Adults should be all about their careers

Gu Yan felt the surge of power within him as Zhua Zhua absorbed the essence of these people.

The strength in him had increased once again. Tsk tsk, Demon Creatures truly lived up to their name.

It seemed that consuming living beings to grow stronger was an innate ability for Demon Creatures.

No wonder they were the target of universal hatred.

Just like the leader of the Night, who could cultivate by devouring souls and possessed abilities that were downright monstrous, far beyond the concept of a mere "martial artist".

And so... the final step was...

Gu Yan turned his palm down, and with a splashing sound, dark water began to pour from his hand. In no time at all, it gradually took the form of a humanoid creature.

It was no other than Mysterious Sky Cloud!

Yes, Gu Yan's ultimate goal in doing all of this was to create a fake Mysterious Sky Cloud!

To use him, or rather, to use the Heavenly Demon Sect, as a smokescreen to confuse the martial artist factions!

After delivering his orders, Mysterious Sky Cloud's form dissolved into a puddle of black water and swiftly left the room.

With that, the matter was concluded.

The blood and gore inside the room vanished, and the stench of blood dissipated.

You Xingxue's state, which had been a mix of semi-conscious excitement, gradually transitioned into... fear.

"T-that respected one... did I just kill a lot of people?"

She clutched the scalpel nervously, her eyes filled with confusion. "I... am I going to have to live the life of a fugitive now?"

"What about school? I haven't graduated yet. I don't want to drop out... I still want to find a job..."

Gu Yan: "......"

Was there anyone in this world who was even slightly normal?

Gu Yan sighed inwardly and walked towards the bewildered You Xingxue.

He pierced through her facade directly, speaking slowly, "Don’t you... enjoy what you just did?"

"There's no need to hide your true feelings."

"You... were thrilled to death, weren't you?"

"Otherwise... how can you explain that gleeful expression on your face now?"

Hearing this, You Xingxue was taken aback.

Joy...

Was she... really happy right now?

She lowered her head and, through the reflection in the scalpel, saw her face that had been frozen in a state of excited laughter.

"Huh... huh... huh...!"

You Xingxue let out a series of incomprehensible noises, but her mouth simply wouldn’t stop smiling.

She had actually... been excited by such things?

Why was that?

Seeing her look of self-doubt, Gu Yan spoke calmly, "You Xingxue, I can assure you that you can still live a normal life."

"Don't forget why I bestowed you this power, You Xingxue. The reason I chose you... is precisely because of this side of you."

Thump! Thump!!

You Xingxue's heart raced at those words.

When she looked at Gu Yan again, her cheeks began to flush unnaturally.

"Sir... Sir, you need me..."

She gradually comprehended everything.

"Before the next action, I will summon you again," Gu Yan said, finishing his words as he walked to the window. His form gradually faded away as he moved.

You Xingxue's mind was still resonating with Gu Yan's voice.

She cupped her face, which was burning hot, and her eyes grew dazed.

Sir... so happy...

Just... if only I could touch Sir or let Sir touch me.

You Xingxue's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. She longed to get closer to Sir.

But... did Sir have a girlfriend?

Probably not. Someone like Sir would surely be preoccupied with his career, right?

.........

.........

Back in the car.

Gu Yan relaxed comfortably in the passenger seat, stretching his arms. He complained discontentedly, "Ah~ Why do I have to do such things?"

"If Night appears, let them appear! If they seek revenge, let them seek revenge!"

"Even if you die, I wouldn't have to be so tired!"

"Leaving facts aside! Don’t you people think you're in the wrong too!"

Old Gao started the car, finding his young master's ranting quite amusing.

Especially the young master’s way of speaking, which was somewhat unprecedented.

It felt like something out of a different, advanced world.

After venting his frustration, Gu Yan sighed helplessly.

There was no escaping the work that needed to be done.

Through this operation, he had discovered You Xingxue's talent and abilities.

Because Zhua Zhua cells had been continuously enhancing her body, coupled with her innate abilities, she was already capable of achieving results like today’s.

Although some of the visual effects were assisted by him, it wasn’t bad.

It seemed that assigning this task to Mei Xue was the right decision.

After all, her weakness was her brother.

Speaking of her brother...

Gu Yan's eyes gleamed with a mysterious light.

The crucial plot should be coming soon.

Originally, in the original story, it was the scene where the main characters, Xiao Lin and Deng Feng, meet and become brothers.

But now, things might turn out differently. He himself would have to prepare accordingly.

The line involving Mei Xue was also about to come to a head.

The fifth matter... the final matter...

Hopefully, Mei Xue would enjoy this arrangement.

Gu Yan cleared his thoughts and then his mind drifted to Leng Qingqiu’s cold yet stunning face.

Sigh, every time I finish something, all I can think about is Qingqiu. Even when I'm busy, all I can think about is Qingqiu.

Ah~ Qingqiu~ My Qingqiu~

Wait for me! After I finish my tasks, I'll definitely make up for all the lost time with you!

At that moment.

Leng Qingqiu, who had been lectured by Xiao Leng and was now studying diligently at her desk, suddenly felt a chill down her spine!!

She raised her head, sensing her surroundings with suspicion.

Huh? What was that? Why did she feel like Gu Yan was thinking about her?

As soon as the thought popped into her head, Leng Qingqiu spat out a "barbarian" and her cheeks flushed slightly red.

Ugh, what was she thinking about! Wasn’t she just proving that she was as shallow as Xiao Leng had said?

No, no, cannot think about that guy anymore.

Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

But then, her heart was filled with annoyance.

He actually disrupted her rhythm. Damn Gu Yan!

When he comes here next time, she’d definitely have to teach him a hard lesson!
