Ark Heroine Development Plan

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot Xiao Chen actually said this just a few hours ago. Ah... my memory is not so good when I get older."

"But it's not a big deal, right? After all, it was just something I said a few hours ago..."

Guan Yueli looked like she was about to burst out laughing: "It's completely possible to withdraw now."

Chen lowered his head, turned around silently, and left.

"Hey, Officer Chen, don't go looking for death just because of what I said!" Guan Yueli shouted, "Waiting for your companions to arrive was indeed a very correct choice. It's absolutely not wrong!"

"but……"

Guan Yueli's voice suddenly became "softer", but even though it became softer, it was still so clear in Chen's ears.

"You might have a better choice now, right?"

Chen suddenly turned around and stared at the woman who was looking at him with the frivolous eyes that he hated so much.

A better...choice.

Yes, she now has a better option, a more perfect, more direct option.

Because before her eyes, there was a monster that was a thousand times more terrifying than any other monster.

"Are you... willing to take action?" Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking, his voice dry.

Chen didn't have any expectations for Guan Yueli, because he thought he was familiar enough with this woman. She was just sitting there for fun. If she wanted to make a move, she would have done it long ago, unless...

At this moment, looking at Guan Yueli with a smile on his face, Chen finally understood Guan Yueli's intention of coming here.

She was indeed there to have fun and see some jokes, but… she wasn't there to take pleasure in the sight of that steel beast wreaking havoc on Dragon Gate.

She came to laugh at her own joke.

"Take action? Well... but you can."

The woman looked a bit embarrassed. "But, I'm an unjust person. I'm an enemy of the Imperial Guards, and I've been declared an unjust person by the Grand Inspector."

That beautiful mature face was full of confusion:

"This kind of person doesn't seem suitable to help the officers of the Imperial Guard, right? Right? No, no... It's not a question of suitability, it's that this kind of person should not be able to help the officers of the Imperial Guard, right?"

"You said...Officer Chen."

Guan Yueli smiled and said, "Should I conform to this character a little bit?"

Chen didn't say anything.

"Why doesn't Officer Chen speak?"

Guan Yueli jumped off the gravel and paced leisurely beside Chen.

"Ah, can you please demonstrate that, that... 'The justice I uphold in this life will never bow to you...' Hahahaha, I will never... Hahahahaha... bow my head... Haha..."

The woman who was laughing heartily took a while to calm down. "I'm sorry, Officer Chen, I just thought of something, um... something very interesting. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

The young dragon stood there without saying a word, but his body was visibly shaking.

Then, Guan Yueli put his hand on Chen's shoulder.

"So, are you going to bow to me, Officer Chen?" She leaned over to Chen's ear and said with great joy:

"Are you going to bow down to me, a person who is unrighteous in your eyes?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Absolutely not, right? After all, our companions will be arriving soon. If we just wait a little longer, we can easily take out this giant together. We can then share the credit and have a celebration party when we return. What's wrong with that?"

"It's just... a few more minutes of destruction, a few more houses demolished, a few more deaths... There's absolutely no need to let your ideals bow to an unjust person like me over such a trivial matter, right?"

"Time is ticking away, Officer Chen."

The woman gently put her arms around Chen's neck from behind, and her two strong big rabbits gently massaged the back of Chen's head.

"Destruction and ruin are happening every second. Have you made your choice?"

The ghost whispered softly in the dragon's ear:

"Are you going to beg an unjust person like me for strength... to practice your justice? Are you willing to let your justice and correctness... become like this?"

The time that followed seemed to pass very, very long.

But actually... only a second had passed.

Because of this problem, this kind of thing does not need to be considered in the eyes of today's young people.

If she could have gotten rid of that monster earlier, how could she... let that steel beast wreak havoc just because she suffered humiliation!

The justice and correctness she insisted on were not meant to become an obstacle to her protecting Longmen at this moment!

“Help them…”

A soft murmur came from Guan Yueli's arms.

Of course, the bad woman heard these three words clearly, but the tone of these three words... obviously flipped every switch in the bad woman's heart.

"Is this the attitude of asking for help?"

She hugged the young dragon tightly in her arms, tenderly yet cruelly. "Can't you even say 'please' or 'I beg you'? Come, respectfully, aggrievedly, unwillingly, repeat what I just said, Officer Chen."

"Please...please."

It was an extremely faint whisper, almost inaudible.

"Please... help them, please..."

Guan Yueli's face was filled with pure joy: "Very good, I accept your request... Hmm?"

She lowered her head even more and stared at the profile of the girl in her arms.

A little blood oozed from the lips that were bitten tightly by the teeth, and crystal clear water marks ran across the cheek, flowed to the chin, dripped onto the ground, and shattered into pieces.

As if she had noticed that sight, Chen suddenly pushed Guan Yueli away and took several steps back. She turned her head and said in a very unnatural voice:

"What are you looking at? You just promised me, why don't you go and get rid of that guy!"

She turned her head, wiped it vigorously with her hand twice, then turned back and glared at Guan Yueli with her red eyes.

The bad woman touched her nose and muttered softly:

"That seems a bit excessive..."

She walked in front of Chen under his vigilant gaze.

"Give me."

“…Give what?”

"Your knife."

Guan Yueli pointed at the red blade at Chen's waist.

Chen was very reluctant: "Don't you have a knife yourself?"

"I'm just making it up to you. I did go a little... well, a little too far, but there's nothing I can do."

The bad woman shrugged without any guilt: "Who made Xiao Chen so cute? I couldn't help but bully her a little more."

"Shut up you bastard!"

Chen roared and stuffed Chi Xiao into Guan Yueli's arms.

"Hurry up and get rid of it!"

"Okay, okay... Now you're not cute at all."

Guan Yueli was holding the red blade and walking towards the street while stretching.

Arriving at the center of the road, Guan Yueli narrowed his eyes and stared at the steel beast that had already gone away: "Two hundred meters, um...about that."

"Watch carefully, Xiao Chen, and keep your eyes open from now on."

Guan Yueli placed Chi Xiao on his waist, bent his body slightly, and held the knife in one hand.

"I'm here to let you witness... the limits of Scarlet Sky Swordsmanship."

Chen was very familiar with this posture, a posture she had practiced thousands of times, the preparatory posture for Chixiao to draw her sword.

But the question is... why can Guan Yueli also do it, and... so perfectly?

"Some young people are always harping on about how times have changed. It really annoys me."

While performing a sword technique like drawing the sword and slashing, which requires full concentration, Guan Yueli, with his eyes closed, was still able to spare some time to chat.

"Don't say that so proudly. Times have changed, that's the way things are. What does it have to do with you, right? You're just children who have to keep up with the times in order to thrive."

"An old woman like me is unwilling to keep up with the times, so I can only let the times down..."

She opened her eyes, and what was waving in her crimson-purple pupils was...complete arrogance and arrogance!

"Stand on my side."

"Chixiao——"

“——Draw your sword!”

Chen Yong's best achievement with the Chixiao Sword Slash was cutting through five highly realistic dummies at the same time with one slash. That was a slash that was almost impossible to replicate in actual combat as her mental skills had reached the pinnacle.

But at this moment, before her eyes——

This sword-drawing slash stretched for two hundred meters.

After the gust of air that soared into the sky and covered the area for two hundred meters dissipated, the dazed young dragon saw a two-hundred-meter-long, bottomless ravine that extended all the way to the lawless steel beast that had just been there.

Now, there lies a piece of scrap metal.

Skills are based on facts but have no basis.

Chen suddenly thought of what Xingxiong had said to her. This was what Guan Yueli said to Xingxiong, explaining why she called herself "Infinitely Strong".

At this moment, Chen seemed to understand what this sentence meant.

Skills have principles and methods. What posture to maintain, how much force to use, what angle to aim at, these principles combined are the "basis" of the skills.

But this should be the limit of the skill, because the skill itself is still limited by the user, but Guan Yueli... is different.

Her skills have no "roots".

In other words, her [Skills] are never limited by herself. For her, any [Skill]... has no end and no limit.

So she was not exaggerating or lying. The strength of the woman named Guan Yueli was truly... unlimited.

If she could live another few hundred years and her understanding of swordsmanship reached an even more incredible level, splitting a moving city in half with one sword might not be a problem.

The woman who calmly put away the knife and smiled at herself, she didn't care how the times changed, nor did she need the recognition of the times.

Because she is the era.

Chapter 42 - Legends in the Jianghu

On July 12, the Huamen District in Longmen's Lower City was attacked by terrorists. After investigation, it was found that the attack was launched by the "Dark Fire", a mercenary group that has long been famous in the gray area. The mercenaries in this group are all out-and-out desperadoes who have committed countless atrocities in the wasteland and multiple mobile cities.

The mercenary group's most notorious means of violence are its "unconventional mechanical devices." They include top-tier mechanics and high-end armor pilots, supported by numerous high-level sorcerers. They often lurk for extended periods at their destinations, assembling nearly unique killing machines from seemingly insignificant parts collected locally.

Therefore, although this mercenary group has committed many crimes, it also has a reputation for brutality and strength that matches it.

But in the end, the riot only lasted six minutes, and after six minutes, the dust settled.

Longmen...didn't even send out the Guards for armed support. The Guards were responsible for the aftermath.

After that day, dozens of confidential documents with different descriptions were delivered to the hands of those in power at the fastest speed at different time periods.

Although the descriptions vary, these documents all mention the same thing in different ways:

"...The wind wave was visually estimated to be approximately ten meters high and stretched for approximately two hundred meters. Based on on-site observations, the gully in the original street was approximately five meters deep..."

"The investigation yielded no results. We can only conclude that Longmen possesses large-scale, unconventional weapons of mass destruction... We haven't found any signs of large-scale weaponry being moved. These weapons may even be portable..."

"Wei Yanwu himself doesn't seem to mind this method being exposed to the public. Perhaps this unknown technology has already matured..."

"Your Excellency, please carefully consider your relationship with Longmen."
