[Just two days ago, a terrifying blood-red alert was triggered in Bo City. A commander-level winged wolves descended upon the World Trade Center, turning the entire city into a playground for demons.]

Fortunately, a high-level mage from the Glory Hunters of Shanghai completed a bounty mission in Bo City. She bravely confronted the Winged Wolves and saved countless people in Bo City. Let us express our sincere gratitude to this heroine and to the Glory Hunters.

Shanghai, the City of Glory.

Chen Qing watched the news report about the bloody incident in Bocheng, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. His expression was calm and composed, without revealing any emotion.

Hua Mulan brewed him a cup of jasmine green tea and said softly, "Xiaoman should be back soon, and she might be a little unhappy with you."

"I understand, but this is all I can do about it," Chen Qing said slowly, nodding.

"There are too many things involved behind this, and I can't explain why I knew in advance that the Black Vatican was going to attack Bo City."

"In that case, we might all be monitored or even imprisoned by Great Xia, because the Black Vatican is so notorious internationally that having even the slightest connection with them could make us universally condemned."

"I understand you," Mulan said, comforting Chen Qing like a caring older sister.

Just then, Ji Xiaoman pushed open the door and walked in.

She didn't say a word, but simply took out a vessel containing the spirits of the dead and placed it in front of Chen Qing.

"Xiaoman, you didn't encounter any danger this time, did you?" Chen Qing asked, glancing at the vessel containing the spirits of the dead on the table in front of him.

Ji Xiaoman looked at him and shook her head.

Chen Qing paused for a moment, knowing that Ji Xiaoman was asking him for a reason.

One reason why, knowing all along, a bloodbath would break out in Bo City, why it wasn't stopped in advance.

Chen Qing opened his mouth, about to speak, when Hua Mulan stood up abruptly. She smiled gently at Ji Xiaoman and said:

"Xiaoman, you must be very tired after being away for so long. Let me take you to take a bath first."

Ji Xiaoman paused for a moment, then nodded and followed Hua Mulan toward the bathroom on the second floor.

Chen Qing watched as Hua Mulan turned around, winked at him, and smiled gently.

With Mulan, a resourceful and capable assistant, Chen Qing certainly had a lot of trouble.

Inside the second-floor bathroom, rising steam billowed into the air, and the sound of splashing water echoed from the oversized bathtub.

Ji Xiaoman poured hot water onto her smooth, delicate shoulders, and her expression relaxed considerably, as if the hot water had dispelled all the fatigue of the past few days.

"Xiaoman, you've got quite a bit of a figure for your age." Mulan's soft laughter came from the other end of the bathtub.

Through the hazy smoke, Ji Xiaoman saw Mulan's slightly teasing gaze.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, perhaps from the steam of the hot water.

"Sister Mulan, what do you want to say to me?"

She changed the subject, a hint of doubt appearing on her delicate face, and asked.

"Xiaoman, I've heard about the Bo City incident, but it's not just a simple case of demons attacking the city."

Ji Xiaoman frowned slightly, recalling the muddy rain when she first arrived in Bocheng, and said softly, "Sister Mulan, what exactly happened?"

Mulan then recounted the information she had received from Chen Qing.

Looking at the silent Ji Xiaoman, Hua Mulan stepped out of the bathtub. Water droplets flowed down her smooth skin, revealing her full and exquisite curves.

She took off the towel beside her, dried herself off, and put on her plain white dress. She said, "Xiaoman, Chen Qing also feels guilty about what happened, but with our strength, we are no match for the infamous Black Vatican."

"One oversight could make everyone in our Glory Hunters organization a target. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. We can't be on high alert every day."

"Once we become strong, we will eliminate the Black Vatican in one fell swoop, and I will go with you then."

Hua Mulan understands Ji Xiaoman very well. Although she usually seems lazy and casual, she is a very righteous and passionate girl at heart.

She opened the door and went out, leaving Ji Xiaoman alone in the bathtub.

Inside the hall, Chen Qing had just converted all the essence in the Soul Vessel into points when Hua Mulan came down from the second floor.

Seeing that Mulan's hair was still a little wet, Chen Qing stood up and took out a hairdryer from the cabinet next to her.

Upon seeing this, Mulan pursed her lips and slowly curved them into a smile.

"How is it?" Chen Qing asked as he dried Mulan's hair while she sat on the sofa.

Hearing the whistling wind in her ears and the gentle stroking above her head, Mulan said, "I've tried to persuade her; she should be able to see things clearly now."

"That's good, thank you so much, Mulan."

"It's not hard work. As the team leader, I'm quite good at providing psychological counseling."

Hua Mulan raised her face and met Chen Qing's gaze from behind.

Looking at the exquisite and beautiful face in front of him, Chen Qing slightly averted his gaze.

Dunshan, with his large head, watched the two curiously and nodded slightly when he heard Mulan's words.

"Buzz—" (That's right, the captain is the strongest captain.)

Mulan turned her head and rolled her eyes at it, thinking to herself, "What a spoilsport."

"My advice this time might help Xiaoman to let go a bit, but she'll probably still harbor some resentment. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

"Hmm." Chen Qing nodded, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He had just filled the system with the commander-level essence of the Winged Wolf and some general and servant-level essences.

At this point, he had already accumulated over 900 points, which was enough to buy Ji Xiaoman a new skin and improve her strength.

"Alright." Chen Qing turned off the hair dryer, put it back in the cabinet, then summoned the system panel and directly clicked to purchase the [Speed ​​Racer Little Orange] skin on Ji Xiaoman's interface.

888 points vanished instantly, and Ji Xiaoman's profile picture suddenly changed to a girl driving a cool sports car, with flowing orange hair and wearing a yellow baseball cap.

The girl had fair and delicate skin, wore a yellow inner layer and a black outer layer, and high-waisted shoes that hugged her fair and delicate calves, making her look very youthful and beautiful.

Ji Xiaoman, who was still in the bathroom on the second floor, suddenly stopped, and her aura suddenly began to rise. In her mental world, the space, lightning, and light elements suddenly broke through the galaxy barrier and turned into a magnificent and dazzling starry sea.

In addition to these three magic systems, a ring of golden magic systems, as blazing as the sun, suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

This was clearly a super-tier fire magic possessing a minor celestial seed.

Ji Xiaoman emitted terrifying magical fluctuations. In an instant, she thought of Chen Qing downstairs. Her lips were no longer tense, but a faint smile appeared.
