In the darkness of the night, the black car continued to move forward along the smooth road.

Meng Lianying had already moved from the passenger seat to the back seat. He was a talkative person, and he almost never stopped talking after Lu Ya got out of the car.

Gu Fan had never met such a talkative person.

Suddenly, Meng Lianying became quiet. Gu Fan turned his head and saw him hunched over with one hand tightly covering his stomach.

Gu Fan: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Meng Lianying looked embarrassed: "I'm hungry. I haven't eaten for two meals."

It was all my cousin's fault for being so cruel. As soon as he returned to the base, he was detained by the base guards and taken to the police station. After my cousin learned that his injury was not fatal, he not only did not arrange for medical personnel to save him, but he also did not allow the police station to send him food. He is so inhumane.

Gu Fan: ...

A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage cannot practice fasting, but she can make fasting pills. Taking one pill can last for two days without drinking water or eating.

The status of Qigong Pills in the world of cultivation is equivalent to that of rice in the eyes of humans on Earth. If a grain of it falls on the ground, probably no one will pick it up.

Gu Fan has a lot of fasting pills, but these things are too amazing in the eyes of humans. They are more magical than hair growth pills and aphrodisiac pills, so she cannot take them out easily.

"Now that you mention it, I'm hungry too." Gu Fan imitated Meng Lianying and touched his numb stomach.

It turned out that they were in the same boat. Meng Lianying felt at ease again: "We're almost there. We'll be there after turning the corner. Let Fenghuo grill some chicken legs for us later."

Gu Fan smiled.

Two minutes later, a black SUV stopped in front of another villa.

Gu Fan followed Meng Lianying out of the car, and Lu Ya's driver turned the car around and returned the same way.

Gu Fan turned around and looked at the villa in front of him.

It is a three-story building, standing alone and kept at a distance from the surrounding villas.

Is this the legendary wealthy area inside the base? Ordinary people live in densely packed high-rise apartment buildings, while the rich and powerful live in the wealthy area.

"How many merit points does it cost to buy a villa like this?" Gu Fan touched the communication bracelet on his right wrist and asked.

The three mercenaries she killed were weak and poor. They had only heard of the rich area but had never lived there, so they had no idea of ​​the real market conditions.

Meng Lianying smiled and said, "The price of a villa ranges from 100,000 to 1 million merit points. Ours is one of the cheaper ones, 400,000."

Gu Fan wanted a villa, one with its own entrance and exit, quiet and peaceful, so that it would be convenient for her to make elixirs.

But the medicine in her backpack only sold for 15,000 points.

"Come in."

"Um."

Gu Fan stood at the door and watched Meng Lianying press the tip of his index finger on a glass screen, and the door of the villa opened.

Almost at the same time, a head popped out from the second floor. It was a man with beautiful features that were almost seductive, and fiery red hair.

"My teammate, Fenghuo, is an A-level fire-type mutant." Meng Lianying waved at the other party and introduced him to Gu Fan with a smile.

Just as Gu Fan was about to nod, the handsome man named Fenghuo suddenly jumped down from the second floor. "Did the sun rise from the west today? Not only did your cousin let you come back, he also sent a beautiful woman to accompany you?"

When he stood firm, Gu Fan realized that he was very tall and wearing a dark golden... nightgown?

The belt of the nightgown was tied loosely at the waist, and the collar was open, revealing a white chest as white as jade.

Before Gu Fan could see clearly, Meng Lianying stepped in front of her and said to Fenghuo with disdain, "Don't talk nonsense. Her name is Gu Fan. She's a new retail investor I met today. Her grandfather is an S-level wood-type mutant who can refine many good medicines. There's even a hair-growing pill that can make a bald man grow a full head of hair. I've seen it with my own eyes."

Hair growth pill?

Just hearing about the effects of the medicine, Fenghuo was already in awe of Gu Fan and her grandfather. He quickly slipped into the hall door, only showing his head and smiling at Gu Fan: "You guys chat first, I'm going to change clothes."

Before the voice fell, the person had disappeared.

Meng Lianying: "He's a showy and erratic guy. Just treat him like a monkey in the zoo."

Gu Fan thought that monkeys were not as pleasing to the eye as beacon fires.

After entering the hall, Meng Lianying turned on the lights.

Gu Fan had already experienced Earth technology in the police station. At this moment, she looked normal and just silently observed the various furnishings inside.

Meng Lianying rushed into the kitchen, clutching his stomach, rummaged through the refrigerator, and took out two bottles of juice and two boxes of luncheon meat. He sat on the sofa and called out to Gu Fan, "Come on, fill your stomach first."

Gu Fan adapted to the local customs.

Meng Lianying unscrewed the cap of the juice bottle. There was a big juicy peach printed on the bottle. Gu Fan tried to drink a sip. It had a sweet peach flavor and was very delicious. In terms of taste alone, some of the spiritual drinks circulated among the lower-level cultivators in the world of cultivation were not as good as this.

Gu Fan ate another piece of luncheon meat. It was a little salty, but also very delicious.

Gu Fan thought that although humans on Earth did not know how to cultivate immortality, the things they made were very delicious.

There were footsteps coming from upstairs, there were two people.

Gu Fan looked up and saw that Fenghuo had changed into a black suit, which was completely different from the dark gold pajamas and looked very formal.

Meng Lianying also glanced back, and the sight immediately caused the juice in his mouth to spit out. "Fuck, it's the middle of the night, are you crazy? Why are you wearing a suit?"

Fenghuo ignored him and blinked at Gu Fan.

Gu Fan still smiled slightly and looked at the man behind Fenghuo.

If Fenghuo is as enchanting as a demon, the man behind him is like a clear spring, with a cool and ethereal temperament.

Lu Ya is so cold that he looks down upon the mortal world, while this man is so pure that no one in the mortal world would have the heart to defile him.

"His name is Xinghe, an A-level water-based mutant." Meng Lianying wiped the juice off his chest and did not forget to introduce him to Gu Fan.

Gu Fan guessed Xinghe's supernatural attributes, which were very consistent with the temperament of a water cultivator, but Xinghe was also very good-looking.

"Qingteng and Taishan were exhausted earlier and are still sleeping. They may not wake up until tomorrow morning."

Xinghe nodded at Gu Fan and said to Meng Lianying.

Meng Lianying was still terrified. "Just sleep, it's good that you're alright. That tiger-lion was too tough. If it weren't for our good coordination, we might have all been its dinner. By the way, Fenghuo, we have no food in prison. Go roast some chicken legs! I'm starving."

Fenghuo: "You eat chicken legs, what does Fanfan like to eat?"

Gu Fan: "...I'll have a chicken leg too."

Fenghuo tugged at his suit and walked into the kitchen confidently, like a president about to attend a high-level business meeting.

Meng Lianying glared at his back several times.

Xinghe entertained Gu Fan: "You'll have to wait a while over there. Shall I show you your room first?"

Gu Fan stood up: "Thank you."

Meng Lianying slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move, and waved at Gu Fan: "Go ahead, Xinghe is very reliable in every aspect, you don't have to worry."

Gu Fan was not worried at all. Although she was weak, she had practiced for a hundred years and had accumulated some life-saving items.

Xinghe led her up the stairs, introducing them as they walked: "Lianying, Fenghuo, Taishan, and I all live on the second floor. Qingteng is a woman, and she usually lives on the third floor. There's a vacant room on the third floor, so you can live there from now on. She's still unconscious now, so when she wakes up tomorrow morning, you should ask her for anything you need."

Gu Fan: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xinghe smiled: "We are all teammates, we should help each other, there is no need to be so formal."

Gu Fan's eyes flickered. She was only staying with them temporarily, but she hadn't said she wanted to join this mercenary team. The mercenaries in the base were all psychics who disliked being controlled by the military, but they often took missions from the military or other organizations, going out to fight monsters in exchange for merit points. The degree of danger corresponded to the level of the mission.

Gu Fan just wanted to stay in the base and didn't want to go out.

Arriving at the third floor, Xinghe turned on the lights along the way and opened the door for her: "We just had someone clean the place during the day, the sheets and everything are new. There's a bathroom inside, you can take a shower first. As for clothes, I have some men's clothes that I haven't worn yet, can you lend them to me first?"

At this time, Gu Fan only had a backpack and a shabby set of armor that looked like it was picked up and pieced together.

A type of spatial crystal has evolved on Earth. This crystal contains a certain amount of storage space, where time does not flow, and anything placed within it remains in its original state. However, these crystals are only left behind by the death of spatial-type psychics or monsters. They are extremely rare, and are generally held by high-ranking military officials, who use them to store food and water during battles.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Gu Fan didn't dare to reveal his storage jade bracelet, so he had to pretend to be poor and gratefully agreed to Xinghe's words.

Xinghe went to the second floor to get a set of men's pajamas and a set of sportswear, handed them to Gu Fan at the door, and then went to the first floor.

Gu Fan closed the door and drew the curtains.

She went to the bathroom and took a look. She didn't quite understand what those things were for, and she didn't need to use them. She mobilized her spiritual power and used a dust removal technique on herself. She became clean and refreshed from head to toe. Even the pieced-together armor looked as if it had been carefully washed, with only some traces of friction and damage left.

After letting his long hair down and changing into Xinghe's sportswear, Gu Fan stretched out his limbs and lay on the bed, closing his eyes and recalling his experiences of the past half month.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't know how long it had been before she was awakened by the beeping sound from her communication bracelet.

Gu Fan pressed the answer button.

Meng Lianying's voice came over: "Is it ready? The chicken legs are cooked. Do you want to come down and eat them, or should I bring them up for you?"

Gu Fan smiled and said, "I'll be down right away."

She jumped out of bed and tied up her long hair with a hairband. The dress of humans on Earth was completely different from that on the cultivation continent. She was afraid that if she appeared in a long dress with pearl hairpins and flowing hair, she would be regarded as an alien by the humans on Earth at first sight.

On the first floor, Xinghe was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, while Fenghuo and Meng Lianying were sitting at the dining table.

Hearing the footsteps, the three of them looked towards Gu Fan together.

According to the measurement method here, Gu Fan is 1.7 meters tall, but compared with Xinghe, she is still quite slender and petite. The oversized sportswear looks so loose on her that it is a bit funny.

But at this moment, no one looked at her clothes, their eyes were all on her fair face that was glowing with a soft light.

Just like a pearl, its brilliance seems to be dimmed when it is covered by dirt, but if it is slightly changed to a better packaging, it will suddenly become radiant again.

"Men's clothes are like this now, can you imagine her wearing a skirt?" Fenghuo lowered his head and whispered to Meng Lianying.

Meng Lianying also withdrew his gaze and shook his head at the roasted chicken leg on the plate.

After seeing Gu Fan, this chicken leg didn’t smell as fragrant anymore.

Xinghe and Gu Fan nodded and continued reading the newspaper.

Gu Fan sat down next to Meng Lianying and saw a large plate of roasted chicken legs, a stir-fried dish and a pork rib soup on the table.

"Did you do all this?" Gu Fan asked in surprise.

Fenghuo smiled proudly: "Try it, everyone who has tasted my cooking will praise it."

Gu Fan was already tempted by the smell of the food, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating seriously.

There were eight roasted chicken legs in total. Gu Fan and Meng Lianying ate four each, and also drank up all the stir-fried vegetables and pork rib soup.

Fenghuo looked at Gu Fan sympathetically: "You've been wandering around with your grandfather since you were born. You've never had a proper stir-fry, right?"

Gu Fan nodded.

Fenghuo: "Have you ever used electronic products? Can you play games?"

Gu Fan shook his head.

Fenghuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately went back to his room to get two tablets and taught Gu Fan how to use them personally.

Gu Fan was amazed!

However, she has no interest in games and instead watches various TV series with great interest.

"Are these gods real?" Gu Fan asked excitedly after opening a fantasy drama.

Fenghuo looked at her with even more sympathy: "Is your grandfather usually only good at making pills? He didn't even tell you about what happened before the big radiation?"

Gu Fan discovered that it was great to have a non-existent grandfather, as he could let his grandfather take the blame for everything.

Next, Fenghuo began to enthusiastically introduce the history of the Chinese people to her.

Meng Lianying was the first to go to bed.

Xinghe listened with Gu Fan for half an hour and then went to sleep.

After talking continuously until midnight, Fenghuo was already yawning, but when he met Gu Fan's thirsty eyes, he gave it a try, opened a bottle of ice water, and continued to be a responsible history teacher!

The author has something to say:

Later, Meng Lianying brought back another beautiful woman.

Fenghuo raised his eyelids and continued playing games.

Meng Lianying: Why don’t you complain about my attentiveness?

Fenghuo: No, there is a shadow.
