Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun slid back a step, as if knowing it was in the wrong. Its cylindrical mechanical body automatically lowered a section, slipped under Xia Chujian's arm, and scurried away.
Xia Chujian curled her lip, thinking this robot was dishonest.
Once Quan Yuxun left, she would teach it a lesson...
While pondering, Xia Chujian walked behind the screen and began to change clothes.
The Nanomaterial bodysuit that Zong Ruoan had given her had to be worn underneath.
Then, she touched the Other Shore Flower pendant necklace around her neck, where her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha was stored.
Huo Yushen's words echoed in her mind. Xia Chujian gritted her teeth and pressed the switch. The Shao Siming Mecha indeed surged out of its casing and quickly covered her entire body.
The Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha was not made of ordinary metal. Its shape could change freely, adhering like flowing water. It could indeed be worn under clothes and should be bulletproof.
Moreover, the bulletproof function of this mecha was even better than that of a professional bulletproof vest.
That made her doubly insured.
Xia Chujian immediately felt very safe.
She wore the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha outside the bulletproof suit, then put on a camouflage hunting jacket with many pockets over the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha. Finally, she put on a standard beast fur coat issued by the Dark Night Hunter Association over the hunting jacket.
Wearing so much in this season wouldn't arouse suspicion, and she would feel more comfortable.
After all, it was too cold...
Xia Chujian looked in the mirror and found that the mecha's helmet with butterfly wings and the Black Silver boots were very uncoordinated and a bit of an eyesore.
This was not a problem.
Xia Chujian had long studied every part of this mecha thoroughly.
She quickly controlled the mecha, softening and folding the mecha's helmet back to her neck, turning it into a neck brace to protect her throat.
The power system under her feet was necessary, but the mecha boots made of this material looked too out of place.
So Xia Chujian found a pair of beast fur boots with worn soles, quickly removed the soles, and then, like putting on long socks, put the soleless beast fur boots directly over her mecha boots.
This way, as long as no one looked at the soles of her shoes, they would just see a pair of ordinary, even somewhat old, moss-green beast fur boots.
Looking in the mirror again, she looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Because Xia Chujian was not a Gene Evolver, but worked as a Bounty Hunter in the Dark Night Hunter Association, which was almost entirely made up of Gene Evolvers, she was very concerned about her own safety.
It was a tearful story because those Gene Evolvers could directly withstand certain damages with their bodies, but she, an ordinary person, couldn't withstand any of it, so she could only rely on these external objects for protection.
Then, she pulled out her gun case from under the bed.
She fell into deep thought looking at the blue and white floral cover on the gun case.
She couldn't carry it out like this...
Xia Chujian thought for a while, then took off the particularly rustic cover, only carrying the dark gun case, holding the gun case in one hand and the Ability Defense Helmet issued by the Dark Night Hunter Association in the other, and walked out of the room smartly.
Wu Fu looked at her from behind and said eagerly, "Sister! Sister! Eat bun! Eat bun!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
Without turning her head, she said, "Wu Fu and Si Xi go find Xia Gugu for breakfast. Sister has something to do and will be back in the afternoon."
Arriving in the living room, Xia Chujian, in front of Quan Yuxun, put on the Lily-of-the-Valley Purple Silk Hat, which was said to prevent Rank S Mental Strength attacks, and then put the metal Ability Defense Helmet over the silk hat.
She was also wearing a beast fur coat, plus a self-heating mask, which looked seamless and not abrupt.
Quan Yuxun looked her up and down, but shook his head and said, "We are going to enter the South District incognito. You can't show this gun case."
"Ah?" Xia Chujian was surprised, "Aren't I supposed to hide in the distance and help you with remote sniping?"
"...No, you don't need to be a sniper. This time, you need to protect me by my side." Quan Yuxun said, "We have new foldable smart Submachine Guns, which are said to be as powerful as sniper rifles in the hands of a Marksman. Do you want to try it?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
It... was quite attractive.
She hurriedly put the gun case back in the bedroom, only took the smart Long-barreled Pistol and a Tactical Dagger, and stuffed two boxes of bullets into the khaki hunting jacket inside the coat.
The clothes weren't good for anything else, but they had a lot of pockets.
"Gugu, these next few days, I'll just follow Chief Quan around Mulan City a few times. Don't worry, I'll go out in the morning and be back in the afternoon."
Xia Chujian leaned into the laundry room built on the balcony and told Xia Yuanfang.
Xia Yuanfang knew she couldn't stop her, so she didn't continue to object, turning back to say, "Be careful. Although you're working as a bodyguard, you don't need to risk your life, understand?"
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Gugu underestimates me too much. My gunmanship is very accurate!"
Xia Yuanfang hesitated.
What's the use of accurate gunmanship? Those Gene Evolvers are not to be trifled with...
Xia Yuanfang followed her to the living room and said to Quan Yuxun, "Chief Quan, I know you paid to hire our Chujian as a bodyguard, but she's still young and doesn't understand things. If she offends you in any way, please forgive her."
Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "Xia Gugu, don't worry. I have many other security personnel. Having Chujian with me is for convenient action during incognito visits."
At first, Xia Chujian didn't understand what Quan Yuxun meant by this, until she followed him to the penthouse he had just bought and saw him take out two Face Masks and two sets of rustic and worn-out padded cotton outfits.
"...We're disguising as a father and daughter looking for relatives?!" Xia Chujian asked suspiciously, "Are you deliberately taking advantage of me?"
Quan Yuxun said seriously, "Our ages make this disguise the most appropriate."
"How old are you this year?" Xia Chujian couldn't help but be sarcastic, "Are you twenty-five?"
Quan Yuxun smiled, "...Just take it as a compliment. I just turned thirty at the end of last year."
Xia Chujian: "..."
You really can't tell that Quan Yuxun is thirty years old!
He is indeed of an elder's age.
Xia Chujian touched her nose and resignedly put on the Face Mask, looking in the mirror.
Her Face Mask looked particularly young, appearing to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, with shoulder-length short hair and thick bangs covering her forehead. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her chin was pointed, like a melon seed face, pitiful and completely different from her own heroic hexagonal face.
Xia Chujian looked in the mirror, then looked in the mirror again, feeling that this appearance was a bit familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
She touched her face and turned to look at Quan Yuxun.
Quan Yuxun also put on his Face Mask, no longer looking like the handsome and refined young nobleman, but a middle-aged man who had experienced the hardships of life, his every move filled with vicissitudes.
He looked at Xia Chujian, his eyes revealing a trace of doting and sadness, and... he really did have the feeling of a father.
Xia Chujian: "..."
Even more awkward.
She said calmly, "Chief Quan, you can even act out the look in your eyes..."
Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "This is nothing. If you meet a few more Senate members, you'll know what a drama queen is."
Xia Chujian cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your kind words. I hope to have the opportunity to visit the Senate on Beichen Star and see the world in the future."
"You really know how to seize the opportunity."
"Likewise."
The two put on the particularly rustic padded cotton coats.
Because of this, Xia Chujian had to take off her outer beast fur coat.
...
Xia Chujian and Quan Yuxun left the house together.
The two arrived at the Inner City Maglev Train station at the entrance of the residential area to wait for the train.
It had snowed a few days ago, and this residential area was a high-end one, with property management not on the same level as Xia Chujian's.
In Xia Chujian's residential area, all kinds of snow were piled up like mountains and seas, and they hadn't melted. Only the places where people often walked had been trampled into a snowy path.
But at the entrance of Quan Yuxun's residential area, it had already been cleaned, not only was there no snow on the road, but salt had also been sprinkled to prevent freezing.
Xia Chujian stood at the station, looking around, and whispered, "Where are your security personnel?"
"They're following, they won't show themselves. You don't think I'm going to have a dozen people around me for an 'incognito visit', do you?" Quan Yuxun said calmly, his weathered face full of sighs.
Xia Chujian: "..."
She decided not to worry about it and just be her young girl character, playing herself.
Soon the Suspension Train arrived, and the two boarded. Besides them, there was no one else on the train.
The train moved quickly, and before long, the two got off at the Inner City Maglev Train station near the South District of Mulan City.
Xia Chujian was now dressed in very rustic clothes.
A small cotton-padded jacket with a red background and white flowers, black cotton trousers covering her moss-green long boots, only revealing the hard toe of the boots.
On her back was a small red floral bundle, containing the foldable new smart Submachine Gun, along with five magazines, a total of five hundred bullets.
Quan Yuxun, on the other hand, carried a half-person-high travel bag, bulging and looking like the moving device commonly used by street vagrants.
These were actually prepared equipment, and Xia Chujian had wanted to ask him about it for a long time.
Quan Yuxun said in a low voice, "...Of course it's weapons, what did you think?"
Xia Chujian's eyes lit up when she saw the length: "...That Destroyer 1 Large Sniper Rifle is in there, right?"
Quan Yuxun didn't speak, just curled the corner of his mouth.
The two of them walked into the South District of Mulan City side by side.
The South District of Mulan City is different from the East, West, and North residential districts. It is specifically designated for Humanoids Lowly People to live in.
The district is surrounded by walls, with four large gates as entrances, separating it from the other three human-inhabited areas.
Xia Chujian and Quan Yuxun walked in through the middle gate on the south side.
The walls of the South District are very high, at least seven or eight meters at a glance.
The gates are all dark iron gates, with sharp iron spikes on top.
The iron spikes are hollow and can spray poisonous gas from the inside at any time.
It is said that this is to prevent flying Humanoids Lowly People from flying out of the South District under the cover of darkness.
Xia Chujian can be said to have grown up here, so she is no stranger to all of this.
