Chapter 170
He naturally understood why Su Yitong had such an almost pathological possessiveness. It was because, throughout her life, she had lost far too many things that rightfully belonged to her, leading her to despise anyone who dared to take from her. Even if, in the end, Yu Xunhuan had helped her avoid a disaster, Su Yitong would never feel grateful or forgive him for his betrayal.
He couldn't even imagine how loud Su Yitong must be laughing at that moment...
—“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!”
After returning home, Su Yitong didn’t rush to Su Langfeng’s study. Instead, she closed the door and laughed alone in her bedroom for five minutes.
What could be funnier than her husband betraying her one moment and then facing retribution the next?
There was something even better.
Not only did he face retribution, but he also inadvertently helped her avert a disaster.
And the news of the Jiao Long betraying his wife was something she had sent out through her own channels.
Although Yu Xunhuan had indeed shielded her from disaster, that didn’t mean Su Yitong would forgive his betrayal. Her generosity was reserved solely for herself.
If it weren’t for not wanting to offend Yu Xunge, Su Yitong could have been much harsher; it was just that, at this stage, she couldn’t act openly.
Thinking of Yu Xunge, Su Yitong decided she would pay her a visit another day.
She had been investigating Yu Xunge for a long time; she understood this person well. She was not the kind of sister who had lost her mind over her brother. She wouldn’t neglect her own life just to support him, nor would she lose her reason and sense of right and wrong for his sake.
As long as she didn’t take the initiative against Yu Xunge, the most Yu Xunge would do was protect Yu Xunhuan when he was in danger. But she would never take the initiative to deal with Su Yitong.
After all, in the Jiao Long incident, Su Yitong was the one who had been betrayed.
If it hadn’t been for the situation turning sour and Yu Xunhuan reaping what he sowed, she believed Yu Xunge would have even been willing to compensate her for her brother’s shameless actions.
Yu Xunge was a person of utmost integrity!
Moreover, Su Yitong secretly harbored a thought: as long as she maintained a good relationship with Yu Xunge, she could ask for her help whenever the Su family faced difficulties. If they fell out, she wouldn’t even have the right to make such requests.
After witnessing Yu Xunge use the power of Tu Lan to shoot down 7% of Hei Fei’s health in one shot, Yu Xunge’s identity was no longer just Yu Xunhuan’s sister.
This was an incredibly valuable connection.
She could guess that using Tu Lan’s power must come with significant side effects, but what if she was willing to offer more in exchange for the Holy Song?
Not just her; she believed even the Special Affairs Bureau would reassess Yu Xunge’s strategic importance.
After all, Tu Lan’s last words were almost a declaration that she would help Yu Xunge.
...
On the side of the Special Affairs Bureau, after watching Tu Lan and Yu Xunge enter S City, Zhao Shuying and the others wrapped up their work. They had collected all the Jiao Long blood from the instance, and this matter came to a close.
However, before they could even get off the helicopter, a phone call summoned them back for a meeting.
Zhao Shuying immediately declared she didn’t want to do this anymore! She wanted to be a lone wolf!
Five minutes later, she received a bonus for the Hei Fei incident and the Tu Lan incident—an E-grade skill book.
It also came with ten bottles of intermediate energy potions.
Zhao Shuying had tried the intermediate energy potions before; after drinking one, it felt like she had just woken up after sleeping for three days and nights, and she was utterly tired of sleep, wanting to work immediately for another three days and nights!!
The email read:
You are the backbone of the Special Affairs Bureau, the lifeblood of the Bureau. The Bureau cannot do without you. If you clock in one hour less in a day, I’ll be anxious.
—Li Changying
Zhao Shuying: ...
She typed this out and sent it to the group chat titled “We Are the Best Donkeys of the Special Affairs Bureau” (17 members).
“I got the same message.”
“Even the punctuation is identical.”
“Missing an hour of clock-in time doesn’t qualify you to be a donkey of the Special Affairs Bureau.”
“Li Lao is still so emotionally intelligent… With words like these, I could keep the Bureau running for another ten years.”
“You’re easy to please.”
“Besides the rewards, there are also ten bottles of energy potions.”
“Same here… I got the same! Besides the rewards, there are also ten bottles of energy potions.”
“Are these energy potions just for me, or do other donkeys get them too? Oh, turns out other donkeys do too.”
“Another day of donkeys envying the lone wolf.”
“...Bro, I’m not a donkey.”
“Xiao Zhao, this irritating group name that leaves donkeys unable to retort is all your doing.”
“Hahaha… Totally forgot, damn!”
【Chapter 220 【Fifty Thousand】】
After Yu Xunge and Tu Lan entered the S City area, they quickly landed and went invisible, taking a small detour before quietly returning to their villa.
However, as soon as Yu Xunge entered the house, she received a notification from the 【Shielding Water Screen】: someone had entered her territory without permission!
Since she had activated the 【Shielding Water Screen】, she hadn’t granted anyone access. Even if Yu Qingshan or Yi Qiu came, they would be marked as intruders.
Now, a red dot appeared on the map in her backyard, and it started moving outward just as she entered the house!
Yu Xunge immediately pressed her hand against the tattoo on her chest and stowed away the cat nest—she could clearly feel that the cat nest had been pulled from another dimension.
This discovery made Yu Xunge’s heart sink. She dashed toward the backyard, even using 【I’m in a Hurry】. There were many players in the Jiao Long group who could teleport instantly; such distance-limited teleportation skills had become less rare over time, at least no longer unique. Even if someone on the rooftop happened to see it, it wouldn’t matter.
But that “person” was incredibly fast. By the time Yu Xunge reached the backyard, he had already fled, and she vaguely saw a white tail with only the tip being black.
A fox tail?
A moon fox?!
Yu Xunge quickly opened the map, where a red dot was running toward the outskirts of the villa area, and the 【Shielding Water Screen】 had already marked the intruder.
She pointed in the direction the moon fox had fled and said to Tu Lan, “That way, chase!”
Tu Lan immediately flew off.
This was outdoors, and Yu Xunge had just entered the house before rushing out, so she couldn’t disguise herself safely. Therefore, she couldn’t run at full speed, relying on her high agility to catch up, nor could she expose her Phantom Shift. She could only use 【I’m in a Hurry】.
The moon fox was also quite fast, but fortunately, Tu Lan was there. At full speed, Tu Lan could fly faster than even Yu Xunge, and soon, under her direction, he intercepted the “person.”
Following closely, Yu Xunge blocked the intruder’s escape route, and she soon realized that not only was he a moon fox, but he was also of royal lineage!
She immediately used her detection skill.
【Wu Xi】 Level 12
【Divine Gift Talent】 I Need to Start Thinking (C-grade)
A moon fox from the Wu Wei clan?! The name is silver, indicating an elite-level alien.
Yu Xunge’s heart tightened. Her first reaction was that Wu Ren had discovered her. But she quickly dismissed that possibility.
Even if the twelve alien races had their own long-distance communication methods, it wouldn’t be possible for them to find her so quickly. Moreover, even if Wu Ren had sent someone to find her, wouldn’t the first reaction be to kill her or capture her alive? Why run away?
Yu Xunge decided to bluff him: “Did you take my things?”
Wu Xi slightly turned sideways, trying to avoid exposing his back to either Tu Lan or Yu Xunge. Even though Tu Lan looked tiny at the moment, he knew that there was only one dragon from the dragon race that had descended to Blue Star, and that was the youngest one!
He couldn’t fight this dragon, nor did he dare to: “I can return your things, but you have to let me go. I come from the moon fox clan, Wu Wei clan, and have received the blessing of the Moon Emperor Wu Ren. If you kill me, you will face the wrath of the moon fox clan.”
What Yu Xunge cared about most wasn’t the contents of the cat nest, but the cat nest itself. When she took it, she had clearly felt it being pulled from another space, indicating that this moon fox had already recognized the value of the cat nest and had taken it.
Even without that reason, she couldn’t allow a level 12 alien to roam freely on Blue Star!
As for the moon fox clan’s wrath?
If she let him go now, once the cat nest incident got out, she might face a double threat from both Blue Star and Ze Lan.
So what if he was a dragon? When the stakes were high enough, Tu Lan wouldn’t just scare off greedy individuals; he would become another temptation.
As she spent more time nurturing the cats in her backyard, she could clearly feel that the quality of the items appearing in the cat nest was getting higher!
At this point, the true value of the cat nest was just beginning to reveal itself.
Yu Xunge: “There are countless moon foxes that have descended to Blue Star. If every moon fox said what you just said, wouldn’t your clan be unable to kill anyone?”
After saying that, Yu Xunge silently instructed Tu Lan: “Kill him.”
Wu Xi sensed the killing intent in Yu Xunge’s eyes and hurriedly explained, “But if you kill me, you might not be able to get that thing back!”
Yu Xunge smirked coldly. With the cat nest in her possession, over time, what level of item could she not obtain?
Besides, no matter how important the items and equipment were, they couldn’t compare to her safety.
Wu Xi read the expression on Yu Xunge’s face: “Is it a part of an SSS-level item?!”
Yu Xunge retracted her smirk: Occasionally, yes.
She clasped her hands behind her back and took out the skill crystal for 【We’re Not Familiar, But That’s Okay】, crushing it without hesitation.
Yu Xunge asked, “What SSS-level item? I’ve never heard of such a level of item.”
