It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Li Xianyu was discussing the exotic charm of foreign women with Kato Taka (both were theorists). The former said that only someone with extraordinary talent like himself could conquer foreign women, while the latter said that although he was not exceptionally talented, he was no less capable than Kato.

The two argued back and forth, each sticking to their own version of events.

Jin Gang sat to one side, watching the two veteran drivers chat fluently. He felt envious, but also saddened, thinking to himself when he could become as good as them.

Suddenly, Li Xianyu felt a chill run down his spine, as if a pair of sharp eyes had locked onto him.

Squinting, I saw a handsome blond man with blue eyes, who looked somewhat like Victoria.

Li Xianyu was stunned, not understanding why the other person was glaring at him with titanium alloy dog ​​eyes. Was it because he was the most handsome among the yellow people present, and the foreign guy was jealous?

"Who is that guy?" Li Xianyu asked in a low voice.

"Ryder Adrian, a rising star of the Superpower Association, named one of the top ten outstanding youths in 15, and a little master of combat." Murphy walked over in his black high heels, sat down, and called the waiter to order a plate of spaghetti, a fruit platter, and a glass of orange juice.

This was a four-person table. She sat next to King Kong. The big guy's expression changed, and as if avoiding a snake, he slipped away to the opposite side of Li Xianyu.

Kato Taka had no choice but to give up his seat and sit with Murphy. "You're a junior manager, why don't you sit over there? Only the Dharma King and Thunder War Maiden are present in the entire company, how embarrassing."

Murphy said irritably, "You call yourself a senior employee? Why don't you go?"

Kato Taka shrugged: "Not willing."

Murphy rolled his eyes: "Metoo."

Speaking of her colleagues, Li Xianyu rarely saw them except during meals. She heard that most of them were busy with work and rarely came to the company. Or they were living like reclusive shut-ins in an underground prison.

Leaving aside the branches in various countries, of the ten top-tier experts at headquarters, only one, Sanwu, has ever been seen. Then there are two hundred senior employees, and countless intermediate and junior trainees. Less than one percent of them actually reside in the Baoze Building.

"I feel like he's hostile towards me," Li Xianyu said.

"You?" Murphy snorted. "Why would anyone be hostile towards you, you weakling?"

Li Xianyu shamelessly asked, "Is it because I'm handsome?"

Murphy burst out laughing, her body trembling with mirth. "Oh my, you're quite the interesting newcomer. Didn't you see all the female colleagues' eyes were on that handsome foreign guy? Who noticed you? You're just a meme."

Perhaps because Li Xianyu is usually quite mischievous, she speaks casually, and her emojis always make people overlook her self-esteem.

"Especially that Ryder, young but very famous in the Superpower Association. Her sister is the team leader, and she herself is the legitimate heir of a bloodline family. She's also very talented. Because of the special nature of her ability, she often went abroad with the anti-terrorism team to do missions right after she debuted. Two years ago, she made a name for herself in the wipeout of an international criminal gang composed of bloodlines, annihilating a criminal team ten times her size. Ryder's ability played a crucial role in that. At that time, she was only 20 years old and became famous overnight."

"He also likes live streaming. I can send you the link to the foreign version of the 'Gu Yao' app. Do you want to download it?" Murphy said with a squinty smile.

"What kind of superpower does he have that's so amazing?"

"The Romesse is a monster from foreign mythology that lives underground. It has no eyes, but its hearing can reach the surface of the earth, and no sound within a hundred miles can escape its ears," Murphy said. "That's the foreign term. We call this ability 'Hearing the Wind.'"

"Jealousy makes me have a huge appetite." Li Xianyu took a big bite of beef, then suddenly paused, looking at Kato Taka: "No wonder he's hostile towards me. Did he hear our lewd talk about her sister?"

Kato Taka: "..."

Li Xianyu ate until his stomach felt like it was going to explode before stopping. The biggest side effect of his life-restoring ability was that he was easily hungry. He downed another glass of red wine in one gulp, let out a satisfied burp, and then left his seat to go to the restroom.

Walking through the corridor, I ran into Tongtong at the entrance to the men's and women's restrooms. The little girl was standing by the wall, tears welling in her eyes, her small body looking especially pitiful. Something must have happened to her.

Li Xianyu walked over and asked gently, "Tongtong, what's wrong?"

The little girl raised her face, her eyes brimming with tears: "A mouse, a mouse got inside me."

Li Xianyu: "???"

The little girl pouted and complained, "Sister Murphy said I almost killed Li Bai a few days ago, and she's going to punish me... That's so mean! I just joined the company and they're treating me like this. I thought they'd forgotten, but they just won't let me off the hook..."

She sobbed and talked for a long time, mostly complaining like a little girl. Li Xianyu was confused and still didn't understand what was going on.

Li Xianyu waved his hand: "So she punished you, and that's why you're hiding here crying?"

"No, that's not true!" the little girl shouted, looking very aggrieved. "Sister Murphy put a mouse in my skirt, and I... I'm too scared to go to the toilet."

ha?

Li Xianyu glanced at the little girl's skirt. The white princess dress revealed two slender, fair legs, and she was wearing ladylike square-toed leather shoes. Although she was clenching her legs and looked very scared, there were no rats around.

"There are no rats."

"Yes," the little girl cried, "in my skirt."

Li Xianyu lifted the lid and looked inside, only to see a cartoon character named Pleasant Goat and two thin little legs.

The little girl said, "The skirt... the skirt is a spatial artifact that my boss gave me. Try using your spiritual power."

Li Xianyu's eyes immediately changed. Was this dress a spatial artifact? It was so cool!

"Is it about gathering spiritual energy in your palm?"

The little girl nodded.

Li Xianyu tried to do as instructed, and after awakening, his physique improved by leaps and bounds. For a bloodline, developing a sense of Qi was just a matter of a day or two. Of course, in terms of Qi cultivation, he was still a good-for-nothing with no talent.

He gathered his spiritual energy in his palm and reached in, only to be surprised to find that his hand had entered a wide space. The fact that he couldn't touch Tongtong's two short legs was the best proof of that.

The space was quite large; Li Xianyu had to stretch his entire arm in before he could touch the bottom. Judging by the feel, he guessed that he had found a bunch of snacks.

......

The banquet continued, with the two bears seemingly determined to drink until the end of time.

Ryder and his friend Smith went to the restroom together, whispering bad things about the Baoze Group along the way.

Ryder: "This crappy company is quite arrogant, only two people were there to receive us. Many years ago, when Vice President Giger and I came to China, the Taoist and Buddhist Association treated us very well. There were young Taoist priests on standby 24 hours a day, and everyone was very respectful."

Smith snorted twice: "That Qin guy isn't even a true master, yet he acts like he owns the place. He won't even show his face. But whatever, our purpose here is to discuss an alliance. The Pantheon is about to open, and our great America must leave with a full harvest."

They turned the corner and their eyes widened suddenly.

The scene before my eyes was utterly depraved: a man was squatting on the ground...

The poor little girl had tears of grievance in her eyes and was about to cry out of fear.

The little girl pleaded pitifully, "Are there...are there mice?"

"I haven't touched it yet, but this magical artifact of yours has quite a lot of space."

"Hurry up, I'm scared."

"Okay, okay."

Ryder and Smith inexplicably recalled that season when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, when they first joined the Superpowered Association, standing under the flag of freedom and swearing an oath: to uphold the nation, to protect the people, to uphold justice, and to fight criminals to the death...

My blood was boiling with passion.
