Chapter 49 Stealing from the Wall? The little dog wagged its tail and charged...

The little stray dog ​​wagged its tail and dashed into the residential area.

I was spotted by security as soon as I went in.

Whose dog is this? Isn't it on a leash?

"Little Huang, come back." Ji Qinian called out.

The little dog ran back immediately.

It looked at its owner with a slightly aggrieved expression.

Ji Qinian picked up the little dog.

The security guard softened his tone a bit when he saw how tall and handsome he was.

"You should put your dog on a leash when you walk it. There are many elderly people and children in the neighborhood, and we can't afford to pay for any damages if something happens."

"Sorry, I'm carrying it." Ji Qinian said as he walked inside.

It's dinnertime now, and also the peak time for residents to return home. There are many people in the community, and children are running around everywhere.

Following the scent, Ji Qinian arrived at the elevator.

His scent was even stronger in the elevator.

He's in this building, but which floor is he on?

There were several people in the elevator, and everyone pressed their floor buttons, but he didn't.

Some people looked at him curiously.

Ji Qinian felt embarrassed by the stares and only pressed one randomly.

Every time the elevator doors opened, Ji Qinian would take a sniff.

The little mongrel in his arms didn't move, so he didn't go out. After everyone else had left, he pressed down on each layer one by one.

Just as they reached the second floor, someone came in. The person saw that all the elevator floor lights were on, turned around and glanced at him.

His eyes showed a hint of disgust; he's such a grown man, yet he's doing this kind of thing.

Ji Qinian was embarrassed.

The little dog turned and buried itself in its owner's arms; even a dog wouldn't do something like that.

＊

As soon as Gu Tuo finished absorbing the crystal and opened his eyes, Yu Qing asked, "How was it? How did it feel?"

Gu Tuo said, "I feel energetic all over, like I've drunk ten bottles of Red Bull."

"Try it out and see if your skills change."

Gu Tuo summoned a paint puppet.

Test its hardness by pinching it with my fingernail.

To my surprise, I couldn't pinch it in anymore.

It's hard!

Yu Qing came over with a fruit knife and poked it.

"The hardness has increased a lot. If we add a few more crystals, do you think it will become as hard as steel?"

"If that were the case, wouldn't I be incredibly powerful?" Gu Tuo imagined the thrill of having three Iron Mans.

"Not only that, you can even beat Captain Zhou," Yu Qing said seriously.

"This, this, this pie in the sky is a bit too big." Gu Tuo didn't even dare to think that way.

Yu Qing laughed. In the later part of the original novel, Gu Tuo was quite formidable, although he still couldn't defeat Zhou Fengyun.

"I learned how to make black chicken soup, come and have a taste." Yu Qing turned around and walked to the kitchen, bringing the already cooked black chicken soup from the stove to the cutting board. Without any pretense, the two of them took their bowls and stood beside him to eat.

"It tastes really good, just like the stewed soup outside." Gu Tuo took a sip of the soup and scooped out the chicken legs and wings from the soup for Yu Qing. "I read online that all the nutrients are in the meat, so you need to eat more meat to get them."

Yu Qing gave Gu Tuo a chicken leg: "You should have some too. I can't eat this much. This black-boned chicken is huge."

The two shared a large black-boned chicken, drank most of the soup, and were so full that they didn't need to eat any more rice.

Gu Tuo gestured with the trash bag, picked it up, and walked outside: "I'm going out to throw away the trash."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Yu Qing sprawled out on the sofa like Ge You, completely sprawled there.

Gu Tuo had just stepped out when the doorbell rang.

Yu Qing looked at the door, a sense of suspicion creeping into his heart.

The doorbell rang again.

Yu Qing got up and slowly walked to the door, looking out through the peephole.

Standing outside the door was Ji Qinian. The little mongrel in his arms came up to the peephole and stared at him.

Yu Qing frowned; sure enough, he had found it.

Yu Qing hesitated for two seconds, knowing he couldn't avoid it.

This kind of superpower is really vicious, leaving people with absolutely no secrets.

Yu Qing opened the door.

The little mongrel barked first, its tail wagging wildly.

Ji Qinian was stunned. He came up with a lot of curiosity and had prepared a lot of greetings.

But when he suddenly saw someone, he couldn't say a word.

"Are you here to see Gu Tuo?" Yu Qing asked.

Ji Qinian was taken aback. "Gu Tuo lives here?"

"Yes, I'm his roommate. Come in."

Yu Qing invited the people into the house.

The moment the door closed, a chilling aura swept over Ji Qinian.

Ji Qinian sensed it, looked at Yu Qing, and his heart skipped a beat. He knew he was being presumptuous, but how could he know where his child was if he didn't come looking for him?

Looking at the cold-faced man, would he kill him?

"I'm sorry, I was very abrupt," Ji Qinian said, apologizing.

"You knew it was presumptuous of you to come?" Yu Qing rolled his eyes at him and lazily walked towards the sofa. "Come in and sit down. I know what you're up to."

With Ji Qinian's skill, he can even dig out crystals hidden ten centimeters underground. It would be difficult for a grown man like him to escape his keen sense of smell.

Ji Qinian nodded and glanced around the room as he walked over. The house wasn't big, but it had a lot of things, and there were many paintings on the walls.

It looks very artistic.

There were many boxes piled up in the corner, one of which was a stroller box, so it seemed he hadn't mistaken the person.

The young man lying on the sofa in front of him, who was probably only twenty years old, was so young that it was hard to reconcile him with the big boss who went on a killing spree in the secret realm.

It's a bit disjointed.

Yu Qing took out his phone and sent a message to Gu Tuo: "Go across the street from the apartment complex and buy some bubble tea. I want some too. And get a small cake as well."

Gu Tuo quickly replied: "Okay."

Yu Qing bought himself more time.

Ji Qinian was still hesitating about how to start the conversation in a polite manner when Yu Qing spoke first.

“I know I can’t lie to you, I am A-Ding, but it’s a secret, even Gu-Tuo doesn’t know. I hope you can keep it a secret for me. As for whether the child in my belly is yours, I don’t know. I have no memory of what happened that day. I plan to give birth to and raise the child myself. If you try to take the child from me, I will kill you.”

Yu Qing spoke calmly, not discussing it with him, but simply telling him.

“I don’t mean to take your child away from you. I may not have a formal title or status, but he is still my child, and I want to contribute to raising him. As long as you don’t refuse to treat my child well, I will keep it a secret for you. Today, I’ve come to say that I’m looking for Gu Tuo.”

Ji Qinian was very cooperative.

Yu Qing didn't know if he was telling the truth or not, since the child hadn't been born yet, and he couldn't take it even if he wanted to.

But after the baby is born, it's hard to say what will happen.

If they snatch it and run, he wouldn't know where to look for it, unlike Ji Qinian who has a dog's nose.

But this is the only way right now.

Yu Qing clapped his hands: "Then it's settled. As long as you keep it a secret and don't mention a word about what happened that day, I'll have the babies call you uncle."

"Babies?" Ji Qinian's eyes were full of surprise.

"Yes, twins."

Ji Qinian laughed, looking so happy that he would wag his tail wildly if given one.

Yu Qing was a little annoyed: "Those are my twins."

Ji Qinian nodded: "Yes, it's yours."

Yu Qing's possessiveness toward his child is frighteningly strong.

Ji Qinian suddenly turned his head and smelled it.

"You...have a monster at home?"

Yu Qing's lips twitched; this guy's nose was really annoying.

"That's a secret too."

“Okay, I won’t tell anyone. Can I take a look?” Ji Qinian asked.

Yu Qing called out towards the room, "Little monster, come out."

The little monster came running out as soon as it heard the sound.

He looked at the stranger and the dog, circled around for a long time before running to Yu Qing's side, standing on his lap and looking at the man and the dog.

"I picked it up; it's harmless," Yu Qing explained.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a monster so obedient and docile." Ji Qinian reached out to touch it.

The little monster immediately hid.

My gut feeling is that this man is not someone to mess with.

The dog in his arms kept staring at the little monster.

The little monster bared its teeth at the dog.

The little mongrel stuck out its big tongue and drooled...

The little monster was furious: "What does he mean? Does he want to eat me?"

Ji Qinian hugged the little mongrel and said, "No, he just wanted to nip you in the mouth."

"What do you mean 'want to bite me'?" the little monster was shocked. This wasn't a pleasant phrase!

Yu Qing interrupted them: "I have a favor to do."

Ji Qinian: "I'll help."

Yu Qing: "...Could you help me find more mixed-color crystals or magical artifacts? Gu Tuo's skill is paint, and he can use crystals of all colors."

“Mixed-color crystals are very rare and not easy to find. In all my years of treasure hunting, this is the first time I’ve obtained a mixed-color crystal. You gave it to Gu Tuo?” Ji Qinian was surprised by Yu Qing’s friendliness towards Gu Tuo.

A single multicolored crystal can fetch a very high price.

He gave it away like that.

"Well, I don't need it. You can help me out as you see fit. If you come across it, let me know, and I can trade it for other crystals and magical artifacts," Yu Qing said. He didn't have that much money to buy it, but he was willing to trade.

“No need to change. I have many treasures at home. I’ll go back and see if there’s anything that will be useful to Gu Tuo.” Ji Qinian took out a necklace from his pocket and handed it to Yu Qing. “This is a magical artifact that I obtained by chance. It’s a protective treasure. If you wear it, it can protect you from a fatal blow in a critical moment.”

"You should use this yourself," Yu Qing said, feeling he didn't need it.

"I have a lot of these life-saving items. You should carry this with you, because... your belly will get bigger later, and it will be inconvenient in many ways."

Ji Qinian's eyes were full of tenderness, and all his sincerity was evident in them.

Yu Qing felt a chill run down his spine. "Okay," he said, taking the necklace and putting it around his neck.

Unexpectedly, the necklace flashed with golden light as soon as it was put on, and then disappeared.

Yu Qing touched his empty neck.

Ji Qinian explained, "The necklace has recognized you and will protect you when necessary."

"It really is a magic weapon." Yu Qing ignored it, since he couldn't take it out anyway.

Ji Qinian took out his phone: "Let's add each other's contact information. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

Yu Qing took out his phone and added him as a friend.

Ji Qinian immediately asked, "When is the baby's due date?"

"It's only been a little over three months, it's still early," Yu Qing replied.

"Oh." Ji Qinian calculated the date, and realized that it was the day she conceived.

"That……"

Then, the door opened.

Ji Qinian shut his mouth.

Gu Tuo returned carrying milk tea and small cakes.

Upon seeing Ji Qinian, he was extremely surprised: "Senior Ji? What brings you here?"

"I was just passing by and thought I'd drop by to see you." Ji Qinian lied very smoothly.

Gu Tuo closed the door, quickly came over with the milk tea, and handed his cup to Ji Qinian: "Senior Ji, please have some milk tea."

"Thank you, please drink up. I have trouble sleeping if I drink tea at night."

Gu Tuo: "Oh, I see. Then let's eat cake."

"No, I just wanted to ask if your skills have been upgraded?" Ji Qinian asked.

“Yes, I…” Gu Tuo suddenly pointed at Ji Qinian and asked warily, “Are you real or a villain in disguise?!”

Yu Qing: "Pfft..."

Ji Qinian: "..."

Dog: "Woof?"

Gu Tuo walked around the table with a serious expression and sat down next to Yu Qing. "You opened the door without any suspicion?"

"Uh... I was careless for a moment," Yu Qing replied softly.

Ji Qinian was also confused: "Then how do I prove myself?"

This question stumped both Yu Qing and Gu Tuo.

They didn't know either.

Ji Qinian took out a magic artifact from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Bad guys won't give you magic artifacts. This is a skill enhancement magic artifact. When you summon a paint puppet, use it to summon it. The puppet's hardness and combat power will be improved. That's all I came here for today. I'll be leaving now."

After Ji Qinian finished speaking, he stood up, glanced at Yu Qing, and turned to leave.

Gu Tuo reached out and took the magic artifact. After Ji Qinian went out and closed the door, he tried it out. The summoned paint puppet visibly had a metallic luster.

Gu Tuo and Yu Qing both touched it curiously.

The feel of it has changed.

Yu Qing picked up the knife and stabbed hard.

It couldn't even pierce through.

"What a god!"

Gu Tuo immediately ran to the door, opened it, and took a look.

The person is gone.

He ran to the balcony and waited for a while before seeing Ji Qinian come out.

"Senior Ji! Thank you!"

Ji Qinian looked up at him and said, "You're welcome."

Gu Tuo: "Come over for dinner another day, I'll cook you something delicious!"

Ji Qinian: "Okay, tomorrow."

Yu Qing: "..."

Gu Tuo was also taken aback. Wasn't this just a polite remark?

And they actually agreed.

Gu Tuo smiled and said, "Okay, come over for dinner tomorrow!"

After watching Ji Qinian leave, Gu Tuo returned and touched his paint puppet.

"It's really hard; it makes a clanging sound when you tap it."

“It’s a good thing. You must keep this magic artifact safe, lest someone steal it,” Yu Qing said.

"No, I'll find something to put it in and hang it around my neck." Gu Tuo held the small pyramid-shaped magic artifact.

Luckily he's small, otherwise he would be really hard to carry around.

Gu Tuo was excited and was already thinking about what delicious food to buy to treat Senior Ji to dinner tomorrow.

Yu Qing couldn't get excited anymore; his secrets had been exposed.

He looked at the little monster, who made a zipping gesture in front of its mouth, but it wouldn't say anything.

The little monster knows: Yu Qing is a man who can get pregnant; Gu Tuo is a newcomer to the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities; Ji Qinian came to find Yu Qing; who is the A Ding he mentioned? We don't know, but he must be a very powerful person; Yu Qing has two identities, one is Yu Qing, and the other is A Ding; Gu Tuo doesn't know Yu Qing has two identities; Ji Qinian can give Gu Tuo the treasure, proving he's capable; and the fact that he's so capable yet so obedient to Yu Qing proves that Yu Qing is no ordinary person either.

The little monster's already not-so-bright brain was now on fire, and he still couldn't figure out who Yu Qing's other identity was.

My gut feeling told me that I shouldn't mess with this man.

He obediently acts as a pet here, but in order to get good food, he doesn't care about human affairs.

＊

In the luxurious office.

Several men walked back and forth in front of them with their heads down, while the tall man stood with his hands on his hips, looking angry.

"So many superhumans have all perished? Is it completely useless to keep you all here? Haven't my medicine worked at all?"

Ethan was furious. He had given out so many drugs, yet he hadn't managed to capture a single superhuman.

"Boss, there are too many powerful superhumans among them. The car had already taken them to the riverbank when Hua Qingshu intercepted them and killed all of our people," Ye Li replied in a low voice.

"And who is Hua Qingshu?" Ethan asked.

"Zhou Fengyun's subordinate from the Anshi Supernatural Abilities Bureau."

"It's Zhou Fengyun again. How come he's surrounded by so many powerful people?" Ethan really couldn't understand. Was this man being protected by God?

"Never mind that for now. I just received news that a student from the Anshi Academy of Fine Arts has drawn a map of that secret realm. Go and find out more about him. His name is Yu Qing."

"yes."

＊

Early that morning, Gu Tuo got up and went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. In preparation for Ji Qinian's dinner that evening, he also tidied up the house.

Yu Qing didn't cooperate and slipped away early in the morning.

He went to the mall and bought two boxes of large-sized underwear.

He noticed that his belly was really showing, and his old underwear was now too tight.

Buy the larger size; it's loose and won't constrict your stomach.

Yu Qing paid the bill and left the store. As soon as he came out, a small stray dog ​​pounced on his trouser leg.

"Woof woof".

The little stray dog ​​pawed at his leg and looked up at him.

Yu Qing looked down and then looked up again, and saw Ji Qinian walking over, carrying a shopping bag from a nearby shopping mall, which was filled with a lot of things.

"What a coincidence." Ji Qinian walked over and greeted him.

"Oh...what a coincidence." If he hadn't seen something in Ji Qinian's shopping bag, he would have suspected that Ji Qinian was following him.

Ji Qinian lifted the bag in his hand and said, "I bought some things. Let's eat together tonight."

"Gu Tuo bought a lot too, and he's doing housework at home now," Yu Qing said, shaking the bags in his hand. "See you tonight."

"Okay, see you tonight." Ji Qinian didn't linger and left in another direction.

＊

Ding-dong!

"Here he comes." Gu Tuo ran over to look through the peephole when he heard the doorbell ring, and Yu Qing was standing outside the door.

He opened the door without thinking.

"Didn't you bring your keys?" Gu Tuo asked, and a chill ran down his spine.

Yu Qing didn't knock on the door!

Yu Qing has already walked in.

Gu Tuo gripped the door and knocked hard.

"Qingqing, I ordered your favorite stinky tofu. Did you see the delivery guy when you arrived?"

Yu Qing looked at the paintings they had pasted on the wall.

The answer was, "No."

Gu Tuo's heart jumped into his throat.

This is a fake Qingqing!

Gu Tuo, feigning composure, picked up his phone, walked into Yu Qing's room, grabbed the little monster hiding in the room, and put it in his pocket.

Then he came out, pointed to the things on the table, and said, "Eat something first, I'm going downstairs to get the package. When the takeout arrives, open the door for me."

Gu Tuo said this without even changing his slippers.

He rushed out the door, ran quickly to the elevator, frantically pressed the elevator button, and immediately went inside as soon as the elevator doors opened.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand reached in.

The door that was about to be closed opened again.

"I'll go with you," Yu Qing said with a smile, stepping into the elevator.

Gu Tuo stood in the corner of the elevator and smiled: "Okay."

As the elevator doors closed, he prayed all the way that more people would get into the elevator.

But no one entered the elevator along the way.

Those few dozen seconds felt like an eternity to him.

The elevator arrived at the first floor, and with a ding, the doors opened.

There were people outside the door, and several people entered the elevator.

Gu Tuo quickly squeezed out from the side of the elevator and then ran away.

There are many people outside, and there are security guards at the entrance of the community. This guy can't just commit violence in the street, can he?

Gu Tuo ran all the way out of the residential area without daring to stop.

He ran towards the crowd and squeezed into the throng.

Just as he was feeling uneasy, his phone rang. He looked at it and saw that it was Yu Qing calling.

She immediately answered, "Qingqing, don't go home yet. That shapeshifter has come knocking on our door."

"Where are you?"

“I’m near the subway entrance, there are a lot of people here, he probably wouldn’t dare to do anything.”

"Tuo, you're a superhuman, don't be afraid, use him to practice your abilities."

"Ah, ah... well, you're right. Anyway, just don't come back yet." Gu Tuo hurriedly hung up the phone, and when he looked back, the person had already caught up with him.

Gu Tuo ran towards the side road next to the subway entrance.

There are few people here during the day, but it becomes a food street at night. It's a one-way street, and there aren't many vehicles around at this moment.

Let's give it a try, what if we win?

Gu Tuo summoned three paint puppets.

Then he forgot that he should have used the magical artifact to summon it.

But by the time I remembered, it was too late.

When Jia Yuqing ran over, he pulled out a long whip from his waist.

His braid was made of metal, and when he flicked it, the whip gleamed silver in the sunlight.

A whip lashed at the paint puppet, cracking the paint. However, thanks to the enhancement of a crystal, the puppet was now reduced to a blob without being attacked.

The puppet lunged at the fake Yu Qing and raised its fist to punch him on the head.

With a tilt of his head, Jia Yuqing threw the puppet to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, then turned and lashed the puppet with his whip several times.

The paint puppet was drained of paint, and its waist was broken.

Jia Yuqing looked at Gu Tuo not far away with disdain: "Your puppet is no good."

As he spoke, he flicked the whip, and the whip suddenly turned into a hard rod.

It stabbed straight into the heart of one of the puppets.

Then with a forceful flick, the puppet's body was shattered into pieces.

Seeing that his opponent was so strong, Gu Tuo realized that his mediocre skills were no match for him, so he turned and ran.

The last remaining puppet lunged forward and grabbed the fake Yu Qing, giving him more time to escape.

After the man killed the last puppet, he jumped onto the wall and quickly caught up with Gu Tuo.

"Little friend, you can't escape."

The man jumped down from the wall and lashed out with his whip.

Gu Tuo dodged quickly, spun around, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

The little monster rolled out of the pocket.

The man exclaimed in surprise, "This is..."

The little monster looked up, still dizzy, and realized, "Oh no, I've been discovered!"

Gu Tuo grabbed the little monster and stuffed it into his pocket.

He got up and ran back.

The little monster reminded him, "Use a magic weapon."

As he ran, Gu Tuo grabbed the small sachet hanging around his neck, which contained his magical artifacts.

But before they could react, the man's whip lashed out.

With a snap, the back of Gu Tuo's clothes was torn to shreds.

Gu Tuopu lay on the ground, writhing in pain, "It hurts..."

The little monster crawled out of the pocket, peeking out its head and looking at him: "If I make a move, will I be captured?"

Gu Tuo pressed his head back into his pocket.

The man walked over, dragging a whip.

"That thing in your pocket, could it be a door to a secret realm?"

The little monster, huddled in a pocket, encountered someone who knew its value.

We're doomed.

The man stepped on Gu Tuo's lower back and bent down to reach into his pocket.

Suddenly, a knife flew from afar.

Full of murderous intent.

The man sensed it and quickly leaned back.

The throwing knife grazed his nose, almost killing it.

The aircraft flew over Gu Tuo, and Yu Qing, disguised, flew over and beat him up.

Men might be able to bully Gu Tuo, but they have no chance against Yu Qing.

Yu Qing slashed with his knife, severing the man's right hand that was holding the whip, and the arm flew off.

He screamed in agony.

Gu Tuo got up and looked at the scene, his heart pounding wildly.

When will he be as capable as the big shots?

He was so scared that he panicked and lost all sense of strategy.

Actually, he had a chance to summon the enhanced puppet just now, and perhaps he wouldn't have been attacked.

"He's amazing." The little monster poked its head out to look, then hid back into the pocket.

This guy is amazing. When he beat me up back then, he was in a lot of pain too...

The little monster was still seething with anger when it thought about it. It had originally planned to take revenge when it found an opportunity, but now it seemed it was best to abandon that idea.

Yu Qing picked up the long whip and threw it in front of Gu Tuo: "The spoils of war are yours."

"Thank you for saving me, senior." Gu Tuo looked up.

Yu Qing didn't say much, picked up the unconscious man, and flew to the Superpower Hospital.

The hospital specializes in medications for people with superpowers. One injection can suppress their ability to use superpowers for 24 hours.

Yu Qing took a picture and sent it to Zhou Fengyun: "I've caught a shapeshifter, what should I do?"

Zhou Fengyun replied a few minutes later: "I'll handle it. Want to come to my house for dinner?"

"You're back?"

"I just arrived a little while ago. I'm going to the Superpower Hospital now."

Zhou Fengyun assumed that A Ding was waiting for him at the hospital to report the situation, but when he arrived, A Ding was not there, only the superhuman with a missing hand was unconscious.

Yu Qing has already gone back to find Gu Tuo.

Gu Tuo received treatment at a clinic near his neighborhood. The old doctor who treated his wounds suggested several times that if he were ever beaten up, he should definitely call the police.

When Yu Qing arrived, Gu Tuo had just finished treating his wound.

"Qingqing, you're here."

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts so much, I don't want to move at all," Gu Tuo replied with a crying face.

"Poor child," Yu Qing said, looking at him with pity.

Gu Tuo still needs more practice if he wants to stand on his own.

When the two returned to the apartment, they found that the doors were all open; that bastard never closed the door when he left.

Fortunately, no one passed by and no one came in to steal anything.

"I was hoping to cook a nice meal for Senior Ji, but what am I going to do now?" Gu Tuo was in so much pain that he didn't want to move at all.

Yu Qing glanced at the ingredients and said, "Simple, let's make hot pot."

"That's all we can do," Gu Tuo said.

After returning, Gu Tuo stayed on the bed to rest.

When I'm hungry, I just drink some porridge and don't want to get up to eat anything else.

Yu Qing threw his new underwear into the washing machine to wash it.

He took out his new phone and checked it; Zhou Fengyun had sent him a lot of voice messages.

He read it all in text form.

The identity of the superhuman at the superpower hospital has been confirmed.

She is a local, an orphan, raised on social assistance, and currently works at a nightclub.

I take on freelance work occasionally, whenever I can get paid.

His superpower is shapeshifting; he studied martial arts for a few years and worked as a bodyguard at a nightclub.

This time, someone approached Gu Tuo because they were interested in his special abilities and paid him to capture Gu Tuo and bring him back.

He knew nothing else.

Zhou Fengyun felt that he wasn't telling the truth, but the other party refused to say for the time being.

Yu Qing had no clue at the moment.

Zhou Fengyun then asked, "Would you like to come to my house for dinner?"

Yu Qing: "No, we have guests coming over. Let's do it another day."

Zhou Fengyun: "Okay."

At 4:30 p.m., Ji Qinian arrived carrying a large bag.

Knowing that Gu Tuo was injured, I didn't let him get up and do anything. Instead, I rolled up my sleeves and got busy in the kitchen.

The little mongrel wagged its tail at Yu Qing's feet, and after not being rejected, it jumped onto the sofa and lay on his lap wagging its tail.

Yu Qing looked at the man washing vegetables in the kitchen and suddenly remembered how Zhou Fengyun cooked.

It's strange, they're both handsome guys, they're both cooking, so why does he still think Zhou Fengyun looks cooler when he cooks?

After the hot pot was ready, Yu Qing helped Gu Tuo, whose back was stiff, out.

Gu Tuo said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Senior Ji, I invited you to dinner and now you're washing the vegetables."

"It's alright. I get bored eating alone at home. It's more lively with you guys around," Ji Qinian replied.

Gu Tuo slowly sat down and sighed, "I think I need to find a master to learn from."

Ji Qinian said, "You can take Hua Qingshu as your teacher."

Gu Tuo asked, "Why do you think he's suitable? I still want to become the apprentice of the great master who saved me."

Yu Qing stood silently to the side, putting the meat into the pot.

Ji Qinian analyzed, "What you lack most right now is courage and a ruthless fighting spirit. As far as I know, the most ruthless one in your elite squad is Hua Qingshu. If you had learned even a tenth of his berserk nature, you wouldn't have been injured today. Moreover, he is very good at taking on a group of enemies at once. If you learn from him, you will learn more about the overall situation and tactics. When you can summon more puppets in the future, you can also take on a group of enemies at once. The big shot who saved you is too good at fighting alone. As a summoner, there is no need for you to rush to the front. This is my humble suggestion, you can take it into consideration."

Gu Tuo realized that what he said made a lot of sense.

"Senior Ji's analysis is correct. Senior Hua is indeed ruthless and formidable. I will go and become his disciple tomorrow. I hope I will succeed!"

Yu Qing looked at Ji Qinian and asked curiously, "Senior Ji, which branch are you from?"

Ji Qinian: "I'm from Haishi."

"Oh, so you're in Lai'an City on a business trip?"

Yu Qing's unspoken message was: When are you leaving?

Ji Qinian nodded: "I'm here to take care of some business. I'll be going back in a few days."

Yu Qing nodded and said politely, "Anshi welcomes you."

"Okay, I'll come again when I have the chance," Ji Qinian said with a smile.

Throughout the hotpot meal, Ji Qinian kept glancing at Yu Qing. Gu Tuo noticed this and noticed his gaze shifting back and forth between Yu Qing and Ji Qinian.

The little dog sat next to Yu Qing, while the little monster, afraid of being picked up by the dog, kept a safe distance.

He could eat as much meat as Yu Qing put in his small bowl, and luckily Yu Qing was generous.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have enough to eat at this meal.

For the next two days, Gu Tuo's back hurt so much that he took leave from work and stayed home.

Yu Qing also took leave to stay home and take care of him.

Fortunately, Anshi is peaceful and he doesn't have much work.

Ji Qinian also returned to Haishi the day after the hotpot dinner.

Before leaving, he secretly slipped Yu Qing a gift box containing 200,000 yuan in cash and a large gold bracelet.

The gold bracelet was five millimeters thick and quite heavy.

Holding the gold bracelet, Yu Qing suddenly recalled certain scenes from the original novel.

The original owner's charm meant that all men loved him and knew that the child in his belly might be their future. Those nine men showered him with villas, luxury cars, gold, and jewels.

Yu Qing touched the large gold bracelet, feeling a chill run down his spine. Could it be that despite his efforts to escape the trope of finding his father, nine fathers with their babies were still surging up at him in the end?

After resting for five days, Gu Tuo's back wound finally scabbed over and stopped hurting.

As soon as he was free to move around, he rushed to the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities to become their apprentice.

Yu Qing also came to the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities, fully armed, to make an appearance.

Yu Qing hadn't seen Zhou Fengyun for over half a month, and as soon as he entered the office, he smelled the familiar fragrance.

Zhou Fengyun sat on the sofa, looking at the information on his tablet.

He remained as upright, composed, and icy as ever.

"Here he is." Zhou Fengyun knew it was him even before he looked up.

"Prepared for me?" Yu Qing looked at the insulated bag on the coffee table.

I can smell the roasted lamb chops.

"Hmm, I guessed you'd come today." Zhou Fengyun finally looked up at him.

My gaze fell and settled on his jumpsuit.

The fitted bodysuit made my lower abdomen look less flat than before.

Yu Qing bent down to open the bag.

Zhou Fengyun had already put down the tablet and reached out to help: "I'll do it."

Zhou Fengyun tore open the packaging bag and took out the roasted lamb chops wrapped in tin foil.

The aroma is even stronger when you open the foil.

Yu Qing walked around the coffee table and sat down next to Zhou Fengyun. He opened his mask a crack, put on gloves, grabbed a lamb chop, and started eating.

"Did the secret realm training end so quickly?"

Zhou Fengyun: "No, it's just that it's the turn of other superhumans to stand guard."

Chu Yihou knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, the people we sent to learn from have arrived, and it's someone we know."

Chu Yihou stepped aside, and a small mongrel dog ran in.

Ji Qinian followed closely behind.

"Captain Zhou, A Ding, it's nice to see you again. I've been studying at the Anshi Supernatural Abilities Bureau for two months now. Please take good care of me in the future."

Yu Qing looked up, paused for a moment, and then said politely, "In that case, welcome."

Zhou Fengyun remained silent for a longer time; he never expected that the person assigned to study would be Ji Qinian.

Zhou Fengyun stood up, walked around the coffee table to Ji Qinian, and extended his hand: "Welcome, Deputy Director Ji."

Ji Qinian is the deputy director of the Supernatural Abilities Bureau in Haishi. After this training, he might be promoted to director.

Ji Qinian smiled and said, "I hope Director Zhou will continue to guide me in the future."

"I still prefer everyone to call me Captain," Zhou Fengyun said.

"From now on, Captain Zhou, just call me by my name."

"Okay, Ji Qinian."

The two were clearly being very polite to each other.

But Chu Yihou always felt there was gunpowder in the air.

Yu Qing lowered his head and ate the lamb chop, then tossed the nearly finished lamb ribs to the little mongrel to gnaw on.

The little mongrel wagged its tail and nibbled on the ground.

Gu Tuo successfully became Hua Qingshu's apprentice.

He then asked everyone if they had time at noon, as he wanted to treat them to a meal as a formal apprenticeship ceremony and invited them to be witnesses.

Just then, Ji Qinian also arrived and wanted to host a welcome banquet, so Zhou Fengyun agreed, and the two meals were combined into one.

Zhou Fengyun paid for the meal, and Gu Tuo paid for the tea.

When everyone was leaving get off work together, Ji Qinian was the first to approach Yu Qing: "Want to ride in my car?"

Yu Qing: "Do I still need to take a car?"

Ji Qinian whispered, "Gu Tuo should call you in a little while."

Yu Qing glanced at him, "Okay."

When Zhou Fengyun finally came out of the office, he saw the two people in front of him whispering as they went downstairs.

They're already that close?
