"Clack, clack—"
The sound of shoes scraping against the ground echoed as someone ran frantically.
"Bang—"
"Ah—"
A heavy object hit the ground, followed by a man's cry of pain.
"Did Lou Yan send you?"
A cold voice carried a chilling intent.
Yan Yan pressed down on the Hooded Man with one hand, her narrowed eyes filled with frost.
"You bitch, let me go!"
The man struggled with all his might, and the sound of his arm dislocating echoed, "Crack—"
"Ah—"
Another scream pierced the air.
"Hmph... I may not be as strong as you, but don't forget that you're currently pinned to the ground by me. Do you really think you can escape?"
After a month and a half of nurturing, her body had returned to normal levels. Coupled with continuous training, her agility and strength had increased significantly, with metrics that were definitely higher than those of an average girl, almost on par with a typical man. Now, she could easily subdue an adult male with one hand.
“Bitch! You’re dead… ah—mmph…”
“Who’s the bitch now, hmm?”
The Black-Clad Man approached with his long legs, a dangerous smile playing at the corners of his mouth. He stroked his empty fingers, his sharp gaze fixed on the man whose jaw was pierced by a dagger. “Lou Yan’s subordinates are getting worse and worse. Isn’t that right, girl? Tsk… long time no see~”
Releasing her grip on the man on the ground, Yan Yan stood up and brushed off nonexistent dust from her hands. Tilting her head calmly, she said, “Heh… didn’t you receive the message as soon as I left the apartment? As for this nonsense about long time no see… I wonder who has been spying on my life across from my house.”
“Uh…”
“Alright… let’s deal with the current trouble—”
“Clatter clatter—”
Another set of hurried footsteps interrupted her.
“Rascal, did you bring a tail with you?”
Her calm voice revealed no emotion.
“Tsk… it’s someone you know. I thought you’d want to see them, so I brought them along.”
With that, Yan Yan instantly recalled the newcomer.
Indeed, a tall figure appeared in the distance, her features strikingly beautiful, and her smile carefree and radiant.
"Hey there, Sui Xin! Long time no see."
Huo Suixin beamed brightly, waving calmly at her as if they were back to their first meeting, casual and natural.
"Sui Xin, it's been a while."
"Looks like I came at a bad time?"
She raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the body lying in a pool of blood on the ground before finally resting on Qin Huai. With a playful smile, she said, "Are you going to join us for our girl talk?" She even winked provocatively before turning to Yan Yan, crossing her arms as she scrutinized the girl she hadn't seen in ages. "Hmm, your complexion looks rosy, and you've gotten stronger..."
As she approached Yan Yan, she reached out and patted her on the back with excessive force. After all... she was a professional archer at the seventh rank—oh no, now an eighth rank—which nearly left Yan Yan gasping for breath.
"Sui Xin, my body can't handle your roughness."
The girl helplessly grasped the restless hand that was moving around on her back and said lightly.
That hand had long been an eyesore to someone present, who wished he could chop it off.
...How dare that damn Huo Suixin touch my girl’s body in places I haven’t even touched!
Especially when she shot him a challenging glance... it was simply intolerable!
"Oh? You two are chatting... um... I still have some matters to discuss with Sister Huo, East Wind Comes... tsk—about Peng Nanyan and Lou Xiang..."
"Alright, just follow me."
Yan Yan shot a headache-inducing glare at the nonchalant Rascal, pulling Huo Suixin forward.
Huo Suixin, being dragged along, had her brows furrowed, making it hard to read her expression. Only Yan Yan, who was tightly gripping her hand, felt her body suddenly stiffen.
In Area A's restaurant, Furong Pavilion.
"Yan Yan, the jade dumplings here are delicious. I often—" Her words were abruptly cut off as a couple entered through another entrance.
The man was dressed in an exquisite white suit, handsome and poised, exuding an air of nobility with every move. The woman wore a plum-colored tailcoat gown, her delicate features framed by elegant brows and a charming smile. Her enchanting face was flushed with a rosy hue that highlighted her alluring beauty. She held the man's slender hand with a modest grip, and they occasionally leaned in close to whisper to each other. The woman would either cover her mouth while laughing lightly or cast flirtatious glances, creating an intimate and ambiguous atmosphere.
Yan Yan noticed Huo Suixin's movement suddenly halt. Her face stiffened for just a moment before she regained her usual carefree demeanor, a smile playing at the corners of her lips.
If it weren't for the hint of coldness in her eyes... she looked just like the same Huo Suixin from before.
Yan Yan bit her lip and pulled back on the woman who wanted to move forward. The force in her tight grip signaled a desire to turn back. She felt the opposing strength from Huo Suixin's hand and turned in surprise to see the now composed woman, silently questioning her: Not going?
In truth, she didn't want to let her go as she didn't want to ruin the rare mood they had gathered together...
Huo Suixin raised an eyebrow, her strikingly beautiful features suddenly becoming even more captivating and assertive. At that moment, she resembled a blooming fiery rose. With a slight narrowing of her Phoenix Eyes, she silently replied: Not going.
Receiving her unwavering determination not to leave...
Yan Yan retracted the force pulling back and simultaneously released Fair's wrist, quietly standing behind, watching Huo Suixin, who was about to step onto another battlefield.
For Eldest Sister Huo, there was absolutely no retreat or avoidance in any situation. For Huo Suixin, Peng Nanyan could not become a knot in her heart, a knot that would make her want to leave at the mere sight of him... Her pride would not allow it.
At this moment, she had to stand before those two with all the pride and demeanor of Eldest Sister Huo and Huo Suixin, to tell Peng Nanyan that he was out of the game.
"Young Master Peng, long time no see. Now that you have Beauty in your arms, I must have overthought things~"
Her crisp voice rang like pearls falling onto a plate, each word striking at Peng Nanyan's heart as he lowered his head to speak with Lou Xiang.
He looked up in shock, meeting the woman's mocking gaze, his expression suddenly changing. "Sui Xin?! What are you doing here—"
"What? Is it only permissible for you, Young Master Peng, to come for a meal while I am not allowed? After all, it was I who recommended this restaurant to you, wasn't it?" She shifted her gaze to Lou Xiang, her smile growing more arrogant. "Young Master Peng brought Sister Lou to her first meal at a restaurant recommended by his ex-girlfriend; it seems Sister Lou has been wronged."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lou Xiang's complexion turned pale. The hand that was loosely resting on the man's arm tightened suddenly as she forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect Sister Huo to also come for dinner. Just right, Ayan and I haven't been seated yet. Would you like to join us?"
"Huo Suixin will join us."
Suddenly, a stern and cold voice interjected.
