My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 575 - 54: Abnormality

"So what exactly do you want?"

As the threads of yellow mist gradually thickened in the room.

The man with the horse face couldn’t resist raising his hand again, seemingly intending to once more touch the Jade Seal floating above Hecate’s palm.

He even considered snatching it by force.

"It’s very simple."

This time, Hecate didn’t back away; instead, she moved forward, holding the Jade Seal, actively approaching the man with the horse face.

The man’s breathing grew rapid, heavy like that of an ox.

"Collaborate with me, be my stepping stone, let me enter your country."

Hecate completely stopped, standing in front of the man with the horse face, then raised the Jade Seal floating in her palm to his face: "Can you do that?"

The man with the horse face said nothing, directly reaching out to grab the Jade Seal in Hecate’s palm.

In that instant.

The threads of yellow mist exploded like a storm.

And the man with the horse face suddenly stiffened, his whole body levitating.

His eyes widened, the brown pupils gradually turned golden, his face became exceedingly dignified.

Just.

This situation didn’t last long.

Soon.

Hecate abruptly lowered her hand.

The Jade Seal disappeared without a trace, and the levitating man with the horse face suddenly fell to the ground.

He fell heavily, yet excitement appeared on his face as he stared intently at Hecate’s now empty hand: "Where’s the thing!?"

"Let’s talk about the collaboration first."

Hecate didn’t answer, smiled slightly, and then sat down on the floor.

...

At the same time.

Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

"...Why did you bring back the Gatekeeper? What’s the situation?"

Ji Xin looked at the dust-covered Xia Yue, then glanced at Chai Pool lying on the ground, expressionless.

"Temporarily brought him away from the Kunlun territory... otherwise dealing with such an existence is troublesome, most people can’t win against him."

Xia Yue shrugged: "As for the situation you want to know about... you can ask him when he wakes up."

Ji Xin slightly frowned: "So you went to Kunlun and got nothing? You’re still unsure what caused this anomaly? Chen Lusi’s problem hasn’t been solved? Even you can’t solve it?"

"I’m not an all-powerful god."

Xia Yue said with amusement: "Do you think I always come back with results? And who says there’s nothing gained? Isn’t the Gatekeeper on the ground a gain? I’m presenting you such a big gain and you can’t see it?"

Ji Xin kept a deadpan face: "Then you can take your gain away now."

"You’re really not adorable... Women are troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yue seemed somewhat dismissive: "Doing things isn’t useful, as long as expectations aren’t met, it’s unreasonable."

"..."

Ji Xin took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling: "The problem is what use is bringing the Gatekeeper here! And an unconscious Gatekeeper at that! I need to solve Chen Lusi’s issues, and the intelligence on the Artificial Celestial Gate!"

"Those Daoists are investigating."

Xia Yue replied offhandedly: "Once they’re done, we’ll find out... As for Chen Lusi, he can actually handle these problems on his own, no need to worry too much."

"..."

Ji Xin stared at Xia Yue.

She tried to remind herself not to get angry, this is the face of Celestial Strategy Mansion, having a peculiar temper is normal.

But she just couldn’t suppress it.

She so wanted to smash Xia Yue’s head...

In comparison.

Chen Lusi’s personality is simply angelic, although silent, he can at least communicate normally, and understand requirements, even extrapolate!

But Xia Yue just brings back a vagabond! And calls it a gain!

Who wants a vagabond!

Bring back Chen Lusi! Call it a gain! She’s accepted it herself!

"Wait for Chai Pool to wake up, question him, then wait for the news from those four Daoists, I’ll be leaving."

Xia Yue seemed unaware Ji Xin was gritting her teeth, still wearing a smile: "Also, Ji Xin... you’re not young anymore, stop whining, all the past pains shouldn’t become obstacles to our inner hopes for beauty.

You’re no longer the helpless little girl, you’re now the eldest sister of the entire Celestial Strategy Mansion, even I have to look up to you, so stop putting on that face, don’t be too extreme, stop thinking everything in the worst way.

There are still many beautiful things in the world, I think your previous name was quite nice, wasn’t Chu Xin quite melodious? What’s good about being deformed?"

Ji Xin slightly frowned, slowly raised her head to look at Xia Yue, the excess expression on her face instantly disappeared, revealing a thoughtful look.

Of course, she wasn’t pondering Xia Yue’s words.

But she keenly sensed... something’s off.

"And regarding those Roman Catholic prisoners... remember one thing, those in the Roman Catholic Church are conceited, it’s their nature, and the Empowerer brought great power, making them feel they are the rulers of everything."

Xia Yue curled his lips: "At this time, the most important thing is to wake them up, reasoning won’t achieve this, but fists can... if you truly listen to me and plan to prosecute that so-called Holy Coffin Knight, it will certainly invite retaliation, they will use every means to stop you, but at this time you absolutely cannot retreat, you must knock down every conceited one, slap them harshly.

... That is the true path."

"... Are you hiding something from me?"

Ji Xin didn’t respond, her eyebrows knit, a stronger look of contemplation on her face.

"It’s rare for me to preach, if you don’t like it, forget it."

"Oh, and one more piece of advice, don’t treat people like dogs, no matter how much you like doing so."

Xia Yue looked at Ji Xin, then smiled, took off like a shot, transformed into a white streak, and disappeared again.
