CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 206: PRETTY USELESS

"I’m so full!" Lin Xiaoyan patted her bulging belly, too stuffed!

He Qi’an glanced at her and laughed, "Shall I take you out for a walk to digest?"

His hand reached over again, lightly holding Lin Xiaoyan’s hand.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at their hands and gently pursed her lips, a faint smile on her face, "Okay."

He Qi’an smiled in his eyes. He called over a waiter, repeated Xuan Shiwu’s room number, and asked them to send it up.

Then he took Lin Xiaoyan for a stroll on the beach.

Liu Zi: ... Weren’t we supposed to talk about things after lunch? How come they just left?!!

He Qi’an held Lin Xiaoyan’s hand, heading towards the beach.

Once outside the hotel, the scorching sun shone down, making the skin feel hot.

Lin Xiaoyan raised a hand above her eyes to block the sun and looked towards the sea.

The breeze blew by, bringing a whiff of the sea’s salty air.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyan noticed the sun was gone. She looked up and saw He Qi’an standing slightly in front of her, blocking the sun.

A surge of sweetness filled Lin Xiaoyan’s heart, and she felt somewhat surreal.

Suddenly, she had a boyfriend!

"What are you thinking about?"

He Qi’an looked down at Lin Xiaoyan’s face and asked.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the people playing by the seaside, her lips curving into a smile, "I was thinking... what you would look like in a wedding dress?"

He Qi’an: ???

He doubted he heard her right and looked at Lin Xiaoyan, asking, "You in a wedding dress?"

"No, you!" Lin Xiaoyan said, unable to hold back a laugh, she pulled her hand free and quickly ran towards the sea.

"Me? In a wedding dress!" He Qi’an had no idea what Lin Xiaoyan was talking about. Looking at the girl running towards the sea, a doting smile spread on his face as he chased after her.

Lin Xiaoyan stepped on the beach, feeling the waves slap against her again and again, looking at the vast sea in the distance, all the gloom in her heart dissipated in an instant.

She looked at He Qi’an, who was watching the sea with her, "Last night, those people... can we capture their accomplices too?"

Hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, He Qi’an looked into the distance, "Southern Province... in recent years the higher-ups have noticed, and have been arranging crackdowns on the underworld, but the effects are obviously not good.

There are too many entanglements up and down, the higher-ups have inspected several times but haven’t found a breakthrough."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at He Qi’an, "Can’t we ask people from the Special Investigation Bureau for help?

Or buy a Truth Talisman from the Xuanmen Group, make those people tell the truth, and reveal the people behind them...

Or it seems like the Superpower Group has a superpower user who can read minds..."

He Qi’an gently rubbed Lin Xiaoyan’s head, "If we could do that, then there wouldn’t be so many bad people in the world!"

"Then why can’t we do it?"

He Qi’an noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s skin was sunburnt red, he touched her arm, "The sun’s too strong, let’s go back."

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at her reddened arms, feeling a bit regretful, she forgot to apply sunscreen.

"Okay."

He Qi’an quickly took Lin Xiaoyan back to the hotel. Just at the entrance, they saw Liu Zi looking at them with a resentful gaze.

Lin Xiaoyan saw Liu Zi and said self-consciously, "You guys chat, I’ll go back myself."

He Qi’an glanced at Liu Zi, tightly holding Lin Xiaoyan, "It’s okay, I’ll take you upstairs first, then I’ll come down."

Liu Zi was speechless, "Leader, our hotel is very safe, you don’t need to worry..."

He Qi’an was unmoved, "Wait for me a moment, I’ll be right down."

Liu Zi: "... Alright then."

Lin Xiaoyan smiled at Liu Zi awkwardly and followed He Qi’an upstairs.

He Qi’an took Lin Xiaoyan back to her room and glanced at her knee, "Remember to apply the ointment later or wait for me to return and do it?"

"I’ll apply it myself, you go ahead."

"Alright, remember not to get it wet."

"Mm."

He Qi’an closed the door and quickly went downstairs to find Liu Zi.

Lin Xiaoyan had just sat back on the chair, ready to apply ointment, when she received a message from Shiwu saying she was at the door.

Lin Xiaoyan opened the door to see Xuan Shiwu looking at her with a smile.

"Come in, have you eaten? Just now..."

Lin Xiaoyan pulled Shiwu into the room.

Xuan Shiwu looked at Lin Xiaoyan’s blushing face, secretly delighted, "That He Qi’an..."

Hearing Xuan Shiwu mention He Qi’an, her face immediately turned red, "Wh-what about him?"

"Nothing, it’s just that when I saw He Qi’an’s face, I found his love line to be quite devoted!"

Lin Xiaoyan opened her eyes wide, her heart slightly excited, "Really?"

Xuan Shiwu patted her chest, assuring, "Believe me, while my ability to read faces isn’t as good as Xuan Shiyi’s, it’s better than others! I won’t be wrong!"

Hearing this, the bit of anxiety in Lin Xiaoyan’s heart eased a little.

"Were you scared last night?"

"Not too much, just a bit at the start."

Speaking of this matter, Lin Xiaoyan felt a little disheartened, "Every time something happens, I just feel like a fool who can’t help..."

Xuan Shiwu: "Help with what? Don’t burden yourself with such thoughts!

In those TV shows, idiots clearly without self-defense ability, without fighting power, insist on helping!

Not only do they hold everyone back, but they also get caught easily, tsk!"

"I think you’re just fine, like when we were at Hemu Village, as long as you protect yourself well and listen to us, you won’t get hurt!

Leave the rest to us professionals!"

Xuan Shiwu looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "Keep a level head, heaven has already granted you one superpower, you can’t be greedy and want more, right?"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Yes, without this superpower, I would just be an ordinary person."

"But, if you want to strengthen your body, we have a set of Body Refining Techniques you can try.

With that and some Fighting Skills, you should have some self-defense ability."

"Really? Can I learn it?" Lin Xiaoyan looked at Xuan Shiwu with anticipation.

Xuan Shiwu clapped his large hand, "Of course you can learn it! As long as you can endure hardship and persevere!"

"I’ll definitely overcome it, I mean, the technique you mentioned, can I learn it? Isn’t that kind of stuff usually a secret...?"

"Hahahaha..." Xuan Shiwu laughed.

"What secret? This technique is something everyone in the Special Investigation Bureau Xuanmen Group has a copy of, oh, it was once modified, and the military took it for use."

"Don’t worry, it’s not a secret, you can learn it boldly!" Xuan Shiwu checked his phone, "I’ll send you a digital version. If you want to print it out, you can do so yourself."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the electronic version of the technique Shiwu sent and felt extremely excited.

"Thank you, Shiwu."

"You’re welcome, treat me to a meal when we get to Sea City."

"Okay, definitely!"

Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t wait to start practicing, and Xuan Shiwu reminded her of the key points to note when practicing this technique.

She also sent Lin Xiaoyan a tutorial video.
