Aerospace Ship.
"Just a few more hours until we reach Chongyang City."
Inside the ship, Zhang Xiaoxi was touching this and that, clicking her tongue in wonder.
The Source Point Research Institute was even more impressive than she imagined; they were traveling in an aerospace ship!!
Simply outrageous.
"Xiaozhang, Xiaozhang." Chen Qingxue approached, bringing a cup of coffee: "You’re quite lucky, just joined the Institute and already going on an assignnt."
Zhang Xiaoxi took the coffee and sipped it, scratching her head awkwardly:
"I have to thank you, Xue, otherwise I wouldn’t have been selected."
Though she was new to the Institute, she hit it off with Chen Qingxue imdiately; they quickly beca close, like lifelong friends.
Chen Qingxue smiled and said:
"It doesn’t have much to do with , I just ntioned it to the Deputy Director; it was your own hard work that got you through the review and tests."
She said enviously:
"With your talent and skills, it won’t be long before you beco a senior researcher. It took several years to get to this position... By the way, have you heard anything from your Uncle’s family?"
Zhang Xiaoxi’s expression darkened:
"Not yet, ever since the big incident in Jiangzhou, we’ve lost contact."
She sighed:
"But my uncle and they must be fine. I looked into it and found their files were tied to the Investigation Bureau, seems they’ve been transferred by them..."
"Investigation Bureau?" Chen Qingxue was surprised, pondering for a mont: "I’ll help you ask around about the Investigation Bureau later."
"Ha?"
Zhang Xiaoxi’s eyes widened:
"Xue, you have connections there?"
"What connections?"
Chen Qingxue rolled her eyes:
"You just joined, so you wouldn’t know, but our Institute holds a very high status."
"Even the Governor, when eting our Director, has to be polite!"
Zhang Xiaoxi’s eyes widened, the Governor?
Her eyes glazed over slightly:
"I have to boast to my little cousin... when I get back..."
The girl’s voice suddenly lowered.
That little brat, still not knowing if he’s dead or alive.
Chen Qingxue patted Zhang Xiaoxi on the shoulder, lightly sighed:
"Don’t worry, everything will be fine."
"Hmm." Zhang Xiaoxi responded gloomily, her lashes trembling slightly.
......
Waiting Area.
An expanse of barren land.
Chen Nuanyu dragged her weary body under the scorching sun.
At last, signs of human habitation.
Is it..... a black market?
Chen Nuanyu perked up slightly.
Though her newly acquired Flesh and Blood Divine Body had been separated, after half a month of infusion with a large amount of divinity material,
her body’s strength was no longer the sa as before.
Twelve Refinents..... she had long achieved it.
The power far exceeded the scope of the Twelve Refinents, reaching six or seven hundred thousand pounds in strength!
Now all she needed was a dose of Five-Elent dicine to unlock the great secrets within her organs.
She entered the black market and sat down.
Old Zhou took a drag of dry tobacco, his pupils slightly shrinking.
Running such a black market for so long, his insight was natural, imdiately noticing sothing extraordinary about this girl.
Though she appeared frail, she gave him a sense of..... danger?
Old Zhou approached casually, smiling as he handed over a product catalog:
"Miss, take a look at whatever you might need."
Chen Nuanyu flipped through casually, her eyes lighting up:
"Sir, how much is this Natural dicine?"
"Three thousand Pseudo Souls." Old Zhou’s smile grew even brighter; business was coming.....
He saw the girl’s expression stiffen.
She seed to be contemplating sothing as she looked at him.
Damn.
Another one.
Trying to steal the goods!
Old Zhou’s teeth ached with rage but the dangerous feeling emanating from her, perceived through his sharp spiritual sense was.....
Scarlet, bloody, even with a hint of [Deity]!
He shuddered inwardly.
"However."
Old Zhou maintained his smiled, though his heart was bleeding:
"I like your presence, I’ll give you one for free, how about that?"
"Really?"
Chen Nuanyu also smiled, holding the old man’s hand:
"Boss, you’re such a good person!"
Old Zhou chuckled.
Damn!!
His heart was bleeding, yet he still handed over a wooden box with difficulty. Chen Nuanyu accepted it, opened it, and her smile grew even brighter.
This black market owner, what a good person.
Truly a good person!
They chatted for a long ti, like old friends with nothing left unsaid.
By the ti she left the black market, the wooden box in Chen Nuanyu’s arms had increased from one to two.
Old Zhou waved from afar:
"Young lady, take care! Co back soon!"
"Okay!" Chen Nuanyu’s figure vanished into the wilderness.
The old man clutched his tobacco pouch with one hand, silently holding his chest with the other.
A vendor approached:
"Brother Zhou, in half a month’s ti, you’ve given away four Great dicines..... worth twelve thousand Pseudo Souls."
The old man’s hand trembled.
His eyes brimd with tears.
"Oh, what a calamity!"
...
Center of the Waiting Area.
Zhou Muniu received guest after guest, maintaining his position as a legislator with Hu Zhongli’s steadfast support even after half a month.
Once all the guests had left, only he and Hu Zhongli remained inside.
"Heading to Chongyang City the day after tomorrow."
The three-eyed boy scrutinized the old man:
"Have you broken through the Innate Realm yet?"
"Soon, not much longer." Hu Zhongli rubbed his chin: "More than breaking through the Innate Realm, I’m more eager to et the young one favored by the Servant."
Zhou Muniu chuckled.
Young one.....
He lowered his eyes, a fervent and reverent gleam in his gaze.
That is God.
The Central Pole Sect Leader, the Emperor of the Underworld, the Sin-Extinguishing Celestial Venerate!
Zhou Muniu took a couple of breaths, looking at Hu Zhongli:
"What are you planning to do then?"
"Do?"
Hu Zhongli paused:
"Naturally, to make a good rapport."
