The demands Ren Anhua had made seemed to still echo in his ears.
Lu Shanshui was a little panicked right now.
“Wait, do we really have to do this? As the only male in the team, I think I’m still very valuable.”
“You said you’d satisfy any request. Didn’t you say that yourself? Besides, what’s wrong with being a girl? I think being a girl is great. Look how cute Xiao An is now,” Bai Rui was clearly very enthusiastic about Lu Shanshui becoming a girl.
For Bai Rui, “becoming cute” was probably her only principle.
Obviously, turning Lu Shanshui into a girl was in line with this principle.
“But Shanshui is right. When negotiating with other teams, it’s true that having him go can save a lot of trouble. There are always some people who, when they see a woman…” Xu Huairou had always been the calmest person on the team, but under her calm exterior, she also hid something she didn’t show—she liked Lu Shanshui, very much.
But unfortunately, she knew that the person Lu Shanshui liked was Ke Xingmei.
Even more unfortunately, she also knew that Ke Xingmei actually liked Lu Shanshui too.
However, there was one thing that could be considered lucky for Xu Huairou.
Because Lu Shanshui and Ke Xingmei had never revealed their feelings for each other, and they didn’t even know that the other liked them.
So Xu Huairou had always believed she still had a chance.
If she could make Lu Shanshui notice her feelings before they confessed to each other, then things might still turn around.
Until today, when Ren Anhua made such a request.
Turn Lu Shanshui into a girl?
No, that was absolutely not an option.
If Lu Shanshui became a girl, what would she, Xu Huairou, do?
Wouldn’t that mean… wouldn’t that mean she couldn’t have his baby…
Thinking of this, Xu Huairou’s face turned slightly red.
“You agree, right, Sister Xingmei?” Xu Huairou looked at Ke Xingmei.
Although they were rivals when it came to men, they should be friends when it came to the matter of Lu Shanshui being a man.
“But if this is what Xiao An wants…” Ke Xingmei seemed to hesitate.
Ren Anhua was, in a way, the person who had saved her sister’s life.
If there was any way to repay her, she would definitely do it.
But… turn Lu Shanshui into a girl?
She hesitated.
She hadn’t even confessed to him yet, and now she had to turn him into a woman with her own hands?
“How about… we turn him into a girl first, and when Xiao An is satisfied, we’ll turn Lu Ge back?” Ashe-wen proposed her idea.
As the team’s long-standing high-level combatant, she often fought alongside Lu Shanshui, charging to the forefront of the battlefield together.
Her feelings for this comrade-in-arms were actually quite simple.
She was unwilling to do what Lu Shanshui was unwilling to do, and she would help him get what he wanted.
To her, Lu Shanshui was like a teacher, a guide in life, telling her what to do today, or what not to do.
She liked this kind of life because she felt it was very easy.
For her, just listening to Lu Shanshui was enough.
She had never known how to ask for more.
“But if we turn Shanshui back into a man after Xiao An returns to the team, Xiao An will definitely find out. This plan is not feasible at all,” Bai Rui rejected this unrealistic proposal.
What she needed was for Ren Anhua to stay in the team long-term and stably.
This could not be achieved by a temporary deception.
Some treasures, once obtained and then lost, would be unbearable.
To Bai Rui, Ren Anhua was such a treasure.
She didn’t want to lose Ren Anhua again.
Ke Xiaoshan sat in the corner, her thoughts unknown.
If they were talking about life-saving benefactors, Lu Shanshui was one too.
This was a dilemma.
Lu Shanshui and Ren Anhua, she couldn’t easily choose between them.
However, turning Lu Shanshui into a girl seemed quite interesting.
If Lu Shanshui didn’t mind, Ke Xiaoshan would quite like to see what he would look like as a girl.
Compared to the RV team’s entanglement, Ren Anhua’s side was much more relaxed.
Finding the team and escaping the search were resolved at the same time, which suddenly gave her a sense of relief.
Although she didn’t know which secret path this team had taken, they had managed to avoid all the search parties and enter the First Ring, which was the private territory of the Yue and Wei families.
But the place they were in seemed even more private than private, because Ren Anhua discovered that it seemed to be a courtyard.
Shen Dinghui looked at the shoes Ren Anhua was wearing, looking somewhat dissatisfied.
The shoes Ren Anhua was wearing now were no longer the indoor shoes from the RV team.
Bai Rui had prepared a pair of everyday ankle boots for her, with thick heels that were very stable to wear.
But in any case, they were clearly not the pair Shen Dinghui had given her.
Of course, Shen Dinghui also knew that those shoes had been worn for a long time.
Given Ren Anhua’s usage, the heels might have even cracked.
The battle after entering Su City had also made several holes in them.
Finally, her whole person had fallen into a Broodmother.
They clearly couldn’t be worn anymore.
She knew, she knew all of it, but that didn’t stop her from being jealous.
Ren Anhua’s feet were very special.
Shen Dinghui was all too aware of this.
But this team could actually provide her with suitable shoes.
It seemed there was a rather extraordinary person among them.
“What’s wrong? You’re not following that team anymore?” she asked, crossing her arms, her tone tinged with a hint of resentment.
“What are you talking about? I’m your boss. Of course I’m coming back,” Ren Anhua, however, didn’t notice Shen Dinghui’s resentment at all.
“Ah, so you’re the boss? I always thought I was the boss,” Chen Shu was somewhat surprised.
“The one sent out to negotiate is usually the underling, so you’re the underling, and I’m the boss,” Ren Anhua’s analysis was logical and well-founded.
“Isn’t that because you want to chop people up after just a few words of negotiation?” Tang Yunxuan strongly agreed with Chen Shu’s words, because he had just experienced Ren Anhua’s brutal attitude up close yesterday.
“It’s their fault for always treating me like a little girl.”
“It’s your fault for looking like a little girl.”
“Chen Shu… I think you’ve been a bit arrogant recently,” Ren Anhua narrowed her eyes, and Chen Shu instinctively sensed a crisis.
“…Alright, alright, you’re the boss,” Chen Shu indicated his surrender.
After all, he couldn’t beat this pink-haired girl, and he wasn’t very attached to the position of boss anyway.
If this pink-haired girl wanted to be the boss, then let her be the boss.
Anyway, she was still just a mascot except for when they were fighting.
“See, I told you I’m the boss,” Ren Anhua showed a proud smile.
“So, introduce this person to your boss now. Who is she?” Ren Anhua pointed at a woman in a wheelchair.
She had seen this woman as soon as she came out.
Although this woman looked a bit sickly, Ren Anhua knew what kind of place this was.
This was the First Ring of Su City.
Anyone who appeared in this place was not a simple character.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the reason she was able to be here and avoid the Yue Family’s search was inseparable from this woman.
“Mr. Ren, hello. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yue Xiaolu, and I am the eldest daughter of the Yue Family,” Yue Xiaolu still showed good manners despite Ren Anhua’s impolite attitude.
“Oh? You call me Mr. Ren?”
“Brother Shanshui told me that this form of address would make you more comfortable, although I don’t know why. Or, I can call you Miss Tiezhu?”
“Uh, there’s no need for that. Mr. Ren is fine,” Ren Anhua understood how stupid the name Tiezhu was, especially when paired with the word “Miss.”
“Yue Xiaolu… Oh, you’re from the Yue Family. Someone from the Yue Family was looking for me yesterday too. I guess you didn’t come for the same purpose, right?” Ren Anhua was very sensitive to this person with the same surname as Yue Chang.
After all, she had been strung up by that guy yesterday.
If it hadn’t been for Yue Chang’s carelessness, she would probably be locked in a cage somewhere now.
But she had been brought here by the RV team.
The RV team probably wouldn’t lie to her again in this state, so Ren Anhua felt that this wheelchair girl named Yue Xiaolu was probably not on the same side as Yue Chang.
Hmm, meaning they were from different factions.
“Mr. Ren, you’re so smart. Uncle Yue Chang and I are indeed not on the same side. To be precise, my purpose is the exact opposite of his. He came to you hoping you would heal my grandfather, but my purpose…” Yue Xiaolu’s expression suddenly became serious.
“I hope you don’t do anything. This is no longer their era. Don’t go down a wrong path that goes against the times.”
The apocalypse had arrived, and the world had changed abruptly.
Yue Xiaolu was forced to bear the heavy burden of her family decades ahead of schedule due to the departure of her parents.
As the ace of Su City, she resonated with a hundred people, forming a powerful army of Awakened, and for this, she constantly endured the resonance pressure of a hundred people—this was the truth known to the Yue Family and the outside world.
However, was Yue Xiaolu really forced?
“You are not the only one who can heal my grandfather. Besides you, that woman named Ke Xingmei also has this level of ability. So they are working for me now. You should know what this represents, right?”
Yue Xiaolu looked at Ren Anhua.
She still looked so kind, but her tone carried a hint of unquestionable authority.
“My apologies. It seems this one is also a boss. My surname is Ren, my given name is Anhua, and my style name is Mingshili. Miss Yue has saved my life. There are still a bunch of people looking for me outside, so I naturally won’t repay kindness with enmity.”
“Mr. Ren is really a humorous person, but I am not one to take advantage of kindness. You are my guest, not my prisoner. If possible, I would rather you become my friend. After all, you are someone Brother Shanshui values, and I am also very curious,” when she said the words “Brother Shanshui,” Yue Xiaolu’s expression clearly softened a lot.
“Brother Shanshui?” This was not the first time Yue Xiaolu had called Lu Shanshui this.
To be honest, as the eldest daughter of the Yue Family, the center of power for the next generation of the Yue Family, and the future head of the Yue Family, to call the captain of a wandering team this was really strange to Ren Anhua.
Especially when she referred to Ke Xingmei as “that woman named Ke Xingmei.”
“Ah! This… this… Brother Shanshui is a very good person. He… he said we don’t need to be so formal between us, so… so I call him that. Of course, this is not a one-sided address. He also calls me Xiaolu. Every time I go to see them, he is the one who opens the door for me. Ah, am I talking too much?”
Ren Anhua looked at the love-struck young girl in front of her, whose style had suddenly changed, and suddenly felt that Lu Shanshui was a deeply sinful person.
He had to be turned into a girl to balance her psychologically.
