Girl, There's Something Wrong With You - Chapter 28

“Chu Qingqing.”

“Cui Jinqi.”

Wang Wanrou introduced her two close friends to her father.

The two girls greeted Wang Maohong, and after a round of formalities and pleasantries, they followed Wang Wanrou into her bedroom.

“It’s bad, Wanrou! It’s really bad!” As soon as the door was closed, Cui Xiaoniang clung to Miss Wang’s thigh, wailing miserably, “Xing Yuanzhi is spending the night with Cheng Jinyang outside! I’m going to be heartbroken, boohoo…”

“There are too many secret hideouts in the Xing family’s Ground Network; we can’t locate them in the short term.” Miss Qingqing also frowned, her expression grim. “If this continues, we’ll be eliminated.”

“So what does that have to do with me?” Miss Wang said lazily.

“If Xing Yuanzhi ends up with Cheng Jinyang, you wouldn’t be able to accept it either!” Cui Xiaoniang began to stir up trouble. “Just think, if she really marries Cheng Jinyang, she’ll definitely make him bathe three times a day!”

“And then force him to use her special shower gel,” Miss Qingqing added. “He’d be completely soaked in her scent, crudely asserting her dominance.”

“The cleaner she makes Jinyang, the less we can have him,” Cui Xiaoniang said. “She’ll probably push for everyone to sleep separately, while she cuddles with Jinyang in bed, and we can only watch from the sidelines.”

“Later, when she becomes the matriarch of the Cheng family, she’ll call the shots in the clan.” Miss Qingqing said, “She’ll force us to clean the bedrooms every day, or we won’t be able to stay in the clan and level up.”

“She might even make you clean the toilets, Wanrou! Can you stand that?” Cui Xiaoniang pulled out her trump card.

“Hm?” Wang Wanrou raised an eyebrow and gave her a cold look, making Cui Xiaoniang quickly retract her words.

“But Wanrou,” Miss Qingqing sighed, “you know Xing Yuanzhi’s personality. She’s not an easygoing person. Once she confirms her relationship with Jinyang, she won’t allow him to be so obedient to your every word anymore.”

That was a straightforward truth, making Wang Wanrou sneer: “If she thinks she’s capable, then let her try.”

“Wanrou, instead of waiting for her to become a threat and rashly offend you, why don’t we take the initiative?” Cui Xiaoniang made a single-hand downward cutting gesture. “Use your unparalleled wisdom to help us find their exact location, and then we can go stop her. What do you think?”

“No thanks,” Wang Wanrou said with a mocking smile, her expression clearly showing her skepticism about their provocation. “With Xing Yuanzhi’s temperament, even if she sneaks away, she wouldn’t compromise her principles. The concerns you have were never likely to happen from the start.”

“It’s not that we’re worried she would shamelessly engage in such behavior just to win early,” Miss Qingqing denied. “What we’re worried about is, with a lone man and woman in a secluded place, what if sparks fly? What if Jinyang is enchanted and decides he can’t marry anyone but her?”

“Impossible,” Wang Wanrou said decisively.

“There’s always a chance,” Cui Jinqi said anxiously.

“The so-called chance is merely a limitation of human wisdom. It’s only able to account for ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine possibilities and attributes the rest to fate,” Wang Wanrou sneered. “Finding Xing Yuanzhi is simple. Just go to the Hejian Xing family’s clan territory and inform Xing Shuhe of the situation. The Xing family would never allow her to take such risks and loiter in the south city filled with high-level demons.”

Cui Jinqi: ……

Chu Qingqing: ……

Brilliant, truly a precise strategy.

The Hejian Xing family no longer has other fifth-grade ability users, and all their hopes are pinned on Xing Yuanzhi. They wouldn’t tolerate her taking risks, especially wandering in a city teeming with great demons.

Since they don’t know the layout of the Xing family’s Ground Network, Xing Shuhe must be well aware of it. So, the problem is cleverly resolved.

“But if I were you, I wouldn’t choose this moment to go out easily,” Wang Wanrou suddenly said.

“Why?” The two girls were puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“Explaining is too troublesome,” Wang Wanrou said indifferently. “I don’t have the time for that.”

The girls were left speechless.

However, given Miss Wang’s wisdom, even though they didn’t understand why, they dared not ignore her. They could only make a mental note of it and quickly plan to go to the Hejian Xing family to have Xing Shuhe bring Xing Yuanzhi and Cheng Jinyang back.

After seeing off the two bothersome girls, Wang Wanrou continued to sit in her seat, leisurely closing her eyes. Her fifth-grade-level mental ability extended outward.

South of Jiangning, at the Liyang military base.

The four figures in black cloaks had returned to the military camp. Lin Hu looked around from beneath her hood, feeling as if she had been away for a long time.

“What are you planning to do next?” Qi Shu asked.

“I don’t know,” Lin Hu said, shaking her head in confusion.

She wanted to find Chu Qingqing to ask why she had killed her brother, but she felt it was pointless to ask.

Wasn’t it obvious?

She wanted revenge on Chu Qingqing, but during her unconscious state, it was Chu Qingqing who had been financially supporting her, which made it hard for her to feel hatred.

What was even more terrifying was that her memory of her brother was no longer clear. Even her sense of self was beginning to fade slowly…

“There’s something off,” Liang Ruoruo suddenly said.

The group of great demons noticed that the clone soldiers around them had gathered and were watching them intently.

The clone technology, or Blood Shadow Splitting Divine Art, was provided to the Liyang side by the demons and was used to mass-produce physical shells capable of housing resurrected souls.

Since they were meant to house souls, it meant that without souls, all commands were programmed into the clones after they came off the production line.

Patrolling, cleaning the base, maintaining order… their well-developed but empty minds could only mechanically perform these simple tasks, and they wouldn’t have any emotions.

Curiosity was a complex emotion and not something clones should have.

“Should we take action?” Qi Shu asked.

“Let’s not be hasty,” Liu Xiang said solemnly. “We should ask the Liyang commander first.”

Clones posed no real threat to the great demons, but an ill-intentioned enemy hiding behind the scenes might. Clarifying the truth was far more important than dealing with them.

“They’re making me uncomfortable,” Liang Ruoruo complained. “Could it be that the Liyang army is planning to take action against us?”

If that were the case, she could start a massacre.

“That’s a possibility, but it’s unlikely,” Liu Xiang said. “They know our level and strength; it’s not very probable…”

Before he could finish, a bullet aimed at Lin Hu was deflected by Qi Shu’s urgent deployment of tangible light, narrowly saving her.

“Who?!” Liu Xiang shouted angrily.

“I didn’t see the shooter; he’s hiding among the clones!” Liang Ruoruo quickly replied.

“Check who is carrying weapons!” Qi Shu’s gaze turned menacing as he looked at the clones.

“They all seem to…” Lin Hu whispered to the others, “be carrying weapons, right?”
