Trafford’s Trading Club

Li Bai produced a bottle that looked as if it were crafted from mutton-fat jade, and he collected the souls of the two [Xing Huang] into it.

Seeing this, A'Nan could only lament in her heart… these two [Xing Huang] who had finally reunited must be worth a lot of money, right?

But Miss Nan had no intention of squeezing any gold coins out of Li Bai.

After all, Old Gao had run away, and if the boss ignored her… then theoretically, wouldn't she be blown up by Li Bai?

"I will take you back," Li Bai said softly as he retrieved the bottle.

"Congratulations, congratulations," A'Nan sincerely congratulated him… after all, since leaving the 003 small world, Li Bai had spent most of his time searching for the [Xing Huang] that had once appeared in the [Penglai Treasure Vault].

Li Bai thought for a moment and said, "Just now, this [Xing Huang] captured by the [Pingtian] Group left me a wisp of its will. Originally, it was also nearing the end of its life and was returning to its [Homeland]… but it was transferred out when the [Xing Huang Homeland] was destroyed. In reality, it has very little life left."

A'Nan nodded. This also explained why the First Research Institute was able to open the coordinates of the [Xing Huang Homeland] during their experiments… probably because of the powerful obsession with returning to the [Homeland] upon death.

It could have chosen to end its own life and not endure the pain of constantly being used as a test subject… it mostly persisted until now because it sensed the presence of another [Xing Huang] in [Azure].

"This is some of what it encountered when it fell out of the space-time tunnel." At this moment, Li Bai waved his hand towards A'Nan, and a sword energy condensed from memory instantly shot into the center of A'Nan's brow. "Perhaps it will be useful to you… and your boss."

After receiving this memory, A'Nan's expression immediately turned serious. "Yes, I think our boss should be interested. Thank you!"

Li Bai waved his hand and said indifferently, "After all, you helped me find it… well then, I'll take my leave." Saying that, Li Bai casually glanced at Dr. [Yaohua] and directly left with [Black Mountain Little Demon]… to Li Bai, Dr. [Yaohua] was just a stranger.

In the underground pipeline, after Li Bai left with his people, it became even quieter… After a long time, Dr. [Yaohua] sighed softly, gazing at [Tank], who still looked like a mutated being, with a complex expression.

At this moment, she didn't even feel the stinging pain that should accompany the death of a loved one. She only felt some sadness—perhaps sadness for her incomplete memories.

"I am not a complete person." Dr. [Yaohua] shook her head, walked to [Tank]'s side, squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to stroke his eyes, gently closing them. "I'm sorry, I couldn't fulfill your expectations until the end."

It was just a sad little interlude. Dr. [Yaohua] was incomplete, perhaps her ending was predetermined.

A'Nan glanced at her casually… So, that's why the boss entrusted her to me?

—There… won't be what he expects to happen here.

"What are you planning to do in the future?" A'Nan suddenly asked.

"I don't know," Dr. [Yaohua] smiled bitterly. "I don't really have a past. As for the future… I don't know either."

"Are you interested in coming to work by my side?" A'Nan chuckled. "Although you don't have a past, the bloodline curse on your body still exists. The curse directly altered the genes of you descendants of the [Fire King] Group… it's actually a kind of defective gene, so even if you are a clone, the defect still exists."

"…How long can I live?" Dr. [Yaohua] asked after a long silence.

A'Nan said, "Those cursed [Fire King] employees don't live past forty… but you are a clone, so it might be even faster."

Dr. [Yaohua] was silent again.

"I can help you solve the defects in your body," A'Nan said directly. "The premise is that you need to work for me."

"What can I do?" Dr. [Yaohua] couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In the [Will World], she was hunted down as a wanted criminal… perhaps it's the same now. As a researcher for the [Pingtian] Group, perhaps she will be treated like a rat crossing the street after the world learns what the [Pingtian] Group has done.

"The [Pingtian] Group won't have that kind of situation," A'Nan said confidently. "Soon, it will be reborn from the ashes and reintegrated. Since the real Wang Yaohua is gone, then from now on, you are the only Wang Yaohua here. Use the knowledge you have to create value for me… or perhaps, you prefer to live in anonymity, turning into dust in ten or eight years?"

Dr. [Yaohua] looked deeply at A'Nan, and said expressionlessly, "I think we can discuss the issue of compensation next."

A'Nan immediately cracked a slight smile. Of course, it was: OJBK!

… …

… …

Batches of supplies were constantly transported to [Fire Cloud City] through Zhao Wumian's channels.

Soon after, the support troops dispatched by the Second Moluo also arrived.

The construction of the [Holy Emperor Dojo] was not put on hold. On the contrary, because the [Infinite City] had disappeared, the construction period became shorter… The [Jinghong] Battleship directly landed in the area of the original [Infinite City].

With the [Luoshen] Holy Land stationed there, no chaos occurred around the [Fire Cloud City] area, and there was no infighting in the [Fire Cloud] army.

With the support of Li Qingtong, the Holy Lord of [Luoshen], Honghai, the orphan of Mayor Tie Luosha, temporarily took over the position of mayor.

People enthusiastically threw themselves into the reconstruction of the city.

After a huge disaster, the inherent class structure of the city itself was broken… allowing those with dreams to find a corner of the Heavenly Palace that had been lifted up and squeeze into it.

… …

… …

Lin SIR successfully picked up Lin Dad and Lin Mom, and through special care, they obtained a new resettlement residence very early… During the reconstruction of [Fire Cloud City], he did not appear in public again.

He spent almost all of his time accompanying his family and friends… and occasionally went to the cemetery in the southern suburbs to chat with Lin Youde for a while.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Jun sent a message that the ship contacted by the [Hidden Society] for pick-up had arrived.

It was time to leave.

"Are you leaving… …"

Meixue carefully tidied up the clothes on Ah Lin SIR.

"Yes."

Ah Lin SIR nodded gently.

Perhaps good girls shouldn't be missed… When the resettlement residence was distributed, Meixue was found by Ah Lin SIR and brought over.

"In the future, all the resources that [Nantianmen] gives me will be transferred to your account," Ah Lin SIR gently hugged her. "Help me take care of Lin Dad and Lin Mom."

Meixue nodded gently, "They haven't woken up yet. You should leave early so the old folks don't have to see this kind of scene. I'll explain it to them, don't worry."

Lin SIR didn't say too much… He had said most of what he needed to say these days.

With a flash of space, the passage of the shallow void had already opened, and Ah Lin SIR slowly stepped into it.

Meixue exhaled a long breath, opened the window, the morning light was slightly bright, she lowered her head and stroked her lower abdomen, muttering, "This activity is too strong… …"

… …

In the shallow void, Bai Jun was already waiting.

"Finally willing to say goodbye to your little lover?"

"Thanks," Ah Lin SIR glanced at Bai Jun. "The people from the [Hidden Society] should have arrived long ago, right? You've been waiting a few extra days."

Bai Jun shrugged, "Although it's cruel, I have to remind you that your life has evolved to immortality. The people in the small world will always be your passersby. You shouldn't give that girl named Meixue too much hope… She has no possibility of becoming a [Morning Star], or even [Breaking Limits]."

"My bloodline will," Lin Feng said indifferently.

Regarding Meixue, Ah Lin SIR was actually quite complicated. He didn't know if it was to fulfill the expectations of Lin Dad and Lin Mom, or if he couldn't ignore Meixue's feelings, or if he just felt that he needed to leave something behind in [Azure].

In short, he felt that he had truly grown up, from a big boy into a real man.

"Bloodline, huh…" Bai Jun shook her head, "I wonder what those 【Hua Xu】 ancient clans would think if they knew you left descendants so easily."

Lin SIR was no longer a big boy. Facing Bai Jun's sarcasm, he just smiled calmly, "Where's the person picking you up?"

Bai Jun rolled her eyes and then replied, "Outside the Tongtian Avenue Diagram. I didn't disclose the coordinates of 【Azure】. They just think I'm trapped in an unknown area of the void… This time, it's the rescue department from the 【Hidden Society】."

Lin SIR nodded, feeling a little more grateful for Bai Jun's carefulness.

Just then, a divine light flashed through the shallow void, striking towards the distance… In the distance, at the edge of the Tongtian Avenue Diagram, the space surged for a moment, and then a small gap opened automatically.

"Let's go. The Venerable has opened the passage of the Diagram for me."

Lin SIR took a deep breath, turned around and bowed deeply towards the place where the divine light struck, then transformed into a ray of light and moved forward.

Bai Jun finally glanced at this place. She had lingered in 【Azure】 for thousands of years—thousands of years are very long for a small world, but very common for a void immortal.

In the headquarters of the 【Hidden Society】, she had only been out of contact for a period of time, not even triggering the minimum standard for the 【Hidden Society】 to search for missing cadres…

… …

Not long after Lin SIR and Bai Jun walked out of the shallow void, the 【Forbidden Goria】, which was also parked on the other side of the shallow void, started up again.

The warship space of the 【Forbidden Goria】 had now been changed into a landscape of mountains and peaks.

Beside a huge waterfall, a thatched hut was built.

Li Bai took 【Black Mountain Imp】 and embarked on his void journey again.

Although he didn't make a contract with Li Bai, 【Goria】 still served him carefully, "Master, may I ask where you are going next? If you can provide the coordinates, I can plan the route in advance."

"【Primordial】 Channel, Third Node," Li Bai said directly, "【Land of Chenghuang】, I'll give you the coordinates later."

【Goria】 immediately widened her eyes. So fierce right from the start… As a biological warship with a natural 【Divine Art】 seed, 【Goria】 had never actually reached the Third Node.

Not to mention the Third Node, even the Second Node, its previous master, Earl 【Phinestin】, couldn't survive, and in the end, he could only hang around in the 【Void Sea】 of the First Node, occasionally returning to the 【Science Side】 to repair his fragile heart as his title Earl…

"What's wrong?" Li Bai couldn't help but frown… 【Goria】's expression seemed a little strange.

【Goria】 shook her head quickly, "There's no problem going to the Third Node. It's best if you have the coordinates… However, Master, which channel do you need to cross specifically for the coordinates you gave? 【Yuan Kong Deep Sea】? 【Weiyang Galaxy】? 【Withered Blood Abyss】… Or something else?"

Li Bai was stunned.

The areas that 【Goria】 mentioned are the most dangerous secret realms in the Second Node of the channel… and also the places where you can find the entrance to the Third Node.

Of course, there are more than just the secret realms mentioned above… Moreover, most of the immortal powerhouses who enter these secret realms will get lost in them.

Anyway, the entrance is in those places, whether you can find it with your own ability… is almost like metaphysics—of course, if someone brings you in, that's another matter.

"【Weiyang Galaxy】," Li Bai thought for a while and said. He had been wandering in the 【Weiyang Galaxy】 back then, and only by relying on a trace of induction with the 【Chenghuang】 cub did he successfully enter the Third Node and find the 【Land of Chenghuang】.

"Then… Master, do you have a pass?" 【Goria】 asked hesitantly.

"What pass?" Li Bai put down the wine pot in his hand and frowned.

【Goria】 said, "Currently, all the secret realms where the entrance to the Third Node has been discovered have been sealed off. The giant forces of the 【Four Sides】 have established heavy troops in all the secret realms through joint conferences, and dispatched powerful 【Radiant Moon-level】 immortals to sit there… Only by holding the pass given by these giant forces can you enter the secret realm to explore…"

"Why is this happening?" Li Bai was stunned.

He only fell into 【Azure】 for a short time… only a few decades, but considering the time problem in the void, especially after the nodes, he was slightly relieved—the key is the actions of the giant forces of the 【Four Sides】.

"Why control the channel of advancement?" 【Goria】 lowered her head, "The giant forces of the Four Sides believe that more and more void newcomers are beginning to not know awe… The Third Node is just the beginning, then the Second Node will be the same, and in the end, I'm afraid only the 【Void Sea】 is free, after all, as long as you have the strength, you can enter the 【Void Sea】 anywhere…"

"Heh… these vested interests," Li Bai sneered dismissively, shaking his head and saying, "No wonder that fellow 【Long Yang】 is always fooling me into joining the organization."

"Long Yang?" 【Goria】 was stunned, and subconsciously said, "Is Master talking about 【Lord Long Yang】, who is quite famous in the 【Transcendent】 organization?"

"Oh, you know 【Lord Long Yang】?" Li Bai asked curiously.

【Goria】 nodded, "Of course, as one of the giant organizations of the Four Sides, the 【Transcendent】 organization's every move is naturally closely watched… The information I have collected shows that 【Lord Long Yang】 seems to already be a 【Throne】 candidate in the organization."

After a pause, 【Goria】 looked at Li Bai's expression, "In fact, the sealing of the nodes… is to prevent organizations like 【Transcendent】 from appearing again in the future. After all, compared to the 【Hidden Society】 and 【Gate of Truth】, 【Transcendent】 shows more aggressiveness."

"Dog fart," Li Bai waved his hand with a bored look, "You just drive to 【Weiyang Galaxy】, no one can stop me from entering the Third Node."

After saying that, without waiting for 【Goria】 to react, Li Bai spread out his hand, and a rhombus-shaped crystal automatically floated from the palm of his hand.

"This is… 【Proof of Glory】!" 【Goria】's eyes widened immediately, "Master, you actually got the approval of the Third Node!!"

I really haven't hugged someone's thigh!!

Being able to enter the Third Node and obtaining the 【Proof of Glory】 in the Third Node… are two different concepts!!

Gonna… gonna get wet!

… …

… …

Gonna… gonna die!

Earl 【Phinestin】 fell to the ground, twitching non-stop, almost howling, "I'm willing… I'm willing… I'll do anything! I'll cooperate… Please, let me go!"

So 【Wolfred】 silently retracted the whip, swayed the two water balls hanging on his body, and reported to his adoptive mother about the success of 【Phinestin】's transfer… defection!

"Oh? Defection successful?" Ah Nan received the message and walked out of the bathtub… Miss Xiangxiang, who had transformed into Red Boy, quickly put on a bathrobe for her, "Then let's start, our 【Science Side】 journey!"

… …

… …

Tss—!

The sound of pneumatics.

Every time the game pod door opened, Ziling's mother would hear this sound… She stretched lazily and yawned for a long time.

Since having this luxury game pod, the mattress in her room, which cost several thousand, hasn't been used for a long time.

Her waist doesn't hurt anymore, and her legs are shaking.

"Life in the game is becoming more and more addictive… too decadent! Ren Ziling, ah Ren Ziling, you can't go on like this!"

Ziling's mother was silent for a while, and after self-criticizing herself, she decided that after getting off work at night… she would still play.

She walked out of the room in a mess, "Lizi, time to work, get up quickly and be exploited by me! I'll make breakfast, what do you want to eat!"

This guy probably hasn't woken up yet?

Ziling's mother yawned again, brushed her teeth, her mouth full of toothpaste foam, and without putting on her slippers, she walked to the kitchen.

Just opened the door.

A familiar figure… a back appeared in front of her.

Luo Qiu wearing an apron.

"Morning," Luo Qiu didn't turn his head, "Tidy up your terrible appearance, you only have less than thirty minutes to miss the morning rush hour."

As always, he was venomous to her.
