Ark Heroine Development Plan

"...Even the title of the Imperial Guard Bureau is useless?"

“It doesn’t work.”

"It's another difficult task..."

As they were chatting, they came to a fork in the road. Xingxiong walked the other way and waved to Chen: "I wish you good luck with this case, Xiao Chen. If there's anything I can help with, please feel free to ask."

Chen nodded gently: "Sure."

Standing in front of the traffic light, Chen looked at the passing vehicles and exhaled slowly.

We must keep Guan Yueli’s affairs in mind, but at the moment, we still have to deal with the present matter.

Chen Duxin, with his own abilities, will definitely get to the bottom of this bizarre car accident.

To be precise, as long as it is not related to that woman, there has been no case that has stumped her so far.

Chapter 16 - Of course a bad woman must have good acting skills

The Penguin Logistics office is supposed to be always noisy.

Even though the girls are still in the adjustment period as new colleagues, they have already gotten along very well.

But this time, the office was unexpectedly quiet.

"How long do we have to wait..."

The Angel held his waist and said, "It's tiring to sit so seriously."

"The boss said that the person he found for us is very dangerous."

The cold Luper lowered his head to work: "Don't leave a bad impression on her."

"The back is Texas, you think."

Exiah held his chin with one hand and sighed, "How could the boss possibly choose someone who is so incompatible with us to partner up with? To me, there's no point in being so serious."

"Mastema, what do you think?"

"Ok?"

The blue-haired fallen angel who had been taking a nap with his eyes closed opened them and smiled gently:

"Rather than being sociable or not, I really care about what the boss emphasizes."

"'Follow her orders as if they were mine.'"

"It sounds like..." Croissant stroked his chin, "It seems the boss doesn't consider this consultant to be an employee."

"After all, someone who specifically told us to be wary of him must be very powerful." Sora was a little confused. "Although I don't know what this... wariness, exactly, means."

While everyone was speculating about the consultant's appearance, only Exiah was sighing, "A party! We should have a party! Wouldn't it be worse to welcome them like this?"

"You'll just mess everything up by having a party."

Texas deadpanned.

She didn't want the consultant to get creamed in the face by some over-the-top angel at the party.

Mastema nodded approvingly, "I absolutely agree with this."

"plus one."

"I think Texas is right..."

"What?" Exiah was a little disappointed. "It's time to show the new consultants the cultural enterprise of Penguin Logistics."

"Did we ever have anything like that?"

"Uh, the boss seemed to have said... 'Do whatever you want'?"

"That was last week."

"It's party time!"

"It absolutely cannot be this!"

The office, which had been relatively quiet, became noisy again. Texas sighed, and Mostima smiled without saying anything.

Just then, the office door was kicked open.

“Employees!”

The deep and hoarse voice uttered a pure Yan country accent:

"Today I'd like to introduce you to Penguin Logistics' new... external hire."

"...Outside employment?" Angelic's eyes widened. "Boss, I know you're not a serious businessman, but he's a consultant. It's unreasonable not to give him a formal contract."

"She doesn't care about that kind of stuff."

The emperor crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Besides, if I get too involved with that guy, my investment will be wasted. She's just a figurehead, which is good for everyone."

Mastema narrowed her eyes slightly. "Then this advisor... is truly dangerous."

"As long as you understand... Hey, Guanyue, it's your turn."

He swaggered out of the way, but still looked majestic.

Exia came up to Texas and whispered, "Texas, what kind of woman is this that just came in?"

Texas ignored her.

"I think it should be that kind of, um... like the mastermind in TV dramas, wrapped in a robe, with no face showing, small and eerie."

She nodded as a matter of course: "That fits the image the boss described. Dangerous, but also a professional consultant, no need to do anything, a nuisance... The more I think about it, the more it resembles the image."

Then, a wisp of fluttering cherry blossoms appeared at the door.

"Thinking about it, maybe she's the type who can't fight because of her weak body, so she has to use tricks to make up for it. She's very cute, and her body is very delicate..."

The voice of the Archangel, who was enthusiastically telling Texas about his ideas, gradually became quieter.

"Very petite..."

She muttered to herself, then gradually raised her head and looked up at the tall woman who came in.

Croissant and Sora had the same reaction as her, Texas' face was filled with confusion, and the smile on Mastema's face disappeared for a moment, but it quickly returned.

"first meet."

The woman in the cherry-colored kimono chuckled and said:

"I will be here to guide you for a while. You can call me...Guan Yue."

"Ah, this, that..."

Exiah fell silent and scratched his head, Croissant was at a loss, and Sora stumbled over his words.

The most approachable and responsible for communication, she was tongue-tied. Under the woman's smiling gaze, her face became redder and redder. Finally, she suddenly bowed and blurted out something in Dongguo dialect.

"よろしくお愿いします!"

Those who were not familiar with this were confused and could only bow and repeat the previous sentence in broken Dongguo dialect.

"This really is...something that makes me miss it."

Guan Yueli smiled and patted the hilt of the knife. An invisible air current lifted the girls up directly. "I haven't heard anyone say this to me for a while."

Only then did they recover from their previous shock and really began to look at this "consultant".

[Wow... this is too exaggerated] Exiah was shocked. [Where did the boss find this beautiful woman?]

"Wow, what an amazing fabric! And such soft hair!" Croissant was quite shocked. "This sister seems to be incredibly rich!"

[Wow… This aura, this big sister is a hundred times more powerful than the most powerful idol I’ve ever seen!] Sora’s eyes were full of stars.

"Oni... nodachi... katana... two? Her clothes are too loose to reveal her figure... but judging by her chest alone, she doesn't look like a fighter. But that technique just now, was it magic?" Texas silently assessed her combat prowess.

[This aura... The boss really found us an incredible consultant.] Mastema smiled helplessly. [Broken horn, twin blades, cherry-colored hair, it seems she's not the one from the travelogue legend. But this aura... who is she to that person?]

The girls had their own thoughts, but Guan Yueli just smiled gently and let them observe her.

Even the emperor was almost deceived by her gentle and quiet appearance.

No one noticed the roll of his eyes behind the sunglasses. The emperor looked up at Guan Yueli, then looked at the girls who were still looking at Guan Yueli and shook his head.

"I'll leave this place to you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask her. I have business to discuss. I'm leaving now."

Before leaving, the emperor turned back and reminded:

"Guanyue, be careful."

The woman raised her lips and said, "I know my limits."

As soon as the emperor left, the atmosphere finally changed with all the people in the room being women.

"Um, Guanyue...Advisor."

The question-filled Angel was the first to speak: "What should we call you?"

"It's all fine, consultant, Miss, sister, Madam, auntie, I don't care." Guan Yueli answered her with a smile.

Angel of Exiah shook her head vigorously: "Forget about Madam and Auntie, just call her... Miss Guanyue."

She stood on tiptoe and could only barely reach Guan Yueli's chin, so she said with envy, "Miss Guan Yue is really tall!"

"Racial advantage." Guan Yueli touched the fluffy red short hair under the fluorescent light. The latter laughed and put his hands behind his back, looking very pleased.

"Sister Guanyue, Sister Guanyue!" Croissant came closer with sparkling eyes. "What brand of shampoo do you use? It must be expensive!"

"I don't care about brands."

"Huh?!" Croissant was shocked. "Then, what about maintenance?"

"That's too much trouble."

"Just...do nothing, is that all that's left?"

The girl, who never skimped on her own money, looked frustrated: "People are so different from each other."

"Well... I can teach you some dietary supplements. They should be helpful." Guan Yueli said with a smile, "They're also good for your skin."

"Sister Guanyue, you will be my real sister from now on!"

"Um, Guanyue...sister."

The idol lady, with blushing cheeks, curled her ears cautiously: "Can I... shake your hand?"

Guan Yueli was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand with a smile: "Why not?"

The five slender, white and perfectly proportioned fingers were placed in front of Kong. The other girls couldn't help but subconsciously sigh that every part of this woman's body was so perfect.

Kong, who was holding Guan Yueli's hand, didn't even try to feel the soft, tender and slightly cool touch.

Because she seemed to have touched the pinnacle of her childhood ideal, that perfect, naturally elegant image that every girl wanted to be... [absolutely beautiful].

"If Sister Guanyue becomes an idol, everyone will go crazy."

She couldn't help but whispered.

"But an idol's job isn't supposed to drive people crazy, is it?" Guan Yueli asked back gently.

Kong stared at her blankly for a long time before realizing that he had been holding her hand for too long. He quickly let go shyly, but was also filled with joy as he nodded vigorously at her with a happy look on his face.

As for the other two…

Mostima didn't say much, but maintained her usual smile and said something quite polite: "Ms. Guanyue, please take care of me at work."

Guan Yueli and the blue-haired fallen angel's eyes met for less than a second.

"Of course." Guan Yueli's tone was calm and gentle, "This is my job."

This is really... a pleasant surprise. The ghost woman's interest in these girls is getting higher and higher.

"Consultant Moon Watcher," Texas said calmly. "What kind of guidance do you offer? Business? Courier work? Or... combat?"

"All of them."

Guan Yueli looked at the girl he had the greatest sexual interest in with a smile: "You can ask me if you have any questions. I will also point out any problems I think you have."

"I will... help you well."

She smiled with narrowed eyes.
