9 PM.
Gu Chenan saw that Hoshino Kannon didn't seem to have any movement, so he left the Xiao residence.
Under the dim streetlights.
Hoshino Kannon, dressed in a black lolita outfit, stood silently.
Ever since she stood there, it seemed like she had never moved, like a soulless zombie.
A sudden glance made her look quite like a terrifying female ghost from a horror movie.
Gu Chenan, with his hands in his pockets, walked towards the streetlight, his shadow stretching long.
"What are you doing?" Gu Chenan asked.
Hoshino Kannon raised her reddened eyes, glaring resentfully at Gu Chenan, "Preparing to kill her."
Taken aback by Hoshino Kannon's sudden look, Gu Chenan was startled.
[Sister, you've been standing here for two hours, haven't you changed your position even once? Aren't you tired?]
[Besides, if you're going to cosplay as a female ghost, at least change into a white dress and let your hair cover your face. Hey~ That would be authentic!]
"Didn't you say you weren't going to kill Xiao Jian? What's up, changed your mind again?" Gu Chenan raised his eyebrows.
"Not killing him." Hoshino Kannon shook her head absentmindedly.
"Then what are you doing here?" Gu Chenan was somewhat perplexed.
At that moment, Xiao Yajie walked out of the mansion, and Hoshino Kannon instantly raised her eyebrows, "Kill her!"
As she spoke, Hoshino Kannon's figure flashed towards Xiao Yajie at lightning speed, and at the same time, she had two slender sharp spikes in her hands.
Xiao Yajie's pupils dilated sharply, and she froze in place out of fear.
Hoshino Kannon's face twisted, and the spikes in her hands stabbed viciously towards Xiao Yajie's chest.
But just as the spikes were less than five centimeters away from Xiao Yajie, they suddenly stopped.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Gu Chenan gripped Hoshino Kannon's wrists tightly and asked through gritted teeth.
Hoshino Kannon was momentarily dazed, turning to look at Gu Chenan, and the spikes slipped from her hands onto the ground.
"Gu... Young Master..." She turned to look at the trembling Xiao Yajie and hurriedly said, "No, it's not like that."
"Miss Xiao, quickly go inside, it's dangerous here."
After cautioning her, Gu Chenan dragged Hoshino Kannon by the wrist to the old Phoenix tree nearby.
With her back against the Phoenix tree, Gu Chenan forcefully pinned his hands on the tree, glaring at Hoshino Kannon, "Speak, why did you try to attack Xiao Yajie, and what the hell is Lin Yu up to?"
Hoshino Kannon looked up at Gu Chenan and swallowed, "It's not..."
Before she could finish, Gu Chenan cut her off sternly, "Stop making excuses, spill it!"
Hearing this, Hoshino Kannon was taken aback, then suddenly grinned.
"Young Master, you seem so concerned about that Miss Xiao, do you two have an affair or something?" As she spoke, Hoshino Kannon smiled seductively and placed her hands around Gu Chenan's neck.
Gu Chenan forcefully shook Hoshino Kannon's hands off his neck and pointed at her, "Stop fooling around, spill it!"
"What do you want me to say?" Hoshino Kannon tilted her head and feigned a puzzled look.
"Don't play dumb, spill it."
Hoshino Kannon smiled slightly and whined, "Kannon doesn't know what to say~"
Hoshino Kannon's act of feigning ignorance infuriated Gu Chenan completely. He grabbed her throat and squeezed tightly, "Don't think I won't kill you!"
"Go ahead." Hoshino Kannon didn't resist, even using both hands to grip Gu Chenan's wrists, preventing him from letting go.
"You...!"
Gu Chenan gritted his teeth and persisted for a moment, but eventually let out an exasperated sigh and flung Hoshino Kannon's hands away, turning to leave, "Lunatic."
But after taking a few steps, he heard Hoshino Kannon say from behind, "Young Master, go on a date with me tomorrow?"
Gu Chenan turned his head, "Do you think that's possible?"
Hoshino Kannon hesitated, "Very possible. I want to go see a movie, it's no fun going alone... you know, I'm not familiar with life in Suhang and have no one who can accompany me."
"You were about to kill Xiao Yajie just now, and now you're asking me to go on a date with you. Are you really stupid or just pretending to be?" Gu Chenan asked.
Hoshino Kannon didn't seem to have heard what Gu Chenan said. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If you accompany me, I'll agree to one of your requests."
As she spoke, she slowly lifted the hem of her lolita dress, exposing the absolute territory above her knee-high socks and a glimpse of her black panties, "Any request is fine~"
"Heh."
Gu Chenan scoffed dismissively, "You think I'll still believe you?"
"What do I have to do to make you believe me?" Hoshino Kannon grew anxious.
Gu Chenan looked around, then smiled, "I'll ask you this, can you ensure the complete protection of the Xiao family for me?"
"Yes!" Hoshino Kannon nodded firmly, "As long as I protect the Xiao family thoroughly, you'll go on a date with me, right?"
Gu Chenan nodded, neither confirming nor denying.
"Got it, then I'll stay right here!" Hoshino Kannon exclaimed joyfully.
Gu Chenan took a few steps, then turned back, "It's a deal, you stay right here, no matter what happens, don't leave, even if Lin Yu comes looking for you or your little organization comes looking for you."
"You don't have to tell me!" Hoshino Kannon said arrogantly.
Gu Chenan returned to the Xiao residence and reassured the terrified Xiao Yajie before standing by the window again.
"Young Master, why isn't that woman leaving?" Ma Bing asked.
Gu Chenan shook his head, "Call all the security personnel from home to guard the Xiao residence, and you stay here and keep an eye on her too."
"Understood."
Gazing at Hoshino Kannon outside the mansion, Gu Chenan's brows furrowed slightly.
If Hoshino Kannon truly stayed put there, it would be better than her disappearing and reappearing erratically in her fits of madness.
If Gu Chenan had refused, Hoshino Kannon would have left this place and gone who-knows-where, and once Gu Chenan lost track of her whereabouts, there's no telling what chaos she might cause.
After all, this woman was a complete lunatic.
In hindsight, he should have just obediently sent her back home after their date.
He never could have anticipated that she would try to attack Xiao Yajie earlier.
His first thought was that Lin Yu had ordered her to kill Xiao Yajie, but upon careful consideration, that was completely impossible.
How could Lin Yu, with his womanizing personality, harm someone he considered his woman?
So this left Gu Chenan quite perplexed.
Hoshino Kannon and Xiao Yajie had no grudge against each other, did she simply intend to attack Xiao Yajie out of boredom after having had a full meal?
Gu Chenan didn't dwell on it too much. The martial artists of the Xiao family, along with Ma Bing and his bodyguards, could easily overpower Hoshino Kannon.
...
Soon, it was very late.
The gate opened, and Gu Chenan drove out.
Beep beep!
He honked his horn and rolled down the window, addressing Hoshino Kannon under the streetlight, "I'll come back tomorrow. If you truly intend to help me protect the Xiao family thoroughly, then thank you in advance."
Then Gu Chenan's tone changed, "But if you're planning any mischief, then you can try."
Hoshino Kannon folded her arms smugly, "You should start thinking about what to do on our date instead."
"This date will be an overnight one, and you're not allowed to go home at night!"
Gu Chenan nodded, rolled up the window, and drove away from the Xiao residence.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
