Chapter 1573: Her Identity Is Not Simple

"It seems Wu Bo told you everything," Chen Yu looked at Xin'er with surprise.

It was clear that Wu Bo truly treated this girl as his own kin.

He had spent his whole life overseas, living under an assumed name, just for fear that his identity would be leaked, yet he did not hide anything from Xin'er.

One must know that he was hidden in an overseas intelligence department, and the work he did was extremely dangerous; if he were the least bit careless, he would likely be doomed, and the implications were so significant that if things went wrong, he would implicate his colleagues.

Yet he told Xin'er his identity, which was enough to show the status Xin'er held in his heart.

"He told me some things about himself," Xin'er said softly, "but I don't know what he specifically does."

"I have asked him too, but he didn't tell me, only saying to me that the less I know, the better it is for me," Xin'er said.

"Wu Bo is right; the less you know, the better it is for you," Chen Yu said, "His line of work is special; if you know too much, it will bring a fatal disaster upon you, do you understand?"

"I understand." Xin'er was startled; she hadn't expected things to be so serious.

"Alright, I'll take you back. Remember, from now on, it's best not to go out after eleven o'clock," Chen Yu said, "Because many things come out under the cover of night."

"I know, thank you." Xin'er nodded.

He sent Xin'er back; she lived in a small attic in Chinatown, with a small embroidery shop below and a bedroom above.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?" After opening the door, Xin'er looked back at Chen Yu.

In the middle of the night, such a beautiful and sweet girl inviting you up to sit for a while—if this were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be able to refuse.

Moreover, looking at Xin'er's expression, it seemed she was still somewhat looking forward to something happening with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was slightly stunned, thinking this was his own illusion; in his impression, Xin'er was not such a casual girl.

"I... I'm just a little scared," Xin'er said, hurriedly changing her words when she saw Chen Yu's hesitant expression.

"I won't go up. It's fine; I will place some things around your home, and nothing will be able to get in and hurt you," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Then... thank you. I'll treat you to a meal another day." Xin'er nodded, turned, and went upstairs.

After she went up, Chen Yu set up a Prohibition Array in the surroundings; as long as any Demon creature broke in, he would sense it immediately.

Furthermore, the array would kill those things on the spot without affecting the people inside the room.

After finishing all of this, Chen Yu then turned and left.

Before leaving, he looked up at the attic and saw a figure standing in front of the window, watching him leave.

Chen Yu was slightly startled; for some reason, he had an illusion that Xin'er behind the window seemed to be smiling...

"Are you done with your business?" Just as he arrived home, Honghou appeared.

Honghou had a facial mask on; it was clear she was very focused, as she wanted to integrate into this world as quickly as possible.

"What business could I have? It was nothing more than meeting a friend, solving some things for her, and then sending her home." Chen Yu was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what she meant.

"That girl, I saw her when I left; she was feeding a cat, right?" Honghou said, "If I'm not mistaken, she should also have a very sweet name."

"The name is indeed sweet; it's Xin'er," Chen Yu said, "Have you seen her?"

"I have. The one feeding the small animals is her; she looks quite kind-hearted," Honghou smiled slightly, "My boss, you have seen countless people and possess super-strong power."

"Any demons or monsters probably cannot hide from your eyes, but what I want to say is that this time, you might have misjudged."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Chen Yu couldn't help but look deeply at Honghou; the current Honghou appeared somewhat unfathomable.

"What I want to say is that this girl, who looks harmless to humans and animals and is incomparably sweet, is not as simple as you imagine," Honghou shook her head and said, "Hidden beneath her sweet exterior is a heart that can eat people."

"Are you saying she is not human?" Chen Yu was shocked; with his strength in the Spirit Rhinoceros Realm, he shouldn't have misjudged.

"I can't be entirely certain, but based on my intuition, I feel she is definitely not that simple," Honghou smiled slightly, "But what she specifically belongs to, I can't say clearly; I just purely feel that she is not as simple as she looks on the surface."

"Is your intuition very accurate?" Chen Yu still didn't believe his judgment was wrong.

"It's not one hundred percent accurate, but at least a woman's sixth sense can't be wrong," Honghou said, "And I have been asleep for hundreds of years; you should know what kind of person I was before, right?"

"I feel that she is the same as me, but the difference is... she is an existence that directly eats people."

"No way, I couldn't have misjudged." Chen Yu was startled and began to feel doubtful about his own judgment.

Indeed, the first time he met Xin'er, he felt that this gentle and sweet girl was nice, the kind of girl who easily stirs a man's desire to protect.

And Chen Yu's realm was already high enough, but no matter how he looked at it, Xin'er was an ordinary person, yet why was it different in Honghou's words?

"You certainly wouldn't misjudge ordinary things, but she is not an ordinary thing," Honghou smiled slightly, "In this world, there is a type of thing whose specialty is disguising itself. Do you understand what I mean now?"

"I understand what you mean, but I don't quite agree," Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Perhaps you are mistaken."

"My intuition won't be wrong, but I can't say what she is," Honghou pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, give me some time, and I will go find evidence to see what she actually is."

"Fine, but you can investigate her, but you must not let her notice," Chen Yu said, "And you cannot do anything that harms her."

"I have already integrated into this society, don't worry; I won't take action against ordinary people. Of course, that is on the premise that she is indeed an ordinary person," Honghou smiled slightly.

Chen Yu nodded; Honghou was also an existence that had lived for hundreds of years, so her words could not be fully trusted, but they could not be completely ignored either.

After sending Xin'er back tonight, Chen Yu did indeed feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what it was specifically.

Perhaps, as Honghou said, she was that kind of existence good at disguising herself, but Chen Yu didn't quite believe that there was anything that could hide so well before his eyes.

He lay down, the night passed without incident, and when he woke up, it was already the next morning.

Chen Yu got up early and wandered around Chinatown; the breakfast in this place was also varied and diverse.
