Crimson Acts Again

Qin Lan smelled the aroma as soon as she reached the villa's entrance. Beibei, in particular, started drooling. Who made dinner? It smelled so good.

Only Qin Lan and Beibei went inside; the rest of the group stayed at the entrance to provide protection.

Little Qian Qian, who was busy counting her dolls, saw someone arrive at the entrance. A figure, one big and one small. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Qin Lan.

"Godmother."

Everyone turned their heads and saw Qin Lan standing at the entrance with a cute little girl.

Lin Qiuyan spoke up, "Xiao Lan, hurry inside. What are you doing standing foolishly at the door? Is this little gem you...?"

"Auntie, she's my niece."

Qin Lan didn't call her Auntie because Lin Qiuyan looked more like her older sister, so calling her Auntie felt awkward.

Chen Li had met Qin Lan before and knew she was Qianqian's godmother, so her appearance wasn't surprising.

Lin Yueyan heard Qianqian call Qin Lan "Godmother" and knew she wasn't the birth mother. She pouted; she wasn't a cousin-in-law.

"It's you, little sister!" Long Beibei exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't expected to see the little sister she met that morning again. She had thought she wouldn't have another chance to see her.

Little Qian Qian only noticed Beibei then. She said, "Sister, don't fall asleep on the ground next time, okay?"

Her memory was good, and she remembered instantly.

Qin Lan was a little curious how the two of them had met...

"Qianqian, this is my niece. She'll be your sister from now on."

"Sister, did you bring Qianqian a gift?"

Everyone burst into laughter at the remark.

Beibei hadn't expected this and could only cast a pleading glance at her aunt.

Qin Lan was amused and exasperated. How could her goddaughter be so adorable?

Before Qin Lan could speak, the little one added, "No? Then forget it. I can give you a gift." With that, she handed the doll in her hand to Beibei.

Beibei took the doll, and the two little ones became acquainted.

Ling Yun called from the kitchen that dinner was ready and asked Lin Yueyan to help serve the dishes.

"Little one, why are you here?" Ling Yun saw Beibei as soon as he came out, slightly confused about how this child had ended up at his house.

"Handsome Uncle."

After Qin Lan explained, Ling Yun learned that Beibei was his sister's daughter and that she had come to introduce Qianqian to her.

Ling Yun responded with a simple "Oh," indicating he understood.

Qin Lan: "..."

So perfunctory! This jerk, just because he can play the piano, what's so great about that? Qin Lan grumbled inwardly.

The dinner was incredibly lavish. Its primary effect was strengthening the body. During the meal, Chen Li truly experienced what delicious food was. Ling Yun's cooking had completely won her over.

Qin Lan finally understood why Qianqian hadn't eaten much at the Emperor Hotel. Compared to the Emperor Hotel's chefs, Ling Yun's cooking was garbage. She felt incredibly awkward throughout the meal, with the real master chef right beside her – what a slap in the face.

Lin Yueyan ate until she was stuffed. "No, this is too delicious. Tonight, I'm telling Lin Qiuyan that I'm moving in here from now on."

How could this handsome uncle's cooking be so good? Beibei's eyes darted around enviously. She was so envious of Sister Qianqian.

The little puppy was happy today. Its boss was very generous this time, giving it a large cup of Immortal Brew as a reward for exceeding its mission objectives.

Ling Yun frowned slightly. More ants outside. He didn't have time to play with them right now.

Suddenly, a playful smile touched his lips. He made a hand seal on the ground, deciding to let the thing he created keep them busy.

Outside Ling Yun's villa.

"Received. Assemble quickly." Just as they were about to begin their operation.

"Thump."

"Thump."

"Thump."

"Alert, we have a situation!" Erjini cautiously scanned their surroundings.

"Boss, the ground, look at the ground!"

"The sound is coming from the ground. It's bulging. What the hell is this?"

"Rocks? Pushing out?"

"Surround that bulging area!"

The men immediately formed a circle. At that moment, a giant stone golem emerged from the ground. The ground itself remained unchanged, startling them.

This stone golem wasn't entirely made of stone. One could vaguely see that the entire interior of the figure was hollow, with only stone particles adhering to the surface.

What kind of monster is this? Jilini, despite his extensive knowledge, was also shocked. He threw a punch, and the force passed through the stone monster's body. The stone monster immediately collapsed.

Everyone: "..."

Damn it!

So it's all show and no substance, but they haven't reacted yet. The shattered stones on the ground recondensed, forming the stone monster again, and everyone swallowed.

The stone monster walked over slowly, punching little friends, blood splattered everywhere. Kilini watched his men get taken down and immediately attacked again, but the result was the same. The stone monster seemed to possess an immortal body.

"Boss, run! He's toying with us," a member holding an instrument exclaimed in terror, looking at the display. Sweat dripped down his face.

"What are you talking about? It can't do anything to me, but I can slowly find its weakness." Kilini believed that as long as he kept fighting, the stone monster's weaknesses would appear.

"Boss, you don't understand. What kind of existence is it?"

It's playing with you. With such terrifying strength, how could it not be able to deal with you? Stop joking.

"Stop rambling. I won't run. I still have a backup plan, and I'll be able to eliminate it soon."

Kilini was an S-Class mutant. Last month, he had arranged with Bach and S.H.I.E.L.D. to inject him with a bio-enhancement agent. Although it failed, he had become a semi-cyborg exceeding S-Class.

"It's all over. Leader Bach is doomed to be disappointed. Haha, Crimson is also finished."

Looking at the instrument's display—no life, power level 5S-Class (Early Tianren Realm)—he felt his greatest failure in this life was coming to Huaxia.

The five from the National Security Bureau were also stunned. Was that suddenly appearing stone monster that powerful?

In the Dragon Group, a young man in Zhou Jie's team had exchanged mission points for a strength detection instrument last week. Now he was curious about the stone monster's power, which could completely suppress Kilini. What was its actual strength?

This scan startled him, and he even slapped himself hard.

The pain was real!

Zhou Jie followed his gaze. The screen displayed "No Life, Strength: Tianren Realm." Cold sweat poured down his face. What kind of monster was this that had appeared?

Zhou Jie's team gasped, and they all felt pity for Kilini on the scene. Fortunately, it wasn't attacking their Dragon Group. Otherwise, no one in Jiangbei could protect them.

Suddenly, I noticed that many readers left comments, but QQ Reading swallowed them. It's speechless.
