Armor Guardians

Chapter 192 Crystal Core Trading
Upon entering the reception room, Xia Qianmeng saw her parents, Xia Wei and Xu Fangying, once again.

The next second, Xia Qianxue rushed into her mother's arms like a little animal cub that had been separated from its mother's embrace for a long time. She thought she could be as strong as Xia Qianmeng, but she couldn't help but cry at this moment.

She almost left them forever; if Xia Qianmeng hadn't appeared in time to help her... she would have been dead.

Xia Qianxue rushed over eagerly, but Xia Qianmeng stood watching as if she were a stranger to the situation. Although she was a girl herself, she felt that the identity of a "little cotton-padded jacket" (a term of endearment for a young woman) was no longer relevant to her.

Moreover, thinking about those past events, Xia Qianmeng felt that it would be really difficult for her to become their caring daughter, so she preferred to stand still, just like she used to be independent.

"A Thousand Dreams".

"Ah."

Hearing her father call out, Xia Qianmeng immediately turned her gaze to him, curiously looking at him as if she wanted to say something more.

"Your memory..."

"He's almost fully recovered."

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Ah."

Xia Qianmeng observed Xia Wei, and Xia Wei was also observing Xia Qianmeng; each had their own feelings.

Xia Qianmeng felt that her father had aged a lot. She wondered if he regretted his choices back then, but now that some things had already happened, there was nothing she could do about it.

However, for the sake of family and for the sake of those wonderful childhood memories, she will do her best to ensure that they can live well, be happy and live well behind her back.

The observer still saw his somewhat cold daughter, and Xia Wei thought of his other daughter, Xia Qianxue. He really hoped that Xia Qianmeng could also show weakness and act coquettishly like Xia Qianxue once.

However, Xia Wei understood. After all, Xia Qianmeng used to be a boy, and she had recently gone through so much, so it was indeed a bit difficult for her to act cute.

"Now that we're out, what's the next step?"

“I don’t need help right now. Where would you like to live? I can send someone or take you there myself.”

Although Xia Qianxue had already asked Gao Fei to tell them that they had returned to help her, Xia Qianmeng didn't want their help at this time. She just wanted them to live a good life, which was the greatest help she could receive.

If they wanted to go abroad, Xia Qianmeng felt that her master, Ye Ying, should be able to make it happen, and money shouldn't be a problem.

Xia Qianxue and Xu Fangying overheard their conversation, which drew their attention to Xia Qianmeng and Xia Wei.

Xia Wei and Xu Fangying were still a little scared, and they didn't dare to do anything intimate with Xia Qianmeng, but Xia Qianxue was obviously not so scared. She turned around and went back to Xia Qianmeng's side and hugged Xia Qianmeng's arm: "Wherever you go, we'll go."

"Ah."

Xia Wei echoed Xia Qianxue's words. He hadn't been able to be there for his child as he grew up before, and he felt that if he missed this opportunity again, he might have very few or no chance to see him again in the future.

"Yes, Qianmeng, we went through all this trouble just for you, didn't we? Don't worry, your dad, mom, and sister will never be a burden to you. We will support whatever you want to do in the future."

Xia Qianmeng: "..." In the past, she might have been happy.

But now, Xia Qianmeng feels very complicated inside.

Just then, Xia Qianmeng's phone rang; it was a call from Gao Fei.

"what happened?"

Xia Qianmeng would definitely answer Gao Fei's call, just in case she missed any important information.

“I’ve already had the labs for Uncle and Aunt prepared. Aren’t they coming to help? Since that’s the case, they’ll definitely want their own labs. Have them come and see what they need, and then we can have the funds provided.”

Gao Fei's thoughts were not as complicated as Xia Qianmeng's. If she said she was going to use him, then she was just using him. Xia Wei was a man who could sit in the position of director of the Golden Group Research Institute. Why would she not use such a good talent?
Before Xia Qianmeng could say anything, Xia Wei spoke up again, saying to her, "That's good. Of course we know you're concerned about us, and we're concerned about you too. So your mother and I will go to that laboratory. I think there are some things we can do to help you."

Xia Qianmeng: "..."

In the end, Xia Qianmeng couldn't win against her parents, and Xia Wei and Xu Fangying were able to accelerate their entry into the Black Group, becoming part of its bloodline for continued research.

As for Xia Qianxue, her Vermilion Bird Armor is still usable after her Nirvana, and it's even more powerful now, so she positions herself as Xia Qianmeng's bodyguard.

Xia Qianmeng used to protect her, now it's her turn to protect Xia Qianmeng...

And so, Xia Qianmeng, along with her parents and younger sister, left the Shadow Group's secret base and headed to the Black Group's secret base.

Meanwhile, Wan Qiliu arrived masked in an abandoned, unfinished building.

"Come out, stop hiding. If you're going to make a deal, you need to show some sincerity."

bang~
A cloud of black mist burst forth, and then a purple-haired man appeared in front of Wan Qiliu. If Xia Qianmeng were here, she would recognize this man as the superhuman beast that had fought with her before and had nearly ten arms cut off by her.

In his hands were two summoning devices, one yellow and one gold, which were the summoning devices for the Yellow Dragon Armor and the Yinglong Armor.

"I brought your things, where's yours?"

"Here's the address and the key. Go get them yourselves."

As he spoke, Wan Qiliu tossed a metal box to the purple-haired man, who caught it firmly.

It seemed that this wasn't the first time the two of them had worked together, so the purple-haired man had enough confidence in him and threw both summoners back to Wanqiliu.

At the same time, he didn't forget to tease Wanqiliu: "The Divine Beast Armor Summoning Device is not very useful to the alien beasts, so it doesn't matter if I give it back to you. But you are all too weak. So many of your summoners have died or left. I suggest you surrender to us as soon as possible. You won't be able to hold out when the army arrives."

"...We'll talk about it later. By the way, some people from other countries have been trying to cause me trouble lately. You guys go and deal with them. After you've done it, I'll give you two more crystal cores from a Heavenly-level alien beast."

This is what Wanqiliu uses for trading. When a mutant beast dies, it drops crystal cores. If these cores are not dealt with, the mutant beast may be able to revive.

It was because of this that he knew the crystal cores in the Gold Group were extremely valuable to mutant beasts.
