Chapter 517 - 31: By the Seaside (Part 2)
"If you’re worried, you can take Si Yujie near the coastline and let her bring her daughter along."
Ji Xin seemed still uneasy and added, "Just say to let her go play, she’s clearly more useful than Tang Language, what’s with the idling every day."
I will go to the South tomorrow too but won’t visit any coastal city. I’m not like the mobile troop, unable to move around conveniently, more bound to this wheelchair, but I can be used as an emergency combat force."
"...Alright."
Chen Lusi could feel that Ji Xin was quite invested in this matter.
But thinking about it, it seemed normal.
After all, she’s intentionally using the residual ripple of the Celestial Punishment Weapon to lure external forces to invade.
Because the lure of the Celestial Punishment Weapon, even if they know there’s an issue, won’t let them abandon such a good opportunity, think about it, no one would abandon it, now it’s just a matter of whether they clash right in or choose an alternate path to counteract.
And the reason Ji Xin dared to do such a thing was not only because she didn’t want to passively deal with it anymore and let them secretly plan, but also largely related to the formation of the mobile troop.
A troop led by Chen Lusi, capable of swiftly descending to any location in a short time, is her confidence.
But confidence aside, the only one truly formidable in the whole mobile troop is Chen Lusi.
And there’s still uncertainty regarding what kind of advanced combat power they possess.
Si Yujie finds it hard to leave Celestial Strategy Trading.
And the Celestial Punishment Weapon... external forces, after all, are external, no one can guarantee there won’t be any surprises.
Not everyone who wields the Celestial Punishment Weapon is Chen Lusi.
Anyhow, Ji Xin feels that even if Li Zheng holds the Celestial Punishment Weapon, he wouldn’t be as reassuring as Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi holding a specially shaped Celestial Punishment Weapon reassures Ji Xin, even convinced he could sweep the Russian Orthodox Church’s Pope off their feet, but if it were someone else, it wouldn’t be certain.
So she can only keep adding stakes.
"Hmm, stay safe."
Finally Ji Xin replied with a safety note, as a closure.
Chen Lusi knew it was time to end the conversation, expressed thanks then exited the chat window and continued reviewing the documents sent by Ji Xin.
But.
Just as he switched to those document pages.
Ji Xin sent another message.
A puzzling message.
"I’m actually worried about you, by the way, are you allergic to medicine cmakelvsgs..."
"What’s this supposed to mean?"
Chen Lusi stared at the incomplete message, the seemingly disrupted sequence by phone snatching filled with random English letters, slowly punched a question mark.
"Nothing."
Ji Xin quickly retracted that message and replied, "The dog was pressing the phone keyboard just now, just act like you didn’t see it."
"..."
Chen Lusi fell into silence.
Suddenly he recalled a funny video he had seen before where a man’s confession got rejected, and he claimed it was the dog’s doing.
Ji Xin certainly wouldn’t be that superficial, but to be honest, Chen Lusi was quite curious about what actually happened on her side.
Especially that dog capable of pressing the keyboard and organized speaking...
No, what was he thinking just now.
Thoughts reaching this point.
Chen Lusi suddenly reacted, shook his head, didn’t ponder further, and once again opened the documents sent by Ji Xin.
Black Sun, Buzzard, Slender Ghost Shadow...
Chen Lusi looked at the titles he particularly paid attention to, began to deduce what he might face.
And in that scenario, how he, along with Li Zheng and others, should handle it.
Until.
The sound of a door opened from the bathroom.
Lin Ying walked out wearing a cool strap nightgown, though it’s loose, it couldn’t hide her curvaceous figure completely. The lace-trimmed hem had limited length, barely covering her snow-white thighs, the delicate calves entirely exposed like white jade in the air.
"What are you all doing?"
Upon hearing the sound.
Chen Lusi snapped back to reality, looked at Lin Ying standing not far away, then lowered his gaze, slightly stunned, only to remember Lin Wan was still lying in his arms, still embraced by him.
He’d forgotten this earlier...
Lin Ying saw Chen Lusi not responding, approached in front of her sister, then slowly knelt down, gently pulling her sister’s cheek: "Lin Wan."
Lin Wan tried to pass it off, muttered: "Sister, you’re so pretty."
"Flattery won’t work."
"Then, shall we watch TV? You’re all leaving in a few days,right? Rare time together..."
"..."
Lin Ying saw her sister justifying evasively, gently rolled her eyes at her.
But ultimately.
The sisters still nestled in Chen Lusi’s arms, watching TV.
While Chen Lusi continued reviewing the materials sent by Ji Xin.
And at the same time.
Imperial Capital.
Shanli was also watching TV.
Ji Xin was looking at the same materials, constantly pondering various possibilities, extending an arm intermittently, kept hitting Shanli beside her.
Shanli watched TV while his shoulder kept getting punched by Ji Xin, his expression unchanged.
Though as a keyboard-pressing dog... not resisting the hits seemed a bit strange.
...
The next day.
Li Zheng and others had a proper rest and greeted the local Celestial Strategy Mansion members before leaving Lu City, heading to the next city.
But Tang Language was unwilling to tag along.
Because she thought Li Zheng and the team were too inconsiderate... even meal times were never consistent.
She insisted her ’Tail-Bundling Shuttle’ could catch up quickly, after clarifying their next destination, opted to stay in Lu City.
Li Zheng, considering the scouting, didn’t press this three hundred-year-old who in essence acted no different from a young girl of the Celestial Strategy to follow.
