Chapter 307

One Hundred and Seventeen Pages The Avengers Assemble

[5:40 PM]

[Secret Passage Hut]

I gathered the members suitable for executing a beheading operation.

Xiao Hai Tang, Bei Qiao Jue, Sister Miāomiāo, and Sister Qiàn were present. Unfortunately, Xiao Lei was taken away by Sister Qiūluó; otherwise, her physical capabilities would have been helpful.

If not for the need to keep secrets, I would have liked to rely on the security forces of Bìyáng Girls’ School. Those fierce sisters hit hard, and they would surely make the Glorious Family regret their actions.

“Xiao Kai, I really need to talk to you. At least I’m a new-generation girl idol; how can you treat me like a mere enforcer all day?”

Sister Miāomiāo’s complaint was reasonable, and if she could put down her 30kg dumbbell, it would be even more convincing.

“Don’t worry, Water Nana is also a voice actress idol, yet she can still punch a bull.”

The dumbbell was thrown over, grazing my waist and creating a hole in the floor.

Awakened by the commotion, Bei Qiao Jue stretched and asked, “Uh, everyone’s here, right? Are we waiting for someone else?”

Xiao Hai Tang replied, “We still need a photographer.”

“A photographer?”

The door to the hut opened, and Senior Shàojié walked in with a camera, taking pictures of Xiao Hai Tang.

“Yah-ho! Who called me? Is it Hai Tang?”

Xiao Hai Tang rolled her eyes and waved away the camera.

“Since you’re here, don’t eavesdrop at the door. Our time is tight.”

“Then, put these on first.”

Senior Shàojié tossed a few brooches onto the coffee table. I knew these were essentially cameras.

“Senior Shàojié, we’re going to raid the place today. Why wear these?”

“Think of them as body cameras. They can gather intelligence, and I won’t leak the footage. If you’re not convinced, you can wear them on-site.”

Although I thought they weren’t necessary, I took one and put it in my pocket.

“Let’s go.”

The transparent jewel orb circled the room, then bumped the light switch by the door, turning off the lights in the wooden house.

“Yah-ho! We’re here!”

Cherry Sauce teleported directly to the office AJ rented.

“Little Lingmèng?”

No sign of AJ, but Sister Yǐjī was sitting by the bed tending to Brother Long Tāo.

“Sister Yǐjī, where’s Sister A?”

“She went out to buy food.”

It was indeed mealtime. Ling Hua rubbed her stomach and said, “I’ll call her and ask her to bring extra meals up.”

The place was still bare, with minimal furniture and appliances. The only valuable item was the computer Sister Yǐjī used for live streaming. However, there were several large and small gift boxes on the desk.

Noticing my gaze, Sister Yǐjī explained, “The landlord came to visit this afternoon, bringing some milk and roasted chicken. They promised to improve the security of the office building soon, but we’re supposed to keep this a secret.”

They were afraid that losing the sole tenant would affect other office rentals… But trying to silence us with just a few items, this landlord was quite stingy.

“We’ll head out to find Mǐ Hóngqū once Sister A returns. But before that, I’ll turn Long Tāo into Long Ji.”

As long as the transformation heals all wounds, Long Tāo shook his head and painfully sat up, clutching his abdomen.

“Hiss, wait until AJ arrives to transform! I want her to see the moment when male Long Tāo disappears forever,” he said, looking a bit embarrassed.

I laughed, “Your words make me feel like a big villain.”

Long Tāo just smiled and didn’t deny it.

Sister Yǐjī looked behind me and asked, “Will Lei Miāomiāo and the others join us too?”

“I’ve seen Xiao Hai Tang at noon, and Sister Miāomiāo and Sister Qiàn are familiar. Let me introduce these two.”

I pointed at Qiao Jue, who stood straight cooperatively.

“This is Bei Qiao Jue, the all-around sports committee leader of Bìyáng Girls’ School, with excellent physical fitness, so she’s quite capable in combat.”

She waved modestly, “I’m not that good at fighting; I’m much worse than Hai Tang.”

“I don’t think people should compare themselves to mobile suits in terms of combat power… Ouch!”

I was kicked in the butt by Xiao Hai Tang and hopped around holding my bottom.

“This is Ling Shàojié, the president of Bìyáng Girls’ School News Club, here to gather evidence at the scene, not a fighter.”

Senior Shàojié grinned mischievously.

“I know everything about you all! It’s such a rare story from father to sister!”

Exposed, Sister Yǐjī blushed from embarrassment, her eyes wandering, unsure how to respond.

“Senior, be serious today!”

I pushed her behind me and boasted to Sister Yǐjī, “Don’t underestimate these girls! Including Sister Miāomiāo, the four of them are equivalent to a whole battalion! Iron Fist Idol can punch bulls dead!”

“The same joke twice in a chapter, are you trying to pad the word count?”

I was hit in the back, nearly passing out.

“You may know me, but let me introduce myself… Almost done. My past doesn’t matter; my current name is Long Yǐjī. I’m a irresponsible father, and also a sister seeking redemption.”

Wow, she really admitted being a sister!

I secretly observed Long Tāo’s reaction, but with his beaten-up face, it was hard to read his expression… Was he crying or laughing?

“Sister Yǐjī, you don’t have to go this far…”

“No, I will strive to become what Tāo hopes I become.”

I hope her mindset isn’t too extreme.

Perhaps feeling neglected, Yòu Zi climbed onto the table, stretching her body and shouting loudly, “What about me?”

“Oh, and this little one… Its name is Yòu Zi. Treat it as a talking magical creature.”

“It can accompany you in fights!”

I lifted Yòu Zi by the nape of her neck and threw her to Ling Hua.

“Think you can fight with your small physique?”

She puffed up her expensive mink fur and clawed at Ling Hua’s chest.

“Don’t underestimate me! I can transform too!”

“Oh! So cute!”

Yòu Zi’s adorable behavior made Sister Qiàn cover her mouth and blush, a very feminine gesture.

She added, “Just saying, I’m not much of a fighter. Don’t count me in.”

“Sister Qiàn, you can cheer others up and give them buffs! Just a little jump can boost morale!”

“Jump…”

Hearing my playful tone, Sister Qiàn retaliated, “Always leaving the fighting to us? Are you even a man?”

She questioned my gender. Before I could respond, Ling Hua answered for me—of course, in a teasing manner.

“As a man, Xiao Kai can’t fight. If she wants to fight, she has to turn into a woman… No, should I say a goddess?”

Cherry Sauce wouldn’t miss any opportunity to mock.

“—Hehe! Your girlfriend thinks you’re weak! You need to show her your masculine strength!”

I can’t fight… What do you want me to do?

“—Xiao Kai, get her pregnant!”

…That’s a bit too hasty, isn’t it?

Click—

Click-click—

Ling Shàojié suddenly took photos of Long Tāo on the bed.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t worry, it’s not for a report. After tonight, there won’t be a male Long Tāo anymore. I’m taking a few photos as a keepsake.”

“His face now, it’s better not to take any photos!”

As a man, the last photo left behind was of a pig-headed fool.

Realizing this, Long Tāo’s already unappealing bruised face became even uglier.

——————

About ten minutes later.

AJ returned from outside, holding a wet umbrella.

“It’s raining heavily, I took a taxi back! Sorry for making you wait so long! Come eat **!”

She brought several buckets of fried chicken, burgers, and cola from the commercial area, plus the roasted chicken from the landlord. This meal had an unusually high chicken content.

“Sister A, aren’t you usually careful about a balanced diet? How come you’re not keeping your figure?” I asked.

“It’s okay to indulge occasionally! There’s a concept called a cheat meal that prevents the body from entering a low metabolism state!”

Maintaining her usual optimistic attitude, AJ fed the boyfriend french fries with ketchup.

“Wait! Isn’t that all ketchup?”

Long Tāo was troubled by AJ’s prank.

On the other hand, Yòu Zi caught my attention. The little one seemed to love AJ’s scent. Ever since AJ fed her a piece of chicken leg, she clung to AJ’s shoulder and kept burrowing into her hair.

“Yòu Zi?”

She peeked out, “Xiao Kai, why did you call me?”

“Do you like Sister A? You didn’t cling to her like this in the restaurant booth earlier.”

AJ scratched Yòu Zi’s chin.

“Hehe, I also like fluffy small animals!”

Using “rub cheeks” (causing damage and paralysis), Yòu Zi answered my question, “She smells nice! I like it!”

“Nice smell?”

Out of curiosity, I leaned close to AJ and sniffed her hair…

—”Sniffing a girl’s scent, that’s a bit perverted, you know.”

Hmm, there was a unique fragrance, both soothing and pungent.

“Sister A, did you spray perfume today?”

To my surprise, AJ’s cheeks turned red.

She turned her head and explained, “Little Lingmèng, I’m a model! Isn’t it normal to dress up when going out?”

Her demeanor was unnatural. Given her flirtatious personality, showing shyness was unusual. There must be a story behind this scent.

At the same time, Sister Qiàn also caught the scent—a gossipy one.

Looking at Long Tāo on the bed, Sister Qiàn said to AJ, “This perfume was given by your boyfriend, right? What’s there to be shy about?”

“Yeah… We wanted to try a proper date yesterday, so Tāo bought this for me. It’s the first formal gift I’ve ever received.”

AJ still blushed, her usually carefree demeanor suddenly becoming shy. This contrast was surprisingly… appetizing, I ate a few bites of original chicken.

“Xiao Kai, I want that perfume too! Can I?”

Yòu Zi couldn’t sit still, enthusiastically slapping AJ’s shoulder.

However, I did owe her a better perfume…

“Sister A, how much does this perfume cost?”

“Oh, it’s not too expensive…”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

“Maybe around 2,800?”

I was out of breath.
