Chapter: Chapter 373
“Wow, a catgirl, a real catgirl!”
“Xiaoya, calm down! Don’t just reach out and touch her!”
Kira tightly hugged Xiaoya’s waist, preventing the girl from pouncing on Victoria. The poor little catgirl, with Xiaoya’s eyes shining brightly, was so scared that she was out of her mind, curling up in a corner of the sofa with her head in her arms, looking like a pushover.
Why did Xiaoya become like this? No one knew the answer. Anyway, she became like this after seeing the catgirl. Maybe the little catgirl directly hit Xiaoya’s fetish.
“So Xiaoya likes this kind of thing, I get it.” While the younger sisters were making a fuss, this side was a tea party for the adults. Leticia held a cup of steaming hot black tea, with a smile that enjoyed the show.
“I remember that kitten was the one from the auction, right? How did it end up with you now?” Xiaolv was as usual, holding her tablet and not knowing what she was doing. Leticia had glanced at it earlier, and it seemed like she was doing some kind of report.
Sigh, a corporate slave, she didn’t forget to work even when visiting a friend’s house.
“I have some ties with the person who bought this kitten. That person is also a cat beastman. After buying the kitten back, she basically raised her as her daughter. Today, we have quite a few of her peers here, so I brought her to make some good friends,” Leticia yawned and narrowed her eyes as she explained.
After explaining the origin of the little catgirl, Leticia started to settle accounts, “Xiaolv, the last mission was clearly a special drill for the association, how could you lie to me!”
“I only found out the truth after you went in, okay? Before that, I was just as clueless as you, so I’m not taking the blame for this,” Xiaolv immediately raised her hands, indicating that she had nothing to do with the matter. Everything followed regulations. Who knew it would turn out to be a live-action drill?
To ensure the authenticity of this drill, Bai Ling had indeed raided several strongholds of dark forces before entering the drill area. Apart from the people at the very top, no one knew that this mysterious person in black was one of them.
“But your performance last time really made the higher-ups a bit angry. All our S-class heroes were defeated by Bai Jie in a few moves, and only you almost counter-killed Bai Jie. Isn’t this slapping them in the face?” Xiaolv sighed. The heroes of the Hero Association had been having a tough time recently. Everyone knew Leticia was a demon, but who knew this seemingly ordinary demon was actually the Demon King?
In the eyes of the Hero Association, Leticia might be strong, but there was a limit to her strength. They were outdone by her in a real combat situation, how could they swallow that?
But they couldn’t confront Leticia, so they could only vent their anger on the heroes.
“Training is super doubled, tsk tsk tsk, how miserable,” Xiaolv checked a box on an electronic spreadsheet, revealing a schadenfreude smirk.
It was clear that she was quite satisfied with the current situation of her juniors.
“It’s quite normal that they couldn’t beat me. Even though my combat power was suppressed and I couldn’t use my usual weapons, my inherent qualities are there. Ordinary S-class heroes wouldn’t be my match,” Bai Ling didn’t think it was the heroes’ fault. With Bai Wu’s assistance, she was a legendary assassin. How could those heroes who had barely experienced real combat withstand her?
If it weren’t for Leticia, the passing Demon King, Bai Ling would have won that live-action drill with a great victory.
Losing wasn’t embarrassing, but someone completing a counter-kill was very embarrassing.
“Those things do have obvious effects, but they still can’t protect us against all kinds of strange methods,” Bai Ling shook her head. Those things used to suppress gods seemed quite strong, but which god was afraid of them now?
Badges could be carried around, but their suppression effect was not strong, and the quantity was limited, making it impossible to equip every hero.
Cars with metal plates had stronger suppression capabilities, but their mobility became a problem. If a god casually made a few large pits in the ground, these cars would instantly become useless. The suppression range was so small, and which god didn’t have long-range attacks?
Why would they enter this suppression range? Isn’t it better to flip the car with one move outside the influence range?
“That thing is really super rigid, only when the target enters the influence range can it be weakened. Once the enemy is outside the influence range, it has no effect at all,” Bai Ling explained with a bitter face. Humans had been experimenting with these hard-won anti-god items, but the ideal was beautiful, and reality was harsh. These kinds of items were not as good as imagined.
Portable badges and cars both had huge drawbacks, and the biggest one was still being debugged.
“Manufacturing that big one almost depleted the material reserves of Central City. Who knows when the second one will be manufactured. Right now, that thing is just standing in Central City, making Central City look less like an easy target.”
When gods want to cause trouble, can a little bit of weakening stop them?
Not to mention other gods, just take Leticia, the newly appointed god, for example. If she wanted to, she could directly hide in the spiritual space and cause trouble. What could humans do to her?
As long as she was within the range of Central City, Leticia was invincible. How terrifying a being that could easily enter others’ dreams and trap people in dreams would be, it goes without saying, right?
If Leticia got ruthless and dragged all those high-ranking big shots into dreams for a party, wouldn’t Central City be in chaos?
The power of gods wasn’t just in combat power; their functionality was even more terrifying.
Don’t think that a power-suppressing device would make gods cry and shout that humans are invincible. Gods had plenty of ways to turn these things into scrap iron.
This thing standing in Central City was just to make Central City look a bit more difficult to chew on, not so easy to bully.
One has to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. Gods are not stupid. One is a place where one feels uncomfortable upon entering, and the other is a place with no defenses at all. It is obviously more comfortable to cause trouble in the latter, right?
“Indeed, your human mental resistance is truly low. Didn’t you get defeated by my mental magic?” Leticia snorted a few times, looking smug, making people want to beat this smug person to death.
Bai Ling’s expression stiffened. She really wanted to say that her mental magic resistance was actually okay, and the mistake was entirely because Leticia wasn’t using magic at all.
That was divine authority! Yes, she quickly broke free from the illusion, but such a short amount of time could decide the outcome of a battle!
What Leticia said about using a few tubes of blue to smash Bai Ling to death referred to normal combat. They wouldn’t use other means, just head-on clashes.
Once Leticia wanted to flip the table and use her divine authority, it would be better for Miss Bai to run away quickly. Leticia’s compatibility with her was indeed too poor.
If it were another combat-type god, Bai Ling could still fight. At most, her attack would be insufficient and she would be suppressed. But when facing a control-specializing god like Leticia, she would instantly turn into a muggle.
There was no way, the resistance was just so low, what could be done?
Unless a big shot cast a mental barrier on Bai Ling before the battle started, Bai Ling would be completely countered.
It’s normal for a Sword Saint like me to have low mental resistance, right!
Knock-knock-knock, the sound of knocking interrupted their chat.
“It should be the Captain and the others who have arrived.” Leticia quickly got up and walked to the main door, opening it. Sure enough, it was the Captain’s trio.
The Captain, the unhappy Flower Girl, and the cute Key Lady.
“Welcome, welcome. Dinner is still being prepared, so come in and have a seat and a cup of tea,” Leticia smilingly led the three guests into the already crowded living room. “It feels like there’s not enough space.”
This was even with dinner arranged upstairs. If the maids were also busy here, then this small room would probably be crammed to the point of being impassable.
“If you agree, we can renovate the house and connect the adjacent room and the room upstairs.” Hearing Leticia’s complaint, Bai Ling immediately raised her hand to indicate that this problem could be solved. “It’ll be very fast, and it can be completed in a few days.”
“That’s okay, you can handle it then,” Leticia thought the suggestion was good, so she nodded. That way, she wouldn’t have to go out and climb the stairs when going upstairs, which was nice.
As for blinking… is that a normal method?
“Wow, I don’t know what the association has gone crazy about lately, the training volume has more than doubled, I feel like I’m going to die.” The Captain had already plopped onto the sofa, looking burnt out. “Why do I, a support, also have to train my physical fitness? By the time I have to resist, the association will have already collapsed, right?”
Zimeng had already joined Xiaoya’s side, forming a very stable triangular relationship with Xiaoya and Kira. And in the middle of this triangle, was a trembling little catgirl.
Of course, Zimeng’s attention was completely not on the little catgirl. She just glanced casually at this orange kitten, and then focused all her attention on Xiaoya.
Catgirl? Is she as cute as Xiaoya?
No!
Xiaoya is the cutest in this world!
Seeing Zimeng’s eyes spewing light, Kira subtly shifted sideways, blocking Xiaoya behind her.
This guy is becoming more and more perverted. For Xiaoya’s safety, she absolutely cannot let her get close to Xiaoya, Kira decided in her heart.
Seeing Kira’s inconsiderate move, Zimeng gritted her teeth. This black-haired girl is too hateful. Qianqian Jie is so gentle, but why is her sister so annoying?
If this Su Qi could learn even a fraction of Qianqian Jie’s gentleness and thoughtfulness, Zimeng wouldn’t hate Su Qi to this extent.
But their conflict could only be hidden in darkness. In front of Xiaoya, they had to appear intimately close.
Plastic sisterhood, that’s what these two are talking about.
“Are the relationships between children nowadays so complicated?” After complaining about the Hero Association, the Captain looked towards her sisters, and her mouth twitched.
She could naturally see the peculiar relationship between these three girls. Sigh, it’s too much sin, too much sin.
I haven’t even dated yet, and these three little ones are already fighting for favor. This world is not right, not right at all.
“Because you were a nobody in school, always studying or playing games, the people in your class probably didn’t even know you,” Miss Wind Girl said that the Captain was entirely reaping what she sowed. Otherwise, with the Captain’s absolute above-average appearance and great talent, finding a boyfriend wouldn’t be that easy?
“Then why haven’t you, who are so cheerful and lively, gone on a date either?” The Captain immediately retorted. She and Lu Siyu were sworn friends. She hadn’t dated, but Lu Siyu also hadn’t dated.
The Captain clearly remembered that Lu Siyu, like her, had been single since birth for twenty years.
“More than twenty boys and girls have confessed to me. If I wanted to, I would have gotten out of singlehood and become a social butterfly long ago!”
“Then why don’t you agree? Our school doesn’t prohibit you from dating.” The Captain tilted her head in confusion.
“Because I’m waiting for a blockhead to open up.” Miss Wind Girl’s pretty face blushed.
Unfortunately, the certain blockhead didn’t understand her hidden meaning.
“Which blockhead? Who is it? The blond guy? Or someone else? Wow, Siyu, you actually like someone, tell me quickly, I’ll help you get them!”
Dark lines appeared on Lu Siyu’s forehead. She gritted her teeth and hammered the Captain’s head fiercely with her fist, “You blockhead!”
“Hey! I have good intentions, and you treat me like this, Lu Siyu, I’m breaking off relations with you!”
“Break off relations, then you’ll have to organize your own internal affairs and wash your own clothes!”
“Cough cough cough, I think our relationship can be slightly negotiated.”
“No, let’s break off relations. You’re not young anymore, you should do your own chores.”
“Siyu! I was wrong, please forgive my careless words!”
The two on this side also started to quarrel. Leticia and Bai Ling exchanged glances, seeing the same aunt-like smile on each other’s faces.
These two girls, well, they are really cute.
“It’s a bit noisy,” Xiaolv sighed. In such a noisy environment, even if she wanted to work, she couldn’t concentrate.
And when she looked up, she saw Leticia and Bai Ling looking at her, with a hint of pity in their eyes.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Xiaolv摸了摸自己的脑袋.
“Uh, Xiaolv, have you ever been in love?” Leticia pondered for a few seconds and asked in a low voice.
“No, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing, just asking.” Leticia and Bai Ling shook their heads at the same time.
What do you call the ultimate single dog? This is it!
