68: Chapter 68 Jiang Qin's Power

Fang Xun always felt that this Little Green Tea was making insinuations, hiding a dagger behind her smiles, and acting with ulterior motives.

But he had no evidence.

However, Fang Xun understood now—this Little Green Tea was definitely up to something.

She absolutely had ill intentions toward Jiang Qin.

Fang Xun clicked on Jiang Qin's social media post and found that Tang Xiaotang had already taken the lead in giving it a like.

Fang Xun gave a soft click of his tongue before looking at the content of the post.

Jiang Qin didn't use her official identity to thank that Senior.

Instead, she sent out a prayer as a citizen of Dongcheng City.

「It would be great if the Great Sage could see this. Thank you, Great Sage.」

Below this message was a link to a post by the Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau.

Fang Xun clicked in. Setting the content aside, the title alone was extremely eye-catching and not subtle at all.

We sincerely invite Senior to visit the Special Affairs Bureau for a chat.

Fang Xun couldn't be bothered to read the content. Since his sister had said so, he would just make a trip to the Special Affairs Bureau.

It wasn't like he hadn't been there before.

Fang Xun liked the post and exited in one smooth motion.

“Alright, the mission is officially over. Has everyone eaten? Shall I treat you all to a big meal?”

Lu Li put her phone away with satisfaction and looked at everyone.

Jiang Qin really was an obedient child; this mission was completed so easily.

The girls looked at each other and nodded immediately.

“Thank you, Captain,” Jiang Qin thanked her first.

“No need to be polite. Let's go!”

Lu Li waved her hand and led the girls out. As they moved, she saw that Fang Xun had no intention of leaving.

“Hey, kid, let's go. Don't make it look like I'm isolating you.” Lu Li looked at Fang Xun and beckoned him again.

He couldn't still be sulking because she kicked him last time, could he? Didn't this kid hit her back? And she had already paid for the damaged game cartridge.

He couldn't be that aggrieved, right?

Lu Li blinked. Had she really caused some psychological trauma to this little Virgin?

“You guys go first. This seat has great things to do.” Fang Xun tossed his head, wanting to stylishly brush back his hair, but remembering Qi Lian's words, he lowered his hand.

Forget it, I'll change to a signature move.

Fang Xun swung his lowered hand, extended an index finger, and slowly raised it to point at the sky.

“My grandmother once said... Hey, hey, hey, at least finish watching!”

Fang Xun was only halfway through his sentence when Jiang Qin gave him a look of disgust, grabbed Lu Li, and scurried downstairs.

In the end, it was Qi Lian who very thoughtfully closed the door for him.

Truly, thank you, Lian Lian.

As Fang Xun thought this, he took a deep breath.

“Hiss—————— Hu————————”

“Forget it, I see you guys don't understand. This is so cool.”

Fang Xun clicked his tongue hard. After hearing the noise downstairs vanish, he opened the door again and went to the other side of the house.

As soon as he entered this room, Fang Xun mobilized the power within his body.

“Now, my power has become permanent. So, your powers should also let me dispatch a portion of them at will, right?”

Fang Xun looked at the sets of equipment. Unfortunately, the great sage armor hadn't been washed yet; otherwise, just putting it on would have been easier.

“I need some more discreet equipment.”

Fang Xun browsed for a moment and set his sights on a set of red armor.

It was a set of armor that looked as if it were transformed from a beetle. Its red paint had a metallic luster; this was its second-stage form.

Fang Xun hadn't custom-ordered that bulky protective plating, omitting the 'Cast Off' step.

“Kamen Rider Kabuto, it's you.”

Fang Xun opened the glass cabinet containing the Kabuto suit and took out the belt placed on the stand.

Fang Xun pressed the belt against his waist, and it fastened.

The red beetle on the stand automatically flew over and landed in Fang Xun's hand.

“Now, I hold the future in my hands.”

“Henshin.”

「HENSHIN」

「KABUTO」

As Fang Xun's words fell, the red armor actually vanished from the cabinet and appeared directly on Fang Xun's body in a flash of light.

“Transforming like this is quite convenient.”

Fang Xun moved his body. It felt different from the restrictive sensation he had when he first tried it on.

Now, wearing this armor, not only was there no sense of restriction, but he felt power filling his entire body.

It was just like when he wore the great sage armor, yet slightly different.

“CLOCK UP.”

Fang Xun called out again. After this call, everything except him seemed to slow down.

Fang Xun raised his hand and could feel the air resistance, as if he weren't in the air but in a viscous liquid.

But this sensation disappeared a moment later.

This was the power of Clock Up.

The time around him had slowed down.

At the same time, Fang Xun also felt the power of the Fierce Fire in his body being slowly drawn out by the Kabuto armor.

This was the energy source for operating Clock Up.

“Not bad.”

Fang Xun nodded with satisfaction, carefully pushed the door open, closed it, and walked downstairs.

When Fang Xun reached the bottom, he noticed the girls had only just reached the entrance of the residential area.

Only now, their movements had all stopped.

Jiang Qin was greeting Old Man Wang with a sweet smile.

His sister's smile really was sweet.

As for Tang Xiaotang, she was looking at Jiang Qin's smiling face with a look of pure bliss.

He knew it—this Little Green Tea Tang Xiaotang had ill intentions toward his sister.

And Lu Li was looking at messages on her phone, seemingly picking a good place to eat nearby.

Looking at these people in their youthful and beautiful state, Fang Xun couldn't help but think of a certain genre.

Time...

Well, he only thought about it for a second, then obediently went to scan a little blue.

He was a true gentleman, after all.

Fang Xun clicked his tongue a few times, then realized that after time was slowed, even getting the phone screen to light up was a struggle, let alone scanning a code...

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Xun could only proceed on foot.

Wait until Fang Xun had gone very, very far, switching back to the girls' perspective.

“Eh, did something just whoosh past?”

Lu Li frowned; it felt like something had passed by her, yet she hadn't noticed it at all.

“It's Captain, I felt it too.” Jiang Qin sniffed her nose. In that instant just now, it really felt like someone was watching her.

And they had watched for quite a while.

But there was clearly no one nearby.

“An illusion, probably.” Tang Xiaotang was only looking at Jiang Qin and hadn't noticed a thing.

“Maybe Brother was secretly watching us from the window?”

As Tang Xiaotang spoke, she glanced back at the apartment building but couldn't see anything.

“Oh, forget it, let's go eat first. When we come back, we'll bring some for Fang Xun.”

“Jiang Qin, send him a message and tell him not to order takeout.”

“I'm not isolating him, okay?”

“Okay, Captain. I'll tell my brother.”

While the girls were chattering, Lu Li's phone suddenly popped up a message from Wei Heng.

“Come back quickly, Senior has arrived.”
