Chapter 871: I Exist for You 07

~7 min read 1,290 words

Shenshen should go pick out an outfit too; I don't want to wear new clothes by myself.

Jin Chen pushed him to walk inside, meaningfully and in a low voice, "I'll protect you outside."

Yishen subconsciously wanted to look outside the shop, but Jin Chen reached out and blocked his eyes.

"Don't look, go to the fitting room to try on clothes; you'll be safe there."

Hearing the voice in his ear, Yishen realized something, but his heart gradually began to pound.

Although he didn't know who was outside, he was certain they were coming for him.

"Believe me, go inside."

Jin Chen relaxed, smiled at him, casually picked out a decent-looking garment, and pushed Yishen into the fitting room.

Then he chose an empty corner for himself and snapped his fingers.

"Number One, is anyone there on your end?"

Number Three had searched all around and still hadn't seen the target, already feeling a bit anxious.

After hearing the negative reply, Number Three sighed, "Alright, let's first meet at Central Main Street."

He took off his earpiece, and suddenly a gust of wind came from beside his ear.

In the instinctive moment of dodging, the energy gun at his waist was snatched by Jin Chen.

"Hey partner, your movements are slower than the clumsiest ox."

Jin Chen mocked him without restraint, but he didn't have time to waste on him.

Before Number Three could even speak, the energy bullet had already been fired by Jin Chen.

Struck in the chest, it instantly turned into a skeleton.

Jin Chen let out a huh, looked at the skeleton, then at the gun in his hand.

Is it this person who's the problem, or is this gun just that awesome?

No time to examine closely, Jin Chen grabbed the person and headed to the spot he'd just mentioned.

Number One, Number Two, and Number Four were already waiting there.

Jin Chen pulled a dagger from his space, carved the same death god's scythe symbol on the skull's head, and tossed it at their feet.

Number One was the first to notice, but when he looked over, only Number Three's skeleton was there.

"This!"

The three of them were shocked, immediately drew their guns and stood back-to-back, fearing an ambush.

But there was nothing, only a skeleton lying on the ground.

"Again, the death god's scythe."

Number Two cursed, "Damn it, it's him again."

"Could it be that the target realized something and thus hired such a formidable protector?"

"First retreat, let's go find Xuyuchuan."

Number One kicked the stairs hard, "He definitely still has something hidden from us."

——

Yishen stayed in the fitting room for nearly five minutes; after hearing the shop assistant's soft urging, he came out, but Jin Chen was nowhere to be seen.

"Jin Chen?"

He blankly looked at the other people in the store, none of whom had a familiar face.

Instinctively he clenched his fingers, his heart skipped a beat.

"Shenshen, I'm here."

Jin Chen returned from the corner, just hearing Yishen's call, hurriedly popped out and gave him a bear hug from behind.

"Crisis averted!"

Yishen let out a breath, turned to look at him, "Are you alright?"

"Of course not, I'm quite formidable."

Jin Chen smiled, then praised, "Shenshen looks great in this."

He hadn't noticed earlier, but the coat he'd casually grabbed was actually quite similar in style to what he was wearing.

"More beautiful than the rising morning sun." Jin Chen lavished praise without reservation.

Yishen looked at the two of them standing side by side in the mirror, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously curved upward.

It turned out shopping wasn't a bad experience after all.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value 2, total 22!】

While Yishen was paying, Jin Chen muttered about how expensive it was, while assuring him in his ear.

"I will find a job that can earn money in this world, then earn money for Shenshen."

Yishen turned to look at him, smiling, "What if one day we just return to the book?"

As soon as his words fell, his expression changed rapidly; he lowered his head, regretting, and closed his eyes.

Even though he knows he's a jinx, why does he always lose control when facing Jin Chen?

Even if Yishen knows, letting Jin Chen go back isn't a bad thing.

But it's just his selfish desire not to have him return so quickly.

Jin Chen noticed, quickly patted his shoulder to comfort him, "So what? Even if I accidentally go back, I'll come again."

"I just want to stay together with Shenshen."

Yishen nodded reluctantly; his nervous heart at least eased a little.

After the two bought clothes, heading home they needed to settle lunch.

Yishen hasn't had such a regular life for a long time.

When I usually write manuscripts, I often forget to eat; sometimes I only have one meal a day.

Now Jin Chen just returned home; as soon as the clock hits twelve, he cries hungry, and Yishen can do nothing.

——

Xuyuchuan, are you sure the man beside Yishen is just an ordinary person?

Number One's tone was overbearing and pressing, even questioning.

Since Xuyuchuan reached a cooperation with them, he has never been treated with such an attitude.

As they said before, he is one of the few people on Earth who can establish a link with them.

How did his attitude suddenly change so much?

I'm not sure, but when I saw him that day, there was nothing particularly special about him.

Xuyuchuan felt strange and probed, asking, "So what's going on? What happened today?"

His movements are very strange; not only can he detect us, but today he even counter-killed one of our members.

Just mentioning Number One makes them grit their teeth in anger.

You know they select members with a one-in-ten-thousands ratio, yet one was so easily wiped out.

How could they possibly swallow this anger?

What?!

Xuyuchuan was shocked and horrified; as he stood up, his chair let out a piercing screech, "He can deal with you?!"

Along with the shock came fear.

If that person can protect Yishen, then wanting to later obtain fortune from Yishen would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

If you now want to give up on Yishen and choose another target for the transaction, we can still consider continuing our cooperation.

No, we can't choose someone else; you know that the fortune on Yishen is a hundred times that of others—what a waste to give up!

Xuyuchuan clenched his fists, "He has no evidence now to clear himself of plagiarism; even if that person were more capable, there's nothing we can do."

Number One pondered for a moment, "This is the last chance; you better make sure the target truly has no room to bounce back."

Yes, yes, yes—right, Yishen sent a message to his mother saying he'll come home this afternoon to look for something; do you want to send someone to check? If it's some evidence, we can still strike first.

Xuyuchuan smiled apologetically and made his request.

Number One didn't refuse, "I'll send Number Four and Number Five over; you just be careful."

Okay, okay, I understand.

The special contact was cut off; Xuyuchuan clenched his fists, suppressing his inner panic.

Surely nothing will happen.

All of Yishen's evidence has already been copied by him in advance; he has no chance to turn things around.

After the fortune value is completely plundered, even if that person were even more capable, it would be useless.

At worst, we'll just switch to another person then; no one will ever know any of this is related to him.

Xuyuchuan consoled himself and let out a long sigh.
