As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

In the hallway, Su Xiaoxiao stood in front of the door, but no one responded from inside the room for a long time.

She felt like she was crazy; she had acted impulsively and come here. Even if Shen Qingzhen had a girlfriend again, it hadn't been that long, how could they be living together so soon?

"Never mind, let's go buy clothes first."

Su Xiaoxiao turned and went downstairs, explaining to herself, "I'm just going that way, that's all."

She felt she was worrying herself sick over these two.

Meanwhile, behind the door.

Shen Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief as the doorknob finally stopped shaking. This door could only be locked from the inside, which was why an extra lock was needed when going out.

Shen Qing said that he would call her personally when the food arrived, and the delivery person would not knock on the door.

But this time something was wrong. Thinking of the eye Shen Qing had mentioned, he suddenly panicked. Had he seen her before?

She had clearly tried her best to choose secluded places to go.

Shen Qingtang sat back on the sofa, clutching her waist knife, hoping that Shen Qing would come back soon.

……

On the other side, in the corridor of the base's training room.

"Ugh, I'm so full."

The young man in ancient costume stretched, a look of satisfaction on his face, while Fang Shu and Night Owl, the team leader beside him, couldn't help but twitch their lips.

A single meal costing nearly a thousand yuan on top of the national cost price demonstrates an astonishingly large appetite.

"Um?"

The young man in ancient costume glanced towards the training room. He could clearly feel that the temperature inside was higher than in the corridor, indicating that someone was cultivating.

Fang Shu followed the gaze and couldn't help but curl up his lips, full of smugness.

"My teammate, Shen Qing, is quite skilled."

The Night Owl team leader curled his lip and scoffed, "They haven't even been officially hired yet. Who knows which team they'll join later."

He already knew that his team members' mission had been stolen.

Although I said I hoped to curb their arrogance, this is ridiculous, they just rammed them with a car.

Why don't you use a rocket launcher?!

They are a clandestine unit, designed to remain unnoticed. They are typically equipped only with pistols, or at most rifles. Wouldn't it be easier to just use rocket launchers?

"Fang Shu, don't get cocky. You probably don't know about his bet with He Ying yet. Don't let yourself get caught out."

Surprisingly, the kid stopped causing trouble and playing around, and started cultivating.

He was distressed that his contribution points were going to be wasted.

The young man in ancient costume ignored the eye-fight between Fang Shu and the other man, and began to look at Shen Qing, who was cultivating.

"Only ninth rank? This blood and qi strength is indeed extraordinary..."

But that's about it.

The young man in ancient costume shook his head, looked away with little interest, and turned to leave, flicking his sleeves high. "Let's go, let's go."

As a formal disciple of the Crossing World Alliance, he had seen countless geniuses, including Master Du, who broke through to the middle third rank as soon as he came of age.

That's just how the world is. Aside from daily life, the only thing that's somewhat sophisticated is the so-called firearms.

Although I don't know why the elders seem so wary, even though their strongest is only at the sixth rank, they're probably just good people, otherwise...

The young man in ancient costume glanced one last time at the training room.

Just then, Shen Qing had reached the final moment of his cultivation, and his body temperature had reached its limit and began to drop. As the red color on his body completely faded, he opened his eyes.

The two exchanged a glance, the young man's expression remaining unchanged.

How to put it? It's very bland, almost indifferent, like looking at a random tree or a stone on the road.

"Um?"

Shen Qing frowned slightly, then quickly dismissed the strange look from his mind. "The tempering of my limbs is finally complete."

He clenched his fist, and the sound of metal rubbing together was also heard. Now only 26 skull bones remained, and the entire skeleton was fully tempered.

However, this is also the most difficult part, and he is hesitant to take any rash steps. He'll take it slowly tonight.

"It's about time to go on patrol."

The afternoon was spent on patrol, and there was still no news about the remaining demons. However, just before leaving get off work, Shen Qing received a same-city express delivery order.

"They came at just the right time."

The thought of having to go back and clock in after delivering packages gave Shen Qing a headache. Nobody likes going to work, and he was no exception.

Not to mention their branch director, who takes these rules very seriously.

Thinking back to how he was nagged for ages after forgetting to clock out on his first day because he wasn't familiar with the situation, he couldn't help but sigh.

The tree spirit sent the message suddenly after I got off work; otherwise, I would have had to go back to clock out before I could go home.

But no matter how helpless we are, the public work still has to be done.

"Hello, this is Ele.me Delivery."

Shen Qing stopped his electric scooter and looked at the gatekeeper of the obviously upscale residential complex. He couldn't get in.

"I'm at the entrance of the residential area, but I can't get in... Hmm?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded familiar. He had already reached the door and looked around. To his surprise, he saw an acquaintance walking out.

"Little one?"

Su Xiaoxiao walked over carrying a paper bag. "Shen Qing? Weren't you delivering takeout?"

"Ele.me Delivery accepts orders for both food delivery and same-city express delivery."

Shen Qing pointed to the insulated box in the back seat of the car, shrugged, and said, "Making money is nothing to be ashamed of."

"Oh~"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and handed over the paper bag.

"Perfect, these are the clothes you asked me to pick out, and it even saves on shipping fees."

Shen Qing took the bag and glanced inside subconsciously. Then he heard Su Xiaoxiao announce a price: "Friendship price, one thousand."

His eyelids twitched involuntarily; he was indeed a wealthy man.

There seemed to be only two or three pieces of clothing inside, I didn't even notice if there were any pants, and it already cost four figures?

His clothes were only worth about two hundred yuan, and he was still worried about the delivery fee... Thinking back to when Su Xiaoxiao got his snacks for free in high school, he really should save where he should and spend where he should.

"Okay, thanks. I'll have the big meal next time I'm free."

Shen Qing put the bag away; he had originally planned to ask about it after get off work.

"..."

Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, as if she was about to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, she didn't say anything.

Shen Qing didn't notice anything amiss, only thinking about clocking out of get off work as soon as possible.

……

Half an hour later, Shen Qing returned home and took out her key to open the door.

Shen Qingtang was reading a book, but she seemed a little restless, her other hand always clutching her waist knife.

"You're back?"

Hearing the sound, she looked up, her voice tense, and said, "Someone knocked on the door during the day today, saying they were delivering takeout..."

After listening to Shen Qingtang's explanation, Shen Qing frowned. First of all, the deliveryman today was a man, and secondly, he had requested that the delivery be left unattended without knocking.

At noon, a woman's voice came and said she was delivering takeout; it was obviously a fake.

Could it be someone behind Wu Yuan and his group? After all, this is the only thing he hasn't completely resolved since he made his grudge.

"Perhaps we should consider installing surveillance cameras?"

Shen Qing looked towards the gate.

The fact that they didn't break down the door suggests either they had reservations or it wasn't the other party.

Since it concerned Shen Qingtang's safety, and she also knew about the supernatural beings, Shen Qing did not hide anything and told her about Wu Yuan.

She shook her head, and suddenly a flash of cold light appeared as her waist knife was drawn.

"You don't need to worry about me."

Shen Qingtang's voice was not loud, but it was full of confidence. "As a bodyguard, I still have the basic ability to protect myself. Even if there are demons, I won't be completely helpless."

During the day, she was worried that the ordinary officials Shen Qing had mentioned might have come here, and she was afraid of causing trouble, so she was nervous.

But if it's an enemy, then it doesn't matter.

"As expected of the female head镖师 (bodyguard/escort)."

Shen Qing smiled and looked her up and down. "But she seems to have more of a female knight-errant vibe."

As expected of an ancient person, and a bodyguard who travels all over the country, she is very different from most modern girls, except that her clothes are a bit out of place.

"Want to give it a try?"

Shen Qing suddenly became interested and provocatively beckoned with her finger. Shen Qingtang did not refuse, and her eyes sharpened.

"good!"

After a series of rapid metallic clanging sounds, Shen Qing nodded at Shen Qingtang, who was slightly out of breath.

Although his raw strength is certainly not as good as his, his skills are more refined.

Shen Qing looked down at her torn shirt and the white marks on her arm.

If the female warrior were to have some hidden tricks up her sleeve, even a newly promoted ninth-rank supernatural being who hasn't mastered her innate abilities might not be a match for her.

"That's impressive."

"Alright, let's get ready for dinner."
