Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

In the end, Tang Xi could only invite Xiao Yao to her room and then make up a lie of a little fairy accidentally falling down into the secular world. The moment she entered the world, Xiao Rou had died, so she borrowed Xiao Rou’s body and came alive. However, she was seriously injured during her descent into the world, so her magic power was not stable and even she herself could not control it. Recently, she had finally regained some of her magic powers, but in order to save him, she had exhausted all of it and almost died…

Xiao Yao, an atheist Special Forces soldier, was utterly dumbfounded by her story. After quite a while, he said, “So, that’s why you were sleeping so long?”

Tang Xi nodded and replied, “Yes, so I don’t have any magic power now. I’m just your sister, an ordinary person.”

Tang Xi secretly sighed. Yes, she was indeed an ordinary person right now. 008 couldn’t be activated because he was angry. Before he could be restarted, she was completely an ordinary person. Well, only a bit different from ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Tang Xi couldn’t help sighing. She had sacrificed herself to save another. Why did 008 reduce her experience points instead of increasing them?!

Xiao Yao looked deeply at the girl in front of him. It turned out she was really a fairy. A fairy was living in their home!

Tang Xi noticed Xiao Yao’s strange look. A tough man was not supposed to have that kind of look in his eyes. Why was he eyeing her with worshipful fascination?

Xiao Yao seemed to realize this too. He clenched his fist and coughed, recovering his usual composure. Then he went to the balcony and sat down beside the round table, asking, “Do you mean the real Xiao Rou has died?”

Tang Xi nodded. She didn’t want to keep it from Xiao Yao. “That’s why I treated Xiao Jinning like I did. She killed a teenage girl. Although I could live in Xiao Rou’s body because she killed her, I can’t forgive her. She has to be punished.”

Xiao Yao’s face turned cold. “She’s not Xiao Jinning anymore. She’s Yao Jinning. She doesn’t deserve the surname of the Xiao Family.”

Tang Xi smiled and said softly, “If the real Xiao Rou were alive, she would have been very happy to know you are so nice to her.” As she said this, Tang Xi felt so lost. She thought they were so kind to her just because she was Xiao Rou. But when they found she was actually not Xiao Rou, would they still be as kind?

Xiao Yao frowned and said, “What are you talking about? You are Xiao Rou. You are our Xiao Rou. No one can replace you. We are nice to Xiao Rou because Xiao Rou is you.”

Xiao Yao didn’t know if she understood what he meant, but he wanted to tell her that whoever she was, they were just nice to her.

Tang Xi nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Yao.”

“No, I should thank you. If you hadn’t lived in our home, I would have died.”

At that moment, Lin Ru opened the door to Tang Xi’s room and entered. She asked, “What are you talking about? Fairy?”

“Nothing. Just a fairy tale,” Tang Xi replied, smiling at Lin Ru. “What’s the matter?”

Lin Ru said, “Your mom cooked some soup and told me to call you over to have some. You didn’t eat anything in the morning. Have some soup. It’ll be good for your stomach.”

Tang Xi nodded, smiled at Xiao Yao and followed Lin Ru down the stairs. Xiao Yao gazed at Tang Xi’s back as he followed behind her. In fact, he wanted to ask her what her previous name was, whether it was related to her online name and whether she was called Tang Xiaoxiao before.

Or was she using Xiaoxiao as her online name just because her last name was Xiao now?

What a little fairy of affection and justice.

Lin Ru went downstairs and ladled soup for them. Just then, the phone rang and she answered the phone, following which she turned pale. She said, “Wait just a minute. I’ll be right back.”

Lin Ru looked awful as she hurriedly picked up her bag and turned to go out. “Well, I have something to attend to. Enjoy your meal. Rourou, I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”

Yang Jingxian came out of the kitchen and asked, “You won’t be having lunch here?”

Lin Ru gave an apologetic smile. “My mom and dad came to my house and they’re making a commotion. I have to go back home to deal with it. See you.”

Yang Jingxian nodded. After Lin Ru left, she raised her eyebrows and sighed, saying, “Why did they come at this critical time?”

Tang Xi took a mouthful of soup and then asked, “What’s the matter?”

Yang Jingxian smiled and told her to keep eating. “Nothing. Drink more soup. Do you want another bowl?”

Tang Xi nodded without asking any further. She felt that it was so inconvenient without 008. She was just like a blank sheet of paper, knowing nothing…

008, I miss you so much.

How I miss those days when I could immediately call you out and ask you about anything that I wanted to know!

While Tang Xi was drinking the soup silently, Lin Ru was sitting in a taxi, burning with anxiety.

A private tarmac in Long Beach.

Qiao Liang nodded to the president of Long Beach Branch, who had come to see him off, thanking him for his care in the last few days. Feeling extremely flattered, the president hurriedly shook his head and said, “It is my honor to serve you, Boss. The plane is ready. Please get on.”

Qiao Liang nodded, told Little Five to head for the capital and turned around to board the plane.

After watching Qiao Liang get on the plane, the president of Long Beach Branch wiped away his sweat and turned to leave. But just then, a delicate and beautiful-looking Oriental girl came running towards him. His eyes lit up and he came up to her, asking, “Hey, girl, may I help you?”

Qin Xinying looked at the man in front of her, smiled and asked, “Hello, can you tell me where Qiao Liang is now?”

She had thought Qiao Liang had returned to China and thus she had flown back to City A to look for him, only to be told that he hadn’t come back. Afterwards, she tried going to the capital, as well as all the other places that he and Tang Xi had visited, but she couldn’t find him. Then she find out by chance that he had gone to Long Beach which was Tang Xi’s favorite holiday resort. She searched all the places in Long Beach that Tang Xi liked to go but still didn’t find Qiao Liang. Someone had told her Qiao Liang had a branch office here. She went there but he was not there. However, she had heard that the president of the branch office had come to the airport today. She thought that Qiao Liang had to be with him!

When the president heard her ask about Qiao Liang, there was a twinkle of surprise in his eyes, wondering whether she was the woman Boss was looking for.

God, he seemed to have discovered something big.

He pointed to the plane that had already taken off and said, “The president has left. I heard they’re going to the capital.”

Qin Xinying looked at the plane that disappeared among the clouds, the look in her eyes unfathomable…
