"How's retirement going? Are you happy?" On the computer screen, a girl who appeared to be in her twenties smiled and greeted Bai Ling.

The girl had short gray hair and looked very capable. Bai Ling could vaguely see the luxurious interior of the room behind her.

This girl was Bai Ling's old friend and the human powerhouse who discovered Bai Ling's talent.

"I'm not sure what to do," Bai Ling sat on the bed, her eyes filled with confusion. "Xiaoya has her own life, and I don't know what I can do for her."

After spending two days together, Bai Ling realized that she was the one who needed to be taken care of. She had little knowledge of daily life and didn't even know how to boil water.

Did someone like her, an older sister, really have any reason to exist?

The gray-haired girl had an expected expression on her face. She had already anticipated the various problems Bai Ling would encounter after returning to a normal life.

"The meaning of life needs to be discovered by yourself. My suggestion is to go out more, make more friends," the girl said.

"Friends?" Bai Ling repeated softly.

In her more than twenty years of life, she had never had any friends. As a child, she was ostracized by peers because of her different hair and eye colors. There was no room for friendship.

Later, she became the Star River Sword Saint and, as a sword saint, she had no friends or comrades. She was always alone.

The closest person to her was probably the pilot she flew with every time she went on a mission.

Naturally, she also recognized the somewhat fierce but kind-hearted muscular man.

"I was going to say you should find a boyfriend, but seeing you like this, it's better to take it slow," the girl chuckled. Her voice gave a sense of trustworthiness, whether it was her talent or ability.

"What are the retired heroes doing now?" Bai Ling asked.

She wasn't the first retired hero, and she wouldn't be the last either.

Before her, many heroes left the Hero Association for various reasons and became ordinary people.

The most famous ones were those predecessors who had turned the tide thirty years ago when humans first encountered the alien race.

By the time Bai Ling joined the Hero Association, those predecessors had faded from people's sight. In other words, they had retired.

"This is top-secret information," the girl winked at Bai Ling. "But since you asked, I can tell you."

"The 'Great Sage' became a teacher after retiring. His teaching skills are remarkable, and his students love him. 'Diva' went back to her old profession and is now a popular singer. 'Thunderfire Fist' became a fitness coach and is quite popular."

The girl casually mentioned several famous heroes from a few years ago. Their retired lives were colorful.

"They are doing well," Bai Ling said softly, not sure if she felt envious or some other emotion.

"As heroes, they had flaws, but now they have overcome them," the girl paused and continued, "and I think your problem is the easiest to solve."

"Make some friends, play with them, and you will gradually adapt to this world."

"For example, that girl downstairs, you can definitely be friends with her. She's around your age, just a bit of a homebody."

Her? Leticia? Bai Ling's expression became more interesting.

Was Senior Sang serious?

"This girl called Su Qianqian, I checked her background. She comes from a good family, and her academic achievements were good before. I just don't know why she turned out like this after graduation."

"That...Su Qianqian..." Bai Ling wanted to remind the gray-haired girl about Leticia's true identity, but the words were swallowed back down.If Senior Sang were to find out that Leticia is living here, something bad might happen.

If a battle were to break out in Central City, Bai Ling would not have the strength to protect the safety of the city and the lives of its residents.

Leticia appears harmless now, but Bai Ling knows that deep down, that black-haired girl still harbors the soul of an unwilling ordinary person.

That soul of a demon king is currently deeply sealed, but when the time is right, the demon king will break free from her shackles, announcing her return to the world.

"I will do my best," Bai Ling nodded.

Therefore, the best way is for her to be the strongest chain herself, as long as she doesn't let Leticia out of her sight, the demon king will have no chance of returning.

In this way, she is also contributing to the world.

"I feel like you're hiding something from me, Bai Ling," the girl with gray hair said thoughtfully, propping her chin up.

"Hmm," Bai Ling did not deny it.

"Can you tell me what it is?"

"Susan Su is very strong," Bai Ling raised her head and said seriously, "I will take care of her."

"Oh, I see..."
