Chapter 253: Chapter 220 All of You Retreat

"Why haven’t they made a move yet? I’m dying of impatience!"

A big-bearded man blocking the back door wiped the sweat beads off his nose.

At least from the side, Curly Hair and Hei Mei could still see Jiang Xiao and Mu Xitang’s positions.

As for acting on subtle cues, it was highly unlikely from his position; the back-door Bearded could only rely on "listening for noises."

...

Now, there was a small problem over at Jiang Xiao’s end...

Mu Xitang’s stubbornness kicked in.

She insisted that true heroes of old never let their underlings die for them while they hid and watched.

No matter what, she had to do the whole "lead the charge" and "lead by example" routine.

And now?

She refused to come down, clutching the Gatling gun for dear life.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t pull her away no matter how hard he tried.

"Dad, I can be a heartless assassin, but I can’t be a big brother who abandons his little bros!"

"Otherwise, if the word gets out, how can I, Mu Xitang, mix with others? I’m not only ’loyal and Righteous’ but also ’as boundless as heaven in righteousness’ and ’sharing life and death with my underlings,’ and always ready to ’take a knife for my brothers’!"

God damn it...

Who praises themselves that hard?

Jiang Xiao suspected that this chick was just showing off in front of the live stream!

"Although Little Pink Hair has a little self-promotion vibe, I still love her."

"She really, I’m gonna cry."

"Definitely love her! Pink Hair Sect Hierarch can really handle things, she truly steps up for her underlings!"

"Isn’t our Pink Hair more genuine than all those bosses here who just talk big?"

"Uh, my boss doesn’t even compare to Mu Xitang; in my heart, he’s not even on the same level as people, I usually compare my boss to a dog..."

"Yes, yes, I also like comparing dogs to my boss, like: letting a dog lead would be better than the boss’ decisiveness, and the decisions my boss makes are worse than a dog’s, I think this dog might be as smart as our boss or something like that."

"Shut up! I won’t let you insult dogs like that!"

...

Seeing Jiang Xiao would not agree, Little Pink Hair had to tell the truth.

After all, the books say that sincerity is the killer technique!

Mu Xitang: ୧(๑•̌～•̑)

"The thing is, I’m streaming live right now, and if I appear too weak, I won’t be able to recruit underlings in the future!"

Live stream: ...

Sometimes, you really don’t have to be that honest.

Jiang Xiao: ʅ(･´～･｀)ʃ

"Fine, then. I’ll allow you to advance another thirty meters, and you are not to leave a three-meter radius from me."

Mu Xitang: (ʃƪ⁰̷̴)꒨(⁰̷̴)

"Oh wow~ Roger that! I knew Dad was the best!"

Upon receiving the order, Mu Xitang immediately picked up the Gatling, which was taller than her, and charged forward fifty meters!

Her little face was full of determination!

"Xi Tang special ops squad’s first mission, ’Assassin X’ plan, begin!"

As one of Little Pink Hair’s grenades traced an elegant parabola landing in front of Romia Cathedral’s doors.

"Boom!"

The battle of five people besieging the church officially began!

Hearing the faint commotion outside, the Priest, who was still in prayer, was taken aback.

"What’s going on?"

"Father, I’ll go check it out for you."

A bunny nun finished her prayers and conscientiously went out to investigate.

The reason the nuns inside didn’t feel the sound and power of the grenade was mainly that the Priest had demanded the best in soundproofing and shock resistance when constructing the cathedral.

Firstly, he didn’t want to be disturbed by any outside noise while he was working.

Secondly, the cathedral was his sanctuary; even though he was invincible, home should be as strong and luxurious as possible.

The cathedral’s outer wall was made of 200 cm of granite, followed by a 60 cm thick steel plate.

In between, there was a layer of top-quality soundproofing cotton.

Then, behind the steel plate was another 200 cm of granite.

In between, again a layer of top-quality soundproofing cotton.

So, the wall’s structure was granite + soundproof cotton + steel plate + soundproof cotton + granite.

Not to mention anything else, but the nearly five-meter thick wall was definitely maxed out in strength.

"Damn, that’s one solid door!" Mu Xitang looked at the door in front of her, uncertain.

Several grenades down and still couldn’t open the door, who would believe it?

Big Beard and the two others were also stunned.

This wasn’t what they expected.

They thought it would be a straightforward slaughter, but not even their mortar could penetrate the wall?

If it weren’t for the tremors they felt on the ground, Big Bearded might suspect that the ammunition Loki provided was substandard.

But the surprise of the crowd didn’t last long as they were distracted by several whooshing sounds.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Turns out, the not-so-talkative Curly Hair, seeing the wall was too tough, pulled out an air-to-ground missile.

Several missiles rained down from the sky, hitting the top of Romia Cathedral.

Even a steel plate could hardly withstand the weapon that represented the extreme limits of an individual’s firepower.

Clearly, they could see the walls starting to tilt.

But this was far from enough.

The ammunition they had was limited, and the missiles were even fewer.

Hoping that the few missiles they had would destroy the cathedral wasn’t realistic.

And right then, Little Pink Hair suddenly pulled out a pistol and fired into the sky.

"Pop! Pop pop! Pop pop pop! Pop!"

"What’s that supposed to mean?" Jiang Xiao asked the little pink-haired girl curiously.

"1—2—3—1, group installation of C4 explosives! Using the resonance of the bombs to inflict unparalleled damage on the walls, the book calls this Mu’s Law!"

Jiang Xiao continued to ask, "Uh, can you be sure that the bearded guys can install them with you?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another round of gunfire rang out.

"Pop! Pop pop! Pop pop pop! Pop!"

"Hehe~"

The little pink-haired girl wiped her soot-blackened face, beaming with pride.

"I’ve already arranged it with them in advance. I send the signal once, and then the bearded guy farthest from me repeats it. That’s when we all act together!"

What the heck?

Could she actually be a genius?

"Uh, Xi Tang, uh, Daddy’s got a question for you?"

"Oh, what?"

Mu Xitang kept her professional demeanor while installing C4, answering Jiang Xiao.

"Did you learn all this from books?"

"Yeah, that’s right. Dr. Sun said, ’Reading thousands of books is like traveling thousands of miles.’ Me, a child who grew up in Kaidan, haven’t seen much, and if I want to blend into the same society as Daddy, I need to read more books!"

"How many books have you read?"

"So many! Wuxia, fantasy, black technology, war, underground societies... Oh gosh, so many, I’ve read over nine hundred in five days, and I’ve memorized them all!"

Jiang Xiao: ...

"Daddy, how many books have you read?"

Her simple question left Jiang Xiao feeling defenseless, with a considerable hurt in his heart.

If Jiang Xiao remembered correctly,

he hadn’t even fully memorized the only book "Three Hundred Tang Poems" that the dean had given him.

No way!

He can’t bring the little pink-haired girl next time; she made him feel completely insignificant!

So cute and yet so clever with tricks, and now he realized her brain was so sharp, who could stand it?

Live stream viewers: ...

Over nine hundred books? In five days?

And memorized them all?

You couldn’t even flip through that many pages in a second?!

[Could it be, damn! Could that legendary person not be a scammer?]

[Who?]

[(Quantum wave speed reading method) the inventor! Claims that for only 88,000 in half a year, you can bring home a prodigy!]

[Shut up, Mu Xitang is a part of the uncanny, not a normal person. Don’t view her with the same lens as you would a normal person.]

[You said it, but these two, father and daughter, both seem a bit off...]

[If your eyes aren’t painted on, you’d have seen that by now, no?]

Leave alone whether Mu Xitang’s brain was ill.

Because at that moment, the Bunny Girl peering through the door crack had lost one of her high heels in panic!

"Father! Father! Something terrible has happened!"

The praying priest finally opened his eyes for the first time.

Those who were attentive could notice that the priest, emanating a holy aura, flashed a glint of darkness in the depths of his pupils.

"How noisy. How many times have I told you not to shout in the church? Everything must be done with tranquility in mind. The word ’tranquil’ has seven layers of meaning, which correspond to the churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea, and also, these seven..."

Before he could continue, the priest was interrupted again by the frantic Bunny Girl.

"Father! Someone’s attacking us outside! Carrying a really big machine gun!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

The priest showed interest, it had been so long that he himself had forgotten when the last person who dared to challenge his authority showed up.

"Mola, unrobe me. Bada Yali, fetch my staff."

"Yes, my father." x2

Oh no!

Here was Bunny Girl panicking to death, and they were still fussing over these tedious rituals, what for!

"Alex, you’ve only been working in the cathedral for less than a week, so being flustered is normal. But please remember, the Father does not like your personality. Make sure you remember to change."

"That’s right, Alex. You should know that no matter what happens, even if the sky falls, not a single hair on our Father’s head will be harmed."

The nuns who had worked there longer were all "admonishing" the newcomer Bunny Girl.

Listening to his subordinates’ adoration,

the priest’s mournful and merciful demeanor seemed to increase threefold.

"This is but an ignorant little bee. The occasional sting should be seen as a warning from God, telling us never to be arrogant or complacent."

"Yes, Father. I’m sorry; it’s Alex’s fault for being ignorant."

Bunny Girl bowed her head low, confident in the Father’s undeniable strength, believing that no one in the world could hurt him.

But...

That little pink-haired girl outside really didn’t seem like an ordinary problem.

Especially that man with the troubled face, even giving her the impression of being as oppressive as facing the priest himself...

"My believers, come and follow in the Father’s footsteps. Let’s see who dares to offend us, it’s the same as challenging God’s authority."

...

"Are you done yet?"

Jiang Xiao looked at the busy little pink-haired girl, feeling quite useless as a father.

"All done, all done, Daddy, let’s move back a bit!"

Mu Xitang pulled Jiang Xiao back to a safe distance.

The priest and the nuns had also approached the door.

"Father, allow me to open the door for you."

"No, all of you step back. As a believer of God, it is fitting for me to be the first to face these heretics outside. Let me use the mercy and love of God to convert them. Alone, I am sufficient!"

The priest maintained his compassionate face, sighing lightly as if resigned to the heretics’ attack outside.

Truly becoming of the Father!

Even when under attack, he planned to convert the enemy, rather than relying on a vast majority to overwhelm them.
