"So, it's not just you and Manager Gu, Governor Tang and Miss Lin are here too?"

Having finished the battle at the dock, Ye Shanshan naturally knew what had happened and blinked as she asked Su Lin.

"yes."

Su Lin nodded expressionlessly, clearly a little unhappy.

Of course she was unhappy. Why did they all have to come?!

Gu Yi is one thing, but the little rabbit calls Su "Sister Su" more affectionately than anyone else, and she's incredibly obedient. Living under the same roof for a long time shouldn't be a problem.

But let's skip the other two!

The reason is simple: both Tang Shuang and Lin Yue were stumbling blocks for her to express her feelings to Xu Shi. The two of them were still one after the other. Even if Director Su was very tolerant, she still felt a bit awkward thinking about it.

But thinking about it the other way around, without their provocation, I probably wouldn't have confronted the young master so quickly... It's just a very subtle situation.

Well, to look on the bright side, she knew that Tang Shuang was one of the few people who had a relatively clean relationship with Xu Shi, and thinking about that made her feel much better.

As for Lin Yue? I've seen her character all along. Even during the time she stayed in Night City of Sin, the little assassin sister still treated her with the same respect.

"Can the two of them handle things at the church?"

Little Curly didn't really think that much about it. She wasn't that close to the two of them. In comparison, she was much closer to the two sisters, Maple and Ling... She was more concerned about the situation on the other side.

"Well... there's nothing to worry about, right?"

Thinking about their progress over this period, Su Lin waved her hand dismissively.

As I said before, while people may stay behind, everyone continues to move forward, and various medical devices and pharmaceuticals are constantly being updated and iterated.

They are among the people who can most easily enjoy these conveniences. With "twins" and "sublimation" going around in circles, and their own hard work, their cultivation progress is so fast that it's impossible for them to slow down.

Tang Shuang has undoubtedly entered the S-class ranks—although she hasn't awakened any new branches, her original explosive ability has been greatly enhanced.

Whether it's power, range, or the control over delayed detonation, the enhancements are significant.

The extensibility has also improved—now, bombing doesn't necessarily require her to touch it herself; a similar effect can be achieved by touching it through something she can touch.

To give a simple example, her specialty melee weapon is that pair of extendable batons, and the place where she is hit will also cause an explosion. If you have to say, this can be considered a new ability derived from her.

Su Lin had sparred with her several times, and she couldn't gain any advantage in a direct confrontation.

Lin Yue, the Queen of Sin City, is slightly inferior, currently only at the top of A+, without making any further progress.

But her advantage lies in the evolution of a very peculiar derivative ability: "refraction".

The most intuitive explanation is that when fishing, the fish you see with your naked eye is different from its actual location. Now that she has activated her ability, she can achieve a similar effect—what others see is not her actual location.

This effectively makes up for the fact that her original "optical camouflage" was somewhat useless.

That ability is really mediocre. Not only is the level low, but it's also easy to expose. Not to mention the strong mental power's ability to perceive the aura of supernatural abilities, she would have a hard time hiding even from scientifically accurate thermal and infrared senses.

However, as her level increases, these problems are now easily solved. As an assassin-type player, her ability to conceal herself has also made a qualitative leap.

Su Lin herself had also fought against the so-called Silver Knights. No matter what, these people were just like them, "Ascended Ones," not monsters with three heads and six arms. They were troublesome, but not as difficult to deal with as one might imagine.

"It's mainly because my wife is so capable."

Xu Shi offered flattery at opportune moments.

"No, not really..."

The word "Madam" left Director Su a little dizzy. She hadn't been by Xu Shi's side for a year, and she was still a bit unaccustomed to being addressed like that.

But I'm just so happy, it feels like I've finally achieved something great, um...

"What about me? What about me? What about me?"

Gu Yi wouldn't have it, and kept pestering her relentlessly.

Damn it, not to mention Su Lin, she also wants to be called that, it's so affectionate and sounds so nice.

"You..."

Xu Shi scrutinized her carefully and uttered a cold voice, "Heh."

"?"

Miss Black Rabbit was stunned for a moment, then was about to launch an attack, "What did I do? You bastard Xu, explain yourself!"

"Should I call you 'husband' first?"

"That's what Mr. Xu said."

"!"

Gu Yi paused for a moment, and then whispered hesitantly, "Husband...husband?"

She also wasn't used to this formal way of addressing him. Even if they got married, wouldn't she still call him "husband"? In comparison, this form of address had a more romantic feel to her...

"Why."

Xu Shi was very satisfied with her change of address.

"...Oh, that's it?"

The little black rabbit, who had been making one-sided efforts, blinked, but after a long while, it didn't get the response it wanted, and angrily questioned it.

"Otherwise what?"

Xu Shi looked puzzled. "I only told you to call me husband, I didn't say anything else."

"you!"

Realizing she'd been tricked again, Gu Yi changed her attack to a rocket-shaped headbutt, yelling, "You're just trying to annoy me! I'll fight you to the death!"

Xu Shi laughed heartily and used one hand to unilaterally suppress her attack.

After teasing her for a while, he cupped her face in his hands and smiled, "Just kidding, my Mrs. Gu is very capable too."

"...That's more like it."
