Chapter 2635: Chapter 2630: Eight Wicked Women (6)
Great, so another hitchhiker.
The next moment, Nepheli, who appeared in the guise of a mastermind, surprisingly wanted to join in the excitement as well.
It’s a bit abstract, but for Fu Qian, other than the fact that the person is theoretically deceased, everything else seems reasonable.
Also a woman, also an acquaintance, and still retaining Extraordinary Attributes... this matches everything we saw before, doesn’t it?
If Nepheli later says she wants to go to the Sanctuary, Fu Qian wouldn’t be surprised at all.
"So is this your doing?"
But obviously not everyone is taking it in stride. Chief Yuan, who almost got into an accident just now, is already staring at the culprit, questioning immediately.
"Yes."
Nepheli doesn’t feel embarrassed at all and confirms again.
"So the purpose was to make us stop and pick you up?"
It felt like encountering a lunatic, yet Yuan Shan bravely continued.
"Sorry, I didn’t intend to create such danger, mainly wanted to showcase my own value."
Her gaze fell momentarily on the nearly hovering front wheel; Nepheli emphasized there was a small element of accident, and it wasn’t meant to be that thrilling.
Own value...
Unfortunately, her so-called original intent seems to have triggered an even stronger reaction.
"Can it be understood that your actions were to show us you could block our path, that no one could leave if you weren’t allowed on the car?"
Miss Wen, incredibly intelligent, immediately grasped the meaning, opened the car window, and casually said.
"Yes, after all, I can’t just hitch a ride for free."
And having died once does make a difference; Nepheli didn’t even blink, openly admitting that is indeed the value.
...
Indeed, it already shows some of the shamelessness I had back in the day.
Although Fu Qian had guessed some things initially, Nepheli admitting it herself still made him secretly praise her.
If Su Gao’s successful hitchhiking just now relied entirely on personal charisma, Lady Nepheli’s attempt to replicate it was clearly not as straightforward.
Sure, her personal image was alright, but she couldn’t match that unique transcendent charisma.
But everyone has their own way of survival; if the charisma isn’t enough, then use skills.
Nepheli seemingly came up with a reverse thinking approach, finding a different advantage—
No need to offer help, just need the ability to create enough trouble.
And as a form of special power, Miracle exhibited penetration power in many scenarios.
Even in a situation like this, its ability to produce some miraculous effects is not surprising.
Of course, you also need a thick skin to support the whole plan, and in this area, Nepheli also performed outstandingly.
"You decide."
The final effect was clearly quite good; a few simple exchanges later, everyone clearly had a full understanding of the current situation.
And Yuan Shan hesitated initially, then directly passed the authority back to Wen Li.
"So what should we call you?"
Miss Wen didn’t lose face, neither affected emotionally nor overly kind, just calmly confirming the guest’s esteemed name.
Compared to Su Gao, this person in front seemed even more unfamiliar to her.
"You can call me Asao Sakura."
Unfortunately, not only was there a gap in charisma, but she was also far inferior in terms of integrity.
Facing Wen Li’s inquiry, Nepheli reported her name without difficulty, though it seemed she borrowed someone else’s name.
"Got it, so where does Ms. Asao want to go?"
Hard to say how much she believed really, Wen Li slightly nodded, didn’t doubt but continued to ask further.
"Anywhere is fine, as long as I can leave this place."
Nepheli’s answer was not as daring as Su Gao’s, only with the urgency of escaping a cage.
"So it seems you can only cause problems."
Noncommittal, Wen Li’s gaze fell again on the huge chasm.
"That’s right, so please don’t doubt my resolve in causing problems."
Sincerely maintaining, Nepheli emphasized that lacking the ability to escape on her own means she wouldn’t let go of this lifeline.
"Reasonable."
Wen Li slightly nodded, clearly recognizing the logic, and finally extended an invite.
"Please get in, though it might be a bit crowded."
...
Finally, it’s that beautiful plot of seeing injustice on the road and helping casually.
The atmosphere is just a bit odd, until Nepheli thanked and got into the car, no one voiced any opinions.
And although theoretically a senior, Fu Qian wasn’t intending to chit-chat at this moment, merely observing her movements for a while.
Judging by her appearance, Nepheli probably wasn’t interested in discussing technical issues with him either.
And as expected, Nepheli chose to open the door on the other side, sat to Wen Li’s right, distancing herself from the only male.
"What’s the matter?"
Being the most out-of-place character, Nepheli still proactively called out to Fu Qian, curious what he was observing.
"Not overloaded."
Fu Qian felt his own vocal cords, confirmed Wen Li didn’t restrict him from speaking to strangers this time, and casually suggested, "Of all paths, safety is the first."
"Makes sense... It seems you all value this aspect very much."
The angle was somewhat fresh and unique, even Nepheli went silent for a moment.
And when she spoke again, she gestured toward Fu Qian and Wen Li’s linked hands, clearly having noticed this special connection.
"Yes, very much so, so you better not do anything that would make me misunderstand."
The lines were somewhat ambiguous, but Wen Li showed no shyness, not only acknowledging her words but even adding weight to them, reminding not to mess around.
"Of course not."
Squinting for two seconds, Nepheli didn’t continue to pester.
Turning her head forward, she extended one hand, fingers spread, and blew a gentle breath.
The legendary tectonic movements were instantly close at hand; the sides of the bottomless chasm began to slowly converge until there was not a single gap left.
...
The heavenly ravine was instantly settled, and Lady Nepheli undoubtedly proved her earlier words with strength.
And the precision of her control left no doubt that she could do it again anytime.
For a moment, even Chief Yuan just silently started the car, setting forth once more.
"Is that you?"
Normally, one would expect a return to calm at this point, yet the quietest person in the car still managed to catch Nepheli’s attention.
And unlike with Wen Li, staring at Su Gao’s profile, Nepheli seemed to realize something remarkable.
From her confident presence since arriving, her voice dropped a few pitches.
"Just call me Su Gao."
Su Gao glanced at her and replied with identical phrasing.
"...so you already noticed me just now?"
Nepheli slightly nodded, yet couldn’t resist asking.
"No."
Su Gao shook his head.
"If I hadn’t shown myself, how would you have solved it?"
"I’d kill you."
