Armor Guardians

Chapter 216 is mine

Seeing Xia Qianxue's expectant look, Xia Qianmeng naturally couldn't bear to disappoint her. Besides, Xia Qianxue was gradually emerging from her past trauma; otherwise, she couldn't keep running away like this.

"That's all."

Xia Qianmeng sighed helplessly, then gave Xia Qianxue the answer she hoped for: "Then let's go back and take a look."

"Okay~"

Xia Qianxue had only been holding Xia Qianmeng's arm, but after hearing that Xia Qianmeng had agreed to her request, she stopped holding back and immediately hugged Xia Qianmeng's neck happily.

Unfortunately, Ye Ying just happened to walk out from around the corner at that moment...

Seeing the two sisters so close, she coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, while also reminding them to focus on singing and turn their attention back to her.

"Master."

Ye Ying nodded: "I heard what you just said, so are you going back now?"

"Yes, what happened last night also severely weakened the Gold Group. They probably don't have much energy left to deal with me, so I want to take this time to bring Qianxue back to visit my parents."

"That's fine too. At least we don't have to wait until we've lost everything to realize what it means to cherish things."

Ye Ying reached out and patted Xia Qianmeng's head. No matter how terrifying Xia Qianmeng was outside, she was just her disciple to her, a disciple who would never grow up: "Do you want me to prepare transportation for you? Or will you fly back yourselves?"

Xia Qianmeng turned to look at Xia Qianxue, her meaning quite clear: she wanted to see Xia Qianxue's opinion.

Xia Qianxue was eager to see her parents, so she answered without hesitation, "Fly back."

"In that case, I wish you all a good time. After what happened yesterday, as long as no alien beasts come out, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"I think so too."

Finally, Xia Qianmeng hugged her master goodbye again before leaving with Xia Qianxue.

Meanwhile, in the Dark Xia Qianmeng's consciousness space, she was grumbling idly: "Do you know how precious this time is? Do you know how much you can do with this time? You two actually used it to visit relatives, your vision is so short-sighted."

Xia Qianmeng ignored her; she was happy as long as she felt it was worth it.

Every suit of armor has a stealth mode, which makes it immune to radar detection. Therefore, Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue did not encounter any accidents along the way and returned to their parents' secret base in the Black Group from the beach in Las Vegas in just two hours.

Meanwhile, Xia Wei and Xu Fangying were still studying the artificial armor that Gao Fei had sent back earlier that morning. These armors were the result of research by the Gold Group. On the way back, Gao Fei had also taken a few sets from the corpses.

"Dad, Mom, we are back."

Upon arriving at the laboratory, Xia Qianxue assumed her parents would be very welcoming of her return, or at least give Xia Qianmeng some face.

Xia Wei: "..."

Xu Fangying: "..."

In the past, they would have been very happy to see Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue return together, but they are currently focused on their research, and it would be a shame to lose that focus.

So, instead of dropping everything to be with their daughter as Xia Qianxue had expected, Xia Wei and Xu Fangying simply replied, "You two go and rest first, we'll talk after we're done."

Xia Qianmeng: "..."

Xia Qianxue: "..."

Xia Qianxue wanted to say something more, but Xia Qianmeng grabbed Xia Qianxue's arm and pulled her away together.

"Sis, don't be angry, Mom and Dad are..."

Once outside, Xia Qianxue immediately spoke up for her parents, because she thought Xia Qianmeng was angry again, and she didn't want her family to continue being so discordant.

"I'm not angry, I understand."

"Really?"

"……Fake."

Xia Qianmeng guiltily looked away. She considered herself to be quite petty, and that all she meant by "understanding" was just talk; her discomfort was the real issue.

Before Xia Qianxue could say anything more, Xia Qianmeng skillfully walked to the side passage and said, "I'm going to find a room to rest first. Feel free to wander around."

"No, I want to stay by your side forever and never leave you."

"You're not a child anymore, why are you saying such things?"

"I won't leave, no matter what."

"……Fine."

Actually, Xia Qianmeng also missed this feeling of being clingy, so when she saw that Xia Qianxue was unwilling to leave, she didn't try to persuade her too much.

If given the opportunity, Xia Qianmeng would very much like to keep her body clean at all times. For example, right now she went to the bathroom and took a nice hot shower before going to bed to continue resting.

She stayed up all night yesterday, so one morning wasn't enough for her to catch up on sleep. Therefore, Xia Qian wanted to continue catching up on sleep.

Seeing this, Xia Qianxue also took a shower and then, just like before, slipped into the bed where Xia Qianmeng was, while Xia Qianmeng was already asleep.

Perhaps because she had gotten used to being with Xia Qianxue again, Xia Qianxue secretly climbed into bed without disturbing Xia Qianmeng and causing her to wake up. This allowed Xia Qianxue's plan to continue.

After confirming that Xia Qianmeng was still fast asleep, Xia Qianxue secretly began to pull Xia Qianmeng's clothes up little by little...

Xia Qianxue felt uncomfortable hugging Xia Qianmeng through her usual clothes since Xia Qianmeng wasn't wearing pajamas or a nightgown to bed. So she resorted to this method, and she wasn't afraid of being punished by Xia Qianmeng at all.

Half an hour later, several pieces of clothing fell to the ground, and Xia Qianxue was finally able to comfortably hug Xia Qianmeng and continue catching up on her sleep, just as she had wished.

This time, Xia Qianmeng slept for several hours before waking up comfortably, and her spirits were finally restored.

Ok?
Seeing Xia Qianxue sleeping next to her, Xia Qianmeng wasn't surprised. What surprised her was her own and Xia Qianxue's current state. Although it wasn't the first time this had happened, it still annoyed Xia Qianmeng. How did Xia Qianxue become like this? She was too mischievous!
Just then, Xia Qianxue, who had sensed the commotion, woke up groggily. However, she didn't explain anything, but simply touched the hand that was tightening around Xia Qianmeng's waist and said, "Sister, you can only be mine."
