My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 104 - 97: Ah~

After Chen Lusi left the meeting room, he shook his head again.

He deliberately stopped Xia Panqiu from continuing.

Because it’s pointless to dwell on this matter.

For Wu You and Xia Panqiu.

At that time, the best solution was indeed not to exchange on the spot or save themselves, but to hurry to the scene.

And the facts proved that they were right.

If they hadn’t gone to the scene in advance, it wouldn’t have been easy to deal with the small fry, and Chen Lusi wouldn’t have learned about the Authority Ability of the three main enemies.

So he wouldn’t have been mentally prepared either.

At least.

The Spirit Ball he accumulated at that time would not have been released on that Self member whose Authority Ability was ’Stabilize’.

If there had been a wall blocking all along, it would have been quite troublesome later on.

It would also be very troublesome for him to figure out the enemy’s Authority Ability.

Of course.

This is just one aspect.

On the other hand, if viewed from his personal perspective, the matter takes on another meaning.

But the matter has already passed, and everyone is safe and sound, and he successfully escaped, and the issue was resolved, so there’s no need to mention it again... so he never brought it up.

Unexpectedly, Xia Panqiu mentioned it voluntarily.

He could only interrupt her, as simply adding estrangement and guilt was meaningless.

As for being left behind.

Was he disappointed... a bit disappointed he was, as he thought it would unfold like a hot-blooded manga.

But to say he had a grudge because of it, not really.

At most, he would just sigh and say, ’What a pity.’

However...

Chen Lusi seemed to forget that Wu You wasn’t here, and there was no one to joke around with.

His attitude was sometimes misunderstood in another direction...

...

"Leaving?"

When Chen Lusi passed by the front desk, Si Yujie noticed him and took the initiative to greet him.

Her beautiful face carried a slight smile, as if she remembered what happened earlier that morning.

"Mm." Chen Lusi stopped in his tracks and nodded.

"Actually, after thinking it over... being older isn’t a problem, right?"

Si Yujie tilted her head and suddenly asked, "Besides, I’m experienced in naming children..."

"..."

Upon realizing it was a misunderstanding, Chen Lusi looked at Si Yujie who was now teasing him, paused for a moment, and then turned to leave: "I’m heading back first, Sister Yujie."

"Wait."

Si Yujie suddenly leaned forward, tugging his ponytail with a chuckle: "Either call me sister, or just call me Sister Siyu, but don’t pause when you say Sister Yujie, it sounds awful.

... Why not just call me sister? Feels quite fitting."

"..."

Chen Lusi felt somewhat helpless: "Sister Siyu."

Si Yujie finally let go of his ponytail, laughing: "This works too, see you tomorrow."

Chen Lusi sighed deeply and left.

The sole thought he had was, so even mature older sisters can be childish.

Si Yujie watched Chen Lusi leave, couldn’t help but chuckle again, as if finding the face she lost that morning.

Younger boys sometimes... really are quite adorable.

She was musing over this.

The second sound of footsteps echoed.

Xia Panqiu emerged with her head lowered, and Si Yujie noticed, greeting her as well.

Xia Panqiu heard the greeting but didn’t respond, instead walking straight behind the front desk to stand in front of Si Yujie.

"What’s wrong?" Si Yujie looked at Xia Panqiu, who seemed down, a bit curious.

Xia Panqiu pursed her dewy red lips, then opened her arms to hug Si Yujie’s waist, whispering: "I think I messed up, Xiaoxiao, the hard-won rebuilt trust is gone again."

Si Yujie: "...?"

...

Elsewhere.

After leaving Celestial Strategy Trading, Chen Lusi headed directly towards Qinyuan and Mansion.

Encountering nothing along the way.

The journey was silent.

Very quickly.

Chen Lusi arrived at the house rented by Lin Ying, just about to take out his key to open the door.

But as he inserted the key, he suddenly heard faint sounds coming from inside the house.

Very faint.

But there was indeed a subtle noise of something moving around.

Chen Lusi slightly furrowed his brow, unlocked the door, then gently pushed it open, cautiously entering the living room.

Looking through the hallway, one could see the curtains were drawn.

Chen Lusi activated his ’eye’, his eyes turning azure blue, proceeding unhurriedly.

Soon, he reached the corner connecting the hallway and the living room, turned, and saw the ’creature’.

"..."

A large expanse of snow-white skin came into view.

The skin was white with a hint of red, and a healthy pinkish glow shone through its brightness.

Lin Ying was standing by the sofa, holding a nightgown in her hand, seemingly in the middle of changing clothes.

Upon noticing Chen Lusi.

Her clear and stunning face reflected a hint of confusion, followed by a gentle voice: "What are you sneaking around for?"

"... What kind of manga scenario is this?"

Looking at Lin Ying, clad in close-fitting attire, Chen Lusi seemed rather resigned: "Didn’t you even announce your return?"

"Manga scenario?"

Lin Ying, holding the clothing, reacted to Chen Lusi’s words: "Does that mean I should scream? Ah~"

She let out a pretend scream to express bashfulness.

However, it lacked any real emotion... it was all for show.

After finishing her act.

Even she could hardly hold back, and softly chuckled: "How silly."

Chen Lusi couldn’t be bothered with her antics, turning away to close the door.

When he returned, Lin Ying had already changed her clothes.

She had put on a white nightgown, which seemed highly breathable, snugly fitting her delicate frame, enhancing her already impressive figure with even more elegance, while the skirt’s length was just right, revealing her slender, toned legs.

"When did you come back? You said you were returning at the end of the month, didn’t you?"

After scrutinizing her for a moment, Chen Lusi asked.

Lin Ying didn’t rush to reply; she moved her snow-white bare feet, reminiscent of icy lotus petals, to stand before Chen Lusi, then circled around him.

Chen Lusi remained quietly where he was, waiting until she circled back before him, then continued to ask: "Is something urgent?"

"Mm."

Lin Ying stood in front of Chen Lusi, replied: "The impact of this incident is too wide-ranging, requiring many Empowerers with Spiritual Authority, so I came back, but the main reason for returning early is because..."

At this point.

She paused, looking at Chen Lusi’s face, softly said: "You’re too pitiful, left behind by teammates..."

"Stop."

Chen Lusi interrupted: "It’s not as exaggerated as you say."

Lin Ying asked softly: "Isn’t it?"

"It’s not."

"Then why are you so furious? That’s unlike you."

"..."

"Is it because of that person controlling the dead?"

Seeing Chen Lusi’s silence, Lin Ying seemed to think of something, lifted her snowy white chin, and gazed at him: "Reminding you of your parents?"

Chen Lusi thought it over, replied: "That could be part of the reason."

"..."

Lin Ying paused for a moment, didn’t continue the topic, but took a step back, spun around on the spot, then asked: "Have I gotten fat? Have I put on a pound from indulging with Lin Wan all the time?"

Chen Lusi shook his head: "... No."

Lin Ying tilted her head, retorted: "How do you know? You haven’t even checked."

"I just saw."

"You didn’t see... measure with your hands."

"..."
