What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 327: Heart Of The Strong

Mi Xiaolin seemed not to have noticed the two of them; she had entered through the back door while talking to someone else.

Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji both released their spiritual senses to eavesdrop on the conversation:

“The number of passengers boarding the ship is increasing. Stay vigilant with security.”

“Understood.”

“Is the symphony orchestra ready?”

“They’ve already had their meals and are ready to perform at any time.”

“For those special guests, have a dedicated guide ready to fulfill all their requests.”

John, the assistant, spoke angrily, “It’s all because of that Chu Ge, he called the police and stirred the pot. Now we’re short on the best reception staff. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be so tight on resources.”

Mi Xiaolin sneered, “Oh, you know idioms too.”

John sneered back, “Bitch.”

Mi Xiaolin said calmly, “So what if I’m a bitch? Without me, would you have been able to execute your plan?”

John spat and remained silent. In truth, he was deeply wary of her. Her hidden strength and cruelty exceeded the imagination of most members of their organization.

When she first crossed the border and arrived in North America, she spent over a month at sea on a rickety boat. Nobody knew what she endured as a lone woman during that time. What people did know was that within an hour of her disembarking, every single crew member of the ship died, not a single one left alive.

The crew had gone to the bar after disembarking, and countless people watched as they enjoyed their drinks and food. Suddenly, their hearts and genitals seemed to explode like bursting butterflies, and they all died in an instant.

Mi Xiaolin had entered the country illegally, and the police had no knowledge of her existence aboard the ship. Consequently, they had no way to investigate, and the incident was treated as a paranormal occurrence and forgotten.

The police didn’t know, but the people in their organization knew very well. Since then, they avoided Mi Xiaolin like the plague. As long as they didn’t have any direct contact with her, she couldn’t use her butterfly supernatural ability. Then, she was just an ordinary woman who knew some martial arts. John and the others didn’t have to fear her, but they knew that a seemingly beautiful woman could hide so much cunning and ruthlessness.

This time, Robin’s mission in China didn’t originally include Mi Xiaolin. However, due to their organization’s mistake, Mi Xiaolin was temporarily called in to manage the operation. John was a little annoyed that she took over his leadership, but he could only curse her as a bitch, hiding his deep fear.

Mi Xiaolin continued in her calm tone, “The master has put me in charge here, so you all should listen to me. For the initial phase, don’t cause any trouble. Focus on building a stable operation for over a month before considering anything else. Now, we are the most legitimate sea music park in town, featuring the most beautiful scenery in Nanjiang. If we put on the right facade, whether it’s Chu Ge or that Qin Wuyang…”

“Lin Wuyang,” John corrected.

Mi Xiaolin said, “It’s all the same. Whether it’s Chu Ge or Lin Wuyang, as long as we limit their ability to disrupt us, it makes things much easier.”

John couldn’t help but say, “Weren’t you doing the same thing before? I heard your group was quite well-known in Shanghai. How did it collapse overnight?”

“That’s because of a mole!” Mi Xiaolin said with bitterness. “Are you implying that you might betray us too?”

John didn’t want to engage with her on that topic. He actually looked down on her practical abilities in handling matters. He had never heard of a major corporation falling apart overnight. Even a sinking ship still had some nails left. Who had the ability to mess things up so completely?

But they had no choice. The boss believed that she understood China and put her in charge. They had to go along with it.

Seeing Mi Xiaolin’s seductive figure, he thought to himself, “Once we really succeed, what value will someone like you have? When we nullify your abilities, you’ll be at our mercy, and we can do whatever we want.”

Mi Xiaolin had no idea what he was thinking. She was pleased to be in command and casually said, “I just took a look outside. You let people board the ship without proper verification? You’re not checking who’s coming in?”

John replied, “We have cameras, and if we spot Chu Ge or other suspicious individuals, the monitoring team below will send an alert.”

Mi Xiaolin showed a relaxed expression and said, “Okay, I’ll continue to keep company with Mr. Zhang, the old lecher. You guys should proceed with your plan as scheduled.”

Afterward, she sashayed away.

John muttered under his breath as he watched her retreating figure. What was the point of all that? Did she provide any new instructions? Wasn’t it all part of the original plan? Did she just feel superior by repeating it?

He entered the cabin, focusing on the casino downstairs.

That was what he cared about the most.

Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji exchanged glances for quite a while before Chu Ge said, “If they have cameras, how did they not know I came on board?”

Qiu Wuji explained, “Whenever I sense a surveillance presence, I instinctively block it out. I’ve been doing it since we went to the underground fights. You should learn to do the same. It’s useful for traveling the world with heightened awareness.”

Chu Ge quickly flattered her, “Qiuqiu is the best!”

“Hmm,” Qiu Wuji looked around the current location, which was a self-service music restaurant. The environment was quite pleasant, with a small orchestra playing softly in the corner. Various expensive musical instruments and vinyl records adorned the walls, and there was an air of elegance and music throughout, fitting the theme of a “music park.”

Qiu Wuji was quite satisfied with the situation and whispered, “Based on what we heard just now, it seems they won’t take any immediate action. Should we disrupt things in advance, or should we wait for them to make a move first?”

Chu Ge was a bit hesitant, as he didn’t have this bourgeois disposition. However, the current situation seemed to provide no immediate reason to cause trouble. If they stirred up trouble now, Lin Wuyang would be after him as the troublemaker.

On the other hand, he was genuinely curious about what their plans were and was no longer interested in destroying everything.

“Then… let’s wait?”

“Sure, let’s wait.”

“So, why did we come here?” Chu Ge complained, “Did we really come to enjoy this music park?”

Qiu Wuji smiled, her eyes curving, “What’s wrong with that?”

“I’m not happy about giving them money.”

“Don’t be so stingy,” Qiu Wuji said. “From a business perspective, they provide a service, and we pay for it. It’s a fair transaction. In novels, the protagonist and the antagonist make deals all the time. Then, the antagonist hunts down the protagonist afterward, and the protagonist them and takes their loot.”

Chu Ge was speechless. “You can even relate it to that?”

Qiu Wuji said casually, “I think it’s quite similar.”

Chu Ge thought for a moment and realized that it did indeed seem quite similar. So, he temporarily set aside his intention to cause trouble and approached it as a regular trip to an amusement park.

With this change of perspective, his mood suddenly lightened, and he felt like he was on a romantic outing with a girlfriend. He found the surroundings beautiful and the music pleasant. With a change in mindset, the whole experience felt different.

“Have you always had these kind of thoughts? You’ve been smiling all along,” Chu Ge couldn’t help but ask her.

Qiu Wuji smiled faintly, “I’ve witnessed all sorts of situations for thousands of years. Why should I be nervous when entering a hostile environment? Even in the dragon’s den or the tiger’s lair, one can still appreciate their majesty. What’s more, facing a few individuals with abilities… Your current level of cultivation is sufficient, and you should have the heart of a true strong warrior.”

Chu Ge said, “I think I did pretty well in the book.”

“That’s right, that’s in your own world,” Qiu Wuji said. “You have an overview mentality. But in the real world, your mindset is too low. All you know is to bully me.”

Chu Ge: “…”

“Chu Ge, do you know? When I heard about the time you were furious and fought against the enemy, I was quite happy,” Qiu Wuji turned to look at him with glittering eyes. “Now, you lack a certain aura. Calling yourself the Creator ‘God’ is in vain. Makes it seem like you’re hiding in your own world, basking in your own glory. When you can look down on all mountains and see enemies as nothing more than heads on stakes, then even without the book, you will be a god!”
