The monitoring staff encountered such an event for the first time. âWhat-What do we do now?â
âIt could be a false alarm, but it might also indicate the emergence of a new class S evolved being,â the young man murmured, biting his lip. âThis matter requires Miss Ogygiaâs personal investigation in the Muston Dukedom.â
However, if it indeed was a class S evolved being, even Ogygia might find the situation challenging to handle.
Meanwhile, in the woods by the river, Meng Xue had passed out.
After releasing her power, Si Fuqing slowly crouched down, starting to act like a plant.
Yuejian, who arrived on the scene, sighed in relief.
A quiet little junior sister was preferable to a rampaging one.
But how to bring her back remained an issue.
If anyone approached, Si Fuqing would continue to rampage.
After pondering for a moment, Yuejian decided to call her handsome boss, whose face she couldnât remember.
But someone elseâs steady footsteps approached first.
A man moved forward and lifted the girl crouched on the ground.
Si Fuqing mumbled, âToday Iâm corn, sweet corn!â
Yuejian: â
Sheâs even changing her act.
Yu Xiheng approached the unconscious Meng Xue and asked without looking,
âWho is this?â
âShe was the little⦠Little Qingqingâs former girl group captain, often belittling her,â Yuejian said with a murderous glance. âShe must have heard me and Sister Sang discussing Qingqingâs alcohol allergy and swapped her drink.â
If Si Fuqing truly had an alcohol allergy, a single drink could indeed have been fatal.
Meng Xue clearly intended to kill Si Fuqing.
Unfortunately, Si Fuqing was not allergic to alcohol.
Yu Xiheng looked thoughtfully at Yuejian, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, and calmly stated, âIâll take her back.â Yuejian nodded, âIâll handle things here.â
Yu Xiheng left with Si Fuqing.
Yuejian crossed her arms, glancing at Meng Xue lying on the ground, life and death unknown.
What did her littlejunior sisters boss look like again?
Forgot again.
But she was quite curious about her little junior sisterâs boss.
He managed to prevent her little junior sister from rampaging.
âHello? Is this the hospital?â Yuejian slowly took out her phone and dialed emergency services. âI found someone passed out during my night run. You better come quickly, or sheâll die.â
âOh, and just a heads up, sheâs from the Great Xia Empire. If she dies in the
Muston Dukedom, youâll have your hands full.â
When not on a mission, she was a law-abiding citizen.
Death would be too easy for this woman.
On his side, Yu Xiheng walked along the river, carrying her as he had done before, with steady steps.
Moonlight scattered, casting shimmering reflections on the Seine River, which led directly to the West Sea.
It was said that the West Sea harbored sirens that could enchant the hearts of men, requiring sailors to wear earplugs when crossing these waters.
A song could be heard in the distance, the night serene.
Si Fuqing extended her hand, poking the manâs back occasionally.
After a while, Yu Xiheng spoke up, âWhat do you like?â
âFried chicken,â Si Fuqing suddenly perked up, raising her hand.
âFried chicken with Coke on the side, In lifeâs great joys, we confide.
A match so perfect, itâs hard to revoke,
The bliss of crunch and sip, no joke..â
Yu Xiheng lowered his gaze.
Even drunk, she knew to rhyme.
âI didnât mean that,â he said calmly. âDo you like someone?â
âPeople?â Si Fuqingâs head bobbed, âI like Tangtang, like Yueyue, like Sister Sang, Little Feng San is quite silly tooâ¦â
Yu Xiheng patiently listened for a long time. Finally, he stopped, slightly turned his head to meet her eyes. âWho am I?â Si Fuqing looked at him, her gaze becoming hazy.
Her fox-like eyes seemed to hold the stars and moon, their reflections shimmering.
It felt like a feather had touched his heart, causing a slight itch.
Yu Xiheng could hardly bear her gaze, freeing a hand to cover her eyes, softly asking, âDonât recognize me anymore?â
Si Fuqing slowly reacted, her eyes brightening, âI know, my biggest sponsor! Mine!â
After speaking, she snuggled into his shoulder nook, her voice sounding pitiful, âIâm so tired, I want to sleep.â
Yu Xiheng sighed, changing his hold on her to tuck her head against his chest, âSleep then.â
Fine.
Well, at least she recognized me as a sponsor.
It was a step forward, after all.
Yuejianâs call had the hospital in a panic, and an ambulance quickly took Meng Xue to the hospital.
Feng San arrived as well.
He wondered whether to add to her troubles when he heard the doctor frown at the freshly taken X-rays, âThis injury could be severe, or could be not too serious, depending how you look at it..â
