Chapter 129 A Kiss That Smells Like Barbecue
"Have we solved the rookie killer problem?"
Youyou wrapped her arms around Shichen's neck, her legs held by his arm, and looked at the rookie assassin who was already exuding a meaty aroma, asking uncertainly.
"I told you to be more confident," Shi Chen said with a smile, pinching her delicate nose.
"Hmm...:.:" Youyou murmured, unaccustomed to the sound.
"The newbie killer is only troublesome for newbies. It's still easy for a mage like you to deal with. It can't even withstand your sleeping spell, and your intermediate spells are much more powerful than normal people's."
"I see."
"How about it? Feeling a little more confident now?"
Um.
"...: " Youyou nodded shyly.
"What do we say now? Should we go back and report directly, or stay a little longer?"
"Why stay longer...::..Hmm." Meeting Shi Chenzhuo's burning gaze, Youyou felt she understood what he meant.
"I...I'll do as you say."
"Really? Do you realize how damaging your words can be?"
"what?"
"I don't know if you said it on purpose or not, but never mind, at least it was me."
"I said that because it's you," Youyou replied, her head bowed and her face flushed.
"you.
Looking at the shy Youyou, Shichen couldn't help but swallow hard, his mouth feeling dry.
She's kind of alluring now.
"Youyou, I might be about to do something naughty to you..."
"What... um!"
Before Youyou could finish her question, Shichen lowered his head and sealed her cherry blossom-like lips with his. She opened her big eyes and looked at Shichen, who was so close to her.
This was the first time she had seen him so closely; his bright eyes, brown pupils, handsome features, and clean face.
He's really good-looking.
"Ugh... um—!"
Just then, Youyou's eyes widened even more; she seemed stunned.
Because when she was off guard, Shi Chen suddenly began a deep conversation, leaving her mind in a state of confusion.
Her heart raced, her face flushed, and she gradually became addicted to the feeling.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before. She felt she would remember this moment for the rest of her life, remembering this first kiss that tasted like barbecue.
When they returned to town, Shichen and Youyou were still holding hands. They didn't talk to each other, and Youyou kept her head down, looking at the ground.
As the two of them walked, dark chunks of meat floated around them, their aroma constantly drawing attention. "Shichen, what kind of monster have you dealt with this time?"
"It looks huge! Is it a powerful monster?"
"Why are there just the two of you? Are you on a date?"

"They're still holding hands~"
"Don't you guys have anything better to do? Why are you staring at me every day?" Shi Chen replied to the passersby without any embarrassment.
Youyou lowered her head even further, but she didn't loosen her grip on Shichen's hand, mainly because he was holding it too tightly.
After the kiss ended, Shi Chen took her back to town, and she didn't say a word, just silently followed him and listened to his arrangements.
She didn't even ask why he suddenly kissed her.
Right now, all she can think about is that thrilling feeling from just now—it's intoxicating, unforgettable, and even more addictive than the hug she had the night before last.
It seems she won't be able to sleep again tonight.
"We couldn't help it, you just happened to show up when we were around."
"Exactly, are we not even allowed to watch? It's so blatant."
"Oh, it's Youyou. I thought it was Huihui."
"I thought it was Aqua."
"Shichen, you're a hero in our newbie village, so you're not allowed to be unfaithful. You need to focus."
"No way, I really ship him and Huihui. Their bickering is so much fun!"
"Aqua is better; the two are a much better match!"
"Youyou is the best!"
"You guys..." Shi Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips as he watched everyone suddenly start arguing.
What happened?
Do people from another world also enjoy shipping (pairing characters)?
But how long has he been here?
Forget it, people in this world are abnormal to begin with, we can't treat them with common sense.
"Yoyo, let's hurry up."
"Hmm, I've arrived at the guild. It's still lively here, and there are even more people than this morning."
With the high-ranking demons dealt with, everyone had no worries and naturally came over to eat and drink to celebrate. When Shichen pulled Youyou into the guild, he also spotted Sato Kazuma, who was chatting happily with a man.
"Brother Shi!" Shi Chen was very easy to attract attention, and Sato Kazuma saw him immediately.
Shichen pulled Youyou toward them: "Kazuma, what are you doing here?"
"Oh~ I was gathering information from my older brother while I was studying," Sato Kazuma replied smugly.
"Really? What did you find out?"
"Hehe~ I've learned quite a bit about adventurers, including that icy beauty Darkness I met this morning."
She was originally a noblewoman.
"Ice Queen..."
"Is there a problem?"
Shi Chen shook his head: "It's nothing."
"Brother Shi, let me introduce you. This is Duster, a friend I just met."
"Duster? Hello, my name is Tokimatsu." Tokimatsu nodded to a man with dark blond hair next to Kazuma Sato.
"Hello, hero," Dust replied.
"You two can continue your conversation. Youyou and I will go report on our mission."
"Oh, Brother Shi, you've taken on a mission? With Youyou alone? I understand." Sato Kazuma revealed a lewd smile.
Shi Chen ignored him and took Youyou to find Luna.
"Mr. Shichen, you're so fast! As expected of you!" Luna's enthusiasm soared as soon as she saw Shichen.
Please don't tell me I'm fast.
"Hmm?" Luna tilted her head in confusion.
"Don't worry about it, Youyou and I have already dealt with the rookie killer. Its body is outside the door, but it's already charred. Do you still want it?"
"Of course I want to."
"Then why don't you go and check it out?"
"No, I trust Mr. Shichen. Let's give you the payment first."
"Let's go and take a look. We can't make an exception for me."
"I understand... As expected of Mr. Shichen, he has such principles."
"Um
Shichen and Youyou followed Luna out to inspect the body of the rookie assassin, but they ran into Darkness and Chris walking over.
"Isn't this the time of day? Hello!" Chris waved with a smile.
"We've met again at this hour, it must be fate..." Darkness said with a serious expression.
"Why are you here? Are you all done?" Shi Chen looked at Darkness, who was only wearing black underwear, especially her abdomen, but he didn't see any well-defined abdominal muscles.
"He's staring at me so openly..." Darkness sensed something was off; she immediately noticed Shi Chen's gaze and couldn't help but blush.
Shi Chen's lips twitched: "...
"Darkness, what are you talking about?" Chris looked at her helplessly.
"No, it's nothing..."
"Alright, Toki, what are you all doing? Aqua and the others aren't here?"
"Hmm? You care about her a lot?" Shi Chen looked at her with a smile.
"Huh? No, not really."
"Hehe~ Youyou and I went on the mission alone. This is that rookie assassin."
"Wow, you guys took care of the rookie killer? That's amazing! We couldn't find it anywhere." Chris quickly chimed in.
"Maybe it's because Youyou and I are like newcomers, this guy took the initiative to approach us."
"I see."
"So, what are you two doing here?"
"It wasn't me, it's Darkness who seems to be looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Shi Chen looked at her, a bad feeling creeping over him.
"Um, that...:::::" Darkness suddenly stammered.
"Can I...can I join your team?"
"No!" Shi Chen refused decisively.
"Wow! They actually refused outright!" Darkness exclaimed excitedly.
"Why do you want to join our team?" Shi Chen asked speechlessly.
"I... I don't have a team, and you guys are so powerful, plus you're probably lacking shields, right? That's perfect for me."
...Aren't you on the same team as Chris?
"We're just a temporary team," Chris explained, spreading his hands. "Besides, thieves and knights aren't a good match."
"That's true."
"I'm begging you too, please let Darkness join your team," Chris pleaded.
"Youyou, what do you think?"
"Huh? You're asking me?" Youyou was startled.
"Otherwise what?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
"Um...you can decide the time," Youyou said shyly.
Shi Chen stroked his chin: "This... isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"Really?" Darkness asked excitedly.
"Don't rush, I have one condition."
"Conditions? Could it be that they want me to...?" Darkness's breathing quickened.
"It's none of your business..." Shi Chen suppressed the urge to beat her up and looked at Chris: "Chris,
I need your help with a small matter.
"Feed?"
