She let go of Su Yan's hand, got back into the car, stepped on the gas, but didn't drive back the way she came.

She drove the sports car into the sea until it met the waves before she stepped on the brakes.

Su Yan watched this scene, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said nothing.

The reason she raised her eyebrows was certainly not because she felt sorry for him.

To her, even the most expensive and luxurious sports cars are just toys. As long as she says a word, countless people are willing to give her the best toys to ruin, and she will never utter a single complaint.

She just couldn't understand what Gu Yuqiu was doing.

until the next moment.

Gu Yuqiu opened the car door, got out of the car barefoot, and then sat down on the hood of the car.

Looking at the scene in the distance, Su Yan wondered what this was all about.

Thinking this, she walked over to Gu Yuqiu and sat down next to her, saying, "What's gotten into you this time?"

Gu Yuqiu didn't look at her and said, "Since you don't want to leave, then I'll keep you company."

Su Yan said in a slightly cold voice, "What does this have to do with you driving your car into the sea?"

"You can see it..."

Gu Yuqiu's tone was very light: "Isn't this good?"

Su Yan fell silent.

Gu Yuqiu was taller than her, with long, slender legs. She was sitting in the car, her hands supporting her on the hood, her bare feet gently splashing the waves, her eyes full of contentment.

She snorted and said, "Don't you think you're being childish?"

"Ok?"

Gu Yuqiu turned to look at her, his gaze shifting from the coldness in her eyes to her heaving chest, then moving downwards, and he burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Yan said coldly.

"Feel sorry."

Gu Yuqiu blinked, hugged her waist, and said with a smile, "I forgot your legs aren't as long as mine."

Su Yan said with slight annoyance, "It's a problem with this car, what does it have to do with me?"

The two of them were sitting a bit too far back. The problem could be solved by moving forward a little, but how could she possibly do that?

Gu Yuqiu said, "Oh."

Hearing that "oh," Su Yan became even more annoyed and said, "Can't you be a decent human being for once?"

Gu Yuqiu smiled but remained silent.

Seeing that she was no longer speaking, Su Yan felt a little better and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

Gu Yuqiu casually asked, "You have an idea?"

“There are some.”

Su Yan said, "Since you're not the same person you used to be, and your judgment isn't as accurate anymore, and you're almost finished reading the book, why don't you go and experience it for yourself?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement, looking puzzled.

Su Yan said, "I need you to verify your guesses about the changes that the anomalies in that sea will bring after they actually land on this planet."

"Don't you think it's a waste to make me do this kind of thing?" Gu Yuqiu glanced at her.

"Fortunately."

Seeing that she did not refuse immediately, Su Yan continued, "No matter who else is given this task, no one can do it better or make me trust you more."

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "If those who followed me heard this, they would probably be extremely disappointed."

"of course not."

Su Yan looked at her and said in an unquestionable tone, "No one in this world can compare to you, and they can't and won't have any complaints about you."

Gu Yuqiu laughed and said, "Does that mean that everyone has to be subservient to me?"

Su Yan hummed in agreement and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"But I don't think so."

Gu Yuqiu turned to face her, slowly leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "I haven't forgotten the time you pinned me down."

Su Yan took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. Her cheeks were a little hot, and she said in a cold voice, "That's another matter."

Gu Yuqiu chuckled and said, "But it's also true."

"I'm talking to you about something serious... Can you please stop changing the subject?"

Su Yan looked at the mischievous smile in her eyes and said with slight annoyance, "Besides, haven't you tried it on me too?"

Gu Yuqiu said innocently, "I wonder who just told me that it's only natural to be submissive in front of me?"

Su Yan sneered and remained silent, thinking to herself, "How could you say such a thing?"

More importantly, isn't this even a separate issue?

Gu Yuqiu suddenly asked, "Are you angry?"

"No."

Su Yan looked at her with a half-smile and said, "How could I dare to be angry with you?"

Gu Yuqiu chuckled and said earnestly, "Be more broad-minded."

You should say this to yourself...

Her words abruptly stopped, and Su Yan's smile gradually faded. She couldn't help but feel annoyed, realizing that she had once again inadvertently steered the conversation away from the topic.

She stared into Gu Yuqiu's eyes and said unhappily, "I'm talking to you about serious business, can you please stop interrupting?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Then I'll listen."

"As I said before, you help me determine the changes brought about by the unusual activity in that sea."

Su Yan asked, "Is there a problem?"

Gu Yuqiu nodded and then said, "Of course there's a problem, and a big one at that."

Su Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Be direct, stop speaking in a nonsensical way."

"Of course it's human language."

Gu Yuqiu asked seriously, "Where is my salary?"

Su Yan was stunned.

She remained silent for a long time, repeating the words in her mind several times to make sure she hadn't misheard. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and said angrily, "Can't you be serious for once?"

She simply couldn't understand it; she never expected to hear such a statement. She found it utterly absurd and completely illogical.

No matter how you analyze it, there's nothing wrong with this for Gu Yuqiu, and it's impossible for her to have any other intentions or be plotting a huge conspiracy behind it.

Gu Yuqiu guessed that she would be angry, and explained, "But I get paid by the Special Affairs Bureau."

Su Yan didn't want to talk anymore.

"They are still paying me my salary right now, without interruption."

Gu Yuqiu patiently said, "If I don't want anything, it would be a bit too much for them, and it wouldn't sound good if word got out."

Su Yan asked, "Then what do you want?"

Before Gu Yuqiu could speak, she added, "Don't say you want me. Right now, you're just a freeloader. You don't deserve me."

"Is that so..."

Gu Yuqiu sighed with some regret, seemingly genuinely holding onto this idea.

She looked at the approaching tide, lifted her feet lightly, kicking up snow foam, and said, "Then I want to be with you, instead of being busy alone."

Su Yan glanced at her and reminded her, "I'm very busy."

This is indeed the case.

She is very different from Gu Yuqiu. She is the leader of the messengers of natural disasters. Even though she has always hated being deified and has rarely appeared in front of the world in recent years, becoming a vague symbol, this does not mean that she is really just a symbol.

As a purely borderless relief organization, the Disaster Messenger faces an extremely heavy workload every day. Even though she is the highest leader and does not need to be involved in everything, the amount of work that comes to her is still enormous.

The only thing that would give her the right to put aside her current affairs and temporarily set them aside is the massive upheaval that happened a few days ago on Christmas Eve.

Otherwise, how could she have been merely an incarnation when she first went to Xin Chu?

Although the Special Affairs Bureau played a role, it was more because she couldn't let go of what she was doing that she agreed so easily instead of insisting.

"These are all minor matters."

Gu Yuqiu said, "If you're worried, just leave behind an avatar."

Su Yan still didn't understand and asked, "Why do you insist that I come with you?"

Gu Yuqiu sighed and gave her a reason that left her speechless, even more unexpected than her previous question about salary.

"I am very weak right now."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, I can be very strong, even invincible, but that's ultimately just external force."

Su Yan fell silent.

Logically speaking, she should be comforting Gu Yuqiu now, whether through words or actions, but she did nothing and remained silent.

This is a problem that Gu Yuqiu inevitably had to face from the moment she refused to give up on her beliefs.

If she hadn't handled the situation so skillfully, directly defeating those four peak fifth-tier experts in the eyes of the world on that Christmas Eve, proving that she was still invincible, she would have been in trouble long ago.

Where in the world can one find such stillness, as if the world were dead?

The sound of pages turning could be heard in the wind.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at the ancient scroll of slumber that had appeared out of nowhere. Seeing the book had thinned considerably, she said, "Isn't this the real reason you didn't finish reading it?"

"Ah."

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "What's past is past, and what's lost can never be regained, even if I never finish reading this book."

Su Yan said, "It's a bit of a pity."
