Miss Black Rabbit finally calmed down, puffed out her cheeks, and lightly punched him twice.
He's a bastard, sometimes he's stinky, sometimes he's a scoundrel. Even if he doesn't play pranks on people, he can still talk.
Xie Qingyan, who was watching from the side, also wanted to laugh. Sure enough, from an outsider's perspective, the same teasing and bullying became much more interesting.
However, she didn't forget the important matter and poked Xu Shi for a question.
"Everyone's here, what about Night City?"
"...If I said there was an element of gambling involved, would you believe me?"
Xu Shi stopped joking and said seriously.
Of course he knew that Xie Xiaogou was concerned about the issue of "natural justice"—there was nothing to worry about about the City of Sin itself at night, as its rule had long since been consolidated, and as long as it didn't last too long, it wouldn't be so bad that Su Lin and the others would be robbed as soon as they arrived.
Not to mention Ning Wei, Yu Xingchuan, "Imaginary Number," and other capable generals, they can't make any waves.
On the contrary, the current campaign to conquer the new continent of Hualan Empire is at a critical juncture. Without a strong measure, it will be difficult to completely conquer it. There is a kind of desperate and reckless beauty to it.
As for "natural law"... I can only say that this thing is very polarized.
If their judgment is wrong, and they still possess extraordinary attack capabilities, then no matter how many people stay behind, they will be unable to defend against it.
Conversely, with the Night City's completely upgraded urban layout and defense system, any attempt to invade is simply a pipe dream.
"So... let's speed things up."
He sighed, "The sooner we end all this here, the better we can do other things."
The crowd remained noncommittal, and together with him, they led the massive combat team toward the cathedral—the Vatican had failed to take them down, so it was time for a counterattack.
They also thoughtfully reminded residents along the way to close their doors and windows and not to go out, as tonight was bound to be a dangerous night.
"The Papacy has provoked us and disregarded human life. We, the Cat Cult, are acting on the Queen's orders and will today eradicate this cancer that has plagued the Empire for so many years!"
It's just playing with public opinion; anyone can do that.
The loudspeaker kept broadcasting emotionless words, and the ordinary people wisely refrained from getting involved.
It can only be said that the Vatican's previous actions have indeed lost a lot of public support, which cannot be recovered by one or two newspapers.
Moreover, history is written by the victors, and anyone with a modicum of sense knows that the Holy Fire Cat Cult and the royal family are currently in the upper hand, so no one would risk provoking them now.
I should get some sleep; it'll be a new day when I wake up.
Of course, some people cheered them on through the doors and windows, shouting, "Long live the leader! Long live Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"
Who is the cult leader?
Gu Yi asked the question knowing the answer already.
"Of course it's you, who else could it be but me?"
Xu Shi asked back in a serious tone.
"cut."
Miss Black Rabbit snorted, then added with a hint of regret, "I feel like I've missed out on so much by not coming out with you... I don't care, I want to sit in this leader's seat too!"
Not fighting alongside that bastard Xu isn't a big problem; she still has to savor the fruits of victory.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Xu Shi did not refuse. Cat Cat Cult was just a tool to achieve his goal. After the matter was accomplished, he could play with it however he wanted.
But for now, we should first find the people at the church to meet up and settle things with the Vatican.
As they were talking, news came from the other side that the enemies who launched the attack under the pretext of causing trouble had been wiped out, and the two Silver-ranked soldiers in charge of leading the team had been killed by Tang Shuang and Lin Yue.
As Su Lin said.
"Hey!"
Mr. Xu sighed with emotion.
"What? You seem quite surprised?"
Xie Qingyan rolled her eyes at him.
"No, it's just that I feel women understand women better."
...
"Are you alright? Good thing we weren't too late."
Meanwhile, Tang Shuang, having finished the battle, found Xia Ke'an and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that they were safe.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Tang."
The older woman maintained her childlike figure and continued to act cute as always, saying, "And Sister Lin, hehe."
Of course, she remained calm and collected, because even if Xu Shi didn't say anything, she could still know what would happen in the future based on her abilities. That's why she wasn't worried at all just now; she could just watch the show and enjoy the spectacle.
This is the confidence of someone with prophetic abilities. (gif)
Pan Ling wasn't worried at all, because she now knew this too. As long as her junior sister said everything was fine, then everything was definitely fine. Of course, she wouldn't be as panicked as she was when they were fighting the Sea God before.
Growth is always reflected in small, gradual steps.
"My sister didn't panic either."
She glanced at Pan Feng.
The other party's answer was very sincere: "Actually, I am a little scared, but you and my junior sister both look like you are ready to die, so I can't show that I am weak."
...
So we overestimated you, right?
"No, my sister looks really cool protecting me."
The foolish apprentice didn't think that way; on the contrary, he was very moved by Pan Feng's courageous act of stepping forward and taking the lead.
It's always been like this since I was little. Whenever something happens, my older sister protects me faster than my parents.
"...Are you...alright?"
Pan Feng couldn't resist her sister's praise, especially the word "handsome," which she found irresistible—this was the highest compliment she had ever received from anyone since becoming Xia Wuyou's disciple.
As for that little bit of pride, well... she always felt that her younger sister was growing up much faster than her, and sometimes she even felt a little inferior.
But just now, that feeling vanished instantly. My sister is smarter than me, but she still needs me to protect her.
