I Thought Hexi Was Already Unrivaled Under Heaven

(Thanks for all your well-wishes! The author would like to thank everyone and hopes you'll all stay healthy and make a fortune in the new year.)

(As for Qiangwei, we'll see what the vote results are after the book gets past its review period.)

Just as everyone was still shocked by how ruthlessly Su Bai had struck,

Su Bai suddenly furrowed his brow and shifted half a step back to the side almost at the same time.

The next second.

A distorted purple wormhole suddenly bloomed in the spot where he had been standing.

A long, powerful leg shot out of it like lightning, aimed straight at Su Bai's chest.

But Su Bai had already moved aside, so the kick landed squarely on empty air.

The attack didn't stop there.

The figure in the wormhole spun with the momentum, and her other leg swept in right behind the first. The angle was tricky, and she moved so fast she almost left afterimages.

Su Bai's expression didn't change as he raised his right leg at the same instant.

Their legs collided in midair with a dull thud.

Qiangwei's expression darkened.

She hadn't expected—

This man hadn't just predicted where her space-time wormhole would open;

his reactions were extremely fast, too,

and he was strong as well.

Qiangwei didn't dwell on it. After their brief exchange, she knew she was no match for him alone.

The Space Ability she prided herself on gave her no advantage against him.

She'd have to wait for Leina to arrive.

Having made up her mind, Qiangwei promptly retreated. A blue wormhole silently opened behind her.

Her figure quickly disappeared into it, and the wormhole closed.

The next second.

Another wormhole opened not far from Liu Chuang, and Qiangwei leaped out, landing steadily.

Everyone around them was a little dazed.

Where... had this girl come from?!

He Weilan stared at Qiangwei in shock, then looked at Su Bai, her mind buzzing.

Was she really not dreaming?

She glanced at Qilin out of the corner of her eye, only to find that the other woman wasn't all that surprised. She had merely furrowed her brow a little more.

Qilin noticed He Weilan's glance, too.

Their eyes met. Qilin understood the confusion and question in He Weilan's gaze and nodded slightly.

It was as good as an acknowledgment that everything happening before them was "out of the ordinary."

The ordinary people around them, including the two male police officers, were already beginning to question reality.

What kind of day was this? A superhero gathering?

Beside Su Bai, Angel Yan and Azhui both raised their eyebrows.

Azhui leaned close to Yan's ear and asked quietly,

"Sister Yan, who is she...?"

"She's a carrier of the Space-time Gene," Angel Yan replied with a slight nod, her voice audible only to the two of them. "Du Qiangwei."

Seeing the situation, Xiao Xue immediately started a livestream.

[Welcome, Little Milk Sha, to the livestream]

[Welcome, Seeking Sponsorship, to the livestream]

[Welcome, Chūnibyō Is Not a Disease, to the livestream]

[Welcome, Try Touching Me, to the livestream]

[Welcome, Silly White Sweet, to the livestream]

The instance owners who had received invitations entered the livestream one after another.

[Seeking Sponsorship: Huh, why did the livestream suddenly start again?]

[Seeking Sponsorship: Wait, something's not right. Why does this place look kind of familiar...?]

[Chūnibyō Is Not a Disease: Hm? Why is that woman Yan here, too?]

[Chūnibyō Is Not a Disease: Wait! What's with this name!! Who are you calling a chunibyo!!!]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Oh? So it's Leng.]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Looks like the names in the livestream really do suit everyone's personalities.]

[Silly White Sweet: Sister Yan... I'm clearly not silly or sweet at all.]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: All right, our Zhixin isn't. Sister Yan was talking about that troublemaker Leng.]

[Chūnibyō Is Not a Disease: Yan! You! Are you looking for a fight?!]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Oh? Is a defeated opponent hoping to relive old times?]

[Chūnibyō Is Not a Disease: You jerk, Yan!!]

[Try Touching Me: Um... Sister Yan, why is my name so weird...?]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Oh? Who are you?]

Angel Yan raised an eyebrow.

This name... She honestly couldn't guess who it was at first. Whoever called her "Sister Yan" had to be one of her sisters.

But... who?

Azhui was right beside her, and Zhixin was "Silly White Sweet," so... Fan Xing? Yi Tian? Qingqing? Or Lingxi?

Azhui blinked beside her, clearly unable to place the name, either.

[Try Touching Me: Huh? Sister Azhui is here, too! Sister Yan, Sister Azhui, it's me, Lingxi~]

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Lingxi? Wow, that name really was hard to guess.]

[Try Touching Me: Boohoo, I don't know why they gave me a name like this, either...]

[Little Milk Sha: It's nice seeing everyone catch up, but... what's going on over there right now?]

[Try Touching Me: Huh? Which sister is this?]

[Chūnibyō Is Not a Disease: Who are you? What's it to you if we're catching up?]

[Chūnibyō Is Not a Disease: Besides, why should we tell you?]

At Leng's words, Angel Yan and Azhui looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

I thought the Heavenly King was already unrivaled under heaven. Whose general is this?!

Zhixin, over in Fei Leize, had her mouth open in a perfect "O" at Leng's words.

Sister Leng... was so fierce.

Merlo Heavenly Court.

"Hahaha—!"

Hexi laughed so hard she rocked back and forth, her fair hand repeatedly slapping her raised thigh.

"Manly woman, you're killing me!"

After finally managing to stop laughing, she cleared her throat and imitated Leng's usual tone:

"Who are you? What's it to you if we're catching up?"

Keisha beside her wore a dark expression.

It wasn't because of Leng.

As a queen, she wasn't so petty.

It was purely because of the "best friend" beside her, who took every opportunity to mock her.

Of course, Angel Leng wasn't just bad-tempered.

She'd just been bested by Yan and was still fuming. When "Little Milk Sha" spoke up, she'd walked straight into the line of fire.

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Leng, I admit you're good at this one. (Thumbs-up)]

[Chūnibyō Is Not a Disease: Hm? What do you mean, Yan? Are you finally admitting I'm stronger than you?!]

Angel Leng thought Yan's words sounded a little strange, but she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth smugly.

That jerk had finally admitted she was stronger!

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Mm, I really can't compete with you in this regard.]

[Chūnibyō Is Not a Disease: Hmph, Yan, you're finally willing to tell the truth?]

Seeing Yan "admit defeat" again, Angel Leng felt this was the proudest moment of her life.

But the next second—

The corners of her mouth, which had just lifted, froze. Then her whole face went deathly pale, panic plain as day.

[The Fox Yan Who Knows How to Flirt: Well, after all—I wouldn't talk to Queen Keisha like that~]

[Try Touching Me: Q-Queen Keisha!!?]

Lingxi's eyes widened, her little face full of shock.

That was the Queen?!

But... why was the Queen's name "Little Milk Sha"?!

And Sister Leng... had just spoken to the Queen like that...

Sister Leng hadn't known it was the Queen, but...

Oh no, oh no. Sister Leng was in for it now.
