Subordinate's Self-Awareness

[I told you to use your supernatural ability to clean my leather shoes!]

[Why are you taking off my pants!!!]

Seeing those three bolded exclamation marks, Yu Shishi finally realized what a foolish thing she had done.

Her face turned as red as a ripe tomato, and smoke almost rose from the top of her head.

"I... I'm sorry! Boss, I was wrong!"

"I... misunderstood the meaning."

Jiangnan's face darkened. If looks could kill, this silly girl would have reincarnated eight hundred times already.

He put his pants back on and coldly pointed at the leather shoes still covered in mud.

"Giving you one last chance."

Yu Shishi shivered all over from fear. This time, she didn't dare to overthink.

Holding her breath, she placed her hands just above the leather shoes, cautiously controlling the faint energy within her body.

"Cleanse!"

Buzz!

The next second, the originally dirty leather shoes were instantly renewed!

They were even shinier than new shoes in a department store display, so much so that they could be used as mirrors!

"Hoo..."

Yu Shishi wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Jiangnan with a fawning expression, "Boss, is... is this okay this time?"

Jiangnan looked down at the gleaming leather shoes, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Interesting."

Although this supernatural ability had no offensive power, it actually had a faint "renovation" and "repair" effect?

It seemed this silly girl wasn't entirely useless.

He picked up a pen and wrote his final judgment for Yu Shishi on the memo pad.

[Barely passed.]

[Starting today, you are the "Captain of Cleanliness" on the vehicle.]

[Responsible for vehicle sanitation, laundry, cooking, and assisting.]

Yu Shishi didn't feel wronged at all. Instead, she felt like she had been granted a great pardon and nodded frantically.

"Thank you, Boss! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

As long as she could stay in this Luxury RV, let alone do sanitation, she'd be happy to do anything!

The misunderstanding was cleared, and everyone returned to their positions.

Wang Meng began to act, setting off again.

However, just a few kilometers after the vehicle started, a surprising scene occurred.

As the Trees became fewer, several rotten Corpse Wolves and a few lone Mutated Pigs appeared.

Under normal circumstances, these Monsters would definitely pounce on the Human Vehicle like rabid dogs.

Wang Meng was already prepared to ram into them.

But the moment the Bus got close.

"Awooo?!"

The Corpse Wolves instantly scrambled and burrowed into the grass by the roadside!

Even the stubborn Mutated Pigs were so scared they turned and fled, as if they would die if they were a step slower.

"Holy Crap?"

Wang Meng stared at the scene through the Windshield, dumbfounded.

"This is too amazing, right? Does this RV come with Conqueror's Haki?"

"It's not the vehicle's Haki."

At this moment, Liu Yuqing, who was sitting on the sofa, adjusted her Glasses.

Looking at Yu Shishi, who was diligently wiping the floor in the Corner with a Rag, she said faintly:

"It's the Captain of Cleanliness's credit."

"Huh?" Wang Meng was confused.

Liu Yuqing explained, "Fox Borrowing Tiger's Might, understand?"

"The Scarecrow's Gaze on Shishi, although it's an Assassination Mark, it also emits a powerful Aura."

"For these low-level monsters, the people in this carriage are not humans, but a Terrifying Lord patrolling its Territory!"

"She is now a Living Human Beast Repellent."

Wang Meng gave a Thumbs Up after listening.

"Awesome! It seems we not only picked up a Cleaner, but also a Guardian Beast!"

Yu Shishi scratched her head, "What Guardian Beast? What are you guys talking about? I don't understand."

Chen Tong instantly realized, "Right! If that's the case, then the Wheat Field we're going to isn't the location of the Terrifying Scarecrow?"

As soon as she said that, Wang Meng immediately stopped the carriage.

The Several People started discussing again.

Liu Yuqing asked, "Shishi, have you ever seen a Scarecrow?"

"Scarecrow... Let me think, I saw one last night!"

"Back then, Yang Wei and the others were chased by Crows into the Safe Zone in the Wheat Field, and the Crows didn't dare to chase further."

"After that, I argued with Bai Lianhua and left the group."

"Just as I was leaving, it suddenly appeared and tripped me."

"But I was angry at the time, so I casually picked up my shoe and slapped its head, directly making its head crooked."

"As for its specific appearance... it has Three Hands and is Two and a Half Meters Tall!"

"As for its face, because it was looking down, I didn't see it at all."

Inside the Carriage, after listening to Yu Shishi's fragmented description, Liu Yuqing adjusted her Glasses.

"Case closed."

"That Terrifying Scarecrow is in the Wheat Field! And it has a very strong sense of Territory."

Liu Yuqing looked at the Crows outside the Window, which only dared to observe from afar and not approach, and analyzed.

"The reason those Mutated Crows don't chase into the Wheat Field is not because the Wheat Field is a Safe Zone!"

"But because it's a Hunting Ground for a stronger monster!"

"The Aura on Yu Shishi's body is like Tiger Urine to the Crows, a natural Deterrent."

Hearing this, Yu Shishi belatedly covered her mouth, her face turning pale.

"Oh my god... So the Ragged Thing that I slapped in the face with my shoe sole last night..."

"It's actually a monster... stronger than crows?"

Everyone: "..."

I have to say, fools have all the luck. It's a miracle he's still alive.

Jiangnan sat on the sofa, listening to the analysis, and nodded thoughtfully.

Since this "Scarecrow Aura" is so effective...

He typed a line on the Smart Control Panel.

[Slaughter it and skin it.]

[Make it into camouflage coating for the car.]

If Yu Shishi alone could scare away the flock of crows, then what if the entire bus was coated with that Scarecrow Aura?

Wouldn't they be able to roam this area freely?

In the cockpit, Wang Meng saw this and his hand trembled, almost breaking the steering wheel.

"Holy crap... Big Boss is truly a Big Boss!"

"Others are trying to avoid monsters, but the Big Boss actually wants to dismantle a monster and use it as car paint?!"

Although it sounded crazy, upon closer thought... it was damn exciting!

"Alright! Everyone hold on tight! We're going to find that bastard and give him some trouble!"

Wang Meng violently turned the steering wheel, speeding towards that golden wheat field.

Inside the Carriage.

Upon hearing they were going back for revenge, Yu Shishi wasn't scared. Instead, she excitedly waved her little fists.

"Great! If possible, I want to tear that bitch Bai Lianhua apart right now! She tricked me and got me into trouble!"

As she spoke, she excitedly spread her arms, wanting to hug Liu Yuqing beside her.

"Yuqing! Let's go kill them all!"

"Stop!"

Liu Yuqing pushed her away with a disgusted look, her hand blocking Yu Shishi's forehead.

"Shishi, calm down. Also... you're really dirty, can you clean yourself up first?"

Only then did Yu Shishi realize.

My feet were bare, covered in mud and bloodstains, my hair a mess like a chicken coop.

With this appearance, even a beggar would have to give me two cents.

At this moment, Jiangnan also stood up.

After a night of fighting, his body was also covered in dried black blood and sweat, sticky and extremely uncomfortable.

Without any hesitation, he directly took off the blood-stained shirt in front of the three girls.

What? You ask why I wouldn't let Yu Shishi take it off?

Can that be the same?

It's like you peeing yourself, versus letting an unfamiliar person help you pee.

Can you trust that the other person is really there to help you pee?

"Hiss..."

A sound of gasping for air echoed inside the carriage.

Underneath Jiangnan's seemingly slender clothes, there was an Extremely Strong Physique!

The muscle definition was clear, and the Eight Pack Abs were as if carved by knives.

Even more eye-catching were the many small, old scars on his back and arms.

These were the medals he had earned over the past Eighteen Years, working on construction sites as a Brick Mover and Carrying Cement to save money for travel check-ins.

After all, for a Minor Orphan, that was the only Legitimate Way to earn Quick Money through part-time jobs.

"Wh... what a great body..."

Chen Tong's face flushed, her eyes a little unfocused.

Who would have thought that this usually quiet Student would be a Tough Guy when he took off his clothes?

Jiangnan didn't care about this.

He was clear about his body; he was still within the realm of an Ordinary Person, just a bit better at fighting and enduring than the average person.

Moreover, after Stayed Up All Night with High-intensity Mental Tension.

He just wanted to take a bath and sleep now, and couldn't muster any interest in those Fiery Gaze.

He walked to the Bathroom Door and stuck a note on it.

[Don't come in.]

Then, with a "bang," the door was shut.

After the RV was upgraded, it came with an extra-large water tank, so water resources were abundant, enough for him to have a good wash.

Looking at the closed bathroom door, Chen Tong sighed with some regret.

She had originally... wanted to see if she could go in and help scrub his back or something.

After all, she didn't have any supernatural abilities, and if she didn't seize every opportunity to show her "value," she would always feel uneasy.

"Alright, stop staring."

Liu Yuqing patted Yu Shishi, who was still daydreaming.

"Get to work quickly! Wash the Boss's clothes, and clean us up too."

"Oh, oh! Okay!"

Yu Shishi was currently atoning for her mistakes and was full of energy.

She activated her [Cleaning] supernatural ability. With a flash of white light, the dirty clothes Jiangnan had thrown on the ground were instantly renewed, even the wrinkles were smoothed out.

Immediately after, she also cast "Cleaning Spell" on herself, Liu Yuqing, and Chen Tong.

The originally dirty Escape Team instantly became clean and radiant, as if they had just come out of a SPA.

"Wang Meng, do you want to get cleaned up?"

Yu Shishi called out towards the cockpit.

"No need!"

Wang Meng refused without turning his head. "I'm a grown man, a bit of oil stain on me looks proper! And..."

He didn't say the latter half of the sentence.

As a man, he understood boundaries very well.

Those were women who shared the same roof as Jiangnan.

As a subordinate, it was best for him not to even get close, and avoiding suspicion was the Way of Survival.
