The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator
Chapter 64 Hunter 15
Sitting at the table, looking at Xiao Yi's plate piled high with food, Su Yuanyuan smiled helplessly.
She got up, grabbed another plate of cake, placed it next to him, ruffled his hair, and then went to get herself breakfast.
She ate a little and was full. Leaning back in her chair, she watched Xiao Yi finish one plate and then take another, her eyes full of doting smiles.
"Your younger brother has a good appetite."
Kuroro pulled out a book from somewhere and started reading. Seeing that Illumi had already started eating her third plate, he couldn't help but sigh to her.
Su Yuanyuan glanced at him, as if to say, "Who are you trying to imply?"
“He’s at the age where he’s growing, so it’s normal for him to eat more. We’re happy to support him, unlike some people.”
He closed the book, rested his chin on one hand, and thought for a while before speaking.
"Miss Eve, I don't think I've offended you?"
Su Yuanyuan gave him a forced smile, not even bothering to look at him. What's with the act of innocence? Don't think you can get away with secretly plotting against her.
This guy is a scoundrel. For a while, he kept asking Machi about her mission and then trying to set her up.
If she hadn't always adhered to the principle of being meticulous and thorough in her tasks, and hadn't always gone ahead to check things out beforehand, she might have actually fallen for his trick.
He still has the nerve to say he hasn't offended her? He's seriously offended her. She holds grudges and will find a chance to get back at him sooner or later.
"I just don't like you, okay?"
Kuroro stared at her for a while, smiling faintly, a hint of deep blackness in his eyes inadvertently appearing.
"Miss Eve is so straightforward."
Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. What should she do if she wanted to hit someone? She just couldn't stand the sight of this person.
Xiao Yi put down her cutlery, making a sound that drew the attention of both of them.
He stared at Kuroro with his dark eyes wide open, and a faint black aura emanated from his body, his killing intent almost solidifying into a tangible form.
Su Yuanyuan coughed lightly to stop laughing, and patted Xiao Yi's arm, telling him to tone it down.
"Why did you come to me?"
Kuroro glanced at Xiao Yi, his murderous aura undiminished, then looked at Su Yuanyuan and noticed she had no intention of stopping him.
He hesitated for a moment, then decided to ignore it since it wouldn't affect him much.
"The knight has discovered the ruins of the Kingdom of Ered. Machi should have told you that we're going in a month from now. Do you want to join us?"
Su Yuanyuan sensed the rising murderous aura emanating from the person beside her and sighed helplessly. "Kuroro, you're really good at courting death."
"I'm not interested. I already told Machi to turn it down. Why did you still come looking for me?"
"Machi's intuition tells her that you'll gain unexpected benefits if you come with us. Why don't you reconsider?"
Kuroro completely ignored Illumi's murderous aura, calmly looking at her with a resolute tone, as if she would definitely agree.
Su Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow. Machi hadn't told her about this, so she probably knew, and even if she had, she wouldn't have gone.
She didn't rush to answer Kuroro. Instead, she reached out and pulled out the Nen needles from her body, then gave Illumi's head a couple of hard rubs, clearly not trusting her.
He stopped exuding murderous intent and immediately turned to stare at her, looking pitiful.
She couldn't help but soften her heart again. Oh my god, how could her little brother be so cute?
Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but pinch his cheeks, and seeing that both sides of his face were red, she turned to look at Kuroro in a calm tone.
“I’m not interested. I think my life is fine now, and there’s no need to create unnecessary excitement for myself.”
Kuroro looked regretful, then glanced at Illumi again, his eyes dark and unfocused.
Su Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes. It seemed that dealing with him would have to be put on the agenda soon. How dare he look at Xiao Yi with such a malicious gaze.
Kuroro realized what was happening, looked back at her, shrugged, and stood up calmly.
"Alright then, Miss Eve, I'll be going now. I have a lot to do before entering the ruins."
Su Yuanyuan sneered inwardly. What are you preparing? Every time, it's your group members who are busy. You, the group leader, are like a mascot, with nothing better to do than scheme against people.
But she still wore a formulaic smile and stood up. "Okay, I won't see you off. Please give my regards to Machi."
He stared into Su Yuanyuan's eyes for a long time, then tilted his head in slight distress.
"Is Miss Eve cursing me in her heart?"
"How could that be? How could you think that? Our Zoldyck family's upbringing wouldn't allow me to do that."
Su Yuanyuan calmly retorted, and seeing his disbelieving look, she pondered for a moment and then added.
"Think about the other people you've scammed; I think there must be quite a few who are cursing you."
Kuroro visibly choked for a moment, then smiled and looked at her for a long while before lowering his eyes, a fleeting hint of coldness in them.
Without saying anything more, he turned and strode away.
Watching him disappear, Su Yuanyuan's formulaic smile faded. She reached out and grabbed Xiao Yi's ear, pulling him closer to her.
"That's really something! Little Yi actually dared to insert a mind-control needle into me. You really think I would agree to his request?"
Xiao Yi didn't dare to resist when her ear was pulled, and just looked at her with a wronged expression, while Su Yuanyuan covered her face with one hand.
"Where did this little brat learn this trick?" she thought helplessly, letting go of him and then squeezing his face, which looked exactly like hers, for a while.
"no next time."
Xiao Yi slightly curled the corners of her lips, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes, and nodded lightly as if to agree.
"Don't rush off. Wait until I finish my mission and we'll go back together. I'm afraid Kuroro might turn back halfway."
"Ok."
Su Yuanyuan checked the time; Walter should be up soon, so she took Xiao Yi back.
The next few days were very easy; no assassin came to kill Walter. He was just overthinking things.
Every time he tried to get close to her, Xiao Yi would step in front of him and occasionally unleash her murderous aura.
Walter didn't know what he was thinking; every time he was scared, his face turned pale and his legs trembled, but he would still do it again the next time.
Su Yuanyuan found the interaction between the two quite amusing. She had already told Xiao Yi that she wouldn't like Walter, but he still went his own way.
She simply stopped worrying about it; it would only last a few days anyway, so it wouldn't be a big problem.
Kuroro left and never reappeared. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With no one to bother her, she successfully completed the mission a week later.
"Miss Eve, wait a minute!"
Su Yuanyuan and Xiao Yi stood beside the airship as Walter approached her with a large entourage of bodyguards.
She looked at Walter speechlessly. This was quite a show of force. She had told him that no one was going to assassinate him, but he just wouldn't believe her. He only hired these bodyguards because they were about to leave.
"Mr. Walter, is there anything else?"
She asked politely, and Walter took a box from the bodyguard and handed it to her.
Seeing the box in his hand, Su Yuanyuan didn't take it, but just looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Miss Eve, this is a parting gift for you. You must accept it.”
