Chapter 37

Turning into this street from the alley, Fu Yue noticed something was wrong.

Although this street looked identical to the next one, all the shops were closed. While running in panic, Fu Yue even passed through a laser projection with the words "Temporarily Closed."

She immediately realized that this wasn’t where she intended to seek refuge.

Instead, the other side deliberately led her into this street. So now, at both ends of the street, three people are standing, surrounding her.

No, she needs to quickly figure out a way to escape!

According to the layout, ahead, there should be another small road leading to other streets.

Ah, got it!

Fu Yue quickly darted inside, before she could even catch her breath, three trackers appeared in front of her again.

How come! There weren’t so many people just a moment ago!

Watching them approach step by step, Fu Yue had to keep stepping back, almost tripping over herself in the chaos… She hopped in pain, moving backwards. Fu Yue cursed in her mind, "Darn it, where’s Arnold! He’s always around when she doesn’t need him, but disappears at crucial moments."

Helpless, when she returned to the previous street, the situation became even more overwhelming under such pressure.

A total of nine trackers, all glaringly surrounding her this time.

Fu Yue looked at their appearance in a hurry, noticing that these people were dressed very inconsistently. She could see a little bit of the fashion style of the Brown Rat Tribe. Luckily, their animal features were all different. They were obviously not a tribe, but a group of criminals.

But her analysis was useless now, after all, she was not strong in battle. Whoever she met, she had to call them ‘boss’.

Lacking strength, she relied on her sharp tongue.

When Fu Yue stepped forward, she decided to intimidate the others first, "Do you know who I am? I am with Kurds General Arnold!"

"We are looking for you!" one of the men with mouse ears immediately replied arrogantly.

Fu Yue looked around the deserted area and pretended to be calm, "He will be back soon! And not only will he return, he will come back with a military patrol ship! By then, none of you can escape!"

Her words seemed to hit a nerve with the others, causing about half a minute of silence and a subtle awkwardness in the air.

This tactic worked!

Half a minute later, the same man with mouse ears forced out, "They…they won’t come, so prepare to die!"

Just as the person was speaking, their voice started to become less confident for some reason.

"If you let me go, we can part ways here and pretend nothing happened," said Fu Yue hopefully.

"No! We will… ah!" Before the younger ram-horned man could finish his sentence, the tall, muscular half-wolf creature punched him, saying, "We will… take you back to our spaceship and offer you to our leader."

Nervous Fu Yue had no time to ponder why the werewolf was explaining their actions in detail and inexplicably attacking their own companion.

The werewolf made a beckoning gesture with their hand, signaling to stop talking and move forward.

Now, all Fu Yue could do was keep backing away until she reached the closed shop door at the side of the street. She crouched down helplessly, uncontrollably imagining the possibility of being ruthlessly eaten later.

Collapsing to the ground, she threw her shoes across to the other side, saying, "There are some Star Coins inside… You can take them and live well."

Fu Yue struggled one last time, without much hope.

Indeed, none of the seemingly impoverished people even glanced back at the Star Coins that fell from her shoes. They were single-mindedly focused on taking her away.

Fu Yue had to squat on the ground, closing her eyes tightly, praying, "Oh my, Arnold, if you don’t come soon, I’ll lose this adorable Blue Star person who knows how to flatter!"

"Stop it, all of you!"

Arnold’s voice suddenly came from afar.

Fu Yue excitedly opened her eyes, she had never found Arnold’s voice as pleasant as she did now.

Arnold at this moment seemed like a warrior descending from the heavens, charging over all by himself and knocking down a child with just one punch.

Fu Yue’s heart calmed down as he arrived, relieved that they were finally out of danger.

She had great confidence in Arnold.

However, as Fu Yue watched Arnold knock down the third villain, her brows furrowed. She felt a strong sense of unease and deja vu.

Hmm… The first one was punched to the left, the second one was knocked down by a spinning kick. The third one was sent flying by an elbow strike. Each move was so graceful and had an eerie rhythm, and every strike was very slow.

Oh, it’s just slow!

She clearly remembered that when they were kidnapped by the Brown Rat Tribe, Arnold acted so fast that she didn’t even have time to catch it with her eyes. So today, although they were still defeating the enemies, it felt very strange to her.

It wasn’t just Arnold who was strange, the people fighting around him were also very strange.

Even though it sounded strange to her, there were nine of them, but not a single one of them thought of launching a sneak attack on her, taking advantage of the chaos to capture her and complete the mission.

Even now, there were one or two people standing on the outskirts among the nine, as if waiting to join the battle, which was also very mysterious.

And this sense of déjà vu. She felt that in the next moment, Arnold would stand in place. Yes, just like now, and then look over and say… "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, today no one can harm you!"

Fu Yue, "…" Wasn’t this the scene they watched a few days ago in that Republic of China drama where the female lead was saved by the male hero… Fu Yue was dumbfounded.

Can’t believe it!

You’re really excellent!

She didn’t know whether to praise Arnold for his careful arrangement of the costumes and the coordinated moves of her own tricks and the enemies’ fall positions, or to scold him for being so careless, using plot details from just a few days ago that are still within the warranty period.

But she distinctly remembered that there were only five roles for the thugs in this play, so how would her kind boss handle the extra four that appeared?

However, Fu Yue wasn’t concerned about these things now, her mood was calm. In fact, she even hopped on one foot towards the "battlefield".

"Danger, Fu Yue! Don’t come closer!" Arnold continued to dutifully perform.

Rolling her eyes secretly, she wasn’t trying to run over like the female lead inside, intentionally seeking a close-up shot by the director.

Watching Fu Yue hopping on one foot with effort, finally amidst the surrender of the nearby "villains", she picked up her shoe that had just fallen and the Star Coin dropped on the ground.

At that moment, the battlefield started to shift just like in the plot. In the show, this was a good opportunity for the female lead to escape.

So, as Fu Yue was about to put on her shoe in place, she unexpectedly heard a sound of impact in the distance.

Fu Yue looked up, "???" Since when did scenes of a Republic of China-era open-top car flying to knock down the bad guys happen? And knocking down four at once?

Oh! Isn’t this the famous scene from the arrogant CEO drama we talked about before?

What’s going on, mixing things up?!

Thinking about the next scene, Fu Yue forgot to wear her shoes, quickly waving her hands and saying, "Wow, Arnold, you…" Don’t try to copy this!

But when she wanted to speak, it was already too late.

Arnold controlled the hovercar with one hand, reached out of the car with the other hand, and scooped up Fu Yue from outside in one strong move, bringing her into the car smoothly.

"Ouch…" Fu Yue suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, too hurt to even speak. She wondered if it wasn’t for being supplied with nutrients every day, just this one hit from Arnold might have sent her back to Newton to discuss inertia issues.

She never expected to almost lose her life to a drama idol one day.

After the car had driven for a while and finally stopped, Arnold glanced at the pet in his arms, his mouth twitching slightly, and said, "Aren’t you going to thank me?"

Fu Yue, who had just started to recover, heard this and solemnly got up, giving a cool look at Arnold who wanted to be thanked.

And then, using all her strength, she punched him on the left side of his face.

Thank you, my foot!

After hitting Arnold, Fu Yue lifted her head and fearlessly stared at him.

She had made up her mind that no matter how Arnold reacted, she wouldn’t apologize. It was time to show him her limits!

However, to her surprise, after being hit, Arnold leaned his left cheek towards her and even pointed to himself, indicating for her to continue.

Fu Yue: …Fine! Satisfy yourself!

After unleashing a dozen punches in a row, Fu Yue was starting to feel exhausted, and her fist was slightly red. But looking at Arnold, not even his face turned red.

How annoying!

How can someone be so annoying!

"Are you tired?" Arnold asked.

But Fu Yue just panted, too lazy to answer him.

So Arnold picked up Fu Yue’s hand himself and started waving it towards his face.

Fu Yue, "……" What else could she say?

Arnold played for a while, then let go of Fu Yue’s hands and began staring at her intently.

"I won’t say thank you." Fu Yue felt the need to make this clear first.

But at that moment, Arnold thought those things didn’t matter anymore; he had more important questions to ask.

"Why aren’t you making a move to kiss me now?"

Fu Yue felt like she was hearing things, "Huh?" What was this dog talking nonsense about?

Arnold began patiently explaining, "Usually, after being rescued, females tend to develop feelings for males, leading to kissing."

This kind of scene unfolds in most movies.

After making his explanation, Arnold continued to stare at Fu Yue, this time his meaning was very clear.

"Do you still want a kiss?" Fu Yue lowered her head at this point, making it hard for Arnold to see her expression.

"Yes."

After experiencing this series of events all day, she was surprised to hear such a magical conclusion.

Unable to control her anger, Fu Yue immediately lifted her foot, which still had no shoes on, and kicked Arnold’s face, yelling at the top of her lungs, "You must be dreaming!!!"

As she circled her foot on Arnold’s face, Fu Yue bitterly accused him, "Heartless! You wanted me frozen in the morning, scared in the afternoon, and then exploited my remaining value! Are you a villain?!"

Finally realizing his mistake, Arnold took the pet’s foot off his face and held it, still continuously rubbing Fu Yue’s small foot.

Blocking out all the warnings from 1086, Arnold used the only skill he had mastered today, "doubling the dressing fee."

"Even if you add up, I still won’t kiss you." It’s important to have principles.

"Hmm." Right now, keeping the existing relationship is the most important, but he still wanted to try again, "You can call me Arnold in the future, and add another doubling to the dressing fee."

"…Oh."

After numerous open-money transactions, Fu Yue successfully temporarily lost her memory.

On the spaceship back, she subconsciously noticed four patrol ships.

It is said that these people, drawn from the army to take charge of their security work, looked quite tired, in contrast to their usual orderliness.

Watching their leader knock on what seemed like a heavily hit waist before returning to the fleet, Fu Yue sighed.

It appears that these hardworking actors are also facing challenges…
