198: Chapter 199 Arrival in the Underground City, Ji Shuyue's Jealousy
The two sisters both wore long twin-tails today. As they moved, their hair swayed gently, the ends brushing against their fair necks and making their necklines appear even more slender. Their soft hairstyle exuded a youthful, girlish charm.
However, this soft and cute feeling was broken by the outfits they wore.
Both were dressed in skin-tight black tactical suits. The glossy fabric clung to them like a second skin, precisely outlining the tightness of their waists and the smooth curves of their legs.
Light fell on the material, shimmering with linear glimmers, as if coated with a thin, bright film of oil.
Their high heels clicked on the white porcelain floor with a crisp and rhythmic sound.
The two walked to the table and, with perfect coordination, sat in the empty seats to the left and right of the middle person. As they sat, the soft and shiny tactical suits let out a dry rubbing sound with a subtle elastic resonance.
Chen Qi stood at the edge of the rooftop with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be looking down at the city aimlessly, but his fingertips were tapping a light beat behind him, as if everything was under his control.
Faint footsteps came from behind him. He didn't turn around until the figure drew close. Only then did he slowly turn sideways and give Piao Xiuying a slight smile. "You look... like you're feeling a bit of heartache?"
Piao Xiuying shook her head, forcing a smile to her lips as she spoke respectfully, "It is their honor to sacrifice themselves for Young Master Chen's career."
Chen Qi raised his hand, his fingertips running through her short hair while his thumb gently caressed her earlobe. The movement carried a hint of casual intimacy, but his voice was filled with an indisputable certainty. "This is all because you taught them well. You've worked hard."
"It is also my honor."
"Don't be sad. When you go to the Du Family, I will use any means necessary to make the entire Du Family submit to your feet, allowing you to return home in glory."
Piao Xiuying was stunned. "Young Master Chen, you'll let me go back?"
Chen Qi rubbed her cheek with the back of his hand as if coaxing a child. "The Du Family is a first-class Family. Once you control such a Family, wouldn't you want to go back and show those poor relatives from before your current glory?"
Piao Xiuying's eyes lit up, as if the scene of those people from the Cui Family being dumbfounded had already appeared in her mind. Yesterday you refused to help me in my time of need; today I will make myself someone you can never hope to reach.
...
At the entrance of the Underground City, Yun Zhuo had just put Teacher Su down when she turned around, her back to him as she fussed with her long hair.
Yun Zhuo had flown so fast that the wind blowing her hair against her face felt like being slapped.
Right now, without even thinking, she knew her hair must be as messy as a chicken coop.
"Here."
Yun Zhuo handed a wooden comb to Teacher Su.
Teacher Su instinctively took the comb and began to brush her hair.
But after a few strokes, she suddenly froze. Holding the comb, she asked Yun Zhuo, "This comb isn't mine, nor is it my sister's. Where did you get it?"
Yun Zhuo's heart skipped a beat.
He had only wanted to make it convenient for her to comb her hair, but he forgot that this comb was something he'd casually put into his spatial bracelet after combing Sister Zhenzhen's hair when they were out in the wild last time.
If she found out this comb belonged to Sister Zhenzhen, she would definitely snap it in half.
"What do you mean by that?" Yun Zhuo asked back.
Teacher Su was stunned. "What do you mean, what do I mean?"
"Think for yourself."
"You!" Teacher Su grit her teeth, holding the comb. "Whose comb is this?"
"Give it here, let me see."
Yun Zhuo took the opportunity to take the comb back.
Teacher Su snorted coldly and pointed at the comb. "Have you remembered? Who does this comb belong to?"
Yun Zhuo grabbed her shoulders and turned her around so her back was facing him.
"Your hair is as messy as a chicken coop, yet you're still worried about a comb. I really don't know what you're thinking."
"You..."
"Don't move. There are surveillance cameras all around here. You wouldn't want people to see you looking like this, would you?"
As Yun Zhuo spoke, he began to comb Teacher Su's hair.
Hearing that there were cameras around, Teacher Su indeed stayed still.
Once Yun Zhuo finished combing her hair, she turned around and immediately began her interrogation. "Speak. Whose comb is it?"
"Haven't you already guessed? It's Sister Zhenzhen's."
"Heh, you admitted it yourself."
Teacher Su grabbed his clothes and pulled hard, but instead pulled herself right in front of Yun Zhuo.
"Don't you want to know why her comb is with me?"
"Why?"
"Because I combed her hair last time."
"You..." Teacher Su instinctively reached out to pinch his waist.
"Wait a second, don't you want to know why I combed her hair?"
"Why?"
"That's a question for you."
"For me?"
Teacher Su suddenly felt like her brain had stalled.
"Yeah, think carefully about why that is."
"Is it because I'm not good enough to you?"
"Hey, you said it. Remember to be nicer to me in the future, or I'll go comb Sister Zhenzhen's hair again."
"Pah, it's not like that."
"Then how is it?"
"I... you, hurry up and return the comb to her."
Yun Zhuo smiled slightly. He had finally managed to deal with this situation.
"I promise the next time I see her, I'll return the comb immediately. If she asks why, I'll say my wife doesn't let me take other people's things."
Teacher Su finally nodded in satisfaction. "You said it. If you dare not say that, just wait and see how I deal with you."
"Then wifey, let's find a place to stay first, before all the good spots are taken."
"You're not planning to block them here anymore?"
"Haven't you noticed? Everything we do here can be seen clearly by those outside. And that person outside will not only tell Chen Qi everything but will also give him advice."
"Just like letting them take a shortcut."
"If that person opens a separate entrance for them, blocking this place would be for nothing. We might as well go pick a good spot first."
"Aren't we going to hunt for peach crystals?"
"Didn't Sister Su say? The school won't release the Mutated Beasts until tomorrow."
...
Ji Shuyue stared at the holographic screen, her brows furrowing unconsciously. "'Wife, wife,' calling her so affectionately. You know there are cameras watching, yet you have no shame."
"By the way, who is Sister Zhenzhen? Why is there another Sister Zhenzhen around that kid?"
Thinking this, she suddenly paused. "Could she be a nun from Nun Village?"
Looking at Yun Zhuo on the holographic screen laughing and joking with Teacher Su along the way, she thought, "Why is this kid so likable wherever he goes? Can't you be a bit more restrained?"
But then again, what does this have to do with you, the Principal? Why are you, a Principal, getting jealous here?
Other people in the school saw that Yun Zhuo wasn't blocking the gate and couldn't help but look disappointed.
"Why isn't that kid blocking the gate? With his skills, wouldn't the remaining five Elite Guards be insta-killed by him in one move?"
"I didn't see that move clearly before. I thought I'd have a chance to see it again. What a pity the kid isn't blocking the gate."
"Didn't you hear the kid say they've called for outside help? If they open another passage, wouldn't his blocking be in vain?"
"Who do you think Chen Qi's outside help will be?"
"Aren't you asking the obvious?"
"Wait, didn't we all bet on that kid's death? Isn't your focus all wrong now?"
"Damn, if I'd known, I would've bet on that kid winning. That was a one-to-a-thousand payout."
"Don't you think it's a bit early to regret? Chen Qi hasn't entered the field yet. Don't forget he has three level 40 War Princesses, and eight Elite Guards haven't died yet."
