You are all bad women! Don't come over!

"Now the most beautiful girl in the world is holding your hand, why the long face?"

Night had fallen, lights had just come on, and the roads were bustling with endless traffic. Summer nights were cooler than the day, and the cicadas were tirelessly chirping.

A young couple held hands, wandering aimlessly along the road. The boy's face was filled with sorrow, which affected the girl's mood as well.

"Then give me back my money..."

"What 'your money'? That's my money, could you have earned it without me?" Catherine huffed, "I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. If it weren't for your last-minute increase, all that money would have been mine!"

"Do you, a rich lady, really need to do this? Even wanting to snatch the hard-earned money of the poor, truly the offspring of a major landlord, only know how to exploit the poor!"

Catherine shrugged, "We caused such a big problem today, the family might even freeze my assets, so this money is important to me too. It could keep me from becoming completely broke one day."

Shen Mochen didn't pursue that topic and sighed, "I thought I had latched onto a rich lady, turned out she's poorer than I am!"

"Regretting it? If you regret it, you can send me back," Catherine raised an eyebrow.

"Don't provoke me, sending you back would be the real regret!" Shen Mochen squeezed Catherine's hand.

Catherine looked down and smiled, their fingers interlocking.

"How much superpower do you have left now?"

"You ask that as if you're asking how much money I still have... Actually, none, only our team captain's Wind superpower is still usable. If those people from your side were a bit tougher, it would have been awkward for me."

Shen Mochen answered honestly.

Besides Xiao Xingshuang's superpower, he had Liu Chaoyan's superpower, Xia Qingrou's superpower, Fuzi's superpower, and the enhanced Cai Yuncui's superpower. Especially Cai Yuncui's superpower, which, after his enhancement, could temporarily match the power levels of a Transcendent.

But the problem was, Shen Mochen could only use other people's superpowers for a few seconds. Except for Liu Chaoyan's superpower that could exert a deterrent effect quickly, controlling the situation with the other superpowers was not very feasible.

Therefore, Su Mo had used his strongest card at the beginning, defeating all threats in one strike and giving those big shots the greatest psychological shock, leaving them no time to react or think.

Of course, Shen Mochen had also considered that if these big figures couldn't be bowed by threats, and if Yin Caiyu, Han Muxue, and Liu Chaoyan's superpowers couldn't frighten them, then he would have had to use Xia Qingrou's superpower to beat Mayor Wu half to death... Since his position was the lowest.

"Actually, I don't quite understand something, I can understand you knocking out all the guards, but how did you precisely lock onto every superpower user in the crowd, including those hidden, without harming any ordinary people?" Catherine looked puzzled.

"Here's the thing, when I first entered Buque, two inspectors escorted me there. Their superpowers weren't suitable for combat, but they were good for surveillance. One of the short-haired girls had a superpower that could lock onto all nearby threats..." Shen Mochen confessed.

Catherine nodded lightly, her smile blooming like a white rose, her eyes sharp as swords, "So that's it, our Shen Mochen likes to show mercy, kissing anyone!"

Not sure if it was because of the cold night wind, Shen Mochen shivered and quickly said, "I didn't, my superpower isn't limited to copying through kissing only, normal physical contact works too, I just touched her hand!"

Catherine smiled and lifted their interlocked hands, squeezing hard, "Like this?"

"Ah, ah, ah..." Shen Mochen screamed, "No, it wasn't like that, just a touch!"

"Hmph!" Catherine let go of Shen Mochen's hand and turned her face away.

Another breeze with a slight moist drift passed by. Catherine glanced at Shen Mochen and rubbed her bare arm.

Her makeup was still done as though she was going to a banquet, dressed in a white off-shoulder evening gown, indeed not quite suitable for the chilly night outside.

Shen Mochen considerately took off his thin coat, "Here, take this."

"Seeing how reluctantly you're offering it, never mind." Catherine waved her hand.

"Aren't you cold?"

"I'm not cold!"

"I really am volunteering, I don't want your body to be seen by others!" Shen Mochen coughed, "If anyone's going to see, it can only be me!"

Catherine hooked the corner of her mouth and finally took the coat and draped it over herself, "You're really stingy, it wouldn't hurt anyone just to look."

Shen Mochen's mouth twitched slightly, "How arrogant can you be! Would being a bit gentler kill you?"

Wearing Shen Mochen's coat and feeling the residual warmth from it, Catherine felt somewhat warmer.

"Do you still owe me a wish?" Catherine glanced sideways.

"If I remember correctly, your third wish was for me to attend your coming-of-age ceremony, which I've done today!" Shen Mochen puffed out his chest.

"What I meant was last month's ceremony, not this month's. Basically, you didn't fulfill it, so you still owe me a wish."

Shen Mochen was completely helpless, knowing it was pointless to argue at this moment, and could only drop his head weakly, "Alright, alright, you win... Tell me, what else do you want me to do? Surely you aren't going to ask me for the other sixty percent as well..."

"Do you remember what you said when you confessed to me before?"

"Huh?" It took Shen Mochen quite a while to realize she was referring to the lie he blurted out previously to avoid Gu Yange.

"What are you trying to do?"

Shen Mochen took a step back, feeling an ominous premonition.

"My third wish is for you to confess to me again, and you have to use the same words you used the first time," Catherine said with a gentle smile, "That shouldn't be too excessive, right?"

"In the middle of the street?"

Shen Mochen looked around. The evening breeze was getting stronger, looking like rain was on its way, and the crowd on the street was thinning out.

"Just lower your voice, isn't that fine?" Catherine poked Shen Mochen's waist, urging, "Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

"But I've forgotten, I can't guarantee it'll be exactly the same..."

"That's okay, as long as it's close enough."

Shen Mochen frowned, deep in thought; this was indeed embarrassing for him. But finally, he cleared his throat, "Ah, Catherine, I love you, I dream of you in my dreams…"

Catherine shook her head, "Not that one."

"Kajiena, you are the woman of my dreams, I love you with heart-wrenching intensity, I'm willing to exchange my life for..."

"Really cheesy, but not that one either."

Shen Mochen scratched his ear, getting a bit impatient, "Hey, you said close enough was okay..."

Catherine wouldn't budge, "But you're way off."

Shen Mochen scratched his head and thought carefully, finally saying uncertainly, "I, I love you to insanity, I dreamt a thousand times of kissing you, I..."

"Close enough."

Catherine finally laughed, and without waiting for Shen Mochen to finish, she stepped forward and kissed his lips.

With her unique minty fragrance, her arms wrapped around Shen Mochen's neck, her whole delicate body pressing against his, both innocent and passionate!

The two kissed forgetfully, unaware of how much time had passed, nor did anyone care about the passing time.

Eventually, Catherine released him slightly out of breath, she licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with mischief and misty like thousands of stars reflected in the river:

"Soft enough? Only 9,999 more to go."
