"Are you trying to shirk responsibility?"
After a pause, Shen Manni looked at him with disdain.
In this world, money makes the man.
Various family powers are intertwined and complex.
Not to mention the major forces and big families.
Nor the minor forces and small families.
Those coal bosses who struck it rich overnight, or lottery winners who suddenly became wealthy.
With a few million to their names.
They’re all out there keeping mistresses.
Very young and fragrant female college students.
There’s no eternal eighteen, but there are always eighteen-year-old girls.
This is the foul charm of money.
The big families have their own ways of playing outside, while the family turns a blind eye.
Whether it’s the man or the woman, it’s all the same.
For example, if the man’s family is powerful, the woman can only endure in silence.
Or if the woman is powerful, and the man is a live-in son-in-law, he’s even less likely to interfere.
There’s also the case where both sides are equally powerful, bound together by family interests, but after marriage, they each do their own thing, calling their own shots without interfering with each other.
Back to the main point.
Xu Mo’s mouth twitched slightly.
He himself didn’t even know if the sun would rise tomorrow after taking down the Dragon King.
And now he’s being asked to take responsibility?
"Who said I’m not taking responsibility? Since I kissed you, you’re my woman now," Xu Mo declared boldly.
On some future day, Xu Mo, staring blankly at the ceiling, would deeply regret this decision he made years ago.
(ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!
Oh my god, that was reckless......
The stamina buff gifted by the dog system before it disappeared was undeniably amazing.
But working overtime day and night without a break.
Even an iron man would turn into a wreck.
Shen Manni’s face grew increasingly flushed, and she spat out, "You’re so shameless."
"Shameless or not, it doesn’t matter," Xu Mo continued to tease her.
Suddenly, he realized that the foolish woman wasn’t entirely hopeless.
Taking off his tinted glasses.
The foolish woman was actually quite cute and fun.
Shen Manni was initially a bit puzzled.
But when she saw Xu Mo’s ‘lecherous’ smile.
After a moment, it dawned on her.
Dirty talk!!!!!
Did he really think Shen Manni had no temper?
"Don’t just talk the talk, come with me and let’s try it now!"
Xu Mo was stunned.
This isn’t good, is it?
Just finished killing someone, oh wait, that doesn’t count as a person.
After doing all this, instead of finding someone to clean up the mess.
You’re in a hurry to do *that*? You’ve got some nerve.
Shen Manni frowned, displeased. "Hmph, I knew it. You don’t have the guts, all talk no action! Pfft..."
Xu Mo was both amused and exasperated. He pointed at the corpse on the ground and said, "Shouldn’t we deal with this mess first?"
Shen Manni blinked, feeling that Xu Mo made a lot of sense. She had no retort.
Xu Mo facepalmed. A foolish woman is a foolish woman, probably beyond saving in this lifetime.
"Are you thinking I’m stupid?"
"No, I’m not, I never thought that!"
Xu Mo immediately denied it three times, standing straight like an honest man.
Shen Manni wrinkled her delicate nose and let out a soft huff.
Clearly unhappy and displeased.
Xu Mo ignored her and prepared to call someone to clean up the scene.
But just then.
Tap tap tap-----------
The sound of footsteps approached from a distance.
When they saw who it was.
Xu Mo and Shen Manni were stunned.
"Found you."
An Youyi, holding a large sniper rifle, rushed over at an incredible speed.
In no time, she was standing in front of the two.
Like a gust of wind.
Xu Mo was about to greet her.
But An Youyi first glanced at Xu Mo, confirming he was unharmed.
Then she turned her gaze to Lin Fan, lying motionless on the ground.
Without hesitation, she raised the sniper rifle in her hands, aiming it at Lin Fan’s head.
And pulled the trigger.
Bang!!!!!!
A crisp gunshot rang out.
The bullet pierced through Lin Fan’s skull.
His head exploded, blood oozing out.
An Youyi, the ruthless queen, doesn’t waste words.
Xu Shi once had a long talk with An Youyi.
If you ever encounter Lin Fan, severely injured or riddled with bullet holes and unconscious.
Don’t underestimate him.
Put a bullet in his head first.
Or make sure his head is separated from his body.
In short, never leave him alone.
Otherwise, big trouble will follow.
Simply put, don’t hold back.
Shooting the body is one thing, but aim for the weakest spots—the head, the crotch.
An Youyi responded with a simple "Oh" at the time.
But Xu Shi’s words.
She took to heart.
She didn’t want any loose ends.
An Youyi knew a thing or two about Lin Fan’s abilities.
Back to Xu Mo and Shen Manni.
The two of them watched as the Dragon King suddenly put a bullet in Lin Fan’s head.
Not only did it prove that Lin Fan’s head was ripe.
A good melon.
But it also proved that An Youyi was a cold-blooded killer who wouldn’t hesitate to finish the job.
Not even sparing the corpse.
This made Xu Mo and Shen Manni take half a step back.
Out of fear, they instinctively moved closer to each other.
"Do you think she’s so into killing that she might take us out too?" Shen Manni whispered nervously, her lips trembling as she leaned close to Xu Mo’s ear.
Xu Mo swallowed hard. He thought it was possible, but he couldn’t say it out loud.
"Haha-------- You’re overthinking it. I feel like you’re... you’re making something out of nothing..."
Xu Mo tried to use rap to mask his inner unease and fear.
Because after firing that shot, the Dragon King didn’t lower her sniper rifle.
Instead, she blinked, looked at Lin Fan’s cold, lifeless body on the ground.
And raised her rifle again.
Bang!!!!!
Another bullet drilled into Lin Fan’s skull.
The scene was too beautiful to bear~~~~~
Too beautiful.
A killer who’s been practicing for two and a half years has officially arrived.
Xu Mo and Shen Manni took another step back in perfect sync.
Their scalps tingled, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
Just moments ago, Xu Mo thought.
The Dragon King coming over to finish the job was just a formality.
But now.
After Shen Manni’s comment.
Xu Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit of fear creeping in.
At this moment.
Xu Mo forgot.
That Shen Manni, in the past, had used Lin Fan for target practice just as much as the Dragon King.
In fact, she had far surpassed An Youyi.
Lin Fan had been turned into a sieve.
"While she’s not paying attention, let’s... let’s make a run for it," Shen Manni said, genuinely scared, tugging at Xu Mo’s sleeve, her voice trembling.
Her face was pale.
So pale!!!!
As pale as a certain negligible part of her body.
For some reason, Xu Mo agreed with the foolish woman’s idea.
He was scared too.
Maybe... maybe the Dragon King would turn around and decide to kill him next?
Maybe... the Dragon King is an agent of heaven?
Specializing in dealing with transmigrators.
A battle between the Chosen One and the Transmigrator—sounds exciting, or rather, spine-chilling.
Just as Xu Mo and Shen Manni were about to make a run for it.
Leaving the Dragon King to enjoy her little celebration.
The next moment.
"Where are you going?"
Shen Manni shot Xu Mo a pleading look.
The two were silent.
But Xu Mo understood.
He smiled and said.
“I didn’t go anywhere. I suddenly remembered there’s something urgent at the company.”
Shen Manni, as if clutching at a lifeline, nodded frantically.
An Youyi looked suspiciously at her, giving Shen Manni a sidelong glance. “You also have something urgent at your company?”
Shen Manni was nearly scared to death, her heart pounding like a frightened deer, nodding repeatedly.
“Yes, yes.”
“Oh.”
An Youyi didn’t ask if they were from the same company or anything of the sort.
It wasn’t necessary.
She didn’t care.
The Dragon King removed her mask, revealing her stunning features.
A beauty who could easily score a nine out of ten in Xu Mo’s book, all natural, without makeup or any cosmetic procedures.
She was truly one in a million.
Extremely rare.
And An Youyi’s beauty wasn’t just high.
She also had an air of restraint, adding an extra 0.5 points.
Making her a solid 9.5.
Ranking her among the top-tier female leads.
An Youyi walked over to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo and Shen Manni instinctively moved closer together.
It seemed like they were a little scared????
“Did I come at a bad time?”
An Youyi blinked, her expression blank as she stared at the two of them.
Xu Mo and Shen Manni were terrified at that moment.
But Shen Manni knew An Youyi’s feelings for Xu Mo.
The brunt of the fire would be directed at Xu Mo.
All she had to do was silently pray for him in her heart.
Xu Mo’s mind raced, quickly coming up with a solution. He smiled, one arm wrapping around Shen Manni’s slender waist while the other reached out toward An Youyi.
“No, you came at just the right time.”
Being suddenly pulled into Xu Mo’s embrace, Shen Manni’s heart raced uncontrollably, especially with An Youyi glaring at them.
She was utterly terrified, trembling even more.
And then there was Xu Mo’s bold move.
She didn’t understand it.
Holding one girl while reaching out to another.
What was that supposed to mean?
Wasn’t he afraid of getting shot?
Shen Manni thought An Youyi would fly into a rage, and that she and Xu Mo were doomed.
But the next moment.
Something jaw-dropping happened.
An Youyi casually tossed the empty gun to the ground.
And then she threw herself into Xu Mo’s arms.
Letting him hold her too.
The scene was bizarre.
A man holding two women.
Quietly leaning together.
The man’s face wore a gentle smile.
The women’s faces were sweetly smiling.
None of them spoke, not wanting to ruin the rare moment.
Shen Manni felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
She was about to burst.
Thankfully, the moment didn’t last long.
An Youyi launched a surprise attack.
Cupping Xu Mo’s face in her hands.
Not caring if Shen Manni was watching.
She went in for the kiss.
Only Xu Mo knew what was really going on.
It had been days since they’d last been together.
And since it was An Youyi.
Xu Mo didn’t resist too much.
If it had been Shen Manni, Xu Mo would’ve immediately rejected her.
Not that Shen Manni was inferior to An Youyi.
But Shen Manni was inexperienced!!!
Her first time would be clumsy.
Too awkward, even biting Xu Mo’s lip.
It was a loss.
But the Dragon King was different.
A seasoned veteran who had fought countless battles.
She could take an enemy general’s head in the midst of an army.
Kissing was nothing.
She had mastered it to perfection, her skill unparalleled.
In this regard, the Dragon King was far superior to Shen Manni.
Take note.
She deserved praise.
Shen Manni: (,,´•ω•)ノ"(´っω•｀。)
She was utterly confused.
Who was she?
Where was she?
What was she doing?
What on earth was going on in front of her?
Wasn’t she supposed to be a bodyguard?
Why were they suddenly getting handsy?
Shen Manni was so frustrated she could scream.
This went on for about ten minutes.
Xu Mo finally pulled An Youyi away.
And looking into her eyes, he said seriously,
“Stop messing around. Let’s clean up the scene first!”
Seeing the Dragon King about to go in for another kiss, Xu Mo quickly added, “Once we’ve sorted out today’s mess, you can have as much time as you want later, and even go further if you’d like. Okay, Youyi?”
This was the first time Xu Mo had seriously compromised with the Dragon King.
An Youyi thought for a moment, then nodded calmly. “Alright.”
An Youyi’s agreement meant it was settled.
Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
If An Youyi had kept going.
They’d have been kissing outside until noon.
Did Xu Mo have no shame?
Where would the Dragon King’s reputation as the top assassin go?
Some things were better done behind closed doors.
No need to give the onlookers a free show…
An Youyi took out her phone and made a call.
Xu Mo still had matters to attend to.
So he excused himself and left.
He trusted An Youyi and the others to handle the aftermath.
Meanwhile, Shen Manni followed closely behind.
Wherever Xu Mo went, she followed.
“You should go home,” Xu Mo suddenly stopped and said to her.
He was grateful for her help in dealing with Lin Fan earlier.
But now.
There was still the matter of the Dragon King Hall’s forces to deal with.
Such a powerful organization.
With its leader gone.
Someone would have to step up.
Xu Mo didn’t care about their assets.
But leaving them untouched wasn’t an option.
Especially since they were connected to Lin Fan.
Xu Mo wasn’t afraid of a second Lin Fan emerging, but if he could prevent it and nip any potential Lin Fan 2.0 in the bud, wouldn’t that be a good thing?
Shen Manni frowned, her tone turning cold.
“So, were you just trying to make me happy earlier?”
She was steering the conversation in a different direction.
Xu Mo knew she cared deeply about that.
But he still wanted to clarify things.
“You know I’m married.”
“I don’t care.”
“My wife…”
“Your wife wouldn’t care either.”
“Are you really sure you won’t regret this?”
“Stop being so indecisive.”
“Get in the car.”
Xu Mo opened the passenger door.
And gestured for her to enter.
Shen Manni’s heart was racing.
Her woman’s intuition told her.
If she didn’t seize this opportunity today.
It would be impossible to make it happen later.
Because ever since Lin Fan’s death.
Xu Mo had seemed so carefree and unburdened.
As if he had let go of everything.
And that’s why.
Shen Manni had repeatedly brought up this request.
For a young woman like her to take the initiative.
It was incredibly embarrassing.
But in the end.
Xu Mo agreed.
Heaven rewards the diligent.
Ever since that night at the bar.
Shen Manni had decided that Xu Mo was the only man who could ever touch her!
