It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

This should have been the best time to act tsundere, but Xia Wuyou didn't deny it at all. She just pinched him unhappily and said, "Some people's fighting ability is so poor. They asked him to train but he didn't. As his wife, I can only pay more attention to him."

"After all, we have to face not only the Poseidon, but also many possible backstabs, right?"

Several people did not deny that Xia Wuyou's concerns were not groundless. Although they said they were forming a team to attack the "Sea God", in fact it was more like a battle royale.

Not to mention the Vatican, which needs the most attention. Given Luo Yu's character, he will definitely not give up. They have also sent additional manpower, which makes us even more cautious.

The Holy See dispatched seven Silver Knights, which is more than two-thirds of the total number of Knights Templar. From the performance of Luo Yu and Lu Baiyan, it can be seen that this group of people should not be underestimated.

Not to mention the large number of priests and clergy. Although these people do not have high status, there may be hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them. They do not have time to investigate them one by one, so they cannot take it lightly.

This is just one of the reasons. Even Cheng Gujian, who seems to be an ally, cannot relax. When the cooperation was finalized, everyone knew that the two parties were just using their relationship. If they really encounter any problems, it would be good enough if they don't sell it out. They still have to rely on themselves.

In this situation, even if Xu Shi had a backup plan, the fact that there were only three A+-level combat "Upgraders" including her, Yu Xingchuan, and Shen Qin seemed not enough.

"Thank you Madam for your concern."

Xu Shi scratched his cheek embarrassedly. He originally said that he would also join the training, but he ended up training on a recliner these days. Do you think he would have anything to say? I have to teach my apprentice, so how could I have the time?

So he was just pretending to be embarrassed as usual, but even though his behavior looked frivolous, he felt warm inside.

It is always touching to have someone specifically say, "I improve my strength to protect you," and it is in line with what she said before, "I am willing to be the sword in your hand."

Of course he also wanted to say that his husband is not as bad as you said. With "Yujing" in hand, he is definitely not powerless. But it is true that he needs protection. The shortcomings of non-combat personnel are fully reflected.

He suddenly felt like complaining. Although they lived in a world where super powers and technology coexisted, the cultivation method of "Upgraders" still had a bit of the flavor of fairy tales and fantasy. Using this analogy, even if Xia Xiaomao was stuck in a bottleneck period for a long time, she would need a little help to push her so that she could successfully break through to a higher level.

"Don't be so ungrateful after getting such an advantage."

Xia Wuyou snorted, "It's not just for you. Not everyone is as unambitious as you. I also want to explore a higher realm."

This was also her true feelings. Who among the "Upgraders" doesn't want to have stronger abilities? She had been thinking this way for a long time. To be precise, as early as the riot in Night Sin City, when she saw Wen Shengkui kill Long Tianding in an instant, she had developed a yearning for that kind of absolute strength.

However, any discerning person can see that this is just making up for the loss, and the main reason is still the former.

Well, she is still a bit tsundere... But she had it in her mouth eight generations ago, so it doesn’t matter whether she is tsundere or not. It is more like a kind of flirting.

"It's worth the reward anyway. I'm very pleased."

Xu Shi did not hesitate at all, he held her face and kissed her hard.

"Who wants you... um..."

Xia Wuyou struggled symbolically, but her body was very honest. She took the initiative to hug him, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him passionately.

"Wow."

Xia Ke'an, who was standing by, blinked and immediately covered the eyes of the two sisters Feng and Ling, "Children, don't look at this."

This action is very funny. She is so tiny that she can't cover the eyes of two young girls. She may not be able to block one of them, and nothing that should be seen is missed.

The main reason was that she enjoyed it herself - she always felt that there was nothing shameful between her niece and the little boy. When they were in the ward, her complaints were enough to write a book. No one could withstand the shock of being kissed in the face.

But gradually she also found this very interesting, and even liked being a bystander... Not only Xu Shi and Xia Wuyou, she wanted to watch him and anyone else's live sex, but unfortunately the bad father and bad mother didn't give her this opportunity...

"Who is the child anyway?"

Pan Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the little senior sister's childish behavior, but he was still willing to cooperate with her and pretended to be covered by her eyes.

Pan Ling also cooperated, but she was passive rather than active. Seeing the master and his wife kissing, her face was even redder than the people involved. She didn't know where her mind had flown away...

"..."

Xie Qingyan opened his mouth and said nothing, but he felt a little emotional as he watched.

No matter what Xia Wuyou thinks, her attitude of "becoming stronger to protect Xu Shi" seems to be spoken to her in the eyes of the bitch.

It's just an injection, there's no risk in it, why make it seem like life and death...but she still felt uncomfortable for no reason.

"Would you like a shot too?"

So she looked at Yu Xingchuan who was observing from the sidelines and asked tentatively.

"I will protect the young master."

The adjutant paused, then smiled and avoided the question.

When did you start calling him Young Master? Xie Qingyan was surprised for a moment, but the other party's obvious idea made her feel a little more comfortable.

This is a person who wants to have it all. He wants to win Xu Shi's favor without paying anything? How is it possible?

But there's no point in competing with this kind of person. After thinking about it, she just spread out her hands and went to help Xia Wuyou prepare the medicine.

Taking the medicine is indeed not a life-and-death separation, and Xia Wuyou is also very hardworking. Unlike Xu Shi, who would be in a coma for three or four days after one injection, it only took him more than ten minutes.

"that's it?"

Xia Xiaomao was the only one besides the dog woman herself who received the "Sublimation II" injection. Seeing that the process was so easy, she was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Well, that's good."

Xie Qingyan nodded and handed her a medicine bottle. "Sublimation II takes effect gradually and will not affect your daily activities. Just take a stabilizer pill every day... I will be with you anyway, so I can keep an eye on any situation at any time. You will definitely feel it yourself."

"Thank you."

Xia Wuyou was very happy. She was not worried about any side effects. Instead, she was looking forward to what new effects her supernatural powers could develop after breaking through to the S level.

"You're welcome."

The bitch forced a smile, but her tone inevitably became sour again.

"By the way, are we still going to the training ground today?"

Yu Xingchuan raised his hand and asked.

"It's the last day, let's finish it."

Xu Shi hugged his wife and helped her into the carriage as if she were a confinement lady. The two of them were like sweet lovers.

The time spent training the soldiers of the Hualan Empire was not too long, less than half a month at most, but the main thing was to teach them how to use weapons, which was not a difficult task.

Even if they didn't show up, the other side would still go on an expedition to sea.

However, despite this, more and more people have gathered on the parade grounds in the past few days - only the royal ministers can come here, and everyone wants to see what kind of improvement these outsiders from Night Sin City can bring to their soldiers.

Today it was even more crowded. Strictly speaking, Xu Shi and his group were late. When he arrived, he found that his usual spot was also occupied.

Who is so bold...Oh, it’s the Queen.

Probably no one would have thought that the little queen Dongfang Xiao would come to such a smelly and sweaty place in person. Cheng Gujian stayed by her side, patiently explaining the results of the past few days.

"Her Majesty the Queen."

If it was her, Xu Shi didn't bother arguing about the first come first served issue. He just bowed and greeted her.

"Envoy Xu."

Dongfang Xiao was also very pleased to see him coming. He stood up from his chair and bowed slightly. "I have heard from Grand Duke Gu Jian that with the help of you, the strength of the Royal Court Knights has been greatly improved in a short period of time. Thank you."

"Your Majesty is polite."

Xu Shi smiled slightly, "Since we are in a cooperative relationship, we will certainly not neglect these matters."

"You can't say that. You are actually working for my people."

Dongfang Xiao also smiled. "I was originally worried that this expedition would be full of dangers, but now... this worry is at least much less."

"Tomorrow you will go to war, and I will personally see you off. I wish you a successful start. If you return victorious, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Oh?"

Xu Shi raised his eyebrows, "I wonder how Her Majesty wants to reward us?"

Cheng Gujian's eyes twitched slightly. You really are just trying to take advantage of the situation. This is obviously just a polite way of asking questions. You actually asked further questions... And we haven't even set out to sea yet, but you act like you've already won...

But considering Xu Shi's personality, this seems to be what he would say.

"…If we can successfully destroy the Sea God, I will find a way to satisfy your request."

Dongfang Xiao was also stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and wrote him a blank check.

"Then I'd like to thank you in advance."

Xu Shi laughed, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. With the cooperation of Archduke Gu Jian and I, we will definitely not let the Church gain the upper hand."

"That would be best, of course."

There was a flash of joy in the little queen's eyes.

But after thinking about it, she added lightly, "But if it's for the people of the empire...it's OK as long as we win."

……

Xu Shi and the royal family were cooperating very enthusiastically, and the Holy See did not relax either.

Inside the most magnificent cathedral in the main city of the empire, several people in bright silver armor were kneeling on one knee and saluting to the person on the stage.

"Everyone, the Sea God has been causing trouble for a long time, and we must not take it lightly this time."

The old man on the stage was wearing a red robe and an exaggerated tall hat. He spoke hoarsely under the glow of light.

"I will definitely live up to the Pope's trust!"

Several silver knights responded in unison, each one resoundingly.

Especially the leader, with his red hair tied into a high ponytail and a look as firm as a rock.

"Not only that, your safety is also a top priority."

Someone else spoke next to the Pope. She was shrouded in a white veil, making it difficult to see clearly.

The girl in white veil slowly walked down the steps and helped the red-haired girl up. "Especially Sister Yiyan, you are the Knight Commander, and everyone needs you to take care of them."

"Your Highness the Saint."

Knight Commander Qin Yiyan nodded vigorously, "Leave it to me."

"If you say that, I feel relieved."

The saint nodded and stretched out her hand to gently place on her shoulder. "I can't do much. I can only bless you before you go to the battle, and lead the nuns to pray for you day and night afterwards...Keep going."

As she spoke, a faint light appeared on her hand, gently spreading across Qin Yiyan's armor.

After blessing her, she did the same thing for the several silver knights behind Qin Yiyan.

Just after counting, she suddenly realized something was wrong, "Where's Luo Yu?"

"I'm so sorry, I'm late."
