Earth Life Was Wonderful
Suddenly, the sound of Opening Gate rang out.
"Sister He, where should I put the dishes?" It was the voice of image assistant Wang Qiang.
"Put them in the kitchen. Xiao Wang, thank you. It's really inconvenient for me to carry so many bags by myself." That was the voice of He Zhiqing, the household assistant.
"Hehe, no need to thank me, we're practically family. Sister He, why did you buy so many groceries?"
"Mr. Bai and Miss Bai are returning today, no later than noon. I plan to cook a feast of my best dishes to welcome them back... Xiao Wang, you can go ahead and get busy! I'll clean the room first."
"The house is quite clean, so you don't need to clean it."
"This is my job. Even though Mr. Bai is often away, his and Miss's room still needs to be cleaned every day so that Mr. Bai can rest whenever he comes back." He Zhiqing's voice was very serious.
"Okay, I'll be going now!"
The sound of the security door closing rang out, followed by soft footsteps.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had already imagined He Zhiqing carrying a mop and bucket, cleaning each room one by one.
"What should we do?" Li Shuyi pushed Bai Xiaowen's hand away frantically, somewhat flustered. "Is the room locked?"
Bai Xiaowen also felt awkward. "No..."
"Then get up now!" Li Shuyi used her high agility as an awakened being to throw off the covers, tiptoe to the wardrobe, quickly open the closet to grab clothes, and complained, "It's all your fault! If Assistant He had caught us... I might as well have jumped off the building!"
Receiving no response from Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi turned her head and saw Bai Xiaowen staring intently at her shapely figure, drooling.
"Are you trying to kill me?! Hurry up and get dressed!" Li Shuyi's face was flushed red, and she hurriedly grabbed a set of beige pajamas from the closet, put them on in a flustered manner, and then let out a long sigh of relief.
"There aren't any clothes for me here..." Bai Xiaowen said with a grin.
He was silently savoring the moment. As a melee awakener, Li Shuyi's figure was impeccable, with long legs, a slender waist, and defined abs. Her beautiful body was like that of a female leopard, with distinct curves and powerful explosive force.
It's a pity that He Zhiqing came back from grocery shopping...
"Sister He, couldn't you have come back a little later?" Bai Xiaowen asked, tears streaming down her face.
Li Shuyi opened the Opening Gate and went out first, startling He Zhiqing, who was about to Opening Gate.
"Assistant He, my room doesn't need cleaning, I want to rest for a bit," Li Shuyi said.
"Young Miss is back... Uh, okay, okay. Young Miss, you've worked hard, please get some rest." He Zhiqing said thoughtfully.
Li Shuyi was afraid that if she went to clean Bai Xiaowen's room, she would find that Bai Xiaowen wasn't in her room, so she quickly added, "Well, don't bother cleaning Xiao Wen's room either, he's sleeping there too."
He Zhiqing: "Really? But... Mr. Bai's room is empty."
Li Shuyi glanced over and saw that the door to Bai Xiaowen's bedroom next door had been pushed open, and a bucket was placed at the doorway...
That's awkward.
He Zhiqing seemed to have figured out the reason, suppressed a laugh, and her expression was somewhat strange.
As if remembering something, she stood the mop upright in the corner and exclaimed, "Oh dear, the Dragon Gate Carp I bought needs to be used to make soup while it's still fresh, otherwise it will affect the taste... Miss, you should rest well. I won't clean now; I need to go and prepare the fish..."
Bai Xiaowen stole a glance and muttered to herself, "I feel bad for you, Sister He. Such exaggerated acting skills deserve zero points."
Li Shuyi blushed as she watched He Zhiqing slip into the kitchen.
"It's all your fault!" Li Shuyi shouted angrily, wielding a pillow.
Bai Xiaowen took a few hits, but they didn't hurt him at all. He chuckled and said, "Don't try to fool Sister He by yourself just now. Just say I was discussing serious matters in your room, and that would have been fine."
Li Shuyi: "You're not wearing anything, no one would believe you're discussing serious business!"
Bai Xiaowen chuckled again, took out the equipment from his Storage Space, put it on, and activated the transformation function, instantly turning into a proper young man dressed in casual clothes. "See, isn't that enough?"
Li Shuyi: "... Why didn't you say so just now? You did it on purpose, didn't you!"
The pillows pelted over her head, leaving Bai Xiaowen no choice but to flee and crawl back to her room to sleep.
Xiao Jun slept until noon, and was brought back by driver Feng Kui. He Zhiqing prepared a large table of dishes to welcome Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi back.
Li Shuyi dawdled out of the room, somewhat hesitant to look He Zhiqing in the eye.
Fortunately He Zhiqing was good at handling things and didn't mention the morning's events at all. She warmly invited Li Shuyi and Bai Xiaowen to try her psychic dishes, which finally made Li Shuyi feel less embarrassed.
Bai Xiaowen was quite thick-skinned, while He Zhiqing was a little afraid to meet his gaze. As soon as their eyes met, He Zhiqing quickly looked away.
The meal was very enjoyable. In the King of Fighters Universe, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi found Japan food rather unusual. Back on Earth, eating He Zhiqing's psionic recipes and comparing them to the bland Japan cuisine they had been eating for the past ten days made them appreciate Earth life even more.
After having eaten and drunk their fill, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi went to the president's office.
The chairman's office, which was a mess in the morning with beer bottles and instant noodle wrappers scattered everywhere, is now neat and tidy. Li Beihai, dressed in a suit, sits behind his desk looking very proper, a stark contrast to his image in the morning, where he was showing off his chest muscles and hairy thighs while slurping down instant noodles.
"Little Bai, Shu Yi, you're back."
Li Beihai nodded, gesturing for the two to sit down, while simultaneously giving Bai Xiaowen a suggestive look.
Bai Xiaowen understood immediately; he definitely wouldn't reveal what happened that morning.
Next came the routine report, with Old Demon in charge of recording the intelligence.
Li Beihai and the Old Demon's mouths were also widening.
"Wait, you said you killed Yamazaki Ryūji as soon as you went in? And then you wiped out the entire Kusanagi Clan?" Li Beihai interrupted Bai Xiaowen, saying incredulously.
Seeing Bai Xiaowen nod, the Old Demon finally recovered from his shock and said, "Although Summoner Class can't coordinate as well as other classes in competitions, they are indeed useful for venturing into the Wilderness Zone and the Spirit Realm."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "The King of Fighters World is a small plane with basically no Lord Tier powerhouses. Moreover, apart from the story fighters participating in the fighting tournament, the other henchmen are all quite weak. It's also unlike the Three Kingdoms Plane World, which has a large-scale army, so the difficulty is relatively low."
"Moreover, fighters are all skilled in one-on-one combat, which is precisely what Xiao Wen's swarm tactics counter. Therefore, after entering the King of Fighters Plane, Xiao Wen quickly realized that this was a good opportunity to hunt for treasure and earn Psionic Points..." Li Shuyi had discussed her understanding of this Spirit Realm adventure with Bai Xiaowen, "We even killed Kyo Kusanagi in the end."
"What?" Even Li Beihai couldn't sit still and jumped up.
