Chapter 107: You Understand Everything!
“Sister?” Wang Qiang looked over with suspicion written all over his face, “I’ve never heard that Lin Han had a sister.”
Feihua smiled and said, “Not a real sister, of course you haven’t heard of me. We only met a few days ago.”
...
Lin Han’s expression had darkened considerably. Feihua’s answer was reasonable enough—having a distant cousin was an easy explanation. But only knowing each other for a few days... Hanhan... This was just asking for misunderstanding.
Wang Qiang wore a look as if he’d seen through everything. “So, how should I address the young lady?”
“Don’t call her that!” Lin Han quickly interrupted, “She’s just a distant cousin. She’s always joking around.”
The next moment, Feihua pulled Lin Han to her side, putting on a pitiful face. “Hanhan, since when did I become your distant cousin? Why don’t I know about this? Are you planning to use and abandon me? Is it because I’m older and you don’t want to take responsibility?”
“Stop it!” Lin Han whispered frantically in Feihua’s ear, “Are you trying to ruin me?”
“Why so dramatic?” Feihua replied with a mischievous grin. “Since your friends have already met me, calling me a distant cousin is too abrupt. Why not just go with the flow? In a month, I’ll say I dumped you—it’s a perfectly reasonable excuse.”
“That does make sense,” Lin Han conceded, tongue-tied. “But even if you call yourself my cousin, you could just say you left after a month—it’s the same, isn’t it?”
“Not at all.” Feihua retorted, “What if someone brings it up later? It’s better to say I kicked you to the curb and made a clean break. Don’t worry, if I bump into him on the street, I’ll handle the aftermath.”
“Fine, do as you like.”
The matter was already out of his hands; Lin Han no longer felt like arguing. As long as he kept denying it, what could happen?
At this moment, Lin Han felt as if he’d invited a parent over...
“I’m Jiang Ruixin. Please take care of me from now on,” Feihua announced, stepping forward before Lin Han could react, instantly blending in with everyone.

“Ruixin, you’re so beautiful!” Liu Yunyun responded warmly.
Feihua took Liu Yunyun’s arm, laughing, “At my age, how can I compare to you young people? Youth is what matters. Nowadays, as soon as men see a young girl, they want to use and abandon her.”
“Yun, let me tell you, you have to keep an eye out. Men are the least trustworthy.”
Liu Yunyun said awkwardly, “Actually, Brother Lin is alright. Wang Qiang says Lin Han is very loyal.”
“You see, that’s what you don’t know.” Feihua shook her head. “Loyalty doesn’t mean he’s devoted in matters of the heart. Men are impulsive creatures.”
“Let’s not talk about these rotten men. Yun, your perfume is from Feichi’s classic collection, isn’t it? I really like that one too.”
“You know it, Ruixin? This perfume isn’t very popular—few people use it.”
“Of course I know. Let me recommend you—”
Lin Han stared, dumbfounded at Feihua’s seamless integration. That was fast—almost unbelievable.
Wang Qiang took the opportunity to pull Lin Han aside, speaking righteously, “Where’d you find this sister? And you have the nerve to criticize me—you move even faster than I do!”
“You’ve only been gone a few days and things have gotten this far. Have you met the parents?”
“What do Uncle and Aunt think? Can they accept someone older than you?”
Lin Han rolled his eyes. “What are you even talking about? We’ve only known each other a few days—it’s not as complicated as you think.”
“But you’re already bringing her along for a dungeon run?” Wang Qiang looked skeptical. “You’re keeping everything from me these days, not telling me anything.”
“There’s nothing to tell.” Lin Han sighed—he’d only met her last night, but he worried telling Wang Qiang that would make things worse.
“Alright, she may be a bit older, but she’s definitely a beauty.” Wang Qiang smiled meaningfully. “Not bad—you’ve completed your life.”
“Get lost,” Lin Han grumbled.
...
“Let’s head to the teleportation array. We’ll enter the dungeon soon.”
“Alright.”
They took the teleportation array to the dungeon hall, the same place as last time when they entered the Silver-tier dungeon.

On the way to reception, Feihua returned to Lin Han’s side, looking triumphant. “See? Your brother’s girlfriend is completely under my thumb now—their relationship will definitely heat up from here.”
“What does that have to do with you?” Lin Han asked, puzzled.
Feihua explained, “It’s got everything to do with me. When I talked to her, I was subtly influencing her mindset. I could tell she really likes your brother.”
“Now all it needs is a little push, and the two of them will be together in no time.”
“You actually understand this?” Lin Han laughed. “I never expected you, the Blade Goddess, who usually acts like an idiot, to have feelings.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.” Feihua retorted, “I am the Blade Goddess—do you know how prestigious the Supreme Realm is? Not everyone can reach it.”
“I know—you have cultivation talent. But what does that have to do with emotions? Aren’t assassins supposed to be cold-blooded?”
“That’s just bias, Lin Han. Who says assassins are cold-blooded?” Feihua said, disgruntled. “Assassins have to learn a lot—reading people’s feelings is basic.”
“I guess I’ve learned something new.”
Lin Han continued, “But you were bare-faced last night, and you’re bare-faced today. How does someone who never wears makeup know about cosmetics?”
“Of course! I’m naturally beautiful; I don’t need makeup.” Feihua declared proudly.
“I never wear makeup, but I need to know about it. To assassinate a target, you have to disguise yourself, sometimes even understand their preferences.”
“You have to know everything.”
“I remember once, I was after a target—a crazy woman who loved that perfume. Talking about perfume was how I got close to her...”
Lin Han laughed awkwardly, “You don’t need to go into such detail.”
“You didn’t believe me, did you? As a professional assassin, I can’t let my employer doubt me.”
“So, don’t you think hiring me for five hundred million was worth every penny?”
“Boss, how about renewing my contract for another year? Satisfaction guaranteed!”
“Not renewing...” Lin Han replied decisively.
