The girl held the delicious-looking roasted meat, glanced at the wolf beside her, gave it a defiant look, and began to devour the meat with a growl.

As if being so greedy wasn't enough, even with the meat in their mouths, their mouths weren't idle. "This meat smells so good, it's really delicious, and it's even sizzling with oil!"

Wolf:"!!!"

"Awoo!"

That's really going too far! A wolf's life matters too!

Seeing the skewer of grilled meat disappear into the girl's mouth, the wolf became a little anxious.

The saliva it produced made it unable to resist sticking out its tongue and licking its lips.

It seemed to be telling her through its actions: Let me try it, let me try it!

Seeing this, Qi Jiu stopped teasing it, left a few bites of the roasted meat in her hand, grabbed the wolf's head, and put the roasted meat with the skewer in its mouth.

The next second, the fair hand pressed down on the wolf's muzzle, pulling the stick out of its mouth while the other hand held it down.

Although the wolf resisted at first, it is now eating with gusto.

Ah~ It smells so good!

Successfully finished eating skewers!

Ast, who witnessed everything: "..."

Is this even possible these days? Perhaps he was dumbfounded, because he didn't do anything special. He didn't even realize that the girl had taken another skewer of grilled meat from his hand and fed it to the wolf.

The wolf huffed and puffed as he finished the roasted meat in his mouth. Then he stared intently at Qi Jiu. Even though he couldn't speak, the girl understood what he wanted to do.

She immediately shook her head in refusal, "No way, you've already eaten so much. What am I supposed to eat if you finish it all? You? Me?"

The next second, Yaster saw that the wolf, which had been drooling just moments before, was now lying obediently on the ground, with a strange fear in its eyes.

He just lay there motionless.

Aster: "..."

No, when did Junior Sister eat a wolf?

He didn't ask these questions aloud, but sat down beside her in a relaxed manner, looking at the same sky and the same sea of ​​stars with her.

They hadn't spent such a quiet life together in a long time.

"Qiqi, I heard that you're leaving right after you finish recruiting new employees this time?"

He didn't turn around, but looked up at the still twinkling stars in the sky. He had forgotten how long it had been since he had sat on the grass with someone and looked at the stars.

It's still a bit strange to be getting along like this.

Qi Jiu hummed in agreement, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Yes, I went back after the recruitment. In City A of China, I'm still a college student, and I have classes to attend."

With just a simple sentence, Astor smiled happily.

"That's good. What's so great about following us around fighting and killing every day? You should experience the life of an ordinary person too."

Qi Jiu didn't say anything more, and pursed her lips as she looked at the stars in the sky.

She had heard this sentence countless times: being an ordinary person is good, but ordinary people also have their own troubles.

Living in the moment is pretty good.

They all hoped she would live a happy and simple life, but that's not what she thought. If she were just an ordinary person, she wouldn't have run into them.

"The owner of Death Gate Island seems to be quite nice."

Suddenly, for some reason, the topic changed. Ast turned his head to look at the girl's profile, his eyes filled with doting affection.

Looking at Qi Jiu is like looking at his own younger sister.

In his eyes, no one is good enough for his sister, but if his sister likes him, he can tolerate the previous statement.

Mentioning Qi Silin deepened Qi Jiu's smile.

"Yes, not bad. Whether it's their identity or anything else, they are very rare to find internationally."

While they might not be a perfect match in terms of social standing in City A of China, they do fit together if you take into account their international status.

Hearing Qi Jiu defend him like this, Astor didn't know what else to say, and the topic began to change.

During the day, the new trainees' training continued. The girl's identity was exposed, making her seem like a boss with a new skin in the eyes of the new trainees, with even greater attack power.

Their attitude was like that of students seeing the dean of students—utterly timid.

Leng Ruo is one of the most youthful girls, and only she has a different emotion in her eyes when she sees Qi Jiu.

Leng Ruo doesn't like interacting with others, and among so many people, she can't get along with any of them.

But seeing her like this, the other new trainees couldn't help but ask.

"No, little sister, what kind of look is that? That one on the platform is number 7, our commander-in-chief. What's with that idol-like look you're giving him? You're already that worshipful?"

"Yeah, even though I used to look at him like that, after these few days of training, knowing that these deadly rules and training were Number 7's idea, I just can't seem to get that admiration back."

"Yeah, I'm just scared when I see her now..."

The surrounding chatter grew louder, but Leng Ruo's face remained unchanged.

He waited until the surrounding noise subsided before slowly speaking. "Isn't it normal to admire her? She's number 7! I don't need to elaborate on how famous she is on the black market, do I?"

Instantly, the surroundings fell silent. Everyone seemed stunned by her reaction. Finally, a woman with a Western appearance approached.

"Hey, you don't know Number 7, do you?"

Leng Ruo pursed her lips, glanced at her, and said, "I don't know her."

Qiqi had said that they should keep their distance here, and if they wanted to catch up, it wouldn't be too late to wait until they actually joined the assassin organization later.

As soon as she finished speaking, Leng Ruo walked away.

The Western woman who had asked the question earlier, though she didn't speak, had a rather intriguing expression in her eyes as she watched Leng Ruona's departing figure.

Really? You really don't recognize me?

On the other hand, Qi Jiu noticed their actions, but as competitors, some friction was normal.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

She lowered her eyes, stared at the encrypted string of numbers above, and paused for a moment.

He then turned and left while answering the phone.

"Speak up, I've been busy lately."

The girl, wearing combat boots, strolled slowly along the path. Her face, which had been expressionless, suddenly froze, and she even stopped kicking the pebbles.

The voice from the other end kept coming, "Little ancestor, can you help me? There's no record of him in the intelligence network. Only you can help me now. I don't know how he got away!"

Lind's pleading voice came from the other end of the phone.

Qi Jiu raised her hand and rubbed her temples, seemingly a little irritated.

She had long expected this to happen, after all, the boy's lifeless appearance before was genuine; to survive in a slum like Lofiel, he must have suffered something.
