Don't Be Upset

It was already dusk when I returned to the provincial capital from Sierra Leone.

Sierra Leone is still too far from home.

What about your best friend?

Do you ever feel homesick when you're in such a faraway place like another world? The density of battles in that other world is much higher than on Earth. Your best friend must have close friends there, and there must also be friends who have died in battle. You must miss home a lot when you're feeling down.

Fortunately, she has a great teacher there.

There,

It must have become her second hometown, right?

After landing at the provincial capital airport, Li Yao parted ways with Old Man Lu, escorting the foreigners back for interrogation.

Li Yao did not go straight back to the Lost Tavern.

He found a beverage shop in Xinjiekou, sat down, ordered a drink at random, and stood by the window in a daze.

The rapid development of modern transportation has made the Earth seem very small.

It takes less than twenty hours to travel from one continent to another.

In less than a day, Li Yao returned from the impoverished, backward, and war-torn land to the peaceful and bustling provincial capital.

He didn't feel that he had any combat stress response.

The monk's spiritual practice gave him a more resilient soul and made him more resistant to these things.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time his hands had been stained with blood.

The question he was pondering was whether or not to get closer to the Wallfacers.

Li Yao always felt that he should be a little selfish and clearly distinguish between public and private matters, personal grievances, and right and wrong.

Even without the extraordinary power provided by his best friend, he had always adhered to this principle when he was an ordinary person—to refuse everything he should refuse with a gentle attitude and soft tone.

So even though he spent four years in college, he didn't make many friends.

My best friend Lin Xiaowei is one, and the three guys in my dorm are another group.

He was also lucky enough not to have any really weird roommates.

Otherwise, I'd be so angry I'd explode.

Li Yao has always regarded the Wallfacer Organization as a close business partner, and although there is a personal connection involved, he has always maintained that it is a business transaction.

But this time, the battle in the Crystal Cluster Creature Subspace made Li Yao realize that Wallfacers were doing for him seemed to go beyond the scope of business.

If these anxieties were told to Wang Dalong or Lu Xingshen, they would definitely laugh smugly:

"We're not just doing this to you."

The Wallfacers were an organization of superhumans created by selecting individuals from the military and establishing them entirely according to military regulations.

This alone makes it fundamentally different from many other supernatural organizations.

Before they became known as the Otherworlders, they were soldiers! So for them, saving civilians and protecting them from the ravages of war was their sacred duty.

When the whole world is driven by the desire for fame and fortune, and even many domestic military units cannot guarantee their own purity, the Wallfacers is still living in a dream.

But isn't that precisely why it has attracted so many like-minded people? Of course,

It's impossible to say that there are no sordid acts among the Wallfacers. Li Yao knew that he simply hadn't been exposed to them deeply enough and was well protected, so he hadn't yet come into contact with the factional struggles and infighting within the Wallfacer Organization.

never mind,

Why think so much?

I, Boss Li, am simple-minded! Li Yao gulped down a mouthful of the Cui Cha cold drink, put it down, strode out of the cold drink shop, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and returned to the Lost Tavern on Drum Tower Road.

Upon arriving at the tavern entrance,

Big Sis Feng Li sensed something and came out of the Midnight Bar.

The Cold Wave after the Lunar New Year even made a tough woman like Big Sis Feng Li feel the effects, so she put on a black down jacket.

She was leaning against the door with a handful of sunflower seeds in her hand. When she saw Li Yao, she sneered, "Oh, you're back, bro."

Li Yao: "..."

Big Sis Feng Li: "You've got guts, aren't you? You can even go out and have fun on your own!"

Li Yao apologized, "... I'm sorry."

Big Sis Feng Li gritted her teeth, threw down the melon seeds in her hand, and clapped her hands. "It's also our fault for not protecting your information well. Now that your identity has been exposed, your name has been added to the Urgent List for this month in various organizations, and the bounty for you on the Esper World Forum is skyrocketing—now they've even opened betting on how high the bounty for you can go."

Li Yao: "..."

"Are you all so bored?" Big Sis Feng Li instructed, "The situation is more serious than before. From now on, you should think more carefully about everything you do."

She paused and then said, "A lot of people died this time, and I am very sad."

After saying Big Sis Feng Li turned around and went back, her movements swift and somewhat abrupt.

She must have received advance notice of the Phoenix Legion Dagger Battalion. Now, Big Sis Feng Li is the deputy commander of the Phoenix Legion's operations, and the Sharp Knife Battalion was personally selected and formed by her. In other words, these are all her direct subordinates.

The Sharp Knife Battalion was originally sent to the subspace to train and interact with the extraordinary.

But now, it's all gone...

It's impossible to determine right or wrong in this incident; it just happened anyway.

The impact and turmoil it has caused are far greater than what we see now.

Li Yao stood at the door, looking up.

Then I heard a very warm and comforting voice. "Oh, it's the boss! You're back!"

Li Yao looked up and smiled, "Yes, I'm back. I want to eat pork belly noodles."

Chen Xi: "Mmm!"

She opened the door and welcomed Li Yao in, then quickly went into the kitchen, leaving the front desk to Lin Xiaoxi and a bartender.

Lin Xiaoxi glanced at Li Yao, who didn't seem to care about her at all, and then continued telling Han Xiaosang leaning against the bar, a story. "--The fairy tale I'm going to tell you today goes like this: The little girl who sold nuclear bombs didn't sell a single one today. But when she got really cold at night, she lit one, and that night everyone in the village saw their great-great-grandmother..."

Li Yao: "???"

Are you telling the story of "Antu Village Fairy Tales"?! Li Yao's face immediately darkened. "Lin Xiaoxi, you come here right now!"

Just as Lin Xiaoxi was about to retort, she noticed that Li Yao was acting strangely today. She immediately suppressed her arrogance and asked cautiously, "Li Big Hoof, are you unhappy?"

Li Yao ignored her reprimand and said, "You can't teach a child like that! You better behave yourself!"

Lin Xiaoxi muttered, "... The original fairy tales aren't all that great either!"

Little Red Riding Hood contains a lot of adult innuendo!

The related interpretations are far more obscene! After reprimanding Lin Xiaoxi, Li Yao returned to his Lazy King's Throne in front of the fireplace. Once he leaned back on the comfortable sofa, Li Yao let out a long sigh—

It's so comfortable!

Just then, Lin Xiaoxi came over with a bunch of snacks. "I have pomelo and kumquat filled marshmallows, and Luxi River pork floss mini cakes, they're all so delicious! Here, have three... no, two! Don't be upset~"

Li Yao: "..."

Lin Xiaoxi loves snacks and is very possessive of her food.

She's the kind of person who will rush up and bite anyone who tries to take her snacks.

Therefore, to judge whether you have a good relationship with Lin Xiaoxi, you can look at whether she shares snacks with you and how many snacks she shares with you.

This girl is usually so crazy, but now she knows how to care for people.

Just then,

Han Xiaosang leaned closer and said, "Uncle, you can touch my head. Sister Xiaoxi and Sister Chen Xi both said they feel good when they touch my head~ But I'm not a ten-year-old child anymore, so I don't let them touch my head. Uncle, if you're in a bad mood, I'll let you touch my head."

She tilted her increasingly fair and adorable little face up and said, "Go ahead and touch it!"

Li Yao: "..."

He corrected him earnestly, "You should call him 'brother'!"
