“Nothing in this world is impossible. If something seems impossible, it’s just because you don’t know enough yet. Stay put right here and wait for the people from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs to come and deal with you.”
After saying this to Li Yabo, who was lying on the ground, Yan Qi didn’t hesitate. She raised her foot and kicked him right in the face, knocking him completely unconscious.
“Xiao Qi, are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?”
Having watched Yan Qi finish her brief fight with Li Yabo, Hu Mengqing had been constantly worried about her. She quickly walked over and asked with concern in her voice.
“Don’t worry, class monitor. A useless loser like him couldn’t possibly hurt me. If you don’t believe me, you’re more than welcome to check my body.”
Releasing her Golden Light Spell and returning to her normal state, Yan Qi turned around and said this to Hu Mengqing, then spread her arms wide, as if offering herself for inspection.
Seeing how openly Yan Qi acted, Hu Mengqing felt an instant wave of relief. But just to be safe, she still carefully examined Yan Qi’s body.
“Hey, class monitor, don’t touch me there—it’s really ticklish! Not there either—hahaha!”
Completely ignoring Yan Qi’s protests while checking her body, Hu Mengqing confirmed that she really didn’t have a single scratch. Only then did she fully relax.
“Xiao Qi, just like you said earlier, you really don’t have a single injury.”
Reluctantly withdrawing her hands and feeling the lingering warmth from Yan Qi’s body, Hu Mengqing said this to her.
“Of course not. I am a very powerful supernatural being, after all. But class monitor, if you ever get the chance to check my body again, please don’t go touching all my ticklish spots. It really tickles!”
“So I might get to check your body again sometime?”
“Who knows? Anyway, enough about that. Class monitor, quickly make the promise I asked for earlier.”
“Oh! If I ever get the chance to check your body again, I promise I won’t go touching all your ticklish spots.”
Hearing Yan Qi’s words, Hu Mengqing seriously made that promise.
After making the promise, Hu Mengqing glanced at Li Yabo, who was lying unconscious right in front of Yan Qi. Since the fight had been so short, she had no idea whether he was dead or alive. So, with a bit of worry, she asked Yan Qi.
“Xiao Qi, is Li Yabo still alive?”
“Don’t worry, class monitor. I always control my strength very carefully. Besides, this guy is a supernatural being with a tough body. He won’t die that easily.”
“Really? That’s a relief. But what should we do with him now?”
After learning that Li Yabo was still alive, Hu Mengqing quickly felt at ease. But since she didn’t know how to handle him, she asked Yan Qi again.
Regarding the question Hu Mengqing raised, Yan Qi had already contacted the people from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs through her doppelganger to come handle the situation. So she answered her.
“Class monitor, I’ve already notified the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs. They’ll be here soon to take this guy away.”
“The Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs? Is that appropriate?”
Having never expected something like this to happen tonight, Hu Mengqing’s mind was still trying to catch up. When she heard that Yan Qi had already contacted the Bureau, she said this.
Knowing that her class monitor still hadn’t fully processed what had just happened, Yan Qi said to her.
“What’s inappropriate about it? Class monitor, have you forgotten who I am now and what my job is?”
“Who you are now and what your job is? Aren’t you working as a temporary staff member at the Fangcheng City Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs? Oh! Right! How could I have forgotten about that?”
Hearing Yan Qi’s reminder, Hu Mengqing finally remembered Yan Qi’s current identity and job. She now understood why Yan Qi had said there was nothing inappropriate about it, and she unconsciously muttered this to herself.
Noticing the change in Hu Mengqing’s expression and realizing she understood what she had meant earlier, Yan Qi asked her.
“Class monitor, judging by your face, you get what I meant earlier, right?”
“Yeah, I get it. But Xiao Qi, when will the people from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs get here?”
“They should be here pretty soon.”
Recalling the emergency missions she had been on over the past few days and drawing on the experience and understanding she had gained from them, Yan Qi answered Hu Mengqing.
“Will we be able to go home tonight?”
After learning that the Bureau people would arrive soon, Hu Mengqing then asked Yan Qi a question that was actually very important to her.
“Class monitor, with me here, I’m sure the Bureau people won’t make us go back to give statements or call our families to come pick us up.”
“That’s good. That way, Xiao Qi, you won’t have to worry about getting scolded by Aunt Li for coming home late.”
“Class monitor, did you ask that question because you were worried about me?”
Hearing Hu Mengqing’s words, Yan Qi paused for a moment, then asked her again.
“Yes. The reason I asked that question was mainly because I care about you. At night, there’s usually only me at home anyway, so going back a little later isn’t a big problem.”
Facing Yan Qi’s question, Hu Mengqing felt there was no need to hide something like this, so she told her honestly.
“Thank you for caring about me, class monitor.”
“You’re welcome. It’s the least I could do.”
After expressing her thanks to Hu Mengqing, Yan Qi suddenly thought of something and asked.
“Speaking of which, class monitor, do you know how this guy—’Duck Neck’ (Li Yabo)—got his supernatural powers?”
“I’m not really sure about that. Her and I haven’t seen each other for a very long time.”
Hu Mengqing shook her head as she answered.
“I see. Got it.”
Hearing Hu Mengqing’s answer, Yan Qi glanced at Li Yabo lying on the ground. She thought back to her memories from the past few days and realized that the number of natural supernatural beings—those who gained their powers through magical beast crystals and weren’t created by the men in suits—had increased noticeably.
Remembering very clearly that becoming a supernatural being was actually very dangerous, Yan Qi felt a bit confused. But before she had time to think about it further, the standard siren of a Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs vehicle reached her ears, growing steadily closer.
