Scourge Messenger

Chapter 300, I'll call out to you.
No matter how much Shang Xinlei begged and insulted him, Yan Qing continued to punish her mercilessly. Today, Shang Xinlei was dressed in tight shorts and black stockings, which, from behind, looked like two straight lines suddenly rising into two rounded mountains. With each of the thunder and fire, the mountains trembled slightly, and Shang Xinlei's cries grew fainter and fainter, eventually turning into strange sobs.

After five or six slaps, Yan Qing had almost cooled down, but seeing that Shang Xinlei still dared to be defiant and curse him, he slapped her again. Who told Shang Xinlei to tease him like that, almost making him look bad? If he didn't take this opportunity to teach her a lesson, this little cook would probably ride roughshod over him from now on!

"Do you dare to cause trouble like this again!?"

"Woo..."

"Dare you? Answer me!"

"Don't dare..."

Shang Xinlei seemed somewhat dazed, her gaze unfocused. She bit her lower lip, her eyes alluring and soft, a far cry from the mischievous devil she had just been. Her face was flushed red as if it were about to bleed. She sniffed lightly, looking at Yan Qing with a resentful expression, her eyes practically dripping with tears.

Yan Qing felt the cooled flames in his heart reignite, and his mouth became parched. As if possessed, he struck again hard.

Shang Xinlei let out a cute snort, staring straight at Yan Qing, and softly cursed, "You pervert."

Oh no, I can no longer pretend to be a gentleman.

After Yan Qing released her restraints, Shang Xinlei got up and straightened the wrinkles in her clothes. Like a wronged little wife, she sat in front of Yan Qing, kneeling on the bed with her legs together, not a single gap between them. They usually had countless topics to talk about, but at this moment they couldn't say anything, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

Yan Qing thought to himself, "This is bad. I don't even need to go to the Demon Gathering Land. It seems that I only need to take one more step forward to bring the Thieves' House to the brink of collapse and disintegration."

"No, you can't." Shang Xinlei seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. "Unless you take off the bandages on your face first."

What?! You think just unwrapping the bandages will solve it?!
Yan Qing concealing his true identity was merely a long-standing habit, leaving himself a way out: "I can hide my identity as long as I remove the bandages." It wasn't an insurmountable bottom line. In fact, after the third mission, if Shang Xinlei had just asked more earnestly and sincerely, he might have unwrapped the bandages and revealed himself to them.

However, seeing the cunning look in Shang Xinlei's eyes, Yan Qing knew she was just bluffing. He knew that as soon as he removed the bandages, Shang Xinlei would immediately run home and make fun of him about it the next time they met. That was just the kind of person she was—playful, adorable, never giving up, and quirky.

The flame in her heart gradually died down, replaced by a faint sweetness. Yan Qing turned her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Are you free five days from now until the next mission?"

“If you’re not going to take me to the Demon Gathering Land, I’ll probably be back in Jiangnan City in a couple of days,” Shang Xinlei said. “It’s my third brother’s birthday, and I need to go back to celebrate with him. Also, you’re so arrogant, you don’t even look me in the eye when you talk to me, humph.”

Upon hearing the sound, Yan Qing met Shang Xinlei's gaze directly. Seeing the subtle allure emanating from her brows, the faint smile at the corner of her lips, and the sparkle in her eyes as she blinked, Yan Qing was unsurprisingly the first to succumb. Shang Xinlei chuckled, then immediately sat up straight, pretending not to laugh.

“I haven’t properly explored Jiangnan City yet,” Yan Qing suddenly said.

Shang Xinlei said irritably, "You've never been to Jiangnan City, how can you travel around?"

Yan Qing asked, "What if I could come?"

Shang Xinlei vaguely guessed what was going on, "When you come to Jiangnan City, I will personally take you to eat all kinds of Jiangnan delicacies, from day to night!"

“Then it’s a date,” Yan Qing said. “When I get back, we’ll take a day to go to Jiangnan City before our next mission.”

"...You're not lying to me?" Shang Xinlei blinked, looking pitiful, but her words were so fierce that they sent chills down Yan Qing's spine: "If you break the contract, I'll stab you to death."

"Do not lie to you."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to calm Shang Xinlei down. "Then I'll head back now—"

"It's not over yet." Shang Xinlei pressed down on his thigh: "You still owe me something."

"what's up?"

"I want the same treatment as Black Wolf." Shang Xinlei stared at him, her lips pressed tightly together. "What Black Wolf has, I want too!"

Yan Qing didn't hesitate much: "Okay." He took out the [Catastrophe Token] and selected to invite the new member 'Shang Xinlei'. Soon, Shang Xinlei's expression changed, an incredulous look appearing on her face as she stared blankly at Yan Qing: "Just now, the Catastrophe Organization..."

“That’s right, the Cataclysm Organization is my organization, and I invited you,” Yan Qing said. “The reason Black Wolf calls me leader is because she joined the Cataclysm Organization during the last mission.”

Shang Xinlei accepted the invitation and stood there in a daze for a while. Yan Qing prepared her questions in her mind, about [Immortal Journey], about [Love Lock], about [Disaster Organization]. However, the first question Shang Xinlei asked after she came back to her senses was: "Did Black Wolf know you were Yan Qing, the leader of the Disaster Organization, before I did?"

"More or less," Yan Qing casually brushed aside the topic, "Let me tell you about [Immortal Journey]..."

Why did you invite her first instead of me?

"Because she was needed for the mission, I hadn't planned to invite her beforehand."

"So you never intended to invite me, and only gave me a seat because she got in?"

"I haven't collected my clothes yet, I'm going home now—"

"Don't go!" Shang Xinlei held him down tightly: "You still have something you haven't given me!"

Yan Qing looked confused: "That's it. The only area where Black Wolf has an advantage over you is the [Catastrophe Organization]. Otherwise, there's no difference."

"And another thing!" Shang Xinlei retorted firmly, moving her legs even closer to Yan Qing.

Yan Qing thought for a moment, then hesitantly opened his arms. Seeing that Shang Xinlei did not object, he embraced her. Shang Xinlei took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his neck. This was their first intimate contact. At first, their bodies were a little stiff, but they quickly relaxed and snuggled together softly.

"Yan Qing?"

"Ok?"

"I'll just call out to you."

The girl in his arms was warm and had a faint fruity scent. Holding her, Yan Qing's mood calmed down, and all the restless thoughts in his mind gradually dissipated. He quietly enjoyed this sweet moment until eternity.

Shang Xinlei looked satisfied. After embracing for a while, she suddenly muttered, "No wonder Black Wolf likes it so much..."

She lowered her voice and whispered in Yan Qing's ear, "I won't go this time. I'll wait for you in Jiangnan City."

Yan Qing felt his ears being attacked again, and then Shang Xinlei instantly broke free from his embrace, pulled him up, and pushed him out of the room: "Okay, you can go back now!"

After closing the door, Shang Xinlei jumped onto the bed, hugged her pillow tightly, and twisted her legs together. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she kicked her legs wildly in mid-air and pursed her lips, letting out a seductive hum.

……

...

Yan Qing returned to his room, his head still spinning. The thought of not seeing Shang Xinlei for five days made him suddenly regret not agreeing to take her with him… With his willpower, he should be able to endure five days and four nights, right? If he couldn't… the two of them should be able to keep it a secret from White Fox and Black Wolf, right?

Yan Qing had originally been looking forward to this journey to the Land of Demon Gathering, but now he seemed to be looking forward to his trip to Jiangnan City five days later...

knock knock!

Yan Qing was slightly taken aback when she heard the knock on the door. She thought to herself, "Shang Xinlei couldn't hold back after being apart for just a short while? Me too, we're so in sync!"
However, when Yan Qing opened the door, she found Yao Shiyuan standing outside, her hair still dripping with water, as if she had just come over after taking a shower. She didn't say anything when she saw Yan Qing, but grabbed Yan Qing's wrist and pulled her towards her room.

Hey, I just got off work! You dragged me into this shift without even having a sip of water!? What do you guys take me for?!
