Remaining Three Times

The next morning, Xiao He woke up first. He wasn't quite used to sleeping in the same bed with Ye Wanqing yet, so in the middle of the night he turned his back to Ye Wanqing and lay down on the left side of the bed. But Ye Wanqing was too cold and snuggled up to him. At this moment, Xiao He could feel Ye Wanqing's body pressed tightly against his back.

"Waking up like this every morning is not bad," Xiao He nodded in satisfaction.

He tried to turn around, but Ye Wanqing snorted in dissatisfaction and put her legs on him to prevent him from moving.

"This little angel," Xiao He thought to himself, taking the opportunity to admire Ye Wanqing's beautiful legs.

It's incredible that such slender and shapely legs feel so fleshy to the touch.

"Ugh, you're so annoying!" Ye Wanqing woke up, rubbed her eyes, and playfully slapped him, saying coquettishly, "You really do touch me wherever you can, you're never still for a second."

"That's not right. As a leg fetishist, if you put your beautiful legs on me and I don't touch them, that would be disrespectful to your charm, wouldn't you say?" Xiao He laughed. Since Ye Wanqing was already awake, he simply turned around and hugged her.

"Seriously nonsense," Ye Wanqing muttered, turning her back to him. "Old Xiao, I'm so cold."

"Yes," Xiao He responded, then hugged Ye Wanqing's waist and pulled her into his arms.

Ye Wanqing then gave a satisfied hum and pressed her feet against his legs to warm them. At this moment, Xiao He's hands, no longer under his control, moved upwards and embraced Ye Wanqing's body.

"You're a leg fetishist, huh?" Ye Wanqing turned around and glared at him before asking.

"My hand is out of control, really," Xiao He said seriously. "It seems like some Mutant has taken control of it."

"Shameless!" Ye Wanqing poked his cheek and complained, then grabbed her phone to check the time, "Seven o'clock."

After saying that, she lay back down on the pillow and muttered, "Just one more hour of sleep. I don't have class this morning anyway."

"Xiaoqing, Christmas is almost here," Xiao He asked, leaning over to kiss her cheek. Ye Wanqing gently rubbed her little feet against his leg and replied, "Not yet, there's still a week to go."

"Where do you want to go on Christmas Eve? I want to take you out," Xiao He said with a smile, nibbling on her earlobe.

Ye Wanqing shrank her neck with a soft "Eek," Xiao He immediately became curious: Oh? So her ears are her sensitive spot.

"No, Christmas Eve is a holiday for families to reunite," Ye Wanqing said coquettishly.

"Then let's invite Sister Man and Xia Yu over for dinner? Old Xie will definitely want to come with his family," Xiao He replied.

"Hmm, I'll ask them later," Ye Wanqing said, then fell silent. Xiao He kissed her on the cheek and prepared to get up, but Ye Wanqing huffed in dissatisfaction, "You're not allowed to get up! It's cold sleeping alone."

"Alright, alright," Xiao He sighed, and hugged her again. "Then don't blame me for being dishonest."

"Mm." Ye Wanqing nodded, turned around, hugged Xiao He, and smiled, "That's good."

"Really?" Xiao He pinched her butt, and Ye Wanqing buried her face in his chest, angrily saying, "Hey! You big pervert!"

However, Xiao He could tell that Ye Wanqing quite enjoyed playing around in bed together in the mornings.

After they finished their antics and were wide awake, the two got up, ate breakfast, rested for a while, and then came to school in the afternoon to prepare for class. While they were dealing with the matters concerning the Special Response Department, some changes occurred at the school.

For example, regarding the missing school beauty Zhang Yuxin, this woman disappeared after it was confirmed that her abilities were ineffective against Xiao He. She has vanished not only from the Special Response Department but also from the school itself.

There were many rumors circulating at the school. Some said Zhang Yuxin had been arrested, some said she had found a rich man again, and others said she had gone abroad. Of course, Xiao He didn't actually know where she had gone.

Anyway, Xiao He and Ye Wanqing can relax for a few days now. For Xiao He, life is getting better and better, especially now that Ye Wanqing is willing to take on some of the responsibilities of being his girlfriend and help him with his health issues.

Although it's not quite real intimacy yet, this feeling of growing closer day by day is wonderful. It's like gradually increasing your affection for the heroine in a dating simulation game; it's like leveling up. Anyway, that day will come sooner or later.

As Christmas drew closer, Xiao He and Cui Man finalized their plans: the four of them would visit Old Xie's house to celebrate Christmas with them. Xie Haining's wife was from Chouxiang City, where, for various reasons, people traditionally Christmas, and they had been extended an invitation. The four of them readily accepted.

As the weather grew colder, and given Ye Wanqing's sensitive constitution, she naturally disliked staying outside more and more.

Every day after dinner, the two would go downstairs for a walk and then go home early to warm their beds. Xiao He could enjoy the beautiful figure of his lovely girlfriend, while Ye Wanqing could use him as a constant-temperature hot water bottle—a win-win situation.

"Oh dear, you really are something," Ye Wanqing complained, poking his cheek after Xiao He finally gave in after a passionate encounter. "We've increased it to twice a week now, and you still have so much energy, always keeping me occupied."

"Could it be because I'm a superhuman?" Xiao He asked tentatively, "My physique is superior to that of ordinary people."

"Hmm," Ye Wanqing pouted, "But no more, it's bad for your health."

Ye Wanqing blushed as she spoke, "Unless..." She hesitated for a moment, then covered her face in her hands, "No, I don't think I'm mentally prepared yet!"

"It's alright," Xiao He said with a kiss on the tip of her nose. "I won't force you. It's already very good as it is."

"Um, I'm sorry," Ye Wanqing said pitifully, cupping her face in her hands. "Don't hate me because of this."

"No way!" Xiao He hugged Ye Wanqing tightly and exclaimed, "I love my Little Pufferfish the most! It's so cute!"

This is the truth; Ye Wanqing looks so adorable like this. He loves her just the way she is; this is who she truly is.

"I like you the most too," Ye Wanqing said shyly, burying her face in his chest. Then she looked up at him cautiously. "You promised me, right? You wouldn't hate me because of this?"

"Okay! I promise you." Xiao He patted her head and nodded.

"Hmph." Ye Wanqing smiled, pursed her lips, and kissed him on the cheek. "Shall we watch a show?"

However, the next morning, Xiao He and Ye Wanqing finally learned where Zhang Yuxin had gone.

"Hi." Zhang Yuxin greeted Xiao He with a smile as soon as he boarded the Helicopter heading to the prison.

"Why is she here?" Ye Wanqing asked warily, shielding Xiao He behind her. Cui Man smiled and said, "Don't worry, since her Superpower to Yinglong is ineffective, they won't consider that combination anymore. She's just being sent to the prison to interrogate the Raven brothers. Compared to the ability of the Truth Listener, her Superpower is more suitable for interrogation."

"That's true," Xiao He thought to himself. After all, it was a hypnotic ability, which was much more direct than Xue Ting's Superpower, which could only distinguish between truth and falsehood. Because Xue Ting's biggest flaw was that she was helpless when the other party remained silent.

However, Zhang Yuxin is different. As long as her Superpower works, the other party will obediently follow her orders.

"I'm a full member of the Special Response Department now, codenamed Nine-Tailed Fox." Zhang Yuxin extended her hand to Ye Wanqing and Xiao He with a smile, "Please take care of me from now on, okay?"

"Please take care of me." Ye Wanqing shook hands with her on Xiao He's behalf, appearing calm on the surface but inwardly complaining: What Nine-Tailed Fox? A vixen is more like that! Stay away from my Old Xiao! He's mine!

"Your task is to protect her; leave the rest to her," Cui Man instructed Xiao He.

Xiao He nodded. Actually, if the opponent's abilities couldn't affect him, there was nothing to fear.

He just didn't like Zhang Yuxin; he was never interested in that type of girl. However, on the other hand, the fact that he was going to the prison today made him quite happy: what kind of welcoming ceremony would there be? He was really excited.

"Why are you so happy?" Ye Wanqing asked, clinging to his arm.

"I can go to the prison today; the prisoners there will welcome me," Xiao He explained.

"Hmph," Ye Wanqing glanced at Xiao He, somewhat doubtful, "Is that all?"

"Of course." Xiao He nodded, and Ye Wanqing fell silent.

Upon reaching the top of the prison, Xiao He led Zhang Yuxin inside. Only then did Ye Wanqing approach Cui Man and whisper, "Sister Man, why keep someone like that in the Special Response Department?"

"I know what you're worried about, silly girl," Cui Man comforted her, patting her head. "But, the day her Succubus Whisper don't work on Xiao He, you really have nothing to worry about. He only has eyes for you. You need to have more confidence in yourself. Don't think that just because she's the school beauty, you can't compare to her. You're better than anyone else."

As she spoke, Cui Man glanced at Xiao He entering the prison and smiled, "At least, that's how it is for him."

"Well, okay then," Ye Wanqing stammered, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

"The reason we continued to use her is primarily because she passed the evaluation," Cui Man explained.

"Isn't it possible that she's faking it?" Ye Wanqing asked curiously. Cui Man smiled slightly, "You need to know that our evaluation isn't about getting the highest score the best. A high score would mean she's deliberately faking it. A score between forty and sixty is considered passing. As for the others, I'll evaluate them based on their answers. We'll intersperse some meaningless questions in between, making it very difficult to fake."

"Alright then," Ye Wanqing said, still slightly reluctant, "But what if she gets control of those prisoners?"

"The assessment is secondary; the key is that her abilities are indeed suitable for interrogation," Cui Man replied. "Actually, I didn't completely trust her either, but none of the people in that prison were a match for Xiao He, so I let her contact them. Whether she controlled them or not didn't matter."

At this moment, Xiao He led Zhang Yuxin into the prison. As soon as they entered, he sensed an ambush. Usually, these people would be active on the playground, but today he didn't see a single person.

"Step back." Xiao He raised his hand, gesturing for Zhang Yuxin to move away from him, then laughed loudly, "The weather's so nice today, isn't anyone out for some exercise? Aren't you telling me you've already laid an ambush?"

But still no one answered, and Xiao He began to feel uneasy. However, his Superpower had already begun to activate, and he knew that the enemy should be nearby, within his perception range. Therefore, Xiao He remained calm and simply sat down at the stone table.

"Life here is pretty comfortable," Xiao He sighed and chuckled. Zhang Yuxin, standing beside him, asked somewhat nervously, "Um, is this really alright? Should we go inside and take a look?"

"Shh," Xiao He gestured for her to be quiet, "Are you afraid of dying?"

Zhang Yuxin nervously swallowed and nodded.

"Then stay next to me," Xiao He replied, then crossed his legs and started swinging them comfortably.

Zhang Yuxin looked around fearfully, then sat down opposite Xiao He. About ten minutes passed like this.

"Um, we..." Zhang Yuxin asked tentatively, but just then, the ground next to Xiao He suddenly exploded, but strangely, although an explosion occurred, it made no sound.

"Sigh, so unoriginal." Xiao He sighed, lowering his right hand. "Don't always try to use flashbangs to restrain me. Even if I'm not a Saint Seiya, I won't fall for it every time."

He used the "Silence" ability to mute the explosions of the flashbangs, rendering them harmless without a sound.

But the next moment, two figures jumped out from the shadows of the tables and chairs next to Xiao He.

Xiao He turned his head and saw that the two men were Oliver and Ivan, but their target was not Xiao He. Instead, they were aiming at Zhang Yuxin behind Xiao He. Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuxin screamed and fell to the ground.

Forced Mediation! Xiao He activated his domain, and the two men's fists struck Zhang Yuxin, but stopped before they could touch her. The two men immediately realized that Xiao He had used his Forced Mediation Domain and retreated, creating distance between them.

Beneath the ground, two stone pillars rose from beneath Xiao He and Zhang Yuxin respectively, pushing them back in opposite directions.

"Oh? This time the tactics are quite clear," Xiao He thought to himself with interest.

The prisoners' target this time wasn't actually him, but the people he brought. They probably wanted to use Zhang Yuxin to threaten him into submission. This line of thinking was actually correct, because Xiao He's Forced Mediation Domain was centered on himself. Although violence couldn't be used within this domain, he could separate two people, thus allowing him to attack the other one.

Of course, this is only for the skill "Forced Mediation Domain".

Xiao He has many other skills, and Xiao He can restrain anyone present at the moment.

So Xiao He simply raised his hand, and the two stone pillars that were separating them immediately stopped, returning Zhang Yuxin to Xiao He's side. This was because Xiao He's "Inorganic Matter Control" had a higher priority than "Rock Control." Zhang Yuxin landed beside Xiao He, looking completely shaken.

"Aren't the others going to show their faces?" Xiao He asked Oliver and Ivan with interest.

"The two of us are enough," Oliver grinned, Ivan got into position as well.

Xiao He suddenly became curious: How did these two people regain their confidence so completely after only a few days apart?

"Didn't you say you had to knock us down three more times?" Ivan said through gritted teeth. "Come on! Knock us down three times, and my brother and I will agree to cooperate with you. We mean it!"

"Alright." Xiao He grinned, then released the Forced Mediation Domain around him, gesturing for Zhang Yuxin to stand behind him.

Oliver then attacked Xiao He first, throwing a straight punch at Xiao He's face. Xiao He raised his left hand to defend, and an unusual impact came. Xiao He felt a strong throbbing pain in the place where his arm had been hit.

Xiao He couldn't help but take a step back, covering the spot where he had been hit.

Because of his recent good performance, Qin Weize's evaluation level has been raised, so Qin Weize went to receive training today instead of being in prison. Xiao He has also lost the effect of "Kinetic Energy Absorption".

But that doesn't really matter, because the Superpower enough to defeat them. The reason this punch hurt Xiao He a little is because Oliver and Ivan's physiques are much stronger than last time.

"You two," Xiao He turned to the two men in front of him, smiling with interest, "Plunder the power of everyone else in the prison, right? How did you manage to circumvent the binding force of the Bixi's Oathmark?"

Before Xiao He arrived, these two had already Plunder the power of other prisoners by attacking them or having other prisoners attack them. Now, they are either completely Plunder the power of others, or they have reached their Plunder limit.

However, Chen Ting's Oathmark actually restricted prisoners from attacking each other; prisoners could attack "Yinglong," but they could not attack each other.

"Even a playful slap can trigger our Superpower," Ivan sneered, approaching Xiao He from his right.

"Today I'll shatter your undefeated myth, Yinglong!" Oliver roared, approaching Xiao He from the left. The two brothers worked in perfect harmony, flanking him from both directions simultaneously. Xiao He raised his hand towards Oliver, and an unseen force grabbed him.

Then Xiao He clenched his fist, and his powerful Psychokinesis rapidly compressed, causing pressure to impact Oliver from all directions.

"Ugh!" Oliver screamed, as if he had been thrown into a compressor, where he was squeezed into a rectangular shape, vomited a mouthful of blood, and then lost consciousness.

Ivan was stunned for a moment, then cursed angrily and rushed in front of Xiao He, throwing a punch.

But Xiao He did it on purpose, eliminating one of the two men to make it easier for him to face them one-on-one. This way, he could learn some experience from the confrontation and put into practice the skills he had learned from the brothers.

"Come on, let's make up for the three knockdowns you didn't get last time," Xiao He said with a smile, slightly turning his body to avoid Ivan's punches, then raising his hand and gently pushing Ivan's arm with his forearm.

Ivan's punch thus veered off course and passed right by Xiao He.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao He reached out his right hand and pushed Ivan's chin, while simultaneously lifting his foot and placing it behind Ivan's ankle, shoving him to the ground, causing a large dent in the ground.
