I hate!

Squeak, squeak, how useless you are!

Does this mean I'll have to part ways with my sisters and live a quiet life as a fool in Peach Blossom Village?

If you can't even get the man you like, what right do you have to eat?

However, this fried chicken leg smells pretty good, though it's a bit spicy...

Waaaaah...

Wang Yan smiled and patted Zhizhi's head. Although he didn't know what the little girl was thinking about again, he still comforted her.

"Oh, it's alright, it's alright. Squeak isn't a little good-for-nothing. Squeak has a lot of good qualities."

"for example?"

Squeaky's mouth was bulging like a hamster's. She raised her head and asked hopefully.

Wang Yan thought about it carefully before answering her question:

"For example, Zizi has exceptionally good eyesight. When the Flame Demons were making their move, wasn't it thanks to Zizi keeping watch that we were able to deal with them in time?"

"Besides, Zizi is the family's comedic relief. Of course, this isn't meant in a negative way; Zizi livens up the atmosphere at home. With you around, the house is always lively, isn't it?"

Wang Yan took out a handkerchief and patiently wiped the grease off Zhizhi's lips, saying with a smile:

"Our Zizi is such a little ray of sunshine, how could she be useless? Don't say that again, okay?"

"Wang Yan..."

Critical hits deal massive damage and have an outstanding effect!

"Waaaaaah!"

Zhizhi dropped the food in her hand and hugged Wang Yan's waist.

Wang Yan looked at Zhizhi, who was wailing loudly, and was slightly taken aback at first. Then, he smiled slightly and rubbed her little head.

"Okay, okay, let's calm down for a bit. It's embarrassing to be out in the street like this."

"profound....."

Even Zhizhi herself didn't expect that she would be so spineless.

How could Wang Yan do this...?

No, no, squeak, squeak, you have to prove yourself!

And there's one last trick the older sisters taught us!

"Wang Yan! Which one...."

Zizi blushed and was about to raise her head to say something to Wang Yan when Wang Yan suddenly said:

"Judging by the time, it should be about time. Let's go. We've agreed to go to the City Lord's Mansion. I'll take you there for a nice meal tonight."

"Huh?"

Zizi was stunned. She was just about to launch a final offensive, so why was she suddenly leaving?

And so, Wang Yan, along with a bewildered Zhizhi, headed to the City Lord's Mansion.

As for Yingluo and the others, they'll probably play with Xihu for a while. If they go to the tea room now, Xihu might hold them down and dawdle for quite some time, so it's best not to go for now.

Wang Yan led Zhizhi to the city lord's mansion, where Butler Sam greeted them. Angelina had indeed returned, so Wang Yan asked Sam to take Zhizhi to a random place to stay for a while while he went to talk to Angelina.

"Squeak, be good, go find a place to play with Butler Sam for a while, and you'll get to eat something delicious tonight."

Zizi raised her hand as if she wanted to say something, but her lips opened and closed, and she couldn't say anything for a long time. She had no choice but to put her hand down, her face full of disappointment.

"good...."

After parting ways with Zhizhi for the time being, Wang Yan went to the city lord's office, knocked on the door, and went inside.

When I saw Angelina again, her hair seemed to be shorter, and her whole demeanor had changed from a mature and composed style to an intellectual and capable beauty. It seemed that Connor's departure had changed her a lot, as if she had become a different person.

"Lord of Emerald City, it's been a long time."

Angelina stood up from her desk, took two steps forward, and grasped Wang Yan's hand.

"Sam just informed me. It has indeed been a long time since we last met. I heard from Nytia that she was regretting not being able to see you last time you came. Now that Mr. Wang Yan has finally arrived."

After being led to a seat by Angelina, the two exchanged a few pleasantries. Then, Wang Yan asked Angelina about the contents of the meeting she had attended.

After all, the fact that she was allowed to leave for so long suggests that the five major powers are probably serious about taking this damned Church of the Deadwood seriously this time.

Faced with Wang Yan's question, Angelina was silent for a moment. After a while, she interlaced her fingers, placed them on the table, and said seriously:

"The defeat of the Allied Forces and the invasion of Bloodfang made the various countries no longer regard this church as something low-class."

"All the known forces in the middle level of the world that you can name, regardless of size, have gone there. The situation is more serious than anyone imagined."

At this point, Angelina pursed her red lips, then, as if considering whether or not to reveal the matter, after a long pause, she finally made up her mind, took a deep breath, and calmly said:

"War is about to begin, and it is the only war, to my knowledge, in which all the known powers of the world are united."

Wang Yan's eyes widened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

It was somewhat unexpected, but reasonable.

His understanding was superior to Angelina's, after all, he had intelligence from the Golden Rat, and the truth about the upper echelons.

The Church of the Deadwood ultimately originates from the top, and the best course of action would be to gain the attention of the entire middle class.

"It seems that Mr. Wang Yan was not particularly surprised by this result."

"I can guess."

"It seems Mr. Wang Yan knows much more than I thought. Indeed, when it comes to intelligence, he's always one step behind."

Angelina sighed, then slowly began to speak:

"Moreover, according to some dubious sources, this alliance even involves entities from outside the known world."

"Beyond the known world?"

This piqued Wang Yan's interest, because all he knew before was the so-called "known world," which was the territory encompassed by the five major powers in the middle level. Beyond that, it exceeded the limits of what ordinary people could travel.

For example, even if a human were to venture beyond the known world, the time required would turn a teenager into a frail old man, making it difficult for him to return.

This means that the influence of the Church of the Deadwood has spread to the entire middle class, and forces from outside the world will also be involved.

It might truly be the first large-scale war in history, with a scope far exceeding Wang Yan's imagination.

"Anju City's geographical location is relatively good, and it has been temporarily designated as a military port. If war really breaks out, Anju City will have to accept the call-up and take on the function of a military port."

"Mr. Wang Yan, the lower levels are very likely to be the main battleground. Based on a friend's reminder, my suggestion is to make some protective preparations as soon as possible to avoid being implicated."

Wang Yan nodded, expressing his gratitude for Angelina's kind reminder.

Actually, he didn't care much about this. If trouble really arose, the current fighting strength of Peach Blossom Village was actually better than some mainstream forces; it was just short of money.

Putting aside the token in his hand that could summon the Golden Rat Terrorist Mobile Team at any time, Wang Yan couldn't imagine what kind of idiot would be so foolish as to seek death with his own Demon King's double protection.
