Chapter 1176: Chapter 1173
Rolling her eyes, Bi Xia chose to selectively ignore it, but before she could even open her mouth, 007 started howling, [Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please just agree, okay? You’re only considering it anyway, it’s not like you have to actually enter that circle. Just treat it as a side gig for fun! Say yes and you even get experience points~~~]
Bi Xia: ...
[Just say yes already!]007 wailed at the top of its lungs, [Say yes say yes!!!]
As it spoke, 007 simply pulled out its trump card, [I never told you this, but I actually have punishment authority now. It’s to stop you people from always ignoring the missions we issue!]
’Then why didn’t you use it before, you little liar.’
[I am not!] 007 rudely threw its punishment list over to Bi Xia, [See that? Careful or I’ll turn you into a rabbit at the drop of a hat!]
Bi Xia: ...Fuck! It’s actually fucking real!
007: ...Please mind your language, you’ll be a bad influence on the kids!
When under someone else’s roof, you bow your head when it’s time to bow—Bi Xia kept this firmly in mind. While talking with 007 she had been putting on a thoughtful expression, and on the side Luo Hao, seeing this, joined the persuasion squad, giving Bi Xia plenty of chance to "chat."
At this moment, Bi Xia’s eyes flickered. A bit tempted, she looked at Luo Hao, then at Director Zhang. The teenager’s pure expression was like a blank sheet of paper just waiting for others to color it in, making Luo Hao and Director Zhang, who had been trying to talk Bi Xia into it, suddenly feel very embarrassed, as if they were big bad wolves trying to lure Little Red Riding Hood away.
Just when the two of them were about to retreat with their flags furled, they saw the teen lightly nod. "I’ll think about it seriously. Thank you, Director Zhang, Brother Six."
Too well-behaved!
To the old man, looking at this teenager was practically like looking at his own grandson. He chuckled, rubbing the tuft of beard on his chin and nodding repeatedly. "It’s fine, it’s fine. Think it over. As long as you want in, Uncle will bring you in."
007: [...You’re too freaking good at acting, Your Majesty!]
Bi Xia smiled. ’Please mind your language, you’ll be a bad influence on the kids.’
007: ...
Snorting, 007 reflexively wanted to go complain to Xiao Wu, only to suddenly remember that Xiao Wu had already gone back into the Void Space. It glanced at the door to the Void Space, paused, and frowned slightly. Sleeping so dead to the world in broad daylight... could he really have kidney damage from reading that novel all night...
With a soft sigh, 007 felt it should probably find a time to talk to His Majesty about it. After all, caring about the physical and mental health of teenagers was something a parent just had to do.
Thinking of this, 007 immediately began searching on the computer for information on "guiding the physical and mental health of teenagers." The screen instantly filled with countless "downloading" pop-ups. Looking at those little video thumbnails popping up one after another, 007 snickered. It had suffered a loss with His Majesty; it had to make up for it somewhere else, right?
Meanwhile, a helicopter touched down at the airport in Yan City. A man in uniform, looking just over thirty, stepped down from the helicopter in full military dress. He looked ahead, his expression steady, eyes carrying the weight of having faced life-and-death and killing, carefully surveying the Yan City airport. Noticing all the gazes turning his way and the people habitually pulling out their phones to take pictures, his thick brows knit together. He signaled with his eyes to the person beside him, and that person immediately understood and headed toward those people taking out their phones.
"Have you found the target?" the man asked in a low voice.
"We have," the other replied, then paused. "But... our schedule might be a bit troublesome this time."
"Speak."
"Second Young Master Ji, Mr. Chu, Mr. Luo and Mr. Xu are all in Yan City. They’re all with the target right now."
His eyes darkened slightly. After a moment, "Luo Liu and Xu Qi aren’t much of an issue. Second Young Master Ji and Chu Wu are the troublesome ones..."
Then the man added blandly, "Doesn’t matter. As long as that problematic Qin Si isn’t here, everything’s negotiable."
