The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and Gu Jiancheng was a bit dazed.
Dead… Monster Doctor?
How did Yan Yan know about Monster Doctor? Monster Doctor just died like that? How did he die? What was going on with that lightning and the Demon King’s aspect?
Gu Jiancheng wanted to ask so many questions, but they all jammed in his throat. After piling up for a long while, he managed to squeeze out two words: “Yan Yan…”
Zhan Yan looked at Gu Jiancheng in his big boss Deep Shadow state. His imposing aura was very strong, his eyes were very handsome, and his clothes… well, he was still wearing his work clothes from the cattle farm. The dusty gray work clothes paired with large black rain boots, and in his hand, he was still holding a super thick veterinary syringe for cows.
Being looked at by Zhan Yan like this, Gu Jiancheng also suddenly realized his own image. His expression froze for a moment; with a flip of his hand, the large syringe disappeared.
Although the situation was very urgent right now, Zhan Yan still couldn’t help but laugh.
“You leave first; my family is almost here,” he urged in a low voice. “My dad is the Chongming Demon King, and my mom is Tianshi. I haven’t told them about your identity yet.”
Gu Jiancheng: ?!!
Letting Xiao Gu bump into his parents directly using his Deep Shadow identity was simply too hard to explain. He had originally wanted Xiao Gu to use his ordinary person identity to farm a wave of favorability points with his parents first. Wait until his parents both accepted Xiao Gu as his boyfriend and their relationship was especially good; that way, it would be easier to accept when he dropped his Deep Shadow disguise later.
But now, his parents had only just found out that Gu Jiancheng was his boyfriend; they hadn’t had the time to establish any affection or understanding at all. To be exact, he was still in the observation stage. If Xiao Gu lost his disguise at this moment…
Gu Jiancheng was smashed dizzy by this news.
Yan Yan’s parents… Tianshi and the Chongming Demon King. The scene of their first meeting involuntarily surfaced in his mind… in the milk tea shop, the two of them watching him gulp down six cups of milk tea.
“Aren’t the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance… on bad terms?” Gu Jiancheng asked blankly. Waves of emotion surged in his deep black pupils, his thick eyelashes fluttering twice, making him look inexplicably a bit fragile.
“That’s a bit hard to explain; let’s talk about it later.” Zhan Yan’s expression was complicated to describe.
Gu Jiancheng was trying hard to recall. He hadn’t had any conflicts with Tianshi or the Chongming Demon King in the past, right…
In the past, when he was wanted by the three major organizations, he hadn’t fought with them infrequently. But he really couldn’t remember if he had fought with the Chongming Demon King or Tianshi. His mental state and temper weren’t very good back then; sometimes, if he felt someone spying on him, he would just charge up and beat them—that was how Black Wolf had been beaten by him.
Sometimes his five senses were trapped in hallucinations, and he wasn’t even clear on who he was fighting.
Tianshi… it probably shouldn’t be Tianshi. During the time when he couldn’t recognize people clearly, Tianshi’s state seemingly wasn’t very good either, and she rarely left the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau. But what about the Chongming Demon King?
Zhan Yan: “Anyway, you leave first. Otherwise, if Mom and Dad see you and know who you are, they might not be willing to let us be together anymore.”
Another reason why Mom and Dad could easily accept Xiao Gu before was that they felt Xiao Gu was just an ordinary person who couldn’t possibly hurt him. Even if Xiao Gu treated him badly, his family had the ability to teach him a lesson.
Even so, his parents still mobilized their organizations to investigate Xiao Gu thoroughly inside and out.
Although Deep Shadow was now cooperating with everyone, cooperating and dating were two completely different matters…
Gu Jiancheng’s face grew heavy.
Among romantic partners, he could definitely be considered a dangerous individual.
For Yan Yan’s family, he really wasn’t a very suitable match…
Ah… why was the situation with Yan Yan’s family so complicated?
If Yan Yan’s entire family weren’t ordinary people, then Yan Yan… how did Yan Yan know his identity?
Before Gu Jiancheng had time to ask, a scream approaching from afar shattered the tranquility of the grassland.
Zhan Yan’s expression changed: “Oh no, Chang Rui is still on the motorcycle.”
Back then, after he tossed his partner Chang Rui onto the motorcycle, he was yanked down by Monster Doctor before he had a chance to get on. The large motorcycle was on autopilot, and at top speed too; Chang Rui was probably frightened quite badly right now.
His previous shout had already alarmed the surrounding staff and other classmates; even the lawnmowers had stopped in fright, and things were in a mess right now.
The shadows beneath Gu Jiancheng’s feet stirred, preparing to forcefully pull back the large motorcycle that was running around everywhere with a person on it.
Zhan Yan: “Wait, I’ll do it.”
His sister’s super invincible cool large motorcycle could be remote-controlled. The screaming abruptly vanished.
The large motorcycle could not only turn invisible but also mute sound. He had only turned on the invisibility at the time and was pulled down before he could turn on the mute function.
A few seconds later, the lawn next to the two of them suddenly sank into a dent. A large motorcycle materialized in the air. Chang Rui lay sprawled on it, still in shock, keeping his eyes closed and screaming, not even realizing the vehicle had already stopped. Fortunately, the large motorcycle came with a built-in feature to protect the driver’s seat.
It was too thrilling. He had only spoken a single sentence to someone, and as a result, his vision suddenly blurred, and when he could see clearly again, he found himself flying at ultra-high speed at a low altitude.
Gu Jiancheng knocked him out without even blinking an eye. Let him sleep for a while first; they’d deal with him later.
Zhan Yan had kept the gossip posts open to check on his parents’ situation, urging: “You go first. My parents are almost here.”
Gu Jiancheng not only didn’t leave, but the shadows beneath his feet also began to extend, covering the entire pasture under the cover of the grass blades.
“I can’t leave. Monster Doctor attacking you means Infinite has its eyes on you too. The protective talisman on you is almost depleted, right?”
If Infinite made a move on Yan Yan at this time, the talisman on him wouldn’t be able to provide much protection at all.
Isn’t it just meeting the parents?
He wasn’t nervous at all!
…
A few minutes ago.
The Wan Yao Alliance and the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau were conducting a joint operation.
The two major organizations needed to integrate, and this integration wasn’t just for the ordinary members; the top-tier figures in both organizations also needed to integrate.
The conflicts between ordinary members in the two organizations were group against group, whereas the conflicts between top-tier figures were more prone to being one-on-one. For example, the Nine-Tailed Demon King and Da Wule, who had always found each other displeasing to the eye.
At the beginning of the integration, they certainly couldn’t force those with grudges to integrate forcefully. Pairing up those with good relationships like the Nine-Tailed Demon King and the Traveler to cooperate again was also meaningless, so they paired up two who weren’t very familiar with each other: the Howling Moon Wolf King and Da Wule.
Traveling with them were Zhan Yunkai and Ji Yueming. A single operation didn’t require four big bosses, but since they had plenty of people now and the goal was integration anyway, they all gathered together.
Lingzhou Wendi had happened to be on duty outside previously and still didn’t know the matter of Tianshi and the Chongming Demon King coincidentally getting married.
Zhan Yunkai was at the very front; with a flap of his wings, he cleared the path ahead, and Tianshi leisurely walked forward along the cleared path.
Lingzhou Wendi stared at them; no matter how he looked at it, he felt the way these two interacted was weird.
He glanced at Bai Po, who looked completely composed beside him. Why did the Howling Moon Wolf King look like this was so natural? Had something happened that he didn’t know about?
The overly familiar Da Wule leaned over and asked: “Hey, Bai Po, don’t you think those two are acting a bit weird?”
Bai Po: “Ah? Isn’t this perfectly normal? The person walking in front has to clear the path. Aren’t the two of us also walking on the path cleared by Chongming?”
That seemed to make some sense.
Lingzhou Wendi was fooled by Bai Po’s serious appearance for two seconds before suddenly reacting.
What sense did that make?! The Chongming Demon King can fly!
Beside him, the Howling Moon Wolf King, who looked only in his twenties, still maintained a serious appearance.
Lingzhou Wendi: Tsk, I knew everyone in their Wan Yao Alliance had wicked intentions. So old already, yet he transformed into a little white-haired boy.
Just as he was about to settle the score with Bai Po, up ahead, the Chongming Demon King and Tianshi suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura at the same time. It was fierce and intense, looking as if they wanted to start a massacre.
Stimulated by this, Lingzhou Wendi instantly stepped into the Yu Pace and pulled out his flute.
What’s going on? What’s going on? Did these two discover the hiding place of Infinite’s will?
Bai Po was also terribly startled; he transformed into his original form on the spot, his snowy silver long fur standing on end as he lowered his body into a pre-attack posture.
Eh? I didn’t sense any danger at all. What’s wrong with Tianshi and Chongming?
Lingzhou Wendi: “You guys…”
Ji Yueming’s voice rolled like low, angry thunder: “Urgent matter.”
The Chongming Demon King lowered his body slightly; Tianshi leaped into the air, landed on the back of the Chongming divine bird, and leaned forward to grasp the feathers on the back of his neck.
Da Wule was completely shocked. What was going on? Did Tianshi find the Chongming Demon King displeasing to the eye and want to provoke a fight?
In the next instant, the massive divine bird soared into the sky, the wind it brought up slapping him right in the face.
Lingzhou Wendi: ???
Bai Po calmly pressed down his white fur, not letting it get blown into a mess at all.
This guy definitely knew something!
Lingzhou Wendi stared at him fiercely: “What’s going on?”
Bai Po: “Ah, it’s nothing. Just that those two finally discovered they are a married couple.”
Lingzhou Wendi: “What did you say?!!”
The human and the demon enjoying the gossip didn’t delay reporting the situation. The state Tianshi and Chongming were in when they left clearly indicated something was wrong. It was definitely something they didn’t know about.
However, there was no need for the two of them to follow. The fact that Tianshi and Chongming didn’t ask for help meant the two of them could handle it. The operational task on their side still had to be executed.
Judging from the location provided by Rong Sui, there should be a Black Nest nearby.
While continuing to sense the direction, Lingzhou Wendi listened to the Howling Moon Wolf King gossip to him about the story of Tianshi and the Chongming Demon King falling in love at first sight while in disguise, his face filled with irrepressible shock.
Bai Po was very amused watching this. He had already finished being shocked alongside his great-grandson back then, and now he just loved seeing the look of others being shocked by this massive piece of gossip.
Gossiping didn’t delay their work.
Without the interference of the suddenly erupted auras from Tianshi and the Chongming Demon King, with Da Wule’s perception blended with heaven and earth, they quickly found that hidden Black Nest.
It was just that upon seeing that Black Nest, both of them couldn’t help but frown.
The Black Nest was already reduced to ruins, and above it hovered a large seal radiating imposing ghostly energy.
Bai Po: “This is Lin Yuan Ghost King’s seal. Didn’t he go into secluded cultivation? Why would he appear here?”
Lingzhou Wendi’s perception was sharper: “It doesn’t seem like he used the seal personally; it looks more like a triggered protective talisman. Looking at the timing… it’s about the same time Tianshi and the others left.”
He hadn’t been able to detect the activity of Lin Yuan Ghost King’s seal because it was covered up by the auras that Tianshi and Chongming erupted with at the exact same time.
This timing was too coincidental; was there some connection between them?
Meanwhile, in Mount Chaofu.
A streak of white energy exhaled from Zhan Jinli’s mouth and nose, winding around the demon core floating in front of his forehead with every breath.
This demon core had been separated from him for too long, and it had consumed too much when purifying the corruption in Di Ting’s soul; it needed to be refined again before he could take it back.
Under the cleansing of ghostly energy, the dim demon core regained its luster; layers of water ripples intertwined and flowed, faintly forming a pattern resembling Yin-Yang fish.
Misfortune is that upon which fortune depends; fortune is that in which misfortune lurks.
The white energy supported the demon core as it entered Zhan Jinli’s forehead, descending from the Niwan Palace down to the Tanzhong acupoint. After circulating through his body once, it rose back to his chest and settled in the Tanzhong acupoint.
The demon core that had been missing for twenty-seven years returned to his body, and the fragmented divine abilities merged into one.
Zhan Jinli let out a long breath; after opening his eyes, his gaze was as tranquil and clear as a lake.
He could finally speak normally! In the future, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of triggering his divine ability by listening to others talk! He wouldn’t have to pretend to be socially anxious anymore, and he wouldn’t have to worry about being used as a wishing machine by others!
Zhan Jinli was in an excellent mood.
When he walked out of his secluded cultivation place, he still wore a light smile; his brows and eyes moved with it, like spring water melting ice.
Wan Yan was guarding outside. Seeing him come out, his cat eyes widened fully round, revealing a hint of awkwardness amidst his pleasant surprise.
But it didn’t matter; he had a bigger matter that could cover up the awkwardness! Lin Yuan still didn’t know the situation of the family he had been reincarnated into.
“Lin Yuan, I have an important matter to discuss with you…”
Zhan Jinli’s smile suddenly froze on his face.
In that exact instant just now, he felt that the Ghost King Seal on his younger brother had been triggered.
“We’ll talk when I get back.” Before the tail end of his voice faded, Zhan Jinli had already vanished from the spot.
