Ark Heroine Development Plan

"...Why isn't she going to work now that she's better?"

Guan Yueli began to whistle.

Chen was the first to realize that he had a problem. It was originally a vacation given by his superiors, and he had not been told to come back to work. This case was so big, to be honest, it was normal to give him a long vacation.

"Really... is there no way?" Chen still wanted to try.

"No, I do." Guan Yueli extended her hand and made a cross. "And it's not like you don't benefit from it. You've obviously made a killing on this huge deal, okay?"

"benefit?"

"Of course. Do I look like the kind of jerk who borrows someone's body and doesn't pay for it?"

Like, Chen thought.

Guan Yueli crossed his arms, raised his chin, and said proudly, "The essence of Tianxia Buwu lies in 'Wu'. The person possessed by a hundred ghosts must be someone who is closer to that ghost's 'Wu'."

Is that why Inspector Bai Ming was possessed by a woman?

"When a ghost borrows a body, it inevitably suffers damage. In exchange, the remaining willpower can allow the original body to comprehend the power within, including boxing, swordsmanship, swordplay, and magic..."

Guan Yueli spread his arms and rested them on the back of the sofa, laughing loudly: "That is the power that I recognize as possessed by evil spirits. If you can comprehend even a little bit of it, you can be secretly happy."

From this perspective, it seems that the advantages do outweigh the disadvantages. After enduring this period, the strength of this elite group of Guards will undergo a qualitative improvement.

But Chen still had a problem in this matter.

That's her... What's going on?

Chapter 5 - Xingxiong:? (K)

Guan Yueli twitched the corner of his mouth: "You seem to have something else to ask, Xiao Chen."

Chen's heart skipped a beat, and his stubborn nature immediately took action: "No!"

"Really?"

The woman asked in a long, playful voice.

Chen stared at the guy's face, knowing that he would be teased if he asked that question. Since Guan Yueli said that the sequelae would naturally disappear with the passage of time, there was no need to ask about it.

But... there are many other problems.

"No means...nothing about this matter."

Officer Chen abruptly changed the subject: "That thing, the one with the tentacles, what exactly is it?"

"This question..." Guan Yueli suddenly became lazy and said, "I don't really want to answer you."

Chen's eyelids twitched. Was this woman trying to play the "I'll tell you if you beg me" game again?

"Ah, I won't tell you even if you beg me." Guan Yueli said seriously, as if she knew what Chen was thinking.

Chen just instinctively said "I won't beg", but suddenly remembered how he was being played around by Guan Yueli, so he could only shut up with a sullen face.

"The simpler ones can be accommodated—just treat Him as God."

"……god?"

Chen's mind flashed with the image of the monster's enormous body that blocked out the sky and its madly wriggling tentacles, and he felt a chill all over his body.

"You call that thing God?"

"Good and bad, kindness and evil are all defined by humans themselves," Guan Yueli said meaningfully. "What meaning do they have for gods?"

Meaning...yes, meaning.

That guy started this terrible war just to confirm Guan Yueli's existence and to obtain some information from Guan Yueli, but he himself didn't care. Beings at that level have completely different cognition from humans.

"It's okay if you don't want to think of Him as a god. Just think of Him as a stronger creature."

Guan Yueli pointed at herself and said, "For example, me."

A little stronger...?

That night, the scene of Guan Yueli's infinite vitality and the endless proliferation and resurrection of monsters was still imprinted in Chen's mind. Could such a thing really be done by a living creature?

Of course not. Based on everything Chen knew so far, the woman sitting in front of him could not be classified as a "living being" no matter what.

And it was at this moment that Chen suddenly realized something.

The gap between me and her.

According to Guan Yueli's power, not to mention Wei Yanwu, even the Emperor of Dayan himself would have to show respect - she is difficult to kill, has an ultimate violence that overrides everything, has no weaknesses, is difficult to restrain, and... does whatever she wants.

Such a person, no matter who he is, must be treated with absolute awe and supreme respect, because not only their lives, but the power of life and death of countless lives on this continent is in the hands of this woman.

Chen stared at Guan Yueli for a long time. Guan Yueli had nothing to do, so she also stared at Chen.

You two look at me and I look at you.

"Ah-"

Guan Yueli couldn't help laughing out loud, while Chen pinched his cheeks and turned his head to the side.

As expected... there's no way I could think of her as that kind of person.

Chen held his forehead and sighed.

She really couldn't regard the disheveled woman in front of her, holding a large rabbit doll, with a half-dazed look on her face, who had just woken up and asked her sister to go to the kitchen to make very fried pork chops, as the monarch who ruled over all the ghosts.

"I just saw you were scared, Xiao Chen."

Guan Yueli blinked her eyes: "Are you frightened by my majesty?"

"That's... not right!" Chen retorted loudly, "You don't have any authority at all. I'm just afraid you'll mess around."

"I'm not an antisocial element..." Guan Yueli muttered in a low voice in grievance.

"Aren't your men antisocial enough?"

“That’s why I didn’t bring them.”

List:"……"

"Besides, this kind of thing can't be done just by saying it." Guan Yueli explained, "Remember what happened to Chi Xiao that night?"

Chi Xiao...

Chen recalled Chi Xiao's strange transformation that night. The awe-inspiring aura wrapped around the crimson blade was the key to cutting off the monster's power of resurrection. Without that aura, she would at most have killed the monster one more time.

"Your Yan Country also has an existence similar to that guy." Guan Yueli casually said something that made Chen's heart stop for two seconds.

"……what?"

"You are really stupid, Xiao Chen."

Guan Yueli looked at the bewildered Chen with pity: "If this force, which can easily destroy a city and oppose a country, had no stance and no 'principles', Terra would have exploded with a bang long ago!"

The woman raised her hands and made the shape of fireworks. "I know of at least five such beings. If they start fighting, this continent will be as thin as glass."

Chen, who had inexplicably stepped into a realm he could never imagine, remained bewildered, while Guan Yueli continued:

"What should I call that thing in your family... Dragon Vein? Dragon Qi? I don't know. Anyway, I can't beat it."

"You—" Chen was shocked, "You can't beat him?!"

"Why? Is it strange that I can't beat others?" Guan Yueli looked at Chen in some confusion at first, and then quickly laughed strangely.

"So, my image in Xiao Chen's mind is already so strong."

"..." Knowing that she had said something wrong, Chen turned her head and said nothing. After competing with Guan Yueli for so long, she had a sure-win move that would ensure she would not lose, and that was pretending to be dead.

Guan Yueli just squinted his eyes and smiled, and did not continue to tease Chen, but explained:

"It's mainly... you can think of it as something like a setting. In your Yan Nation, wherever the dragon energy can spread, He is simply [Invincible]. That's about it."

"As you young people would say, 'He's a very idealistic being, and his strength is closely tied to the strength of your Yan Nation. Yan Nation has been developing very well in recent years, and Longmen is also doing quite well, so this place is completely like 'He's home turf,' and that's why he doesn't dare to mess around."

"Otherwise, He wouldn't have sent people to sneak into the city to cause trouble, and would have directly overturned your Dragon Gate."

Chen rubbed his temples. "So you're really just a 'slightly stronger' creature?"

"Why not?" Guan Yueli asked back, "I don't have tentacles, and I'm not some idealistic life form. My whole body is made of flesh, okay? If you don't believe me, feel it."

"If you say so, then so be it." Chen accepted it expressionlessly.

As for the infinite vitality, the ability to forcibly attach the souls of followers to other people, the next hundred or thousand years, and the higher dimensions, she just treated it as the monster farting.

"The pork chops are fried. Do you want some, Xiao Chen? I made two extra servings."

Xingxiong, wearing an apron and with her hair tied up, came out of the kitchen with a plate in her hand and smiled gently and quietly at Chen.

Chen, who had never seen Xingxiong like this, was stunned for a long time. He was almost overflowing with wife power, and it was impossible for Chen to associate him with the usual straightforward, generous, and never-ending Xingxiong.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen?"

Guan Yueli waved her hands in front of Chen's eyes: "Your eyes are about to pop out, are you interested in my Xiaoxing?"

Chen then looked away awkwardly, but Xingxiong smiled and said, "What are you talking about, sister? Xiao Chen doesn't like this kind of joke."

"Xingxiong is the same, right?" Chen said subconsciously, "After all, they all have boyfriends--!"

She immediately covered her mouth, wishing she could slap herself twice.

Why are you bringing it up again when you finally forgot about it?

"M-Boyfriend?!"

"Ah, Xiaoxing, when did you get a boyfriend?" Guan Yueli looked up at Xingxiong in surprise, "How come I didn't know."

"No, that's not it! I don't have a boyfriend or anything like that..."

Xingxiong also immediately realized why Chen thought she had a boyfriend, so she put her hair up, revealing her snow-white neck and shoulders. The emerald-haired woman was full of wife power but also a little shy. There was nothing she could do about it. No matter how generous Xingxiong was, she couldn't calmly say "Oh, this is my sexy underwear, don't mind it" after her friend found out about it. Although the two of them had a good relationship, it was not good enough to tell each other about sexy underwear...

——Especially when the culprit is sitting right next to you.

"No, no." Chen nodded vigorously to show that he was cooperating.

Guan Yueli glanced at the black spot emerging from the trash can beside him. His brain, which had never been very active, started working rapidly, and in an instant he analyzed the whole story.

Then he hugged the rabbit doll, buried his face, lay on the sofa and started twitching.

"Sister!"

Xingxiong kicked Guanyueli in shame and resentment, and the latter twitched even more vigorously.

"Ah, well, I wasn't laughing just now."

Two minutes later, the woman got up from the sofa and said seriously, "Really, completely, not at all...?"

"If you don't eat it now, it's going to get cold!"

Xingxiong picked up a piece of pork chop and stuffed it directly into Guanyueli's mouth.

Guanyue Li'an, who had something to chew in her mouth, shared a lot of the food, but her eyes were still full of smiles, which made Chen confused. He didn't know what was wrong with this woman.

But when I think about how she seems to be going crazy every day, it's not so strange.

"Xiaoxing's cooking skills are really good..." Guan Yueli rubbed her belly happily: "Wine?"

"here."

Chen watched the interaction between the two sisters and always had the illusion that he was watching a TV series from the East.

It's just that kind of... simple daily life of housewives and office workers who have just returned home.

So weird.

Chen shook his head, dismissing this inexplicable thought, and picked up a piece of pork chop and put it in his mouth.

"!"

The girl raised her head, her eyes full of disbelief: "Xingxiong, are you such a good cook?"

"It's not that exaggerated..." Xingxiong tied her hair into a big braid and put it on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's just a level that comes with doing it a lot."

Guan Yueli mocked Chen mercilessly, "Xiao Chen looks like the kind of housework loser who opens his phone to order takeout as soon as he gets home, complains about the slow delivery, and is afraid to turn on the induction cooker."

"Are you qualified to say such things?" Chen's voice was extremely loud.
