When Qi Xiao heard Xia Yuwan's voice, his heart sank.
Everything on me was clearly checked by Kong You, so how did she get here? Did she miss something?
Qi Xiao turned around, and Xia Yuwan tilted her head, her smile bright.
Her JK skirt, white stockings, and twin pigtails were gone; now she wore the same fitted black uniform and long boots as the Sword Man, and a black wide-brimmed hat.
Most striking was the silver hat badge, resembling the gates of Order Heavenly Kingdom with a small figure standing beneath, holding a book.
She looked very capable.
Looking at her sparkling big eyes, Qi Xiao recalled the scene where she gave him artificial respiration.
Did she leave some hidden move at that time?
"Woof woof woof woof woof woof!"
The Black Wind Monster, sensing a stranger's aura, ran to protect him, but Xia Yuwan picked it up and held it in her arms.
"Wow, so cute!"
Xia Yuwan stroked the dog's head while playing with its little paws.
"Xiao Ge is so loving, he even has a little dog. What's its name?"
"Black Wind Monster."
Qi Xiao replied.
"So it's called Black Wind Monster, the name is really Xiao Ge's style."
Xia Yuwan, holding the Black Wind Monster, walked into the gravity carriage and came to Qi Xiao's side.
Looking at the puppet Qi Xiao was riding, Xia Yuwan clicked her tongue:
"Xiao Ge, so you like to play with things that don't move..."
Triple gravity, yet she ignored it?
The Black Wind Monster didn't react either; does she have something on her that can overcome gravity?
"What's wrong with not moving? It's fine as long as I move."
Qi Xiao rolled his eyes at her, helped up the puppet, and then adjusted the carriage gravity back to normal.
"Didn't we agree to meet again in the New World? You missed me so soon?"
"Of course, I have something to find Xiao Ge about."
Xia Yuwan put down the Black Wind Monster, pulled a note from her pants pocket, and read it with a serious expression:
"Cough, cough. Qi Xiao, I apologize for my rashness today, I'm sorry!"
"This is my first mission, and I was a bit too eager, only thinking of myself and not considering your feelings. I sincerely apologize again."
"But I really need that silver coin. I hope you can give it to me, and I will repay you handsomely then."
"P.S.: Next time we meet, I'll treat you to the best ramen as an apology."
"Bu Zhihuo Mao, left."
After reading, Xia Yuwan put away the note.
Qi Xiao listened, his mouth twitching.
"Bu Zhihuo Mao? Is that guy from Sakura Country? His Mandarin is so fluent?"
"Because Mandarin is the official language of the New World!"
Xia Yuwan said proudly.
"That note was made up by you, right?"
Qi Xiao snorted coldly:
"I don't believe he could say something like that."
"Really, Xiao Ge, to express his apology, he also asked me to bring you this."
"Bu Zhihuo Mao killed that monster, and this was recovered from that monster's hand."
Seeing what Xia Yuwan pulled out, Qi Xiao froze for a second.
Ren Laotaiye!?
That's right, it was Ren Laotaiye, because that feeling of connection in his mind returned.
Qi Xiao checked him all over, and there were no missing limbs.
Qi Xiao hugged Ren Laotaiye and started crying, sobbing.
This feeling of recovering something lost was truly moving.
He actually killed that monster in Happiness Community and retrieved Ren Laotaiye, yet he couldn't defeat Kong You?
Just how strong is Kong You?
Also, this Xia Yuwan appears and disappears like a ghost; my home has become her backyard.
Qi Xiao glanced out of the corner of his eye at the seemingly harmless Xia Yuwan; this woman is also very dangerous.
With someone like this, he couldn't sleep soundly at night.
Qi Xiao wiped away fake tears, turned and stepped forward, grasping Xia Yuwan's hand:
"Comrade, thank you so much. You don't know how I've lived without Laotaiye. I've thought of him day and night."
"But that silver coin..."
"You used it?"
"Yes, I was browsing the chat room and playing at the same time, and then something popped up about activation, so I clicked it..."
"After clicking activate, the silver coin disappeared. Even if he wants it, I can't help him now..."
After listening, Xia Yuwan smiled brightly:
"It's fine, that silver coin was obtained by Xiao Ge with his own ability anyway; it originally belonged to you."
"It's fine if it's used up."
"What's that thing for? After activating it, I still haven't figured out what it's for."
"To be honest, I don't know either."
Qi Xiao: ......
"Oh, right, after I left, she didn't do anything to you, did she?"
"Don't even mention it, you guys ran off, and I suffered terribly!"
"She pinned me to the ground and interrogated me about where the silver coin was."
"I swore I wouldn't comply, insisting I had no silver coin."
"She still didn't believe me, stripped off my clothes, and then burned them all."
"My innocence!"
The more Qi Xiao spoke, the more agitated he became, his voice choked with tears, expressing genuine emotion.
Xia Yuwan's eyes were glistening, and he couldn't tell if she was truly moved by Qi Xiao.
"It's okay, Xiao Ge, as long as you can see her true colors. I was just afraid you'd be bewitched by her."
"She's a Wanted Criminal who kills without batting an eye."
"Wait, then why didn't she kill me?"
"Could it be because I'm handsome?"
Xia Yuwan: ......
"No? Then, because I'm kind?"
"No, it's because she didn't see your Train."
Xia Yuwan explained:
"She's a lunatic with her own set of theories."
"She has a pathological obsession with Train colors; she believes that people whose Trains are black are all bad people."
"So, as long as it's a black Train, no matter who is inside, she will kill them."
"She even keeps saying this is justice."
"To this day, there's no telling how many people have died by her hand."
Xia Yuwan clenched her small fists, saying with utmost seriousness:
"This perverted serial killer, we will catch her sooner or later and send her to Order's Tribunal!"
Combining Xia Yuwan's words, Qi Xiao recalled the various details of his interactions with Kong You and couldn't help but gasp.
Qi Xiao patted his chest, relieved:
"That's good then, my Train isn't black."
"So, you really are from the official organization of the New World."
Xia Yuwan adjusted her hat, extremely serious:
"Of course, humanity cannot exist without Order, and that is why we exist."
"All those who violate Order must be punished!"
Xia Yuwan pulled out another badge from her pants pocket and handed it to Qi Xiao.
"Xiao Ge, when you arrive in the New World, show this and say you are from the Order Heavenly Kingdom, and someone will come to pick you up."
Qi Xiao took the badge; the pattern on it was the same as Xia Yuwan's hat badge.
"So, I'm joining the organization now?"
"If Xiao Ge is willing, any time!"
"Then I must join!"
Qi Xiao accepted the badge and asked:
"How's the treatment in our organization? What benefits are there, how many insurances and funds? Are there bonuses for good performance? Do we have weekends off? What day of the month is payday? What about promotion channels? Are you my direct superior? Are there many girls in the organization? Is it easy to find a partner?"
"Uh..."
Xia Yuwan was bewildered by the questions:
"It's getting late, I'll head back now. Xiao Ge, let's meet again in the New World!"
Xia Yuwan playfully winked at Qi Xiao, and her figure disappeared.
This time, nothing fell to the ground.
