You Be Pretty, I'll Do the Fighting and Killing (Unrelated to the Content)

Based on Su Nanxiu's description, this is a science fiction story that takes place in the real world, where bears transform into humans...

For now, people can think of him as a human named Rasputin... or perhaps, if he reappears, he might be named something like "Xuanpin" (玄牝).

Most importantly, he is able to reproduce with human females, and the human female as his mate does not need to be anything special.

That's a complete re-compilation of the DNA sequence... What happened to this bear? Such an extraordinary encounter can be described as a miracle unprecedented in the history of biological evolution.

This bear is good enough to be the protagonist of a story.

But in truth... the birth of life on Earth is itself one of the most incredible miracles in the universe.

In this universe spanning billions of light-years, such an asteroid was found, and life was born. Even such an asteroid, which seems suitable for life to settle, can still experience disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite falls, which are catastrophic for fragile life.

It was in this environment that life not only emerged on Earth, but also continued to thrive. They even began to imagine leaving this asteroid and searching for other suitable planets to settle on.

Will their journey one day truly lead them to the stars and the sea?

Liu Chang'an was full of anticipation for this; compared to that, the growth history of such a bear was only somewhat unusual.

"The world is so big, and I've never actually met him before," Liu Chang'an said with a touch of emotion.

"You said it yourself, the world is so big. Theoretically, if you throw a message in a bottle on the beach, it will eventually return to its origin, but that's only in theory..." Su Nanxiu approached Liu Chang'an, her eyes flickering, finally settling on his eyes. "Our encounter is just one of countless possibilities. From the birth of humankind, every one of my ancestors had to protect themselves before giving birth to offspring, facing the threats of floods and wild beasts, facing the numerous crises in the wars between human tribes, surviving one unexpected event after another. They passed down their traditions generation after generation. If even one of them had failed to avoid the crisis, I would not have been born, and we would not have met."

"You're right. Every life is a miracle of inheritance, so everyone should cherish this inheritance. Your ancestors paid countless hardships to ensure that the bloodline has been passed down to this day... But some people insist on abandoning this inheritance and using the tools of inheritance passed down from their ancestors as a troublemaker," Liu Chang'an said regretfully.

"Your attempts to change the subject are as clumsy as ever." Su Nanxiu looked at him irritably, then her eyes flickered, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

"So, Rasputin slapped Li Hongfang, was he sending a signal?" Liu Chang'an continued to awkwardly change the subject.

"That's right... There's no doubt that Rasputin has also been searching for a super-life form similar to him, it's just that you haven't met him, and naturally he hasn't met you either... But he has already found the remains or evidence of Yu Chao- life form, and his appearance in your treasure trove fully illustrates this point." Su Nanxiu didn't mind him changing the subject; there was plenty of time for romance, the important thing now was to find Rasputin.

"So when he met Li Hongfang at my treasure trove, he knew that Li Hongfang must be in contact with me. As long as Li Hongfang was hurt, Li Hongfang would definitely contact me. He was using Li Hongfang to find my whereabouts." Liu Chang'an nodded.

"That's how it is... Perhaps when you recently came into contact with Li Hongfang, you were already exposed to his suspicions." Su Nanxiu said with a hint of reminder, because Liu Chang'an's attitude remained as nonchalant as ever.

"The reason he hasn't shown himself yet is simply because he's observing me from the shadows. He doesn't know my attitude towards other super beings, nor can he ascertain my strength, so he dares not reveal himself rashly... What a wary little bear." Liu Chang'an understood. Just as Liu Chang'an humbly considers himself the fifth strongest in the world, this little bear is not arrogant enough to believe he is the most powerful creature on Earth.

"That's possible, but it could also be for some other reason."

What other reason could there be?

"I don't know... I'm just reminding you that you've always been in contact with normal humans, so your thinking is inevitably influenced. Even when facing a super-being like Rasputin, you're used to thinking like a normal human. This... isn't appropriate. You should be more careful and vigilant towards him. Perhaps it's not suitable to analyze him using human behavior patterns." Su Nanxiu felt that his attitude was still too calm and not cautious enough.

"Thank you." Liu Chang'an agreed with Su Nanxiu's words. From Su Nanxiu's perspective, Liu Chang'an was just a super life form. Without a direct comparison, no one could say for sure which super life form was stronger.

"You're welcome. By the way... Li Hongfang said that when you agreed to help her treat her injuries, you made a condition... What do you plan to do with her?" Su Nanxiu originally didn't want to ask more, but in the end, she was still a little concerned.

"Oh... we're planning to open a new restaurant and we need a manager." Liu Chang'an hadn't forgotten about it.

Liu Chang'an just felt that Li Hongfang looked like the manager of a rice noodle shop.

Besides, it's a good job for her, which is better than digging graves or digging in the dirt.

"As expected of you." Su Nanxiu was speechless. He actually found a notorious thief from the underground archaeology world to be the manager of a rice noodle shop. How could he even think of that?

If customers knew how many graves the rice noodle shop owner's hands had dug up, would they still be able to eat at her restaurant?

"I hope we can share information on tracking Rasputin... You provide the information, and if a conflict eventually arises, I'll take responsibility for dealing with him." Liu Chang'an had never seen the S-class cyborgs under Su Nanxiu's command, but if those cyborgs could handle Rasputin, Su Nanxiu wouldn't be studying Rasputin so carefully and actively now.

"Will you take responsibility for me?"

"I'll handle him," Liu Chang'an corrected with a smile.

"You'd rather take responsibility for him than for me?" Su Nanxiu looked at Liu Chang'an lazily, as if there was something wrong with her ears, and reached out to pinch her soft earlobe.

Liu Chang'an let out a long sigh of relief.

"Let's have a spar." Su Nanxiu took off her work clothes, revealing an eager expression. "Since we're going to cooperate to deal with Rasputin, my information gathering and surveillance capabilities are beyond question, but I want to know if you can really handle him."

We've practiced together.

"That was many years ago. Back then, I was just an innocent girl, a lamb led to the slaughter." Su Nanxiu looked at Liu Chang'an's tall and straight figure. "It's a pity that I didn't even leave a scar on you back then."

"Oh... are you much better now than you were back then?" Liu Chang'an hadn't thought about that question... In his eyes, there wasn't much difference in physical ability between Su Nanxiu now and Su Mei who tried to assassinate him back then.

There are still some differences... She has a slightly better figure, but she didn't completely and faithfully recreate the fourteen-year-old Su Mei from back then.

"To be fair, I will use weapons; you will have to fight bare-handed." Su Nanxiu walked out of the room. "The training ground is downstairs."

"Why don't you prepare a few RPG shots? That would be fairer."

Su Nanxiu giggled, just like the playful and mischievous girl she once was.

(I recommend the novel <Dungeon Player> by Blue-and-White Sky. It's a very creative work, a lighthearted slice-of-life story about a dungeon lord and his players. It's already over a million words long.)
