My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World-Chapter 283 - 257: May You Always Remain Innocent and Joyful [Double Length]

Although they didn't understand what Xu Xiaoyou was saying, the girl's professionalism commanded respect. Wearing a hazmat suit, she entered the cage, touched Chichu Tianyi's neck through rubber gloves, and extracted a large mass of colorful material. The man immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Move him. All of you, too. Staying here will cause me trouble."

Xu Xiaoyou squatted, connecting a high-pressure water gun to a spherical machine containing a pre-mixed hydrogen peroxide solution. The air near the ozone generator shimmered, covering the brownish stains on the wall. With a gentle blast of high-pressure water, the once-stubborn stains faded like washed-out paint.

Mori looked at Xu Xiaoyou with a complicated expression. She increasingly doubted what the girl had done to end up in Chichu Heaven. Why was she so adept at handling such matters?

"Stop daydreaming, Camellia, let's go!" The companion, snapping back to reality, quickly guided the girl away, lifting the unconscious Chichu Tianyi into an alley. Long before establishing this secret base, they had anticipated this day. This alley led directly three kilometers away to Onohara District.

The crowd had just left when Xu Xiaoyou put down the hose, calmly removing the heavy hazmat suit. Recalling her time in Corrupt Nest City, she had taken numerous corpse-cleaning contracts, negotiating with investigators before the guards arrived...

'Ding', her thoughts were interrupted as she heard the sound of the freight elevator arriving.

She pondered whether Evergreen Ivy and Tiger Tail Orchid, two Fifth Tier Cleaners, had delayed the Mountain Crow family for such a short time?

The elevator doors slowly opened, and thugs in suits swarmed out, cursing. A Mountain Crow family member, with a twisted muscular face, approached the blonde girl who seemed to be waiting for them:

"Damn it, where's Chichu Tianyi, and where are those brats?"

"I don't understand what you're saying." Xu Xiaoyou looked up expressionless, her petite figure dwarfed by the giant standing like a mountain, overshadowing her completely.

Using his towering stature, the hulking figure displayed a cruel smile: "Not talking, huh? Fine!"

He swiftly swung his massive hand towards Xu Xiaoyou. From the crowd, Evergreen Ivy and Tiger Tail Orchid's expressions changed, but before they could warn her, the giant's body crashed like a cannonball into the cage, collapsing the entire iron railing!

The Mountain Crow members were all shocked, while the blonde girl merely waved away the dust from her face, calmly walking out of the smoke.

"He struck first. Anyone else want to try?"

"You bastard!"

Some Mountain Crow members placed their hands on their waists, near their guns. Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyou's eyes sharpened as she placed a hand on her black glove, underneath which were three [Fireball Bombardments].

As tensions escalated, an elder's coughing broke the standoff. Xu Xiaoyou noticed the Mountain Crow members respectfully forming two lines. An aura of aged frailty yet unyielding strength emerged, even the two Fifth Tier Cleaners showed respect.

"Mr. Sebastian..." The leader of the Mountain Crow team bowed his head as the elder passed.

"As you can see, there is nothing beneath this Green Leaf Store, no Chichu Tianyi you're looking for. Let's end this here, shall we?"

The elder clenched his fist and coughed, and Xu Xiaoyou keenly observed him wiping the blood from his mouth. This elder named Sebastian seemed familiar; Mori had introduced her to the Dark Night Walker members on the curtain before, where this elder had appeared in a group photo. He was the personal steward accompanying someone since childhood.

Although he appeared feeble and at the end of his days, he commanded such respect from everyone present, including the two Fifth Tier Cleaners. While Xu Xiaoyou pondered, she noticed Sebastian's unwavering gaze, his aged eyes flickering like a faint flame.

"Come over here, I want to talk to you."

In a corner, heated arguments could be heard behind.

"Dead crows, don't overstep. Show some respect to Elder Sai, allowing you to wreck things in my store. Leave now, and I won't pursue you for offending those beautiful ladies."

"Assassin Shuangsha, still thinking you're former glorious Cleaners? Two wretches wanted by the Association, if not for the Mountain Crow family shielding you, this little store would've been flattened by the Association long ago. Now, you're harboring those criminals..."

"I suppose you've met the Young Master." Sebastian got straight to the point.

Xu Xiaoyou was taken aback: "Young Master?"

"Yes, she is the sister of the current family Patriarch Chichu Qiu, Chichu Chun. Undoubtedly, she will assume the next Patriarch's responsibilities, bearing the weight of Chichu Heaven," Sebastian said.

She had mentioned her identity multiple times, but Xu had guessed she might be a lady from the Five Families of Chichu, never expecting her to be the Patriarch's sister.

"The Young Master often mentions you, suggesting you must have given her many delightful, unforgettable experiences. The Young Master, born with a solitary, proud, and innocent nature, constantly speaks of you; you must be very important to her. She trusts you a lot."

"If I may, could I request a favor of you on behalf of the 'Ghost'?"

On the surface, Xu Xiaoyou remained calm, but internally, she was turbulent.

This weary elder was the Prism Tier Cleaner, known as 'Ghost', as designated by the Association?

After hearing what Sebastian had to say, Xu Xiaoyou's demeanor gradually returned to calm.

...

By the lakeside, a girl with dark red hair looked around. Only after seeing Xu Xiaoyou safely appear did she breathe a sigh of relief. Mori ran up to Xu Xiaoyou and tightly held her hand:

"You, are you okay?"

Xu Xiaoyou shook her head: "It's all sorted. The Mountain Crow people have left."

"Wow, You, I'm increasingly curious about you. What did you do to flee here?"

"Colluding with world-level uncanny beings to try to destroy humanity." Xu Xiaoyou smiled and said.

Mori naturally wouldn't believe such words. She often joked with her like this. The two walked hand in hand by the lake. Fallen leaves covered the artificial lake's surface in late autumn. A fresh wind rustled the branches, and the marble floor shone, with children raising windmills running by, their innocent laughter carried away by the wind.

Xu Xiaoyou, held by the girl's hand, felt her warmth even through the gloves. To be honest, she was a bit overwhelmed by such warmth. If interacting with Tang Xin felt mentally delicate, leaving space for mutual secrets, only inviting her into her world solemnly, then the girl before her, as bright as a blooming Camellia, wanted to uncover all her secrets at their first offline meeting. Exchanging her entire world regardless of willingness, carving out a space that hence belonged to the girl.

Passionate, romantic, naive and free, indeed matching her initial personality analysis of 'Camellia' on the curtain.

"You know, You, for a long time I envisioned this scene: meeting you one day, quietly walking by the lake, saying nothing, thinking nothing, just let the wind carry us," Mori turned, her eyes reflecting the shimmering lake, a beautiful pale gold.

"When it all really happens, it feels like a dream."

"Sebastian is the name of the butler in the Nazarick Underground Tomb, right?" Xu Xiaoyou said, "Did you choose it?"

Mori, walking ahead, visibly paused, saying nothing, before Xu Xiaoyou continued, "I just met him. He resolved the Mountain Crow issue."

"What did he say?" Mori's gaze wavered.

"Nothing much, I didn't expect you to be a Young Lady of some household, the Five Families of Chichu? Or a rich man's daughter. That elder named Sebastian seems extraordinary." Xu Xiaoyou smiled.

A weight lifted from Mori's heart, she sighed in relief, turned back with a funny face: "Not telling you, it'd scare you to death."

"Just know I have your back in Chichu Heaven."

"By the way, you came at the right time. Tonight's the Luminous Lantern Festival in Dragonfly Town, with lots of fun and delicious treats."

Xu Xiaoyou smiled silently.

She agreed to Sebastian's request. This innocent little Young Master didn't know what she would face in the future.
