Dragon Raja: Starting with acquiring Orochi, a counterattack against the gods.

Ye Sheng had an impression of this name. Not long ago, he had discussed with Yaji about this S-level freshman who had stirred up the academy as soon as he entered the school. But why did this freshman want to join him?

Ye Sheng was a little confused. He clicked "accept" casually, but before he could send the newly typed question mark, the other party sent a message.

Kazama Ruri: Senior Brother Ye Sheng, you don't want people to know that you like Shude Aki, do you?

Ye Sheng: ?

Ye Sheng: ...

Chapter 89 I thought you and Chu Zihang were a couple

Ye Sheng looked at the message on his phone, his head full of question marks, and sent an ellipsis.

The other party replied instantly.

Kazama Ruri: Do you know why the principal asked you to come back? He has a task for you and Shutoku Aki, and I hope you won't agree to it.

Ye Sheng stared at the message, speechless for a long time, finally believing the rumors circulating on the school forum that S-class students might not be very bright.

He turned off his phone and ignored it, planning to talk to Shudeya about this strange guy when she woke up. But when the train stopped and Shudeya slowly woke up, she saw a silent girl standing outside the train window.

The girl wore a dark green school uniform, her long, jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her delicate and beautiful face was expressionless, except for her dark eyes, which were like deep pools, unfathomable at first glance.

Shudeya rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice a little hoarse from sleeping too long: "Have we arrived?"

She received no response, and following Ye Sheng's gaze, she was slightly taken aback when she saw Yuan Zhinu.

Reaching out and tugging at the boy's sleeve, Aki Shuto whispered, "That classmate looks familiar. Isn't she the S-class freshman who's been all the rage on the forum lately? What's she doing here? She can't be waiting for us, can she?"

Few people were returning to the academy at this time, and the train was empty except for the two of them. Shudeya was very puzzled and did not understand why she had appeared.

Ye Sheng's expression turned somewhat grim: "She came here to wait for us."

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped out of the carriage, the girl looked up, her voice devoid of emotion, and asked casually, "Want to chat?"

Jiu Deya and Ye Sheng exchanged a glance, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes, but ultimately nodded.

They also wanted to know what this freshman who had been in the spotlight wanted to talk to them about.

Finding a secluded corner, Yuan Zhinv cut straight to the point: "You all already know, right? The principal temporarily transferred you back because he has a task for you."

Aki Shuto hesitated before nodding. This gentle and charming Japanese girl had a good impression of Ruri Kazama, who was also Japanese. She said softly, "But we still don't know what the mission is. What do you want to say?"

"I'd like to tell you about your mission this time."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the principal should let you go to the Yangtze River in China. They found traces of the King of Bronze and Fire there. You need to explore the Baidi City hidden under the Yangtze River."

Shudeya was quite surprised. Ye Sheng asked directly, "How did you know? The missions of the Execution Department are all confidential, right? How did you know this?"

"You don't need to know how I know this. You just need to know that if you go on this mission, you will definitely die."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense upon hearing this, and both Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji's expressions turned ugly.

"Are you questioning our capabilities?" Ye Sheng asked, his tone already unfriendly.

Although he had heard about the S-class freshman's record, including defeats of Caesar and Chu Zihang, it didn't mean Ye Sheng could tolerate being looked down upon.

He and Shudeya are the best young duo in the executive department. Over the years, they have completed countless missions perfectly. Their experience and teamwork are top-notch, even surpassing many veteran duos.

They may not be as good as the one in front of them in terms of bloodline, but when it comes to carrying out missions, what does this freshman know?

As if oblivious to Ye Sheng's displeasure, Yuan Zhinü remained calm and serious, saying, "If you go on this mission, you will all die."

"That is a forbidden area that humans cannot trespass into." Looking at Ye Sheng's black eyes, Yuan Zhinv said word by word: "Anyone who trespasses will surely die."

She obviously didn't use a harsh tone, but when Ye Sheng heard this, he felt goose bumps all over his body.

A chill ran down his spine, and he felt his scalp tingle.

He had a feeling that the girl had no reason to lie to him, and that what she said was probably the truth, but he still felt a little unwilling and gritted his teeth, saying, "So what? It's just death."

“I was prepared for this the day I joined the Executive Department. I am ready to sacrifice myself for the mission at any time. Aki and I are both prepared for this.”

Jiude Aki didn't say anything, she just stood beside Ye Sheng. This very gentle-looking girl had a firm gaze at this moment, and silently supported Ye Sheng with her actions.

They may not be the strongest bloodline specialists, but they are definitely not cowards who fear death.

Yuan Zhinv looked at the two of them with interest, then suddenly laughed: "Can't you just live a good life? Why do you have to go and die? Why do you have to be a pair of doomed lovers?"

Upon hearing this, Shudeya's eyes widened instantly, and her cheeks flushed crimson. As if realizing her lapse in composure, she quickly lowered her head, and one could vaguely see the blush spreading all the way to the tips of her ears.

Ye Sheng blushed and became anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yuan Zhinu tilted her head. Because her face now had an expression, she didn't look so cold and aggressive anymore. She smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "You two haven't even gotten to be together properly yet, and you're already going to your deaths together. I think that's not worth it."

"Since you like each other, just be together. Otherwise, it's no fun to confess your feelings when you're about to die. Suicide pacts are not romantic at all."

“But…” Ye Sheng wanted to argue, but Yuan Zhinv interrupted him directly.

"As for this task, you don't need to worry, I will go in your place."

After these words were spoken, Ye Sheng and Jiude Yaji were both stunned.

“To tell you the truth, I absolutely have to go on this mission, but the principal is probably senile and rejected my application. That’s why I came to you.” Yuan Zhinu shrugged innocently: “Excuse me for being blunt, but he really is getting old and blind.”

Ye Sheng felt offended and looked down upon. He said unhappily, "You mean you're stronger than us? We'd all die if we went, but you'd be fine?"

Yuan Zhinu gave him a strange look, as if she was puzzled as to why he would ask such an absurd question: "Isn't this obvious?"

Ye Sheng: "..."

Ye Sheng's speechless look was too funny, and Jude Aki couldn't help but burst out laughing. With her chuckle, the tense atmosphere instantly eased.

Ye Sheng glared at her fiercely and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "What if we don't?"

Yuan Zhinv: "Then I'll have to report you two for dating. You know the rule that executive department specialists are prohibited from having romantic relationships with each other, right?"

Ye Sheng panicked: "Nonsense, we didn't!"

Genji: "Really? Do you dare to say that you don't like Aki at all?"

Ye Sheng: "You..."

Meeting the cautious gaze of Shudeya, Ye Sheng couldn't utter the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He immediately fell silent and shut his mouth.

Yuan Zhinu nodded in satisfaction: "So, refuse the principal's request, use any reason you like."

She turned and left, her light voice lingering in the air: "You're still young, don't be foolish, living well is more important than anything else."

Watching the girl's departing figure, Ye Sheng had a lot of questions in his mind but couldn't bring himself to ask them. In the end, he could only awkwardly say, "It's inexplicable."

Shudeya looked at him and asked softly, "What do we do?"

Ye Sheng didn't dare to look at the girl's gentle eyes and said vaguely, "Since she wants to go so much, let her have it. Seniors should always give way to freshmen."

He paused for a moment, then added, "It's not because of those inexplicable reasons!"

Shutoku Aki blinked: "What kind of ridiculous reason is that? Explain in detail."

Ye Sheng panicked: "Jiu De Ya Ji!"

The only response he received was the girl's clear laughter.

……

Yuan Zhinu felt that things should be stable. Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji were not stupid people. They were indeed very loyal to the academy and were not afraid of death at all. However, they also understood the principle of not taking on a job you are not qualified for.

I don't know how they told Angers, but Yuan Zhinv first received an "OK" gesture from Ye Sheng, and not long after, she received an invitation to afternoon tea from the principal.

When Susie and Nono heard that she was going to have afternoon tea again, their expressions were quite complicated. They could only sigh inwardly that she truly deserved to be an S-class student and was so favored by the principal.

Since it was expected, Genji wasn't too surprised.

The word spirit of snake is not rare in the academy, and there are also many other exploration-type word spirits. However, the bloodlines that are usually accompanied by exploration-type word spirits are not very strong.

Ye Sheng is a rare A-grade snake bloodline, and his outstanding performance in carrying out missions made him the first candidate.

But Yuan Zhinv felt that she was no less than him, and if it weren't for the issue of trust, Angers would probably have considered her first choice.

Now that the combination of Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya is unavailable, Angers has no choice but to settle for second best and has indeed come to test her intentions.

Yuan Zhinv naturally acted flawlessly, trying her best to appear harmless and trusting of the academy. Under Angers' probing, she never mentioned her desire to participate in the "Kuimen Project".

Finally, feeling he had tested the waters enough, Angers hesitantly asked, "You said last time that you wanted to go to China on a mission?"

Yuan Zhinv: "Yes."

"Coincidentally, there's a project on the Yangtze River in China that requires underwater operations. Are you interested?"

Yuan Zhinv nodded casually, seemingly not caring much: "Either is fine."

Angers carefully observed her expression, and only after confirming that there was nothing amiss did his tone relax: "So, do you have a partner you'd like?"

Genjitsu wanted to say that she could do it alone, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that this seemed too purposeful and might arouse Angers suspicion, so she swallowed the words back.

She thought for a moment and said, "Chu Zihang, I've done two missions with him, and I feel that we work well together as partners."

Throughout the entire academy, Yuan Zhinu thought and thought, and it seemed that only Chu Zihang would not tell the academy, after all, he had kept so many things from her before.

Although I don't know why he did this, I guess he is someone I can trust.

But to Yuan Zhinv's surprise, Angers slowly shook his head after hearing the name.

"Chu Zihang is no good."

Yuan Zhinv frowned and asked subconsciously: "Why?"

Angers glanced at her, his expression somewhat subtle: "Young lady, do you know that executive commissioners can't have personal relationships?"

Yuan Zhinv was stunned: "Huh?"

Seeing her expression, Angers looked puzzled: "Don't you think you two are too intimate? I thought you were already together."

Yuan Zhennu: "..."

My darlings, I've changed the bloodline rating system. Previously it was A, A-, A+, S, but that wasn't intuitive enough, so I changed it to an initial value of S, which better reflects the protagonist's strength. The current rating system is S-rank, Emperor-rank, Sub-generation, First-generation, White King, and more beyond that, but I won't list them now. The protagonist is currently a Sub-generation. Since this is a complete overhaul, there might still be some omissions, so please comment if you see any, and I'll update accordingly.

Chapter 90: Defeat Caesar, and you'll be number one!

Yuan Zhinu knew, of course, that commissioners couldn't have personal relationships; she had just used that reason to threaten Ye Sheng.

Unexpectedly, the tables turned, and in the blink of an eye, the blame was pinned on him.
