Android 18 looked at the words Yun Feng had spoken, her heart suddenly trembling. Ever since Dr. Gero had chosen her to become an Android, no one had ever treated her like this.
After all, she had once been human, and the way she looked at Yun Feng had already begun to change.
Watching Android 18 fall for his ploy, Yun Feng felt ecstatic. It really worked.
He then turned to Trunks and said, "You are no match for me. With me here today, you won't be able to harm Android 18. You had better retreat."
Having already become an acting master, how could Trunks give up his final chance to perform? He spoke up, "Asking me to retreat? Impossible. Let me experience your high-level techniques."
Yun Feng shook his head. This kid Trunks was truly stubborn. The effect had been achieved, but since he had ordered the fight himself, it seemed he had no choice but to go through with it.
Trunks lunged forward in a burst of speed. Android 18 shouted, "Watch out, Trunks is coming!"
Yun Feng smiled, his hair turning golden as a golden aura flared around his body. He met the charge head-on. Trunks threw a punch, but Yun Feng's speed was far too great; Trunks unleashed several strikes, all of which hit nothing but air.
Suddenly, Yun Feng appeared and landed a punch on Trunks's abdomen. Trunks clutched his stomach and stumbled back, only for Yun Feng to reappear behind him and deliver an elbow strike. With a loud boom, Trunks crashed into the ground, landing in a half-crouch.
Cracks immediately spiderwebbed across the ground. Yun Feng vanished again. Trunks looked around frantically, searching for him, when suddenly a kick landed on his body, sending him flying.
Yun Feng clapped his hands, reverted to his normal state, and walked slowly to Android 18's side. He said gently, "Let's leave first. Look at Android 16, who is already somewhat damaged, and Android 17, who is covered in wounds."
Android 18 nodded. Yun Feng grabbed the three of them and used Instant Transmission to depart.
Trunks slowly climbed to his feet. "It hurts... Mr. Yun Feng's strength is truly immense. I was as helpless as a child, unable to even fight back."
Trunks took out the Senzu Bean that Yun Feng had given him earlier and swallowed it. Recovering his strength and stamina, he returned to Kami's Lookout, waiting for Yun Feng to return and instruct him.
But with this beauty now in his grasp, Yun Feng had long since forgotten about Trunks.
Yun Feng brought the three of them to Bulma's house, walked inside, and shouted, "Is Bulma here?"
A moment later, Bulma's father, the doctor, walked out. "Young man, are you looking for Bulma? She's inside."
Yun Feng nodded and smiled. "Hello, Uncle. I'm a friend of Bulma's."
Soon after, Bulma rushed out. "Yun Feng, why are you here?"
Yun Feng spoke up, "I have a favor to ask of you. Let's go inside." Bulma had never seen the Androids following him before.
Yun Feng introduced them: "These are Androids."
Bulma's face immediately fell. "Yun Feng, why did you bring such dangerous enemies into my house?" She turned as if to flee.
"They aren't bad people. They've never killed anyone, and now they're on our side," Yun Feng explained.
"The two of them are severely injured. Perhaps you are the only genius scientist on this Earth who can heal them," Yun Feng said to Bulma.
Hearing Yun Feng's praise, Bulma immediately agreed. "No problem, Yun Feng, just leave it to me."
Yun Feng nodded and smiled. "Then I'll go take care of some business and come back to pick them up in a few days." Android 16 and Android 17 bowed gratefully to Yun Feng before following Bulma inside.
Yun Feng then took Android 18 by the hand and walked toward West City. "18, let's go for a stroll."
Android 18's face turned red instantly. "Yun Feng, is this a date?"
Yun Feng laughed. "I suppose it is."
Ding! Host has completed the mission. Reward: Resurrection Technique.
Yun Feng was delighted. That was it? That was too easy. For someone as handsome as me, this was effortless.
The system had already begun to despise this shameless host from the depths of its code.
Ding! Hidden mission: Obtain a kiss from Android 18.
Reward: Invincible Golden Body (Can block one incoming attack; a life-saving divine skill).
Damn, Android 18's popularity is off the charts! Two hidden missions in a row, and the skills are so overpowered.
It seemed he would have to put in a little more effort. Looking at Android 18, he took her hand and said, "Let's go buy you a couple of outfits."
Women could never refuse beautiful clothes. Android 18 was actually a bit dazed; no one had ever treated her this well before. After picking out a few sets of clothes she liked, Yun Feng paid for them, and they left the shop.
Yun Feng spotted a nice-looking restaurant and took the initiative. "Let's go get something to eat."
Android 18 said, "Alright." The two entered the restaurant. Yun Feng let her order a few dishes she liked and added a few more himself. They enjoyed a pleasant meal, and their relationship grew closer.
Yun Feng flew with Android 18 out of the city to a pasture with a vast expanse of green grass. He watched as she sat down.
"18, why do you hate Dr. Gero so much?" Yun Feng asked curiously.
Android 18's expression immediately turned intense. "Because we hate that Dr. Gero modified us without our consent. We were originally ordinary humans; we could have lived peaceful lives."
Yun Feng spoke softly, "18, I'm sorry. I brought up a painful memory. It doesn't matter; in the future, you can live like normal people. I will always protect you. As for the bomb inside you, I will collect the Dragon Balls and ask Shenron to remove it for you."
Android 18 looked at Yun Feng in shock. "Yun Feng, is what you said true? You aren't lying to me?"
Yun Feng, thick-skinned as ever, replied, "Of course not. I truly like you, and I want to protect you for the rest of your life."
Android 18 was stunned. "You like me... and want to protect me?" Although she had guessed as much before, hearing Yun Feng say it left her feeling dazed.
Yun Feng immediately pulled her close and kissed her. Android 18 struggled for a moment before letting nature take its course.
The scenery was as beautiful as a painting, with the lush green grass stretching out. Yun Feng suddenly felt awkward, not knowing what to say.
Ding! Host has completed the hidden mission. Reward: Invincible Golden Body.
Hearing the system's voice, Yun Feng knew his mission was complete.
Then he slowly spoke, "Android 18, why don't you stay with us for now? It's still quite dangerous for you to be out there; Cell is constantly looking to absorb you and Android 17."
Android 18 nodded, silently agreeing.
Yun Feng brought Android 18 toward the place where he had been staying since his arrival. He had built a fairly large room in the mountains at the time, and he took her there to show her the way.
Yun Feng said, "Android 18, in a couple of days, go to Bulma's place and bring Android 17 and Android 16 over here. I'm going to the Heavenly Realm to train first, and I'll come back to pick you all up when Babidi's game begins."
Android 18 nodded. Seeing how large Yun Feng's house was, she felt she finally had a home and wouldn't have to wander anymore; her heart was filled with affection for Yun Feng.
Yun Feng used Instant Transmission and appeared directly in the Heavenly Realm. At this moment, Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan had already entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again, leaving only Trunks and Vegeta waiting outside.
Yun Feng greeted everyone, and Trunks said with pleasant surprise, "Mr. Yun Feng, you've finally come. I have already realized my own shortcomings."
Looking at the grateful Trunks, Yun Feng nodded encouragingly, "Train hard, and you will certainly be able to break through the barrier of the Super Saiyan and reach new heights."
Trunks nodded excitedly; it seemed he was now full of confidence in his own training.
Vegeta did not say a single word from beginning to end; he merely glanced over a few times before closing his eyes again.
This Saiyan Prince was truly too aloof; he was not easy to get along with.
