"Wait, what kind of creature are you?"

Hei Tong interrupted and asked.

Upon hearing Hei Tong's question, the "sun" in the sky was clearly taken aback and then asked,

"Human, don't you recognize me?"

"How would I know you? You're as blinding as the sun in the sky. Who could tell what you are?"

Hei Tong said loudly, although it was inappropriate to say it at this time, it was indeed a serious question.

After hearing Hei Tong's words, the suspended "sun" found it reasonable and said, "Alright then, since you, a weak creature, want to see my appearance..."

Boom!

Qian Jiu clearly felt that something was wrong. The Fangtian Halberd in his hand immediately flew out,

The Fangtian Halberd collided with the flames, finally saving District D2 from being destroyed in this devastating wave of attacks.

"You bastard!!!"

Qian Jiu's arm bore burn marks. Although he had neutralized many of the flames, some still found their way onto him.

"I will hold this monster off. Hei Tong, go contact the Black Fox and tell him to come quickly!"

"Why should I call him? He's useless..."

"Now is the time. Those who haven't experienced death cannot become the strongest warriors! Hei Tong, do you remember how you gained your power?"

"I..."

"Trust me, we must find him now and help him overcome his fears so that he can regain his strength."

"Uh... does he have any strength?"

"Of course he does. He made us suffer enough before. It was your idea to bring him back, so you should come up with a solution!" Qian Jiu didn't buy Hei Tong's excuse. He knew it was his idea originally, so he didn't want to burden others now.

...

Gradually, I could feel a icy cold wind blowing around me. I seemed to be... falling... at an unimaginable speed.

Faced with this extremely dangerous situation, I was paralyzed with fear and could only scream in panic.

"Ah ah ah ah ah..."

"Ding ling ling ling..."

The loud sound of various bells woke me up from my deep sleep. I wiped my nose. Was it the school bell for class?

"Uh... isn't this the school clinic? How did I end up sleeping here?"

Muttering incoherently at the foot of the bed, Youxiang said, "I really can't eat anymore. So much sushi..."

... How outdated is this sleep talk?

"Hey, you're kidding, right? Youxiang, are you awake?!"

I tried to shake Youxiang's cheek, but she was still sleeping like a dead pig, except for the blissful smile on her face, the only difference was the pool of drool on the bed.

"Geez, don't you have any sense of defense?" This is the worst sleeping position I have ever seen, just like a dog curled up at the head of the sickbed.

"Never mind, let's first check the time."

But I didn't bring a watch or a phone, so I couldn't confirm how late it was. I looked around the clinic.

Finally, I found an old-fashioned wall clock behind the office desk.

11:13!!!

In terms of the classroom, today's meeting is the once-a-year study tour abroad for the second year of high school. Hopefully, we didn't miss it!

"The chairman of Yunhai Academy specially organized more than 5,000 students from our school to go to the barren eastern part of Sglafei Africa, one of the countries personally visited by the famous diplomat Zheng He..."

"Sorry for being late!"

Upon my arrival, the incessantly talking Mr. Ximo on the podium immediately pretended to be weeping with joy in front of me, sobbing, "Words are useless. Since you came late for the first time and even apologized, please go back to your seat for now."

I was sarcastically attacked by the class teacher as soon as I entered the classroom. It seems that the previous me was a well-known professional in being late.

At that time, I only knew that there were many people commenting on what the teacher said. But I didn't know that this trip would involve us in a horrifying secular event.

"In other words, after we finish negotiating with the head of the government of that country, we need to take their plane and go to the local government's office to report."

Yuanhui, who suddenly understood what the teacher meant, sarcastically gave a thumbs-up to the teacher, making a face as if to say, "I understand your awkward situation."

"Wow, Sakai is so amazing and knowledgeable..."

Being able to directly scrutinize the teacher's family situation naturally attracted the admiration of many girls.

"Just normal, just normal, hahaha!"

Being surrounded by flowers (girls) feels really great. Sitting at the back of the classroom, I was already gnashing my teeth with envy, glaring at him.

"Psh, animal!"

Yuhi, sitting at the desk next to me, spat at me with a disgusted face, and then cursed.

The language of abuse combined with her sharp and vicious gaze caused me great harm, equivalent to 15,000 wounds... Our relationship had just eased a little bit and now... sigh!

In a hurry, I quickly resumed my serious state and tried my best to please her.

"Are you jealous?"

I leaned in closer to her and tried to test her.

"Alright, I won't be like him... um, I guess I was just thinking too much?"

No matter what I said or how I coaxed her, she always maintained an indifferent look and briefly revealed a disgusted expression... Well, obviously, she's not jealous of me.

"It's good that you know. I simply dislike you, hope you don't misunderstand!"

Oh dear, oh dear, big sister is angry. Isn't a gentlemanly and courteous demeanor good enough?

"Yuhi, don't be angry anymore. Look, how about this dress?"

Hehe, you should know that the best weapon against women is shopping, and besides the white silk dress she is currently wearing, Yuhi only has the strange costume that is likely to get her in trouble at the police station.

"Sir, madam, how about taking a look at this one?"

The shopkeeper on the side awkwardly recommended various clothes to me, and all I had to do was hand them over to Yuhi one by one, hoping to get by.

"They're really ugly... These clothes have no taste, no thank you!" Yuhi stubbornly turned her head and said, "In the end, you're just pretending to please me, right?"

She has such keen intuition... I was stunned for a moment but immediately regained my composure and explained to her, "You misunderstood me. I mean, wearing some lively and cute clothes can help you get along better with your friends!"

"Hmph, anyway, the clothes in this store are outdated and ugly. How many times do you want me to say it for you to understand!?"

"Well..."

It seems like she's really angry, but why is she targeting me?

Beep beep beep...

Just when my phone started ringing at this moment, I didn't have the energy to think about anything else. I hurriedly answered the call, trying to hold back the sweat dripping from my forehead.

"Hello, this is Juxi, may I ask..."

"No, no, the matter you're dealing with is surely not as important as mine right now. Goodbye!"

Before the other person had a chance to say anything, I managed to hang up, using one of the 36 strategies of dealing with phone calls - hang up quickly!

"Sister Youxiang, this morning I was just joking, you don't have to take it seriously, right?"

The weather forecast is really untrustworthy. It clearly said it would be cloudy, but suddenly it turned into a gloomy day. And it's that kind of oppressively suffocating feeling. Girls wouldn't be in a good mood when invited out in this kind of weather.

"Let's forget about it today, although I forgive you..." Seeing Youxiang's attitude towards me easing up a bit, I immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

But the irritation wasn't over yet. Youxiang's attitude suddenly turned stubborn again and said, "But!!"

"But... what?" I pretended to playfully ask with a smile.

It turns out there are conditions... so I asked with a mischievous face.

Sister Youxiang, however, was not at all moved by my funny act. Instead, she pointed her thumb at the clothes displayed in the center of the glass wall.

The clothes were uniformly purple in color, not particularly eye-catching in style, but the contrasting dark color on the seams had a perfect effect. The thickness of the fabric made it comfortable and tight-fitting, suitable for both summer and autumn seasons.

After carefully evaluating the appearance of the clothes, it was time to consider the price - 360,000 yen!!

The price of this piece of clothing is simply outrageous!

"Do you really want to buy this...?"

I was about to persuade her to show some mercy when I turned my head and couldn't see Youxiang's figure anymore. And then, inside the clothing store...

"Wow, boss, this one is really great, I've decided on it!" She had already run into the clothing store while I was talking, and she took the initiative to say that she wanted to buy it. Youxiang, who was wearing that piece of clothing, was attracting a crowd of onlookers in front of the mirror, twisting and turning her waist.

"Wow... such a beautiful girl, is that her boyfriend?" "Although she's cute, she seems pretty average, she must be a rich kid. Look at the clothes she's buying, they're not..."

Suddenly, I noticed that there were more whispers behind me, which made me feel like I wanted to escape but had nowhere to go... How could I have such thoughts, after all, she's Youxiang... I took out my bank card with tears in my eyes.

"Boss, take care, welcome back next time!" The store manager and Youxiang, one sold a piece of clothing and made money, the other bought a desired piece of clothing and was very happy.

However, as I followed through with the payment, I remained silent the whole way, unable to express my bitterness!

Beep beep beep... The damn phone rang again at the most inconvenient time. I quickly smiled apologetically to Youxiang beside me, and turned my back to her and on the other end of the phone, I scolded, "Whoever you are, I'm busy, tell me..."

"Boss, it's me... Regarding the information about the Elena Group, I've already gathered almost all of it!"
