Xiang Yu said helplessly: "But Miss Lingsi, you didn't leave me a chance to explain. You just raised your sword and faced Bai Hu. I'm too embarrassed to bother you."
"It turns out that it's because my expression wasn't clear enough." Lingsi reflected on her own impulse.
Xiang Yu continued: "But the situation at that time was indeed very dangerous. If you hadn't taken decisive action, I might have been injured because I didn't react."
"So I still want to thank you, Miss Ayasi."
The conversation between the two was not as stiff as before, with a slight sense of harmony.
"Really, it turns out that I have done something worthy of your gratitude." Xiang Yu's gratitude made Ling Si cheer up again.
Xiang Yu replied: "Yes, that's it."
Lingsi replied: "That's what I should do. When a companion is in danger, most people will lend a helping hand."
"I know, but I still have to express my gratitude. It's not good to keep owing it like this."
After talking to Xiang Yu, Ling Si walked up to Bai Hu, who was knocked unconscious by her. Because Ling Si used her measures carefully, there were no obvious wounds on Bai Hu's body.
The white tiger has unique snow-white hair and a stronger and more powerful body than other animals, making it look very attractive.
Lingsi squatted down, gently touched its head, and whispered:
"It turns out that its name is white tiger, and it is a rare species of animal."
Xiang Yu walked over and said, "Yes. According to ASEAN City's written records, a few years ago, the white tiger was the signboard of ASEAN City. But in recent years, white tigers are basically no longer visible in ASEAN City."
Xiang Yu just called up the information recorded on the Internet, which introduced the white tiger in detail.
"How about we let it go? It seems like it was just stunned by the intruder, and it is quite pitiful." Lingsi finally relented.
"Since you surrendered the white tiger, the right to deal with it naturally belongs to you."
Xiang Yu didn't ask any more questions and handed the fainted white tiger to Ling Si.
In order to avoid physical exhaustion while walking, Xiang Yu and Ling Si agreed to repair the area just now for a quarter of an hour.
After a while, the white tiger finally woke up.
It felt like there was a foreign object on its head, and a smooth and delicate hand kept stroking its head.
The white tiger felt that it had been insulted and wanted to retaliate against that hand. But when it looked up at Lingsi, it gave up the idea.
Lingsi showed a smile as gentle as the warm sun. That smile seemed to have magic power and could influence all living things. Bai Hu seemed to be influenced by Lingsi's smile. The previous violent character completely disappeared and was replaced by extreme docility.
The white tiger let Lingsi stroke its head, as docile as a harmless kitten.
Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ling Si in surprise: "Oh my, I didn't expect you, Miss Ling Si, to have influenced the white tiger. This is the first time I've seen such a docile white tiger."
"Well, different things need to be treated differently." Lingsi whispered.
"This differential treatment... makes me a little scared." Xiang Yu thought of Lingsi's attitude towards him.
Lingsi concluded: "As long as you have a tolerant heart, you can understand each other even if you are not the same person."
With the white tiger tamed, the rest time is coming to an end.
Xiang Yu signaled Ling Si with his eyes that it was time to set off soon.
"Well, the rest time is enough. Next, let's set off." Ling
Si stopped stroking and stood up.
Baihu rubbed Lingsi's thigh with nostalgia, reluctant to let Lingsi leave.
Ling Si said to Bai Hu: "Next, Mr. Xiang Yu and I are going to the urban area of ASEAN City. You can't follow us."
But the white tiger still surrounded Lingsi.
"Okay, okay. We can meet again if we have a chance in the future. Now just be obedient and go home." Lingsi put her hand gently on Bai Hu's head.
Baihu seemed to understand Lingsi's words, nodded and disappeared deep into the jungle.
Before leaving, Lingsi successfully said goodbye to Bai Hu.
On the way forward.
Xiang Yu said: "Miss Lingsi, I always feel that your mood is much more relaxed than before."
"Maybe that's the case. After all, when you first arrive in a strange city, you will inevitably feel nervous at first, but you will feel more relaxed after adjusting." Lingsi replied.
Xiang Yu and Ling Si finally walked out of the area covered by green plants. To reach the city from here, they still need to walk for about an hour.
So far, the course of action laid out by Xiang Yu has gone smoothly, and no unimaginable developments have occurred.
After leaving the plant area, Lingsi finally saw some low and flat buildings. This should be the outer suburbs of ASEAN City, and the living standards are still relatively backward.
This trip allowed Ling Si, who basically stayed at Yu Chen's house, to understand a lot and gained a lot of experience.
Xiang Yu said with emotion: "Basically every city will inevitably experience prosperity in the central area and backwardness in the peripheral areas. ASEAN City is no exception, but the most serious area is the capital Keno City."
"Uh." Lingsi didn't know how to respond.
"Oh, looking at your expression, I know you don't understand this aspect at all. After all, you have lived in the capital for such a long time, but you don't understand anything." Xiang Yu complained.
Lingsi suddenly discovered a detail and said quickly: "By the way, why were you able to deliver that email to me when we were in the capital? How did you know the address of where I live?"
Xiang Yu replied: "Oh, I spent three months investigating this address. As for the method... it is not easy to disclose. But don't worry, my target is only you."
"..." Lingsi showed an expression that she couldn't let go.
Xiang Yu continued: "Don't mind. If I hadn't brought you to ASEAN City, there would probably be other mercenaries to investigate your residence in the capital. I can't guarantee what kind of people they are."
"Moreover, if the Spirit Shadow Society announces that the commission has been completed, those guys who stayed in the capital probably won't do anything." Xiang Yu consoled him.
Lingsi asked seriously: "Are you sure?"
Xiang Yu said quietly: "The way you are acting...you should be worried about the human race that takes you in."
"This statement is wrong. They are not just the human race that took me in, they are also my family." Ling Si corrected Xiang Yu's statement.
"Well, it seems that Miss Lingsi has a deep bond with them." Xiang Yu coughed dryly, "I am the first mercenary to discover you, so of course I can be sure. What's more, the way of communication between you and me has changed from the beginning.
From the beginning, there were only letters, but I have never been to that villa."
"That's good. If they are involved, I can't guarantee what I will do." Lingsi showed a terrifying expression.
Xiang Yu nodded silently. He just wanted to make sure he could get a generous bounty.
That's enough, you can forget about other things.
Time is gradually passing...
"We finally arrived at the urban area of ASEAN City." After walking for more than an hour, Xiang Yu stopped.
The projection navigation completed its task and disappeared from the ground. Standing in front of Lingsi was an arch with the two characters "ASEAN" written on it.
Ayasi looked at the orange city reflected in the sun in front of her and murmured: "So this is ASEAN City."
ASEAN City is located in the eastern part of the Red Federation and is an important hub in the east. The entire city covers an area equal to about a quarter of the capital. Although there are no particularly prominent buildings in the city, there are countless high-rise buildings. Walking into ASEAN City is like entering
Like a real maze.
"Let's enter the city quickly. There will be strict security checks at the entrance to the city after three o'clock. It will be troublesome to enter again at that time." Xiang Yu encouraged Lingsi to enter the city.
"Wait a moment."
Lingsi did not obey Xiang Yu's words obediently. She put on her weapons and entered a fighting posture.
"Miss Lingsi, are you...are there other enemies appearing?" Xiang Yu looked around warily.
But there was no one around.
"No need to pretend to be stupid anymore. I'm not sure whether he is an enemy or not, but I know that Mr. Xiang Yu is no longer my companion."
Ling Si drew out her sword and pointed the blade toward Xiang Yu.
"Miss Lingsi, what are you doing?" Xiang Yu said in a panic.
Xiang Yu didn't know why things turned out like this, but the good-natured Ling Si suddenly attacked him with swords.
Lingsi's eyes were cold and her words were sad: "Mr. Xiang Yu, you don't have to keep pretending. You violated your previous agreement with me for the sake of immediate interests."
(remember)
"Let's talk about it first. I will go to ASEAN City with you, but whether I want to go to that organization or not, I will make my own judgment after I get to ASEAN City."
"Yeah, okay."
——Now this sentence is just like a blank promise.
Ling Si glared at Xiang Yu with a gloomy face: "Mr. Xiang Yu, I didn't expect that you actually violated the agreement."
After hearing these words, Xiang Yu finally realized why Lingsi was so abnormal.
Xiang Yu said bitterly: "As expected of a humanoid girl, it turns out that you have already realized the thugs at the entrance to the city."
When she was looking at the gate of ASEAN City just now, Lingsi noticed at first sight a group of sneaky humans at the entrance of ASEAN City.
"They should be the bodyguards sent by you who notified the Spirit Shadow Society in advance. If I enter the urban area of ASEAN City, they will start to monitor me." Lingsi clenched the sword in her hand.
"Miss Lingsi, please listen to my explanation. This is definitely not what you imagined. I just asked them to escort you into ASEAN City to prevent you from being attacked by other mercenaries. I have no intention of forcing you to go to the Spirit Shadow Society."
Xiang Yu tried his best to defend himself.
Unfortunately, Lingsi knew that what Xiang Yu said had no credibility. The most important thing was that what Xiang Yu said was ultimately for his own benefit.
Looking at Lingsi who was silent, Xiang Yu asked tentatively: "Miss Lingsi, is there any possibility for us to cooperate?"
"Impossible, you have lost trust in me." Ling Si decisively rejected Xiang Yu.
Lingsi's words made Xiang Yu feel upset.
Xiang Yu kept his mouth shut and didn't speak.
——As a silent defaulter, he knows that no matter what he says, it will be useless.
