As time went by, the strange insect on the ground became visibly agitated and weak.

The blood-red tentacles on its body gradually contracted, and the scarlet eyeballs covering its entire body closed one by one unwillingly.

The strange insect revealed its true form.

"Good heavens, she's a scorpion demon?"

Qin Xiao said in surprise, "How come there are half-orcs and half-insects in this secret realm?"

"This old thing was a diamond-level alien beast, and then it was infected by the evil god and turned into a half-human form."

General Hu began to explain.

"I'll test him first. If he doesn't resist, then I'll go down and kill him."

Qin Xiao looked at it and saw that the strange insect had almost completely collapsed.

Summon Ilya and begin unleashing a barrage of lightning strikes.

One after another, thunderous spears were hurled downwards, then exploded with a deafening roar.

The strange insect was pierced through its body and exploded into a bloody mess.

There's no need to go down anymore; it seems like they're already going to kill them.

Qin Xiao was a little surprised that there were no backup plans or traps; this thing was really too stupid.

No wonder everyone in this Bewitching Church seems a bit dim-witted; like father, like son.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Qin Xiao simply let Ilya keep attacking, and directly killed the cult leader on Youyou's back.

"Young Qin, your beast taming is quite good. It can even break through the body defense of a diamond-level beast."

General Hu was somewhat surprised, as he had originally thought he would have to go down and clean up the mess himself.

I never expected that a mere Gold-rank Beast Tamer could tame such powerful beasts.

Qin Xiao didn't explain, he just smiled. General Hu didn't take it to heart either, after all, he was a national champion, he must have some skills.

Soon, the scorpion demon on the ground was blown to pieces, a bloody mess.

Qin Xiao told Ilya to stop attacking, because if she kept blowing things up, they probably wouldn't be able to be picked up. He also needed to use them to create divine fruits.

Yoyo descended, and everyone jumped down. Qin Xiao came to the monster's side and looked at it.

"Gentlemen, I want this corpse, is that alright?"

Qin Xiao addressed General Hu and the Swan Clan members.

"Of course, no problem. Consider this your spoils."

General Hu readily agreed, without even waiting for the Swan Clan's consent, even though they had no choice but to agree.

The diamond-tier white swan of the Swan Clan, supported by several clansmen, looked at General Hu with resentful eyes.

Hu Lai blushed and dared not look.

Qin Xiao seemed to be deep in thought; it seemed these two had quite a history.

Turning around, he used his roots to bind the tattered corpse and put it into the space of the Jianmu tree.

At this point, Qin Xiao felt it was about time to leave the secret realm, and now about ten days had passed.

"Mayor, is there anything else you wish to do? I'm planning to return to Earth."

Qin Xiao consulted Ye Qingya for her opinion, but Ye Qingya shook her head, indicating she had no idea.

As for Slovic, she's about to leave the secret realm, so I need to talk to her and prepare her mentally.

The Swan Clan members need to return to the capital to oversee affairs and eliminate any remaining remnants, and General Hu naturally needs to return to his post as well.

Qin Xiao and the others simply traveled together, using Youyou's fast flight, and returned to the imperial city in just one day.

The Adventurers' Guild is on the third floor.

Although it was of little use, Qin Xiao and Ye Qingya still upgraded their cards and recorded the completed tasks.

Ye Qingya stood in front of the window on the third floor, where she could overlook the entire imperial city and look out over the imperial palace.

Slovic stood behind the chair at the desk, massaging Qin Xiao's shoulders.

In just ten days, the cult was destroyed, and he was bound to a contract, yet Slovic still felt a sense of unreality.

"Mayor, is there anything you'd like to exchange? I'll have Xiao Qi arrange it for you."

Qin Xiao said casually, and Ye Qingya turned her head and smiled.

"Thank you very much, Brother Qin. I would like a few Transformation Fruits."

Cough cough cough, Qin Xiao choked a little and looked at Ye Qingya with some embarrassment.

Is it okay to call someone "Brother Qin" so casually? If you meet your daughter, won't the generations be all messed up?

"Xiaoqi, can we exchange this?"

Slovic thought for a moment, "Exchange is possible, but I don't know the exchange rate or the inventory situation. I need to go to the palace."

Although this thing is not rare, it is, after all, a royal exclusive, and its quantity has always been scarce.

These orcs would bestow a Transformation Fruit upon the recipient, which would help the recipient better transform into human form; it had always been a royal gift.

Qin Xiao nodded. "Then Xiao Qi, take a look. Also, tell your family that we're going back tomorrow."

As Qin Xiao spoke, Slovic paused, then nodded slightly, "Yes, Master."

"Master, is there anything else you'd like to exchange? Have you finished looking at that catalog?"

Qin Xiao didn't say anything. The catalog only contained spirit crystals and some rare and precious materials.

However, the Swan Clan's combat strength was poor, and the Orc warriors rarely ventured out to explore due to their cult.

So there wasn't anything he wanted inside, and it wasn't of much value to Qin Xiao.

It would be better to save the resources and go back to Blue Star to exchange them for what I want. At least I don't have a single one of those hundred gold spirit crystals.

Moreover, the biggest expense will be Xiaoqi's resources, which will definitely require a significant financial outlay.

After chatting for a while, Slovich left the Adventurers' Guild and headed towards the Royal Palace.

Qin Xiao and Ye Qingya were in the office, with Slovic's distinctive body odor filling the air.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Qin Xiao stood up and said, "Mayor, let's go for a walk in the streets."

Since sitting here is boring anyway, it's not bad to go and see this otherworldly scenery. Last time I came, I left in a hurry and didn't get to explore much.

Ye Qingya nodded. "Xiao Qin, don't call me Mayor anymore. We've been through thick and thin together for a while now."

Qin Xiao was taken aback. If he wasn't calling him Mayor, what was he supposed to call him?

However, Ye Qingya didn't say anything and walked ahead first, prompting Qin Xiao to frown and think.

In the hall, Qin Xiao transformed into a tree-man, and Ye Qingya jumped onto his shoulder without any hesitation, wrapping her thighs around his neck.

He placed his hands on Qin Xiao's head and said, "Let's go, Qin, let's go out for a walk and relax."

Qin Xiao glanced at the long, fair legs on either side of him, and the memory of his first meeting with Ye Qingya in the office flashed through his mind.

The two strolled around the main street of the imperial city, occasionally buying and tasting some special foods.

Qin Xiao lingered for a long time in front of what looked like an entertainment venue, carefully observing the entertainment life of the people in this world.

Seeing all those uniquely charming beast girls, I almost couldn't resist going inside.

The other party kept pushing various package services on Ye Qingya, making Ye Qingya blush deeply.

The thigh on his neck almost crushed Qin Xiao to death before he reluctantly left the street.

However, he was still very curious because high-end establishments were staffed by female beast girls, and the customers were also female.

How exactly do you play this thing?
