Chapter 512 - 29: The Opponent Could Never Have Predicted This
"I know..."
The little girl looked at Si Yujie for a while, then weakly nodded.
"Take these things with you."
Si Yujie smiled gently at her words, once again rubbing her head, and then handed her the talismans just forced out of Chen Lusi at the table: "If mom isn’t around in the future and you run into trouble, summon Chen Lusi."
The little girl reached out to take them, then was just about to keep one and return the others to her mom, but discovered Si Yujie had already moved her gaze and was somewhat distractedly looking toward the exit.
"..."
The little girl looked up at her mom’s side profile, then lowered her head, holding the talismans drawn by Chen Lusi with some disappointment.
Tang Language also noticed Si Yujie’s distraction; she stood for a while, then hesitated before awkwardly saying: "Si Yujie... Should I help you take care of Xiaoyan for a while?"
"Hmm?"
Si Yujie snapped back to reality, looking at Tang Language.
"I said, should I help you take care of the child for a while?"
Tang Language took a deep breath and then angrily said: "That way you can go play, I’m free recently anyway, Chen Lusi doesn’t need me around at all, he’s much more capable than I am..."
Upon hearing this, Si Yujie frowned and desperately hugged her daughter: "What do you mean? You take care of her?... I’d rather go to the pet shop and buy a dog."
Tang Language, hearing this, widened her eyes, immediately got angry and snapped: "Huh!? What do you mean!? I’m worse than a dog?"
Si Yujie blurted out: "How can you compare with a dog?"
"Si Yujie! You! I’m really blind! I actually sympathize with you, you idiot! I’m going to fight you..."
Tang Language stepped forward, ready to act, but seeing the little girl, she feared scaring her and forcibly restrained herself, fuming impotently.
Si Yujie watched her indifferently, letting her jump around.
A few minutes later.
Tang Language exhausted herself with cursing and stopped, panting.
Only then did Si Yujie quietly say: "Thanks."
"Thanks!? What do you mean by thanks!? I, Tang Language..."
Tang Language reflexively exploded again.
But halfway through her outburst, she suddenly sensed something was wrong and froze in place.
Momentarily crashed.
...
At the same time.
Chen Lusi, holding Lin Ying’s hand, walked out of Celestial Strategy Trading, preparing to return to Qinyuan and Mansion to hand the ’Summoning God Talisman’... or accurately, Chen Lusi Summoning Talisman, to Lin Wan.
Because he wasn’t sure when he might set out for the coastal city.
Although theoretically, he’s not supposed to leave these days.
But ever since Chen Lusi joined Celestial Strategy Mansion, nothing has proceeded according to the original plan.
He’s already mentally prepared.
"Chen Lusi."
Lin Ying looked at Chen Lusi’s back, suddenly speaking: "What were you talking about just now?"
"Just now at the front desk?"
Turning his head upon hearing this, Chen Lusi saw Lin Ying nod, then relayed the incident of Si Yujie asking him to draw a ’Summoning God Talisman’.
"Oh—"
Lin Ying elongated her tone, then reached out to gently tug Chen Lusi’s ponytail, her cheeks puffing slightly: "You really are popular, appealing to everyone from teenage girls to three-hundred-year-old ones."
"..."
Chen Lusi’s ponytail was tugged, forcing him to stop.
He paused for a moment in silence, then turned back softly: "Sorry."
"Turn around first."
Interrupting him, Lin Ying released his ponytail with a half-joking, half-annoyed glare: "I haven’t finished yet."
Though somewhat puzzled, Chen Lusi turned around.
"..."
Lin Ying slowly retreated a few steps, then looking at Chen Lusi’s back, suddenly dashed forward and leapt onto his back.
Upon hearing the footsteps behind him, Chen Lusi prepared himself.
As Lin Ying jumped up, he immediately wrapped her round and flawless snow-smooth legs, catching her.
"Always able to catch me..."
Lin Ying rested her smooth white chin on Chen Lusi’s shoulder, hooking his neck, lying on his back, and after marveling, continued: "Though you’re popular, that ’Summoning God Talisman’ was originally for me and Lin Wan, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Lusi replied.
Lin Ying affectionately rubbed against the back of his head, blushing: "Then carry me home, carry me well, and I’ll forgive you."
Saying nothing, Chen Lusi simply lifted her higher, his expression gentle.
"Chen Lusi."
Lin Ying buried her face half in his neck, lightly biting him, then softly said: "Thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Chen Lusi, slightly puzzled, tilted his head.
"You tell me."
Raising a pink fist, Lin Ying gently hammered Chen Lusi’s shoulder: "Idiot."
...
That evening.
Li Zheng and others officially set off, heading to the coastal city near the eastern coastline.
Simultaneously with Li Zheng’s departure.
On the endless sea horizon.
A figure, wearing traditional yellow-black string sandals, and a white Divine Master’s Robe sped fast across, came to the temporary base, and looking at the waiting few people there, directly spoke: "Confirmed, the Celestial Strategy Mansion members on that side have indeed all been reassigned."
"Then we’re sure to break through in that direction?"
The Empowerer from Mujin New Church, slightly displeased, looked at the man in the Divine Master’s Robe and frowned: "Are you sure there’s no trick? I can’t believe Celestial Strategy Mansion would make such a rookie mistake."
"I’m not as dumb as you."
Sniggering disdainfully, the man in the Divine Master’s Robe spoke.
Despite the cooperation due to Hecate from the Roman Catholic Church, this didn’t mean relations were harmonious.
In fact.
Both sides always found each other disagreeable.
This cooperation was only out of mutual necessity.
Hearing the words, the Empowerer from Mujin New Church immediately erupted in anger: "What do you mean?"
"I said you’re dumb, can’t I see what you see? We wouldn’t choose a blatantly abnormal direction."
The man in the Divine Master’s Robe shook his head, bluntly critiqued him, then waved his hand, unfolding a map in front of everyone.
Then.
Without waiting for the Mujin New Church’s Empowerer to speak, he directly conjured a knife made of spirit and thrust it fiercely into a particular spot on the map confidently: "We’ll break through here! The Celestial Strategy Mansion won’t expect this!!"
