You're awake? The surgery was a success, you're a eunuch now

Zhu Zhuqing sat opposite them, watching Su Chen's manner of ordering food, and silently touched her own money pouch.

She suddenly had a premonition.

This meal might cost more than everything she had spent during her entire journey of fleeing.

Soon, the table was piled high with dishes.

Su Chen and Xiao Wu swept through the food like a whirlwind, one responsible for eating, the other for snatching.

Xiao Wu guarded her plate, her cheeks puffed out, yet she still didn't forget to glare at Su Chen.

"Boss, I ordered all the rabbit heads!"

Zhu Zhuqing was already injured and had little appetite, so she only ate a few bites quietly.

When it came time to pay the bill, she stood up on her own initiative.

The moment her money pouch flattened, the corner of Zhu Zhuqing's eye twitched slightly.

Su Chen picked his teeth and glanced at the wounds on Zhu Zhuqing's body.

What a tough cat, not a single sound of complaint!

He casually redeemed a bottle of special-effect golden sore medicine from the system mall and tossed it onto the table.

With a "clack," the medicine bottle landed on the table.

"This is golden sore medicine. It has miraculous effects on external injuries. I guarantee that after applying it, you won't even have a scar left, and your skin will be smoother than a peeled egg."

Su Chen stood up, hands in his pockets, his tone indifferent: "Consider it payment for this meal."

The key was to be cold and arrogant.

Su Chen knew clearly that there were techniques to pursuing beautiful women.

For a little kitten like Zhu Zhuqing, who was cold on the outside but sensitive on the inside, one must absolutely not act like a sycophant.

One had to rely on playing hard to get and on personal charisma to conquer her.

A man must be aloof for a woman to become curious about him.

Seeing Su Chen head upstairs, Xiao Wu immediately trotted after him like a little tail.

"Boss, wait for me! I promise I won't grind my teeth tonight!"

Beside the dining table, only Zhu Zhuqing remained, sitting there quietly.

She looked down at the bottle of medicine, her eyes complex.

Ever since her martial soul awakened, no one in her family had treated her well; no one had ever treated her so casually and naturally.

Although this person spoke nonsense and acted in an extremely eccentric manner.

His actions, however, inexplicably made her feel a trace of warmth.

Zhu Zhuqing picked up the medicine bottle, gripped it tightly in her hand, and turned to head upstairs toward her room.

She entered her room and closed the door.

She took off her tattered black leather outfit, revealing fine, dense wounds all over her skin.

Opening the medicine bottle, a cool, medicinal fragrance wafted into her nose.

As she applied the medicine to her body, a cool, refreshing sensation spread from the wounds.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the wounds gradually healing in the mirror, and the image of that boy who spoke nothing but nonsense involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

The next morning.

Su Chen opened his eyes to see Xiao Wu clinging to him tightly like a koala.

One of her long legs was draped over his stomach, and the glistening drool at the corner of her mouth was smeared all over his clothes.

Su Chen's face darkened; this rabbit even drooled in her sleep.

He reached out, grabbed Xiao Wu's two rabbit ears, and pulled upward.

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Xiao Wu opened her eyes groggily, her limbs flailing about: "Boss, what are you doing! Disturbing someone's dream early in the morning."

"You're awake? The surgery was a success; you're a eunuch now."

Xiao Wu was startled into a shiver, hurriedly felt herself below, and then rolled her eyes: "Boss, are you sick? I'm a girl to begin with!"

After the two finished washing up, they went downstairs to have breakfast.

As soon as they reached the bottom floor, they saw a cold, elegant figure sitting in the lobby, with breakfast already laid out in front of her.

It was clearly three portions.

Zhu Zhuqing had changed into a clean, black tight-fitting outfit.

Although it wasn't as stimulating as last night's battle-damaged black leather, the clothes clung tightly to her body, and the scale of her figure was still magnificent enough to make it impossible to look away.

The fine, dense wounds from last night had already faded until they were almost invisible.

Products from the system were guaranteed to be of high quality.

Seeing Su Chen come down, Zhu Zhuqing stood up and took the initiative to greet him.

"Young Master Su Chen, did you sleep well last night?"

Her tone was somewhat stiff; it was clear she rarely initiated conversations with others.

"It was alright, though I was a bit breathless from being pinned down by a certain rabbit."

Su Chen pulled out a chair to sit down and, without standing on ceremony, picked up a meat bun from the table and took a bite.

Beside him, Xiao Wu glared at him indignantly, then stared at Zhu Zhuqing with vigilance.

This woman had been lying in wait here since the crack of dawn.

She was definitely up to no good with the Boss!

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Young Master Su, where are you heading next?"

"Soto City."

Her eyes lit up; this was the answer she had been waiting for: "To be honest, I happen to be going to Soto City as well. I wonder if I might accompany you?"

After the words left her lips, her fingertips tightened slightly.

She knew very well that if she traveled alone and encountered assassins from the Star Luo Empire again, it would be a certain death sentence.

Following this youth, who acted strangely but possessed terrifying strength, would provide a sense of security that was off the charts.

Hearing this, the radar atop Xiao Wu's head began to blare wildly.

"Warning! Warning! Warning!"

Good grief, the fox's tail was finally showing!

Using the excuse of traveling together to get a head start on the competition?

This big-breasted cow truly had terrifying intentions.

Just as Xiao Wu was about to slam the table and refuse, a flash of inspiration crossed her mind.

Wait.

The Boss clearly had an interest in this big-breasted cow.

If she tried to block it, she definitely wouldn't be able to stop him.

What if the Boss thought she was being unreasonable and tossed her aside?

Xiao Wu's eyes darted around as her intelligence came online.

If you can't beat them, join them!

If I turn her into my good sister, then she'll be one of my people.

If the Boss likes her, it's the same as liking me. Rounding it up, the Boss still likes me the most!

This logic was simply perfect!

Xiao Wu instantly put on an enthusiastic smile, squeezed past Su Chen, leaned in close to Zhu Zhuqing, and linked arms with her.

"Oh my, Sister Zhuqing is going to Soto City too? That's wonderful! I was just worrying about having no one to chat with on the road!"

Zhu Zhuqing went stiff from this sudden display of warmth.

Yesterday, the look in Xiao Wu's eyes had been full of hostility.

She had even called her a big-breasted cow.

How did her attitude do a complete one-eighty after just one night's sleep?

She hesitated and said, "Uh, Xiao Wu, you can just call me Zhuqing."

"Alright, Sister Zhuqing!"

Xiao Wu slapped the table with great gusto.

"From now on, you're with me, and I've got your back! Whoever dares to bully you, I'll use my Lightning Eight-Fold Kick to kick them into becoming a moron!"

Zhu Zhuqing's mouth twitched, but in the end, she didn't object.

Su Chen, on the other hand, was stunned!

What was going on? Had this rabbit taken the wrong medicine today?

However, looking at the two beautiful girls with such contrasting styles huddled together, he silently gave Xiao Wu a thumbs-up in his heart.

It wasn't in vain that he fed her so many spicy rabbit heads.

You really are what you eat.

Xiao Wu turned her head, and with her back to Zhu Zhuqing, she winked frantically at Su Chen, stood on her tiptoes, and leaned into his ear to whisper, taking credit for her actions.

"Boss, I understand you! This is what you call having vision! Charity begins at home, after all."

After muttering this, Xiao Wu patted Su Chen on the shoulder: "Boss, don't go worshipping Sister Xiao Wu too much~!"

Once she finished speaking, Xiao Wu sat down beside Zhu Zhuqing and began to enjoy her breakfast.

Su Chen didn't say a word, simply remaining a quiet, handsome man.

Watching the two of them, the tension in Zhu Zhuqing's heart dissipated quite a bit for no apparent reason.

She had originally thought that traveling together would be somewhat difficult, but she hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

Once they were full, the three of them left the hotel and officially set off on the road to Soto City.
