SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

The sound of running water from the sink continued as Lin Mu stood beside Su Nianhe, washing up in front of the mirror.

Su Nianhe changed into a sexier white lace slip dress, and Lin Mu could see her chest in an instant with just a glance.

But Lin Mu certainly wouldn't do that.

He stared intently into the mirror in front of him, but he still saw everything he was supposed to see in the mirror.

Su Nianhe broke the silence first, her voice gentle: "This feeling is quite nice, Lin Mu, what do you think?"

She deliberately moved closer to Lin Mu, making her stand out even more.

Lin Mu paused for a moment, then said calmly, "I don't understand what you're saying, but... these clothes of yours are too revealing."

Su Nianhe's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. She looked down at her dress, then glanced at her chest, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Lin Mu, this is what I wear at home, not for others to see."

She tilted her head slightly and teased, "What? Are you afraid someone will see me dressed like this?"

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow: "Don't overthink it, I was just saying it casually."

After Lin Mu left, Su Nianhe sat on the sofa, loosely tied up her long hair, and casually put her fair legs on the coffee table.

She looked down at her skirt again, muttering to herself, "Is it too revealing...? Hmm...it seems so, but this is my own home. Why is he making such a fuss?"

Finally, she made up her mind: "Then let's change everything, not just here, but all the places we live, to places that aren't too revealing."

……

The 22nd floor of the Bai Zhou Building.

Qin Jiang lay weakly on the bed, his chest wrapped in bandages.

Lou Ping stood by the bed, his eyes blazing with anger, and said indignantly, "Chief Qin Jiang, the central government's actions are simply too much!"

Qin Jiang waved his hand, his voice tinged with helplessness: "Alright, I've been sent back now, haven't I? They just did a simple internal inquiry."

"You call this simple? You spent a whole week in the central nervous system after you woke up..." Lou Ping was interrupted by Qin Jiang before he could finish speaking.

Qin Jiang turned to Kong Nan beside him and said with a wry smile, "Kong Nan, I really didn't realize you were so professional."

"On this trip, I practically took a detour to the gates of the King of Hell."

Kong Nan lowered his head, a thin layer of sweat glistening on his forehead: "If we don't take this seriously, we definitely won't get past the central government."

"I have a medical background, so avoiding fatal wounds is relatively easy for me."

Qin Jiang weakly curved the corners of his lips: "I see, you're really something."

Kong Nan pressed further, "So, Chief... what has the central government been asking you these past few days? Why are you being delayed in returning?"

"They have all sorts of things, and they even hired a lie detector. They really don't trust me at all," Qin Jiang said calmly.

Lou Ping's eyes widened: "There are people like that? Then you..."

Qin Jiang nodded: "The world is full of wonders, and besides, I'm not afraid to ask. We really don't know anything."

He paused, his gaze towards the two filled with confusion: "So... what exactly is the situation with that fire-elemental awakener?"

"He faced four elders alone, and was still able to kill one of them and leave unscathed."

"I can't understand who in this world could do that. The only two people who could have done it have both perished, and this person even awakened such a powerful fire-type power..."

Lou Ping and Kong Nan remained silent in tacit agreement, because they had absolutely no clue about this fire-type awakener.

……

At 1:15 PM, a black Maybach came to a steady stop on the side road outside the Duanshe Tavern.

Inside the tavern, Gu Cang had a cigarette dangling from his lips, smoke rings rising from his weathered face, and he exuded a sense of despondency, as if saying, "It doesn't matter if I live or die."

As the door creaked open, he squinted, took a deep drag of his cigarette, stubbed it out, and smiled at the newcomer, saying, "Brother, weren't you going to see your sister?"

Lin Mu placed his car keys on the bar counter and sat down on a high stool. "Yeah, what's up?"

Gu Cang shoved his phone right in front of Lin Mu's face and pressed play.

The screen showed the ancient city engulfed in flames: "So? You took your sister to play with fire?"

Lin Mu was slightly taken aback, then chuckled: "The speed of information dissemination online is indeed fast."

He briefly recounted what happened last night, automatically omitting Su Nianhe's part.

Upon hearing this, Gu Cang's eyes widened, and he lit another cigarette, his voice hoarse amidst the swirling smoke: "Brother, that's the power behind the scenes at the central level!"

"You just went and charged in by yourself?" He paused, then added, "I know you're strong, but you can't just go in head-on like that. Your confidence is a bit excessive."

Lin Mu smiled and waved his hand: "I know what I'm doing."

"By the way, Zhao Shanhe contacted me on the way back. I told him what happened. He came to Jiangcheng tonight and said we should have a simple get-together because there are some things we need to discuss in person."

"Just come to my house at 5:30 pm."

"Zhao Shanhe..."

Gu Cang nodded: "Okay, for him to specifically say he has something to do, it must be something important." He then followed up: "So where are you going later?"

Lin Mu pointed behind him, a helpless look on his face: "Class begins."

Gu Cang's lips twitched, and he suppressed a laugh, saying, "Sorry, I always forget you're still in school..."

Lin Mu: "…………"

……

The golden glow of the setting sun bathed the central square of Jiangcheng College.

The three-hour extreme training session had just ended, and the trainees were panting heavily, sprawled out in various places, their clothes soaked with sweat and clinging to their skin.

In a corner of the square, Wang Yue trotted over, her round body swaying, her chest heaving. She stared blankly at Lin Mu, who wasn't even a drop of sweat on his face: "Brother Mu, are you even human?"

"How can you train at this intensity without breaking a sweat?"

Lin Mu looked up and smiled, casually replying, "Actually, I was already sweating it all out. The clothes are good quality and dried quickly."

Wang Yueban was stunned: Brother Mu's ability to lie through his teeth is truly remarkable, he doesn't even blush.

He suddenly changed the subject, leaning closer and whispering, "Brother Mu, yesterday afternoon was Coach Cheng Xiao's first physical education class!"

"You dare not come? I've never respected anyone in Jiangcheng, but Brother Mu, I truly admire you."

Lin Mu said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense. We asked for leave openly and legitimately. Whether the college approves it or not is their business, but I've already gone through the procedures and notified them."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yueban's expression stiffened. How could someone skip class and justify it so confidently? He was momentarily speechless.

Just then, Wang Yueban abruptly stopped as she turned around, her expression suddenly tensing: "Brother Mu! Isn't that Coach Cheng Xiao?"

"Why is he coming this way?"

"Holy crap! Bro, you're in big trouble. Are they here to criticize you?"

After he finished speaking, a hint of anticipation for watching the show flickered in his eyes.

Lin Mu followed his gaze and looked up in confusion. Cheng Xiao was indeed walking straight toward him.
