Chapter 58: Wishing You Two a Pleasant Night~
“What?”
The A-class Guides sat up one after another in confusion. “Guide Shu, I don’t quite understand. Besides purification, what else can we do?”
“Heh heh!” Shu Fenghua pulled a piece of paper from her pocket and said excitedly, “The content of the work hasn’t changed, but the subjects of the work have!”
“From now on, we are only responsible for purifying A-class sentinels with a compatibility of over 70%, as well as the workload of purifying 20% mania for 50 B-class sentinels every day!”
“Cough, cough-cough—” One A-class Guide was so shocked she directly choked on her own saliva. “Fifty B-class sentinels? 20% mania? Wouldn’t that be finished in a single afternoon?”
“A-class sentinels with over 70% compatibility with us are only a handful at most. Based on the past, they only need purification once a month on average. What’s the difference between this and being able to sleep until noon every day? This is too amazing!”
“If we’re purifying B-class sentinels, then what will the B-class Guides do?” someone couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Naturally, they will purify B-class sentinels with over 70% compatibility and those C-class sentinels!” Shu Fenghua patted the paper in her hand. “By the same token, C-class Guides will purify D-class sentinels, while D-class and F-class Guides will purify the most numerous F-class sentinels. This way, the workload of all Guides will be fully liberated, and the purification treatment for all ranks of sentinels will be improved!”
She said with a sense of pride, “The Princess came up with this. His Majesty has already approved her reform application. From today on, the Third War Zone will be the first reform test point. Everyone, work hard! If this method really works, then the Guides and sentinels of the other six war zones will enjoy the benefits along with us!”
“That’s absolutely no problem!” The A-class Guides instantly lost their fatigue and said with high spirits, “Purifying B-class sentinels is as easy as pie! Just for basic purification, I can do ten sentinels with my ten fingers!”
“Heehee, quite an appetite you have there. Then can you do ten more with your ten toes?”
“Hey! Are you a pervert or what!”
The A-class Guides began laughing and playing. Among them, someone couldn’t help but ask, “Then what about the A-class sentinels?”
“What about the A-class sentinels?” At the table, Sen Ji frowned slightly. “Do you need to purify them all the time? That’s too exhausting.”
“Exactly. And the other war zones don’t have S-class Guides. How will they implement this Guide work reform?”
“I’ll just go over there, won’t I?” Xie Qiang said matter-of-factly.
“Then what about the Third War Zone? The A-class sentinels here still need your purification!” Hong Que immediately countered.
Cang Jiu looked thoughtful for a moment. Then, as if he had figured something out, he spoke playfully, “No, there is one situation where the A-class sentinels of the Third War Zone would no longer need purification.”
He and Xie Qiang smiled at each other and said in unison, “Destroy the wormhole and completely liberate the Third War Zone.”
Hong Que jumped up, his eyes bulging. “Holy crap!”
Hearing about the complete liberation of the Third War Zone, Sen Ji could also hardly hide the surge of emotion in his heart. However, he still asked with restraint, “But the wormhole in the Third War Zone is the nest of the Zerg Queen. I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to destroy.”
“As long as you complete your total purification, won’t it be fine?” Cang Jiu cast a meaningful look at Sen Ji.
“Oh, right! You fought to a draw with the Zerg Queen before—” Hong Que immediately turned to look at Sen Ji. “As long as Xie Qiang gives you a total purification, and then we take all the purified A-class sentinels with us, then…”
As if suddenly remembering something, Hong Que came to a screeching halt. “Wait, wait, wait—”
He whipped his head around to look at Xie Qiang. “You agreed to give Sen Ji a total purification?”
Xie Qiang tilted her head. This was something she had decided long ago. What did ‘agreeing’ have to do with it?
She nodded anyway.
Hong Que’s brows furrowed instantly. He continued to press her unwillingly, “How long do you plan to take to complete the total purification?”
“Just these couple of days.” Xie Qiang didn’t quite understand what his point was.
“Cough, cough—”
Before Hong Que could scream, Sen Ji started coughing. He raised a fist to his lips, and his eyes, which had been looking at Xie Qiang, began to dart away. “Is… isn’t that too rushed?”
If the purification was too fast, it would trigger the Combined Heat…
“Is that rushed?” Xie Qiang’s eyes widened slightly in confusion. “Actually, I had planned to complete the total purification for you that night.”
It was just that she suddenly remembered Mo Yin was being punished in the water prison, so she had temporarily left and abandoned the plan.
Opposite her, Sen Ji became visibly panicked. His broad, slender palms almost covered most of his face, yet they couldn’t hide the sudden flush of embarrassment rising on his cheeks.
How could she say such a thing in front of others—about inviting him to her room to “stay the night”!
Hong Que looked at Xie Qiang, then at the blushing Sen Ji, and a trace of unease grew in his heart.
“Can’t you do the purification separately?” Hong Que pressed his hands firmly on the table, staring at her. “It’s not that urgent, is it?”
Xie Qiang shook her head. “It shouldn’t be delayed any longer.”
If she delayed any further, her trial period would be over.
Hong Que clenched his fists. He glared at Xie Qiang, and when he didn’t see her change her mind, he finally slammed the table and said angrily, “Fine, whatever!”
If she wanted to sleep with him that badly, then just do it!
Anyway, he didn’t care at all!
Hong Que turned and left in a huff. Catching a glimpse of Cang Jiu’s interested expression from the corner of his eye, his anger flared up again. He walked over, grabbed Cang Jiu by the back of his collar, and dragged him out. “What are you still hanging around here for? Are you trying to disturb their sweet ‘world of two’!”
Cang Jiu wasn’t annoyed at all. Instead, he added fuel to the fire by waving at Xie Qiang and Sen Ji, saying teasingly, “Wishing you two a pleasant night~”
“Those two are so weird.” Xie Qiang watched them leave in confusion. Then she turned to Sen Ji and asked, “Then let’s start now.”
“So soon?”
Sen Ji was taken aback. Meeting Xie Qiang’s serious and undeniable gaze, he looked away awkwardly, not daring to meet her eyes. “Xie Qiang, I…”
He brewed his thoughts for a long time before finally gathering enough courage. He closed his eyes and said firmly, “Even though I don’t hate you as much as I used to, I still… I still can’t accept having a physical relationship!”
“So, let’s just do a temporary mark!”
…
…
…
Xie Qiang: ???
She looked blankly at the man who was full of resistance. Combined with the reactions of Hong Que and Cang Jiu when they left, she finally realized why they were all being so strange.
She stood up abruptly, her face turning as red as a ripe tomato. She shouted at Sen Ji in embarrassment and anger, “Who… who wants to have a relationship with you! I don’t even like you—!”
The girl’s clear cat-like eyes glared at him indignantly. Although she was denying her affection, that shy and angry look was like a feather brushing against his heart, causing a slight stir in Sen Ji’s mind and an unexplainable emotion to bloom.
“Do you really… not like me?”
He didn’t know how he had managed to ask that. He regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth. But the girl before him visibly avoided his gaze, her small hands clenched into fists on the table, her neck held stiffly. “Just… just a little bit! Don’t get too proud!”
