22: Chapter 22 Reserves

"What the hell?"

Ling Yichen muttered, then turned to glance at W on the sofa. At the sight, he was stunned.

He saw that W, who had been sitting on the sofa, was now lying down in a suggestive pose. Her long golden hair was disheveled, and the collar of her top was deliberately unbuttoned halfway, revealing her snow-white shoulders and a glimpse of what lay beneath. At first glance, it looked as if they had just been doing something indescribable on the sofa.

"You..."

Ling Yichen was speechless; he finally understood why Ye Qingzhu had reacted that way.

Anyone who saw W like this would inevitably misunderstand.

This girl was deliberately trying to make Ye Qingzhu misunderstand.

Seeing Ling Yichen's speechless expression, W immediately wore a smug look on her pretty face.

"Hmph, that's for playing me earlier!"

During the [Self-Introduction] session earlier, she had been caught off guard, so she was now taking a small revenge on Ling Yichen.

She knew Ling Yichen held some unusual feelings for Ye Qingzhu, so she intentionally made Ye Qingzhu misunderstand to make Ling Yichen suffer!

After discerning her intentions, Ling Yichen said indifferently, "Boring!"

Then, he closed the door and walked straight toward W!

Seeing Ling Yichen approach, W still did not get up from the sofa. Instead, she made her pose even more suggestive and looked at Ling Yichen with a provocative gaze!

Seeing this, Ling Yichen raised an eyebrow. He walked to the sofa in a few strides, then stepped onto it, looming over her in an imposing posture.

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

Hearing this, W smiled on her beautiful face, a flash of slyness in her eyes, and said softly, "So what if I am?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yichen suddenly lunged at her!

Yes, that's right, he threw himself onto her like a fierce tiger, pinning W beneath him!

In an instant, the distance between the two became almost zero!

Ling Yichen's nose touched hers, and she could clearly feel his breath and the masculine scent radiating from him.

Despite how wild she acted, in reality, she had never had such intimate contact with any male.

This caused a flash of surprise and panic in her eyes, which Ling Yichen happened to catch, and he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased:

"Tch, kid, you think I'd be afraid of you? At least I've been hugged and kissed by Ye Qingzhu many times!"

Ling Yichen stared straight at her and said in a deep voice, "How about I grant your wish?"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to lift his leg, pinning half of her body and making an aggressive posture!

This time, W truly panicked; she could no longer hold back the panic in her eyes, and her face instantly turned red.

"I... I was joking! Just joking~"

She forced a fake smile, trying to ease the intimacy and awkwardness of the moment.

Ling Yichen didn't get up immediately upon hearing this. He stared straight at her while a red glow flashed on his hand, where a Spirit Worm was quietly wriggling.

Taking advantage of this intimate proximity, he placed the Spirit Worm onto W.

This time, the shield on her body did not appear, and the Spirit Worm quickly hid itself.

Of course, it did not parasitize her!

Because Yichen knew that if he completed the parasitism now, the shield on W would definitely activate.

Since they were the only two in the room, if the shield were triggered, he would become the suspect.

He wasn't that stupid; even if he were to parasitize her, he would wait until he wasn't present!

He did all this solely to place the Spirit Worm on W.

Now that his goal was achieved, he immediately moved away from W and straightened his clothes.

W also quickly sat up and turned to the side to fix her clothes.

After finishing, she immediately said, "I'm going back first, see you later!"

After saying that, she ran away as if fleeing.

Watching her leave, Ling Yichen sat back on the sofa, a smile curling on his lips.

At the same time, at Ye Qingzhu's home, Ye Qingzhu was lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Could it be that they already like each other?"

"That can't be, they seem to have just met; how could they be together so quickly!"

"Then again, what if it was love at first sight?"

"Ahhh!!!"

Ye Qingzhu covered her head with a pillow in frustration, emitting a soft shriek.

All her actions were seen by the White Cat crouching in the corner, and naturally, were seen clearly by Ling Yichen.

"Heh, silly thing!"

Ling Yichen scolded with a light smile.

At the same time, W was lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling just like Ye Qingzhu, with the scene on the sofa replaying in her mind, her cheeks flushing slightly again.

She was at the age of blossoming romance and easily developed curiosity and affection for the opposite sex.

And Ling Yichen was clearly an outstanding male in every respect, so naturally, he was very attractive to her.

Even though she knew Ling Yichen had a different kind of interest in Ye Qingzhu, she didn't care. They weren't truly together yet, and from Ye Qingzhu's state, it seemed she didn't know Ling Yichen had feelings for her.

So she still had a chance!

"It seems I need to be more proactive!"

"Yeah, be proactive, come on!"

As if having made a decision, W secretly clenched her fist.

Of course, everything happening at W's home was clearly seen by Ling Yichen through the vision of the Spirit Worm.

He couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

He hadn't expected that just because of one of his actions, W would develop feelings for him.

To be honest, he was feeling a little bit secretly pleased.

Everyone wants to be liked, especially by a beautiful girl like W.

However, her identity was questionable, which made Ling Yichen slightly vigilant.

"26-Character Army? What kind of organization is that?"

Ling Yichen had never heard of such an organization.

Immediately, he multi-tasked, placing a portion of his consciousness onto Chu Qi in the lobby of the Extraordinary Association.

Leveraging Chu Qi's status as a staff member of the Supernatural Management Association, he searched the internal network for information on the [26-Character Army].

Soon, he had a lead.

The internal network of the Extraordinary Association actually had intelligence regarding the 26-Character Army.

The intelligence showed: The 26-Character Army was an organization exclusive to the Lord of Sky City, consisting of only 26 people, each with at least A-rank strength. Moreover, their identities were very secret; no one knew exactly who they were, only that they were members codenamed by the 26 letters.

Above A-rank strength?

W's strength was definitely not that high, so she shouldn't be a member of the 26-Character Army.

What exactly was this person's background?

Ling Yichen thought to himself, immediately looking up W's profile.

The data showed: Da Bunu, 17 years old, superpower is wing-type flight ability, talent level rated F.

Note: There is a mark resembling a W on the wings, suspected to be a reserve member of the 26-Character Army.

After reading W's profile, Ling Yichen fell into deep thought.

"So, she wasn't actually lying; she really is a member of the 26-Character Army, just a reserve?"
