Armor: Expelled and transformed into armor in front of the entire school

.....

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

The golden dragon continued to soar through the darkness.

That guy surnamed Jin actually dared to treat his master like that!

If his master hadn't just suppressed himself from coming out, he would have swallowed those little brats whole long ago!

"Damn it! A bunch of arrogant ants who don't know their own limitations, they have no idea what kind of being they are talking to!"

The golden dragon roared in anger, furious that something it dared not do itself had been accomplished by those ants.

"Hey Ah Long, that's enough already. All that flying around is making my eyes hurt." Balu waved at the golden dragon in the sky.

An Miu Xiu and Qiao Shefei sat next to him.

I don't know where Duanmu Yan and the others have taken them; it's all dark and gloomy.

I still have to stay with this stupid dragon, but it's okay.

Compared to being inside the dragon's belly, this place is at least more comfortable.

He took a meat bun from the bag hanging on his waist and stuffed it into his mouth.

This was a stash of goods he specially brought with him before he left.

I guess I'll never see my steamed bun shop again. Thinking about this...

Balu chewed on the bun while tears streamed down his face.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the sky, and they were drawn towards the light as if by something.

The intense light stung their eyes, and only after they groggily opened them did they see Duanmu Yan's face.

Duanmu Yan looked at Balu and the other two with a smile: "Balu, I have a task for you to do now."

Are you willing or not?

Balu clearly sensed that although Duanmu Yan had a smile on her face, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He was certain that if he refused, Duanmu Yan would immediately summon the Hell-Faced Asura, without even needing to use the Asura Purgatory Blade.

One halberd strike would be enough to turn all three of them into dust.

Thinking of this, Balu nodded quickly without the slightest hesitation, like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, as long as it can do good deeds."

"Even if it means going through fire and water, I, Baru, will not hesitate!"

Duanmu Yan nodded in satisfaction; it seemed that bringing them here was the right decision.

"Very well, then I'll get straight to the point."

“I need you to cross that bridge and ask the Oxher there to take you to headquarters.”

"Headquarters?" Balu hissed. "You're sending me to be a spy?"

Duanmu Yan smiled slightly: "You're still as smart as ever."

"That's right, it's about becoming an inside agent."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

He patted Balu on the shoulder: "With your silver tongue, I'm sure you'll be able to sneak in, and do quite well."

Baru was somewhat flattered, as this was the first time he had heard Duanmu Yan praise him so directly.

If he really succeeds in his undercover mission, does he have a chance to survive?

He looked towards the bridgehead in the distance.

The ruins were desolate, barren, and filled with the aura of death.

If an ordinary person were to walk in there, they would likely die.

However, I, Baru, am no ordinary person.

Could someone who has survived under Duanmu Yan's control for so long be an ordinary person?

Balu gave Duanmu Yan one last look and nodded heavily to him.

The three of them walked across the bridge without hesitation.

.....

Ramen shop.

Sister Qin was holding Ma Lingling and crying her heart out.

Her daughter, who was so big, suddenly disappeared, almost giving her a heart attack.

The loss of her son-in-law had brought her to the brink of collapse.

She lost her daughter again, and she even had suicidal thoughts.

If it weren't for Kuohai comforting her, she would have given up long ago.

Chapter 223 Infiltrating the Inside

When she saw Lingling walk into the ramen shop, she was completely stunned.

I thought I was dreaming, but after pinching my arm and feeling the pain...

Overjoyed, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

He ran up to Lingling and hugged her tightly, as if nothing could separate them.

"Okay, Mom, if you keep crying, your eyes will get swollen, and you won't look good then." Ma Lingling wiped her eyes.

Sister Qin patted Ma Lingling's head, "You heartless thing, you haven't seen your mother for so long, and you're already disgusted with me, aren't you?"

Ma Lingling made a surrendering expression: "Mom, stop talking, I'm starving."

As she spoke, she rubbed her lower abdomen, which immediately made a gurgling sound.

Sister Qin exclaimed, "Sit here and wait, Mom will go cook you a bowl of ramen."

"No need, Sister Qin, let me do it."

She was about to put on her apron when she heard that familiar voice again, which made her freeze in place once more.

Duanmu Yan walked slowly in through the door with a smile on her face, looking at her after a long time.

No, I should say I see him every day.

Because Aunt Hui and Sister Qin at the dumpling restaurant look exactly alike.

Sometimes, without realizing it, he would call Aunt Hui "Sister Qin".

So I never thought of her.

"Duanmu, you're back too—" Sister Qin's eyes reddened once again.

It's hard not to feel excited.

Duanmu Yan helped Qin Jie to a chair, where she sat facing Ma Lingling.

He patted the two on the shoulder and said, "You two should catch up. Let me handle the ramen making."

"I miss my place every single day."

Duanmu Yan walked towards that familiar spot, where the kitchen utensils were still in the same place.

Moreover, it was still as clean as before, without a single speck of dirt.

This effect requires daily washing.

It seems that Sister Qin can't let go of this place after I left.

Duanmu Yan felt a warmth in her heart; Sister Qin must have been working very hard lately.

They lost two important family members at once.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Yan clenched her fists, feeling indignant.

"Damn Oxel, it's all their doing!"

"Sister Qin's hair has turned quite a bit white."

Duanmu Yan silently vowed in her heart that she would restore peace to this planet a month later.

From this day forward, the Oxen will never exist again in this world.

.....

The three of them felt extremely uncomfortable as they crossed the bridge.

It took us more than half an hour to reach the other side of the bridge.

Dead city.

This was the first thought that came to their minds when they saw the scene before them.

There is no human being present.

Countless cars were billowing thick smoke on the roadside, their windows riddled with cracks.

The streetlights were leaning precariously, and maggots crawled all over the corpses of countless cats and dogs.

The sight made Balu and the others gag.

"Cough cough cough! What a nasty smell." Balu covered his nose and frowned.

It's like a steamed bun that's been stale for over ten days; it's hard to swallow.

"Who goes there!" A loud shout rang out, and several Oxens came running from all directions.

The three of them, including Balu, were surrounded.

Because they had come to seek refuge with them, Balu and his companions adopted the most humble posture.

The three men simultaneously raised their hands to indicate that they meant no harm.

Balu stepped forward and explained, "Brothers, we've come here to seek refuge with you."

"Seek refuge?" Pirate Oxer scratched his head with his hook.
