71: Chapter 70: Preference Over All Reasons 71: Chapter 70: Preference Over All Reasons “Ding—Killing Intent Value from Ye Xun +1000.”
Feeling the sharp killing intent rapidly approaching from behind, Lu Zixun’s hair stood on end.
With a hiss, his figure suddenly flashed.
Having activated Flash’s speed, Lu Zixun caused the vicious attack from Ye Xun to miss its mark.
Lu Zixun, now behind Ye Xun, leapt up with a kick that landed squarely on Ye Xun’s body.
The immense force sent Ye Xun tumbling to the ground.
Lu Zixun instantly controlled the surrounding magnetic field and all metal objects, merging them into heavy chains that clamped down fiercely on Ye Xun’s body.
Trapped, Ye Xun did not panic at all, his eyes filling with red blood threads.
With force in his arms, Ye Xun broke the chains and his fingernails grew rapidly, lunging fiercely toward Lu Zixun.
Seeing that he could not dodge this strike, a ruthless glint flashed in Lu Zixun’s eyes.
He activated Steel Body, and at the same time, his tail whipped toward Ye Xun’s neck.
Lu Zixun was ready to trade injury for life, really thinking he was still that weak and bullyable little kitty?
Two words came out softly, as Yue Sichen raised an arm.
He made a grasping gesture at the duo.
A feeling of suffocation came from deep within, and Lu Zixun’s attack paused abruptly.
Ye Xun in front, too, gasped for breath and, caught off guard, dropped heavily to the ground.
It seemed the pressure he was under was much greater than what Lu Zixun experienced.
So this is the strength of a Queen-level creature…
Feeling powerless in his body, Lu Zixun looked at Yue Sichen with a touch of horror.
It seems that his earlier belief that he could at least escape was just self-deception.
Stepping forward in high heels, Yue Sichen approached Ye Xun.
Yue Sichen extended a slender hand, lifting Ye Xun’s chin, her eyes gleaming with danger: “Ye Xun, have I been too kind to you lately?
Without my orders, you dare attack my guest?”
Sweat on his forehead, Ye Xun stuttered out a sentence.
Yue Sichen huffed and sat back down in her office chair.
Lu Zixun felt he could move normally again, presumably because Yue Sichen had lifted the suppression.
Ye Xun, panting next to him, stood up from the ground and shot Lu Zixun a cold glance before turning to Yue Sichen.
“Next time, I do not want to see this happen again, do you understand?”
Yue Sichen spoke calmly, still looking at Ye Xun.
Ye Xun nodded and closed his mouth in silence.
Now, Yue Sichen gave Lu Zixun a feeling that lacked the initial warmth, instead, it was an inexplicable sense of distance.
Was it because of Ye Xun’s arrival, or was it because of showing his strength?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zixun did not have a clear answer.
“The matter I mentioned to you before, don’t be in a rush to refuse.
I’ll give you a month to consider it.”
Clearly, Yue Sichen was speaking to Lu Zixun; about to speak, Lu Zixun swallowed his words.
After a moment of thought, he finally asked, “Why do you insist on partnering with me?”
“A very simple reason.”
Leaning back in her office chair, hair disheveled, Yue Sichen said calmly, “Because I like cats, so you are the one I want to partner with.”
Lu Zixun, who had jumped onto the table and was looking at Yue Sichen, had two characters shining brightly in his eyes.
Yue Sichen raised an eyebrow at Lu Zixun, then turned his gaze toward Ye Xun, “Ye Xun and the others have always been telling me that they want a controlled informant, but I haven’t agreed.
After all, liking trumps all reason.”
After a moment of silence, Lu Zixun’s beard twitched, “You’re really not afraid I’ll tell sto about this?”
“Ding—Killing Intent Value from Ye Xun detected +1000.”
Provokingly glancing at Ye Xun, Lu Zixun didn’t pay him any mind.
Yue Sichen chuckled twice and shook his head, “To be honest, even if you tell sto now, they don’t have the energy to deal with me anymore.”
“In fact, they might even hope…
that you stay by my side longer to prevent me from causing new troubles.”
The amount of information conveyed in this sentence was somewhat overwhelming, and for a moment, Lu Zixun couldn’t react.
With his gaze somewhat scattered, it took Lu Zixun a while to understand.
He recalled that it was Xiong Kang, not Zeng Haoyang, who had brought him to Yuesha Group last time.
Lu Zixun immediately grasped the meaning behind Yue Sichen’s words.
sto must be entangled in some matter now.
It was probably because they tried to encircle Yue Sichen last time, which severely weakened sto, while other places experienced some kind of uprising.
So now, Yue Sichen was fearless.
Even if Lu Zixun exposed Yue Sichen’s identity as the Blood Worm Queen, sto wouldn’t have the energy to deal with her.
Seeing the look of realization in Lu Zixun’s eyes, Yue Sichen asked with a smile.
Lu Zixun bent his legs and lay down on the table, feeling somewhat lackluster.
Playing these conspiracy games was truly not his forte.
As long as his life wasn’t threatened, it was better to be an honest salted fish.
“Better to keep hanging out with me.”
Yue Sichen said to Lu Zixun with a smile, “See, I have money and like cats, I can give you whatever you want.”
Half-squinting, Lu Zixun shook his head calmly, “I’m not some snitch to turn traitor for a bit of gain, am I?”
Changing his tone, Lu Zixun continued, “sto is not just a bunch of shrimps and crabs.
If I sold out sto and they sent a big shot to snuff me out, cats don’t really have nine lives.”
“Ding—Love Value from Yue Sichen detected +500.”
“Ding—Exclamation Value from Ye Xun detected +500.”
“I’m liking you more and more.”
Yue Sichen smiled as she petted Lu Zixun’s head, “Oh well, I wasn’t pinning all my hopes on a cat anyway.
Just stick with me for a month.”
Hearing this, Lu Zixun rubbed Yue Sichen’s palm with a movement of his paw and touched his ear, “Where will you go after a month?”
“Naturally, I’ll be leaving this place.
After all, it’s not safe here anymore.”
Ignoring the look from Ye Xun, Yue Sichen replied, then dropped her gaze to Lu Zixun, “Will you come with me?”
“I don’t want to die yet.”
Lu Zixun rolled his eyes at Yue Sichen, thinking.
Could she really like him that much, scheming by all means to lure him away?
“Queen, I have something to report to you.”
Ye Xun, who had been listening for a while, saw that the conversation between the man and the cat had stopped and looked at Yue Sichen, his gaze calm.
Yue Sichen nodded slightly to acknowledge.
She stroked Lu Zixun’s body, “Do you want to listen in on this here?”
