"Is it that serious?"
"Let me know if anything happens in the future, don't just rush in without telling me."
With a flick on Tao Yu's forehead, Sun Shiyu started checking the burned-down ritual site with her hands behind her back.
"Very cautious, and clever to burn it, but it's just an ordinary ritual effigy, so it shouldn't cause much pollution. I'll arrange for someone to log it, you don't have to worry about it, I'll keep an eye on it."
"Heh heh, what about the reward..."
Tao Yu rubbed his hands like a fly, his face full of anticipation.
Poor people, no choice.
If it weren't for the reward, I'd have bolted, no way I would've stayed.
"Take this for now, I'll think about it later."
He casually tossed a card to Tao Yu, who felt his heart leap when he sensed the fifty thousand Yuan Force inside.
Damn, that's heart-racing.
That was about what my second month's transportation dividend's guaranteed minimum was. It undoubtedly saved me a ton of time, and my talent's path to Deification moved one step closer!
"What do you plan to do now? Come back with me first?"
Sun Shiyu tilted her head and glanced at Tao Yu.
She had just come over to deal with the situation, which had been handled very well, and the rest could be wrapped up by the fleet arriving overnight.
No need to do everything myself.
Tao Yu was first stunned, then he looked at the curves outlined by Sun Shiyu's tight combat suit, glanced at the motorcycle, and his whole body shivered.
Can't hold back, really can't hold back, this woman is toxic.
Tao Yu suspected she sprayed some kind of banned substance on herself. But wait, that wasn't right. His Spiritual Immunity should be able to handle that, unless it was like a pain reminder or something.
In his head, Tao Yu knew he shouldn't mess around, but his body honestly nodded in agreement.
"It would be wonderful if Miss could give me a ride, I was just about to go collect payments from Panda and the rest."
Tao Yu quickly found an excuse.
It wasn't time for the dividend yet, and he hadn't planned to keep drawing on it in advance. He originally planned to hunt Aliens, accumulate enough, then come back for this income. The timing would have been perfect.
But since he now had some extra cash and was going back anyway, he used it as an excuse.
Panda was easy to talk to, he'd probably agree to an advance.
"Collecting payments? They owe you money?"
Sun Shiyu called the motorcycle back and gave Tao Yu a sideways glance.
"No, we started a company together. It's a partnership, young Master Sun witnessed it."
Sun Shiyu said oh, and then looked at Tao Yu skeptically.
"What are you staring at? Get on."
Tao Yu looked at the curve she struck on her motorcycle, feeling quite rebellious within.
"Damn, I'm not a rookie, what's going on? This body is too active."
Cursing inwardly, Tao Yu closed his eyes and swung himself onto the back seat.
The snug elastic touch sent a chill down his spine, and the faint scent from her flowing hair almost made him grasp the back, but instead, he ended up wrapping his arms around Sun Shiqing's waist.
After he wrapped his arms around her, Tao Yu came back to his senses and was surprised at his own boldness, but seeing that she didn't object and was calmly starting the ascent, he sighed in relief.
Although he was quite familiar with Sun Shiyu now, and there were occasional touches when discussing Skills and testing, this kind of situation was a first.
As the motorcycle sped along with her hair fluttering in front, Tao Yu was tempted to bury his face in it, but he subdued the urge with the mental strength brought by the Meditation Technique, and he managed to control his wandering hands.
Sitting upright and serious, he immediately started practicing the Meditation Technique on the spot, emptying his mind.
"Wake up, we're here."
It wasn't until the voice reached his ears that Tao Yu jerked awake and quickly rolled out of the car.
Only then did he realize they had arrived at the siblings' residence. Sun Shiqing, dressed in casual home wear, curiously glanced at the two of them. Experience more content on m v|l e'-NovelHub
"So you're the informant."
"Yes, Mr. Sun, I just hitched a ride."
Tao Yu didn't know why he felt the need to explain, but back then Sun Shiqing had seen some of his minor actions. Now, she was smiling at him like a sly fox, her expression somewhat playful.
"Ahem, I'll be off then, thank you, Miss Sun."
Tao Yu coughed and glanced at Sun Shiyu, who seemed perfectly normal as if she didn't really care about giving him a ride back.
"Don't be so formal, you're quite capable and you've been generous in teaching Skills, with no one else around, just call me Shiyu."
Sun Shiyu appeared nonchalant.
Sun Shiqing smiled and waved from the side but still added a warning,
"Still, if you don't want to die young, be mindful in front of others."
Tao Yu's heart, which had begun to thump wildly, chilled immediately upon hearing Sun Shiqing's reminder, and he quickly reined in his somewhat inflated and airy thoughts.
"Got it, I'm off now."
"Alright, are you heading out to hunt Aliens?"
"Yes, the convoy's earnings have started to decline."
Sun Shiyu seemed to be pondering something and absently warned him.
"Be careful not to die."
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Sun~"
Tao Yu turned around with a big smile and waved as he sped up his pace, sighing to himself,
"This young lady is quite nice. I almost feel like she's taken a liking to me. Hmm, but I'm clean-cut. It's normal for her to want me by her side. It's just a pity—if only she craved my body, too..."
"Sister, how did it go?"
After watching Tao Yu leave, Sun Shiqing moved closer to her older sister and whispered with a giggling smile.
"His physiological reactions are pretty normal, but he's also quite the scaredy-cat. You scared him, so now he's done for," Sun Shiyu said, looking down at her curvy figure and resting her chin on her hand, somewhat helpless.
"No way. Don't the books say that boys his age are all monkeys? He didn't cross any lines? How did he resist? You're such an embarrassment..."
Sun Shiqing widened her eyes in disbelief.
"I really don't get it either. Could my Succubus lineage be fake? He was even practicing [Meditation Technique] in the car."
At this point, Sun Shiyu was also puzzled. Usually, she restrained her innate abilities, but that didn't mean her lineage was weak. Theoretically, it was a top-tier ability that could even diminish concepts like attack and harm.
"That's how you taught him to use the [Meditation Technique]?"
Sun Shiqing was also a bit baffled and blinked her eyes.
"How should I know? Don't you have any references?"
"What can I do? I'm an Angel, without that kind of thing. I'm quite curious, though. Maybe you could let me watch when you two do it..."
Sun Shiqing's eyes suddenly turned dark gold, exuding a pure aura as her face showed a trace of curiosity.
