Chapter 550 - 44: Vacation
"Because I was just worried that something major might happen with Chen Lusi, I only focused on calming Chai Pool down, and didn’t get a chance to question him. Now I need to go back and see if I can get definite answers or solutions from this Gatekeeper, who has been most severely corrupted by the God."
Xia Yue explained, "Even if Chai cannot provide answers, there is more detailed information on Kunlun’s side."
"Understood."
Ji Xin nodded slowly upon hearing this.
"Then I’ll leave this place to you. I will return to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters within three days."
Xia Yue left a few words, waved to Chen Lusi and the others watching, then transformed into a white line, shot up with a sonic boom, and disappeared instantly.
Although he spoke very calmly just now,
judging by his urgency, the actual situation was obviously not optimistic.
Ji Xin watched Xia Yue leave, then turned to Li Zheng and directly said:
"...Li Zheng, contact the local Security Army, arrange for vehicles, confirm the time, then escort all the captives back to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters. Shanli and I will accompany you back."
Li Zheng instinctively looked at Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi was slightly dazed, but quickly reacted and nodded.
Li Zheng immediately turned around and began to arrange the vehicles.
Ji Xin had nothing to say about it, turned to Tang Language, "Tang Language, go find Yu Zhou now, tell him the alarm is temporarily lifted, but advise him not to relax. Let him patrol the sea for a few days and report any suspicious individuals."
"And after informing him, stay here temporarily to support his work and return to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters with him in three days."
Tang Language responded softly, "Oh..."
Although she didn’t really want to work, she knew how to prioritize.
Ji Xin then looked at Shu Li, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Shu Li, you don’t need to stay in the third squad anymore. Come back with me to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters."
"Ah? I wanted to join the mobile unit..."
Shu Li, who had foolishly promised Chen Lusi not long ago that she could persuade Ji Xin, now chickened out in front of Ji Xin.
After all, Ji Xin was an idol.
"We’ll talk about it later. The leader of the mobile unit currently has issues, so discussing it is meaningless now. Xia Panqiu and Wu You should also go back to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters with the Security Army. As for Chen Lusi..."
Ji Xin shook his head, firmly rejected Shu Li, and finally looked at Chen Lusi. After a moment of silence, he said, "I originally wanted you to help feed Spirit Balls to those deployed so they could also use ’Reversing Holy Words,’ but considering your current situation, you’re clearly not suitable for this work anytime soon. And going back to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters without a solution to your problem is also pointless, so... you’re free to act."
...
Chen Lusi was given a break.
At least in name.
He was given a break.
Soon.
Only he and Lin Ying were left on the beach.
It’s not that Li Zheng and the others got everything done and headed to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters so quickly; even at top speed, coordinating vehicle arrangements would take some time.
They just left the beach to escort the group of invaders to a temporary detention center.
Guided by the local Empowerers in Lu City, as for the others, maybe out of tacit understanding, they all chose to leave with Li Zheng.
"..."
Chen Lusi watched everyone leave, then turned back to look at Lin Ying, who stood there charmingly.
Lin Ying blinked and directly asked, "What just happened?"
Chen Lusi organized his words and briefly explained to Lin Ying what had just happened.
There wasn’t much to hide, and he never hid anything from Lin Ying.
And Lin Ying just listened quietly and nodded gently without showing much surprise.
In fact, thinking about it carefully,
she had never shown much surprise about most things related to the Extraordinary Domain.
Whether it was Chen Lusi’s ’Dismantling’ that could break techniques, or the number of strong enemies he defeated, or his pace of advancement,
Lin Ying mostly just listened quietly and nodded, rarely showing a loss of composure. The only time Chen Lusi remembered Lin Ying being surprised was when he first drew the Shrinking Earth Talisman.
"You don’t find it surprising? You don’t seem worried at all."
Chen Lusi thought of this, paused for a moment, and suddenly asked.
"After hearing Ji Xin and Xia Yue’s conversation, combined with Si Yujie’s abnormality before I left... I’ve already roughly guessed, so I’m not too surprised."
Lin Ying shook her head, then stepped forward to stand in front of Chen Lusi, her upper body slightly leaning forward close to him, raising her pale white chin, "As for being worried... why should I be worried about my own God?"
"..."
Chen Lusi gazed at Lin Ying’s faintly blushing, captivating face, then turned his gaze to the sea.
Lin Ying met Chen Lusi’s gaze for a while, and when she noticed he turned his gaze away, she suddenly sighed gently, then completely fell forward, leaning into Chen Lusi’s embrace, stretching out her fair arms to hug him, "Alright... actually, I am really worried. After finding out Si Yujie wanted to kill you, I was very worried. Just now, I didn’t lose my footing, it was intentional, because with so many people around, I felt shy directly hugging you."
And I thought they were really attacking you and wanted them all dead.
Lin Ying thought about it but didn’t say the last sentence, just moved her head, gently rubbing against Chen Lusi’s chest, "But I think my performance might not be that great, with so many people around, yet I just fell into your arms... Wow, thinking about it, it’s so embarrassing."
"..."
Chen Lusi held Lin Ying’s voluptuous, alluring body in his embrace in silence, unsure of what to say, only feeling... she’s very cute.
Why hadn’t he realized it before?
Chen Lusi thought as he gently rubbed his chin against the hair on Lin Ying’s head, suddenly feeling that not being able to use Authority Ability and being targeted by the entire Kunlun Pantheon was no longer such a big deal.
"...My hair is getting messy, don’t move."
Lin Ying shook her head again, her hand around Chen Lusi’s back rising to gently tap his back.
Chen Lusi settled down.
Next.
The two embraced each other in silence.
Quietly enjoying the rare serene moment.
After a while.
Lin Ying finally lifted her head, taking a step back to leave Chen Lusi’s embrace while tidying her slightly messy hair, saying, "Don’t worry... you’ll definitely solve it, whether it’s the Kunlun Pantheon targeting or anything else, because you’re strong."
Chen Lusi nodded, "Hm."
"But... you can’t use Authority Ability next, right?"
"Hm."
Chen Lusi nodded again.
Lin Ying tilted her head adorably and asked, "So next, I’ll need to protect you?"
Chen Lusi still nodded, "Hm, pretty much."
"Then you don’t mind being my little follower?"
Lin Ying held Chen Lusi’s hand, threading her slender fingers through his, her enchanting face blooming with a smile.
Chen Lusi: "..."
Five minutes later.
Chen Lusi held Lin Ying’s shoes in one hand, with the other hand held by Lin Ying, as they walked forward.
Lin Ying carefully led Chen Lusi forward, and as she first touched the seawater, her pale white legs instinctively curled, her dainty white feet tiptoeing, seemingly a little afraid of the cold.
However,
despite the cold, she had no intention of leaving, continuing to move forward, gripping Chen Lusi’s hand even tighter.
"Chen Lusi."
Lin Ying took another step, then suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Lusi, and asked, "Does this mean we’re now in a relationship?"
After asking.
She immediately turned her head to look ahead.
Chen Lusi watched as Lin Ying continued forward, still "testing" the seawater but clearly a bit absent-minded, looking at her beautiful, captivating profile, suddenly stopped, pulled her to a stop, and said softly, "Yes, I like you."
"..."
Lin Ying slightly lowered her head, watching her snow-white feet being covered by the seawater, with her ears turning a bit red, "Oh..."
Chen Lusi continued to look at her, feeling that taking a break wasn’t such a bad thing.
After all, without him, the sky wouldn’t fall.
Because besides him, the Celestial Strategy Mansion had many Advanced Combat Powers.
But.
For Lin Ying beside him, there was only one Chen Lusi.
And for him, it was the same.
...
At the same time.
Ji Xin had just returned to the Lu City branch of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, immediately had Shanli push him to the balcony.
On the balcony.
A white line suddenly descended, it was Xia Yue.
Ji Xin watched the returning Xia Yue, paused for a moment, then said, "Xia Yue, there are no outsiders here now, speak up... did you have other information you didn’t mention earlier?"
