"Really?" Chi Zaiqing's gaze lingered on Shi Xi's firm waist and abdomen for a moment before he asked softly.
"Does Aran really want to take a bath?"
At the same time, he subtly stepped forward, blocking Pei Muban's view.
"..." Shi Xi didn't expect the young master to react this way.
He seems quite excited about it.
Shi Xi thought to herself.
This can't scare him?
Then I'll do something drastic and show him what I'm made of!
"Of course it is."
He pulled the drawstring on his pants, bent down slightly, and made a gesture as if to take off his pants.
"Let's go outside."
Fortunately, Pei Muban couldn't stand it any longer and grabbed Chi Zaiqing's wrist, pulling him out.
He also left behind the words, "Half an hour."
"……?" Shi Xi frowned.
Seriously, bro? You're going to tell me how long I can take in the shower?
He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Fortunately, half an hour was enough. Shi Xi picked up the shirt from the carpet, put it on, went into the bathroom, and turned on the shower.
Then, taking his dagger and sniper rifle, he jumped straight out of the window.
Under the cover of night, we arrived at our destination without any obstacles.
...
Chi Zaiqing stood guard outside the door. Unlike Pei Muban, he didn't stand at the doorway but squatted down on the ground.
He tilted his head back, his deep blue eyes fixed intently, as if he could see through the door into the room.
Pei Mu glanced at him, and although he thought his posture was rather unseemly, he didn't say anything.
"Will Aran still be inside when the door opens again?" Chi Zaiqing suddenly murmured to himself.
Chi Zaiqing's voice was so soft that even Pei Muban, who had keen senses, couldn't hear what he was saying.
Pei Mu glanced at Chi Zaiqing and saw a variety of complex emotions in his expression, including expectation, grievance, and loyalty.
Just like a Ragdoll cat that has been abandoned outside the door by its owner for no reason, it is obedient and does not make a fuss, just waiting for its owner to open the door for it.
Pei Mu thought for a moment that when Chi Zaiqing was normal, he was quite like an omega.
"How much time do we have left?" Chi Zaiqing suddenly turned to look at Pei Muban.
"Only eight minutes have passed." Pei Mu glanced at the time, his tone revealing an impatience he himself was unaware of.
Upon hearing this, Chi Zaiqing opened his terminal brain, glanced at the rapidly moving red dot, and his azure eyes instantly turned as black as ink, shrouded in shadow, which was chilling.
He stood up, listening to the unchanging sound of running water in the bathroom, and walked towards the stairs under Pei Mu's puzzled gaze.
His patience had completely run out.
Now, he's going to bring Aran back.
**he.
After a while, Pei Mu saw the expression on Chi Zaiqing's face.
At this moment, Chi Zaiqing was no longer like a docile and obedient Ragdoll cat, but rather like a cold, venomous snake baring its fangs.
Pei Mu glanced at the room door, then at Chi Zaiqing's back, and finally stayed where he was.
...
Shi Xi carefully pushed open the door.
As if he had expected this, Amisa looked at Shi Xi and asked, "Did you come to see me, or to see the Devourer?"
"Of course I came to see you..." Shi Xi found a chair and sat down, saying casually.
Amissa smiled, as if this obviously perfunctory remark was enough to satisfy him.
"Let's also take a look at the Devourer." Shi Xi smiled and said to Amissa.
Shi Xi felt that choosing the Asian Mass was actually more convenient for him, given the great storyteller's choice.
After all, if it were Chi Zaiqing, he really wouldn't be confident that he could complete the plot points without using special methods.
If he still doesn't realize the problem after that blatant look in the young master's eyes, then he's wasted his title as an outstanding graduate of the Quick Transmigration Bureau. :)
The smile on Amisa's lips vanished, replaced by a helpless sigh. "Is it a mission?"
From his perspective, Jiang Yichen has countless fans, and it's not surprising that one or two wealthy people would hire Shi Xi to rescue him when they hear that he's in trouble.
Or perhaps, deep down, he actually hoped for this possibility.
Shi Xi was only on a mission when she risked her life to save Jiang Yichen, not for any other reason.
Shi Xi crossed her legs, waved her finger at the Alpha, and said, "No."
Amis's eyes darkened slightly.
Shi Xi suddenly became curious and asked on a whim, "What if I really am on a mission?"
"Then I'll pay ten times the amount and cancel the mission."
Shi Xi couldn't discern his emotions. He glanced sideways at Ya Misa, his long, slender fingers tracing a casual arc in the air. "What if the other party offers something you don't already have?"
"Then I'll kill him."
He paused for a second, then asked, "Is it a mission?"
"No." Shi Xi stood up, her eyes clear and her tone very calm.
He saved Jiang Yichen not just because of the mission.
It's also because the other person is a good person; he would have saved them even if it were someone else.
Besides... Jiang Yichen's roasted rabbit was quite delicious.
As Missa looked at the entrance to the cockpit of the Devourer, Shi Xi said, "You can't go in. You don't have permission."
So far, only three Alphas have access to the Devourer: Jiang Yichen, Chi Yan'an, and him.
"Others may not be able to, but I can." Shi Xi smiled brightly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Xi took out the Imperial Marshal Medal that Jiang Yichen had given him and placed it in front of the recognition screen.
'Beep—Identification successful, Source Detection initiated. It's a pleasure to serve you!'
Amas's pupils widened slightly, and unexpectedly, his breath paused for a second.
Shi Xi glanced sideways at Ya Misa, her eyes filled with determination, "I'm an SSS beta, only I can turn the tide and bring Jiang Yichen back!"
Such cringeworthy lines.
Shi Xi felt incredibly awkward inside, but her face remained expressionless.
He looked at the bright, intricate keyboard in the driver's seat. "Your Highness, I am more suitable than you."
The Mass did not answer Shi Xi's question.
He just stared at Shi Xi, remained silent for a long time, then took a purple wreath that Shi Xi felt was very familiar, and finally walked step by step to Shi Xi.
Shi Xi looked puzzled, then heard the Mass say, "The wreath of heaven."
"?" Shi Xi asked in confusion.
What's the meaning?
The Mass placed the object on the head of the sun.
"It's for coaxing little kids."
Shi Xi raised her hand and took off the flower wreath from her head.
"I'm not a little kid."
After speaking, Xi paused and placed the flower wreath on the railing beside her.
"Thanks anyway."
He glanced at the Mass beside him, took a piece of candy from his pocket and gave it to him, saying, "It's only fair."
The candy had subtle signs of being torn open, and there were two candies inside.
Amas took the candy, paused for two seconds, and by the time he reacted, the cockpit door had already closed.
And her purple wreath was still there.
Shi Xi sat in the cockpit, pressed the start button, and the sensor ceiling above her head opened automatically. In the blink of an eye, the mecha disappeared.
At the same time, Shi Xi also received a notification that the mission progress had reached 90%.
