Shi Wu Scratches at the Door
424
A small room on the top floor of the Ruihang Center.
When Shi Jiu woke up, she was still groggy.
She nestled in Jiang Fu's arms, stretched out her slender, snow-white arm, and slowly reached for the bedside table, picking up her phone.
Ignore those 999+ missed calls and messages.
I glanced at the time.
20:36.
Then, she just stared blankly at the time on her phone.
I fell into a deeper state of confusion.
After a while.
When the time on the phone screen jumps to 20:52.
Shi Jiu finally spoke.
"How come you only slept for an hour..."
His voice was a little hoarse.
It also had a strong nasal tone.
Jiang Fu was completely stunned.
With a slight Psychic Power, he gently lifted a corner of the curtain.
It was completely dark.
The city was ablaze with color.
There are neon lights on the ground, and Air Defense Belt in the sky.
Jiang Fu yawned, "Then let's sleep a little longer?"
Shi Jiu nodded in agreement.
He buried his head in Jiang Fu's neck and shoulder.
Then she muttered softly, "I'm a little hungry..."
"That's not right, I just ate something."
Shi Jiu remembers.
They went to bed after eating dinner.
That's why I remember the time so clearly.
How come I'm hungry so quickly?
Could it be that the energy expenditure was too high?
At that very moment.
The phone that Shi Jiu was holding vibrated slightly.
She glanced at it subconsciously.
It was Shi Wu calling.
After the call connected, Shi Wu's slightly anxious voice came through the phone.
"Xiao Jiu, where are you and Jiang Fu now? Have you returned to Bincheng?"
Shi Jiu yawned and said lazily, "You're back. I was just getting ready for bed."
On the other end of the phone.
Shi Wu visibly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
I've been so worried about you these past two days because I couldn't get in touch with you.
Shi Jiu moment, "These past two days? You haven't been able to contact me?"
Shi Wu: "Yes, Fourth Brother said you and Jiang Fu returned to Bincheng yesterday at noon, so I called you, but I couldn't get through..."
"Hey, Xiao Jiu, what's wrong with your throat?"
Shi Jiu added, "It's nothing."
As they were talking.
She glanced at the missed calls and unread messages instinctively.
999+ missed calls and unread messages.
They are all from Shi Si and Shi Wu.
Shi Jiu ran her fingers through her long, messy hair.
She raised her head and met Jiang Fu's gaze.
"So, we didn't just sleep for an hour, we slept for a whole day?"
Jiang Fu nodded blankly, "Probably... I slept through it."
I wanted to adjust my Biological Clock.
Get your sleep schedule back to normal.
Unexpectedly, I overslept.
Really.
The Biological Clock is really a tricky thing to deal with.
Let's adjust it gradually.
Clang--
At that very moment.
A heavy thud was heard coming from Shi Jiu's phone.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Wu's trembling voice rang out.
"Jiang Fu, how could you be with Xiao Jiu?!"
Jiang Fu's mind was still a little fuzzy. "Go to sleep."
Clang!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out again.
Then, Shi Wu's furious voice rang out. "You Little Blondie, explain yourself clearly..."
Shi Jiu hung up the phone casually. "You're sick."
Then, like an octopus, he wrapped himself around Jiang Fu.
I'm hungry.
"The food is ready."
"Oh, when did you make this?"
"When you said you were hungry earlier..."
Shi Jiu's nose twitched.
Sure enough, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of various foods.
Psychic Power + Multiply by Ten.
By the time I finished the phone call, the food was almost ready.
This room is cleaned every now and then.
We also replenished some fresh ingredients and drinking water.
It was obvious that Shen Yan had given the order deliberately before leaving.
Shi Jiu yawned, "... I need to take a shower..."
Jiang Fu got up from the bed, picked up Shi Jiu, and headed towards the bathroom.
Shi Jiu: "... I want more."
Jiang Fu: "Then let's wash while... um."
22:55.
Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu were already dressed.
Sitting at the dining table, I ate my breakfast, lunch, and dinner in small bites.
Suddenly.
Shi Jiu raised an eyebrow slightly.
She gently hooked her left little finger.
The Spatial Maze that enveloped the room was instantly retracted.
Then.
A deafening scratching sound came from outside the door.
"You Little Blondie, open the door!"
"Open the door! Open the door! Open the door for me!!"
"I know you're in here! Open the door right now!!"
The entire Ruihang Center building is connected to the Bincheng City Wall's defense Security System.
This room.
It is the highest level of security and defense in the entire Ruihang Center.
Shi Wu's strength is not weak.
But they couldn't budge the door at all.
Not to mention, before that...
This room is shrouded in Spatial Maze.
At this time.
Beside Shi Wu stood a woman dressed in a cleaning uniform.
She said expressionlessly, "Professor Shi, please leave."
"No one except Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu is allowed to enter this room without permission."
Shi Wu glared at the woman beside him, noticing that she was dressed as a cleaning lady.
He couldn't help but get angry again. "Jin Manzhi! You're Human Mystery Martial Arts University is focusing on cultivating!"
"Human Mystery University has even prepared Abyss Fruits for you!"
"How did you end up working as a cleaner?!"
Jin Manzhi said "Oh," and added, "It's a part-time job."
She was a member of the unnamed Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu Team that Shen Yan had formed.
They have their own office at the Ruihang Center.
Recently, she's been coming here to clean the room and replenish food supplies.
Shi Wu scratched at the door for almost two hours.
Jin Manzhi changed into a cleaning uniform and came up to see what was going on.
Now it seems...
It must be Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu have returned.
... Changing into a cleaning uniform makes one look more professional.
Of course, there's a suspicion that he was trying to take credit for his work.
Shi Wu glared at Jin Manzhi, about to speak.
Then.
The door opened by itself.
Jiang Fu greeted the two people outside the door with a smile.
"Ah, Fifth Brother-in-Law, and Sister Jin... you come in and have some too."
Shi Wu glared fiercely at Jiang Fu.
But when he saw Shi Jiu sitting quietly eating next to Jiang Fu Shi Jiu...
All the anger in my heart vanished in an instant.
His face instantly crinkled with wrinkles. "Xiao Jiu's back!"
"That fourth brother said you've gained weight, but where have you gained weight!"
As they were talking.
He trotted over to the table.
Sit up properly.
It's as if he wasn't the one scratching at the door for two hours straight.
Jin Manzhi stood outside the door and shook her head slightly.
"I don't need it. I've reached a crucial point in my cultivation recently, so I'm going back to cultivate."
Jiang Fu pondered for a moment.
"Hold On."
He tossed several bottles of mineral water to Jin Manzhi.
"This is Potion that can increase cultivation speed. Let's distribute it to the members of our Team."
Jin Manzhi accepted the bottled water.
His eyes lit up sharply.
She immediately thought of Shen Yan, who was originally of mediocre talent but suddenly became Transcendent.
It must be related to Jiang Fu's 'Potion'.
"Thank you, Captain!"
Without realizing it.
Jin Manzhi has changed her way of addressing Jiang Fu from "Jiang Fu" to "team leader".
