Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

Su Wan's voice echoed in my mind.

Honey, you're like a walking gold mine now, everyone who sees you wants to take a bite.

Lin Bai replied in his mind.

"You're so cheeky..."

"Let's go to the mission hall." Lin Bai straightened his robe collar and strode forward.

After his trip to the Crimson Land, he was left with a massive amount of resources and essence, which he needed to exchange for to improve himself as quickly as possible.

Qian Duo rubbed his hands together and quickly followed.

The two walked through several tree-lined paths and arrived at the domed Pioneer Mission Hall.

As soon as I stepped through the door, the noise in the previously noisy hall immediately dropped several degrees.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes fell on him at once, but after seeing Lin Bai's face clearly, they quickly looked away.

The atmosphere in the hall became extremely strange.

Lin Bai walked to the counter where tasks were handed over.

The clerk behind the counter was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. His gaze swept over Lin Bai, and the pen in his hand fell to the table with a clatter.

He quickly picked up the pen, his head bowed low.

"Hand over the exploration mission." Lin Bai tapped the table.

The clerk hurriedly adjusted the light screen, her voice trembling slightly:

"Lin... Student Lin, the system shows that your account has an abnormal blocking command, and I do not have permission to process it."

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow: "Who gave the order?"

"it's me."

A deep, cold voice came from behind.

The mahogany door deep inside the office area opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark red mentor's robe walked out with his hands behind his back.

He wore a badge of an eighth-level alchemist on his chest, and was followed by four fully armed law enforcement guards.

Qian Duo leaned close to Lin Bai's ear and whispered:

Li Kui walked to the counter, his gaze passing over the bespectacled clerk and landing on Lin Bai, a fake smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Lin Bai, you've caused quite a stir in the Crimson Land this time."

"The Xuanming Realm is issuing wanted notices everywhere, putting our academy in a very passive position."

Lin Bai looked at him but didn't reply.

Li Kui raised his hand and pointed to the side hall behind him.

"Don't worry, you're a member of our academy, the academy will protect you."

"However... the academy has its own rules."

"Since you are involved in diplomatic friction between the two sides, we need to conduct a thorough review of you to confirm the ins and outs of the matter."

"Student Lin... I hope you understand. After all, only if the school knows the reason can it better protect your safety, right?"

Li Kui spoke with a smile and a gentle tone.

"Alright, hand over your storage ring and all the alchemical artifacts you have on you. Come with me to the interrogation room to make a statement."

The students queuing around immediately dispersed more than ten meters, leaving a large open space.

People were whispering among themselves.

"Making you hand over a storage ring? What's the difference between that and being stripped naked and paraded through the streets?"

"What was the academic affairs office thinking? They don't require you to hand over a storage ring for the review, do they?"

"What do you know? This is probably the work of the aristocratic alliance. That's a resource-rich secret realm spanning three thousand miles. This kid is a hot potato now."

Listening to the sounds around him, Qian Duo felt a cold sweat run down his back. He took half a step forward, trying to smooth things over.

"Deacon Li, isn't there some misunderstanding here? Brother Lin, he..."

"Shut up." Li Kui glanced over and his eighth-level spiritual power materialized as it pressed down on Qian Duo.

The fat man's legs went weak, and he stumbled backward, almost falling to the ground.

Li Kui looked at Lin Bai again.

"Lin Bai, for the safety of the academy, we hope you will cooperate."

As he finished speaking, four law enforcement guards stepped forward and approached him.

A blinding yellow light shone from the cracks in the floor tiles, and a high-level binding spell was activated in the center of the hall, with a light curtain shaped like a bowl facing Lin Bai.

This formation can suppress even a ninth-level expert for a short time, so its strength is extremely high.

Li Kui felt this game was in the bag.

Even if the opponent has some trump cards, they can't cause any trouble under this layer of suppression.

Indeed, the dean has spoken, and no one is allowed to have any ulterior motives towards Lin Bai.

But the Dean's intention is that no one is allowed to use Lin Bai to exchange for those three thousand miles of resources from the Netherworld Sect.

But it didn't say that internal conflicts are forbidden.

His gaze swept over the group of students who were whispering among themselves, and a disdainful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Three thousand miles... Ah.

A group of short-sighted people.

What is a resource-rich secret realm of three thousand miles compared to Lin Bai himself?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong.

Why did the Netherworld Sect offer such a large reward for Lin Bai?

He is both a direct disciple and a resource-rich secret realm spanning three thousand miles.

Even if the Alchemy Realm were to hand over Lin Bai, the ongoing conflict, which could erupt into full-scale war at any moment, could be stopped at any time.

The key point is, they only want the living ones!

What does this tell us?

This suggests that Lin Bai harbors a secret.

This secret could bring the Netherworld Sect far more benefits than it had paid!

The aristocratic alliance has Lin Bai under control. As long as he is not sent to the Xuanming Realm, this is a matter for the Alchemy Realm itself.

The dean couldn't turn against him either.

No one spoke in the hall; only the buzzing sound of the array operating could be heard.

Lin Bai looked at the light patterns spreading from the soles of his feet and sighed.

Since I can't pretend to be an ordinary person, I can only pretend to be a monster.

"Looks like you haven't done enough homework..."

He had only returned from the Crimson Land for less than ten minutes when Li Kui rushed out impatiently.

If only he had done a little more homework.

Even if you randomly ask anyone among the tens of thousands who have just returned from the Crimson Land.

I doubt they'd dare talk to themselves like that...

Lin Bai lifted his foot and stomped heavily on the ground.

boom!

A dark crack tore open at Lin Bai's feet.

A giant hand, dark red in color and covered with dark gold lava patterns, emerged from the gap, its five thick fingers grabbing the yellow light curtain that was about to close.

It was accompanied by a teeth-grinding scraping sound.

The giant hand squeezed hard.

The binding array, which was said to be able to trap even a ninth-level expert, shattered inch by inch, turning into countless yellow light spots.

Immediately afterwards, a lava monster a hundred meters tall stepped out of the void, with most of its body breaking through the dome of the mission hall.

A violent heatwave swept through the entire area, and the parchment rolls on the counter instantly burst into flames.

The four guards from the enforcement team couldn't even withstand the monster's aura; their weapons fell from their hands, their knees buckled, and they all knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

Li Kui's fake smile froze completely.

His proud eighth-tier spiritual power was utterly powerless against this powerful avatar.

The high temperature curled his hair, and he instinctively backed away, his back slamming heavily against the edge of the counter.

Lin Bai put one hand in the pocket of his robe and took two steps forward.

The Power Body took a step forward, and a huge lava hand hovered above Li Kui's head.

"You want to take my storage ring?" Lin Bai's voice was flat and emotionless.
