Chapter 206 - 204: Then How Do You Plan to Comfort Me?

Bai Zhi smiled. She knew it—anything from the system was bound to be extraordinary. She hadn’t expected something that looked so small to be so effective.

Bai Zhi asked with a smile, "Do you two want to play? I’ll give you a few tomorrow so you can try them out."

Yue Junxiao and Yan Yichen’s eyes lit up, and they asked in pleasant surprise, "Can we?"

Bai Zhi said without hesitation, "Of course. All five of you can have one each."

Yue Junxiao was instantly fired up, but then he seemed to remember something. "But Hades’s house just got blown up," he said. "He’ll have to find a new place to stay. One place gets bombed after another... I bet his mind is about to explode, hahaha..."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Just imagine: your house gets blown up, you move to a new one, and then that one gets blown up too. Anyone in that situation would be absolutely furious.

Although this method couldn’t physically harm him, it was systematically destroying Hades’s psyche, one attack at a time.

Hades had already hired a ton of people for protection out of fear that Sang Mo would come to kill him. Now, for the amusement of Yue Junxiao and the others, the plan was to bomb him once a day. This put an immense strain on a person’s psychological endurance.

Because he never knew where or when it would happen, it could happen at any time.

People tend to break down after being in a state of high alert for too long, especially when their very life was at stake.

Eventually, the Beastmen Hades hired would probably get fed up and leave one by one.

When that time came, Hades would be all alone. Taking care of him then would be a piece of cake.

After Bai Zhi muttered her thoughts to the group, the way they looked at her changed. This was especially true for Sang Mo, who actually had a faint smile on his face, the corners of his lips turning up slightly.

Yue Junxiao and Yan Yichen, who were already her mindless cheerleaders and thought everything she did was right, now had eyes filled with even more adoration.

Just as Bai Zhi and the others had predicted, Hades moved to another one of his residences that very day. He even went to the trouble of putting on a disguise to avoid being discovered.

However, he was still caught by the invisible cameras Bai Zhi had acquired from her system beforehand. The group deliberately waited until Hades and his men had spent a sleepless, nerve-wracking night before sending out the small planes.

This time, Hades had even gone so far as to place state-of-the-art weapons in every corner.

Yet, as the first rays of morning sun bathed the land, the group, full of vigor, piloted the small planes. The aircraft only became visible after they had already dropped their bombs.

BANG BANG BANG—

Everyone had been on guard all night and was just trying to rally their spirits when bombs suddenly appeared overhead, throwing them all into a panic.

"AHHH—"

"That thing is back!! We can’t detect it at all!!"

"Help—"

BANG BANG—

BOOM—

They didn’t even have time to do anything. They had barely run a short distance before the bombs detonated in the new villa.

Hades had just fallen asleep when he was suddenly startled awake.

Diller immediately threw the man over his shoulder, barely managing to escape the room a second before the explosion.

Even so, both of them were covered in ash. Hades even coughed up a mouthful of dust. Watching their grimy, defeated appearance on the other end of the video feed, Bai Zhi and the others couldn’t stop laughing.

Bai Zhi leaned closer to Sang Mo, looking up at him with a smug grin. "Feeling a little happier? In a better mood? Don’t you think this kind of revenge is more satisfying than just killing him outright?"

Sang Mo lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling upon Bai Zhi’s fair little face. His Adam’s apple bobbed.

Bai Zhi waited for a moment, but Sang Mo didn’t say a word. She blinked in confusion and poked him with her finger. "What’s wrong? Why aren’t you talking?"

After a long moment, he finally squeezed a sound from his throat. "It’s nothing."

Bai Zhi looked at him, puzzled. Something she couldn’t comprehend seemed to be flickering in the depths of Sang Mo’s dark eyes. But before she could figure out what it was, her vision suddenly went black. A pair of large hands, slightly cooler than normal, had covered her eyes.

The coolness made Bai Zhi’s eyelashes flutter, brushing against Sang Mo’s palm like tiny bristles. He seemed to realize it immediately, and the hands covering her eyes gradually warmed until they were the same as a normal body temperature.

Bai Zhi noticed the change in Sang Mo’s body temperature, and her smile deepened. ’Even though Sang Mo hasn’t said anything, I can tell he must be in a good mood.’

’He can even regulate his own body temperature now without me having to say anything. Isn’t that a form of progress?!’

Just then, Yue Junxiao shouted in their direction, "What are you two doing over there? Hu Yan made a ton of delicious food! Hurry up and come over, or I’m going to eat it all!"

The moment Yue Junxiao’s voice rang out, Sang Mo inexplicably pulled his hands back. Bai Zhi blinked to adjust to the light and called back, "Coming!"

The two of them walked over, one after the other, without deliberately putting any distance between them.

Bai Zhi didn’t ask Sang Mo about it later. ’Even if he didn’t say it, I already know the answer.’

Remembering the scene he’d just witnessed, Yue Junxiao thought Sang Mo was bullying Bai Zhi. He frowned and started running his mouth, "What were you two doing over there? Sang Mo, you better not be bullying our Matriarch! Or else I’ll... I’ll beat..."

Before Yue Junxiao could finish, Sang Mo shot him a look, narrowing his dark eyes. "Or else you’ll what?"

Remembering the cruel treatment Sang Mo had dished out to him in the Illusion Realm, Yue Junxiao’s expression instantly changed. He quickly altered his threat. "Or else... I’ll have Hu Yan beat you up!"

Sang Mo sneered. "Pathetic."

Hearing this, Yue Junxiao’s eyes widened and his fists clenched. But then he remembered how his butt had been sore for days last time, and he immediately turned, grabbed Bai Zhi’s arm with a pitiful look, and tattled, "Matriarch, Sang Mo is bullying me."

Bai Zhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at their recurring drama. She pulled him away, saying, "Sang Mo is just encouraging you to improve! We’ll start your advanced training when we get back! I guarantee you’ll reach SSS-level!"

At this, Yue Junxiao immediately perked up, looking determined to become even stronger than Sang Mo and beat him to a pulp.

Yue Junxiao said, full of confidence, "That makes sense! When I get back, I’ll put in the hours and get to SSS-level as soon as possible! Next time, I’m definitely going to wipe the floor with Sang Mo!!"

Bai Zhi gave him an affirmative nod and offered a few more words of encouragement. Yue Junxiao immediately forgot all about what had just happened.

After placating Yue Junxiao, she went to find Sang Mo.

Seeing Bai Zhi return, Sang Mo let out a soft snort. "Finished comforting him?"

Bai Zhi giggled. "Well, I’m here to comfort you now, aren’t I?"

Hearing this, Sang Mo raised an eyebrow, his interest genuinely piqued. "Oh? And how do you plan on comforting me? I’m not as easy to fool as Yue Junxiao. A few words aren’t going to be enough to placate me."
