Volume 1 - Ouroboros and Black Iris Chapter 36 Yuan Xia Demon Hunting Squad - Sheng Yang
One day ago Xinyuan City-Rural Integration Zone
This place far away from the hustle and bustle of the city is considered a paradise for people. Transportation and economy are developing rapidly. People here live in urban areas, but they are not as chaotic and noisy as the urban areas. The place where they pass by is a little old towering trees, which seems to be very old. One or two old mansions, like the old heritage abandoned by the new world, sit next to the ancient tree and stand lonely in the gloomy night.
Looking into this area, there is a facility that stands nearly 1,000 meters away from the urban-rural fringe area. Its outer layer is made of quartz, which is not high or short, and the protective measures are not high-end. But just like such hollow protection, it is like a barrier, which makes people feel very stressful. The buildings in the facilities are arranged in an orderly manner, but it is really difficult to see the actual role of each building from the appearance.
In the center of the complex, there is a courtyard-style building. The decoration style is not an ancient atmosphere, but more closely related to the ancient and modern pattern. However, in this huge area, there are no traces of people, and silence invades this area and spreads slowly. However, obviously, judging from the bright lights in the room, it is not empty.
"The guests are coming soon, you really don't have the style of being a host."
A woman with a knife stood at the table where a group of people gathered, calling them, holding a silver tablet in her hand. The woman was not particularly outstanding in appearance, but her exposed temperament was not inferior to those ladies. The black and white scabbard hung on the right end of the woman, making it difficult for her to be malicious. There were five people in this room at this moment. In addition to the woman talking, there were three other men and one woman in the room. As the woman said, three of the four were chatting enthusiastically, and there were also people lying on the sofa and asleep.
"Oh, Xia Xi is here, here."
One of the tall and thin men wearing glasses greeted, then pulled aside to open the seat and signaled the woman to come over.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Xi didn't walk over, but just stood at the door and asked.
"Hahahahaha! Xia Xi, Zhao Youping's stupid × actually told us that he and Shi Wu'an are powerful, hahahahaha! You don't know how to brag about those bragging people in South Africa."
Another girl among the three explained to Xia Xi with a laugh that was not a lady at all. Although the girl's appearance was quite good, her face that showed off her distorted smile was really silenced. Her laughter was not only not sweet, but it brought disillusionment to people like a rooster crowing. It was difficult to match this smile with the laughter with her appearance.
"Believe it or not, I made an entrustment with him last time, and we were one of the two monsters, and finally solved them at the same time. How do you say that? This is not enough to prove my strength?"
Zhao Youping, who was called bragging, sat opposite the two of them. He threw the scabbard at the table, slapped the table, and looked like "I am so strong, believe it or not."
"You think you're fighting..."
"Stop, what we should talk about now is not the authenticity of Zhao Youping's pretending, but the fact that we should think about how to welcome the guests."
The man with glasses smiled disdainfully and was about to ask back, but was interrupted by Xia Xi at the door.
"Guests? Are those two from the Kingdom of Semulay?"
The girl with an impressive laughter turned halfway and said.
"No matter what they do, we have lived with us, they are not here to chat with us or eat and drink, right?"
As Zhao Youping said, he held the scabbard placed on the table in his hand to fiddle with it. The scabbard was dark green and black lines were wrapped around it, like a poisonous scorpion was ready to go.
"Your speech is very orphan. Is it bad English and I can't communicate with our international friends, Zhao Youping?"
The man in glasses pushed his glasses and said mockingly with a malicious smile.
"It seems like you are in good English, Feng Xutao. Last time you played Apex with me, don't you understand what that teammate is saying?"
Zhao Youping called the man with glasses in front of him and revealed it. He stepped on the chair and looked arrogant.
"That's a Russian."
Feng Xutao responded immediately, then looked at Zhao Youping in front of him with a look of suspicion.
"Oh, I...really?"
Zhao Youping said with a silence, and the woman sitting there began to smile again, making people wonder if she would laugh or not.
"Uh...time-huh~"
While several people were having a big fuss, they were lying on the sofa and sleeping. The young boy was finally awakened. The boy was still lying on the sofa and had not yet gotten up. With a tired voice, he rubbed his eyes and said:
"What are you doing?. I finally dreamed of beautiful sister, and my good things have been ruined by you."
"The little pervert gets up? Come on, go and talk to Sister Xia Xi about how to entertain our distinguished guests. Brothers and sisters have to discuss major issues here, go quickly."
Zhao Youping walked to the sofa, raised the sleepy boy lying on the bed with both hands, and dragged it out of the blanket. Before the latter could react, Zhao Youping placed it on the ground. The boy staggered and adjusted his steps, holding the second-dimensional pillow in his hand, and stood still with a dull face. His little feet were still barely trampled on the floor at this moment. The boy was only about one meter four in height, and his tender and dangerous pang was still sleepy, and his age should not be more than twelve or thirteen years old.
"You are sometimes more childish than Zhou Mi."
Xia Xi walked over helplessly, reached out and held the hand of the child named Zhou Mi, and said to the ungrown adults.
"Go and go, what's the childishness? Besides, we Ren is not good at making fancy and hypocritical tricks. If you want to make any welcome party, we won't object."
Zhao Youping waved his hand and explained, but he left half a sentence before he finished speaking, but he didn't expect that the girl with amazing laughter suddenly picked up the words in the next second.
"But the organization plan to welcome such a mess, we can't do it, but then we can come and activate the atmosphere."
The girl snapped her fingers and blinked, as if she was saying: Just discuss it like this.
"...has it formed into an atmosphere...we..."
Feng Xutao interrupted silently. Hearing the low voice to himself, the girl immediately gave Feng Xutao a thumbs up, as if saying: Yes, that's right.
"...Okay, this is your unified opinion, don't regret it."
Xia Xi said, looking at the three of them one after another, which made several of them feel guilty.
“That’s natural.”
Zhao Youping replied with a slap in his chest, very arrogant.
"Yes, let's guarantee Zhao Youping's head. If you regret it, you can cut it directly, no problem."
The girl with a loud voice spoke, and her chin signaled the knife beside Xia Xi.
"Hey hey! Don't bet with my head, Xie Yuxian!"
Zhao Youping reacted very quickly, nodding at the beginning, but his face immediately turned dark after hearing it, and shouted to the girl.
"That's right, Zhao Youping's head is not enough, so we also use his knife as collateral."
Feng Xutao immediately agreed, and Zhao You turned his head back and forth, staring at the two of them blankly.
"Okay, okay, you guys keep playing. I should go find Sun Yeying."
Xia Xi couldn't stay here anymore. After she asked Zhou Mi to put on her shoes, she immediately led Zhou Mi to leave the room.
"Consultant Sun is in the underground training ground."
Xie Yuxian reminded that after saying that, he got into a gang with the other two again, and laughed like a geese cry from time to time. Xia Xi closed the door and could still vaguely hear Gao Lu Kuo in the room, as if he was discussing what game to play online next.
“Underground training ground?”
Zhou Mi, who felt his sleepiness gradually disappeared, asked, "He has just arrived here and has never been to the training ground here." Moreover, he has never strengthened his basic training strength and doesn't even know anything about the training room."
"You will know right away. I will take you to exercise in the future. Don't just play all day. Be careful that your female classmates will despise you in the future."
As Xia Xi said this, she was the closest of these people to Zhou Mi, just like a real sibling. The reason why Zhou Mi came here was planned by Xia Xi, otherwise he might have been left on the streets, let alone such a free and easy life. Moreover, Xia Xi has always been his guardian, using her own money to support Zhou Mi in her studies (although most of the expenses were solved by the school). It was already extremely rare for her to be able to do this. Of course, Zhou Mi also understood these basic principles, so he also thanked Xia Xi in his heart and regarded it as truly being treated by his family.
"Ah~? Then I don't want to go."
When Zhou Mi heard that she was going to train in the future, she was immediately dissatisfied. She broke away from Xia Xi's hand and turned her head and planned to run.
"If you run away, don't think about playing games with Zhao Youping and the others in the future."
Seeing Zhou Mi escape, Xia Xi did not catch him back, but stood there and threatened. The whole process was smooth and it seemed that she had already had several experiences dealing with Zhou E. Naturally, Zhou Mi returned to Xia Xi in disappointment, lowered her head without saying a word, looking very pitiful.
“Don’t you want to be popular among girls?
"I have no interest in those little kids. They are not even as good as Yan Yi's sister Yuxian."
“…this is a bit over…”
The brother and brother walked in the aisle at night, their shoes stepped on the path made of gravel, silent. The moonlight was like water, pouring gently on the ground, and the shadows of bamboo and tree floated on the water, swaying slightly with the night breeze.
