"So, Sister Hanmei, go ahead and beat him up hard, and I'll cover you!"
Sebastian Xiao summoned Xi Hanmei once more, deliberately staying out of the fight. After all, Xi Hanmei could be resurrected if she fell, but he, if killed, would truly be gone.
Xi Hanmei: "…"
Wapol Shaw: "You're such a coward! Letting your woman fight while hiding behind her—what kind of man are you?"
"I'm thrilled you feel that way! You're a pathetic loser who has no one to love you. You'll never know the joy of being pampered by your wife!"
Rather than feeling embarrassed, Sebastian Xiao smiled proudly and hugged Xi Hanmei tightly.
To be honest, Sebastian Xiao now felt a bit of the superiority Siheyuan Xiao once had when facing him. Xi Hanmei's cold face flushed at his teasing, but she didn't resist—she accepted it.
"I'll go @#￥%*u0026!"
For a moment, Wapol Shaw was truly unsettled.
As king of the pirate world, Wapol Shaw was not short of women. Ordinary women there were top-tier beauties elsewhere, and Cyberpunk 2077 allowed one to craft "star puppets" in any appearance with enough money and effort. Yet such ease had dulled his interest—women were playthings, not treasures.
Xi Hanmei was different. Powerful, capable, beautiful, and sharp—someone who could run the hall or kitchen with a cold exterior and warm heart—she was irreplaceable. And most vexing: she already had a man. A man who, despite being a scumbag at times, received her unwavering devotion.
Seeing the couple flaunt their affection made Wapol Shaw's envy and frustration surge—stronger than the desire to kill. Even if this was another self, he couldn't stand it.
"Look, I'm going to tear you apart right now!"
The Tyrant Operating System had finished cooling. Wapol Shaw's killing intent peaked. Envy, jealousy, and hatred surged through him, driving a single desire: to destroy Sebastian Xiao and take everything he had.
"Sister Hanmei, I'll lend you my power. Strike him hard! Don't worry about losing. In this battle, except for me and him, everyone else can be resurrected, forcing me to reveal his trump card!"
Sebastian Xiao's phantom transformed into a massive lion, resting on Xi Hanmei's back, rubbing her ears and temples as he guided her. Through their blood connection, the power of the Dimension Farm surged into Xi Hanmei, amplifying her strength rapidly.
"Understood! Leave it to me!"
Xi Hanmei drew a long-handled Wapo alloy sword and assumed a fighting stance. Her aura flared, and the dimensional vision fully activated.
I see it clearly… now I see it clearly!
From her perspective, the world had changed. She could perceive Wapol Shaw's every move in higher-dimensional space. Shadows rose around him, shifting into entities; entities returned to shadows—every motion predicted.
Dimensional vision allowed her not just to foresee attacks, but to perceive the essence of the world, identifying weaknesses. While she could not see through Wapol Shaw's core, she discerned the weak points of his steel-reinforced body.
"Since you overestimate yourself, I'll make you feel my power. This time, I won't hold back!"
Wapol Shaw's fist grazed Xi Hanmei's hair, his killing intent intensifying.
At the instant of collision, Xi Hanmei vanished in a silver flash. When she reappeared, countless afterimages assaulted Wapol Shaw from all directions.
Her impenetrable Wapol sword cut through the air as she moved like a silver-white streak. Even with the Tyrant System's nerve acceleration, Wapol Shaw's speed lagged behind hers.
This was the power of time and space. Under dimensional acceleration and transmission, once you could read an opponent's movements clearly, a single instant was enough to strike.
Clang clang clang clang~~~~
Metal collided, sparks flew, and blood splattered. Xi Hanmei's blade left several deep scars on Wapol Shaw's alloy body.
"How is this possible?"
Pain surged through Wapol Shaw's brain. He refused to believe that Xi Hanmei—the same one he had previously beaten—could suddenly overpower him.
Even more, he could not believe she was faster than him. Despite activating tenfold acceleration, he was slashed multiple times in an instant.
Most disturbingly, his Observation Haki could not fully perceive her. Xi Hanmei's movements obeyed no predictable rules; she seemed to appear in several directions at once, like clones manifesting from thin air.
