Chapter 127 Waiting for Me at Home
Su Qiu hung up the phone, leaned back in the wicker chair, and slowly closed her eyes.
His fingertips unconsciously traced the edge of his phone, and his aura calmed down, carrying a lingering sense of unease.
"Host~~So hot~~~"
Xiao Xitian's voice, laced with a strong sense of mockery, lingered in my mind.
Su Qiu didn't even lift her eyelids, instinctively slapping him: "Get out!"
The crisp "snap" sound seemed to penetrate one's consciousness.
Xiao Xitian instantly bristled, utterly shocked, and cried out in a tearful voice, "No, host! How...how could you actually hit me?!"
Su Qiu then opened her eyes and raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Then he raised his hand and mentally slapped himself again.
"Snapped!"
"Waaaaah... Host! You've gone too far!" Xiao Xitian's cries became even more aggrieved.
Su Qiu took a deep breath, feeling a strange heat still lingering in her body, so she decided to vent all her anger on Xiao Xitian.
"Hehehe..." Su Qiu's lips curled up.
"Host! If you hit me again, I'll take back your...your...d!"
Xiao Xitian must have gotten anxious, because he started making threats.
Su Qiu scoffed, her tone icy: "Afraid of you? With your current level of power, you can barely maintain your virtual form, yet you dare to threaten me?"
"I was wrong, host! I was really wrong! Please stop hitting me..." Little Xitian immediately admitted defeat and begged for mercy, crying.
"Clap clap clap clap..."
Su Qiu directly unleashed a set of "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" in his mind.
The virtual palm strikes, imbued with energy, landed on Xiao Xitian repeatedly, serving as a way to release his anger.
"Waaaah, host, if you're so angry, go find Shen Yi! What kind of skill is it to hit me?"
Xiao Xitian was beaten so badly he screamed and cried uncontrollably.
Su Qiu's eyes gleamed slyly, and a mischievous smile curled at the corner of her lips:
"I'd rather not waste water hitting you."
Xiao Xitian was stunned for two seconds before realizing what she was teasing, and her crying immediately rose eight octaves:
"Host~~ You're bullying me~~ Waaaaah..."
Hearing its powerful cries, Su Qiu finally felt a little less agitated.
Finally, he withdrew his "palm technique," leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes again, and a slight smile quietly appeared on his lips.
comfortable.
Su Qiu raised an eyebrow, her fingertips lightly tapping the armrest, her gaze fixed on empty space, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable sense of pressure:
"So, what's the reason for this?"
Xiao Xitian covered her "face," sobbing and hiding in a corner of her consciousness, her voice muffled and aggrieved:
"I...I don't know either...It might be because your mental strength was originally high, and after reaching this stage, it gradually adapted and stabilized. In addition, you were a mental strength evolver in the previous world, and the residual foundation is still there..."
Its voice trailed off as it spoke, stealing glances at Su Qiu's expression, afraid of getting another beating.
After listening, Su Qiu gave a noncommittal reply, but didn't really care about the reason.
Whether it's residual spiritual energy or a sudden awakening, the outcome is good.
At least if this foul-mouthed guy dares to talk nonsense again, there are plenty of ways to deal with him.
She was too lazy to think further, and simply snorted in her mind, "Good that you know. If you dare to talk nonsense again, a few slaps won't be enough to solve the problem."
Little Xitian was so frightened that he immediately nodded vigorously, tearfully promising:
"I'll never do it again, host! I'll definitely keep my mouth shut!"
Su Qiu then withdrew her attention with satisfaction, slowing the rhythm of her fingertips, a barely perceptible smile flashing across her eyes.
Cool.
Su Qiu's fingers suddenly paused, and her brows furrowed slightly.
I almost forgot about Lu Chen and his family of three being released on bail.
The fact that bail could be granted in such a short time suggests that the forces behind it are not simple.
She picked up her phone, dialed a number, and the moment the call connected, her tone turned serious: "Little Fox."
"Boss." A calm response came from the other end of the phone.
"Investigate who orchestrated the bail of Lu Chen and his family of three."
The technique seemed familiar; don't overlook any clues.
Su Qiu tapped her fingertips on the table, her eyes sharp.
"We will focus on investigating those forces that have recently had contact with the prison system."
"Yes, I'll go check right away." The white fox's voice showed no hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Su Qiu leaned back in her chair, her fingertips tracing the edge of her phone.
I'm about to get into another fight with the male and female leads.
A spark of excitement instantly lit up her eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
"Tsk, I'm so excited..."
She muttered to herself, her fingers moving faster and faster, her eyes brimming with anticipation, and her whole aura becoming more lively.
Xiao Xitian huddled in the corner, trembling. Seeing Su Qiu's excited expression, he dared not move.
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
News about the male and female protagonists has vanished without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.
Su Qiu sat in the spacious, bright room, her fingertips lightly tapping the table, her eyes serious.
She guessed that the couple was probably secretly preparing for a decisive blow, hoping to completely trip her up.
It seems.
The biggest surprise was Shen Yi.
Although she had the white wolf protecting her, she also believed in the white wolf's abilities.
But it's not as good as having someone by your side to watch over you.
We must deal with Shen Yi's situation as soon as possible, and not give them any opportunity to take advantage of us.
But then there's another problem.
If we bring Shen Yi over, outsiders will know about their relationship.
Shen Yi was poisoned, assassinated, kidnapped, and threatened many times.
She doesn't have to revolve solely around Shen Yi.
Recently, "Shashayao" has been receiving an unusually large number of takeout orders, and all the slightly suitable players under its command have been assigned tasks.
With no one available at the moment, Su Qiu had to take matters into her own hands.
With things piling up, Su Qiu rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Xiao Xitian: "Host, I have accumulated some energy and can locate Shen Yi's position at any time. You can send more people to strengthen protection."
Su Qiu nodded; this was the only option for now.
……
Deep in the abandoned alley, the stench of blood permeated the damp air.
Su Li raised her hand to wipe the blood splattered on her face, her fair fingertips stained with a glaring red.
She glanced at the corpse lying at her feet, her face expressionless.
He turned and walked out of the alley without looking back, his figure quickly disappearing into the shadows at the alley entrance.
"Host, are you planning to finish this in one go and prepare to return to the inland?" Xiao Xitian's voice echoed in my mind.
Su Li continued walking, her voice cold: "Hmm, I have a feeling something unexpected is going to happen. Let's go back as soon as possible."
She took out her phone, dialed a number, and spoke with an unquestionable command in her voice:
"Little fox, prepare a helicopter for me. I need to go back inland."
A respectful reply came from the other end of the phone: "Yes, boss, I'll be there in ten minutes."
Su Qiu hung up the phone and then called Shen Yi again.
The call was connected quickly.
Su Qiu spoke first: "Wait for me at home, I'll be there in four hours."
