Peach-Orange! – Chapter 380 – Bug-Level Cheat

“Still looking?!”

Noticing Chi Xiaocheng turning her head, Huang Limei didn’t hold back. The resentment she had long harbored toward Chi Xiaocheng erupted at this moment. She quickly stepped forward and sneakily grabbed Chi Xiaocheng’s hair.

Huang Limei tried to yank out a handful of hair, but when she pulled, the silky strands slipped effortlessly through her fingers.

It was so smooth it was unbelievable.

Huang Limei instinctively glanced at her own dry, tangled hair.

Her fury and jealousy flared even hotter.

But before she could attack again, King in Chi Xiaocheng’s arms had had enough. Baring her teeth, she leaped at Huang Limei, aiming her sharp fangs straight for Huang Limei’s neck.

Only this royal feline gets to bully my human servant, damn it!

“Meow!!”

“Ah!!!! You stupid cat!”

Huang Limei shrieked in pain and began flailing wildly, trying to fight off King.

But King was tiny and agile. Huang Limei couldn’t land a single hit on the cat, while her own body accumulated scratch after scratch.

Chi Xiaocheng watched coldly but didn’t intervene. Instead, she walked straight into the dilapidated building ahead.

Her hands were in her pockets, and the fruit knife had already been retrieved from her system space.

The interior of the building was damp, the dark concrete floor muddy. The sound of dripping water echoed from all directions. When the wind blew, ghostly howls seemed to whistle through the place.

It was as if this crumbling building was haunted.

At the same time, her Alert skill triggered warnings from all around. After careful assessment, Chi Xiaocheng guessed there were about five or six people hiding inside—though she couldn’t see anyone with her naked eyes.

Helpless, Chi Xiaocheng called out, “I’m here! Whoever you are, let Ningning go!”

“Mmmpf—! Mmm!!”

A familiar, muffled struggle came from the darkness ahead. Chi Xiaocheng’s eyes reddened slightly, her pupils narrowing into eerie, unnatural slits.

But this wasn’t the full power of her “Cat Eyes” skill.

She had always been a little… off. Even her default Darkening state only tripled her base stats.

And right now, her body was in a weakened state. A threefold boost at this level wouldn’t be enough if she had to face Chu Lingfeng’s enhanced bodyguards again.

To put it simply—

She wasn’t in a Su Tao-induced adrenaline rush, so her combat power wasn’t as high as one might expect.

That was why she had been cautious the whole way here.

But she dared to come alone because she had one trump card. Even in her weakened state, she could deal with Chu Lingfeng.

A voice, similar to hers but colder and clearer, whispered in her ear:

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you. What happened last time won’t happen again.”

Along with the voice came a faint scent of roses, cutting through the musty stench of the building.

Her Stand, Xiao Hei!

This was Chi Xiaocheng’s confidence.

As two figures emerged from the darkness ahead, Chi Xiaocheng was stunned.

“Liu Guijia?! Why is it you?!”

The person stepping out of the shadows was none other than Liu Guijia; the very same Liu Guijia who had been sent to prison by Dongfang Yang long ago.

Suddenly, Chi Xiaocheng connected the dots:

Zeng Xiuhua, who had returned to the dorm… Huang Limei, who was outside the door….

And now, Liu Guijia in front of her.

These were the three who had bullied her in the past.

And all of them had been dealt with by Dongfang Yang.

She vaguely remembered Dongfang Yang saying they wouldn’t be out for at least a few years. Yet here they were. Someone must have bailed them out, all to target her!

Was this the hand of the World’s Will?

If Chi Xiaocheng remembered correctly, these cannon-fodder side characters had somehow gained some narrative weight.

The fact that the mastermind wasn’t Chu Lingfeng was unexpected, but right now, she didn’t have time to think about who was behind this.

Liu Guijia stepped forward, dragging someone with her.

Fang Ning’s hands and feet were bound with rough rope, her clothes filthy and disheveled. Aside from the slap mark on her face, her exposed shoulders and limbs showed signs of swelling and redness.

Her cheeks were smeared with dirt.

Tears welled in her eyes, but instead of relief at seeing Chi Xiaocheng, they filled with guilt and despair.

Instantly, Chi Xiaocheng’s anger flared. But the gleaming knife pressed against Fang Ning’s cheek forced her to suppress it.

The knife’s owner, Liu Guijia, smirked at Chi Xiaocheng.

“Chi Xiaocheng, you didn’t expect it to be me, did you? Honestly, I didn’t either!”

Her expression twisted with malice.

“After what you and Su Tao did to me, I was even ready to turn over a new leaf and be a good person! But who knew.…”

She suddenly screamed, “Who knew you still wouldn’t let me go?! Even after your revenge, you sent Dongfang Yang, that simp, to arrest me and lock me up for ten years!

“Ten years!!!”

Liu Guijia burst into laughter.

“After ten years, I wouldn’t even recognize myself anymore! And how many ten-year chunks does a person even have?!”

Her grin turned grotesque.

“And the funniest part?” She yanked Fang Ning’s bangs back with the knife’s blunt edge. “This little bitch, who I discarded, had to go and become your lapdog!

“Isn’t that hilarious?

“Before Dongfang Yang came for us, I got a tip. Out of mercy, I even told Fang Ning to scram so she wouldn’t get dragged to jail with us!

“I thought she’d be grateful to me!

“Instead, she betrayed me!”

Her smile twisted further as she suddenly released Fang Ning’s collar.

Fang Ning fell to her knees, her body curling forward, only for Liu Guijia to grab her hair and force her face up again.

Fang Ning bit her lip, her eyes pleading as she kept glancing toward the door.

But the person she was looking at was Chi Xiaocheng.

And Chi Xiaocheng hadn’t come here just to abandon Fang Ning and run.

Taking a deep breath, Chi Xiaocheng watched as Xiao Hei playfully materialized behind Liu Guijia.

Xiao Hei measured the size of Liu Guijia’s head with one hand, mimed a punch with the other, then tilted her head questioningly at Chi Xiaocheng.

There was no doubt that Xiao Hei was a bug-level existence.

No one could see her.

Yet she could interact with objects and people.

A true invisible assassin.

Seeing Chi Xiaocheng hesitate, Xiao Hei held up a single finger, then pointed at Liu Guijia’s head.

As if to say:

Just one punch.

And this watermelon would go splat.
