When Vita appeared before Chunfeng and Steel Thorn Monster, accompanied by Yijinmo, the two girls who had only just awakened straightened up immediately.
But it wasn’t because they recognized the infamous Thunder Monster.
It was because the Tentacle Monster behaved with utmost respect and obedience before this mysterious busty woman, like an adorable little sister.
Just as they didn’t know who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, they recognized the driver as Xidi Xunzong.
“Um… thank you for saving us.”
“Don’t be overly formal. We’re all monsters, the same kind. It’s only right that we help each other. Monsters must unite if we want to face the injustice imposed on us by this world.”
“The strong help the weak, and the weak ease the burdens of the strong. This is our only way out.”
Wow.
So this is what strength looks like—simple, clear, and filled with profound meaning in just a few words!
Faced with the two little ones’ admiring gazes, Yijinmo secretly grinned.
After three years, being respected again felt wonderful.
But after all, as a former leader, the girl still had some foundation, and she quickly straightened her expression.
“Chunfeng, Steel Thorn, I understand your past and sympathize with what you’ve been through, but I don’t want you to remain trapped in your current pain.”
“Your leader, who was also once my subordinate—Ice Thorn—is now missing. Most likely taken by those mysterious people. Her fate is unknown.”
“Rescuing her won’t be easy, and it can’t rely solely on my power.”
How strong she is now depends entirely on how many gold coins Miss Luo is willing to invest in her.
If she were to spend a seven-figure sum outright, Yijinmo could easily tear through the entire Jiangnan City the next day, eyes barely dry from the carnage.
“Therefore, I need both of your strengths.”
“We… we can help too?!”
“As long as we can save our leader, we’re willing to do anything!!”
The 100,000 yuan they took to live in another city had already been depleted along with Pickup-kun.
Now, aside from desperately fighting back against those hateful bastards, they had no other way out.
“That’s good.”
“As long as you have this determination, there’s nothing we monsters can’t do.”
“We monsters aren’t their lab rats or test subjects. We monsters are also human!”
“Monsters are also human!”
“Monsters are also human!!”
Though she didn’t quite understand why the atmosphere suddenly shifted like this, Chunfeng hesitated but raised her hand, overcoming the shame in her heart and trying to mimic Steel Thorn and Tentacle’s excited expressions.
“Awesome! Very spirited!”
“Then I hereby declare that from now on, the Ultimate Rescue Bingci Monster Squad is officially established!”
“Why intermediate? Can’t it be advanced?”
Steel Thorn looked up at her with puppy-like, curious eyes.
Like Vita, her wounds were nearly healed, though she needed to avoid intense activity and combat in the coming days.
“Advanced… I’m afraid you can’t handle that yet.”
“Oh!!”
Ha↑ha↓
In just one night, Yijinmo had wiped out a convoy, rescued her best friend, and gained two little fans and one foolish spy.
Hmph, her momentum still hadn’t diminished from her glory days.
…………
At the same time the Ultimate Squad was formed, inside Jiangnan City, a white-haired girl was bent over her desk, exhaustedly working.
Luo Shiyun actually never got tired.
She used to be like a machine—never fatigued, never making mistakes.
She was her mother’s finest tool and the family’s most promising heir.
But until yesterday.
She had found her late wife.
She had thought that after parting at noon, she could temporarily set her mind at ease and focus on the task assigned by her mother. But the result was…
Staring at the newly created folder, the corners of the girl’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
After spending most of the day, her progress was still a blank slate.
Her mind kept drifting back to that lingering image of the black-haired beauty.
Ah.
She wanted to fuck her.
This feeling of wanting but not having… was truly unbearable.
Setting down her pen, she hugged the quilt—one that Yijinmo had used when she slept over last night, still faintly scented with a pleasant fragrance.
What a pity, her wife had only left this behind, too little to replenish her energy.
If only she had some other items… like something intimate.
Of course, it wasn’t because she was a pervert.
Just like plants need photosynthesis, she needed some comfort from her wife to muster her spirits.
The logic was the same.
Shaking her head to suppress the chaotic thoughts, Luo Shiyun was about to go downstairs to make herself some coffee when her phone suddenly rang.
“Beep beep beep.”
The caller ID was “Mother.”
“Hello, Mother… it’s me.”
“Shiyun, is the plan not finished yet?”
“Sorry, I’ve been feeling a bit off today.”
“If you’re unwell, contact your private doctor. I remember you have their contact info. If it’s not possible, I will notify Secretary Chen to arrange a medical checkup for you.”
“I understand, Mother… no need to trouble them. I will complete the task before noon.”
“Remember to rest; your health is the most important.”
The woman’s cold tone softened slightly here.
“This project is mainly for practice. There will be a meeting tomorrow evening where you need to represent the Luo Family.”
“Tomorrow evening…”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’ll follow your instructions.”
So it seemed there wouldn’t be a chance to see her wife after all, especially since she had four tutoring classes to attend during the day.
“That meeting… what is it about? I want to prepare.”
“Not a big deal. Secretary Chen has already sent the details to your email. That’s all. Make sure to have the plan ready for me to check before noon.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
The call ended briskly, and at the same time, the girl’s computer received an email.
That must be the meeting materials Mother mentioned… she had to memorize the contents before tomorrow evening at the latest.
The earliest tutoring class tomorrow started at six?
She would get enough sleep, but with less than half an hour between classes and the locations quite a distance from the “Lily-colored” bar…
In short, she simply couldn’t find the time.
Tsk.
Better wait until Monday to see my wife.
Opening the file, Luo Shiyun skimmed it, her attention finally resting on the meeting organizer.
Raijin Corporation?
She’d heard of them. This company had once been a small manufacturing enterprise.
A few years ago, it was acquired and shifted to biomedical research… results aside, their stocks were hot for a while but recently plummeted, causing many to lose everything.
Luo Shiyun had zero interest in this and closed the meeting file, turning back to her plan with a sigh.
“Sigh.”
“It’s been ten hours since I parted from my wife. I miss her.”
