Ark Heroine Development Plan

Texas frowned, then shook his head and said, "I don't need it, Boss. If it weren't for the mission, I would go back now-"

"No."

The emperor flatly refused, "Although it's called a vacation, it's more than just a vacation. Did you get the things?"

"Take it."

"Until what's inside?"

“…” Texas shook his head.

"Very good." The emperor nodded, "Because I don't know either."

Croissant, Texas: "..."

"Don't be surprised."

The penguin raised his head and said, "Because that thing was not given to you by me, but by——"

Suddenly, the sunlight above their heads disappeared.

Croissant subconsciously raised his head, and then his mouth opened wider and wider.

Texas also raised his head, with a look of shock in his eyes.

"Boss!" Croissant stammered, "We're not transporting any munitions, are we? Absolutely not!"

"Of course not." The emperor crossed his arms, "It's something a hundred... ten thousand times more dangerous than that thing."

Croissant's eyes rolled back and he seemed to faint but didn't.

"So... we're not needed?" Texas whispered. "If that's the configuration, then we really don't need to do anything."

"Okay, stop standing there and come up."

The massive aircraft landed on the rooftop of the Penguin Logistics Building. The Emperor walked up to the gate and turned to look at Texas and Croissant.

"This thing will take you to Yan Country. You two can just have fun without worrying about it. I'll call you when the time comes, and then we'll set off to our destination."

Texas asked, "The mission's destination?"

"Correct."

The emperor pushed up his sunglasses and replied calmly:

"Kazdel."

Chapter 166: Are we leaving? Are we really leaving?

Guan Yueli stood in front of Xingxiong's house and stretched lazily.

Holding the cherry-colored sword in his hands, Xingxiong looked at his sister with some worry: "Sister... are you really not going to let Grandpa Yasha and the others follow you?"

"Oh, you asked me this so many times in bed last night."

Guan Yueli crossed his arms and said with great dissatisfaction:

"I'm not a useless person. I won't starve myself to death."

"This bottom line is too low..."

Xingxiong sighed: "I still can't let it go."

"Hmm?" Guan Yueli raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "If Xiaoxing wants to come with us, I don't mind."

"..."

Xingxiong's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to be a little moved, but he quickly shook his head and said softly: "Compared to taking care of my sister, the things here are more important."

Guan Yueli was stunned for a second, then she sniffled, covered her face and cried: "Xiaoxing has grown up, sister is so happy, wuwuwu..."

The half-covered long sleeves moved down slightly, revealing the crimson purple flowing in the pupils, and then moved up silently, shrugging her shoulders and sobbing.

"That's too fake, sis... Even I wouldn't be able to stand your shyness."

Xingxiong smiled helplessly, stretched out his hands and handed the cherry-colored sword to Guanyueli.

"Here, Sakura-kiri."

Guan Yueli lowered his sleeves and took the knife with a look of regret: "Is it really that contrived?"

Xingxiong nodded and said seriously: "It's really contrived."

"Ah..." The woman scratched her head in distress. "What should I do? I was acting seriously just now."

"Sister's acting skills can't be that bad..."

Of course, Xingxiong was referring to the time when Guanyueli was cheating on women.

"That situation is different." The scumbag woman waved her hand. "It's not like I necessarily want to do that kind of thing... Of course, if I really have no choice, I can enter that state."

Xingxiong looked at Guan Yueli in confusion: "Sister, why are you suddenly so concerned about your acting skills?"

"This is, um... a secret." Guan Yueli curled her nose proudly. "This is the key to my journey!"

Looking at his sister who was not reliable at all and who knew what kind of trouble she would cause, Xingxiong just smiled and said, "As long as my sister is happy."

"That's right! Being happy is the most important thing."

Guan Yueli laughed and patted Xingxiong on the shoulder: "Then I'll go, sister. Next time we meet, Xiaoxing must become more, more... um, more of what?"

The woman with green hair took a few steps forward, raised her head, and gently kissed Guan Yueli's lips.

She arched her eyebrows and said softly, "It's better to like Sister even more."

"……Um?"

Guan Yueli raised her eyebrows: "Isn't Xiaoxing the one who likes my sister the most now?"

Xingxiong replied with a smile: "You can like the one you like the most more."

"No, no, no." Guan Yueli shook her head vigorously, "Change it, change it."

And Xingxiong actually began to seriously think about Guan Yueli's unreasonable request. She frowned slightly and thought carefully.

Guan Yueli, with bright eyes, looked at Xingxiong expectantly, like a naughty child waiting for praise from his teacher.

"Then..."

Xingxiong's brows gradually relaxed. She reached out and hugged Guan Yueli, her face pressed against hers. She closed her eyes and said calmly and reassuredly:

"Then let's become... closer to the person I want to be."

She didn't say anything about Guan Yueli.

But Guan Yueli smiled contentedly. She rubbed Xingxiong's cheek, feeling relieved and happy:

“Isn’t this a wonderful wish?”

Xingxiong just silently hugged Guan Yueli, feeling her body temperature and heartbeat that he had felt countless times before.

No matter what, I can't let go of the tenderness and tolerance.

But no matter what I think, she will leave one day, and I will have to leave her side too.

"Okay, let's go, sister."

Xingxiong let go of his hand and smiled gently: "I'll wait for you to come back at Longmen."

"I have to prepare a delicious meal when I come back!"

"Yeah, of course."

She stood there, watching Guan Yueli walk away alone.

Sadness is not that sad, and sorrow is not that sad.

"You have to get used to it."

Even until the cherry-colored figure disappeared from her sight, Xingxiong still did not leave. She just whispered to herself:

"Don't forget what you promised me, Xingxiong."

To become the better version of yourself that you desire.

"Then... let's start from now."

Xingxiong took a deep breath, clearing his mind of all distracting thoughts. The tenderness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a cold and hard look that was no different from steel.

"This time, it all depends on our tacit understanding——"

"Xiao Chen."

……

"Hey, pretty girl, we're here."

The driver turned around and reminded.

Chen's thoughts suddenly returned to reality. She subconsciously hugged the cloth-wrapped thing in her arms tightly and nodded: "How much is the fare?"

"100."

"...Why don't you just rob it?" Chen's eyelids twitched, and he suppressed the urge to take out his police officer ID from his pocket.

"Come on, pretty girl, this area is the Wuxian Society's territory. You look like..." He looked Chen up and down, "Are you here to cause trouble? Although people are looking for trouble with the Wuxian Society every day, what if I get implicated? This hundred yuan is not expensive, otherwise, if they change to a black car, they will take your body."

The driver took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth: "It's still not too late to turn back now. I'll only charge you thirty yuan."

Chen threw a hundred dollars on the back seat, opened the car door and left without saying a word.

"Girls nowadays..." The driver shook his head and drove away.

Chen put on a hood, held an object wrapped in cloth, and walked on the street with his head slightly lowered, looking extremely suspicious.

But in fact, this kind of look is common in this chaotic area. There are many slum gangs. One of the specialties of this kind of place is people with suspicious behavior. Chen's outfit is not very conspicuous.

In fact, no matter from what angle, there is no reason for Chen to act on his own - if it was Chen Huijie who had just joined the company, he would be so angry that he would draw his sword and want to kill himself.

But growth is such an interesting thing, affirming oneself, denying oneself, sublimating oneself, overthrowing oneself... forging an indestructible will in endless contradictions.

Of course, the most important thing is that everything is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Right and wrong are not what we see at the moment.

……

"Where is she now?"

"This is the Wujian Society's territory. She has no choice. If she wants to continue the investigation, she can only take this path."

"Very good. How about Wei Yanwu?"

"He didn't react. Just as the analysis suggests, he's used to that girl's willful behavior. Both he and she are used to that gentleman covering for them."

"Haha, that really... couldn't be better."

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"Has the young man already taken his payment from the Penguin?"

"Yes."

"Then just wait."

In the capital of Great Yan, at the feet of the emperor, in a mansion that only a prince above ten thousand people could own, someone sat high in the main seat, drinking tea and chatting:

"Wei Yanwu has been in charge of Longmen for over twenty years. If you want to take this city from him, you'll need twenty years of patience."

"It just so happens that we have a chess piece that couldn't be better."

"A brave girl...who stood up to her uncle."

Chapter 167 - Choice

"You have an opportunity to change your life."

"To do it, or not to do it?"

Wu Mingjin suddenly woke up, covered in cold sweat.

In front of him, a young thug looked puzzled: "Boss, did you not sleep well last night?"

Wu Mingjin, who was sitting on a chair, waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You can go out first."
