Chapter 33.3 The Unseparable Pair of Reincarnated Childhood Friends
“You say my younger sister will be in danger?”
The air trembled, and a chilling atmosphere spread around.
As this rhetorical question was uttered, the surrounding air seemed to solidify.
My body shivered, nearly collapsing from that immense pressure. It was as if the naive, emotional, and slow parts of my heart had been completely removed.
So calm, so terrifying…
I had never seen Juncheng like this before, as if he had transformed entirely.
It’s not that I had never seen him like this, but that was during a different life. In this current life, Juncheng was just…
However, the Juncheng of that previous life was a constant presence on the battlefield; being cold-blooded was only natural.
This gentle… Could it be that he’s being influenced by his past life’s memories again because of me?
“Oh, so scary, so scary! Juncheng when he’s serious is too frightening!”
“I’m not in the mood to joke with you. If you want to live, I won’t tell you anything. Keep your mouth shut, and be respectful!”
To still have the mood to tease others in this situation?
While not exactly terrible, it was definitely quite bad.
This personality, which was completely out of sync with the atmosphere and prone to talking to oneself, didn’t need to be spoken aloud to reach my ears, though it seemed like she was trying to act like it.
Lord Juncheng placed his hand on Li Nai’s shoulder and slowly leaned towards her.
I immediately used my Divine Ear spell and managed to overhear Lord Juncheng’s words. They carried a terrifying pressure, making one want to kneel.
This was clearly the other person’s bottom line, and Li Nai, who was joking about this matter, had just run straight into the line of fire.
“It’s really… it’s really…” Li Nai’s eyes were wide open, and she stared at Lord Juncheng without flinching. Her eyes were far more intense than I had imagined.
Facing such a Lord Juncheng, her body, despite its resolute posture, was still being shaken by that immense spiritual pressure, rendering her immobile.
Normally, the person closest would bear the brunt of the pressure, but she seemed unaffected.
And here was Li Nai, standing right in front of Lord Juncheng.
Instead of being affected, she took a step forward, embracing Lord Juncheng.
Her hands pressed against the middle of his back.
“Inside… it’s all hollowed out now, isn’t it? Is that okay?”
“It’s just returning to its original state. I thought that perhaps those flamboyant, showy words were not fake after all? Now it seems they weren’t.”
*Heh, so it’s not the ‘Jun’ of gentleman, but the ‘Jun’ of king…*
What did she mean by that?
Did Li Nai discover something? Why was Lord Juncheng silently contemplating?
“It’s like suddenly transforming from the oblivious protagonist of a harem anime into the villain of a suspense thriller.”
Both of them are… where is the change? The scene itself is filled with them. But the two of them, who are now embracing, are completely different from the way they were at Li Nai’s home.
“He’s a prospective serial killer targeting your sister.”
“Be more specific.”
“You’ve probably already guessed what a prospective serial killer is, right?”
The organization has compiled lists of them.
Anyone who can be “eliminated” is on the surveillance list.
As expected, the organization wouldn’t be unprepared. They had only one purpose: to maintain balance, neither leaning too far towards humans nor excessively suppressing the “ghosts.”
A truly efficient organization.
“She’s just as lively and cute on the outside as I am, but actually full of bad intentions, my sister.”
He had truly figured out Miss Keling’s true nature?
This is not to be underestimated. Na, who exactly are you?
“Who?”
“I can’t tell you that anymore. However, even if I don’t tell you, you’ll be able to find out, won’t you?”
“Why do you know this? What department are you from? I’m your senior, you know! This level of information…”
“Hey, hey, haven’t you forgotten what kind of organization you joined?”
“It’s not impossible to investigate, but it would require effort. It’s just that… with *that* organization, I can assume this, right?”
“Heh, you could say that.”
“You’re in a ‘passive’ state.”
These words were meant to clearly draw a line.
If Li Nai was representing the organization, then this was practically using her family’s safety to threaten Lord Juncheng.
He would probably consider leaving the organization.
“So, what are you going to do?”
Li Nai finally let go of Lord Juncheng, stepped back a few paces, and asked with a smile, her hands behind her back.
“The organization’s motto. You told me yesterday.”
“You’re saying you’ve only been here for a short while? That’s not right, is it? As a ‘part-time investigator,’ I should have the same treatment, right? Since that’s the case, shouldn’t I also be allowed to mobilize a department?”
“The Principal said she would give me ‘external employee’ status.”
“That is correct. Do you intend to use the organization’s power?”
“The subsequent… the aftermath… I will resolve it myself.”
“It was just asking for a small favor. There will be a reward. The most important…”
“This is where I get to be useful. I will be by his side. I can’t let Lord Juncheng go to settle scores alone. I must definitely…”
“I’ve gotten the message. Then, what do you want me to repay you with? I still haven’t thought of a gift for Mom.”
This was a truly unexpected request. A gift for her mother? No, it definitely wasn’t… but what else could it be?
I felt a sense of familiarity.
And somehow, I felt that it was very much in character for Li Nai to do something like this.
“Just that?”
“No, this reason is very good. It has changed my impression of you.”
“What does that mean?!”
“It means you are indeed a person of ‘outwardly the same, inwardly the same’.”
“Hmph, I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“I’ll go with you to pick out a gift before Sunday.”
“I also need to pick out a Mother’s Day gift. Before Sunday…”
“I’ll remember! Then, bye-bye, Juncheng~ See you tomorrow.”
“Come visit again if you have the chance. Mom really likes you.”
“If you were really like that, she wouldn’t have lectured you for so long today. Look at others…
“I’m telling the truth! It’s strange even to me, Juncheng. You’re not that handsome, so why does Mom like you so much? Hmm, okay, okay.”
“… I see. I’ll come again if I have the chance.”
“I thought you would never want to come back to this place again.”
“That’s what I originally thought, but now I feel… this place…”
With that, Lord Juncheng turned and walked towards the subway without looking back.
I quickly followed, needing to get in before the subway doors closed.
As I passed by Li Nai, she smiled and waved at me.
“See you, Bai Xuejie. Bye.”
I hadn’t dispelled my invisibility spell at all. She still spoke to me, and even knew my exact location.
Or perhaps she was just pretending. This meant that although she knew I was present, she was acting as if I wasn’t.
Of course, it was also possible her perception was that good. In my eyes, she became increasingly inscrutable.
Now that I knew she wasn’t a simple “pure student,” she appeared even more mysterious in my eyes.
The subway doors slowly closed with a metallic screech and began to move.
Lord Juncheng was sitting with his legs crossed, his eyes closed in thought.
Silently waiting…
I didn’t go over to disturb him, but stood across from Lord Juncheng. As if sensing me, Lord Juncheng suddenly opened his eyes and called out.
After more than ten minutes, the subway left that inner world and returned to the human realm.
“Yu Hui.”
He called my name.
I immediately dispelled my spell and appeared before Lord Juncheng.
“Yu Hui is here, awaiting your command.”
I had already prepared myself to be at his service.
Lord Juncheng had noticed my presence long ago.
“You told me last time that if I needed money, you would help me.”
“Yes, the usable amount is approximately 800 million. Of course, if that’s not enough, I can still…”
“I’ll tell you the approximate amount needed later.”
“That’s enough. We probably won’t need that much. I’ll transfer it to you later.”
“Understood. I will transfer it immediately once you notify me.”
I wouldn’t ask Lord Juncheng where he intended to use the money.
That was enough.
Whatever he wanted, I would give it to him. My purpose in this life was to become his personal wish-granting machine, nothing more.
Whether it was to be his shield or his ATM, it didn’t matter.
I had already made my decision, dedicating this life to him. If he had any requests… Though you might say there were no requests, I’ll just note it down first.
“I won’t use your money in vain. I can find a reason for you to accept my support.”
“Then…”
Lord Juncheng once again tilted his head back and called out to the void.
“Hey, Lanhua, you’re watching me now, aren’t you? No, you don’t need to reply. If there’s no reply, I’ll just assume you’re looking at me.”
Lanhua, that person who was constantly watching me, was currently… However, she would re-install herself later and have countermeasures.
Although I had interfered a few times, she was still very troublesome.
There were four people. I would temporarily turn a blind eye. At least for now, while she was no longer on Lord Juncheng’s side. And through her, I could still find Lord Juncheng.
If I couldn’t keep an eye on Lord Juncheng, or if I couldn’t keep him safe, I would have to find a way to break free from her. But Lanhua was still like a puddle of mud standing beside Lord Juncheng, impossible to remove. This time, it’s really gone.
“Immediately investigate who has approached Keling recently.”
“Why not leave this to me? Isn’t this giving that woman a chance to sneak in?”
“However, only when I’m not around, don’t forget to do anything to me.”
“That’s acceptable, then…”
When Lord Juncheng is not around, sneak into his room.
In fact, that woman used to frequently come to his room when Lord Juncheng was not around.
And now, she had obtained her master’s permission, making it legitimate. She responded in just a few seconds.
Lord Juncheng took out his phone to check the text message.
But I couldn’t help but glance at it.
If you need to spy on Lord Juncheng’s… Just leave it to me! Lanhua, I promise I will perfectly complete my mission! Then I can freely enter… *Ah, Lanhua-chan is going to level up!*
My brain is fried, this woman.
It was disgusting, forcing her twisted love onto Lord Juncheng with arrogance.
The subway arrived at the station, and Lord Juncheng hurried home.
After confirming she was home, he returned to his room.
After that, I stayed until 1 AM before Lord Juncheng fell asleep.
Well, I should head home too.
Once Lord Juncheng falls asleep, he rarely wakes up…
I’ll stay here tonight.
After all, if I leave like this, the window will be unlocked.
Therefore, nighttime protection is also very important.
Even if Lord Juncheng is at home… I crawled into Lord Juncheng’s bed and lay down with him.
As soon as the thought of finding some excuses for myself popped into my head, I quickly shook my head.
No, it’s not an excuse at all!
… Close-body protection is also necessary.
That’s right, this is also a form of protection.
Bai Yu Pao.
It has nothing to do with my past life. This is my ‘current life’.
Well then, goodnight, Juncheng…
…
