Helpless

“Ahem, ahem... Be serious.”

Li Jiaxin released Feng Siruo, her pretty face turning stern and expressionless.

She looked as if she meant business.

Feng Siruo was startled, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.

An Youyi was the world’s number one assassin.

Though she sometimes appeared clueless and harmless, that was just her nature.

Those who had seen her other side were now buried under grass taller than a person.

Feng Siruo didn’t dare to look at An Youyi.

She whispered to Li Jiaxin,

“Sister Li, I’ve arranged the house for you, and everything you need is already inside.”

Li Jiaxin smiled and patted her fragrant shoulder, “Well done. You truly are the woman I’ve chosen.”

“Let me take you there first.” Feng Siruo’s body trembled slightly as she recalled Li Jiaxin’s methods, feeling a bit awkward and hurrying to speak.

Just then,

Buzz------------------

Feng Siruo’s phone rang with an incoming call.

She instinctively wanted to hang up,

since Li Jiaxin and An Youyi were present.

She felt it would be impolite.

Whatever it was, it could wait!

But Li Jiaxin stopped her, “Answer it.”

Feng Siruo nodded and picked up the call.

“Yes, I’m here. I’ve picked up Sister Li and the others. What?! What did you say?!”

Feng Siruo’s face darkened instantly, “How dare he? Does he really think no one can touch him?”

“Oh, so he’s desperate now, no wonder he’s panicking. Alright, I’ll pass this on to Sister Li. Your concerns are unnecessary; Sister Li has help. That’s all for now.”

After hanging up,

Li Jiaxin asked curiously, “What’s wrong? You just took a call, but your face looks awful. Did something happen?”

“Sister Li, here’s the situation. The Nightmare Butcher has sent invitations to the remaining hall masters. That ambitious guy wants to take over the entire Dragon King Hall. Not only that, but his people have also made it clear that anyone who doesn’t show up this time won’t be welcome in the future.”

Feng Siruo summarized the key points of the news she had just received.

Li Jiaxin and An Youyi listened quietly.

An Youyi had no interest in the Dragon King Hall.

Li Jiaxin, though intrigued, had already withdrawn all her resources from there.

Moreover, running such a massive organization like the Dragon King Hall required significant time and effort.

In the past, she had no choice.

But now, Li Jiaxin just wanted to finish her business and return to Dragon Country to live a peaceful life.

“What a bold statement,” Li Jiaxin said indignantly, glancing at An Youyi out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing that An Youyi remained as calm as ever,

Li Jiaxin continued, “He’s going to regret it. That guy will never become the Hall Master.”

After all, they were here to kill Li Caijun.

How could a dead man become the Hall Master?

“You, are, good~~~~”

As the women were talking,

a group of foreign men with colorful hair approached.

They whistled at the women.

The three women were undeniably attractive,

like celebrities.

They carried an aura that made them stand out in any crowd.

The foreigners were practically drooling.

These Asian women had amazing figures.

“You handle this yourselves,”

An Youyi said emotionlessly,

then opened the car door and got into the back seat.

Li Jiaxin’s eyebrows twitched. She had been in a good mood, but now she was thoroughly annoyed.

“Xiao Si, leave a lasting impression on them. Make sure these guys remember that inappropriate advances can be life-threatening.”

With that,

Li Jiaxin couldn’t be bothered to look at these foreign trash anymore.

She got into the car and sat in the passenger seat,

not daring to sit next to An Youyi.

The pressure was too much.

Back in Dragon Country, Li Jiaxin rarely got hit on.

The locals knew their limits.

But foreigners were shallow, not even bothering to look at themselves in the mirror before acting.

The foreigners grew even more excited when they saw the luxury car.

They had always had success hitting on women in smaller Asian countries,

which made them feel superior.

They immediately started talking in English.

“Those two girls have amazing bodies. I’ll take them tonight.”

“Hahaha... The men in their country are useless. Only we can truly satisfy them.”

“You can use a toothpick to clean your teeth, but using it to pick your nose won’t give you the same satisfaction, right?”

“Hahaha---------”

Their laughter grew increasingly lewd.

Feng Siruo couldn’t bear to listen anymore.

Just as one of the foreigners reached out to grab her hand,

in the blink of an eye,

Feng Siruo suddenly struck, throwing a powerful punch straight at the man’s face.

The force was no less than that of any grown man!

It was even more painful than a professional boxer’s punch.

With just one punch, the dark-skinned foreigner was sent sprawling,

knocked out cold.

Blood gushed from his nose like it was free.

The remaining foreigners were stunned.

They were completely shocked by what they had just witnessed.

These men were big and muscular,

so logically, Feng Siruo shouldn’t have been able to deliver such a powerful blow.

She was slender and delicate.

How could she knock someone out with a single punch?

While they were still processing what had happened,

Feng Siruo clearly had no intention of stopping.

She kicked another one, knocking him out.

The sound of something breaking echoed.

The kicked foreigner’s eyes widened in agony, realizing too late the pain of his loss.

It had been his everything~~~~~~~

“F you!!”

The remaining men cursed,

no longer underestimating Feng Siruo.

One of them even pulled out a gun.

But it was useless.

Soon, Feng Siruo had taken them all down.

Some had broken bones, others had their pride shattered.

If they could do it over,

they would never have dared to approach Li Jiaxin and the others.

Regret consumed them!!!!

Their trips to smaller countries had made them arrogant.

But in reality, they were nothing.

No one was going to indulge them.

They realized this too late,

paying a heavy price for their actions.

In a grand, standalone villa,

the spacious living room was impeccably clean.

“Sister Li, the house is regularly cleaned and is ready for you to move in anytime. Here are the keys.”

“The fridge is stocked with enough food for two weeks, plus plenty of snacks. If you don’t waste anything, it could last a month.”

Feng Ruosi introduced the place to the two women.

“What’s Li Caijun’s current situation?”

The one asking was none other than An Youyi.

Feng Ruosi’s heart raced. This was a woman even Li Jiaxin was wary of.

Feng Ruosi didn’t dare to upset her.

She quickly reported the information she had.

“He’s been wanted by Dragon Country. I just received word that the local police are more than willing to cooperate with Dragon Country to arrest him. They’ve even dispatched a number of Interpol agents to bring Li Caijun to justice.”

An Youyi nodded after listening, her expression unchanged, “I see.”

Li Jiaxin let out a light snort, her tone disdainful, “Sister An, that guy’s desperate. He wants to take over the Dragon King Hall.”

“I don’t care who controls the Dragon King Hall. I’m only here to kill the Butcher,” An Youyi said calmly,

as if she were discussing something mundane.

Silence.

A deathly silence.

This was especially true because the person speaking was An Youyi.

Otherwise, Li Jiaxin and Feng Ruosi would have laughed their heads off.

Li Caijun was notorious for his ferocity.

His skills were formidable.

There had been no less than a thousand, if not eight hundred, attempts on his life.

Without exception, all had ended in failure.

The fact that he was still alive was the best proof of his prowess.

Li Jiaxin raised a thumbs-up, "You're amazing, Sister An!!! When Sister An takes action, success is guaranteed."

Feng Ruosi also wanted to chime in with a few words of praise.

To butter up the Dragon Queen.

But in the next moment,

An Youyi glanced at her. Though her gaze was calm and unreadable,

Feng Ruosi felt goosebumps rise all over her body, as if she had been targeted by some ancient beast.

"Where is the thing I asked for?"

"Cough, cough—" Feng Ruosi choked for a moment and quickly replied, "It's here, please follow me."

Under immense pressure, she led the way.

An Youyi and Li Jiaxin followed behind.

Soon,

the three women arrived at the villa's leisure study.

Feng Ruosi activated the hidden compartment switch.

In an instant,

the room underwent a dramatic transformation.

The rows of bookshelves descended,

replaced by another set of shelves that rose in their place.

These shelves were lined with an assortment of weapons.

From razor-sharp daggers and cold steel to pistols, submachine guns, and machine guns—modern firearms of all kinds.

Not only that,

there were also grenades, smoke bombs, and more.

As for the ammunition and magazines, they had their own dedicated shelf, neatly arranged.

What was even more astonishing was the presence of an RPG rocket launcher.

It would be no exaggeration to call this place a small-scale armory.

The array of weapons was dazzling.

An Youyi stepped forward and stopped in front of one of the shelves.

She reached out and picked up a firearm,

testing its weight and feel in her hands.

Seeing this,

Feng Ruosi finally let out a sigh of relief.

Being near someone like An Youyi was like being near a tiger.

Though An Youyi wasn’t her direct superior,

if she decided to act against her,

Li Jiaxin might not be able to protect her.

Moreover, Feng Ruosi didn’t want to put Li Jiaxin in a difficult position.

Fortunately, An Youyi wasn’t as terrifying as the rumors made her out to be.

While An Youyi was occupied with inspecting the weapons,

Feng Ruosi, with her shapely legs clad in black stockings and her high heels clicking softly, tiptoed over to Li Jiaxin.

"Sister Li~"

Li Jiaxin, who had been lost in thought, snapped back to reality and smiled.

She tilted her smooth chin and leaned in closer.

"What is it, my dear Ruosi?"

She wrapped her arms around Feng Ruosi.

Feng Ruosi, like a startled little rabbit,

quickly glanced in An Youyi's direction.

Fortunately, An Youyi didn’t seem to notice.

Or perhaps she simply didn’t care what was happening over here.

Feng Ruosi breathed a sigh of relief, her face flushing with embarrassment as she squirmed slightly.

"Sister Li, do you... do you want me to stay tonight?"

Li Jiaxin held her close, her hands roaming teasingly as she smiled mischievously. "What do you think?"

Feng Ruosi bit her lip, a mix of excitement and nervousness in her eyes.

Li Jiaxin was skilled in many ways.

Perhaps too skilled.

Which was why Feng Ruosi felt both thrilled and intimidated.

The excitement came from the fact that Li Jiaxin had chosen her to stay tonight.

Feng Ruosi nodded shyly, her voice barely above a whisper, "Okay."

"Oh, are you blushing? It’s not like this is the first time. Why are you so shy?"

Li Jiaxin laughed even more heartily.

She leaned in and nipped at Feng Ruosi’s ear.

Everything happened so quickly.

There was no time for Feng Ruosi to react.

She buried her face even deeper,

which only served to further pique Li Jiaxin's interest.

This was one of Feng Ruosi’s charms.

Other women might be bold,

or even take the initiative themselves.

But Feng Ruosi was always so timid,

and it wasn’t an act.

It was precisely because of this that

Li Jiaxin considered her a close confidante,

one of the few people she could truly trust.

Smack—

Li Jiaxin couldn’t resist giving Feng Ruosi’s bottom a playful slap.

"Ah—"

Feng Ruosi let out a soft, unintelligible sound of surprise.

But quickly,

as if realizing something, she covered her mouth with both hands.

After all, An Youyi was still in the room.

What if she angered her?

Feng Ruosi shot a reproachful look at Li Jiaxin, like a resentful little wife.

Li Jiaxin simply smiled.

She gave Feng Ruosi a reassuring look.

She and An Youyi were also close friends.

But those events had taken place back in Dragon Country.

Feng Ruosi wasn’t aware of the intricacies of their relationship,

which was understandable.

But in the next moment,

whether by coincidence or not,

just as Li Jiaxin was teasing Feng Ruosi,

An Youyi, on the other side of the room,

finished loading the firearm in her hands.

Not only that,

the usually taciturn Dragon Queen spoke up.

"If you want to play, you can do it outside."

She meant it sincerely.

In the past, her heart had been as cold as ice.

She treated everything with the same indifference.

But after meeting Xu Mo,

everything had changed.

Her heart had begun to warm,

though she herself wasn’t sure

whether this was a good or bad thing.

In other words,

she had started to consider the feelings of others.

Because she remembered

how she and Xu Mo would feel uncomfortable

when someone was around during their private moments.

It felt awkward.

This was just a well-meaning reminder from the Dragon Queen.

But it backfired.

Li Jiaxin and Feng Ruosi were terrified.

"Cough, cough—Sister An, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. We’ll leave right away."

Li Jiaxin quickly apologized.

Then, grabbing Feng Ruosi, whose face had turned pale with fear,

they hurriedly left the study.

Watching their fleeing figures,

An Youyi, holding a Barrett sniper rifle, tilted her head slightly and muttered to herself, "Did I do something wrong again?"

"Or do I just look that scary?"

After a moment of thought,

An Youyi gave up trying to figure it out.

If she couldn’t understand something,

she simply wouldn’t bother.

An Youyi wasn’t one to overthink things.

The Barrett felt good in her hands,

though it was a bit too bulky.

She removed the bullets and magazine, placing them back on the shelf.

Then she picked up another firearm to inspect.

For a woman of her age and beauty,

it was unusual to be more interested in firearms

than in designer handbags or cosmetics.

It created a striking contrast.

How utterly badass she looked!

Meanwhile,

after leaving the study,

Feng Ruosi’s legs were so weak she could barely stand.

"Sister Li, I’m so scared. Should we stay somewhere else tonight? I have a few other properties,"

Feng Ruosi said, still shaken.

She expected Li Jiaxin to agree readily.

But in the next moment,

Li Jiaxin shook her head. "No, I just got off a flight. I want to rest properly."

"Huh???" Feng Ruosi was stunned.

In the past, whenever Li Jiaxin returned,

things had always gone a certain way.

But why was this time different?

Feng Ruosi felt a pang of emptiness.

She had mustered the courage to ask,

only to be rejected by Li Jiaxin.

It was a blow to her self-esteem.

She even began to wonder if Li Jiaxin had found someone new.

Ugh... how frustrating.
