What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Su Yan hummed in agreement.

She remained calm, as if everything that had happened in those brief three seconds was perfectly normal.

Yes, Shen Muchan was indeed the best assassin in the world.

Murder in the mortal world.

He left no trace for a thousand miles.

Open and aboveboard.

Unrivaled.

Chapter 160: Chapter Seven is a kiss, a hug, and a sweet dream.

Not long after, the glass of wine arrived.

Su Yan withdrew her gaze from the night outside the window and said, "It's getting late, I'm leaving."

Upon hearing this, Shen Muchan looked up at Su Yan, but instead of saying goodbye, she did not say goodbye.

“Gu Yuqiu isn’t an idiot. Even if she really is, Songtang would still be able to sense my arrival.”

She raised her glass, took a sip of the new wine, and said with a contented expression, "I'm very curious now how you're going to explain this to her, so... your idea of ​​keeping it from her and me keeping it from her has already failed."

Towards the end, her tone became exceptionally light and cheerful, truly conveying a youthful playfulness.

It's hard to imagine that just moments before, she had rushed off to a distant place and killed without any mercy.

"I'm not an idiot either."

Su Yan calmly said, "Since I've agreed to your intervention, I have a solution."

"is it?"

Shen Muchan raised an eyebrow, about to make a sarcastic remark, when she suddenly remembered the past when Gu Yuqiu punished her, and the emotion in her eyes vanished instantly.

Those were the humiliating memories she least wanted to recall: kneeling on the ground, bowing her head and crawling, and having her lips and tongue played with by that index finger.

She paused for a moment, then said, "Then I wish you good luck."

Su Yan looked at her, noticing the gloom in her eyes, and hummed in agreement.

At any other time, she would have pressed Shen Muchan for answers and embarrassed her, but now that they were cooperating, she decided to let it go.

She got up and left, leaving behind her last words.

"Don't let Gu Yuqiu see you until I agree, otherwise everything is null and void."

Shen Muchan took a big gulp of wine, letting the strong liquor drown out the past.

Then she looked at Su Yan's back, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "Then you'll have to keep an eye on her."

……

……

Tokyo at night, everything is as usual.

Those places that should be bustling remain brightly lit and lively, while places that should be quiet are no longer necessarily peaceful.

The death of a fifth-ranked individual is a major event from any perspective, and the area in front of the Shiramizu Shrine was already packed with vehicles rushing to the scene.

Countless people dressed in formal attire rushed anxiously up the long steps, through the front temple to the back courtyard, and surrounded the cordon of the murder scene, asking what had happened and exchanging the information they had.

The monk Jiehai was quite famous in Yingzhou. He was also a fifth-rank monk. More importantly, he was a prominent figurehead who could represent and symbolize many people.

The death of someone like this, especially a sudden and inexplicable one with their head severed, is a fact that no one can accept or even want to believe.

The reason is simple.

That person could kill the monk Jiehai tonight and leave without a trace; another day, he could make them die in their sleep, without any chance of resistance.

Where is Chunhai?

A powerful figure arrived outside the blockade line, found several familiar allies, and after learning about the situation, asked them questions.

"He/She has a mental problem."

The person he was questioning said with a heavy expression, "Chunhai witnessed the whole thing and was greatly shocked. He hasn't recovered yet."

"Who has the capability to do this?"

"Master Jiehai isn't considered strong among fifth-tier experts, but he's extremely skilled in defense. He might not be able to win against another fifth-tier powerhouse, but the possibility of him losing is extremely low. His past battles have mostly ended in stalemates..."

Hearing this, the important figure grew increasingly irritated and interrupted, asking directly, "I mean, who has this ability?"

The room was deathly silent.

Everyone was looking at him, but no one spoke up.

A moment later, the important figure finally realized what was happening, and his face turned deathly pale.

Seeing that he understood, the man sighed and said, "That's why we're sitting here doing nothing. What if things really involve... Her Majesty the Empress or that person?"

Powerful figures like them, knowing full well that the other party could kill them directly, would certainly not risk the lives of their subordinates to die a glorious death.

The deaths of their subordinates are insignificant to them, but it's best if their deaths are meaningful, whether as bargaining chips or something else entirely.

In short, they need to make sure they are safe first.

Given this situation, with such clear suspicions, their safety cannot be guaranteed at all, which makes the matter quite difficult.

"Let's have a meeting."

The important figure looked at the crowd and suddenly said, "Her Majesty the Queen has a responsibility to deal with these matters. I believe she cannot bear to see such atrocities and will surely find the murderer."

After the words were spoken, people looked at each other, exchanged opinions in hushed tones, and finally nodded.

……

……

The night had not yet faded.

When Su Yan returned home, the smell of alcohol had been blown away by the wind, and she was as clean as before.

She changed her shoes, looked at the sofa, and then at Gu Yuqiu, who still had his back to her, and said, "You're awake?"

Songtang poked half her head out from the sofa, as if emerging from a pond, staring into Su Yan's eyes, thinking to herself, "Isn't that just nonsense?"

Su Yan pretended not to see her, slowly walked behind the sofa, and lowered her head slightly.

Gu Yuqiu was still resting with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, a warm sensation quietly arrived, bringing her a soft and fragrant feeling.

Songtang, who was lying to the side, opened her eyes wide and looked at this scene with a bit of envy and jealousy.

It subconsciously stepped on the sofa with its front paws, feeling the different texture, and sighed inwardly.

This feels really nice, it's very soft.

But how can it compare to the softness it sees now?

That's so soft it could soften anyone's heart, right?

"What's up?"

Gu Yuqiu did not open her eyes, and her expression remained calm.

At this moment, Su Yan leaned down slightly, wrapped her arms around her chest, let a few strands of hair fall down, gently brushing against that perfect face, and whispered, "Can't I hug you?"

Gu Yuqiu asked, "Is this how you hug someone?"

"What's wrong with hugging like this?"

Su Yan's tone was straightforward, as if it were a matter of course.

"Unbutton up and loosen your coat."

Gu Yuqiu said softly, "There's nothing left, so it's not normal for you to hug someone like that?"

Su Yan remained expressionless and said softly, "I just wanted you to hear the sound of my heartbeat."

Songtang's eyes widened, thinking that these words were too shameless and not something you could say at all!

But... doesn't that sound a bit too guilty?

As it was thinking this, it indeed heard almost the same question.

"so what?"

Gu Yuqiu said mockingly, "What is your reason for doing this? It's so unlike yourself."

"It's you." Su Yan slowly closed her eyes, hugged her even more tightly, and gently tightened her arms.

The soft, fragrant sensation felt more real, but Gu Yuqiu no longer felt as comfortable.

No matter what it is, anything done in excess is problematic.

Gu Yuqiu didn't react much, simply giving a casual "hmm".

Su Yan had known her for a long time and understood what she meant. She said softly, "You're leaving soon. I don't want to bother you during these last few days."

Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and said, "Oh?"

Su Yan didn't explain anything further.

For example, this is actually my place, and I should be in charge of things here.

For example, you can just relax and enjoy yourself from now on, there's no need to worry about it too much.

For example... I just don't trust you enough and don't want you to have the chance to be fickle.

She didn't say any of these things.

She believed in Gu Yuqiu.

Everything is already understood without being said.

Gu Yuqiu understood her meaning perfectly and didn't pursue the matter further, casually asking, "So, how did your talks go?"

Su Yan said in a low voice, "It's so-so."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement again.
