Jiang Yuan looked up and waved to An Xiaoyu, but the image of a tardigrade crawling on his back calling him "husband" kept flashing through his mind, so he couldn't help but gag when he saw An Xiaoyu.

"Huh?" An Xiaoyu looked puzzled. Why was this guy reacting so strongly when he saw her?

"It's alright, it's alright, let's go home!" Jiang Yuan quickly explained.

"You didn't run into someone impersonating me too, did you?" An Xiaoyu wasn't stupid. Since she had met another fake Jiang Yuan, then Jiang Yuan must have also met a fake An Xiaoyu.

"Uh, yes, I did run into him." Jiang Yuan was still a little taken aback.

"You...you didn't do anything to her, did you!" An Xiaoyu shivered. It wasn't that she didn't trust Jiang Yuan, but that she didn't trust men. You can't be sure if a man can resist the temptation of a beautiful woman like herself.

"Well, I actually did something!" Jiang Yuan said awkwardly. He had captured the culprit, so he should be considered to have done something.

"You...you...you..."

An Xiaoyu was trembling with anger. This guy didn't even recognize her, and he even did something with this thing that was indistinguishable from a ghost. She hadn't even had sex with it herself...

"Don't overthink it, I just caught it!" Jiang Yuan quickly picked up the tardigrade. He didn't want An Xiaoyu to make malicious assumptions, after all, this wasn't a pleasant memory, and he couldn't tolerate being speculated about.

An Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, but then she focused her attention on the small cage in Jiang Yuan's hand and asked curiously, "What is this? Is it the one causing trouble?"

"It must have been something that this super divine vein suppressed before. I don't know how it managed to escape as a remnant soul, and it even possesses considerable power. I almost fell for its trick!" Jiang Yuan said with lingering fear.

"They look quite cute, how could they do such a naughty thing!" An Xiaoyu had a pretty good impression of the tardigrades; at least, they fulfilled Jiang Yuan's dream of proposing to her.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan devised a plan and deliberately said, "I've killed this guy now, but I don't intend to let him off so easily. I'll first use the Reincarnation Space to refine him for forty-nine days, then grind him into billions of specks of powder, and sprinkle some into every latrine I go to. Not only will I prevent him from entering the cycle of reincarnation, but I'll also make him infamous for ten thousand years."

An Xiaoyu: "Isn't that a bit too harsh?"

"How could that be? It's already dead anyway. I'm just helping it integrate into this world better. After all, who doesn't want to leave their mark on the world?" Jiang Yuan continued to add fuel to the fire by threatening it.

"Big brother, big sister, I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't do this, I'm not dead, I'm not dead!"

A sharp sound came from inside the cage, and the tardigrade swam frantically in the space, trying to get Jiang Yuan's attention and dissuade him from his crazy idea.

"Look how much psychological trauma this tardigrade has caused me, I'm even having auditory hallucinations now!" Jiang Yuan picked at his ear with his finger, pretending not to hear, and continued, "Go on, I'm planning to add some more to it. I heard that tardigrades are extremely resilient. When I'm crushing it, I'll cut off a part and roast it over a fire, and freeze another part. Anyway, I'm going to give it all sorts of things like thunder and gales."

"Big brother, look here, look at me! I think I can still be saved!" The tardigrade, which had shrunk to only a few millimeters long, kept waving in the cage, trying to attract his attention.

Why are tardigrades so hard to kill? It's because they're afraid of dying. Their fear of death is directly proportional to how hard they are to die. You can imagine how terrified the tardigrades were when they heard about Jiang Yuan's crazy plan.

“This…” An Xiaoyu pointed to the little guy in the cage, puzzled.

"Greetings, sister-in-law!" The water bear reacted quickly, and seeing that it couldn't get to Jiang Yuan, it turned its gaze directly to An Xiaoyu.

"This little thing!" An Xiaoyu exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

"Sister-in-law, are you perhaps the legendary Heavenly Enchantress? No wonder I felt inexplicably happy when I woke up this morning. It turns out I was just feeling this way. Of course, only a heavenly beauty like you, with your ethereal aura, is worthy of my brother!" The water bear was afraid of being used as a doormat, so it kept flattering him.

"Shut up!" Jiang Yuan's mind stirred, and the cage shrank a little more, causing the tardigrades to squeak and squeak.

"Let's go, let's get out of here first, then we'll deal with it!"

Jiang Yuan said that he had already figured out how to deal with the tardigrades.

The two left quickly, and by the time they returned to the city center of Dongcheng, the sun was already high in the sky.

“Let’s wait here for a while. My former comrades and the special operations team that infiltrated are all on their way here!” An Xiaoyu said.

The two chose an abandoned factory as their final destination. This was the location chosen by Tianfu, and it was also the base for all of Tianfu's operations in Dongcheng.

"Looks like someone got here before us!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile as he glanced at the abandoned factory.

Anyone who dares to roam freely in such a place must be quite powerful. Although this area is still within the safe zone, the spirit beasts that spawn here are also at the Spirit Realm and Divine Realm levels.

"Yu Tu, you've finally arrived!"

"Arriving so late, you're not a good organizer at all!"

The two had just entered when they saw three people walking towards them.

"Hey, who's this young man?"

This was Jiang Yuan's first time showing his face. Although he didn't want to reveal his identity, he didn't want An Xiaoyu to feel that being with him was a secret. He had already wronged her a lot, so he had to do what he was supposed to do.

"Tianfu Warrior - Jiang Yuan." Jiang Yuan showed the military insignia on his arm, and the projected information confirmed his identity.
