"You met him today?"

Jiang Chengcheng was quite philosophical about it, saying, "He won't change even if you tell him."

"Those who truly understand me are Chengcheng."

Xu Shi laughed and leaned over to give her a kiss.

"But there's something I need you to explain."

Jiang Chengcheng feigned reluctance, asking, "Is there a hierarchy between us? If so, who is older and who is younger?"

Xu Shi may have been unintentional when she introduced it, but she did seem to care about this issue.

Looking up, Xia Wuyou also had an expectant look on her face, clearly very interested in it.

"Well... it's not up to me to decide who's older or younger."

Xu Shi blinked, then spread his hands helplessly and said, "This is a question you guys can decide, okay?"

Xia Wuyou: ?

Jiang Chengcheng: ?

The two women were taken aback for a moment, then realized that this guy was talking dirty again. The size he was talking about was different from the size they were talking about... The lecherous look in the bad man's eyes had already given him away.

However, Xu Shi's attitude towards this is indeed like this. Does he really have to distinguish between big and small? You women are so troublesome.

Anyway, he doesn't care. If you really want to rank them, then rank them by age.

Oh, in that case, Sister Su Lin is still number one...

After he stirred things up, the girls got tired of discussing it further, each pinching him on the waist, and that was the end of it.

"My God, you're trying to murder your husband, aren't you?"

Xu Shi said irritably, "If you have nothing else to do, go and rest. You've been busy all day and you're exhausted."

After all, there was a battle just now. How could a weak man like him, who can't even kill a chicken, possibly withstand it? (doge)

"Speaking of which, you did a great job just now."

These words prompted Xia Wuyou to remark, "When that swordfish charged at us, your reaction was even faster than mine."

It wasn't that she was slow to realize it; even if her attention was focused on controlling Shen Qin, she could still multitask quite well. It was just that Xu Shi was faster, which made her seem a bit inferior.

She hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but now that she thought about it, wasn't this a bit unusual? Xu Shi wasn't a combatant, yet his reaction speed was stronger than hers, a battle-hardened field operations supervisor?

"What's the use of a fast reaction time? If you can't beat me, you still can't beat me."

Xu Shi smiled. In fact, he had also noticed that this should be a sign that his abilities had improved.

He's not a combatant, but getting so many girls to complete the closed loop has brought significant feedback. Don't forget, he's already a + level "Upgraded One".

Moreover, his ability improvement has always been focused on mental strength. When he first entered the realm of spiritual power, he was able to accurately locate Lin Yue's hidden position. Now, he is naturally even stronger, and it is not impossible for him to react faster than Xia Wuyou.

Especially after transplanting Chen He's superpower, this advantage has been further amplified. It's clear that Xie Qingyan's statement was correct; the success was indeed achieved, but the original ability was not manifested due to special reasons.

But that's about it. In terms of overall strength, he can't really claim to be better than Fighting-types... If he didn't have "Jade Capital" with him, what use would it have been if he reacted to the Swordfish's sneak attack? Would he have stood in front of Curly Hair and gotten sniped twice?

"You know that too?"

When the topic came up, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but scold him a bit, "If you know you're not good at fighting, then don't do such dangerous things."

"Dad doesn't want to just hide behind others, does he?"

Xia Ke'an hit the nail on the head: it's just male chauvinism, isn't it? He's always just behind the scenes giving advice, and he probably isn't happy about it himself.

Xu Shi sighed, remaining noncommittal.

"...But we can't just do it blindly, can we?"

Xia Wuyou sighed, "If you really want to, I can give you some special training to enhance your combat skills, so you'll be more confident."

She might not really need Xu Shi to fight alongside her, but his attitude warmed her heart.

It's a good thing that her man is willing to stand in front of her and protect her. Hmm, I like him even more now...

"I think it's okay."

Xu Shi nodded. Although it was a bit like locking the barn door after the horse had bolted, it wasn't too late. He should have looked for Su Lin a few years earlier...

"But that's for tomorrow. Let's go back and get some rest first."

"OK."

"So what are you still doing here?"

"What do you mean, 'do'?"

Jiang Chengcheng smiled slightly, "Some people say to others that we are your wives. If we are wives, is it reasonable for us to sleep in separate rooms from our husbands? Outsiders will say that our family is not harmonious."

She gets into character very quickly.

Xia Wuyou understood perfectly. She wouldn't mind sharing a bed with Xu Shi, even if it meant sleeping with Jiang Chengcheng. They'd even done it with four people before, let alone three...

She even skillfully circled behind Jiang Chengcheng, mischievously ruffled her hair a couple of times, and teased, "According to some people, you really should be the older sister?"

"Then my sister will stay here and watch over things tonight, right?"

Jiang Chengcheng was not to be outdone, and the two started bickering.

"...One day I'll die on you all."

Xu Shi sighed and facepalmed. "Jiang Chengcheng, didn't you already... you know... earlier? You're such a fangirl..."

Fortunately, he has always been a person of great principle and is willing to endure hardships that others cannot, so he may find joy in the pain.

However, just as he was about to die a heroic death, he suddenly noticed Xia Ke'an sitting in the corner, pretending to cover her eyes.

Xiao Ke'an is a good child, she didn't mean to peek.

"...What time is it? Why isn't this brat asleep yet? Someone, please teach her a lesson!"
