Jiu De Mai

Lu Mingfei rubbed his face. "It's good that Little Goddess is alright, but your clothes are so dirty. Will you be okay going home?"

"Pfft!" Su Xiaoqiang said dismissively. "When I get home, I'll just say it was too dark on the road and I fell."

Little Goddess was as carefree as ever.

"Also, don't tell anyone about me crying today, or else, you know!" Su Xiaoqiang threatened, forming a knife with her right hand.

Lu Mingfei nodded vigorously.

"Then, in exchange, you won't tell anyone about my business either."

"You mean your superpower?"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head. "It's not wrong to call it a superpower."

"Are all you superpower users who silently protect the world this low-key?" Su Xiaoqiang tilted her head and asked.

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "That's right. To prevent the world from being destroyed, and to protect world peace, we superpower users have always been this low-key!"

"Pfft!" Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but laugh. Lu Mingfei was still the same, always able to say ridiculous things with a straight face.

"So, what happened tonight is a secret between the two of us. Don't tell anyone. I should go home. If I'm not home this late, my aunt will scold me to death."

Lu Mingfei waved goodbye to Su Xiaoqiang.

"Mhm, it's a secret between the two of us."

Su Xiaoqiang whispered as she watched Lu Mingfei's retreating back.

"Holy crap, I forgot to buy salt!" Lu Mingfei's curse echoed from a distance.

Although Su Xiaoqiang had encountered terrifying things today, her mood was not heavy at all.

Hoping his aunt wasn't in the living room, Lu Mingfei returned to his doorstep and slowly opened the door. Seeing no one in the living room, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Entering his room, Lu Mingfei saw his cousin, Lu Mingze, hunched over the desk, staring blankly at the old laptop.

Lu Mingze sighed every now and then.

It seemed the pain of "Scar of the Sunset" moving away would not heal anytime soon.

Late at night, Lu Mingfei lay in bed, contemplating the events of the evening. This world had become unfamiliar. The seemingly ordinary world also possessed extraordinary power.

Meeting Su Xiaoqiang was an accident. He had come out of the internet cafe and was walking home when he heard a girl's cry for help.

He ran over upon hearing the cry and saw a scaled monster reaching out to Su Xiaoqiang. The monster's aura was chaotic, and he could feel the deep malice emanating from it.

He decisively drew his Zanpakuto and severed the monster's hand.

"No, the hand!" Lu Mingfei sat up abruptly. He had only disintegrated the monster's body, but the hand remained. "Damn it, how could I make such a low-level mistake? I've been too careless since returning to this world. I've really let my guard down."

Lu Mingze, sleeping beside him, was sound asleep. Lu Mingfei got up, put on his clothes, and quietly slipped out.

He dodged surveillance cameras along the way and soon arrived at the location. Lu Mingfei carefully examined the ground and found not only no arm but not even a drop of blood.

It was clear that the traces had been cleaned up. Could it be a hidden force in this world?

He had lived in this city for so many years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a thing. Perhaps such anomalies had always been handled by specialized personnel.

Since someone had deliberately cleaned up the scene, it meant that someone did not want ordinary people to know about such matters.

As long as no one knew that I killed that monster, Lu Mingfei thought.

"Sigh, encountering this right after returning, what a hassle."

Lu Mingfei returned the way he came.

"Hey, hey, Potato Chips, Little White Rabbit is gone."

Jiu De Mai, lurking in the shadows in the distance, observed the place Lu Mingfei had just visited with binoculars.

She was a girl with long, jet-black hair tied into a ponytail. She wore light crimson eyeshadow, and a bright red string adorned her high-set bun. Most striking were her exquisite figure and proud long legs, making her unforgettable.

Jiu De Mai's Word of Power was sequence number 69, Underworld Reflection, which allowed the user to create a small domain centered on themselves, rendering anyone within it invisible and difficult to observe.

"The boss asked us to lure away the people from Kassel College who were monitoring Little White Rabbit, and then lead him to this Dead Servant. They said Little White Rabbit might have awakened and asked us to observe him. We didn't expect to witness such a cool scene," Su Enxi, wearing a bathrobe, said to Jiu De Mai while eating potato chips in a hotel, watching the screen.

"Little White Rabbit is truly terrifying. That Dead Servant was almost A-class by standard. Although his combat ability was crude, his physical fitness was quite strong. Long Legs, can you tell what path he's taking?"

"I can't see it at all. Those six beams of light and the shockwave with amazing special effects don't reveal what Word of Power it is," Jiu De Mai said, standing up and looking in the direction Lu Mingfei had left, shaking her head.

"And from the way he drew his sword, his swordsmanship is very strong. He doesn't seem like a beginner. He must have been hiding himself all these years."

"If Kassel College knew Little White Rabbit had been hiding for so long, would they think their years of surveillance were blind? Click."

Su Enxi ate potato chips with her legs crossed, her smooth, slender legs exposed to the air, looking delicate and soft.

"Alright, Long Legs, your mission is complete. You can come back."

"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat potato chips. No wonder you're so plump," Jiu De Mai complained.

"Hmph, my figure is actually quite good, I just can't compare to you. Long Legs, your next mission location is in Britain. Someone there wants to snatch some of our investments. Go and cut them down for me," Su Enxi said, raising her right fist high.

"Sigh, I'm destined to be a nanny. I just finished dealing with Little White Rabbit's loose ends, and now there's a new mission. Is it going to kill me to rest for a bit? What about Sanwu? Why didn't you assign her to go?"

Jiu De Mai put one hand on her hip and protested into the headset.

Su Enxi chuckled, "Sanwu has other tasks. Don't worry, I'll give you a long vacation after this one."

Jiu De Mai sighed softly, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "What about that little girl Su Xiaoqiang? Is it really okay to let ordinary people know about Dragon race things?"

"She's Little White Rabbit's friend. Judging by how he blasted people into smithereens, he won't let her talk nonsense. Besides, the boss said not to interfere with his decisions. Alright, your ticket is booked. It's a flight tomorrow noon. Get some rest and then head over." Su Enxi operated the computer with both hands.

The two broke contact.

Su Xiaoqiang lay on her soft bed at home, her mind filled with the scene of Lu Mingfei drawing his sword and standing in front of her.

"Ahhh! I can't think about it anymore!"

Su Xiaoqiang rolled around on the bed, wrapped in her blanket.
