Chun-Li, having suppressed her murderous intent, instantly transformed her demeanor. Her eyes curved into crescents, and her bearing became intellectual, like a dignified and graceful peony.
This gentle and graceful temperament unique to this Eastern beauty made Li Pu feel very close to her.
And look at this guy who's using himself as a human shield...
However, compared to Tifa, Chun-Li's gentle gaze lingered more on him.
Unfortunately, this good fortune didn't last long.
After the group of thugs left the "traffic light intersection," they scattered in a disheveled state and completely disappeared.
Chun-Li raised an eyebrow and walked over to the White Queen, slapping her plump, jelly-like buttocks with a "smack."
"Move aside, I need to use the car!"
"I took two days off and found out about Xiao Lifen."
Little Lifen?
Li Pu quickly searched his mind for relevant information.
It seems to be the little girl Chun-Li adopted in Street Fighter V, who is her first disciple.
According to the game's timeline before he transmigrated, the girl seemed to be in her adolescence.
"Tsk," the White Queen let her bouncy buttocks sway gently under her coat as she slowly carried Li Pu off the motorcycle. "I never expected you to come out to greet me just for the motorcycle."
The White Queen, devoid of any bossy demeanor, retaliated by ruffling Li Pu's little head, saying, "See? When you grow up, you must stay away from materialistic women like this."
"Vroom—click!" Chun-Li turned the motorcycle key and looked up at Li Pu with a smile, her gentle demeanor tinged with a hint of slyness: "Of course I'm here to pick up 'this little black sesame glutinous rice ball'. You described him as so cute in the communications, and now it seems he really is."
"With this girl, our firm is now quite well-off."
She paused slightly, then looked apologetically at Li Pu: "But I'm sorry, I have something urgent to attend to right now."
"Once your older sister finds your senior sister, Xiao Lifen, you'll become her apprentice, okay?"
Then, as if remembering something, her tone became lighter: "We're both Asian! Hey, by the way, what dimension are you from... cough, where are you from?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the White Queen raised her eyebrows. "Ha, a son and a daughter? You wish! This boy is mine, and I will adopt him. Don't even think about it!"
The mature woman, Chunli, curled her lips into a playful smile, tapping her fingertips lightly on the handlebars. "Oh? You? Do you even know how to take care of a child?"
He then turned to Li Pu, pretending to lean in and whisper in his ear, but then gave a "friendly reminder" at just the right volume for the White Queen to hear:
"Poor thing, her hometown, the US, is one of the countries with the highest promiscuity rates in the world, especially for someone like her... cough, with severe psychological trauma, becoming a single mother... tsk tsk tsk~"
The White Queen immediately rubbed Li Pu's little face and retorted, "Look at you, so dignified on the surface, but your heart is full of lewd nonsense. Would you take a woman like that as your teacher? Of course not, right!"
The two continued bickering, and Li Pu sighed and quietly opened the partner panel.
Chun-Li has not yet accepted the partner invitation, so the panel information cannot be obtained.
really……
Gradually,
The two mature women sped up faster and faster, and Tifa, blushing and lost in thought, could no longer keep up...
Li Pu, who was being rubbed and turned upside down by the White Queen, was too choked to speak.
"Alright, I have other things to do, so I won't scold you today." Chunli flicked her toe, kicked the ignition pedal, and the engine roared to life, her full, soft body trembling with the sound.
"There was a slight mishap with the hotel contract, and the summary report is sitting on my desk."
"Hmm, alright, alright, you're in your fifties and still calling yourself a girl..." The White Queen, as taciturn as a machine, didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.
Chunli frowned, turned the car around, and threw out two more sentences:
"Also, you need to take the 'assessment' of this girl and child's agency staff qualifications seriously! Otherwise, the regional office might hire another agency to come and forcibly expel them!"
"Those people from those 'sixth-tier' and 'seventh-tier' agencies are more closely connected to the supernatural forces of this world, and they are much more difficult to deal with than the 'otherworldly witches' whose power constantly weakens!"
Li Pu was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately memorized this important information!
If the White Queen forgets, I must remind her!
To his surprise, the White Queen's gaze turned serious, and she nodded heavily. "Well, then I'll let Tifa stay in your room for now."
"Either is fine." Chunli immediately twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle roared, tearing through the wind and disappearing into the distance.
Tifa was tossed about in the wind by the exhaust fumes.
"You're leaving already? I still wanted to ask you some questions..."
A cold wind blew, and the White Queen wrapped her coat tighter around herself, straightening her upper body to make the embrace of the boy in her arms even more ample and thick. "Don't worry, she'll be back soon."
"This bitch is a force to be reckoned with wherever she goes, no need to worry."
Tifa also wrapped her coat tighter around herself.
The clicking sound of high heels echoed through the silent, deserted highway.
The three strolled leisurely along the road, heading towards the firm.
"She and her apprentice are 'otherworldly witches' who traveled here together."
"However, after she transmigrated here, her little apprentice has been acting strangely and avoiding her, and I don't know why."
"Maybe it's a rebellious phase..." As she spoke, the White Queen seemed to have thought of something. Her crystal-blue lips curled up again, and she squeezed her hands under her coat to her chest, vigorously kneading the cute boy in her arms.
"Will you go through a rebellious phase? Hmm? Are you trying to run away?!"
Li Pu, who was being violently pounded, suddenly felt dizzy and his vision went black.
Me!

I apologize for the lateness; these two chapters are core setting chapters and have been revised repeatedly.
After painful reflection on my previous book, I realized I needed a simple and clear system, instead of the messy collection of essay skills and settings that plagued my previous book.
Chapter Thirteen: The Agency, Eagle City, Brain in a Vat, and the Bond of the Human Stick...
R zone,
River Valley Town.
A chilling wind swept through the alleyway as a hunched figure gnawed on scraps of food beside a trash can, his eyes seemingly glued to Li Pu and his two companions in the middle of the street.
Several menacing glints of light shone from various hidden corners.
“The slums in ‘Eagle City’ are no ordinary slums; cannibalism is commonplace.”
"Did you see those 'rats'?" Li Pu, who was under the White Queen's coat, was lifted up a few feet. "Don't go out recklessly before you can protect yourself, especially at night. The nights in Eagle City are not protected by urban laws."
Li Pu, with his little head peeking out from under her tightly wrapped coat, looked like a doll keychain.
The smell in the air was indescribable, somewhat like a garbage dump from a past life.
It has that pungent, sour smell of rotting banana peels mixed with leftover beverage residue from the bottom of plastic bottles and countless food scraps.
The stench of corpses in the hotel was quite different from the stench in the hotel.
If the White Queen's office smelled like this, he would rather camp in the ruins outside town every day.
And, I always feel like this place is...
It wasn't much safer than the strangely transformed hotel...
Behind her, Tifa, the seemingly frail woman with "A-level strength and speed" who was close to the White Queen, gripped the hem of her coat tightly, her breathing becoming stiff, her fingertips almost digging into her palms.
The town's dim light brought no sense of security; instead, it made the beastly eyes in the dark alleys appear even more ferocious.
Before her steps faltered, the White Queen's voice pierced the eerie wind:
"In the eyes of the high-level regulators in the various districts of 'Eagle City,' people without identity are nothing more than breathing garbage, rats scavenging for food in the gutter."
At that moment, a homeless woman curled up next to a tin box nearby suddenly looked up, blood sticking between her teeth. She swallowed hard and staggered toward the three of them, her mind unclear.
The White Queen's face turned cold, and she immediately kicked her back into the dark alley.
"This is the weakest. In order to survive, they specialize in scooping out the entrails of lone prey, digging out and preserving their internal organs, packing them in ice boxes and stuffing them into body bags, and supplying them to certain gangs and organizations in exchange for the supplies and money they need to survive."
"However, they should really thank Chun-Li today, if it weren't for Chun-Li stopping that little gang."
"These rats who can't pay their protection money will probably become the small gang's 'tribute' to the big gang for 'protection money' tonight."
The White Queen sighed quietly, "Distorted flesh, chaotic beliefs, roaming rats, rampant gangs, and law firms—this place is utterly rotten..."
"The most terrifying thing is not the forceful expulsion of these unidentified people, the most terrifying thing is..."
“They will ‘recycle’ during the eviction process.”
As she spoke, she tapped the cute boy's head in her arms, "Someone as bright as you would have your brain dug out and made into a 'brainless brain' to be overclocked in laboratories and think tanks for hundreds or thousands of years until it becomes completely mush and scrapped."
"As for Tifa, they would first forcibly extract her memories of fighting techniques from her head, then cut off her limbs and sell them as commodities."
"The limb transplants of a high-level fighter are highly sought after in Eagle City. The memories of new fighting techniques are even more lucrative products that can be copied and sold."
Tifa shuddered. "So, so these healthy homeless people are the useless 'rats'...?"
Li Pu frowned slightly. "Even in death, one must shine brightly..."
The White Queen sighed and comforted Tifa, saying, "Don't be afraid. The 'Otherworldly Witch' is in a slightly better situation. She has some value to the higher-ups in various regions and can be considered as 'otherworldly waste' that can be burned."
“But in their eyes, a homeless kid like him with no job or family is ‘unrecyclable trash,’ and that’s what they said when they announced it to the residents.”
The words suddenly hung in mid-air.
The White Queen loosened her grip slightly, her hand hesitating as she kneaded the little dumpling's face.
"You're really strange... In the past, all the ones who came were 'otherworldly witches'."
A glint of light flashed in his eyes, "You little brat, you're probably the first case..."
"Anotherworldly little devil? You're not a little girl, are you?" She could no longer suppress her laughter.
And you call this "Bala Bala Little Fairy" nonsense?! I'm not Xiao Nan Niang!
After protesting in the White Queen's arms
Li Pu frowned.
The City of Eagles...
Leaving the mutated hotel felt like jumping into an even bigger meat grinder.
The situation has even gotten worse!
As she pondered, the curses and provocations that the thugs had used to provoke Chun-Li suddenly pierced her eardrums.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and the question shattered his restraint:
"Where's the agency?! What are those weird titles like 'Ninth Rank' and 'Seventh Rank'...?"
The White Queen walked along, lost in thought, seemingly trying to figure out how to explain things to him.
Her jade-like feet swayed as the crystal high heels tapped against the gravel path, the hem of her coat casting lingering shadows in the cold wind.
"A law firm? They're nothing but hyenas that take people's money and do their dirty work."
"In short, working for an agency is equivalent to being a mercenary, and it's the only promising career in Eagle City."
"Rank?" She scoffed and kicked a tin can into the drain grate.
"When hyenas divide the meat, they naturally arrange the seating according to their fangs and claws."
"Money, fame, fortune, women, men—as long as you're of a high enough rank, you can have it all."
Then, she suddenly changed the subject, "But these aren't things you can just take for free just because you have the ability."
"On a regular basis, we must accept official assignments to tear apart the rotting flesh that is ubiquitous in Eagle City, with a difficulty level that can easily kill people of all ranks—abnormal entities born from meme infection, mental pollution, and so on..."
"When necessary, they will also be conscripted by the heads of their respective regions to participate in frequent church wars between the twenty-six regions, from A to Z..."
"As for Eagle City?" She suddenly smirked. "It doesn't sound very big, it seems to be just a capital city, right?"
"But it's actually a scab scraped off an old world map."
As she spoke, she stomped her high heels on her jade-like feet, "Can you smell the rust? There are corpses pieced together from three entire continents underneath!"
Tifa's beautiful eyes trembled slightly. "Then, isn't this just a marathon where we'll be coughing up blood? We might die in a quest or a war any day now, and there'll be no way to live a peaceful life..."
