Chapter 78: Reunion

The room was silent for a moment, the sound of the wind against the window louder than the girl.

Bai Xiaoya didn’t speak either. She just held her pose, chest out, showing off her big white rabbit.

If no one asks, I won’t explain. If someone asks… I’ll think about how to explain it.

A few minutes later, Su Qingyu slapped her slender thigh.

“Haiya, I knew it!”

Bai Xia looked at her in confusion.

No, what did you know that you knew?

Su Qingyu kept giving her meaningful looks, finally unable to resist, she pointed to the melodica in her shirt pocket.

I said she’s a “mysterious item”, see, now new functions are being developed.

Bai Xia stayed silent.

She still didn’t want to accept this explanation, but Bai Xiaoya’s ability was hard to define.

“Anyway, don’t worry about it. Let’s talk about the plan.”

Bai Xiaoya cleared her throat.

“The new battle plan.”

Everyone here has some weird abilities, so what if I have one too? I just don’t need to rely on items, that’s all.

This was how Xiao Ya justified it to herself.

But what should the new plan be? Bai Xia and Su Qingyu looked at each other.

Previously, without a comparison of strength, at most they were evenly matched, and they were still thinking about investigating the enemy’s abilities, knowing yourself and your enemy—that was their specialty.

But now, with Bai Xiaoya suddenly appearing, it felt like there was no need to check what items others had, but instead, they didn’t know how to plan anymore.

Bai Xia rubbed her chin.

Let me think. Normally, if you skip the scouting phase and move straight to the next step, it would mean…

She looked at Su Qingyu and tried,

“How about it?”

“Okay,”

Su Qingyu waved her small hand.

“Let’s charge!”

The blonde loli was also a battle maniac.

Only Bai Xiaoya blinked in confusion.

By the time she sat in the car and saw the route heading straight for the Commercial Street, she finally realized.

“We’re going straight in?”

Bai Xia said nothing, pretending to be a master, only giving a cold, silent nod.

Su Qingyu, on the other hand, grinned.

“Xiao Ya, you didn’t see this coming, did you?”

“Not at all.”

Who could have guessed?

Ten minutes ago, we were still sitting in the room, preparing for a tactical meeting to defeat the enemy with wisdom and detailed planning.

Ten minutes later, we’re sitting in a car charging towards the enemy base camp.

“That’s right,” Su Qingyu said, “because they wouldn’t expect it either.”

“……..”

It’s true.

And so, following the one and only plan, the car drove beside the Commercial Street, entered the parking lot, and headed into the dark underground.

It was afternoon, past mealtime but not yet time for the evening rush, so most people were resting.

The parking lot felt like a ghost town, with only a yawning security guard on duty and no one else in sight.

Bai Xiaoya glanced at the view outside, silently rolling up and closing the double-sided mirror window.

Creepy.

Bai Xia drove as far inside as possible, finding a parking space in the innermost area.

“All right, let’s go up.”

She said.

Going up meant taking the elevator from the parking area straight to the bathhouse corridor.

Although it wasn’t peak hours for most guests, as a high-end bathhouse, there was always someone on duty at the corridor entrance.

Seeing three beautiful girls walk over, the on-duty Miss was a bit surprised but quickly welcomed them with a smile.

“Hello, may I…”

Without a word, Bai Xiaoya handed over the VIP card.

“Welcome, honored guests! Please come in!”

Bai Xia had thought about helping the big-chested girl along, but unexpectedly, once inside, Bai Xiaoya was right at home, heading straight to the changing room.

“You… have you been here before?”

She acted like a regular.

Bai Xiaoya thought that although she’d never been to such a high-end place, she’d gone to others plenty of times.

But out loud, she said,

“I saw someone tour it in a video.”

After working for several years, she’d gone to similar places on business trips or company outings a few times, though always the more affordable ones—value for money was key.

After changing into bathrobes in the room, Bai Xiaoya excitedly ran out.

“Let’s go, let’s eat something in the buffet area. You need to be full to have strength to fight.”

Xiao Ya always believed that whether it was a bathhouse, a private banquet hotel, or even a farmhouse, entertainment and facilities were just extras—the core business was still the food.

First time in such a high-end place, of course tasting the food was most important.

“Wait.”

Bai Xia grabbed her, pulling her closer and carefully straightening Bai Xiaoya’s collar.

“The inner buttons aren’t even done up. Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?”

Bai Xiaoya belatedly fastened them.

Right, I’m a girl now.

And a busty one at that. I can’t just run around in a bathrobe like before.

She felt a bit emotional.

But the feeling was quickly forgotten when the aroma of hot dishes from the buffet area reached her.

Because guests had arrived, the kitchen, which had been on break, was back in action.

Bai Xia and Su Qingyu walked more slowly. They hadn’t been to places like this and weren’t too enthusiastic.

But they did think Bai Xiaoya looked pretty good in a bathrobe.

“She lacks a certain awareness,”

Bai Xia sighed.

“The awareness of danger.”

About the “danger” attracted by one’s own charm.

Su Qingyu didn’t dare speak, only grunted softly.

Of course she doesn’t. If she had even a bit of fear, she wouldn’t have run alone into the neighborhood to block me in the first place.

Isn’t this just a thousand-meter delivery?

As the top beneficiary of Bai Xiaoya’s lack of caution, Su Qingyu could only say:

“It really does smell good—grilled fish, I think.”

Don’t ask. If you do, Xiao Ya is right. You need to eat to fight.

Bai Xia could only give in and follow them over.

Anyway, Bai Xiaoya was eating happily.

Even though she’d had lunch at home and didn’t have much room left, she still saved space for some small desserts.

A cup of iced taro balls in the summer revived her completely.

“It’s really delicious, you should try it.”

Bai Xiaoya scooped up two taro balls with a spoon and brought them to Bai Xia’s mouth.

“Open up, ah~”

How childish.

Am I being treated like a kid?

Bai Xia was speechless, but couldn’t resist the hospitality of the big-chested girl.

She was about to open her mouth when her expression suddenly changed.

She grabbed Bai Xiaoya’s hand and pressed it down, raising a finger.

“Shh!”

Su Qingyu reacted instantly, following her gaze toward the entrance.

A long-haired man had walked in.

“It’s him, the one taking pictures on the overpass. Have we been found?”

Bai Xiaoya forgot all about the taro balls, shrinking under the table with just half her head peeking out to observe.

“No, he’s here to enjoy himself, like you.”

Bai Xia said.

The long-haired man had his ticket checked and headed straight to the rest area, looking like he was quite familiar with the place.

Bai Xia and Su Qingyu exchanged glances, understanding each other instantly.

“This one really walked right into our hands.”

Su Qingyu snickered.

For the enemy, falling into their hands was a blessing.

One with Magic Flute Puppet Mastery, one with Pocket Watch Mind Control.
