Hearing her say this, Luo Chao somewhat understood. He had known from the start that Xin Xing'Er was no ordinary person; her singing could resonate with people. Thinking about it now, she should also be a Spiritual System Superpower User, and one with exceptionally strong Spiritual Power.
Even that Upper Ninja named Pine Nuts wasn't her match individually, leading to a spiritual backlash and his death, which was quite tragic.
Seeing her still a bit afraid of everyone, even looking at him with unfamiliar eyes, made Luo Chao amused. Such a thing isn't easy for anybody to let go of, so he introduced himself, "We are members of the Huaxia Dragon Team, and we've been ordered to come rescue you."
"Dragon Team?" Xin Xing'Er asked, blinking her big eyes in confusion.
"Yes, by now you should understand your uniqueness! You're actually like us, a Superpower User, and one with a very rare spiritual superpower." Luo Chao saw her shrinking back a little and said with a smile, "From my guess, these East Japanese people kidnapped you to make you a weapon against us."
He couldn't forget that scene at Xin Xing'Er's concert, affecting over eighty thousand ordinary people's spirits lightly at the same time—it was absolutely terrifying, even more powerful in a small battle than Inoue Matsushita's Moon Reading.
This only showed that Xin Xing'Er was born with an extraordinary gift, inherently powerful, incomparable to those who train for decades.
"Does this mean I have to join your Dragon Team too?"
"If you're willing, you're absolutely welcome. To be honest, our team leader has been aware of you for a long time, probably because you're a public figure, so we never sent an invitation." By now, Luo Chao understood why Tie Xiong was so interested in Xin Xing'Er; if they could get her to join, it would be a significant boost for the Dragon Team.
"But... but I like singing." Xin Xing'Er looked into Luo Chao's eyes, twisting the hem of her shirt, and said softly.
"It's okay." Luo Chao noticed her hesitation and persuaded, "There's no conflict. Look at me." He pointed at himself, "I'm just an ordinary student when not on duty. You can arrange your free time however you like. Of course, if you really don't want to, we won't force you."
Hearing him say this, Xin Xing'Er felt a little embarrassed, "Can I think about it some more?" She knew that agreeing would mean her life would be completely different from before.
"Of course." Luo Chao didn't say more. He lifted her from the ground, looked at everyone, and said, "Let's head back. This battle was pretty tough, fortunately, there weren't any serious injuries. Old Wu, report this matter later, and let's rest well."
"Understood."
A week had passed since that incident. The citizens of Liuhai were gradually calmed down, and they no longer talked about that terror attack on a daily basis. Instead, they occasionally checked on the recovery status of the goddess Xin Xing'Er and left messages online wishing her well.
During these few days, everyone got plenty of rest. Little Wolf finally figured out his abilities, maintaining his excitement for an entire week.
He was showing off the speed his Wind Superpower brought him to everyone until Nangong Hanhan, unable to stand it, teamed up with Luo Chao to tie him up with Magic Hair and gave him a beating to finally quiet him down.
Having thought carefully, Xin Xing'Er, after discussing with her cousin Dong Jie, finally agreed to the Dragon Team's invitation. So, Liu Qingqing and the others took Xin Xing'Er to Beijing to report back for duty and join formally.
This incident also drew significant attention from the Dragon Team, who would negotiate with the East Japan side. What would happen specifically, Luo Chao couldn't know.
Luo Chao didn't go with them. According to his own words, "The base isn't interesting anyway, teasing Tang Yan is much more fun." Naturally, he wouldn't dare let Tang Yan hear that.
Little Wolf also didn't leave, using a perfectly justified reason, "I'm a student, I still have to stay here to study."
This angered Nangong Hanhan so much that she kept blaming Luo Chao for turning an innocent child into a mischievous one, now only knowing how to play and not being obedient.
Thus, everything returned to normal. Luo Chao, Tang Yan, and Little Wolf continued their life of three-person cohabitation. Of course, now Luo Chao couldn't wait to kick Little Wolf out as he was plainly a massive third wheel, severely hindering some intimate actions between the two.
Once during breakfast, Luo Chao even said to Little Wolf in front of Tang Yan, "How about I buy you another apartment, and you find a little girlfriend to live a nice life?"
The consequence of that was Tang Yan giving his waist a good few pinches, telling him he's only setting a bad example for the kid.
Now the only thing that made Luo Chao feel happy was Tang Yan's admiring gaze, which made him feel incredibly gratified, striving to maintain his superhero image in her heart.
One day, after driving away another of the flower delivery guys Hu Pei sent for Tang Yan, Luo Chao finally became a bit impatient, feeling that Hu Pei was truly disloyal. Everyone knows you shouldn't cheat with a friend's partner; how could he still act like this?
Luo Chao thought that after the last incident, both he and Hu Pei could at least be considered friends.
Feeling displeased, he got Hu Pei's contact from Yang Wei, determined to have a good talk about life with him.
When he called, arranging to have a meal together, Hu Pei surprisingly agreed quite readily, and they arranged to meet at the Dynasty.
This time, he didn't plan to bring Tang Yan, lying that he had something to do and letting her take a taxi home. He drove his Audi A8 straight to the Dynasty.
Speaking of which, the luxury car really made him look good lately, occasionally drawing greetings from senior and junior schoolmates, making Luo Chao feel tremendously pleased, even somewhat "grateful" to Wei Jinquan, who had given him the car.
If Wei Jinquan knew, he wouldn't know whether to be happy or not.
The car sped along swiftly, reaching the Dynasty within minutes. Someone had been waiting for Luo Chao at the entrance and led him all the way to a large gym.
Hu Pei was inside, jogging on a treadmill, occasionally wiping sweat off his forehead with a towel draped around his neck. He looked like a completely different person after more than a week, with the pallor and weakness gone, replaced by a bit of sunny vitality.
Upon seeing Luo Chao approach, he stopped the machine, took a sip of the wine prepared on the side, and said with a smile, "You're right on time, brother."
"I'm always polite like this." Luo Chao sat on a chair nearby, crossing his legs, and said bluntly, "I came today to ask you not to bother my girlfriend anymore, can you do that?"
