"Hao Jian, I want to leave here," Xie Qianqian suddenly said.
Actually, she wanted to say this to Hao Jian last night, but after being disturbed by him, she forgot about it. She had originally co to find Hao Jian to talk about this matter. She hesitated in her heart for a long ti, and after much deliberation, she finally said it.
Hao Jian looked at Xie Qianqian, completely not expecting her to say this out of the blue. However, this was already within his expectations, as everyone has their personal freedom, and he naturally couldn't interfere.
Hao Jian said, "Alright, that's your freedom. You can leave anyti. Now that the Murder God is dead, no one will deliberately harm you. I feel relieved if you leave now. But... if there's anything I can help with, just say it. I'll do my best, whether I can help or not!"
"Okay." Xie Qianqian nodded. At this mont, she was very grateful to Hao Jian in her heart.
"After I leave, I want to go to the place where the Murder God adopted
and then search for my biological parents. Although I don't know if they are still alive, or whether they deliberately abandoned
or if I accidentally got lost, none of that matters. I must find them and clarify everything." Xie Qianqian suddenly said.
Hao Jian knew a little about Xie Qianqian's background because she had unintentionally revealed bits of it, which he heard and rembered it. He knew that since she was a child, she had no parents and wandered the streets, getting bullied by others and peers. Later, the Murder God took her and trained her to be a top assassin.
Now, with the Murder God dead, no one was restricting her personal freedom, and no one would stop her from investigating her real origins. Now was a ti she could pursue her wishes.
Hao Jian understood Xie Qianqian's feelings well and shifted from his usual mischievousness to beco very serious.
"Well, I support you. If you need manpower, just let
know. I'll have Spice Ginger send soone to help you investigate, and use so connections to make it faster," Hao Jian said.
Xie Qianqian, however, shook her head. "No, I want to do it alone."
She knew that if Hao Jian intervened, with his power and network, the truth could be discovered quickly, whether her biological parents were dead or alive or whatever the situation was.
But she didn't want that. Even though she was protecting Shu Ya recently, she was very clear that compared to protecting Shu Ya, being under Hao Jian's protection so the Murder God didn't bother her was far more significant.
In the past, those who betrayed the Murder God or failed tasks and fled were all captured by him. She knew their fates, none of which were good; they all ended horribly. At that ti, Hao Jian could have easily killed her, but he did not. Although he let her protect Shu Ya, it was actually insignificant.
If not for Hao Jian's protection, she would have been caught by the Murder God in a few days with unimaginable consequences. So, to her, she was even more grateful to Hao Jian.
Because of this, she already owed Hao Jian a favor, and she didn't want to owe him more. If she did, she felt she'd be unable to repay him, so she refused Hao Jian's offer, wanting to sort out things on her own.
Seeing Xie Qianqian determined not to accept his help, Hao Jian didn't push further, understanding her expression.
At this mont, Hao Jian suddenly showed a sly smile, looking at Xie Qianqian, then said, "You don't want my help, but you have to agree to one request of mine."
"What request?" Xie Qianqian furrowed her brows, looking puzzled.
Hao Jian suddenly stood up, looking at Xie Qianqian with a playful attitude, and said, "You shouldn't ask too much about this. It won't be interesting if I tell you; just let
know if you agree or not. If you don't agree, I won't say anything."
Xie Qianqian turned her face away, pouting, "Then don't say it. I didn't want to hear it anyway."
Seeing Xie Qianqian being so stubborn, Hao Jian, as the master trickster, was not fazed by her antics. In the rogue world, he was the grandmaster, and when a small rogue t the grandmaster, the small rogue would naturally be helpless.
Hao Jian said, "You don't have to agree. Anyway, I have ways to find out things. If you don't let
help you investigate, I'll just do it anyway, and find out everything before you do."
"You..." Xie Qianqian, upon hearing this, felt helpless and didn't know what to say.
Hao Jian saw Xie Qianqian being forced to such an exasperated expression by him, and laughed heartily, then cheekily said, "So? Have you made up your mind? Are you going to agree or not, you better think it through."
Xie Qianqian was so mad at Hao Jian that she stomped her feet, but since she couldn't do anything to him, she just turned her head away and reluctantly said, "Fine, I agree, but only on the condition that you don't make any excessive demands. If you go too far, I'll just drag you down with , mutually dissatisfied!"
Hao Jian nodded in satisfaction, saying, "No problem!"
Xie Qianqian said, "Then just say it, stop beating around the bush, or I'll leave and not bother with you."
Hao Jian grinned mischievously, then pointed at his face, saying, "Kiss !"
Xie Qianqian saw that teasing smile on Hao Jian's face, and she had initially thought that all his efforts were to get sothing more significant, and here it was, for a kiss—a true rascal is still a rascal, everything is related to being cheeky.
What's tolerable is tolerable, but this is not! How could a proper young lady, waiting in her chamber, go and kiss that shaless face? It would devalue her worth and let him take advantage! No way, not a chance in hell, not even over her dead body.
Xie Qianqian then turned her head aside and said, "Buzz off, what kind of request is that! If you want a kiss, go find a mirror and kiss yourself, I'm not going to do it."
Xie Qianqian's tone was assertive, allowing no room for Hao Jian to speak.
Unexpectedly, Hao Jian put on the face of soone unfazed and shalessly said, "You agreed before and now you're backing out. Okay, since you won't kiss , I'll kiss you then. Anyway, a kiss is a kiss, I'll let you take the advantage!"
Wait, she thought, sothing is definitely wrong with Hao Jian's words. What do you an if I don't kiss you, you'll kiss ? Did I ever allow you to kiss ? Especially the last sentence, letting
take your advantage? Sorry, you kissing
is taking advantage! When I see you, a big rascal, I can't avoid you fast enough. Letting you kiss , what a joke, go to hell!
With that thought, Xie Qianqian grabbed a small pillow from the sofa and threw it at Hao Jian, who didn't mind getting hit and even seed pleased. Hitting is affection, scolding is love; this is Qianqian's love, deeply like the ocean.
"Get lost!" Xie Qianqian said.
Yet Hao Jian still behaved shalessly, saying, "These are things you promised before; you can't go back on your word. If you do, don't bla
for using force—I refuse to believe I can't get a kiss."
Xie Qianqian made a stop gesture with her hand: "From now on, you better stay away from , otherwise if anything bloody happens and it all gets out of hand, I won't be responsible, Mr. Hao Jian."
As the saying goes, the powers of evil often exceed those of good; Xie Qianqian made it clear that she wouldn't let Hao Jian kiss her, yet Hao Jian had another trick up his sleeve to catch her off guard.
Hao Jian extended his two big claws, making grabbing motions, then mischievously said, "In that case, don't bla
if I don't hold back. Don't worry, I'll be very light and gentle."
Hao Jian said this as he slowly walked towards Xie Qianqian. As soon as she saw those big claws, she imdiately rembered the events of last night, was frightened out of her wits, and backed up a step. But the more she backed away, the faster Hao Jian walked towards her, still sporting that teasing look, raising his eyebrows, wearing a lewd expression, and continuing the grabbing motion. In short, he was just a big rogue!
Xie Qianqian was scared out of her wits and found herself backed into a corner by Hao Jian. At this point, she had nowhere else to go. As Hao Jian continued to approach her and was about to touch her, she scread out loud.
The piercing scream was so loud it could shatter the skies, reaching even three rooms down. Li Xin and his four early-rising friends were already up and gathered in Jiang Long's room when they heard that devilish scream and perked up their ears.
Li Xin asked, "Could sothing have happened?"
Jiang Long, accustod to these situations, casually replied, "Oh, it's nothing. They're young people, it's all very normal. Let's just understand it as such."
Li Xin and the others, who lived on the edge of danger, either facing knives or blood, knew little of love and romance. It wasn't until Jiang Long explained that they understood, exchanging knowing glances and laughing together.
Still, in the back of their minds, they thought about how exhausting it must be, ssing around at night and again first thing in the morning. Where did they get so much energy!
