Due to the shortage of personnel from the Court Faction, the Heavenly Bureau of Human Affairs has a special agency—the Execution Office.
The Execution Office does not have fixed staff; it operates more like bounty hunters. The court posts tasks, and capable individuals can take on assignments, charging a commission. There’s even a dedicated app...
Wang Ni is someone who frequently interacts with the Execution Office.
“Just now, Old Xing sent word that there’s a newcomer who needs training. I’ve taken on a task, so your Military Training plan is canceled, and I’ll be in charge personally. Or you can refuse, but I think the only one left with the ability and time to train the newcomer is Jin, who’s beside Old Xing. It’s either me or Jin; you choose.”
Choose for myself? Do I really have a choice? One path leads to death, and the other leads to a more miserable death...
“There are other options... never mind, forget I said anything.” Wang Ni looked at me; her gaze was cold but not lethal—though the sword beside her certainly could be. A real man should endure; I accepted it.
“Smart choice. I haven’t made a move in almost a month. If you dare to disrupt my plans, just wait to be sent back.” Wang Ni's eyes became wild, contrasting sharply with her earlier cold demeanor.
Sent back? There are regulations for shipping—no live animals. This crazy behavior must be Wang Ni's standard form! I thought tearfully. Just escaped from one danger and fell into another; what did I do to deserve this?
“Report to Old Xing at eight tomorrow morning. Don’t prepare anything; do you understand?”
“Understood.”
“Buy an insurance policy; it doesn’t guarantee you’ll come back alive.”
“Beneficiary listed as you?”
“Preferably.”
“…”
As I walked out of the office, I pointed at my boss and cursed. With a loud bang, I fell silent.
I walked back to the classroom, and there were still some people there. A few groups were chatting casually.
Although Ancient Culture is a relatively obscure major, it is still in the humanities, so the gender ratio is fairly normal (I don't even know if this major really exists; anyway, Yin Zheng'an can only study this). As soon as I entered, a girl came over and expressed envy that I didn't have to participate in Military Training.
Envy my foot! By the time you all finish Military Training, I might not even be able to come back...
I scoffed three times and turned to leave. I had already seen Zhang Lei walking over. What do we have to take back? It's just asking for trouble.
Back at the Sports Office, I found Red Boy and took him back to Lin Miaomiao's house. I needed to help him find a place to stay; I couldn't keep relying on Lin Miaomiao.
"Miao Miao, how much does it cost to rent a room here?" Lin Miaomiao was chatting with her tenant at the door.
"Oh, are you looking to rent a place?" Aunt Zhao spoke up before Lin Miaomiao could respond. She must have already known about me giving Uncle Wang the secret recipe for dumpling filling, which made her particularly enthusiastic.
"Yeah, I can't keep troubling Miao Miao." I scratched my head, unsure if I had enough money or if renting could be done on credit.
"You have money to rent?" Lin Miaomiao shot me a sideways glance. "Just stay here; you can pay rent later. The garage is empty anyway, just for a month."
At this price, Lin Miaomiao would definitely be losing out since she would also have to take care of my and Red Boy's meals.
"No, I'm going to be away for a while, and my cousin won't have anyone to look after him." I said awkwardly.
"You're leaving? Where are you going?"
"It's better if you don't ask." I gave Lin Miaomiao a look indicating that it was not something she should know. Honestly, I didn't even know where I was going.
"It's fine; I'll help you out as if you owe me one." Lin Miaomiao covered her mouth and yawned, squinting her eyes as if she hadn't woken up yet. "Just stay in your garage."
"Alright, Trouble, thank you, Hong. Quickly thank your sister."
Red Boy was quite considerate, probably knowing that if he misbehaved, I would leave and he would be left without support. He sweetly said, "Thank you, sister," which made me feel a bit nauseous.
Since Lin Miaomiao agreed to let me defer payment, I wasn't in a hurry. When I have time, I'll go back to the temple and ask Pervert for money!
I went to bed early that night, and Red Boy set up a bed next to mine.
The next morning, I arrived at J University's Sports Office with a confused and bewildered expression. Upon entering, I realized that not only Wang Ni, but also the rarely seen Uncle Xing was already there.
Wang Ni was wearing a modified Special Forces camouflage uniform, with a tool belt around her waist that concealed her figure beneath irregular blocks. She wasn't wearing a hat, but there was a motorcycle helmet beside her.
"Here." Wang Ni threw me a very large backpack, and I almost dropped it in surprise.
"What's so heavy? What did you bring?" I instinctively asked.
Opening the backpack, I found ropes, a tent, dry rations, a Peach Blossom Ebony Sword, a Military Dagger, and several bundles of yellow paper.
The Peach Wood Sword is specifically used to deal with Evil Spirits. Generally, regular Peach Blossom Wood is red; only when the peach trees used to make it reach over a hundred years of age does dark red appear. The black Peach Wood Sword is the highest quality—Thunderstruck Peach Blossom Wood! Of course, there is also the rare Thunderstruck Peach Blossom Wood mentioned in legends.
"You should have your own Red Ink. Take a look and see if there's anything else you need to bring; it will be too late once we leave," Wang Ni returned to her icy beauty persona and said coldly.
"How could I forget food supplies? Uncle Xing, can you give me another lighter, a pack of cigarettes, and some realgar and black powder?"
Black powder is the residue left from failed alchemy. Although it's considered a failure, the black powder from healing potions is quite effective for stopping bleeding.
"No need for the lighter; everything else can be provided," Wang Ni said while waiting for Uncle Xing.
"Alright." Uncle Xing waved his hand, and Jin brought over my belongings.
"You seem quite skilled; you can still think of these things." Uncle Xing patted my shoulder. "You can't die out there. Also, following your Girl is more dangerous than the mission itself, so you need to know your limits. I already know about Red Boy, and I have my own arrangements."
"Uncle Xing, can you tell me what the mission is?"
"I don't know either; after all, the Execution Office isn't under my jurisdiction."
"Okay."
"What are you chattering about? Get in the car!" Wang Ni rode in on a very stylish motorcycle. With a wave of her hand, a black spherical object flew towards me.
I reached out and caught it; it was the helmet that Wang Ni had placed beside her.
"Uncle Xing, I'm leaving. Until we meet again."
"Mm." Uncle Xing waved goodbye to me.
The motorcycle made a beautiful arc as it left the Department of Physical Education, drawing gasps from the students nearby.
"So cool!"
"The bike's just average; it's only worth over a hundred thousand." A Tycoon scoffed.
"Come on, I'm Sister; it's really cool."
"……"
I know that beneath Wang Ni's cold exterior lies a madwoman, but I still underestimated the extent of her madness.
Within two minutes of hitting the road, Wang Ni pushed the bike to a hundred miles per hour, weaving through the morning rush hour traffic. The drivers in their cars raised their middle fingers in protest.
Wang Ni only gave me a helmet; she simply tied her hair back into a ponytail, looking heroic as she rode the speeding motorcycle.
The city isn't very large, and after ten minutes at a hundred miles per hour, there were no tall buildings in sight, replaced instead by neat fields and hardworking farmers.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" I asked.
"Are you ready to go crazy?"
A hundred miles per hour isn't crazy? This isn't a sports car on a highway. However, Wang Ni didn't give me a chance to respond.
I always thought motorcycles were slower than sports cars, until I rode with a woman named Wang Ni. Have you ever seen a motorcycle equipped with nitrous? I have. (Wang Ni's motorcycle suddenly accelerating is actually one of her abilities; it's just a more fitting description.)
"Wahaha! This is so exciting!" Wang Ni shouted on the motorcycle.
Crazy! What’s exciting about this?
