He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"Hey, you tigress, are you crazy? What are you yelling about?!"

Xuan Yuanwu's sudden shout startled Lu Chen, filling him with resentment towards her.

"Miss!"

The next moment, a ghostly figure appeared out of thin air, holding a kitchen knife and kneeling on one knee.

"Holy crap!"

Startled, Lu Chen took two steps back.

He was relieved when he saw the person's face clearly.

Isn't this the auntie cooking in the kitchen?

How do you have such an ability?

Could it be?

Lu Chen's gaze shifted back and forth between Xuan Yuanwu and Aunt Yao.

An outrageous idea popped into my head.

Are these two heretics?

They specifically established orphanages to brainwash children from a young age and secretly develop their power.

Depend on!

Could he have grown up in a wolf's den?

Lu Chen's heart tightened.

I regret it terribly.

Everyone says that beautiful women can act, but I never expected that the director who raised him for over ten years would be the same.

No, we need to notify law enforcement!

Lu Chen quietly focused on the communicator on his wrist, moving it little by little, trying to report to the authorities without disturbing the other party.

"Lu Chen, what are you doing?"

Xuan Yuanwu grabbed Lu Chen's hand, a playful smile on her face.

"Gurgle—"

Lu Chen swallowed hard and said awkwardly,

"Dean, I suddenly remembered that Canglong wants to see me."

It's extremely urgent! It seems his little brother is about to die, and I need to go witness this historic moment.

"So, I have to go now, don't wait up for lunch."

Lu Chen forced a smile and concocted a flimsy and absurd reason in an attempt to escape.

However, his wrists were firmly restrained and he could not break free.

Xuan Yuanwu first frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, and repeated in a low voice:

"Hidden Dragon? That chubby kid?"

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something,

His expression quickly shifted to one of realization, and he waved his hand dismissively, his tone nonchalant:

"Once it's gone, it's gone."

"It's not a big deal. If we can't be brothers, we can still be siblings!"

Immediately afterwards, her expression turned serious, and she stared intently at Lu Chen.

His voice was urgent: "You have more important things to do now!"

She turned to look at Aunt Yao, her voice quickening as she commanded decisively:

"Aunt Yao, take us to the countryside!"

"Let's go to the nearest Skull Cave!"

"Huh? Wait a minute!"

Lu Chen's expression changed drastically, and he quickly refused.

"Yes, Miss."

However, Aunt Yao, dressed in a white chef's robe, did not give him a chance.

With a wave of his hand, a dark shadow instantly enveloped the three of them.

Lu Chen felt unable to move his body, unable to speak, and surrounded by a cold aura.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe three seconds, maybe three minutes.

Just when he thought he was going to die, light appeared.

"Miss, we've arrived."

Aunt Yao spoke softly.

"This is……?"

Lu Chen's pupils contracted slightly.

They were now on a high platform in a cave, the lights were dim, will-o'-the-wisps flickered in the distance, and various skeleton monsters roamed below the platform.

Isn't this the Skull Cave, known as the graveyard for newlyweds?

But this is hundreds of kilometers away from their orphanage!!

What kind of ability does this aunt have to travel hundreds of kilometers so quickly?

Lu Chen felt a heavy weight in his heart. It seemed that he was doomed today.

No, there's one last way.

"thump!"

Lu Chen knelt down, clasped his hands in a fist, his large eyes seemingly about to burst into tears, and said in a pleading tone:

"Dean, please, for the sake of our many years of friendship, let me go, okay?"

"I know nothing!"

Please!

At this moment, Lu Chen looked like an innocent young boy who had been kidnapped, pitiful and helpless.

"??"

A big question mark appeared on Xuan Yuanwu's head.

What is this silly kid doing?

Aunt Yao, who was already dressed in a tight black outfit and wearing a cat paw mask, glanced back and forth between the two of them and gave a meaningful smile.

It seems the young lady has finally figured things out and wants to try something more exciting.

It seems I didn't bring all my things.

The space equipment only includes a tent and cooking tools.

Or, we can hurry up and go out to buy it and then come back.

However, let's see if the young lady needs it first; what if she wants a child?

"Lu Chen, what are you doing? Get up!"

"Isn't it always said that a man's knees are worth gold?"

Xuan Yuanwu, her face dark, twisted Lu Chen's ear hard with her hand.

"Ouch!"

Lu Chen staggered to his feet, feeling a burning pain in his ears, and couldn't help but exclaim.

However, he quickly suppressed the pain and forced a fawning smile.

"Dean, I'm just being pragmatic and knowing when to yield."

"Please don't get angry, sir. You'll harm your health."

"Dean, I swear, I really didn't know you were heretics..."

"No, no, no, I didn't say anything."

Lu Chen's expression changed drastically, and he covered his mouth, wanting to retract his nonsense.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Bang!"

A powerful blow sent Lu Chen spinning 360 degrees in mid-air before he lay dizzy on the ground.

Xuan Yuanwu took a big step and sat on Lu Chen's lap, her face so dark it could drip ink.

She clenched her fists and punched Lu Chen repeatedly, cursing as she did so.

"Lu Chen, you bastard! What do you take me for?!"

"I raised you with so much care and love, and this is how you see me?"

"Tell me, did you come into contact with any shady characters? Did they say bad things about me to you?"

"Lu Chen, you big bastard!"

Finally, after delivering 52.0 punches, Xuanyuan Wu stopped.

His chest heaved, and sweat soaked his hair.

"I made a mistake!"

With a pig-like face, Lu Chen mumbled his apology.

It seems that the reality is not as he imagined.

Otherwise, Xuanyuan Wu wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

"snort!"

Xuanyuan Wu got angry, turned her head away, and ignored her.

Lu Chen didn't know what to say, and the two remained in a stalemate.

Just then, Aunt Yao, sensing that the young couple had finished their flirtatious banter, slowly spoke.

"Lu Chen, Miss couldn't possibly be a heretic."

"If she is a heretic, at least one-tenth of the people in the Dragon Kingdom should die!"

"That amazing?"

Lu Chen was utterly shocked.

Doesn't that mean the female tyrant's background is so powerful that it reaches even the highest levels of government?

You must know that if one person becomes a heretic, the whole clan will suffer.

The only ones capable of threatening one-tenth of the population are those few founding families.

"Hmph! You know you were wrong now! Serves you right for doubting me!"

Xuanyuan Wu proudly held her head high and puffed out her chest.

The snow-white hemisphere, as large as a watermelon, bounced at just the right moment.

"Alright, stop worrying about it."

Xuanyuan Wu stood up, waved her hand, and let bygones be bygones.

She wasn't a petty person; at most, she would just make Lu Chen, who doubted her, do more work.

She put one arm around Lu Chen's neck and pointed to the skull below.

"Lu Chen, did you see that? Use your professional ability to mark a few and test the effect!"

so big!

Lu Chen's attention was drawn to the softness that was so close at hand.

I never expected this female tyrant to be so well-endowed.

She doesn't usually look that big.

"Bang!"

"I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

Xuan Yuanwu gave Lu Chen a sharp rap on the head.

She hates distracted people the most.

"I heard it! I heard it!"

Lu Chen covered his head and nodded vigorously.
