Who says those who retire at the speed of light are not heroes?

"Oh." She nodded perfunctorily.

................................................

Grape stood quietly at the bar, mixing glass of wine for Lin Cheng and Lu Xiaoxiao. At ten o'clock, Litchi yawned, held Lemon's hand and went back to sleep. As Lu Xiaoxiao drank, she felt more and more dizzy, then she lay down on the table and fell asleep.

Lin Cheng gently shook Lu Xiaoxiao's shoulders, and only heard a very soft mumbling, "I'm sleepy."

Grape said calmly, "I added sleeping grass to his wine. She should sleep until ten in the morning."

Lin Cheng was stunned and tilted his head, "Huh?"

"Because I need your help with something." Grape's eyes were cold and clear. Lin Cheng scratched his head, "What's the matter?"

"Lemon came to me excitedly at noon and asked me if I wanted to try what it was like to be a mother."

"what?"

Lemon often has strange inventions. If Litchi is busy, she will go to Grape to show off, and Grape will listen to her talk quietly.

"Then I tasted the potion she made, the third one she gave you."

Lin Cheng's eyes subconsciously looked at Grape's heavy chest. Then he raised his head and saw Grape biting her lips and said, "I have used energy to suppress the effect of the medicine, but the lemon medicine is so strong that I can't suppress it anymore... When I was taking a shower in the afternoon, a little bit of it started to overflow..."

“S-So…?”

"I... myself... can't bite..."

A bunch of question marks popped up in Lin Cheng's head. Could this be Litchi's trick? No, Litchi definitely didn't do this. Could this really be a wonderful misunderstanding? Or was it Lemon's prank?

"I think...why don't you try...hold it up and squeeze it...?"

"If... I can't do it..." Grape's eyes stared straight at him, "Will you help me?"

"How about letting Litchi come?"

"This kind of thing... How can I be so embarrassed... Please, please Lizhi, I, I dare not tell her... If I tell her, she will spank me."

Grape dotes on Lemon very much. When Litchi is busy, Lemon comes to play with Grape. The two of them will play flying chess together. Lemon likes to sleep in Grape's arms.

Grape stared at Lin Cheng without blinking, and Lin Cheng touched his face.

Damn, why is your face red?

....................................

The second floor of the bar is Grape's bedroom, which is not far from Rose Street. The room is decorated very warmly. Grape sits on the edge of the bed. Lin Cheng always feels that he is the one who is a little at a loss at the moment.

My head is dizzy.

"This, this isn't...have we done it?" Lin Cheng stuttered.

"But... I feel... there is still..."

"How about I ask Jiang Lingxue to help you...?"

"Then why don't you help me?"

"This, no, it's not good."

"Lizhi said that I am usually too well-behaved to you, so... you always disobey me."

"No, she's talking nonsense."

"Then..." Grape's legs were crossed under her maid's skirt, and her toes were still tiptoeing in black high-heeled shoes. The black uppers formed a subtle contrast with the insteps wrapped in transparent white silk. She raised her chin slightly, and the coldness in her eyes did not diminish at all.

She never blushed, and her dark pupils were focused on his eyes at this moment. The murderous aura that once belonged to the Silver Wing leader suddenly emanated from her body, and her previous softness and obedience seemed to be just an illusion of Lin Cheng.

"I command you to help me."

She raised her slender hands wearing white lace gloves, and easily pulled Lin Cheng in front of her with her energy. Her fingertips gently grasped Lin Cheng's collar, forcing his waist to bend a little.

"Did you hear that?" Grape's voice was cold.

152 I want to see him

"So good." Grape reached out and rubbed his head gently, but the next second, her fingertips gently lifted Lin Cheng's chin.

“No waste.”

She gave orders word by word, and only when she saw Lin Cheng's Adam's apple roll did she smile like a flower.

....................................

Lu Xiaoxiao was moved to Grape's bed by Lin Cheng.

Grape's bed was very big, and the bathroom was next door. Lin Cheng was looking after Lu Xiaoxiao in the room, waiting for Grape to come back. After a while, Grape came out in her nightgown. Her skin was really too white. The contrast between the black nightgown and the white skin made Lin Cheng feel a little dazzled. Lu Xiaoxiao would not wake up for a while. Lin Cheng thought about it and looked at Grape, "Then I will take her back?"

“It’s raining heavily outside.”

"Then...you sleep in the middle?"

"Don't you want to sleep in the middle?" Grape walked to Lin Cheng's side. She lowered her head slightly and touched Lin Cheng's chin with her fingertips. "If I sleep in the middle, I might want to strangle her to death."

So Lin Cheng lay between the two girls. Lu Xiaoxiao slept soundly, and Grape also hugged his arm. But Lin Cheng felt a little nervous. He could only look at the ceiling, as it seemed that he couldn't look to the side any more.

Fortunately, it was raining heavily outside the window, and the sound of the rain made him feel tired quickly.

....................................

The next day.

Lu Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and sat up.

At this moment, Lin Cheng and Grape beside her were still sleeping soundly. Grape's body was curled up in Lin Cheng's arms, and Lin Cheng's hands were on her snow-white buttocks under her skirt. Both of them seemed to be sleeping soundly. Lu Xiaoxiao recalled that she had drunk too much again last night.

She glanced at the time and suddenly remembered that she still had things to do today, so she got up in a hurry, tidied her clothes, and ran out. Soon she arrived at the training ground of the alliance branch. The audience was already full of people, and she arrived at 10:30. She was late for her competition today.

She was coming to attend an exchange conference within the alliance.

The exchange meeting is a place for arbitrators from different alliances to learn from each other. It is held every year, and arbitrators of different levels are divided into different groups. Although Lu Xiaoxiao is only A-level, she signed up for the S-level group. After all, it is too much for her to bully A-level with her current strength. But many people are particularly surprised by her decision... If Lu Lingling hadn't opened a back door for her, she might not have been able to register successfully.

As a result, she was late for the first competition today.

At this moment, there were already two other S-level physical-strength warriors fighting on the ring, and the winner was quickly decided. There was applause and discussion from the audience, most of whom were talking about how the strength of the judges had been steadily increasing this year, and all of this was thanks to the set of alchemical contact lenses that had been ordered, and the way the energy worked provided by Lu Xiaoxiao.

Lu Lingling was also in the audience at the moment. She looked at the slightly reckless Lu Xiaoxiao and said calmly, "You're late."

In front of outsiders, Lu Lingling's tone towards Lu Xiaoxiao was always harsher. Lu Xiaoxiao bit her lip lightly, with a somewhat apologetic look on her face, "Some things delayed me, I'm sorry... Can I have another fight with my opponent?"

"He has already advanced after fighting with others. If you want to challenge him, Xia Ning is the only one left today."

"Then let's choose her." Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the white-haired girl sitting in the audience.

She is the Arbiter idol launched by the Alliance. She has many fans. She is also an S-level ability user and has used the evolutionary blood left by Sima Ming. After she said that, Xia Ning stood up.

Of course Xia Ning also knew Lu Xiaoxiao. Lu Xiaoxiao was quite famous in the alliance. After all, she was Lu Lingling's biological daughter. She had delayed Wu Zun for more than ten minutes with her own strength some time ago. She jumped lightly onto the stage and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao below the stage. "Then it's me and Sister Xiaoxiao."

Lu Xiaoxiao also stepped onto the stage. There was no referee on the stage. If she wanted to use weapons, she could choose a weapon that suits her. Lu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and chose a standard long sword of the alliance, while Xia Ning chose a revolver loaded with six exploding water balloon anesthetic bullets. The bullets themselves had no lethality, but the water balloons would explode after contacting the target and cause anesthetic effects after contacting the skin.

..........................................

The space of the arena was very wide, a full twenty meters in length. There were also quite a few S-level judges watching the match below the stage. After all, the battle between people with special abilities was a particularly interesting sight. When the countdown on the stage ended, Xia Ning's eyes lit up slightly.

Her ability is mental, mainly illusion.

Energy can resist spiritual power to a certain extent, but it cannot resist all of it, so Lu Xiaoxiao swung the knife following Xia Ning's breath in the first instant, and Xia Ning also pulled the safety bolt and pulled the trigger at that moment.

A distance of twenty meters, within seven steps.

A gun is not faster than a knife.

Lin Cheng had already taught Lu Xiaoxiao the technique of releasing energy at one point, so her body was like a flashing light, and she came to Xia Ning's side in an instant, slashing at her body with a standard long sword, and at that moment all the energy exploded on her arm. She was not worried that this sword would kill Xia Ning, after all, there was the strongest healing ability user in the league on the field, even if her head and body were separated, he could save her with his preparation.

But the knife hit nothing.

When Lu Xiaoxiao reacted, the bullet had already landed in her chest and exploded. The anesthetic gas in the bullet entered her body in an instant. The bullet was shot from above her.

"It's an illusion." At this moment, Xia Ning was suspended in the air and pulled the trigger again.

Lu Xiaoxiao dodged sideways and threw the long knife in her hand, but the long knife easily pierced through Xia Ning's body again. Only then did she come to her senses. The Xia Ning who was floating before was also an illusion. Even the source of the sound was an illusion she constructed. The real Xia Ning was standing behind her, and the bullet hit her back.

The spiritual type is particularly restrained by the physical type, but the subtle thing is that Lu Xiaoxiao is not a physical type.

This time, the ice spike beside her shot directly towards the trajectory of the bullet. The sound could be faked, but the gun line could not. However, this time the ice spike missed again.

Lu Xiaoxiao turned around, and suddenly thousands of water droplets appeared in the air, floating in the air, almost covering the entire arena. There was no one in her sight. She tried hard to sense the water flow, trying to find Xia Ning's trace, but Xia Ning's body seemed to have disappeared completely, and there was no trace of her at all.

In a trance, she seemed to hear a sigh, and the bullet sounded again. This time, the gun barrel was directly in front of Lu Xiaoxiao's head. Although Lu Xiaoxiao had consciously raised her legs, the bullet had hit her right in the middle of her eyebrows.

"I won, Sister Xiaoxiao."

There was a hint of apology in Xia Ning's eyes and an elegant smile on her lips. She reached out and gently pulled Lu Xiaoxiao's fallen body.

....................................

When Lu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes again, she was already sitting in the audience, with Xia Ning sitting next to her. The healing ability user had cleared the anesthesia in her head. She looked back at the white-haired girl sitting aside, quietly looking at the stage, and finally couldn't help asking, "How did you avoid those ice spikes?"

"This is a secret." Xia Ning showed a sly smile, "If you want to know, Sister Xiaoxiao has to buy me milk tea."

Xia Ning was still wearing the white uniform of the Alliance. Her calves were smooth and white under the knee-length skirt. Lu Xiaoxiao nodded gently and continued to watch the battles between other S-level judges of the Alliance with her. Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at Xia Ning's profile. Her eyes seemed very gentle, but always gave Lu Xiaoxiao a feeling of alienation. She didn't seem to pay attention to all this.

The competition ended at four o'clock in the afternoon. There were about one or two hundred people who advanced, but Lu Xiaoxiao was eliminated in the first round. She and Xia Ning left the training venue together. Xia Ning happily sat in the passenger seat of her car, and Lu Xiaoxiao drove to the milk tea shop she mentioned.

"Then please help me line up, Sister Xiaoxiao."

The newly opened milk tea shop does not do takeout, and Xia Ning's identity is easy to recognize as soon as she appears. Xia Ning clasped her hands together and looked pleading. Lu Xiaoxiao got off the car and queued for half an hour to buy the flavor Xia Ning wanted. Xia Ning took a sip with a straw and a satisfied look on her face, "Because my ability is not just to create illusions."

"What is that?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked subconsciously.

But Xia Ning just smiled and said nothing. After a moment, Lu Xiaoxiao realized that she had overstepped her bounds. After all, if she wanted to keep it a secret, it was indeed her secret.

"If you want to know the secret, you have to trade it for the secret."

"What do you want to know?" Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

"If I remember correctly, Sister Xiaoxiao is very familiar with the man named Lin Cheng, right?"

"Yes."

"He's a member of the fruit shop?"

"Yes."

"I wonder...is he the only man in the fruit shop?"

"Yes."

"Then could you please ask Sister Xiaoxiao to help me arrange a meeting with him?"

"What do you want to do?" Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

"No, no, it's just... I heard that he killed Wu Zun in a duel last time, so I wanted to get to know him." Xia Ning answered gently. Lu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"Hey, is it troublesome?"

"I guess so. He prefers to be alone and doesn't like to meet strangers." Lu Xiaoxiao lied without blushing.

She took another look at Xia Ning in front of her. Xia Ning was the sweet type who was cute, well-behaved and cute. She always felt that Lin Cheng would not let even such a person go. Lying was for her own good, yes, for her own good.

"I just want to get to know him, I don't have any other ideas, and I'm also very familiar with Jiang Lingxue from their fruit shop. She and I are roommates." Xia Ning blinked at Lu Xiaoxiao, "And... I'm not interested in men."

"Then why do you want to know him?" Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Xia Ning took out a lollipop and put it in her mouth. "If nothing unexpected happens, he should be my love rival. I want to see what kind of man is the one who can make Jiang Lingxue's heart beat. That's all."

153 Hehe

The next day, noon.

Lin Cheng received a strange friend request. The person's nickname was Xia Ning. The name sounded vaguely familiar. Lin Cheng recalled for a long time before he remembered that it should be the silver-haired girl idol.

She was eavesdropping when he and Jiang Lingxue were having an awkward conversation that day, but she was just eavesdropping and couldn't see the outline of his face. Why did she suddenly add her now? Lin Cheng chose to accept the message out of curiosity, and then sent a cat picture, "Who are you?"

"I'm Jiang Lingxue's roommate, Xia Ning."

"Oh, hello, what's up?"

"I heard from Xue that you have always taken good care of her. I want to treat you to a meal, so that you can get to know Xue's friends and apologize for using my ability to interrogate you last time."

Lin Cheng had a strange expression on his face.
