurers in the dungeon. These are their weapons."
Summer Solstice put these weapons into the storage room.
Astraea's Familia cannot remain with only him forever; these weapons can be provided to future newcomers.
"I don't know if these adventurers are specifically targeting me, or if they've discovered I'm a lone wolf and are planning to pull off a heist. My current condition is at most comparable to a level 3 adventurer, no more than that. Just in case, I came back first."
While he was talking to Astraea, Ryu also returned.
She stared at Xia Zhi, who was shirtless, and suddenly froze.
"This is?"
Before she could even start thinking, Astraea said with a serious expression.
"Ryu, Xia Zhi has been attacked."
"what?"
Liu narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint in his eyes.
"They moved so fast!"
Ryu tells Astrea and Xia Zhi herself that Xia Zhi has a three million fali bounty on his head in the black market.
"This bounty is aimed at the Astrea Familia! Someone doesn't want to see the Astrea Familia, which has been dormant for almost five years, rise again!"
Liu clenched her fists and said solemnly to Xia Zhi.
"I've already asked Mother Mia for leave. From now on, I'll go into the dungeon with you and lie in ambush. Once we've killed a bunch of people, they'll know how powerful we are!"
"Then I'd love to."
Xia Zhi put the Walli she had earned that day on the table, seemingly not very concerned about it.
"Tomorrow is the grand festival held by Ganesha. Ladies, take this money and enjoy the festival."
"You should keep this money to buy new armor."
Astraea rejected Xia Zhi and hugged Liu, who was standing next to her.
She pressed her face against Liu's and laughed happily.
"I'm going to the festival with Ryu tomorrow! It's been years since we've enjoyed a festival."
Astrea held her close, Ryu's eyes turned into circles, her face grew redder and redder, and her voice became softer and softer.
"But Lady Astraea, what if my identity is exposed..."
Despite saying that, judging from Ryuna's insincere expression, she was clearly looking forward to the opportunity to stroll through the festival with Astrea!
Astraea smiled even more broadly when she saw that Ryu did not refuse.
"It's okay, it's okay, no one will find out!"
Liu didn't understand, but Xia Zhi did.
Astrea came to Orario for two reasons: to avenge her clan and to check on Ryu's situation.
Now that Ryu has avenged her, and Ryu herself is unharmed, her focus naturally shifts to Ryu.
If Ryu's identity is exposed, Astraea will probably just take her and run away back to the heavens, and the other gods won't say anything.
Xia Zhi, who was originally sent to help Astrea get revenge, is now useless!
"She's a goddess in real life."
