Strange Cards

Chapter 318 A Daring Heart

Daylight broke quickly. Shi Yu felt the cold temperature outside the blankets and decided to get up, wash, and get dressed.

Bai Yu got up the moment after Shi Yu did. Bai Yu was so sleepy that she didn't even open her eyes. She walked into the washroom in a daze and started washing up.

Shigure looked at the catgirl with messy hair and sleepy eyes who hadn't even opened them, and smiled as she dressed.

"We're still not fully awake, so let's go back to bed and sleep a little longer with Miaomiao."

"I'm going to the market now to see if they have any fresh seafood or anything."

"You guys go to sleep, I'll bring you breakfast back."

"If you get up and I'm not back yet, you can go to Sister Liu An's place to mooch off her."

"My sister is always happy to have someone come over for dinner."

Bai Yu shook her head, and the cat ears on her head swayed back and forth.

Bai Yu took a handful of cold water, washed her face with it, and then patted her slightly chubby cheeks, forcibly turning her brain back on.

Shi Yu watched as Bai Yu forced the machine to turn on. After wiping the water off Bai Yu's face, Shi Yu applied face cream to Bai Yu's entire face, and even did not spare her soft, boneless little hands.

Shiyu was wearing a gray coat and had tied a gray scarf around her neck.

Bai Yu was wearing a white coat, but unlike Bai Yu, she wore a red scarf around her neck.

Just as the two were getting ready to leave, they discovered that Shi Yanlan had also gotten up, though the little girl was clearly much more sleepy.

Despite Shi Yu's repeated attempts to dissuade her, she couldn't stop the little girl from wanting to go out with them. She even refused the offer to send Shi Yanlan to Liu An's house to sleep with Liu Yu.

Seeing the little girl all dressed up, Shiyu had no choice but to take her out with her.

……

Shiyu and Baiyu were picking out vegetables for lunch at the market in the morning. Considering that everyone was eating together, they bought an extra large amount of vegetables.

After all, there is no shortage of good-for-nothings among hunters. Apart from Liu An, almost every hunter in the south is a good-for-nothing.

Shiyu was carrying some seafood in her left hand, while holding Baiyu's hand in her right.

Bai Yu wore a fluffy white hat on her head, and held a roasted sweet potato in her free hand, eating it while warming her hand.

Steel Claw returned shortly after the two went to the market and volunteered to carry the vegetables.

Steel Claw's hands were carrying two large bags full of vegetables, and even a bucket of oil.

At that moment, Shi Yu and her two companions bumped into Liu An, who was buying groceries at the market that morning, while Liu Yu was eating candied hawthorns next to her.

Liu An looked at Shi Yu and the other two, carrying the fresh vegetables he had just bought.

"Why are you guys out grocery shopping with Steel Claw?"

"Where's Miaomiao?"

Shi Yu pointed to the bulge on her chest, then pulled her scarf and coat open a little, revealing Shi Yanlan, who was sleeping soundly inside.

"This little girl was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, but she still insisted on coming out with us."

"I got sleepy right after breakfast and was getting ready to buy groceries, so I crawled into my coat and fell asleep."

"Luckily, my coat has a waist belt, so I don't have to hold this girl up with my hands or she'll suddenly fall off while she's sleeping."

Looking at Shi Yanlan, whose face was flushed from sleeping, Liu An smiled and poked Shi Yanlan's still chubby cheeks.

"That's great."

"That's how it is with raising kids; it's a bit of a hassle, but the cuteness this little guy brings outweighs all that."

"And this also proves that Miaomiao likes you a lot and depends on you, doesn't it?"

Shi Yu gave a wry smile and pointed to the steel claw behind him, which was carrying a lot of things.

"This girl is lazy; she used to sit on Steel Claw's shoulders."

"If it weren't for Steel Claw's suit being stretched taut by his muscles, she probably would have snuggled up to him and fallen asleep."

"I'm also glad that this little girl isn't heavy, so it's just right for her to sleep here."

Liu An smiled and loosened Shi Yu's scarf a little, revealing more breathing area, before slightly pulling open Shi Yu's coat.

"Alright, now this girl won't have any breathing problems."

"Have you finished buying your groceries?"

Shi Yu picked up the bag full of seafood in her left hand and pointed to the two large bags of vegetables in Steel Claw's hands behind her.

"That's enough, at least everyone has bought their groceries for today."

"I'll get up and buy food tomorrow. Anyway, I haven't had much work lately, and I don't have to go to school, so life is pretty leisurely."

"I'll make some fried food for these kids when I get back. It's been so long since they've had fried cakes and sugar triangles."

"You're from the South..."

"OK."

"Go back and have the boss make it for you. He's from Northeast China, and he's the most knowledgeable about frying things."

Shi Yu nodded, and then the group returned to the courtyard.

Meanwhile, the courtyard where the hunters lived was surrounded by a huge glass sunroom, where the temperature was always a constant 20 degrees Celsius.

With the hunter's technology, all the difficult problems were solved. When Shigure and his group returned, they found everyone sitting in the yard, either playing with the cat or eating.

After returning home, Shi Yu brought out her favorite recliner, took the sleeping koala from her arms, and used her coat as a cushion on the recliner. Then Bai Yu took off her coat and covered Shi Yanlan with it.

Steel Claw also brought out a large iron pot, and then began chopping firewood with its sharp claws.

While busy with her work, Shigure casually asked Steel Claw.

"Steel Claw, have you made any progress on the investigation I asked you to do?"

Steel Claw paused for a moment after hearing this, then continued chopping firewood.

"The general target has been identified, but we are still looking for the mastermind behind it all."

"So I came back and took over the jobs of two more shadows, so now there are six shadows over there."

"Have you determined the general location of your target?"

"The Western European Union, the royal family of the British Empire."

Shiyu paused for a moment in her hand, which was wrapping fried cakes, and then murmured something to herself.

"How dare you!"

"You really think that just because I killed one of their princesses, I won't dare to continue killing them, huh?"

Shi Yu clapped the flour off her hands as she spoke, then looked at Qi Wudao, who was wrapping sugar triangles.

"Boss, take your time wrapping."

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll fry some more stuff when I get back."

Qi Wu paused for a moment, then wrapped up a plate of sugar triangles and pushed them into the portable quick-freezing refrigerator next to him.

"Alright, go and come back quickly."

"I'll fry some skewers for Yu Ya first; she's drooling with envy."

"Please do as you please, don't worry about me."

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back in about an hour."

Shi Yu said she went home and changed into her combat uniform, while Qi Wu realized something was wrong when he saw Shi Yu wearing both combat uniform and a black cloak.

"Something's not right, at least 20% wrong."

"Why is this kid wearing combat gear when he goes out on business?"

"Someone's messed with him again?"

Qi Wu thought to himself, but had no intention of intervening.

Because he knew that once Shiyu was determined to kill someone, no one could stop her, not even Liu An, Shiyu's older sister, could persuade her otherwise.

What Qi Wu didn't know was that Shi Yu was planning to kill Liu An this time, and even Liu An couldn't dissuade her.

After making preparations, Shigure summoned the Remnant Flame Evolution Device, immediately launching the Death Star Overload of the Remnant Flame IV.

As everyone watched the Remnant Fire Mech instantly enter enhanced combat mode, they finally realized something was wrong. Just as Liu An was about to say something, Shi Yu activated the mech and flew away.

As Shi Yu flew along, Liu An's call suddenly appeared on the mecha's screen.

"What are you doing, you little brat? The fried food you wanted is almost in the pot, aren't you coming back yet?"

"I'm going out to take care of some errands, sis. I'll be right back."

"Tell your sister the truth, are you going out on an errand or to commit murder?"

"..."

"kill."

Shi Yu had no intention of hiding anything, but Liu An didn't say anything more after hearing Shi Yu's answer, but instead said softly.

"Do I have a grudge against you?"

"Are they planning to harm my closest relatives, or even kill them?"

"And they almost succeeded."

Liu An nodded.

Come back soon and be careful.

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Liu An muttered to himself.

"They dared to lay a hand on Miaomiao and Xiaobaiyu; they're really asking for trouble."

What Liu An didn't know was that the closest relative Shi Yu was referring to was himself.
