You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 527 - 508

Shen Mochen fell silent. After a moment, he took Catherine's hand and said softly, "I know you're trying to protect me. Thank you, Kajiena."

The reason Catherine hurried to Shen Mochen's side and even chose to sleep by his side was that she used herself as a pledge to prevent those who harbored hostility towards Shen Mochen from making careless moves.

Catherine turned her head away, finally revealing a hint of the vulnerability expected of a 16-year-old girl: "As long as you know."

"I've been thinking about it too," Shen Mochen said, "I've been in contact with the higher-ups of Buque recently."

"Do you think your Yupi Country can monopolize you? Do you think your Buque can protect you?" Catherine scoffed.

Shen Mochen scratched his head. Although it hurt to hear, it was also the truth. Yupi might be one of the top ten powerful nations in the world, but that really wasn't enough.

"I've been considering it, but first, I have to wait until I can use all my abilities," explained Shen Mochen. "Right now, we still don't know what cards we have to play or what bargaining chips there are."

"There are many eyes on you now, ever since the day you demonstrated your ability to defeat two Transcendents in an instant at Guanghai."

"It's okay, I don't regret it," Shen Mochen said. "If I hadn't done that, I would have regretted seeing you engaged to another man even more!"

"Of course, any man would want to obtain a perfect woman like me at all costs." Catherine's expression softened slightly. "But because of this, you've also offended many people. Especially your superpower, which interests many. Although Buque's public explanation is that you possess a very rare dual superpower, with one being the ability to copy others' powers and release them temporarily, there is, after all, no evidence to prove your power is limited to this."

"But they can't guess the others, right...?"

"There are already guesses," said Catherine with a complicated tone. "Don't underestimate the abilities of those big shots. They have already investigated everyone around you, including Cai Yuncui. How could Cai Yuncui, who has served for over five years, suddenly have the strength for one more battle? And Xia Qingrou's recent outburst was thought to be something Buque could cover up and deceive the whole world. Even Wu Yunpeng, who treated Han Muxue, has been investigated! And when I say 'they,' I mean not just people from your Yupi."

Shen Mochen let out a long breath, recognizing that his approach had been too high-profile and inevitably left some traces. But it was only after Catherine's words that he suddenly realized that in this world, it was very difficult to keep any real secrets. He had thought that his secrets would only be somewhat detected by Buque, but the world was much more complex than he thought. Any flaw could be exploited.

"Sometimes I feel quite guilty about you. If it weren't for my capricious demand that you make a scene at Guanghai Vineyard, you wouldn't have attracted the attention of the whole world... Perhaps your secret wouldn't have been noticed by others," Catherine said softly.

"Don't be like that, didn't I say, I don't regret it?" Shen Mochen kissed Catherine's lips. "Besides, this has to count as a gift for me!"

"Alright, there's no time for regrets now anyway." Catherine's heart warmed, and she licked her lips, "When is your appointment with Fei Yumo?"

"In less than half a month, the next separation month."

"We need to figure out how to unlock your sixth ability... We have to hurry," Catherine said. "If your power is not strong enough, the people you care about will become vulnerabilities that hinder you. Xia Qingrou, Han Muxue, Cai Yuncui, Yin Caiyu... Even me."

"I understand... By the way, Xiao Xingshuang is now in your country, she shouldn't be affecting anything, right?"

"She has already been investigated, and it was determined that there are no ties between you two. She's probably still working at Guardian, I haven't been informed... Your team should have a way to get in touch, right?"

"We do... but she's left our group chat and deleted all of us from friends," Shen Mochen shrugged.

"That really is heartless," Catherine teased.

Shen Mochen just smiled: "It doesn't matter, we were only temporary teammates for a while. She really doesn't know any of my secrets."

Night had fallen, Shen Mochen had just finished escorting Han Muxue from their first day of classes when, coincidentally, they encountered a monster disaster.

As it turned out, Catherine took the lead, drawing out a 40-meter-long machete, and swiftly finished off the monsters in no time.

"This white-haired girl seems even more powerful than Xiao Xingshuang…"

Xia Qingrou hadn't even fired an arrow before the fight was over, and she stuck out her tongue sulkily, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"After all, she is an A-ranked Superpower User," Shen Mochen said, patting her head to comfort her.

"I feel like if you boosted me a bit, I would definitely be more powerful than her!" Xia Qingrou said, unconvinced.

Shen Mochen laughed, "Come on, isn't it good to be carried by a big shot? I wish every fight was this easy!"

Han Muxue complained sourly, "She's so powerful, next time she can come out on her own, no need for us! Doesn't she also have a super bodyguard?"

"Of course, that's possible. From now on, when the alarm sounds, just the two of us will be enough."

Catherine forcefully joined their conversation, hooking her arm through Shen Mochen's.

Han Muxue frowned severely, "In your dreams! You really have some nerve! When exactly will you leave?"

Such a shameless person, hooking her arm through my man's!

However, Han Muxue now had the self-awareness to know that she couldn't pry them apart, and that trying would only reveal her impotent rage. She simply hooked her arm through Shen Mochen's other arm, leaving Xia Qingrou with a face full of dissatisfaction.

What about me? What about me? You're all hooked arm in arm, what do I get? Muxue, can't you consider your teammate's feelings? Damn it! freewёbnoνel.com

She followed behind the three, feeling like an outsider.

No, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got! She eyed Shen Mochen's back, began a sprint from a count of one to three, and suddenly leapt onto Shen Mochen's back, hugging his neck and clinging to him tightly like a koala.

"The four of you planning to walk back?" Liu Chaoyan looked helplessly at the bickering and jealous group, sighing to Cai Yuncui, "Looks like it's just the two of us taking the car back."

"Hm? Oh, right, uh… let's go back first then…"

Cai Yuncui followed Liu Chaoyan into the car.

Liu Chaoyan caught a glimpse of the group outside the car from the rear-view mirror, thinking to herself that the battle had only just begun and there would probably be another round of fights tonight. It seemed she needed to put on noise-cancelling earmuffs in advance.

Indeed, upon returning to the dormitory, Han Muxue walked straight into Shen Mochen's bedroom and lay down.

Then, waving at Shen Mochen, she said, "Well, aren't you coming over quickly?"

Shen Mochen was about to speak when Catherine, smiling, firmly grabbed his arm.
