Seventh Bureau: Wang Xian, Come with Us!

"Yao Yao, never show your Attribute Panel to anyone else unless they are someone you can trust completely. And that Willow Dark Flower Bright skill of yours—never use it on anyone you don't trust."

After gesturing for Cheng Yao to close her Attribute Panel, Wang Xian gave her this warning.

"Why? Willow Dark Flower Bright can save people, and it doesn't waste precious death chances." Cheng Yao asked, deeply puzzled.

In her eyes, it was a skill that could save people. If it could save people, why not use it?

"That's right, this skill can save people. But there are some people who can't tolerate its existence. They..."

Wang Xian carefully explained the pros and cons of the skill to Cheng Yao. She was startled again and again, never having imagined that a single skill could involve so many things and even put her life in danger.

"Uncle, I understand! I definitely won't use this skill carelessly, and I won't casually show my Attribute Panel to anyone either." Cheng Yao promised Wang Xian with a serious expression.

"Mm."

Wang Xian nodded.

"Yao Yao, why is one of your death chances missing?"

Wang Xian suddenly recalled that when he had looked at Cheng Yao's Attribute Panel earlier, the number in the death chances column had only been 2. Curious, he asked her about it.

"I saw a super adorable little thing, one of those Western Dragons. It was all chubby and cute, and I couldn't resist wanting to go hug it. But that little thing breathed fire and burned me to death!"

An indignant look appeared on Cheng Yao's face. She had thought the little dragon was cute, yet it had burned her to death with a single breath of fire.

Wang Xian: ...

"Right, Uncle, let's go catch that little thing! I saw on the Forum that someone already got a pet. That little thing that burned me to death with one breath is a dragon, so it must be incredibly powerful. If we catch it, we'll strike it rich!" Cheng Yao said to Wang Xian, her eyes shining.

"Keep dreaming!"

Wang Xian rapped Cheng Yao on the head and said irritably.

Catch a dragon?

Only someone tired of living would do that.

Dragons generally started at level 100. Even if the dragon Cheng Yao had encountered was a young dragon, it was probably still above level 50.

And if it was a pureblood dragon, it would be at least a Legendary BOSS.

Although Hidden Professions were very powerful now, he was not arrogant enough to pick a fight with a Legendary BOSS that was at least level 50.

But then again, why would a Western Dragon appear on Eastern territory? And why had he never heard of this in his previous life?

"Uncle, you hit me again!"

Cheng Yao glared angrily at Wang Xian.

But aside from glaring, she seemed to have no other options.

"Quit glaring with those big eyes of yours. Eat something, then we'll each go home and find our own mothers!"

Ignoring Cheng Yao, Wang Xian headed toward where they had left their bags.

"Uncle, wait for me!"

When Cheng Yao saw Wang Xian turn and leave, she immediately followed him.

"Uncle, I'm pretty now, right?"

After catching up to Wang Xian, Cheng Yao used her phone as a mirror to admire her changes while excitedly asking him.

Wang Xian ignored her and kept his head down as he walked.

"Uncle, want me to give you a chance to pursue this gorgeous beauty?"

Cheng Yao looked smug. She clearly remembered Wang Xian saying that he was not interested in little brats.

But times had changed. Although she had been pretty before, she had not fully grown up yet. In Wang Xian's eyes, she had been just a little brat.

But now, things were different. She had become a super-duper gorgeous beauty!

She refused to believe that Wang Xian would still not be interested in her now that she was this beautiful.

Cheng Yao could already imagine Wang Xian falling at her feet.

At that time, she would coldly kick Wang Xian away, expressionlessly watching as he collapsed in despair, heartbroken and helpless as he knelt on the ground and cried, seemingly consumed by endless regret for rejecting her before.

"Ahahaha~~~~"

Thinking of that scene, Cheng Yao could not help throwing back her head and laughing.

After laughing for a while, Cheng Yao suddenly remembered that she was a beautiful woman now and could not be so unladylike as before. She immediately stopped laughing and put on an elegant pose.

But after waiting for a while, Cheng Yao felt that something was off. It was one thing that the imagined scene of Wang Xian falling at her feet had not appeared, but why had Wang Xian not said anything either?

She turned to look beside her, and Cheng Yao was instantly dumbfounded.

Wang Xian was gone!

Cheng Yao panicked and immediately began looking for him. After glancing around, she finally spotted Wang Xian, who was nearly out of sight.

"Uncle, wait for me!"

Cheng Yao shouted and immediately ran after Wang Xian, completely forgetting about maintaining her beautiful image.

Her big thigh was about to run away—who cared about a beautiful image then?

By the lake.

Cheng Yao sat on a dead log, gazing resentfully at Wang Xian as he grilled meat.

"Can you stop staring at me? I'm getting goosebumps all over."

Unable to bear Cheng Yao's gaze any longer, Wang Xian finally spoke.

He had only walked a little too fast and failed to wait for her. Did she really have to keep staring at him with such a resentful look? If someone saw them, they might think he had done something to Cheng Yao.

"Uncle..."

"Stop! The meat's done. Hurry up and eat!"

The moment Cheng Yao opened her mouth, Wang Xian stuffed a piece of grilled meat into it.

It was meat from a wild monster called a Crimson Star Rabbit, which he had killed casually on the way back.

"Stupid Uncle!"

Cheng Yao took the meat out of her mouth, glared fiercely at Wang Xian, then happily began eating it again.

Wang Xian smiled at the sight. He picked up another grilled Crimson Star Rabbit and began eating as well. While eating, he said to Cheng Yao, "Yao Yao, after we finish eating, go home first. I need to head home too."

"Home? Uncle, I'll go with you!" Cheng Yao immediately said.

"Looking like that?"

Wang Xian glanced at Cheng Yao's tattered clothes.

Cheng Yao: ...

"I should go back to the hotel first."

Cheng Yao looked at her clothes and realized that they truly were not suitable for meeting anyone.

"Hotel?"

Wang Xian was puzzled. Was Cheng Yao not from Ji City?

"Uncle, I'm not from Ji City. I came to Ji City this time because my cousin had something to do here. I happened to have nothing going on, so I came along to have some fun," Cheng Yao explained.

"Oh."

Wang Xian responded, but did not ask about Cheng Yao's cousin.

"Yao Yao, you still need to be careful about your skill. Also, from now on, put all your free attribute points into Spirit."

Thinking that they were about to part ways, Wang Xian reminded Cheng Yao of some things she needed to pay attention to. With the Flower Transfer Wood skill and a 500% Spirit bonus, it would be far too wasteful not to put all her free attribute points into Spirit.

"Uncle, I understand."

"Right, we haven't added each other as friends yet, have we? Let's add each other first."

Wang Xian sent Cheng Yao a friend request.

Cheng Yao immediately received a System Prompt: Brother Guang wants to add you as a friend. Accept?

"Brother Guang? Uncle sounds better!"

After hearing the system prompt, Cheng Yao muttered to herself before accepting Wang Xian's friend request.

When Wang Xian heard Cheng Yao's muttering, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. How had he forgotten that he had used a fake name to fool Cheng Yao?

It looked like he would have to endure another round of Cheng Yao's complaints and disdain.

Just as Wang Xian was about to tell Cheng Yao his real name, more than a dozen people dressed in black appeared and quickly rushed toward them.

Wang Xian stood up, took the Scorpion Tail Sword from his backpack, and fixed his gaze on the group. He could sense that they meant trouble.

The dozen or so people stopped several meters away from Wang Xian. A middle-aged man around thirty-five or thirty-six stepped forward, took out an ID, and said to Wang Xian, "Seventh Bureau. Wang Xian, come with us."
