Chapter 159: I Don’t Know If I Should Say It or Not…

Jiang Xiaopi initially wanted to play a fool and joke around with the delivery man because being mischievous made him happy.

However, when he plunged into Second Last’s embrace, he suddenly realized that he liked the warmth.

Second Last’s reaction also made Jiang Xiao feel rather shocked. He initially thought that she would push him away. To his surprise, Second Last didn’t push him away and instead chose to comfort him when he was feeling helpless.

Her question, in particular, made Jiang Xiao feel warm and fuzzy inside.

No, Jiang Xiao, you’re already a 25-years-old adult. Why are you still sticking to others like a child?

Hmm…

However, he would be a fool if he didn’t take advantage when he could, especially since he was an adult.

From this perspective, Jiang Xiao felt much more comfortable.

He even buried his face in Second Last’s warm and fragrant chest…

Wow, facial wash. Feels wonderful.

Our height difference is meant for such positions.

Jiang Xiao didn’t dare to be mischievous for too long. Instead, he stood up straight and kicked off his shoes before entering the house with the food. “Why are you still here?”

Second Last followed Jiang Xiao to the kitchen and leaned against the door frame while folding her arms and staring at his back. “I’m on a break.”

“Oh.” Jiang Xiao put the takeaway food on the dining table and turned around to walk out of the kitchen.

Jiang Xiao didn’t ask any more questions, but he was a little puzzled. Do members of special teams like her get to enjoy annual leave too?

Ever since the choice Second Last made on the night that they had barbecued skewers, Jiang Xiao could tell that it was likely that she had no family or kin.

Of course, even if she was just on her annual leave, she should have left Jiang Xiao’s home a long time ago. Since she had decided to stay, Jiang Xiao reckoned that she was probably insistent on taking him as her disciple.

Second Last stretched her hand out and placed it on the door frame to block Jiang Xiao from leaving. She then looked down and stared at Jiang Xiao quietly. “Did something happen?”

“Let me wash up first, we’ll talk about it later,” Jiang Xiao said.

“Alright,” Second Last answered calmly and lowered her hand while leaning slightly towards the side, allowing Jiang Xiao to walk out of the kitchen.

After he was done with showering, he changed into a fresh set of home clothes and put on a white cardigan. He then put on some sweatpants and walked out while rubbing his head.

When he returned to the kitchen, Second Last had already laid all the dishes on the table. She then pinched the tail of the fish in tomato sauce with her slender fingers, while munching on it with her head tilted.

There was some sauce on the corners of her lips, making her look just like a cat.

The scene of her wolfing the food down seemed to show the cute, gluttony side of her.

“Those are side dishes. Don’t you think it’s salty? Do you eat it as a staple?” Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and leaned against the door frame, staring at the massive feline in front of him.

This time, it was his turn to lean against the door. He actually mimicked her rather well.

“Come and sit here,” Second Last said in a muffled voice while chewing on the fish.

Jiang Xiao shook his head helplessly, walked into the kitchen, and sat on the chair opposite her. He criticized. “What the hell is this shredded fish? Did you order it in a moment of eagerness, just because you saw that it was a dish made of fish? How can there be fish in this?”

Second Last put down the clean fishbone in her hand and rolled her eyes at him.

It would be fine during normal circumstances. However, at this moment, Second Last’s mouth was smeared with sauce and grease. The contrast was rather adorable and made her seem less domineering despite her huge figure.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but pull out a piece of tissue and hand it to her.

Second Last grabbed it and used it to wipe her mouth while asking, “What happened?”

“Nothing, I’m just a little tired.” Jiang Xiao seemed to have already adjusted his state of mind and started chuckling. He glanced at her chest and thought to himself, How wonderful it felt to bury my face in her fragrant chest.

Second Last was slightly stunned and she thought about his actions just now. However, it was undeniable that Jiang Xiao’s age did give him a safety net. Although he leaped into her embrace just now, she didn’t think of it in a lewd manner.

Second Last was no fool either. She picked up a tuna rice roll and said, “You can never figure out the female body just based on the female savage’s body.”

Jiang Xiao bore with it for a while before handing Second Last a pair of chopsticks.

Second Last glanced at the pair of chopsticks coldly but didn’t grab it.

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

“You killed someone. With your own hands,” Second Last said all of a sudden.

Jiang Xiao’s face stiffened as the sudden question caught him off guard.

The point of the question was, she had made an accurate guess.

Is this what female instincts are about?

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, “Someone wanted to harm me but ended up harming themselves.”

Second Last shook her head and placed the tuna rice roll into her mouth before chewing on it slowly. Silence filled the air.

To Jiang Xiao’s joy, she didn’t talk while eating.

Jiang Xiao watched in shock as she grabbed the tail of the sweet-and-sour fish again…

“In the future, you’ll encounter plenty of such circumstances. Sometimes, you have to attack even if the other party doesn’t hurt you. Under those circumstances, you’ll have no reason to comfort yourself,” Second Last said while holding onto the tail of the fish.

Jiang Xiao smile and said, “You guys are the Light-chasing Team and every mission you guys get is basically to protect the Holy Ground and get rid of enemies. You don’t have to use extreme examples to help me grow.”

Second Last smirked and glanced at Jiang Xiao with her narrow eyes while cocking her head sideways to chew on the sweet-and-sour fish.

“I initially thought that the adult Awakened would be very domineering, but I found out after this trip that that’s not the case,” Jiang Xiao said while staring at Second Last quietly.

Second Last was sticking her tongue out to lick the grease on her lips. “You and your team are very strong. You don’t have to pretentious.”

Jiang Xiao opened his mouth and decided to forget about the adult Awakened that he encountered in the Arsenal. “By the way, I saw the Ape Ghoul King.”

Second Last paused in her actions and put down the half-eaten sweet-and-sour fish. She then turned to look at Jiang Xiao and said, “Good that you’re alive.”

“The Star Technique that belongs to the Ape Ghoul King is not bad. Are you not interested?” Jiang Xiao asked.

Second Last shook her head and said, “There are pros and cons to that Star Technique. After summoning Body of Star Power, the destructive power will indeed increase greatly, but the consumption of Star Power is too high and the target will cause fires if it’s too big. Most of my enemies are humans, not the low-level creatures of other dimensions who have low IQ. That Star Technique is not suitable for me.”

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, “Oh. Okay, then. If I had as many star slots as you do, I’d definitely get it.”

Second Last said, “Every star slot is precious.”

“The authorities actually chose to hold the Beijiang Provincial League in the Arsenal. What a retarded choice. Be it the savages or the Ape Ghouls, they’re all social creatures and the Gold Quality Ape Ghoul King is there too.” Jiang Xiao lamented.

“Ah…” Jiang Xiao sighed and continued, “I’ll never understand. The White Ghouls are way too inferior to the Ape Ghouls, but they are lone rangers. Why are the Ape Ghouls living in clusters? I don’t get it.”

“It’s just the nature of the species, there is no need to mull over it,” Second Last said while pinching the tail of the sweet-and-sour fish again.

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

Second Last asked, “What are your plans next?”

Jiang Xiao asked, “What?”

Second Last said, “As long as the team doesn’t activate me again, I can continue staying here. You must make good use of me.”

Greatly taken aback, Jiang Xiao scanned Second Last’s voluptuous body from head to toe. Although she was larger in size, her figure was very perfect, especially her proportions and beautiful, toned, and streamlined muscles which looked particularly eye-catching.

This face, this figure, this aura.

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and thought, How can I make use of her?

I have something to say, but I don’t know if I should say it…
