The Villainess Is Always Pretending to Be the Virgin Mary

Gu Chi still felt something strange, but he didn’t have the slightest clue.

But Lu Yunfei and the others looked much more excited than himself, so he didn’t say much.

“Captain, please tell me how you broke through to seventh-level? I heard people say that it depends on comprehension… Could it be that you had a sudden epiphany yesterday?”

“…No,” Gu Chi paused, then said, “I fell asleep.”

“No way! Captain Gu, isn’t this a bit of Versailles style?” Even Mu Yu couldn’t help complaining, but her face was also full of joy. 

(Versailles Style is an internet slang mocking people who humble-brag about their rich lifestyles)

“That’s right, Captain, you are still hiding something! There must be some secret to breakthrough!” Lu Yunfei said with a smile, patting Gu Chi’s arm.

“If I had to say…” Gu Chi frowned slightly, “As if in a dream, I vaguely felt some energy pouring into my body. But I’m not sure.”

Naturally, no one would believe such an answer. At most, they would think that Gu Chi had talent and high understanding, so he broke through naturally without any effort.

Song Yi, for example, had such a thought.

With a smile on her face, when everyone else was chattering around Gu Chi and asking questions, she stood aside, silently looking at him with affectionate eyes.

Seventh-level, the only one in the world with a seventh-level ability!

How could such a man keep her from being moved?

As if aware of her gaze, Gu Chi suddenly raised his head to look at her.

Her gaze was too fixated, so he frowned.

Song Shi panicked, quickly put away her admiration, gave him a blessed smile, and lowered her head.

Her heart was beating extremely fast, but it was not because of shame, but because of fear.

Her little thought for Gu Chi must not be discovered by him. The distance between her and Gu Chi was already far enough. If he noticed something, he would definitely alienate her.

She had been following the team for more than a year, so she knew Gu Chi’s temper very well.

Gu Chi glanced at her, but out of the corner of his eye, he was attracted by another person sitting in the corner.

The girl who was picked up sat there alone, looking at their group with a sweet smile on her face.

He glanced at her, then looked away.

Was it an illusion?

How should he put it… He inexplicably saw “begging to boast” from her face.

Gu Chi seriously denied the thoughts in his heart. Sure enough, the girl was so weird that he had weird thoughts when he saw her.

[Host, do you have the ability to help people upgrade their ability?]

Chi Ying shook her head and replied, “No.”

She just restored Gu Chi’s ability to a saturated state. In fact, that person’s use of the ability was surprisingly accurate, and he had already reached the critical point of breakthrough. She just did a small favor and gave it a push.

[I see.]

The rest of the people were preparing to go on their way.

“Lin Xun, was everything put in order?” Lu Yunfei looked at the tall and strong man next to him and asked.

“Well, I brought everything including the gun. The rest of the big items are placed in Mu Yu’s space.”

“Okay. Then let’s get on the road.”

Lin Xun, Mu Yu and Song Shi had always been in the same car. The reason was that the men agreed that it would be more appropriate for the two women in the team to stay together. Being with big men like them was sometimes inconvenient.

Song Shi originally wanted to sit with Gu Chi, but everyone else decided. She couldn’t refuse directly as it would attract their attention.

Gu Chi looked at Chi Ying, who was the only one left, and said, “The next base we pass by is the C-level safe zone. Usually, someone will go there to deliver basic supplies. After a while, we may be able to take you to the C-level zone to stay there.”

“We’ll just drop you there.”

Chi Ying nodded.

“For a total of three days’ journey, you and Mu Yu will go in the same car.”

Chi Ying glanced at them, and shook her head when she saw Song Shi put her things into the car, “I want to go with you.”

Gu Chi was slightly taken aback, “Why?”

Chi Ying wanted to say that it was because she didn’t like that person named Song Shi. If it was a day and a half, it was fine. If she was really told to listen to her nonsense for three full days, she was really not sure if she could survive.

“Because… It’s crowded.”

Gu Chi: “…” Fine.

Although he didn’t think it was crowded, Gu Chi never cared about such small things. The conditions that could be met at any time were not important to him at all.

“Go and sit in the back.”

While speaking, he kept his things in the trunk of the car.

But Song Shi, who just got into the car, was not calm at the moment. She turned her head and stared at Chi Ying who had just easily asked to ride in the same car as Gu Chi. The position she had expected for a long time was easily occupied by an outsider…

She gritted her teeth.

“Song Shi?”Mu Yu’s voice interrupted her train of thought, “What’s wrong with you? You don’t look well…”

“Is it? Maybe I didn’t sleep well last night, as it was too noisy…”

She looked hesitant to speak.

“Oh, it’s really windy around here. Add a warm layer over the sleeping bag tonight, and it will be much better.”

Mu Yu’s head was so rigid that she didn’t even notice what Song Shi meant.

Song Shi cursed secretly, but still said softly, “…Um.”
