Chapter 718: Unexpected Situation (3k)
“Miss Su, that person impersonating me didn’t do anything strange to you, did they?”
Just as Su Jiu was pondering the difference between soup dumplings and white rabbits, a gentle voice sounded behind her again, laced with laughter, giving off a very official vibe.
This feeling arose in contrast to Miss Weir, who had given her a very “normal” impression.
“Alright, alright…”
Hearing this, Su Jiu patted Ziyi’s head, gently pushed the girl away, and then turned around, only to meet a face with a slight smile, familiar yet strange, it was the Mayor’s Daughter—Liu Qian.
After a pause, Su Jiu suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and responded, “No, nothing like that. That thief who impersonated you left after I saw through them.”
The woman before her was the real Mayor’s Daughter, not the White Dove from the illusory dream.
Hearing this reply, Liu Qian slightly nodded. Her light brown eyes casually swept over Ziyi, finally landing on Su Jiu’s face, and she asked with a smile, “Did she say anything offensive to you?”
“Offensive remarks, what do you mean, Miss Liu?” Su Jiu countered calmly.
“Miss Su, you’re a smart person. There’s no point in saying some things. You should understand what I’m talking about.”
Her eyes narrowed, Liu Qian maintained her gentle smile, but her tone had grown a bit colder, deviating slightly from her gentle and approachable anime girl persona.
Sensing something was wrong, Ziyi hid behind Su Jiu. Her grey pupils fixed on the Mayor’s Daughter, whispering in a very small voice:
“Last night, after she was rescued, she asked Sister Li about yesterday’s situation. When Sister Li said we were all in the room, her attitude towards me became strange. She kept asking if I heard any gossip that day…”
“Heh, I haven’t heard any offensive remarks. If Miss Liu has nothing to hide, she shouldn’t worry about crooked shadows.”
After a faint laugh, Su Jiu subtly blocked Ziyi, who was clinging to her shoulder like a possum, behind her. She naturally understood Ziyi’s meaning…
But knowing didn’t mean she had to respond.
“Miss Su Jiu, if you hear any sensitive information, please forget it. Knowing too much might not be good for you.”
Hearing Su Jiu’s indifferent tone, Liu Qian decided to drop the act. Her words gradually became colder, and a small short sword appeared in her hand. She rubbed her fingertips and suddenly swung it towards Su Jiu’s right arm!
A翠green slash shot out from the blade, moving incredibly fast, almost instantly reaching Su Jiu’s eyes. She knew it was a warning and was about to raise her hand to block it.
“Be careful.”
A clear female voice came from her ear, and a powerful force came from behind. Ziyi pushed Su Jiu to the other side, and as her body was about to hit the ground, she gently caught her, as if holding a beloved doll.
“You…”
Feeling the soft flesh beneath her, Su Jiu lowered her head to look at Ziyi. Just as she was about to ask if she was alright, the latter sighed in relief and whispered in her ear:
“She’s War God Level. Miss Su Jiu, don’t provoke her yet. Those who are arrogant will eventually fall.”
Looking at the girl holding her, Su Jiu felt that strange feeling surge in her heart again. The girl’s concern felt like more than just friendship.
“This scent…”
Being held, Su Jiu rested on the girl’s shoulder. The cold fragrance reached her nose again. She glanced at Ziyi with a hint of confusion…
Is it because of the street, or…
“Did you see that?”
Looking at the two who had fallen, Liu Qian twirled her golden curly hair around her finger and let out a soft hum before continuing,
“Some things are not for you, a Priest, to meddle in. Miss Su, I want to tell you one thing: give up that worthless kindness.”
Her icy voice echoed through the street. After speaking, Liu Qian’s face returned to its anime-cute girl smile, as if she hadn’t said anything. Then she walked towards the alley behind the flower arrangement.
“This woman is truly a smiling tiger. If I were truly an ordinary Priest, I probably would have had my hand cut off today and wouldn’t dare to say a word.”
Su Jiu looked at the woman’s retreating back, a cold glint in her eyes. She admitted that the Mayor’s Daughter had indeed angered her, starting a conversation and then resorting to violence.
If this wasn’t human territory, she wouldn’t mind letting the other party feel what it meant to interfere and what the gap was…
As she thought, the girl suddenly smiled.
But I can’t use force, can’t I disrupt the investigation?
The Mayor’s Daughter’s actions sparked a desire in Su Jiu’s heart to cause trouble. Become a shit-stirrer—you like investigating?
Then, as long as poachers appear, let these Shadow Guards go out and cause trouble, disrupting the investigation routes.
She then took a deep breath and instinctively used her hands to support herself, but she seemed to touch something soft. She saw the soft owner tremble slightly but didn’t show any particular resistance.
As her palm touched the softness that felt like freshly made soup dumplings, she pinched it. Su Jiu seemed to remember something, and her expression instantly became extremely strange…
Her neck stiffened as she slowly lowered her head. She saw a pair of slightly surprised, pretty eyes looking at her with a hint of shyness. The next moment, that small voice sounded again:
“Classmate Su Jiu, you… stop pinching. This feeling is very strange.”
“I… I… didn’t do it on purpose.”
Looking at the small face that wanted to push her away but was also shy, Su Jiu’s body trembled. Her mouth opened and closed, but she quickly got up. However, as she used her strength to stand, she inevitably pressed against the softness under the Priest’s robe again.
This time, her knee even happened to hit the young girl’s legs. The thighs under the Priest’s robe wanted to clamp shut, but it seemed to suppress something, choosing to indulge…
“Mmm… Su… Classmate, hurry up and get up.”
Ziyi hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands. As her small mouth opened and closed, white mist rose slightly, and there was even a tremor in her voice, but her cheeks showed no blush.
“I’ll go ahead and take a look first. You can come over later.”
Seeing the girl panting, Su Jiu didn’t dare to linger. She quickly got up, glanced at the girl still covering her eyes with her hands, also felt awkward, and hurriedly started running towards Mr. Kyoung-soo.
She gradually lost any ulterior thoughts about Ziyi. Why would such a misunderstanding happen today?
People were coming and going. Fortunately, the girl was lying in a somewhat secluded spot. People thought she was drunk and didn’t pay much attention.
“Was she doing that on purpose?”
After Su Jiu had completely disappeared, the girl clamped her legs together and then stood up, leaning against the wall and walking into a small alley nearby. After only a few steps, a Gugu Bird landed on her shoulder from the power line and let out a sharp cry:
“The theater is set. Awaiting the Young Lady’s performance.”
She glanced at the Gugu Bird without paying attention. Instead, she lightly traced a dotted line along her neck with her fingers, then pulled upwards towards her head. The latex mask, along with the wig, fell off. In an instant, golden hair cascaded down, slightly curly.
As the sunlight fell into the gaps, illuminating the girl’s slightly reddened cheeks, it revealed a purely European-style pretty face. It was somewhat childish, but possessed a delicacy rivaling that of a silver-haired elf. However, compared to melancholy, it had a more unrestrained and shrewd air.
A white dove landed on her shoulder, making her stand like a radiant and free iris in a corner, satisfying any fantasy of a European beauty.
The so-called Ziyi was actually Weir, who had disguised herself earlier.
Weir patted her slightly burning cheeks, the image of the pointy-eared figure flashing in her mind. She couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, muttering to herself, “Was I too forward?”
The Gugu Bird’s beak opened: “Young Lady knows she won’t get hurt, so why did she throw herself onto her?”
“Because she is Ye, someone even younger than me.”
Taking out a green ring from her pocket and putting it on, Weir fumbled in the ring and took out a bottle of perfume labeled ‘Ziyi’. She sprayed it on her neck and armpits, softly saying:
“Grandpa said that White Doves should protect the existence of Night in the light. At night, Crows will guard the Watchers to sleep soundly.”
“Young Lady, girls can also get married and have children. The Lucas family needs an heir.” The Gugu Bird sneered, spread its wings, and flew to the wire above the alley, hopping around as if guarding against something.
“If you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak.”
Hearing this, Weir felt a phantom sensation of being pushed from below. She shook her head, trying to forget the feeling. Then, a playing card appeared in her hand, and with a flick of her arm, it flew towards the Gugu Bird, even whistling through the air.
“Whoosh!” A few feathers fell.
The bird narrowly dodged, then looked at the scraped feathers, lowered its head, and screamed, “Are you crazy!! You’re really going heavy on me.”
“Serves you right for being so talkative…”
Weir smiled, a piece of mint-flavored bubble gum appeared in her hand. She put it in her mouth, blew a bubble, and then asked,
“Tell me, is there anything else?”
Realizing that the other party wasn’t joking, the Gugu Bird stabilized itself and replied in a deep voice, “Butler Borayle asked me to tell Miss that today the streets are not quiet. Some people want to take action under the guise of poachers. He hopes you will deal with those restless individuals.”
“Don’t worry…”
After finishing all this, Weir walked out of the alley. The latex mask and golden hair on her hands disappeared, leaving only strands of green silk hanging down. She pinched her throat, and the next moment, she uttered Ziyi’s voice:
“I will do it well.”
…
Meanwhile.
Su Jiu’s mind kept replaying the sensations from her hands and knees. It was an elastic feeling, the kind that an athletic girl would have…
Ziyi, who looked like she would get breathless just walking, her feel should be similar to Little Foolbird’s, right?
Suddenly, a voice from afar interrupted the girl’s daydreams:
“Pastor Su, you’re finally here. Someone here is injured…”
