Chapter 144: Apocalypse Princess - Sweet Time (5)

"...Why are you here?" Xiang Kui looked at Jun Lin with a blank and confused look.

After they came back to the city base, shouldn’t Jun Lin go back to his own team members or his own family?

What is he doing in the Jiang Family Residence?

Does the Jiang Kui’s father even know that he’s here?

Jun Lin smiled when he saw the confusion on Xiang Kui’s face. "Your father agree to let me be your bodyguard. My earth elemental ability is very suitable to protect your safety, Jiang Kui."

Xiang Kui: "..."

Xiang Kui: ???

No wait, how did you get that daughter slave to agree to your request?

Xiang Kui was genuinely shocked.

Jun Lin must have played some tricks in front of the Jiang Kui’s father to make him willing to agree to his request to become Jiang Kui’s bodyguard.

Otherwise, there was no way Jun Lin could be here in the first place.

But...

"Why do you want to be my bodyguard?" Xiang Kui frowned. "There are many other bodyguards who are better than you here."

The bodyguards around Jiang Kui: "..."

Miss, please don’t speak nonsense.

Jun Lin smiled and looked at the bodyguards with meaningful look. All of them tacitly looked away and refused to look in Jun Lin’s direction.

This young man looked ordinary and unremarkable, but how could they not know what great thing this brat had done behind Jiang Kui’s back?

"Because it’s you... I want to be by your side," Jun Lin said without hesitation.

Xiang Kui looked at Jun Lin blankly.

At this moment, she really wanted to ask Jun Lin... are you saying this to Xiang Kui or Jiang Kui?

But no.

She couldn’t ask.

They were inside the mission world and not their original world, so it should have been impossible for Jun Lin to remember about her.

Pressing down her thoughts, Xiang Kui pursed her lips and then sat up straighter. "Since you have decided to become my bodyguard, then you have to serve me well!"

"Yes, Miss." Jun Lin smiled when he saw the girl’s arrogant look.

Miss?

Xiang Kui was stunned and then she blushed.

While it was nothing to hear the other bodyguards called her that way because Jiang Kui was already used to it, but this is Jun Lin!

Damn it!

This man wouldn’t end up taking revenge when he remembered, right?

No, she should be the one to take revenge first!

Hmph!

"Then, I want a glass of milk."

"Coming right up~."

Not only Xiang Kui, even the system could see that Jun Lin was in a good mood even after being ordered around by Xiang Kui.

The system: ???

It silently looked at Xiang Kui and silently wondered whether this host of its was a succubus who could charm people without doing anything.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain how Jun Lin changed his appearance so quickly like this.

Xiang Kui didn’t notice the system’s increasingly strange expression.

It was actually wondering what did Jun Lin say to the Jiang Kui’s father yesterday to make him agree to let Jun Lin stay.

While it was not impossible for Xiang Kui to ask the system...

But for some reasons, she didn’t want to.

She looked at Jun Lin’s gentle and somewhat teasing look and pursed her lips, feeling that this man was getting increasingly similar to that Jun Lin whom she used to know.

...

When Xiang Kui was not looking and was still enjoying the sunlight, lying on the balcony leisurely, Jun Lin’s eyes flickered.

There was a system voice in his mind.

[My Lord, are you sure that it’s fine to do this in advance? If he were to know what you’re doing...]

"When you choose Xiang Kui to be the one to come to these worlds, haven’t you been prepared?" Jun Lin cut off the system’s words without hesitation.

He looked at the young woman who looked sleepy and his expression turned gentle.

[But my Lord, he will...]

"Don’t worry, Xiang Kui could handle the rest of the mission on her own. I just need to help her a bit." Jun Lin shook his head.

When the OOC value reached a certain point, Jun Lin’s memory would be recovered.

This setting was something that had never been told to Xiang Kui.

After all, she didn’t even know that Jun Lin would accompany her in these worlds, even though his behavior was more similar to the Jun Lin that Jiang Kui knew before. But inside was not the same person as the one on the outside.

In this world, Xiang Kui directly raised the OOC value from the very beginning through using things that should not have existed during this period of time.

Afterwards, the OOC value fluctuated when she met with Jiang Kui’s father.

Even if it had decreased because Xiang Kui managed to convince Jiang Kui’s father about what had happened back then and that this is still his daughter...

But that value reached the critical point for a moment.

This allowed Jun Lin to recover his memory and his consciousness fully came to this world. Understanding what had happened, Jun Lin’s gaze towards Xiang Kui was filled with helplessness while he was waiting for her to finish her conversation with Jiang Kui’s father.

He understood that Xiang Kui refused to suffer.

There were other ways for Jiang Kui to enact her revenge, but each of them would only make Xiang Kui suffer and raise the OOC value in other ways.

Because Jiang Kui was not exactly the kind of person who could endure suffering and hardship.

So Xiang Kui chose the simplest and most direct methods.

Aside from the fact that the technology was indeed far beyond this era and that the OOC value would obtain a fixed number in this world, it would not affect Xiang Kui much.

She just didn’t know that when the OOC value was high enough... Jun Lin would come here to help her.

Otherwise, Jun Lin would remain extremely similar to the Jun Lin of this apocalypse world with only a few hints that show the difference.
