Why am I always the one who gets hurt?!

Watching the departing figure leave the City Guard Office hall, Director Li let out a silent lament.

Now.

He was the only one left in the entire City Guard Office hall.

The dim, yellowish light flickered, and a sense of loneliness began to spread.

Standing in the lobby, one can still occasionally hear the noise from the street outside.

Spirit City

This is a place where the night is still young; for many, darkness is just the beginning of happiness.

However.

This time, it seems that none of it has anything to do with Director Li at this moment.

Just now.

While he was still praising Li Mubai's outstanding behavior, he was punished by Bibi Dong, who had nowhere to vent her anger.

Li Mubai clearly provoked her, so why is he the one who gets hurt?

Director Li couldn't understand it.

But.

As long as he could temporarily keep his position as director, Director Li still felt that this punishment was nothing.

But.

At that moment, he was eager to get home and find out what was going on.

The results of the investigation conducted by Bibi Dong's maids had surprised him greatly.

He had clearly embezzled a great deal of property over the years, so why did he claim there was nothing in his house when the maid reported the search results?

He handed all those things directly to his wife.

The maid said she hadn't seen it at all; where did it go?

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Director Li's heart.

At this very moment.

Suddenly, a voice that was all too familiar echoed in his mind.

'Husband, where are you going? Why are you going out again today? Aren't you going to plow the fields? If you're not going to, I'm going to go out and find someone to plow them for you!'

Damn it!

A feeling of resentment, as if his home had been robbed, suddenly arose in Director Li's heart.

Only then did he suddenly understand.

What his wife said might actually be true!

The money and jewelry he embezzled and accepted as bribes were probably all taken by his wife to support her Xiao Bai.

"Holy crap!!!"

A roar suddenly rang out in the cold and silent hall.

Tap tap tap...

Heavy footsteps echoed in the hall.

At this moment, Director Li's face was full of anger, and Sisi traces of green Entanglement around his face.

Like an angry cheetah, he charged rapidly toward the gate of the City Guard Office.

But.

Just as he reached the gate, he started moving his legs but then suddenly stopped.

The dazed warriors stood at the gate.

The words Bibi Dong had said to him as she left echoed in his mind again.

"Tonight, you will stay in the City Guard Office and carefully proofread City Guard Office income and expenditure reports. Tomorrow morning, deliver them to the Spirit Hall, and I will personally verify them!"

Proofread the ledgers.

This is an extremely complicated matter.

It is extremely difficult to reconcile the City Guard Office's accounts for a whole year in just one night.

He is Soul Master, and his cultivation level is quite good.

Even so, it would be extremely difficult for one person to get this done in one night.

Therefore, he cannot afford to waste any more time at this moment.

If time is wasted and this matter is not handled well, Bibi Dong might find an excuse to kick him out of his position as director.

The reason he thrived in Spirit City was...

They all depended on the position of director; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to marry those beautiful wives in his family.

Whew...

After taking two deep breaths, Director Li finally felt the volcano about to erupt in his heart subside.

Final.

Filled with anger and resentment, Director Li threw himself into his work.

Even if he could finish this work sooner, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

On the other side.

Li Mubai hummed a little tune as he walked home.

Along the way, the lights were dazzling and the air was filled with the sounds of people.

Listening to the various shouts and laughter around him, Li Mubai could only sigh, "This is truly a city that never sleeps!"

Certainly.

Having been here for less than a month, he hadn't yet experienced the charm of this city.

He had heard Old Bear mention it when Old Bear had dinner at home the day before yesterday.

On the Mandarin Duck River at the eastern end of the city, a Yuanyang Lantern Festival is held every night.

In the river, there was a boat decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.

There was a woman of unparalleled beauty on the island, who captivated a group of talented young men who lingered there, reluctant to leave.

Rumor has it that this stunning beauty is fond of poetry.

So every night someone would go there and pick up a pen to write lyrics.

Because that stunning beauty had said that as long as one could write poems that moved and satisfied her, she would share a bed with him and spend a wonderful night together, experiencing the beauty of springtime.

Old Bear praised this stunning beauty to an almost mythical level, nearly declaring her a celestial being.

This did indeed pique Li Mubai's interest.

He even planned to go and see her stunning beauty when he had the time.

He wanted to see just how outrageous this woman was, that even a Titled Douluo like Old Bear couldn't forget her.

Li Mubai was also extremely confident in his poetry.

It's not that he himself is exceptionally talented and can compose lyrics and poems at will.

Rather, it was because before he came into this world, he had spent many years reading Tang and Song dynasty poetry, and he could readily quote the poems of some great masters.

If you can't compose poetry yourself, can't you at least copy it?

Any one of the poems in his mind could cause a literary earthquake in the world.

Couldn't even a mere beauty be moved?

Without realizing it.

Li Mubai then arrived at his front door.

The warm orange light streamed through the window, casting a vibrant green glow on the small tree in front of the door, making it appear lush and graceful.

It's obvious.

Xiao Qian, who was inside the house, had not yet gone to sleep.

Perhaps she was worried and was still waiting for him to come home.

Thinking of this...

Li Mubai smiled faintly, then took two steps forward, approached the door, and knocked twice.

Knock knock...

Who is it?

A familiar, alert voice came from inside the house.

Guess who I am?

Li Mubai replied with a smile.

"Oh, Master, you're back!"

A surprised voice came from inside the house, and soon footsteps could be heard getting closer and closer to the door.

Master... Master?

Are young people these days playing such extreme games?

Inside the house.

The beautiful woman, who was also awake and sitting on the sofa keeping Xiao Qian company, showed an unnatural expression on her face after hearing Xiao Qian's voice.

This strange form of address stirred a peculiar feeling within her.

Strange...

But.

She noticed that Xiao Qian's face and voice did not show any sign of rejection.

This shows that Xiao Qian accepted this title willingly.

It seems I'm getting old; I can hardly keep up with the thinking of these young people anymore... The beautiful woman shook her head, sweeping away the strange emotions in her heart.

Squeak.

Xiao Qian happily opened the door and then rushed into Li Mubai's arms.
