"Hey," Yang Xiaoyou fell silent for a moment, then gestured to Qi Menglu, who was walking beside her.
"What, what is it?" Qi Menglu seemed a bit dazed, her tone somewhat dry, but this only added a touch of endearing clumsiness to her demeanor.
Yang Xiaoyou turned to meet her gaze and, after a brief pause, uttered three words.
"My hand's numb."
Upon hearing this, Qi Menglu jolted slightly and immediately released the hand she had been holding tightly since the beginning. Her hands half-gripped her sleeves, as if unsure where to place them.
Seeing her flustered expression, Yang Xiaoyou extended her other hand with a smile and said, "Then let's go this way."
"Dream on! Hmph, I only held your hand to scare off that fellow earlier; it wasn't anything else," Qi Menglu huffed, playfully kicking Yang Xiaoyou. She grinned, looking a bit flustered, and her twin ponytails swayed playfully with her movements, making the scene quite amusing.
"Yes, yes, I got it." Seeing that Qi Menglu seemed to have returned to her usual self, Yang Xiaoyou mischievously tugged at her cheek. Before she could react in frustration, Yang Xiaoyou took her hand and started running toward her home.
"What are you doing? Slow down!" Qi Menglu complained as she was dragged along. The two figures grew smaller on the street as they ran farther away, their bickering gradually fading into the distance.
Just after they left, a shadow appeared atop a nearby wall, quietly watching the direction in which they had gone.
Then the figure seemed to sense something and glanced toward the other side of the alley before disappearing from sight.
"What was that? Following that foodie?" Liu Lianyue emerged slowly from the other side of the alley and frowned at the spot where the mysterious figure had vanished. She had intended to follow that foodie to see what he was up to but unexpectedly noticed that someone else seemed to be following him as well.
After considering for a moment, she decided to use the momentum to bounce off the wall and follow the direction where the shadow had disappeared. Mission accomplished. By the way, you always go home with Lin after school, right?" Yang Xiaoyou smiled as she saw Qi Menglu to her doorstep.
"Of course! Sometimes she can be a bit forgetful, so I have to look out for her. Hmph, no funny ideas!" Qi Menglu wrinkled her nose, wearing a proud expression.
"Then just keep protecting her well, especially during this recent period. Well then, I'm off." After waving goodbye, Yang Xiaoyou turned and walked away, though her eyes appeared somewhat gloomy at that moment.
"Tsk, although I'm not deliberately hiding my identity as a Mercenary right now, having both the Common Unity Party and foreign Mercenary marks on me should generally deter anyone from targeting me. It's completely thankless work. What kind of fellow is this?" On her way, she paused to look at the departing Xianzi. Yang Xiaoyou pondered for a moment.
Among the identities she could reveal, neither being a member of the Common Unity Party nor an outer member of Hive Security Company was something to flaunt; they were troublesome roles that could stir up complications. Initially, she had hoped to use these two identities as deterrents to minimize potential troubles.
Yet there were still people taking notice of her. Recently, the Golden Dragon Dojo seemed to be particularly suspicious, and there might also be some ripples from what happened at Liu Lianyue's family during the New Year. As for some underworld forces she had encountered before, since they had already shown their muscle, they shouldn't be foolish enough to come looking for trouble.
"Hmm? It seems..." Suddenly, a flicker appeared in Yang Xiaoyou's eyes. Besides all this, there seemed to be another aspect that was quite suspicious. "Welcome home, Master! Dinner is ready. Would you like to eat first or take a shower? Or perhaps..." The charming figure of Charming Shadow was only clad in an apron, with various delightful sights subtly revealed. When Yang Xiaoyou arrived, she greeted him in a voice that was enticing to the core.
"Well, I have some tasks lined up for you recently. How's your injury healing?" This time, Yang Xiaoyou did not wear a teasing expression but spoke with a slightly serious tone.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's words, Charming Shadow paused slightly before putting on a seductive expression as she approached him. Her fingers traced down his chest as she said playfully, "It's about healed up now. But why not take a direct approach first? Hehe."
"Let's wait until the mission is complete. I won't disturb you for now; focus on getting your condition back in shape. Do you need my help with anything?" While enjoying the pleasure brought by her cool and soft fingers, Yang Xiaoyou reached into the side of her apron and grasped her smooth softness with a smile.
Even if Charming Shadow were alone and released into the wild, she would still be quite formidable. After being severely injured by him before, she had even managed to ambush and kill a Licker—this made things clear.
However, after such serious injuries, recovery training needed some adjustment as well. She still wasn't entirely sure who their opponent would be this time; it would be safest for Charming Shadow to reach her peak condition before facing any challenges.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's words, Charming Shadow, who was soft in his embrace and allowed him to touch her freely, became a bit more serious. She was well aware of her master's strength, and in this situation, it was clear that he wanted her to recover to her best condition, likely anticipating some trouble. She never expected that in the Chinese Empire, a place where Revenants and organizations were generally reluctant to tread, there would be issues.
"I understand. In that case, I'll trouble you," she said. After finishing her sentence, she launched an attack on Yang Xiaoyou in her current outfit. She knew her master's abilities well enough not to hold back; however, the intensity of her movements filled the entire room with a vibrant atmosphere.
"Hey, hey, don't break the furniture," Yang Xiaoyou said with a hint of helplessness as he watched Charming Shadow come at him. If the house got wrecked, he would definitely be in for a beating from his irresponsible parents when they returned. He decided to keep an eye on things from a distance. "If no one is following me, then check on that girl who dropped by last time. She didn't cause any trouble while following me, but make sure to keep your distance when she's around. And definitely avoid getting too close to that other girl with her. If you get cornered, just mention my name—react quickly."
As he left, he noticed Charming Shadow had changed into a black leather skirt and jacket. He reminded her once more.
Recovery practice had only begun yesterday, but due to time constraints, preparations needed to be made today.
At the same time, Yang Xiaoyou felt fortunate to have such a capable maid by his side, especially when it wasn't convenient for him to take action himself. She proved to be quite useful; now in addition to being a pillow and an inflatable doll, she also served as a bodyguard, which was quite satisfying.
"Hehe, is that girl from last time who almost caught us? It seems like you're quite concerned about her, Master. Don't worry; I won't scare her or harm her friends," Charming Shadow said playfully as she gestured with the handgun Yang Xiaoyou had given her and checked the position of her dagger with a seductive smile.
"Uh, I'm not worried about you hurting that other girl; I'm more concerned that you might not have time to mention my name before something happens. Remember, even now I can only withstand ten moves against her at most. Back when I fought you, I couldn't even withstand one counterattack—don't mess this up," Yang Xiaoyou explained with a wry smile.
In fact, with Feng Lin beside him, Qimeng Lu's safety was more assured than his own. However, Feng Lin clearly wasn't the type to meddle or check on potential followers. Thus, he arranged for Charming Shadow to follow him and investigate if she didn't spot any targets.
After hearing Yang Xiaoyou's words, Charming Shadow paused for a moment before a look of doubt crossed her face. After all, her master's claims seemed exaggerated—ten moves and one move? Was there really such an inhuman opponent?
Despite her doubts, it left a deep impression on her. Still confident that she wouldn't be discovered, she made a trip to the hospital for some paperwork and ended up being delayed (to be continued).
