Chapter 54: Plan

"I'm back, You Li." Jiang Xia stood in front of Ma Sheng You Li, showing a faint smile.

Ma Sheng You Li stared blankly at Jiang Xia, who had helped her up, a sour feeling welled in her chest, she opened her mouth wanting to say something but couldn't shout.

In Ma Sheng You Li's eyes, he seemed unchanged, still wearing the clothes they had bought together,

a black short-sleeve shirt, pants that slightly revealed his ankles, that ever-present smile gave her the illusion of time flowing backward.

Suddenly, her legs went weak, as if all the bones in her body had been pulled out, and she collapsed forward.

Jiang Xia instinctively reached out with both hands, drawing her body into his embrace, watching her already closed eyes,

Jiang Xia's heart seemed to miss a beat, then he immediately began checking Ma Sheng You Li's body.

"This..." Hong Yin Ye and Ci Lang simultaneously looked toward Jiang Xia.

After they left, Hong Yin Ye and Ci Lang were displeased.

"The biggest problem now is how to weaken him, or what method can greatly drain Rook's stamina."

He placed Ma Sheng You Li in the room where he had stayed yesterday, then quietly left and went downstairs.

"Hmm, not bad." Jiang Xia nodded.

"By using Ixa to drain Rook's stamina, then Hong Yin Ye transforms into Ixa and together with you few monsters we'll deal with him,

Jiang Xia said as he stood up from the sofa.

And while Jiang Xia and the others began discussing, the unconscious Ma Sheng You Li slowly opened her eyes, sat up, and looked around somewhat dazedly.

"During the time you were away, I've grown quite a bit." Ma Sheng You Li brusquely shoved Jiang Xia to one side of the sofa,

"You Li, you're awake!" ×2

"Hmm, I'm fine, I want to join your operation to subdue Rook as well, and the suggestion I just made should be good, right."

"If we do that, then the transformation order should be adjusted: first is Hong Yin Ye, then me."

"It's fine, just overly excited and temporarily unable to adapt. Let's leave this place first; You Li needs proper rest."

On the first floor, Jiang Xia sat on the sofa, with a square wooden table placed in front of him,

"Is this Hong Yin Ye's home?" Ma Sheng You Li pondered a moment and came to an answer.

She merely fainted from overwhelming joy and sorrow, with no other injuries on her body.

"Alright, the issue now isn't that; no one using Ixa can defeat Rook head-on, we need to weaken him."

Ma Sheng You Li slightly raised her pure white chin and said to Jiang Xia.

Suddenly a discussion's sound drifted into her ears, the content making her unconsciously walk forward.

"The Ixa system has limits, side effects too great, an ordinary person's body cannot undergo two consecutive transformations,

Jiang Xia carried the fainted Ma Sheng You Li and returned to Hong Yin Ye's home together with Ci Lang.

Ma Sheng You Li looked at Jiang Xia, that familiar feeling of cooperating with him, devising plans, spotting weaknesses, then she taking the front line, returned.

Her movements upon waking couldn't escape Jiang Xia, who possessed superhuman senses.

And Hong Yin Ye and Ci Lang each sat on a small stool, honestly the wooden table twice.

After Jiang Xia checked and found nothing wrong, he then let out a sigh of relief,

Watching her enemy die before her, the regret in her heart would likely vanish as well.

"That's also better than your low-class Ixa gear." Ci Lang roared ferociously at Hong Yin Ye.

Although the plan is good, I always feel as if something is missing in my heart, even though the three of us used to be good friends.

"Regarding the Ixa gear issue, I suggest we take turns, trying to consume as much of the tank's power as possible,

"What! I used Ixa to beat you into retreat; if I'm low-class, then what are you?"

And Ma Sheng You Li also left Hong Yin Ye's home together with Jiang Xia; yesterday was an accident, today of course she returned to her own home to stay.

Downstairs, Jiang Xia's voice was directly transmitted into Ma Sheng You Li's mind.

"I and You Li will assist from the side; if Ixa's time is up, then I'll take over." Jiang Xia concluded.

Her memory remained fixed on Jiang Xia reaching out his hand to her and the enemy Rook who killed her mother, after which it seemed she entered a dreamless sleep.

"That's all we can do."

Hong Yin Ye and Ci Lang beside her saw Ma Sheng You Li faint and were instantly startled.

Too far to help in time, they could only watch her collapse helplessly into Jiang Xia's arms.

Ma Sheng You Li hurriedly called out downstairs.

"If not released in time, once the burden becomes too heavy, transforming would very likely cause severe injury,

even Ci Lang, as a Werewolf Clan member, would expend great stamina and become weak."

"I never expected that the little dog all along would actually apologize." Looking at Ci Lang's expression, Hong Yin Ye said.

"So according to the plan, Ci Lang transforms first, then Hong Yin Ye, then me; because the Ixa system's burden is too great, we must definitely disengage before reaching its limit."

Upon hearing Jiang Xia's suggestion, Hong Yin Ye and Ci Lang both nodded simultaneously.

"How is You Li?"

"This way we can weaken him while maximizing our combat capability." Jiang Xia tapped the table.

"You'd be better off handing Ixa to Jiang Xia, at least then you wouldn't get smashed to pieces as soon as you enter the field." Ci Lang looked at the silent Jiang Xia beside him and said.

However, she didn't notice at all that Hong Yin Ye and Ci Lang beside her were now staring at Jiang Xia with vicious intent, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

Jiang Xia paid no attention to Ma Sheng You Li's movements, turned his head to them and continued speaking.

Jiang Xia looked at the Ixa placed on the table and said.

A thought suddenly flashed through Ma Sheng You Li's mind.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Xia felt a question rise in his heart; weren't we discussing tactics? How come we're talking and then there's no sound.

After all, we've already discovered it; let her participate as much as possible, so she can personally see the chance to avenge her mother.

"Since we cannot enhance our own combat ability, we can only consider weakening the enemy."

Ci Lang looked at Jiang Xia and said slowly: "I admit, I was overconfident before, thinking that together we could defeat a war chariot, but now it seems our preparations are still insufficient."

"Wait until your bodies recover; you're all injured today, even monsters need time to rest and adjust their condition."

Hearing Ma Sheng You Li's voice, Jiang Xia chuckled inwardly, if he remembered correctly,

This plan was originally her proposal; now he is merely guiding the other party to think that way.

She had been here before, although at the time she had only briefly toured.

Jiang Xia spoke up voluntarily: "This time it's my mistake; I didn't expect You Li to suddenly appear there."

"What are the side effects of the Ixa System, and if they are not timely removed, what exactly will those side effects be?"

"It's fine, the plan is great; when do we move out?" Hong Yin also asked.

"Exactly, as long as we let Rook maintain the Ixa System's transformed state and then drain his stamina, isn't that just weakening him?"

Now he simply ignores people.

"I have to admit, some people just need to hand in their paper and they already get full marks." Hong Yin also sighed.
