After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 918 - 907: I Will Be the One to Protect You

"Boss, are we just going to sit here and wait for our doom?"

"Of course not!" Bi Xia narrowed her starry eyes, glanced sideways at Meng Chi, "You go wait for news from Ye Xiao now, as soon as you get anything, tell me which side of Yan City people are involved. I want accurate information, and inform Uncle Ye that X Security Company is entering the final phase of training. I want no accidents the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Meng Chi nodded heavily and turned to leave the office.

Bi Xia sat on the swivel chair, leaning her head back against the chair, looking up at the ceiling. Her always bright starry eyes were now bloodshot. She frowned slightly and raised a hand to rub her temple.

[Your Majesty?]

’It’s nothing,’ Bi Xia said faintly, ’probably a side effect from controlling the explosion of that speedboat today, which was beyond my capacity.’

frowned slightly, [You were indeed impulsive today,] then smiled a little, [But undeniably, that impulse was great; you saved two lives.]

Xiao Wu subtly extracted the spiritual power from the Void Space and converted it into the spiritual power Bi Xia needed, replenishing her mental sea bit by bit, [That’s right! Sister is the best!]

’What’s so great?’ Bi Xia chuckled softly, taking a deep breath, ’A lot of lives have disappeared in my hands too.’

and Xiao Wu exchanged glances, both frowning simultaneously. After a while, 007 said, [Your Majesty, I think you could call a friend, maybe Xiao Wu can solve your current doubts.]

Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, ’Xiao Wu is currently all lovey-dovey with my big brother. I’m not so blind as to call Xiao Wu now; at that point, my big brother wouldn’t need an enemy to kill me, he’d do it himself.’

007: ...

With a helpless sigh, Xiao Wu softly said to 007, [Sister is still dwelling on what Elder Zheng said just now.]

nodded, looked at Bi Xia on the electronic screen, [Or, apart from Xiao Wu, there’s someone else you could ask.]

Bi Xia’s starry eyes slightly narrowed, she paused, ’Are you talking about... Fourth Brother?’

[Correct!] 007 clapped his formatted little hands, [If it’s Fourth Brother, he might be able to give better advice, considering he seems to have experienced more than he should at his current age.]

Besides, Qin Zhan probably has more blood on his hands.

Silent, Bi Xia looked at the ceiling without a word and was just about to speak when suddenly her phone rang. She took it out and looked at it, in that instant, Bi Xia chuckled and murmured, "Is this telepathy?"

Fourth Brother: You said you’d video call in a while, it’s already three o’clock. Has the little lazy pig fallen asleep?

B Nine Ah Nine Ah Nine X: No, I was just thinking about whether to call you.

Fourth Brother: So we’re telepathic, aren’t we?

Seeing the message from Qin Zhan matching her murmured words, Bi Xia smiled and replied: Exactly, we’re like birds flying wing to wing, connected at the heart.

Just as she sent the message, a video call came through, Bi Xia paused for a while before clicking on the video. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Upon seeing the youth leaning against the bedhead on the screen, his phoenix eyes gentle and as if they could encompass all of her, Bi Xia felt an instant of bitterness.

Meanwhile, noticing Bi Xia obviously not at home, Qin Zhan paused and said, "Not at home?"

Bi Xia nodded, "Yeah, I’m outside."

Detecting something off in Bi Xia’s voice, Qin Zhan asked softly, "What’s wrong, did something happen?"

"It’s nothing," Bi Xia chuckled, "I can handle it. You know, anyone who offends me is pretty much asking for death."

Qin Zhan chuckled softly, "My Nine is mighty and domineering."

"Not coming home tonight?"

Facing Qin Zhan’s question, Bi Xia was silent for a moment, but ultimately smiled without hiding the truth, "Not coming back, there’s blood on me, it’s hard to explain if they smell it."

Qin Zhan didn’t continue to ask, "If you’re uncomfortable sleeping, go to our home. It’s your home too, isn’t it?"

Listening to Qin Zhan’s words, Bi Xia paused and laughed, "Yes, you’re right."

Looking at the weary face of Bi Xia across the screen, Qin Zhan gently kissed the youth’s cheek on the screen, softly saying, "Don’t think too much. No one is clean, but as long as you’re sure the blood you’ve shed is to protect those most important to you, it’s enough."

"Someday, someone around me might get hurt because of it..."

"Ah Jiu," the young man called out to Bi Xia, his phoenix eyes tender and smiling, voice low and restrained, "If that day ever comes, protect everything you want to protect, and you, let me protect."
