Lu Yuan lay down next to Su Xiaorou and did nothing else that night but simply slept.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Lu Yuan felt his nose was very itchy. He scratched it with his hand, but it started itching again after a while.
He groggily opened his eyes and saw Su Xiaorou half-lying on the bed, sticking her hair into Lu Yuan's nostrils.
"Xiaorou, you've exposed yourself."
Su Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly shrank into the quilt.
"We saw a doctor yesterday, so how come it still hurts?"
Su Xiaorou nodded.
Lu Yuan lifted the blanket, and Su Xiaorou's pretty face immediately turned red. She was still in the same state as yesterday, without wearing any clothes.
"Are you still shy? I've seen this before. Let me see if the swelling has gone down!"
Su Xiaorou blushed and agreed, then asked Lu Yuan to check.
After a thorough examination...
"It's much better, it's gone down a bit, it should be fine in a day or two. Unless you need to go to the toilet today, you should stay in bed."
Su Xiaorou was somewhat displeased:
"It would be boring to lie here all the time, and I'm not sick."
Lu Yuan's face darkened:
"Listen to me, I'll go buy you some food. They'll probably be here soon."
"Put on your underwear and stuff first, I'll be right back."
Su Xiaorou said "Oh," and then remembered another question:
"Brother Yuan, are you going to the military headquarters today?"
Speaking of the military, let's go back to last night.
As soon as Huang Weisheng returned to the military headquarters, he found Qian Anguo, the highest-ranking officer in Xuanwu City!
Huang Weisheng recounted his entire trip to the secret realm in detail from beginning to end.
Lu Yuan, in particular, explained it in great detail.
It even describes height and appearance.
Okay, the only thing I omitted was the mole on his butt; he wasn't that bored.
"Lu Yuan, are you sure he's from out of town?"
The speaker was naturally Qian Anguo.
"Sir, this is certain. His three companions are all from out of town."
"And this is definitely their first time visiting our Xuanwu City, otherwise we would know about such an expert."
Qian Anguo believed Huang Weisheng's words.
Huang Weisheng was his old subordinate, and he was quite reliable.
"Then what military rank and position do you think would be best for him?"
Huang Weisheng thought for a moment:
"Sir, I think it should be at least a colonel or a corps commander position."
"After all, this person is powerful, and he has a beast that is suspected to be an ancient ferocious beast."
Qian Anguo frowned:
"Commander, isn't this a bit too high?"
"I think we should do it this way: the rank will be as you said, and as for the position, let's give him a battalion commander or something, under your command."
Huang Weisheng panicked; he had given Lu Yuan his assurances.
"Sir, the Liu family is also trying to win him over, and other families are also eyeing him covetously. If we give him too low a position..."
"Other families might..."
Qian Anguo directly raised his hand to interrupt Huang Weisheng:
"He hasn't done anything special. The battalion commander has already done a great job. He can be promoted if he makes any more contributions in the future!"
Huang Weisheng had a headache.
"Sir, these are special times, and we cannot follow the previous promotion system."
"As you know, the number of monsters and zombies is growing stronger all over the country. They might attack our human settlements any day, and then..."
Huang Weisheng stopped there, because Qian Anguo had already lost patience.
"Weisheng, at that time we will rely on our regular army. Individual bravery cannot change the overall situation."
"That's settled then. Bring him over tomorrow. You've been working hard for days, go and get some rest!"
Huang Weisheng left helplessly; he had done his best.
He only has the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions.
It's the apocalypse now, so special cases are handled in a special way, but Qian Anguo doesn't think so. He still relies on his regular troops, plus those highly lethal weapons.
This kind of mindset cannot be changed overnight.
At the same time, the Liu family...
As soon as Liu Feifei got home, she found her father, Liu Junyao!
"Feifei is back!"
Liu Feifei quickly agreed and then began to tell Liu Junyao about her experiences and gains in the secret realm.
Finally, Lu Yuan was mentioned.
"By the way, Dad, I have something to tell you, it's very important! You must take it seriously."
Liu Junyao put down his teacup and looked at Liu Feifei with a smile.
"So serious? What is it? Tell me quickly!"
"Have you taken a fancy to that young master?"
Liu Feifei glared at Liu Junyao with annoyance.
"I have no respect for those spoiled brats."
"I want to find a boyfriend who is incredibly handsome, has amazing fighting skills, and has an awesome pet."
Liu Junyao shook his head slightly. His daughter was indeed very outstanding, but what about her criteria for choosing a spouse?
"Feifei, it's better to be more realistic. If someone like that existed, would you even be in the running?"
"It was already taken by someone else!"
Liu Feifei's face darkened:
"It's definitely going to be snatched away by someone else."
"Dad, don't interrupt me, I'm talking about serious matters!"
"Just yesterday, a man named Lu Yuan suddenly broke into the secret realm with his girlfriend."
"Then……"
Liu Feifei recounted the same experience once again.
Liu Junyao's expression gradually changed from a smile to a serious one.
Finally, I was shocked!
Liu Junyao was not as rigid as Qian Anguo, because he was also an S-rank Spirit Master.
Naturally, they knew that the future belonged to Spirit Masters. So-called firearms did indeed have a great advantage in the early stages, which was why the military could become the number one power in Xuanwu City.
After all, the apocalypse has only lasted a little over a year, and especially with those highly lethal weapons, even S-rank magical beasts can easily lose their lives if they're not careful.
However, S-rank magical beasts won't just stand still and wait for you to kill them. On the contrary, the higher the level, the smarter they are, and the more difficult they are to deal with.
As the monsters grow stronger, the pressure on humans will increase. The only solution is to improve the combat power of humans themselves – Spirit Masters!
Therefore, every Spirit Master is a target of fierce competition among various forces, let alone a master like Lu Yuan.
"Feifei, what's your plan to win him over? I'm willing to agree to any conditions."
Liu Junyao finally became serious.
"Dad, I know what you're saying!"
"So, I've been trying to get close to his girlfriend, with the goal of bringing him to our Liu family."
Liu Junyao rolled his eyes at Liu Feifei:
"My silly daughter, what's the point of you getting close to his girlfriend?"
"Why not just use your beauty to win him over?"
"Look at you, so beautiful, isn't it a good deal to take advantage of whoever gets the money?"
Liu Feifei: ...
Well, Liu Feifei was completely speechless. She had no choice but to admit that she had no idea what kind of father he was!
End of chapter!
