Chapter 259: A Warrior in a Skirt
ββ¦β¦ Looks like you're doing well right now. β
In a high-end restaurant in the Empire, a young girl took a slightly hasty look at her surroundings, and reluctantly calmed down after seeing the only familiar person in front of her.
Qiu Xuan, who was forced to change into a brand new dress, sat indifferently on the chair opposite, taking advantage of the fact that there were still few people, and secretly reached behind him with one hand to try to untie the strap of the corset inside. Her nominal sister didn't say anything when she saw it, thought about it and said, "Did you really let me come to see Mu Feng?" But how could you...... I mean, Mom and Dad sold you to the Ryder family a long time ago, don't you hate us? β
β¦β¦ This Marianne made a fisherman's knot to the damn of hell!
There were already people around who thought they were stealthily peeking this way, as if wondering why this well-dressed and well-looking woman would do such a thing in the street. Qiu Xuan pursed her lips, but still stretched her hand out of the clothes behind her back.
"I don't hate you, life is forced, there is no way, I can understand."
ββ¦β¦β
The girl pursed her lips.
After all, it is all the handiwork of the Ryder family now, so it is naturally not good to be too cheap, so as not to be looked down upon. In this high-end restaurant at such an ordinary noon, Qiu Xuan had already seen nearly four or five nobles who had appeared at the dinner party held by the emperor that day. And if you think about it, the security system of the whole building must be very good.
She took a sip of her drink, "Wood Wind will be here soon, just wait." β
"You follow Mu Feng...... How's the relationship? β
It's full of Ryder's eyeliner, and her every word and action is reported at any time. Qiu Xuan spread her hands, "I haven't met, and this is the first time I've seen each other." β
This is true in a sense, except for the time when she learned that Mu Feng was also a member of the rebel group in Lyme Village, in fact, in reality, she really did not see Mu Feng once.
And since she has made it clear that she will join the gang, and since she and Ethan are definitely an important part of their organization's plan, Qiu Xuan believes that the organization will not give up on her easily, and she doesn't know what new news Mu Feng will bring this time.
The two of them sat wordlessly in the dining room and waited for a while, and if nothing else, Mu Feng was 100% late.
The nominal sister in front of her began to fidget, and Qiu Xuan calmly finished eating two plates of staple food alone, and found herself stuck in place when she reached for the third plate.
β¦β¦ The already tight corset became tighter because she ate too much, and this time it even began to make it difficult for her to breathe.
And in such an embarrassing situation, Mu Feng arrived.
At the same time, there was also Ryder, who was surrounded by a line of security guards who came in person.
It seems that he intends to come over and watch this last lunch himself.
There is really enough leisure, Qiu Xuan rolled her eyes in her heart. The sister in front of her was already in a hurry and didn't know what to do the moment she saw Mu Feng Zhenren, but fortunately, she noticed the pale man who was following her, and hurriedly lifted her skirt and made a rusty and slightly stiff greeting.
Ryder frowned visibly.
Fortunately, he didn't come to bother with his sister, so he went straight to the seat and glanced at Qiu Xuan, who was still stuck over there, which seemed to be a little funny. "Have we ever experienced this before?"
"Help, help, help."
After a brief farce, the strange and absurd lunch for four officially begins.
Dead silence spreads among the four. Ryder looked at the dishes on the menu with his eyes a little critically, Qiu Xuan carefully served the dessert into his mouth, for fear that he would be strangled by the corset directly to leave this beautiful world without paying attention, and his sister thought that she was doing a very hidden job peeking at Mu Feng with her eyes, and she seemed to be afraid to gasp because of Ryder's presence.
Mu Feng was silent for a while, then took the lead in clearing his throat and speaking.
"Thank you for your generosity, Master Ryder. It is a great pleasure for me to have lunch with you and two beautiful ladies, but I would like to invite you to this lunch, and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to meet with the despicable people. β
Ryder squeezed out a reply from his throat in reward, but it wasn't really a reply, it was like an uncomfortable throat and slightly adjusted twice. Mu Feng smiled, looking a little embarrassed.
My sister subconsciously opened her mouth to round the field for Mu Feng, and the next second Qiu Xuan suddenly spoke: "What are you doing here?" β
Her question was not pointed, but anyone with a discerning eye knew she was asking Ryder.
Mu Feng frowned in the shadows and shook his head slightly at her.
"What, I can't come?" Ryder spoke this time, waving away the waiter who wanted to come to order, and completely turned to face Qiu Xuan. "I'm coming here with me, is it getting in your way?"
Mu Feng: "No, I met Young Master Ryder halfway through, and I just wanted everyone to ...... together."
Qiu Xuan: "Yes. β
Mu Feng: "Uh, this ......"
My sister has never experienced this kind of scene, such as sitting on pins and needles and looking around, and finally her eyes are fixed on Mu Feng.
Qiu Xuan didn't seem to see the man's gloomy expression to the extreme. "You come along, how can I scold people then?"
Ryder was stunned, "What ......"
"Didn't I tell you before that I came here for something," Qiu Xuan took it for granted, "The scene may be very brutal at that time, you yourself want to come and see it, if it implicates you, it has nothing to do with me." β
"So you're really going to ......" Ryder calmed down, his eyes turned twice around Mu Feng and his sister, who had not yet reacted in a daze. I thought you were kidding. β
"Not really."
Seeing that if she continued to eat it again, she was really going to be here today, Qiu Xuan pushed away the half-eaten dessert in front of her and stood up with a slight difficulty. "Tell you, I went to great lengths to invite the two of them over for dinner, and I had to endure one more person next to me, just for today. I'm really such a person who will repay me. β
The excessive movement here had already begun to attract the attention of the others in the restaurant, but Qiu Xuan didn't care.
Ryder secretly waved his hand, telling the bodyguard to wait.
"Sister." Qiu Xuan left her seat, staggered and stepped on the ten-centimeter high heels specially matched for her by Marianne all the way, the thin and tall heels that made the entwined patterns of flowers and vines were stepped on by her as if she was drunk, she leaned down with her hands on the back of the girl's chair, and the complicated and gorgeous belt was dragged all the way to the table. "You like the wood wind, huh?"
The girl subconsciously blushed, but because of the inexplicable and weird atmosphere now, she still whispered: "What's wrong with you?" β
"I didn't do much, I just came here to tell you what kind of person Mu Feng is."
She propped one hand on the back of the chair, and bent down with the other hand to reach her feet, which were beautiful but difficult to reach the anti-human high heels. As he spoke, he pulled up the large skirt that was layered and dragged to the ground.
"Wood Wind, ......"
Ryder and Mu Feng twisted their eyebrows at the same time, the pale aristocratic fingers twitched slightly, and the bodyguards scattered everywhere were eyeing each other, waiting for an order to step forward and make a move.
Qiu Xuan simply lifted the hem of her skirt and tied a knot, stood barefoot on the special metal floor of the restaurant, straightened up and looked at Ryder, who was like a great enemy, and finally showed a sincere smile that had been in the past three days.
"βThere is water everywhere around us, but there is not a drop of water to drink."
"Do it! Stop them! β
Almost at the moment when Qiu Xuan's words fell, Ryder stood up abruptly and shouted at the bodyguards around him. At the same time, the wooden wind moved, and the stick body shaped very much like nunchucks made a move, and took the lead in handing hands with the first layer of bodyguards who rushed up.
In the chaos, Mu Feng's eyes looked at Qiu Xuan, who was still standing, for a second, and the man's left hand touched the Zhi Brain on his wrist and pressed a button hard.
Somewhere in the building towering into the clouds, there was a faint and unpleasant explosion sound.
Ryder rushed over under the cover of layers of bodyguards, and his eyes were gloomy and eye-catching on his pale face. "I've sent someone to change your shackles," he said, "and now you go back with me, and I can ignore your actions after I've settled this place, or I'll let you live worse than die." β
Qiu Xuan raised her arm, the intricately layered cuffs fell, and the red-glowing shackle was firmly clamped to the thin white wrist.
"Let me live rather than die?"
She repeated the words playfully, and as she spoke, her other hand suddenly covered the instrument, and her five fingers made a grasping motion.
In Ryder's suddenly constricted pupils, the restraint fell to the ground like a pile of scrap metal, and the girl in front of him, who was still wearing a complicated dress, tilted her head and repeated the previous words.
"I'm a man who will repay me."
"No, it can't be." Ryder shook his head, "You haven't been in contact with Mu Feng at all, and there's no way he's going to give you a destroyer." β
"It was given to me by someone who likes to drink water, oh no, he didn't 'give it to me' at all, he just replaced the whole thing."
The cold light flashed, and in the exclamation of the onlookers, Qiu Xuan had a familiar double knife in his hand.
Everyone who has watched "Live Game" has witnessed the terrifying power of this short knife in the show, and now, the owner of the knife is standing in front of them, ready to understand them with his own hands.
Not only that, but in the ensuing earth-shattering loud noise, the special wall of the high-rise restaurant was suddenly broken open.
The tall man stood in the cracked wall with a heavy launcher in hand, and behind him, countless men in black were bloodied and ready to attack.
Qiu Xuan crouched down and rushed towards Ryder with his knife in his hand.
"Let's go!"
The person in charge of the suit and leather shoes stopped her movements, and shouted as he led the battle situation to the other side, "I haven't found out which side those people belong to for the time being, but now the situation is out of control." We informed the Empire that military support was on the way. β
In the dazzling fight, Qiu Xuan noticed that among the black-clothed people who came, there were still several cameras on their shoulders to take pictures of the scene at any time.
There were already people from the military raid team who appeared to ensure the safety of those nobles, and Qiu Xuan picked the knife in his other hand with his fingertips, trying to fight his way through the more and more crowds that gathered around. Then Mu Feng solved the bodyguard on that floor hurriedly came to stand with her, and whispered during the gap: "Those cameramen are all our people, don't worry about it, just fight as usual, and we will solve it in terms of follow-up public opinion guidance." β
"How's it going over there?"
Overly complicated dresses and corsets are still inconvenient for battle, but because the hem of Qiu Xuan's skirt has now been opened up to the point where it can no longer be used, she has to wear her skirt abruptly in the dark battle uniform, which looks like she has just escaped from a ball.
She stepped on the ground barefoot, suddenly spun around, supported the shoulders of a soldier with her palms, and jumped high to make it a shield for the bullet holes that shot diagonally, and then used her strength to turn another round on the shoulders that were about to fall, and her calves were stuck in the corpse's neck, hanging upside down on it, and at the same time reaching out and cutting the throat of the latecomer.
"Collar ...... We're ready to go all out and declare war, and the good news is that a significant number of players and staff are willing to join us when we leave Lyme. That's right......" Mu Feng was still taking advantage of the gap to explain to her, and was silent for two seconds after seeing the man's usual way of fighting.
His mouth opened and closed, and Mu Feng really didn't know what to say, so he could only try to maintain the last trace of the so-called gentlemanly demeanor so that he didn't look back at the lady who was fighting in a skirt.
He is because he has no position to say anything, but someone is different.
Qiu Xuan landed on the ground and wiped the blood stains on the Zimu knife with the expensive cloth on her forearm without feeling distressed, and saw the two bodyguards behind him who stepped forward to attack again in the next second and fell to the ground without even having time to snort, and the man on the side removed the heavy launcher he was carrying on his shoulder, and strode towards this side with his eyebrows twisted.
"Yo, I didn't expect you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to defect to the revolution." Qiu Xuan quipped.
Qin Jiuyuan still had a stinky face and took two steps forward to untie the hem of her skirt, and said in a rough voice: "Don't move, there are enough people here, let's go back immediately." β
"Okay."
There was a small sound, and in the wall surrounded by bodyguards and the person in charge, Ryder and a group of nobles stayed in the back, anxiously and panickedly waiting for military support to arrive. And some people had already taken out their life-saving aircraft early, and were about to escape directly from the window of the restaurant.
Qiu Xuan's eyes turned, and on the projection screen in the hands of a nobleman, he suddenly saw the familiar figure of Marianne, the lady of the mille-feuille cake.
She suddenly laughed inexplicably, and walked towards Ryder, who was about to leave the window, under the watchful gaze of everyone in a moment, and stuck her perspective just enough for the person on the screen to see.
In front of Marianne, Qiu Xuan turned her back on her hand and dug it out behind the back of the complicated dress for a long time.
In the end, she simply cut the knots tied with a few knives, and she ripped off her corset, bypassing several bodyguards who seemed to be facing the enemy, and fell straight on Ryder's face. "Fuck you."
