At that time, all she wanted to do was come to Rhodes Island to take care of Chen Qi, and thus handed over her position as Senior Superintendent of Lungmen to Tallulah, but she didn't expect... But Tallulah agreed without hesitation. How much psychological struggle must she have gone through before she replied like that?

"...Don't be sad, Xiao Chen, I don't blame you."

"On the contrary, I want to thank you for making me understand this."

Tallulah looked at Chen's distraught expression, and after a moment of silence, she spoke lightly:

"If it weren't for you, I would have thought that I was just Xiaoqi's aunt. If you hadn't told me so much today, I might not have known that I really had such feelings for Xiaoqi."

"I haven't felt 'love' for so long that I have forgotten what it feels like. Even when it happens to me, I can't even notice it."

“…He won’t accept it.”

However, Chen now understood that she could no longer convince Tallulah to give up such thoughts. This would only increase Tallulah's resistance, so she said calmly:

"Xiao Qi...will never accept such a thing. You should understand that."

"……I know."

Upon hearing this, Tallulah was silent for a moment, and then gave Chen a mysterious smile.

"But... I also know that he is a very responsible person. I know this very well."

"I raised him, so I know him better than you in many things, Xiao Chen."

"…I won't give you a chance."

Chen's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, and then he spoke to Tallulah without showing any weakness.

"As long as I am with Xiaoqi, I will never give you a chance."

"...Then we'll just have to wait and see."

Tallulah showed a somewhat mysterious smile, and looked at the righteous Chen in front of her, with a hint of confrontation in her eyes.

At this moment, she no longer considered Chen as her childhood sweetheart.

This is...her "enemy" on another level, an enemy that is hindering her.

Well, Tallulah will never show mercy to her enemies.

……

At this moment, in a place where neither Tallulah nor Chen noticed, the young man, who had listened to all this alone, fell into a long silence.

His expression was a little dazed, and there was still some shock on his face after such a long time.

What did he just...hear?

Aunt Tallulah...she...

Even his lips were trembling slightly, and Chen Qi's pupils were shaking uncontrollably. It was unknown how long it had been before he left here.

However, the figure he left in looked a bit embarrassed no matter how you looked at him...

Chapter 247: For Chen Qi's integrity, run

"Bang."

Chen Qi himself didn't know how he ran back. He went straight to Shuangxing's room, only to see Shuangxing and Xia Guang in the room, seemingly talking about something.

Chen Qi's figure came in front of the two girls like a refugee, grabbed a glass of water on the wooden table and took a sip, then sat down on the chair as if exhausted.

At this moment, Shuangxing and Xiaguang noticed that Chen Qi had a horrified look on his face, as if he was still in shock.

"Chen Qi, what happened?"

Shuang Xing and Xia Guang both straightened their postures, looked at Chen Qi's bad face, and asked in unison: "Are you in any trouble? We can help you."

"Huh..." Chen Qi let out a long sigh, barely suppressing his inner trembling, and looked at the two women.

Strictly speaking, he didn't really want to tell them about this kind of thing, but Chen Qi's mind was in a mess at the moment and he didn't know how to think at all.

He had to talk, otherwise Chen Qi in his current state would not be able to command the upcoming battle with Kazdel.

"Don't be afraid of what I'm about to say."

"... As long as it's related to you, we won't be afraid." Xia Guang and Shuang Xing looked at each other, and seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. They said to Chen Qi in a serious tone: "Tell me, what happened?"

"I...I just..." Chen Qi swallowed and said, "I heard the conversation between Aunt Tallulah and Chen."

"..." The two girls looked at each other, leaned back subconsciously, and asked more seriously: "Did they talk about something we don't know?"

"It's not just the topic, even the content is outrageous..."

Thinking about the conversations he overheard between Tallulah and Chen, Chen Qi didn't know how to explain it to the two women in front of him.

In front of him, one is Frost Star, with whom he had just confirmed his "relationship", and the other is Sister Xia Guang, whom Chen Qi knows well. How should he tell the two women in front of him about Tallulah?

As an aunt, I actually have improper thoughts about my nephew? If this news had reached Chen Qi's ears a few days ago, Chen Qi would have killed the guy who spread this rumor.

But now, he heard it with his own ears. Chen Qi would not think that his ears would deceive him. He heard it clearly.

"That... Frost Star, Flawed Light."

"If, I mean if... someone who seems like an elder suddenly told you that her feelings for you are beyond taboo, how would you feel?"

"..."X2

As expected, when Chen Qi said this, Shuang Xing and Xia Guang fell into a stunned silence. Finally, until the two girls stared at Chen Qi and felt uncomfortable, they spoke in a discontinuous and uneasy voice:

"No...it can't be..."

Shuang Xing forced a smile, which was really ugly. She said to Chen Qi, "Chen Qi, you, you really..."

"...I used to think that although you were affectionate, you should be very self-disciplined." Xia Guang's eyes changed a little when he looked at Chen Qi, and he said with a sigh and a hint of disgust:

"I didn't expect... after you came here, your nature of causing trouble would be exposed so quickly?"

"It's not me!" Chen Qi immediately began to defend himself. He was not so cruel as to attack Tallulah, whom he regarded as his aunt!

"You, think about it! Xia Guang! Shuang Xing! You can understand me, right?!"

"Frost Star! Imagine if it was the old Patriot who told you that he had extraordinary feelings for you, you would be as horrified as I am, right?!"

"And Sister Xia Guang! Just think about it! If your aunt and sister secretly said that one of them had that kind of interest in you, you would be as scared as I am!"

It has to be said that being in the situation yourself is the best way to express empathy. Just when Chen Qi said this, the expressions of Shuangxing and Xiaguang turned dark almost at the same time.

Shuang Xing couldn't help but start to imagine that the stubborn old man who had lived for who knows how many hundreds of years was actually a senior pervert who adopted her since she was a child just to play his training game so that he could achieve his YD "dream" in the future...

...No, no, I feel sick just thinking about it. Shuang Xing didn't dare to think about it anymore. She suspected that if she had such a thought, she would freeze the stubborn old man into a popsicle when she returned.

Xia Guang didn't know what he was thinking when he heard that. He thought of his aunt and sister blowing into his ears seductively and whispering in his ears:

"Xiao Xiaguang, my aunt (sister) and I are both yours~"

...It seems, not bad. Xia Guang thought so, but he couldn't help showing a strange expression on his face. Fortunately, Xia Guang's consciousness was strong enough, so he didn't fall into the trap of this fantasy.

"...So, what are you going to do?" After calming himself down, Xia Guang dryly coughed for a while before asking Chen Qi:

"If it's really like what you said...what are you going to do?"

"I……"

However, Xia Guang's question really stumped Chen Qi. Yes, what should he do next?

First of all, Chen Qi’s integrity and moral integrity over the years would not allow him to do such a thing.

Chen Qi's moral values, world views, values, etc. were all taught by Chen when he was very young. Therefore, deep down in his heart, Chen Qi is actually a very traditional person.

After all, if it weren't for Chen's education, Chen Qi wouldn't have kept his distance from so many girls he had a crush on for so many years. This was caused by the ideas that Chen Qi had been instilled with since childhood.

And now... Chen Qi naturally couldn't accept such an exciting shock. He and Aunt Tallulah didn't have that kind of relationship. He truly regarded Tallulah as his aunt!

Who is it?! Who on earth gave Aunt Tallulah this strange knowledge? Stand out! I won’t have to use Chi Xiao to chop off your head!

However, no matter how Chen Qi roared in his heart, he could not change the fact that Aunt Tallulah was very likely to be greedy for his body!

No, absolutely not, I must defend this last bottom line!

"Xia Guang, Shuang Xing, we can't stay here for long. We must find a way to leave here as soon as possible."

"Eh? Then what about the commander here..." Frost Star was slightly stunned when she heard that, and asked, "The purpose of our coming here was to command the resistance forces here to become a helper."

"That's enough." Chen Qi shook his head and said anxiously, "I have already told Alina and Aunt Tallulah the most important points. As soon as Shelagh and our armaments arrive and the signal is given, we can launch an attack."

"The most urgent thing now is to leave here as soon as possible. I have a way to handle everything else."

"..."X2

It always felt like Chen Qi was a refugee. Shuang Xing and Xia Guang looked at each other but did not stop Chen Qi's actions.

After all...what Chen Qi said did have a huge impact.

Considering Chen Qi's chastity, Shuangxing and Xiaguang decided to support Chen Qi's action this time.

In short, let's find a way to get out of here as soon as possible...

Chapter 248: Tallulah's Strategies and Tactics

On this day, Chen Qi, Shuang Xing and Xia Guang all started to get busy. They were eager to leave this place with hidden "threats", so they began to prepare for their journey.

Xia Guang was responsible for purchasing canned goods and supplies, as well as food and water; Shuang Xing was going to look for local towns to see if there were any map-makers who could buy a map that could provide roads and shortcuts to quickly leave the place.

There was only one thing Chen Qi had to do, which was to inform Chen about this matter, and then leave quickly and quietly while Tallulah was not able to react.

Finally, Chen Qi found Chen again not far from where Tallulah and Chen were talking.

"Chen, come with me, we need to leave here as soon as possible."

"Ugh?"

Chen was startled when she saw Chen Qi suddenly appearing in front of her. She had just come back to her senses from her conversation with Tallulah and was in a state of confusion. However, all of a sudden, the core person they were talking about suddenly appeared in front of her, and Chen was completely confused.

"Chen, Chen Qi?! Why are you here?!"

Chen was suddenly confused, but he seemed to suddenly realize that his reaction was too intense. He immediately regained his composure, looked at Chen Qi in front of him, and said calmly:

"Yes, it's Xiaoqi... Is there anything?"

"…Nothing, I just came to inform you that we should leave."

Chen Qi saw all of Chen's panicked movements, but at this moment, Chen Qi, who already knew everything, was not surprised at Chen's reaction at all. He didn't want to say more. Now his mind was full of only one thought, which was to leave quickly.

"Chen, we should get out of here."

"leave?"

Chen was a little surprised when she heard this. The sudden change caught her off guard. She couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say -"

"Plans cannot keep up with changes, and now the plan has changed." Chen Qi made himself look unquestionable, forcibly suppressed the subtle feeling in his heart, and said to Chen:

"The resistance forces don't need our involvement. If we get too involved in their high-level command, it might even have a counterproductive effect. After all, these people are almost completely loyal to Aunt Tallulah and Alina."

"We have already told them our plan. There is no need to get involved any further. It is time to leave."

"..." Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. For some reason, there was nothing to question about Chen Qi's reasons, but Chen still felt... something inexplicably wrong.

All of this happened... a little too suddenly. Chen had just finished talking with Tallulah when Chen Qi came right after and said he was leaving.

It's like... it's like I've paid something in advance.

Xiao Qi, he wouldn't know about my conversation with Tallulah, would he? Chen couldn't help but think of the worst option. He looked at Chen Qi again, only to see that his expression didn't change at all, not even a trace of emotion.

...But, that's fine. Although Chen didn't know whether Chen Qi knew all this, Chen Qi's current course of action coincided with Chen's thoughts.

Chen's mind is now filled with the desire to get Chen Qi to leave here as soon as possible. Tallulah's idea... is really too hard to accept. Not only Chen Qi, but Chen himself cannot accept such behavior.

Xiaoqi must leave, and she must leave before Tallulah comes back!

Absolutely - don't give Tallulah any chance!

"When?"

"The sooner the better." Chen Qi said calmly, "We have almost prepared the supplies and can set off immediately."

"——Then let's go quickly." This is really good news. Chen Wenyan nodded and immediately planned to leave towards the city gate with Chen Qi.

However, before the two of them could run a few steps, they were stopped by a figure that had appeared in front of them at some point in time.

They only saw a graceful figure in military uniform appear behind them at some point. Tallulah stared at the two people in front of her with a cold face. The powerful pressure made people's hearts and lungs extremely uncomfortable.
