"Feng Jiu, my Special Assistant, you can contact him if you have any matters." Ji Shen introduced the man's identity.

"I only have one matter, and that is to sleep with you." Ye Wushuang repeated her purpose, then sat down at the dining table after washing her hands.

Other than that, she had no other matters that required Ji Shen's help.Full novel: The Academic Queen Wears Many Masks — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Ji Shen raised an eyebrow slightly.

If anyone else had said this, they would have already been dealt with as a woman.

He sat opposite Ye Wushuang and elegantly picked up his cutlery: "I do not know what you like or what you are allergic to; I hope this meal is to your taste."

"I am not a picky eater." Ye Wushuang lowered her eyelids and said nothing more.

In her past life, she had eaten wild grass and chewed tree bark to survive; by comparison, all human food was far too delicious.

Ji Shen nodded.

The word "guarded" was no longer enough to describe the young girl before him.

She had completely sealed herself off, to the point where even the wind could not get in, so naturally, she had no need to be guarded against anything else.

She was only eighteen; what had caused her to become like this?

Was it really because she had changed her temperament after failing to receive her fiancé's love?

The meal was eaten in silence; it was fortunate that both Ye Wushuang and Ji Shen were people who had seen great storms and waves and could adapt to different occasions.

Unlike the servants nearby, who were already so embarrassed they were digging their toes into the floor.

After dinner, Ye Wushuang went to Ji Shen's bedroom.

The bedroom was minimalist with a cold color palette; there were not many things, but any single item taken out would be worth a fortune.

"Miss Ye, the bathroom is on the left, and everything is fully prepared. Young Master Ji is in the study room handling official duties and will come over later to sleep with you." The servant's expression was quite shy when saying this.

Who could have imagined that Young Master Ji, the dream of billions of girls in the Huaxia Mainland, would one day sleep with a female high school student from the countryside?

If this got out, it would certainly shock many people!

On the other side, Ji Shen finished handling his matters and walked toward the bedroom.

He pushed the door open and discovered the young girl leaning against the headboard, flipping through a textbook. The warm orange light in the room neutralized the coldness and sharpness on her body, and her profile looked exceptionally gentle.

Hearing the movement, she immediately looked up, her eyes cold, looking at him as if he were a heartless sleep companion robot.

Ji Shen lay on the other side of the bed.

Ye Wushuang also turned off the light and lay down.

The two people slept in the same bed.

Ji Shen could feel Ye Wushuang moving closer and then further away, as if she were trying to find a comfortable distance.

Finally, she turned on her side and gently rested her forehead against his shoulder; this movement was like a couple in love, full of intimacy and reliance.

Not long after, Ji Shen heard the sound of steady, light breathing coming from beside him.

She really had fallen asleep very quickly.

Ji Shen was not able to fall asleep so easily.

For so many years, he had always fallen asleep alone; with a woman suddenly by his side, even just adapting would take some time.

At night, a wild wind suddenly rose, and thunder roared.

The flashing lightning gave the dark night a moment of brightness, illuminating the villa and also revealing over a dozen figures on the villa walls!

Ji Shen suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of ferocity flashing through his narrow and long pupils.

There are always people who refuse to walk the path to heaven and choose to come here to seek death.

Before he could make any further move, Ye Wushuang, who was leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, slightly opened her red lips:

"Leave it to me."

Boom!

The bedroom door was kicked open by an intruder, who immediately observed the environment inside the room.

Having been prepared, Ye Wushuang, who was stuck in a blind spot, backhanded a punch that smashed into his nose bridge and eyes!

"Agh!"

The intruder closed his eyes out of physiological reflex and fired his pistol in Ye Wushuang's direction.

The moment he pulled the trigger, Ye Wushuang lifted his arm, causing the bullet to hit the ceiling, then kicked his abdomen with her knee, snatched his pistol, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A headshot!

The life that had been vibrant just a moment ago fell downward; he did not even know who had killed him!

Everything happened too fast!

The gunshot attracted the remaining intruders, and they swarmed in from all directions.

Ye Wushuang was calm and composed; she walked out of the bedroom, holding a black pistol in her hand, firing six shots—four to the left and two to the right—dropping six people. Every shot hit its mark!

The latecomers raised their vigilance, crept to close range, and launched a surprise attack on Ye Wushuang at a corner.

Ye Wushuang leaned back, got up, grabbed his wrist, and used a grappling technique to restrain him, but she raised her hand and fired a shot at the frosted glass of the balcony.

Bang!

The person hiding behind the glass intending to launch a surprise attack died instantly!

Then, Ye Wushuang delivered a headshot to the intruder in front of her, ruthless and cool.

The enemy's attrition rate was extremely fast!

The battle continued.

But the outcome was already decided, was it not!

Feng Jiu rushed to the bedroom and discovered Ji Shen leaning against the railing, observing the battle downstairs. The dim light hit him, adding a hallucinatory and enchanting feeling to that handsome face capable of overturning the world.

He was still gently swirling a glass of red wine, as if he were appreciating a magnificent waltz.

Feng Jiu was stunned.

"Is it strange for a weak man with no strength to truss a chicken to be protected by a fierce and powerful young girl?"

Ji Shen smiled lightly, the shock under his eyes hard to conceal.

He guessed that when his grandfather was saved by her, he must have been just as shocked.

Feng Jiu's mouth twitched.

When you pinned me to the ground and beat me, you certainly didn't say you were a weak man with no strength to truss a chicken.

"Evaluate her skill," Ji Shen asked his Special Assistant.

Feng Jiu observed, and after a moment, his pupils shrank slightly.

It is easiest to distinguish one's own kind; Ye Wushuang's movement, awareness, and the habit of always delivering a follow-up headshot all spelled out the word "assassin."

Compared to the elusive agent and the mercenary who thinks money is king, an assassin is colder, more ruthless, more vicious, and more powerful.

Because their world has no country or money, only life and death!

"She is an assassin," Feng Jiu said with a certain tone.

Ji Shen stopped swirling his red wine glass.

He had thought that Ye Wushuang might have received training from a martial arts Grandmaster.

He had also thought that Ye Wushuang might know some retired soldier, which was why she was familiar with firearms.

He just never thought that Ye Wushuang was an assassin.

"And she is stronger than me; she has the demeanor of the queen from back then," the laconic Feng Jiu added, rarely saying more.

He had once been fortunate enough to see the scene of the queen executing a mission, and at the time, he felt the word "queen" was well-deserved.

The young girl before him was no worse than the queen!

Ji Shen drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp, dark light flashing through his deep eyes.

The background investigation file on Ye Wushuang had indeed left out many things!

Downstairs.

Ye Wushuang finished off the last intruder and looked up at Ji Shen, her tone calm: "Consider it paying the rent."

Living in someone's house and eating their food, it was inevitable that she would have to spend money.

Killing people is equivalent to paying rent?

Ji Shen laughed and looked down at her: "That is fine."

The young girl stood in a pile of corpses, her exquisite and beautiful face stained with a few spots of blood, yet she was unexpectedly even more beautiful.

Like a flower born toward death, the closer it was to hell, the more passionate and charming it became.

The awakened servants looked at each other and silently dealt with the scene.

They were people cultivated by the Ji Family, not nannies and security guards paid by the month from a labor market.

This night, Ye Wushuang slept exceptionally comfortably.

Even though there was a small episode in the middle, it had been a long time since she had such a good sleep.

When she woke up, Ji Shen was no longer by her side.

As the head of a major family, he was naturally busier than others.

After breakfast, Ye Wushuang was sent to Flying Bird Academy by the driver.

Just as she arrived near the academy, before the driver had even parked, Ye Wushuang saw Jian Jiaoyang confronting a boy from far away, and behind that boy stood a short-haired female high school student with a good appearance.

Many people had gathered around.
