Superpowered Love Academy

"Here you are." Xu Jing flicked her cigarette ash.

"Good evening, Sister Jing." Zuo Le nodded calmly.

Xu Jing pointed behind her, and Zuo Le looked at the woman in the coat.

"This is a guest who came with us. Your responsibility is to bring him there safely and bring him back safely."

Zuo Le did not agree rashly because he did not know how to get to the mushroom forest and had no experience in this area.

And you also need to protect others?

Faced with a lawless place like this, he didn't pretend to know everything; he asked questions about everything.

"Sister Jing, I've never done this before. I have no experience and I don't know the way. Will there be any problems?"

Xu Jing admires Zuo Le's unpretentious and down-to-earth personality the most.

She pointed to the boatman on the small boat and explained:

"Don't worry, boatman Lao Liu will guide you through the route. If you have any questions along the way, just ask him. Everything else is simple; just go to Mr. You's place to deliver and pick up the goods at the appointed time."

Old Liu knows the specifics, but if someone is foolish enough to make a move, you'll have to cover for them.

After Xu Jing said that, Zuo Le roughly understood what he needed to do.

The henchmen who protect the goods.

However, this is also in line with his role.

Zuo Le nodded, wanting to ask more questions about the mushroom forest, when Xu Bin suddenly interrupted:

“Sister Jing, I’m not saying Brother Zuo is unreliable, but he himself said he has no experience. Shouldn’t the work in the mushroom forest be done by someone we know?”

This question immediately silenced the group at the old gate.

The men carrying the goods also sensed something was wrong and stopped what they were doing.

Xu Jing turned to look at him, raised an eyebrow, and remained silent.

Instead, she looked at Zuo Le with a smile, seemingly wanting to see what Zuo Le thought.

This job was originally Zuo Le's, but there has always been competition for resources within the gang.

The capable rise, the mediocre fall.

Let's see who's more capable...

At this moment, everyone at the old gate, like Xu Jing, focused their attention on Zuo Le.

Zuo Le turned his head to look at Xu Bin with a blank expression:

"Are you serious?"

"Brother Zuo, why don't you come stay at my place tonight? I'll have my buddies find you two pretty girls later so you can have some fun. What do you say?"

Xu Bin ignored the coldness in his eyes, rubbed his head, and continued talking to himself.

But as they talked...

Sensing the murderous intent, Xu Bin suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Zuo Le.

Zuo Le didn't say anything, and glanced at Xu Jing again, but Xu Jing still didn't seem to want to stop her.

At this point, Zuo Le became certain of his previous idea.

Is this another case of using someone else to do the dirty work?

Xu Jing, that woman, really sees herself as a tool to eliminate dissidents.

Xu Bin, oblivious to the exchange between Zuo Le and Xu Jing, stepped forward slightly, gun raised, his tone arrogant:

"Zuo Zi, you're still too young. You can't survive in this world by working alone. Do you know that the entire Bailu is now under my control?"

Zuo Le ignored him and didn't even glance at him.

This reaction was clearly unexpected by Xu Bin, and it made his smugness disappear somewhat, turning him into someone who was all bark and no bite.

He was also aware of Zuo Le's notorious reputation.

But Xu Bin has been in the underworld for so many years, and since he has chosen to take action, he won't be intimidated by this kind of scene.

He released the safety on his pistol, a barely concealed murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"So tactless? Well, there's nothing I can do about it."

boom!boom!

Two gunshots rang out, but Zuo Le's figure only blurred for a moment.

Because it has a formless form.

But Xu Bin is different.

Zuo Le's new gun had too large a caliber, causing Xu Bin's head, which flew off, to hit the stone wall of the old sluice gate twice before falling into the water and disintegrating.

Xu Bin, who was just teasing Zuo Le, is now headless and lying on the ground.

The other workers carrying goods nearby froze in place, no one daring to move, each thankful that they hadn't spoken up earlier.

Zuo Le gave Xu Jing a slightly displeased look:

Are you satisfied now?

Xu Jing held the cigarette to her lips, her eyes barely concealing a smile as she looked at Zuo Le.

When it comes to using someone else to do one's dirty work, Zuo Le is indeed the perfect choice.

Pure military commander.

However, she still pretended to be someone who didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings:

"Tsk, we're all brothers, why do you resort to violence over a couple of words? You guys, why don't you throw Xu Bin into the sea to feed the fish?"

"Yes."

Zuo Le calmly put away his pistol; his actions just now were as if he had casually kicked a roadside tree to death.

He raised his head again, meeting Xu Jing's gaze, his expression unchanged:

"Sister Jing, please continue talking about the mushroom forest."

Xu Jing's eyes flickered for a few seconds. It wasn't a long time, but it was enough for the people around her to feel the clash of their auras.

Zuo Le's calmness made her feel that her previous behavior might not have been correct.

But it's too late now...

"There's nothing more to say, just don't let it interfere with important business."

Zuo Le nodded and turned to look at the woman in black wearing a mask on the shore.

When are you leaving?

“We can set off now. There aren’t many good people in the lawless zone, so be careful,” Xu Jing patted Zuo Le on the shoulder and gave him a word of advice.

Before she could finish speaking, the woman wearing a mask had already boarded the ship first.

"Let's go, Sister Jing."

Zuo Le followed and stood at the stern of the boat.

He turned around and exchanged a silent glance with Xu Jing, but neither of them waved goodbye.

Da da da! ~

As boatman Lao Liu started the engine, the propeller propelled the small boat away from the old lock.

A gentle sea breeze followed.

A familiar scent wafted from the bow of the ship, instantly freezing Zuo Le in place.

Although mixed with the fishy smell of the sea breeze, that familiar fragrance...

In addition, the memories that Zuo Le has recovered in the past few days, those fragmented pieces of the past, are quietly tormenting Zuo Le's emotions.

Tuqi!

Is there a mistake?

How could there be a mistake?

Zuo Le stared at the indifferent figure at the bow of the ship and opened his mouth.

Two weeks ago, Tuqi teased and flirted with him, and they slept together in an extremely ambiguous way.

Many of his actions were more outrageous than when he was with Tu Mi.

But today, Tuqi showed no intention of speaking to him at all, remaining standing at the bow of the boat as if he were a stranger, without making any other moves.

As a result, Zuo Le repeatedly had the thought that she might have mistaken someone for someone else.

But the final answer was always the same.

"That smell, there's no mistake."

Previously, Zuo Le had found the scent puzzling, but with the awakening of his memories, he no longer had any doubts about the aura emanating from Tu Qi.

It's as clear as a code etched into your DNA, impossible to forget.

You can tell just by smelling it.

Because it's not just a simple body odor or pheromones.

That was the manifestation of desire.

In Zuo Le's fragmented memories, whenever he asked Tu Qi for a kiss, a hug, or wanted to possess her, that scent would become increasingly intense.

That instinctive desire to possess everything of Tuqi made him smell this scent.

Zuo Le gently touched her brow, unsure of how to face Tu Qi.

Are we just going to keep things as they are and pretend we don't know each other?

Previously, Zuo Le was unaware of that past and was able to maintain a 'victim' persona in front of Tu Qi.

But now?

Forget about joking around with people, I break out in a sweat just talking to them.

After all, it's hard to judge who I am in my memories; calling him a scumbag is being too kind.

After thinking it over, Zuo Le decided to maintain the status quo, since it was Tu Qi's own choice.

What is she going to do in the lawless zone?

Zuo Le also sensed that after seeing Tu Qi...

My mood, which wasn't great to begin with, suddenly started to feel a little better!

……

As the ship moved forward.

Everything at sea gradually blurred, and the dust and mist on the sea surface were much denser than Zuo Le had imagined.

The small boat traveled smoothly for forty minutes, the whole process unusually quiet.

Apart from the splashes of water caused by the propeller, Zuo Le could hardly hear any other sounds.

Only the seabed...

Occasionally, a distant echo, like the cry of a whale, would be heard.

After reaching this area, the ship's speed gradually decreased.

Zuo Le glanced at the boatman, a man who looked to be about 40 years old. He would occasionally take out a disc, which seemed to be used to determine direction.

Xu Jing had previously instructed Zuo Le to ask questions when he didn't understand, and Zuo Le, who knew nothing about sailing, naturally wouldn't give up on learning at this time.

The more information you have, the safer you are.

"Brother Liu, is this a compass?"

The boatman glanced at him, giving him a look that said, "You really are ignorant."

"It refers to the mushroom needles."

Zuo Le was taken aback, thinking he had misheard, and repeated:
