"Thank you," Xu Shu said, unaware of what expression Tang Ying wore on the other end of the internet.
He had many ssages to reply to one by one.
The next contact, coincidentally, was also an old friend who was a Second-Order, and even had the sa profession as Tang Ying, "assassin."
This friend Xu Shu had t when he first arrived in Penglai.
Her na was Hong Yan, originating from the family force known as "Blood and Fire Platform."
That was in Snake Spirit Villa of Xinglong Manor. Xu Shu had just bullied the avatar of Big Black Snake Mother. When he returned to loot the place, he found Hong Yan tied up in Turtle Shell Binding, her slender waist and shapely hips accentuated by the binding. If it hadn’t been for his tily rescue, she might have been made into human dumplings.
And Xu Shu received her gratitude—A special residential introduction letter unique to the Penglai Region, although he never used it.
Hong Yan also congratulated him: "How could this be... You actually advanced to the list so quickly... Haha, I knew it, darn it, I knew it! You and her are definitely of the sa kind! I’ll catch up sooner or later, don’t underestimate , waaaaah!"
"..."
Xu Shu’s expression showed slight hesitation.
This girl’s congratulatory words seed a bit too intense.
Without thinking much, he chose a polite reply: "Well, may you succeed?"
"Thank you!!!" Hong Yan sent a string of exclamation marks, followed by, "My family didn’t give you any trouble, did they?"
"No."
Xu Shu wasn’t lying; her family hadn’t troubled him, because he hadn’t encountered them at all.
Hong Yan continued: "That’s good, when I return to the city, I’ll treat you to a nice al, as a gesture of welco. Of course, if you still think of as a greenhorn."
"Hong Yan, you’re joking. Next ti, definitely." Xu Shu smiled slightly. This fiery girl’s straightforward nature was refreshing, without becoming suddenly sycophantic due to their growing disparity in strength, which made him feel very comfortable.
The next few ssages also ca from acquaintances.
For example, the first one:
"Comrade Xu Shu, no doubt the chosen of my Lord! So glad to see you to spread our Lord’s holy na worldwide, and propagate His grace!
"With a genuine witness like you, I’m sure my Lord’s brilliance can bless more lost souls. May the Lord always be with you! Look forward to eting you! I will be your guide, bringing you back to my Lord’s presence, to serve devoutly!" — Wuxin, Fourth-Order Rakshasa Ming King.
Xu Shu graciously declined this Extinguishing Road Traveler’s invitation: "Thanks, I’ll find a chance!"
Then the second ssage:
"Naughty Xu Shu! Alice is ho alone every day, Alice is good; Xu Shu sneakily climbs the list without going ho, Xu Shu is bad!" — Alice.
Xu Shu patiently replied to the ho guardian cat: "I’ll be back tonight."
And the last ssage...
It didn’t co from the Ascension Network.
It ca from next door.
The little girl with the bowler hat suddenly stood up, one hand on her hip, stretched out the other hand, her chubby pink index finger poking Xu Shu’s forehead, lowering her voice to say:
"Oh dear, Xu Shu brother must have been having a great ti these days, right? Throwing all the trouble to , ignoring , and what big things could you be doing, sneaking off to mate with so enchanting demons, right? Isn’t that right? Really, you’re such a bad guy!"
Xu Shu was startled.
He scrutinized the little girl, only about one ter twenty tall, for a good while before recognizing her: "Ah, you are... Little Ya?"
In front of him stood a blonde, blue-eyed little girl, sporting heavy smokey makeup, and strictly speaking, her appearance had nothing in common with Zhong Xiaoya from before, looking entirely like a distinctly Gothic girl.
But... height and speech intonation were exactly the sa.
Considering those who would speak to him in such an impolite tone seed to be only this Judgent Departnt bigwig, Xu Shu observed closely and finally discovered.
Turned out Zhong Xiaoya wore a golden wig, playing a role!
The profession "chanical Expert" among the Transcendents is very special; they can stay at ho while using an "Imaginary Structure," a puppet almost indistinguishable from a living person, to act in their stead.
Xu Shu didn’t know if this was even Little Ya’s true self or just a puppet; all he knew was the identity wasn’t wrong.
"Call Jiang Chengzi seniors!" As he expected, after being revealed, the Gothic girl gritted her teeth, angrily removed the wig, took off her brows, eyes, nose, and all the props, and sat down, reverting to the original cute little girl form.
Xu Shu nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Senior."
"Say it again!"
"Okay, Jiang Chengzi sister."
"Hmph! Such a coincidence eting you here, actually, I didn’t plan to find you, but considering you’re actually on the list, I’ll give you a chance; help out later." Zhong Xiaoya raised her head, looking up at Xu Shu.
"Sure, thinking of when you need sothing makes very happy." Xu Shu heard and smiled.
When Little Ya showed a smile, he shifted tone, saying, "But your tone, I don’t like it. So I refuse!"
"You?! Annoying scoundrel! You think I’m here for nothing..."
Little Ya was incredibly angry.
Her eyes suddenly shifted, as she flopped onto Xu Shu’s lap, hugging his neck, leaning close to breathe in his ear, chuckling: "Heh heh heh, dear brother, one shouldn’t wish for news of a man publicly harassing a little girl on a train to go public, right?"
