“Damn it! Seeing ghosts! Seeing real ghosts!!!”
Big Black Dog was suddenly startled by Pei Jinye’s voice that popped up in its mind, jumping around in fright.
It clearly hadn’t seen Pei Jinye speaking, yet Pei Jinye’s voice echoed in its head.
Clutching its head, it began to contort.
“Whimpering I’m turning into a human, I don’t want to… I don’t want to…”
“…”
Pei Jinye raised his hand and promptly slapped the dog’s head.
“Awaken?”
Big Black Dog nodded hurriedly, “Awaken.”
It was fully aware that its life was in the hands of the big brother before it.
However, it did not think there was any problem with that.
If it weren’t for Pei Jinye taking it under his wing, it would still be playing in the mud on some street corner, not looking nearly as human-like as it did now.
“I will teach you more profound cultivation techniques. Cultivate them quickly and make yourself stronger,” Pei Jinye said after implanting the Demon Seed, his attitude naturally becoming a bit warmer towards Big Black Dog.
Half an hour later.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Big Black Dog began to cultivate, sitting cross-legged like a human.
Pei Jinye pulled up the attribute panel.
Soul · Demon Seed (1/10)
At the level of First Rank Extraordinary, one can only control up to ten creatures.
“It cost nine Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragments to exchange for this ability, the potential is truly not small.”
But this didn’t mean that the upgrade to Second Rank would also require nine Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragments.
As for Pei Jinye, who had no existing Transcendent genes, materializing them would require Universal Gene Fragments with corresponding potential; once he possessed them, they’d adhere to the rule of three-in-one.
This was the experience Pei Jinye had summed up over a long period.
“Only nine spots left…”
In Pei Jinye’s mind, he naturally recalled the Big Head in the deep pool of the Southern Continent and the Thunder Son, Old Fire Dragon, and Big Willow Brother from the Western Continent.
These four were the peak beings of their respective species.
If he could control them all…
“What a pity, with my current spiritual power, I simply can’t control any one of them.” Pei Jinye’s spiritual power wasn’t yet three hundred points; it was enough in Da Peng City, but if he were to step out of Da Peng City, it wouldn’t quite suffice.
Withdrawing his gaze, he looked back at Big Black Dog, who was still cultivating.
“From now on, you’ll be called Little Black. Cultivate well, and don’t bother me unless it’s necessary.”
“…”
Little Black lifted its head to watch Pei Jinye leave before bowing its head again; it didn’t understand why Pei Jinye would call it little.
…
Pei Jinye was surprised.
Sun Ruofan had actually found the Investigation Team’s Base.
“Pei Jinye…”
The once sweet and adorable heiress of a wealthy family looked a bit disheveled after not seeing her for over two months.
Sun Ruofan, with red eyes, cautiously looked at the boy before her; he seemed the same as before, still so low-key and calm.
But today, someone told her that to save her father, Pei Jinye’s intervention would be more effective.
She never imagined that the clean-cut boy who rarely ordered from the Bronze Association cafeteria would suddenly become a “big shot” in people’s discussions.
Pei Jinye borrowed keys from Brother Bi, drove her out of the base himself, and as they left, Brother Bi and Zhou Ye leaned on the banister of a nearby attic, pulling out binoculars. Both brothers’ faces were filled with smiles that reminisced about their youth.
“Youth is wonderful.”
“But Brother Bi, how come that girl doesn’t look quite right?”
“Travel worn, probably carsick.”
“Oh, yeah.”
…
…
Pei Jinye paid no attention to the two brothers.
As he drove away from the Investigation Team’s Base, he listened to Sun Ruofan recount the current predicament of her father.
Mr. Qi, who was once so formidable, had now been betrayed and had recently suffered several assassination attempts. Even after being financially ruined, there were still people in Da Peng City who were unwilling to let him go.
“Where is your father now?”
“He left a note yesterday and then disappeared,” Sun Ruofan said, now somewhat distraught.
“Who sent you to find me?” Pei Jinye asked.
“It was Uncle An, my dad’s butler,” said Sun Ruofan with teary eyes, “I’m sorry if this causes you trouble… You don’t have to feel pressured; this is a big issue… I don’t even know what my father has done, but it seems to involve a lot.”
She laid out the pros and cons of the situation without concealing anything.
If Pei Jinye was also powerless, she wouldn’t be upset… because it wasn’t a personal rejection.
Pei Jinye didn’t refuse, but he also didn’t give her an immediate answer, instead asking, “Do you have a place to stay, somewhere safe?”
Sun Ruofan shook her head.
The money she had wouldn’t even afford the cheapest roadside inn.
In fact, she didn’t know why she had dared to boldly seek out Pei Jinye.
“If you trust me…” Pei Jinye looked at her earnestly, “I can arrange a house for you, stay there for now, and I’ll try to find out what’s going on.”
“Okay,” said Sun Ruofan, bowing her head, “I’ll listen to you.”
Just as Pei Jinye was about to start the car, he seemed to sense something and changed the subject, “Thirsty? I’m going to buy a bottle of water, what would you like to drink?”
“I’ll buy it…” Sun Ruofan hastily offered.
Pei Jinye smiled and said, “Don’t be formal with me. Peach-flavored soda? I heard from someone that you quite like that.”
Worried about her father, Sun Ruofan’s smile was forced, “Thank you, mineral water is fine.”
Because it was cheaper.
Pei Jinye chuckled, exited the car, and walked to a convenience store by the road.
Sun Ruofan’s gaze was fixed on the rearview mirror, not shifting until Pei Jinye’s figure disappeared inside the convenience store; for some reason, she felt a sudden tightness in her chest.
She gripped her clothes tightly, eyes unwavering as she stared at the convenience store.
She seemed very nervous.
…
…
At the entrance of a nearby alley.
Two youngsters with tattooed arms were thrown into a corner, but before they could kneel down and beg for mercy, Pei Jinye’s hand mercilessly pressed down.
“Enter Dream.”
These two ordinary thugs didn’t bring any Transcendent.
Pei Jinye wasn’t surprised.
He stood in the corner, took out his phone, and dialed a number under the identity of Old Jia to contact Cai Weiqian.
“I want to ask you about someone, do you know Wang Qing from the Green Wolf Association? Tell him that we will protect Qi Zhonglu. I don’t care about the past, but leave the person for me now.”
“After gobbling up all their family assets, don’t be too greedy, wanting to push them to complete ruin.”
Cai Weiqian went to make the contact as ordered.
Pei Jinye glanced at the two unconscious men in the corner.
With a flick of his finger.
Clean and decisive.
Two figures vanished into thin air.
…
Sun Ruofan stared motionlessly at the rearview mirror until Pei Jinye appeared carrying two bottles of water, and only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Sorry about that, the machine for checkout was broken at the store, so it took a while.”
Pei Jinye handed over a bottle of peach-flavored sparkling water.
Sun Ruofan reached out to take it.
Their fingers touched for a moment, and Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly.
The young girl’s hands were ice-cold.
It was apparent that she was very nervous.
Yet Pei Jinye said nothing and drove towards another property of his, not far from his parents’ current residence.
Everything inside was well-prepared.
Pei Jinye pointed to a camera at the entrance, “You can connect this to your phone. I rest here usually, and there should be nothing lacking in terms of clothes, food, lodging, and transport. If something is missing, just let me know.”
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Sun Ruofan resembled a bewildered little doe, seemingly trying hard to muster her strength, “This is really troubling for you.”
Pei Jinye didn’t fuss over these details and asked, “Can you cook?”
Sun Ruofan nodded, “Yes, I can cook.”
Pei Jinye nodded in response, “That’s good then. There’s food in the kitchen fridge; I just restocked this morning. Eat whatever you like; I’m not sure if there’s anything you fancy, but let me know what you like, and I’ll bring some more for you after work.”
“There’s no need for that, it’s too much trouble; this is already very generous,” Sun Ruofan hastily said, feeling she was already being a huge nuisance by coming to Pei Jinye.
The better Pei Jinye treated her, the more guilty she felt.
Pei Jinye noticed her sense of burden.
He didn’t stay long.
After familiarizing the girl with the home’s facilities and without even stopping for tea, he took his leave.
As she watched Pei Jinye enter the elevator,
Sun Ruofan retreated into the room.
The dagger that Uncle An had given her for self-defense had been hidden on her body ever since the assassination attempts, an involuntary reflex she’d never forget for the rest of her life.
The phone screen showed everything visible through the electronic eye.
The young girl seemed terrified that an enemy of her father could appear out of nowhere.
It wasn’t long before.
She sat at the door, hugging her arms… and began to sob.
Soon, she fell asleep like that.
…
Pei Jinye got to his car when his phone rang.
It was a call from Cai Weiqian.
“Brother Jia, Wang Qing refused to meet with me, his attitude was very firm…”
Pei Jinye didn’t say much, “You don’t have to worry about this anymore.”
“Sorry Brother Jia, this is my fault for not handling it well.”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
Pei Jinye hung up the phone and dialed Jiang Xinrun directly, “Take your men to the Green Wolf Association, flatten it.”
“Yes, Family Head.”
Pei Jinye put down the phone.
He had hacked into some of Da Peng City’s electronic eyes and still couldn’t find any trace of Sun Ruofan’s father.
“Strange.”
…
That evening, just past five o’clock.
The bright sky, enveloped by the last glimmers of the sunset, was warmly glowing.
Yet at this moment, the entire Green Wolf Association lay eerily in a river of blood.
“Why! Why do you have a grudge against my Green Wolf Association! When has my Green Wolf Association ever provoked your Jiang family!”
Jiang Xinrun merely walked forward, his face obscured by a black fanged mask without expression, holding a dripping longsword in his hand.
“You should blame yourself for provoking someone you shouldn’t have.”
Wang Qing let out a bloody, wry smile, “People used to say Cai Weiqian had connections with your Jiang family, looks like it wasn’t just rumors…”
Jiang Xinrun’s gaze remained calm as he looked at him, not understanding what that meant.
But that didn’t stop him from carrying out the elder Family Head’s order.
With a swing of his sword.
Wang Qing’s face showed terror as he closed his eyes and shouted, “You all know nothing, Qi Zhonglu… Qi Zhonglu has a secret that can shake the heavens! If I reveal it, will your Jiang family let me go!”
The longsword hovered before Wang Qing’s neck.
Jiang Xinrun’s eyes were tranquil, undisturbed by emotion.
“You’d better pray that the secret you mention is true… and you only have one chance to speak. I hope you won’t waste it,” he said as he turned, dismissing the others and dialing the elder Family Head Jiang Qingcang’s phone.
What do you think?
