"What's there to be afraid of? There's a saying that true gold fears no fire. If we haven't done something, we can find out with a simple investigation."
"In that case, your undercover career is coming to an end."
"Let it end if it's over. Hopefully, the leader of the base is extremely wary and will wear a mask even when he appears. Even though I've infiltrated the upper echelons, there are still many things I don't know, so it's not worth continuing."
Judging from his tone, he seemed extremely dissatisfied with not gaining the leader's trust. An Ge couldn't help but sigh, even an undercover agent has the ambition of an undercover agent.
She inappropriately recalled a joke from her past life: perhaps if Zhang Zhengyi were given a little more time, he could rise to a high position.
"Then this battle of public opinion is up to you."
"Mission accomplished!"
The two chuckled, and their innocent faces simultaneously revealed cunning expressions.
Looking at the supermarket overflowing with supplies, Luo Tao silently swallowed, wondering how much stuff there was. He absentmindedly followed the rules as he made his purchases, seemingly understanding why the base was worried about the loss of high-level ability users.
If he had a choice, he'd want to come here too. Even if the Immortal Fate Base is making some underhanded moves, what impact would that have on them as superhumans?
Those traveling with them were clearly stunned as well; even the team leader fell silent, his previous air of dread completely gone. Clearly, the temptation before them was far greater than the potential danger.
Looking at the glamorous crowd, Xue Shiqing felt a mixture of shame and anger. She thought she was doing well enough, but compared to these people, she was dressed worse than a beggar.
Among these people, she even saw several familiar faces—people she had seen when she passed through the shantytown.
Why? That was Xue Shiqing's first reaction. These useless ordinary people were actually living better than her. And she'd heard that many of the inn's management were ordinary people. Where was the hint of their lives being threatened in the smiles on their faces?
Filled with anger, she forgot the supermarket's rules and tried to put the beautiful women's dress in front of her into her storage space.
"Huh? Why isn't it working?"
Seeing this, one employee curled his lip in disdain, thinking, "Another one trying to take advantage of someone with superpowers."
"Guest, the use of supernatural abilities is prohibited within the inn's premises. If you like this outfit, you'll need to purchase it with points. If you're short on funds, no problem, we have some discounted clothes here that won't cost many points," the waiter said warmly.
To Xue Shiqing, these words sounded like a mockery, especially since the person opposite her was an ordinary person with no supernatural abilities whatsoever.
"What do you mean? You think I can't afford the things here? Are you kidding me? You're just an ordinary person, who gave you the guts to yell at me, a spatial ability user?" Xue Shiqing's suppressed anger was ignited, and she looked like a madwoman.
Luo Tao felt extremely embarrassed looking at Xue Shiqing, who was behaving like a shrew, and was even more afraid of offending the person behind her.
Meng Xia finally finished her busy work and came back to hear that a girl named Gu Yixin was trying to curry favor with An Ge every few days. She was so angry that she kept calling An Ge a heartless person.
Before An Ge could even balance things out, the two had become good friends again. Watching the two quietly sharing their little secrets, An Ge couldn't help but marvel at how fast the world was changing.
"Zhang Zhengyi just reported to me that the base may face a wave of public opinion attacks later, so we need to be careful." An Ge said with a serious expression.
Gu Yixin chuckled, "An Ge, only brainless people would believe such absurd rumors. Just come to the base and see for yourself, and I don't believe those superhumans will still have any doubts."
After learning the whole story, Meng Xia breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right, you're someone who does big things, these little things aren't worth your trouble."
Fifteen minutes later, An Ge, who was busy with important matters, was dragged out shopping by the two of them.
She didn't know what was so interesting about shopping at the supermarket, but Meng Xia and Gu Yixin had said that a woman's shopping doesn't necessarily mean she has a need; shopping is, in fact, a need.
“I am Lou Han’s woman, the captain of the Bright Squad. Find your manager. You are not worthy to speak to me.”
Just as An Ge reached the supermarket entrance, she heard a bossy voice. Oh dear, she'd run into a troublemaker. What caught her attention was the person's identity.
Lou Han's woman? That's all?
The moment Meng Xia heard Xue Shiqing's voice, she froze. She would never forget that voice, not even in death.
"What's wrong?" An Ge noticed Meng Xia's dazed expression.
"Little Ge'er, is my hair messy? I should have soaked in the holy spring before coming here."
“You’re radiant right now, with skin as white as ice and bones as jade. You could easily outshine everyone without even soaking in the holy spring.” The tacit understanding she had developed with Meng Xia allowed An Ge to instantly guess the other person’s identity.
No wonder she felt the other person looked familiar; it was the same person she had seen in the illusion.
"I'm going!" Meng Xia walked into the supermarket with an arrogant expression, despite Gu Yixin's puzzled look.
"Xiaxia, is she possessed by a ghost?"
Before An Ge could explain, she heard a shrill female voice, "A ghost!"
Looking at the disheveled Xue Shiqing, Meng Xia smiled even more brightly, but her tone was somewhat displeased, "What did you say? How could a ghost look as good as me?"
Xue Shiqing trembled all over. She had personally pushed Meng Xia into the horde of zombies; there was no way she could still be alive. Although the woman in front of her looked like Meng Xia, she was much prettier than that bitch; they couldn't possibly be the same person.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the woman in front of her click her tongue twice. "Xue Shiqing, what happened to you? Tsk, it looks like you haven't taken care of yourself in a long time. You look at least ten years older than before."
Xue Shiqing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and she pointed at Meng Xia, unable to utter a word for a long time, "You are Meng Xia!"
"Xiaxia!" Luo Tao was stunned the moment Meng Xia appeared. Looking at the even more beautiful Meng Xia, he felt a mix of regret and joy.
He and Meng Xia have been friends for over a decade. Now that he has changed his mind, as long as he says a few nice words, Meng Xia, with her personality, will surely forgive him.
"Xiaxia, it's so good that you're back. This woman seduced me back then. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Meng Xia felt a chill run down her spine when she looked at Luo Tao. Having seen so many handsome men and beautiful women around An Ge, Luo Tao was truly an eyesore. She must have been blind to think Luo Tao was handsome before.
Also, what does Luo Tao's look mean? Does he not intend to turn back and eat this weed himself?
Meng Xia was filled with anger and was about to say something sarcastic when she heard a clear male voice, like a refreshing spring, quenching her anger. "Xia Xia, so you're here. I've been looking for you everywhere."
This is the epitome of ear pregnancy!
Everyone turned to look and saw a tall figure slowly walking in. When they saw his face clearly, they all gasped.
