SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

In a quiet, dark alley in the urban area of ​​Jiangcheng.

A slender figure dressed in black casual wear and white shoes slowly walked into the depths, a faint smile on her lips, her shadow stretched long under the dim streetlights.

A gust of cold wind swept past, carrying fallen leaves, and suddenly, a jumble of footsteps sounded behind the woman.

Several sinister laughs followed.

"What a beautiful girl! We're in for a treat today!"

"There's only one person, how do we divide them?"

"Divide it into four pieces, so no one suffers a loss!"

"The rest is mine; I can take a smaller share of the rest!"

Four sinister voices drew closer, their breathing clearly audible.

"Yes, I am very hungry." The woman suddenly turned around, and a faint, crimson tail wing phantom instantly unfolded behind her left side.

A faint red light flickered like a firefly in the darkness.

In an instant, the pupils of the four people who had surrounded them shrank, as if their souls had been ripped out. They scrambled and stumbled towards the alleyway exit, a soul-shaking fear rising wildly from the depths of their hearts!

"She! She! How could she still be alive!"

"ah--"

Before the words were even finished, the alley was already deserted.

With each step the woman took, a bright red flower of blood bloomed.

A moment later, the woman slowly walked out of the alley.

She looked up at the bright, full moon in the sky, took a key out of her pocket, and smiled again:

"go home."

……

Yunjing Residential Area.

With a "click," the door was pushed open.

Lin Mu was walking out of the room wearing a bath towel and shirtless. The two of them stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

With a "bang," Su Nianhe quickly closed the door.

Lin Mu picked up her phone from the coffee table, turned around, and went back to her room, leaving without looking back with the words, "Turn off the living room lights later."

"Hey!" Su Nianhe called out to him.

"What?" Lin Mu stopped and turned to look at her.

Su Nianhe parted her red lips slightly, her eyes sparkling: "You have a nice figure~"

Lin Mu's expression froze, and he stopped responding, walking straight back to his room and closing the door.

"What a boring man."

Su Nianhe chuckled softly, turned off the living room light, and walked to the French windows to stand.

She looked down at the neon-lit night view of Jiangcheng, and after a moment, her fingertip swiped across the phone screen and dialed a number.

The phone was answered instantly with a "beep," but there was no sound on the other end, and the air fell into a brief silence.

"Xiao Ning." Su Nianhe's cool voice broke the silence.

A rapid, trembling voice came from the other end of the phone: "Wang? Is that you!?"

"Hmm," Su Nianhe replied calmly.

"I'll send you my location in a bit, and you can pick me up tomorrow afternoon."

"Also, my information must not be leaked. We'll discuss the details tomorrow."

Without waiting for a response, she hung up the phone and walked towards the bedroom.

She paused slightly as she passed Lin Mu's door.

He turned and glanced at the closed door, a subtle smile appearing on his lips, before pushing the door open and entering his room.

Inside the room, Lin Mu stubbed out his cigarette and rubbed his temples with a helpless expression.

Tomorrow is physical education class, I can't skip it again, otherwise Mom...

Thinking of this, he gave a wry smile, set his alarm, and fell asleep almost instantly.

……

10:00 a.m.

At the central square of Jiangcheng College, thousands of students were running around the square.

A small number of people were completely exhausted and simply lay down on the grass, looking utterly content and resigned.

"Dude, do you think the academy is crazy?"

A chubby figure slumped on the grass at the finish line, panting and complaining.

"The first physical education class of the new semester is a 15-kilometer run! Who can handle that?!"

"This is absolutely insane! I can't even imagine what the days ahead will be like!"

Lin Mu looked at him with some surprise: "I didn't realize, brother, that you could actually finish the run?"

"Hey, don't let my weight fool you, I'm surprisingly agile!" Wang Yueban sighed, as if recalling some painful memory. "Actually, it's all because of the pressure my family put me through..."

Seeing Lin Mufeng's nonchalant demeanor, he immediately stood up, wiggling his round belly:

"Brother? Are you a god?"

"15 kilometers! And you didn't even break a sweat? You're not some reclusive master here to experience student life, are you?"

Lin Mu was slightly taken aback, then chuckled: "Have you ever seen a reclusive powerhouse who is a zero-level Awakener?"

"Hey, that's true."

Wang Yueban scratched his head and patted Lin Mu on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged!"

"If I can even break into the first tier, you can do 15 kilometers without even breaking a sweat. It's only a matter of time!"

"Thank you for your kind words. I'll strive to reach the first level as soon as possible," Lin Mu replied with a smile.

As time went by, the freshmen who had finished the long-distance run collapsed on the lawn one after another.

Suddenly, someone pointed into the distance, their voice excited: "Look! That's Ji Wanying, who's third on this year's school beauty list!"

"What era are we living in that we still have a school beauty ranking? But she is indeed quite pretty." Someone chimed in.

"Hey, you call that good? Dude, you've had too much to drink this morning, haven't you?" another joked. "Look at the photos of your girlfriend on your phone, compare them?"

"Heh... Once I graduate and reach the second-tier awakened state, I'll go straight to E'si in Jiangcheng Town. What a sight to behold then!"

The man scoffed dismissively, "This is just a way to fill the void."

"It's because of people like you that the term 'scumbag' exists!" A chorus of mocking laughter erupted from the surrounding crowd.

At the center of the crowd's discussion, Ji Wanying did not stop walking and headed straight for the corner of the square, as if she had not heard the noise around her.

"Hey bro, there's a beautiful sight coming our way!"

Wang Yue squinted her small eyes, sizing up the approaching figure from afar, and blurted out a string of numbers:

"90, 61, 89."

"You could see that from this far away?" Lin Mu asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hey, I'm not bragging, but the more you see, the more you naturally become... you know what I mean."

Wang Yueban's smile was slightly lewd, but the next second he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Brother! She's coming this way!"

"Could it be... hehe, that you were attracted by my looks?"

"I think you're right." Lin Mu shook his head and chuckled, unable to understand the fat man's inexplicable confidence.

Wang Yueban immediately puffed out his round chest, ready to strike a cool greeting pose...

But Ji Wanying walked straight past him, stood in front of Lin Mu, and asked in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Do you remember me?"

Wang Yueban's smile froze, and she awkwardly touched her nose.

Lin Mu looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Who are you?"

Ji Wanying chuckled: "I saw you in Instructor Chen's office yesterday afternoon. I didn't expect you to be so amazing. You're the first student in the academy's history who doesn't have to attend theory classes."

Holy crap! Wang Yueban exclaimed inwardly: This guy is actually this awesome?!

"Excuse me, I have a bad memory. Is there something you need?" Lin Mu asked calmly.
