I had really underestimated him.
The young man began to recall everything, including the scenes of his battles with members of the Insect Blood Society.
Shi Jing received part of the information. When she looked at him again... his eyes had completely closed.
The shut-in had left this world.
Come Soak Some Water of Purification
Half an hour later, the captain walked out of the room. Seeing Shi Jing standing with his back to him by the stairs, he let out a deep sigh.
"There's a mastermind behind this incident."
That very first sentence made Shi Jing's heart tighten.
"Captain, did you find something?"
"There's something suspicious. Our final examination confirmed that Min Xingyuan's sudden actions were connected to an unknown woman. It's just that..." As he spoke, he looked back at the woman who had emerged behind him. "Zhuyu didn't sense that person's presence."
"That's right." The woman spread her hands. "Min Xingyuan hired someone to donate to a streamer and asked them to declare war on the Shadow Bureau in the name of the Insect Blood Society. If that was the case, why would the Insect Blood Society still come into conflict with him? That can only mean they weren't on the same side. This was most likely a scheme to kill with a borrowed knife. Someone used our Shadow Bureau to suppress the Insect Blood Society. It's just that... when I investigated the identity of the person behind it, I found no relevant intelligence at all. It was like tracking down a dead person who never existed."
"What about soul-searching?" the captain asked.
"Min Xingyuan kept his mouth shut. There was no way to make him reveal anything more."
"Fine. Let him rest in peace." The captain tapped the wall. "If even you can't solve this, then the higher-ups will have to deal with the headache."
"Are there any other missions for now?"
"No." The captain shook his head, then gave Shi Jing a thoughtful glance. "What do you think of that dead kid?"
"Probably... a little tragic." Shi Jing thought for a long while before answering that way.
On Ye Qian's main body's side, she looked at the several Explosion Rings in her hand, recalled what she had obtained from Min Xingyuan's mind earlier, and sighed.
"At this rate, the Insect Blood Society will be wiped out by the Shadow Bureau sooner or later. If I want a way to advance, I really do need to act ahead of time."
She seemed to remember hearing them mention a certain place.
"Let Battle Miss No. 1 take the field."
She was a little more mature-looking than Cannon Fodder No. 1, with a standard height of 1.7 meters. Naturally, their appearances differed somewhat. Cannon Fodder No. 1 even had slightly curled hair at the ends.
Her corpse was still soaking underwater right now.
Battle Miss reached out and bounced her own chest.
"So soft and springy. Mm, no, this isn't the time to focus on that."
She put on a whole pile of Explosion Rings that had been made through overtime work, then headed straight out.
Of course, Alice went out with her as well. For safety's sake, Ye Qian had specifically put a black wig on Alice to conceal her appearance a little.
They split up.
It would take some time to reach their destination. During that time, Ye Qian picked up her phone and checked the chat records in the app.
No one was talking in the group, but she discovered that she had received a private message.
It was actually from Lan Xinyu.
Lan Xinyu: "Little Ye Qian, do you still have any Water of Purification that your... little feet soaked in? (blush)"
Lord Four Seasons (Ye Qian): "???"
Her expression turned strange.
A few seconds later, Lan Xinyu replied.
Lan Xinyu: "Um... although talents drawn in the Main World only work in that world, if the talent enhances one's own abilities, then those abilities can take effect in reality and dungeons. Can your little feet make Water of Purification in reality?"
Lan Xinyu: "Ah, although it tastes really good, I don't want it for myself. I just want to use it to treat an illness."
Black lines appeared on Ye Qian's forehead.
Why did you specifically emphasize that it tasted good?
Lord Four Seasons: "I told you, this ability isn't limited to my feet. My hands can do it too. (angry)"
Lan Xinyu: "All right, all right. So it works in reality too?"
Lord Four Seasons: "Yeah."
Lan Xinyu: "Then I'll bring a bucket over. Give me your location."
Good grief, was she coming over directly?
Ye Qian took a deep breath and sent her the hotel's location. "I'm staying here for the time being."
"OK, I'm very close to you. Wait ten minutes."
Ye Qian rolled her eyes.
Sure enough, before ten minutes had even passed, someone rang the doorbell.
Click!
As soon as the door opened, a slightly lecherous figure hurried inside.
"Little Ye Qian!"
A huge hug.
"I finally get to see you in reality! Oh my God, do you usually wear white stockings? You're way too cute! I can't take it anymore."
Ye Qian was pushed straight against the wall. After struggling slightly, she shoved the other woman back half a step.
"Ah, you're so strong. Your level really is much higher than mine."
Lan Xinyu looked around the room. It was very neat.
She subconsciously glanced at Ye Qian's body, then opened the lid of the bucket. It was filled with water.
"Bottled water. I prepared it ages ago."
"Then I'll purify it." Ye Qian held out her hand.
"Mm, wait." Lan Xinyu suddenly stopped her.
"Hm?" Ye Qian froze. Then the girl's face abruptly turned red as she said awkwardly, "Well... could you use your little feet in white stockings instead?"
"..."
Ye Qian slowly narrowed her eyes, looking at her as if she were a pervert.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm just worried that the effect from your hands won't be as good as the effect from your feet. Really."
"..."
After a long silence, just as Lan Xinyu was so embarrassed that she was about to change her request, Ye Qian muttered, "Fine."
It wasn't as if you hadn't drunk it more than once already.
The Clock Shop
Sitting back on the edge of the bed and watching the other woman excitedly carry the bucket over before her, then stare at her expectantly, Ye Qian was truly speechless.
How could there be such a perverted girl?
On closer inspection, Lan Xinyu was quite pretty too, but the way she was looking at her was a little scary.
Ye Qian raised her legs and said, "My socks..."
"No need to take them off, no need! How could I trouble you with that?"
Ye Qian: "..."
Speechlessly, she extended both feet. Her little toes, covered in white stockings, slowly touched the water's surface and gradually sank beneath it.
Her snow-white legs rested in the bucket. The socks clung to her skin, revealing a faint flesh color through the water.
Purification in progress...
"You're not going to call it something like water soaked in by a beautiful girl and sell it for money, are you?" Ye Qian asked with a serious expression.
"No, no, how could I? I'll drink it all myself... Ah, no, I mean I'm using it to treat my family's illness."
"Umm..."
There was no need to hide it. You just wanted to drink it yourself.
Although Ye Qian's ability could indeed improve the water quality and make it beneficial to health, someone specifically wanting water soaked in by her feet was the most outrageous thing she had ever seen.
"Hehe..."
Seeing the girl's tender little feet in white stockings soaking in the bucket, along with her snow-white legs, Lan Xinyu giggled.
A few minutes later...
"Done!"
As Ye Qian lifted her legs and saw droplets of water falling from them, even her own face turned red.
Rolling her eyes, she mocked, "Why don't you just lick them clean?"
"Sure... Ah, no, that won't be necessary."
Lan Xinyu felt as though she had exposed something.
"..."
After wringing out her stockings and putting on her slippers, Ye Qian suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you know about Purple Crystal Coins?"
"Purple Crystal Coins? Do you have some? Chen Ning mentioned them before when we were chatting privately. I heard they can be exchanged for money and are a trading currency in the Hidden Circle."
Ye Qian took two from her pocket and placed them in her palm. "I want to cash these out."
"Wow, these are Purple Crystal Coins? Where did you get them?"
"Luck, I guess. Can you help me exchange them for cash?"
Lan Xinyu rubbed her chin. "I suppose I can. Chen Ning seems to need these things. Maybe he'll be willing."
"Could you help me find him and cash them out? A slightly lower price is fine. I can even give you a little errand fee."
"No need for an errand fee. You've already given me so much Water of Purification."
Looking at the clear purified bottled water, Lan Xinyu excitedly put the lid on the bucket. Her gaze then subconsciously drifted to Ye Qian's tender little feet again.
"Why do you keep staring? You don't really want to lick them, do you?" Ye Qian glared at her with a blush, her expression carrying a hint of fear.
"No, no, don't think nonsense. What kind of person do you take me for?"
Seeing her hurriedly wave her hands, Ye Qian let out a breath and handed over the two Purple Crystal Coins.
"I'm counting on you. Just transfer the money through a temporary account after it arrives, or give me cash offline. I'm worried there might be trouble otherwise."
"Okay."
A few minutes later, Lan Xinyu said goodbye to Ye Qian.
After she left, a green-haired head suddenly emerged from beneath the blanket.
"Phew, good thing she didn't discover my clone."
Actually, she felt there had been a good chance of being discovered. Still, even if she really had been noticed, it would have been fine. She could just pretend to be a friend who was sleeping.
Looking at the time, more than thirty minutes had passed since the two clones left, and they had not yet reached their destination.
"I don't feel very reassured. Ye Xin should set off too."
Their combat strength was insufficient. After all, Battle Miss No. 1 was not particularly strong either. With only the white skill Swift Step Flash, plus part of Sword Intuition's effects, she was truly far behind in terms of strength.
More than twenty minutes later, Alice was the first to arrive near the destination.
A little dog had followed her there as well.
"Empathy."
Woof woof!
