Chapter 274 I am the man you can't have!
Shuguang-1 began takeoff.
The trip to Northeast China had just come to an end, but before everyone could even stretch their limbs after landing from the space carrier, they were suddenly hit by a sudden gust of cold dew that seemed to appear out of nowhere, and were forced back onto the spaceship.
"No way?"
Lin Lie dragged his still weak legs, muttering to himself, his face radiating an expression of utter despair.
He had planned to take a hot shower as soon as he got back to the base, then lie down on that hard bed that at least wouldn't be exposed to the wind and sun, and get a good night's sleep.
Before his feet had even warmed the floor, he was sent back.
However, as everyone grumbled and scrambled back into their cabins and found seats, they suddenly realized—
A silver-haired beauty appeared beside Hanlu without her noticing.
The other person was wearing a black silk shirt, a well-tailored dark gray blazer, a pencil skirt that accentuated her perfect curves, and black high heels—a standard secretary's uniform.
However, what truly captivates the eye is that exquisitely beautiful face, almost otherworldly—
Those captivating eyes were slightly upturned, and with a certain fox-like allure, they held a captivating charm.
She stood half a step behind Hanlu, her posture upright and graceful, her long, silvery-white hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, gleaming softly under the cabin lights.
The young Lin Lie was completely captivated by his teammates as they boarded the spaceship one by one.
His steps faltered, his eyes fixed on the silver-haired beauty, his mouth slightly agape, as if frozen in place.
His mind was blank, with only one thought echoing repeatedly—
So beautiful.
Strictly speaking, having been single since birth for eighteen years, he has only ever met the female classmates from school.
But the female students at school were all incredibly fierce; they could even corner the boys in the toilet and beat them up.
As for the cyclone next to him, it was also beautiful, but it was obvious that the age gap between the two was too great, and he didn't dare to have any improper thoughts at all.
But now—
Lin Lie's Adam's apple bobbed, and he stood blankly at the cabin door as if his soul had been taken away, not even hearing his teammates urging him to come in.
Until a strong, hairy hand landed on Lin Lie's shoulder, the force not too light or too heavy, but enough to shake him awake from his dream.
"I'm snapping out of it."
Sun Wukong's voice carried a hint of mischief.
Lin Lie suddenly jolted awake, only then realizing how long he had been staring at the girl.
His face flushed red all the way to his ears, burning hot, and even his neck turned crimson.
He hurriedly lowered his head and walked helplessly into the cabin, almost tripping over the threshold of the cabin door.
"Uh—I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!"
He apologized incoherently, his voice barely audible, his eyes fixed on the ground as if it held some incredible treasure.
Seeing Lin Lie's embarrassed appearance, the silver-haired woman gently covered her lips and let out a melodious laugh like a silver bell.
That smile was charming yet dignified, and the way her eyes sparkled was truly captivating.
This smile made Lin Lie's heart skip a beat. He quickly looked away, staring at the tips of his shoes, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Everyone turned to look at Lin Lie, their eyes carrying their own interpretations.
That said, this woman is indeed quite beautiful.
But for Wan Zhongxia, who was born in the countryside, they preferred robust women with broad shoulders and thick waists.
People with thin arms and legs like that obviously don't have the strength to work.
The five brothers exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.
As for Li Feng—
Just kidding, she's from the special forces, what kind of honey trap hasn't she seen?
I've long since become immune to such temptations.
He merely glanced at the silver-haired woman before continuing to check his equipment.
As for cyclones—she's a woman, so she doesn't really have any feelings about that.
She merely frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the woman and Hanlu, as if trying to figure something out.
As for Amadeus Zhao—considering his future ambiguous relationship with Ares and his fervor for science, women are not a necessity for him.
He even pulled out a small scanner, gesturing up and down at the silver-haired woman while muttering incantations as he analyzed some data.
Amidst the silence, each lost in their own thoughts, Sun Wukong's voice rang out unhurriedly, carrying the confidence characteristic of a seasoned veteran.
"Vixen"
Lin Lie paused for a moment, scratched his head, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Uh, Brother Monkey, although she is indeed very beautiful, do we need to insult her?"
You might not know this, but these days, the term "vixen" isn't usually a very positive nickname...
He felt that what he said made a lot of sense. After all, the girl was beautiful, and he couldn't just call her a vixen.
However, Sun Wukong didn't even glance at him, his tone as indifferent as if he were saying that the weather was nice today.
"It's a vixen."
Lin Lie was at a loss now.
He could only look apologetically at the silver-haired woman, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something to ease the tension, but he didn't know what to say.
However, at that moment, the silver-haired woman gently covered her lips, and with a flicker of her eyes, revealed an extremely charming smile.
Her voice was soft and melodious, like a spring breeze blowing across a lake, with a magnetic quality that made one's bones melt.
"The Great Sage is right." Her eyes curved into two crescent moons. "I am indeed a fox."
Um? ?
Even Shangqi and Cyclone, who had just boarded the spaceship, were stunned for a moment.
Shang Qi's hand stopped on the armrest, Li Feng looked up, and Lin Lie's eyes widened, his mouth forming an "O".
Even Amadeus Zhao, who had been looking down at his equipment, looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes behind his glasses.
The five brothers of Wan Zhongxia turned their heads in unison, eight pairs of eyes (the eldest brother only had one eye open) simultaneously falling on the silver-haired woman, each with a different expression.
"What?" Hanlu put her hands in her pockets, looking nonchalant, and raised her chin slightly. "What, racial prejudice? Aren't you just a fox? What's there to say? I grew up in human society, I'm a hardened human, you know."
He paused, stepped aside, and gestured towards the silver-haired woman with a hint of smugness in his voice.
"From now on, this fox will be my secretary! You all better be careful."
secretary?
For some reason, a sentence suddenly popped into Lin Lie's mind—
When there's work to be done, the secretary does it; when there's nothing to do...
Before he could finish thinking, a foot wearing a combat boot stomped hard on his sole.
"Aww—"
Lin Lie let out a scream and sprang up as if he had been electrocuted. He hopped around on one foot several times, clutching his foot that had been stepped on, wincing in pain.
"Hey! You crazy woman, what are you doing?!"
Cyclone crossed her arms over her chest, staring at him expressionlessly, her eyes as cold as ice shards in winter.
"It's nothing." Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine. "It's just that I hate this lustful bastard."
"I was lustful?!" Han Lu's eyes widened, her voice rising an octave. "Let me tell you, if I were truly lustful, I would have taken advantage of you during the time we lived together! Do you understand?!"
What the hell.
Shang Qi, Li Feng, and Lin Lie (the one who was stepped on) all stopped in their tracks, staring in disbelief at the outrageous words uttered by Han Lu.
No, is this thing... really something they can understand?
Li Feng's lips twitched, and he silently took half a step back.
Shang-Chi's expression froze on his face, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Even the five brothers of Wan Zhongxia exchanged glances, their eyes filled with horror.
They even subtly began to take a step back, a thought simultaneously popping into their minds—
Will they be silenced by their own superiors?
However, the conflict between men and women continues to escalate.
Qi Xuan's brows furrowed even more, his eyes seeming to want to tear Han Lu apart on the spot.
"I'll tell you." Han Lu wasn't flustered at all; he even calmly sat down in the seat next to him. With his legs crossed and an expression that said, "I'm telling the truth," he said, "I'm staying at your place purely for work purposes. I'm responsible for scouting out some outstanding local people."
There's no future for us, so give up. I'm a man you can't have.
After saying that, he reached out and put his arm around the shoulder of the silver-haired woman next to him.
The white fox stiffened slightly, as if goosebumps had formed on its skin, and its body tensed involuntarily for a moment.
But she quickly recovered and gave the cyclone a very apologetic smile.
That smile clearly conveyed the message, "I was forced into this too."
She was certain that this was not a provocation—she was genuinely just under duress.
Cyclone sat opposite him, arms crossed over his chest, without saying a word.
But her eyes were like two poisoned knives, piercing straight into Hanlu.
That murderous look still made all the men present shrink back in fear.
Lin Lie quietly took another half step back.
Shangqi quietly sat down in the spot furthest from the cyclone.
Even Li Feng quietly changed seats and hid behind the burly bodies of the five Wan Zhongxia brothers.
The spaceship finally took off.
The engine roared low, the clouds outside the window swept by, and sunlight streamed through the porthole, casting flowing patterns of light into the cabin.
But for everyone, the mission has only just begun.
Hanlu stood up, walked to the center of the cabin, and the nonchalant look on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by a solemn seriousness.
His gaze swept over everyone present, his voice steady and powerful.
"Let me reiterate the mission once again."
He raised a finger.
"On this business trip, we must first go to the Korean Peninsula to deal with the Heavenly Hammer Messenger who is causing trouble there."
Based on our current information, this enemy, named "Kur the Serpent," comes from Asgardian mythology—he is the brother of the ancient god-king Odin.
Everyone listened quietly, and no one interrupted.
"So for now, let's ignore for a moment the trouble of why there are always so many alien deities who like to treat our Earth as a prison."
Our problem now is this—the great serpent Kur, the god of fear.
His goal was simple: to intimidate the entire world and use humanity's fear of him to increase his own power.
Hanlu's voice echoed in the cabin, each word clear and powerful.
"At its current level, it should have reached the so-called 'Heavenly Father' level. That's roughly the level where it can shatter the Earth."
Lin Lie's eyes widened slightly.
"But that's not enough. Because it involves the issue of Asgard's internal succession. So—"
Hanlu paused, her gaze sharpening further. "We don't deny that the God-King of Asgard, the current Allfather Odin, might destroy Earth to prevent his own brother from becoming too powerful."
"So our current goal is to defeat the eight Heavenly Hammer Messengers, who were granted power by the Great Serpent Kur, one by one, and then challenge the big boss."
He clenched his fist and made a vague gesture in the air.
"Did you hear me clearly?"
"clear!"
Everyone nodded in unison, their voices clear and loud.
Having learned from their previous experience fighting Sun Wukong, everyone felt that they were starting to work together a little.
Moreover, they had defeated the gods of their own mythology—
What's the big deal about beating a foreign god?
Not to mention, the monkey, dressed in a black combat uniform and looking like a pillar of strength, was sitting right next to them!
Hanlu nodded in satisfaction, opened the tablet in her hand, and a photo was displayed on it—
A muscular, fierce-looking man wielded a massive warhammer, his body shrouded in dark red mist.
"Our first target is the Heavenly Hammer Messenger, who is currently causing trouble on the Korean Peninsula. He's a muscular guy from a hero organization in North Korea. His abilities aren't particularly special."
He raised his head, turned his gaze to the silver-haired woman, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Now, let's have our Miss White Fox tell us about her time working in South Korea."
The white fox stood up, her long, silvery-white hair shimmering softly under the light.
Her gaze swept across everyone's faces, and her foxy eyes now held something indescribable—
There are memories, emotions, and a faint chill.
She spoke softly, her voice still melodious and pleasant, yet carrying a chilling calmness.
"That's a... very interesting place."
The atmosphere inside the cabin instantly became heavy.
