We're Allies, Don't Hit Me by Mistake

Wait, how much?

This guy's income was several times more than five people's combined?

Xin Lan looked down at the zeros in her wristband balance and suddenly found herself unable to count.

Could someone please help her figure out how much she'd have if she accepted Mo Yilai? Waiting online, pretty urgent.

Sure enough, people were especially prone to losing their minds when they suddenly struck it rich.

Xin Lan suddenly found Mo Yilai much easier on the eyes, and the more she looked at him, the more he suited her taste.

Perhaps her gaze was too direct. A blush rose on Mo Yilai's face, and he flinched, but he quickly mustered his courage and leaned close again, carefully resting his forehead against her shoulder.

"A-Lan, let's add each other's Star Network numbers first. I'll transfer all my assets to you, and I'll remove the iris authentication from the Free Alliance's accounts and hand them over too. It'll be quick; I can have it all done in a little while."

Seeing that Xin Lan had no intention of pushing him away, Mo Yilai showed a flicker of delight.

He knew it. A-Lan definitely wouldn't think much of Mo Xiao and the others' assets.

How could the little bit of money those few had between them be enough for a top-tier guide like her to spend?

It didn't suit her status at all!

A-Lan deserved all the most expensive things in the world!

Soon, at Mo Yilai's eager insistence, Xin Lan successfully acquired all the assets of both the Free Alliance and Mo Yilai.

And she went from being an ordinary, relatively rare high-level guide to the leader of the Free Alliance, an organization that gave everyone in the Federation and K9 District headaches and made them sick.

It was such an easy transfer of power that it was almost funny.

Xin Lan silently watched him take care of everything without hesitation, then sneakily change his contact name on her wristband to Baby Yilai. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

"I'm not calling you that."

Even after accepting his money and power, Xin Lan remained cold and merciless.

Those words, blunt as a sharp blade, stabbed the overjoyed Mo Yilai right in the heart.

But his heartache lasted only a moment before he recovered.

"It's all right. I know that's not like you, A-Lan. You can call me whatever you want. I just need to be a tiny bit more special to you than the others, and that's enough."

"After all, because of who I am, I can't stay by your side and protect you all the time like the others. I always have so many fewer chances to spend time with you..."

Mo Yilai put on a pitiful, fragile act with his words, but inwardly, he sneered over and over.

This is hilarious. Mo Xiao and the other four don't even have contact names on A-Lan's wristband. They're all listed under their real names, and aside from Mo Xiao, the others don't even have any chat history with her!

Pathetic!

And they were so lucky, too. They got matched with A-Lan as soon as she registered yesterday.

If I'd been able to take part in the matching, I'd have become A-Lan's first exclusive sentinel ages ago.

Of course, I still have a good chance of becoming her first exclusive sentinel now!

Because I can smell it: A-Lan hasn't physically linked with any sentinel!

The thought made Mo Yilai tremble uncontrollably with excitement, but his Mental Landscape, which had just been attacked, also began to riot. He could clearly feel his riot level shooting up again.

When Xin Lan had attacked his Mental Landscape earlier, she had considered killing him. Not only had she left it unpurified, she had also gone on a rampage in there purely to wreak havoc.

So when his expression changed, she immediately guessed that his riot level had risen.

"Be good and wait a moment. I'll purify your Mental Landscape first and make your Spirit Body go back where it belongs."

Xin Lan patted his face. For once, she gave a gentle warning before entering someone else's Mental Landscape.

Mo Yilai was also overwhelmed by the unexpected kindness and hurriedly recalled his Spirit Body into his Mental Landscape.

Soon, a surge of mental power even stronger than he had imagined charged into his Mental Landscape.

Xin Lan had long known that his Spirit Body was a soul form, and she had prepared herself mentally before going in.

But when she actually saw that the place was a mass of chaos without the slightest glimmer of light, she still felt a little physically uncomfortable.

"A-Lan... be careful. Don't get hurt..."

Mo Yilai's voice came from deep within her mind. Xin Lan realized that this might be his soul form speaking to her inside his Mental Landscape, but she still couldn't see anything.

The eerie surroundings, full of unknowns, irritated her greatly. So, as usual, she used her mental power in a sweeping assault, wrapping it around everything she could to purify it.

But there seemed to be more than just Mo Yilai's soul form in this chaos. There were also many invisible vortices.

Whenever her mental power wrapped around something to purify it, an invisible vortex immediately sucked it away, rendering it useless.

After trying several times without success, Xin Lan grew thoroughly irritated.

She released her deep-blue vine, which immediately split into countless thick, long, giant vines that rampaged through the chaos.

Sure enough, the vortices here had no awareness and sucked up everything.

They sucked in the vines, but unlike mental power, the vines couldn't be absorbed directly. They soon emerged from the other end.

In the blink of an eye, Xin Lan's view was no longer filled with chaos. Instead, black vortices were everywhere, strung together by the vines and forced to reveal themselves.

The vortices could do nothing to the vines. Xin Lan had intended to clear them all away, but remembering that wrapping her mental power around them was useless and would only get it absorbed, she angrily decided to have the vines destroy them all.

"Ugh..."

This method of purification was far too brutal. Mo Yilai felt as though something had taken out his entire brain and given it a vicious stir. He immediately clutched his head and curled up on the ground in pain.

He wanted to tell Xin Lan that this was useless, that no matter how small the vortices became, they would always come back.

But the next second, he saw Xin Lan's vines swell at a visible rate. Once they had grown too big for the vortices to suck them in, they immediately began wiping the vortices out.

The overwhelmingly one-sided operation was extremely efficient. The vortices couldn't withstand the vines' attacks at all. Every last one shattered and vanished without a trace.

That was so decisive.

Amazing!

In an instant, Mo Yilai felt so exhilarated that he wanted to throw back his head and howl. His Spirit Body and soul both began trembling wildly because his Mental Landscape had been purified so thoroughly.

And that wasn't the end of it. Xin Lan's vines not only wiped out the vortices, they also wrapped around his Spirit Body, which was hiding here and there in his Mental Landscape, treating it as something bad.

"Hiss!"

The smile had yet to fade from Mo Yilai's face when he cried out in pain, immediately falling to the ground and curling into a ball.

"A-Lan... we're allies. Don't hit me by mistake..."

Hearing his cry, Xin Lan finally calmed her anger and withdrew the vines.

Still, she didn't want to purify this Mental Landscape anymore.

She withdrew from the Mental Landscape and saw Mo Yilai curled up on the ground, looking pitiful. She couldn't help teasing him.

"Do you need resuscitating?"

Mo Yilai pouted and nodded furiously. "Yes, yes! A-Lan, I really think I can still be resuscitated. Please, please."
