In the house on Junmin Alley, Wang Yuchi and the others were looking at the tutoring materials that Zhou Yingxue had bought for them. The sound of soup boiling came from the kitchen. After the thick soup boiled, a dull sound came from the crock.
The aroma wafted from the kitchen into the living room. Wang Zhe, who was next to Wang Yuchi, said, "I can smell the chicken soup when I'm doing the questions …."
Zhou Yingxue came out of the kitchen and scooped a small bowl of chicken soup for each of the students. Wang Yuchi looked up and asked, "Big Sister Yingxue, is Big Brother Xiaosu really going to be fine? Why don't we go and help him out? We also have nanomachines in our bodies."
Zhou Yingxue smiled and said, "Your top priority right now is to study hard. He even specifically told me to keep an eye on all of you. Don't you know him? Who in this city can threaten him?"
"That's true." Wang Yuchi nodded.
At this moment, Zhou Yingxue hummed a song by Li Ran as she picked up all the trash cans in the kitchen and living room. She said to the students, "I'll go take out the trash."
With that, Zhou Yingxue went out.
But she was startled when she opened the door. However, she still walked out as if nothing had happened.
There were shadows moving about in Junmin Alley. It was as though an ambush had been set up around the house!
Just as Zhou Yingxue was about to reach the trash cans, someone suddenly rushed at her from the darkness. It seemed like they wanted to quickly subdue Zhou Yingxue to prevent Zhou Yingxue from shouting.
But before they could rush to Zhou Yingxue's side, they saw strange plants in the house continuously spitting out earthy yellow lumps at an extremely fast speed.
These people who wanted to sneak up on Zhou Yingxue did not expect such a turn of events. After all, someone had already observed the house from a high vantage point in the distance. Everything was normal. Other than some plants in the yard, there was nothing else.
However, it was these plants that caught the thugs off guard.
The huge potatoes hit the bandits one after another, knocking them off their feet and breaking their bones and tendons.
After all, Zhou Yingxue's blessing, the Potato Shooter was no longer a simple crop. It had regained its dignity!
There were even more bandits lurking outside rushing over. They had already made another plan. If there was someone guarding the house, they would start attacking!
A supernatural being was following behind the thugs. When he saw Zhou Yingxue, his eyes lit up. "Don't hurt this woman. Leave her here."
But at this moment, Zhou Yingxue, who was in the yard, suddenly picked up a wisp of green and threw it on the ground. The thugs were stunned. The moment the wisp of green light disappeared from the ground, countless vines spewed out from the soil. In the blink of an eye, the vines had already sprouted and started spreading outwards.
With Zhou Yingxue at the center, the creeper vines' tentacles covered the entire house in an instant. Some of the thugs who tried to break through the windows from the back of the house were immediately wrapped up by the sharp creeper vines. Then the thorns on the vines mercilessly pierced into their blood vessels and started sucking on their blood.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
For Zhou Yingxue, she had never used this power ever since she obtained it. It was not that she did not want to use it, but her master was too powerful, and there was no room for her to use it.
As a result, even Qin Sheng and the others did not pay much attention to Zhou Yingxue. They only treated her as a normal supernatural being who followed Ren Xiaosu around.
But only Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue knew that the current Zhou Yingxue had probably become a top-notch figure among the supernatural beings.
To Ren Xiaosu, Zhou Yingxue was still that maidservant who liked to munch on melon seeds. Recently, she had even taken a liking to making soup and cooking.
But to the enemy, she was a hidden monster.
The thugs did not even have a chance to shoot before they were wrapped up by countless vines. Some of them wanted to pull the trigger to warn their companions behind them, but they had no strength left in their hands. The vines' spikes seemed to contain a toxin that could instantly paralyze people.
The expression of the supernatural being who said he wanted to keep Zhou Yingxue here changed. He suddenly remembered the rumors about the creeper vines in the Wang Clan's stronghold. In an instant, he connected it to everything that was happening in front of him. Could the creeper vines under this woman's feet be the same thing that had wiped out an entire stronghold's stronghold?
His scalp went numb. He wanted to retreat, but when he turned around, he realized a wall of green vines had risen up behind him and blocked his way.
Zhou Yingxue smiled and said, "You didn't bring any greeting gifts with you when you came here. Why don't you give me your life instead?"
Ten minutes later, Zhou Yingxue returned to the house. The people outside had disappeared, and the creeper vines had retracted again. No one knew where Zhou Yingxue had hidden them, but it was as though nothing had happened.
Wang Yuchi looked at Zhou Yingxue, who had just pushed open the door and entered. He asked, "Big Sister Yingxue, why did you take so long to take out the trash? I think I heard you talking to someone just now."
"Oh, someone who got lost." Zhou Yingxue said with a smile, "Have you finished your chicken soup? I'll get you some more."
…
Elsewhere, the same thing was happening outside the orphanage.
Nonsense was giving the children a basic lesson on culture. "How many ways are there to write a secret letter? Which child knows how to write it? "
A child raised his hand. "Director, Teacher, you taught us three ways. You used onion juice, aminopyrine tablets, and starch."
Nonsense smiled happily and said, "Then I'll teach you the fourth way today. First, take two pieces of paper, wet one of them, and place it on the table. Then, attach a dry piece of paper to it. Use a pencil to write on the dry piece of paper, and the writing will seep into the wet piece of paper. Then, dry the paper, and the writing will disappear. When you wet the paper again, the writing will reappear …"
The children were all listening with relish. Zhang Baogen was also listening with relish. However, he was a little curious. "Director, do you want these children to …"
Nonsense shook his head. "I'll teach you the skills, but you have to choose your own path. I can't force you."
At this moment, he suddenly looked at the orphanage's entrance and said to Zhang Baogen, "I'm going out for a while. Bring the children inside. That's all for today's lesson."
With that, Nonsense walked out. Following that, there were wails and gunshots coming from outside the yard.
Less than half an hour later, Nonsense returned. Zhang Baogen looked at him. Other than a few bloodstains on him, it seemed like nothing had happened.
Zhang Baogen asked in concern, "Director, what happened?"
"The bandits might have been attracted by the Knight's allocation of funds. It's fine, it's already been resolved." Nonsense said with a smile, "Let's continue with the lesson."
After the Li Consortium's destruction, Nonsense faded from everyone's sight. But even Chen Wudi had to comment on the old man's combat prowess.
