After leaving the cave, Jiang Lan looked up at the sky.
It was still not too late.
He stretched his body a little.
Although the blows he had taken earlier had done no real harm, his whole body felt somewhat sore now.
Fortunately, with his current recovery speed, he would probably be fine after a night's sleep.
Glancing toward the Base City, Jiang Lan activated Wind-Walking Step, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
A little over an hour later, Jiang Lan arrived home and pushed open the door.
Shen Qingqiu was busy in the kitchen. Hearing the door, he poked his head out.
"You're back?"
"Yeah."
Shen Qingqiu's gaze fell on him, and his brows immediately furrowed slightly.
"Why are your clothes torn again?"
Jiang Lan looked down at his Combat Uniform. It really was in tatters, ripped open in several places.
He gave a wry grin.
This standard-issue Combat Uniform really wasn't very sturdy.
It was fine against low-level Ferocious Beasts and could withstand a certain amount of impact, but against fifth- or sixth-tier Ferocious Beasts, it was completely inadequate.
"The clothes aren't very sturdy. I'm fine, aren't I?"
As he spoke, Jiang Lan took off his Combat Uniform, revealing his firm muscles.
At the sight, Shen Qingqiu's cheeks flushed slightly.
"All right, go take a shower!"
"Heh... okay."
Jiang Lan answered with a smile. He was just about to head upstairs when the doorbell suddenly rang.
He turned back and exchanged a glance with Shen Qingqiu.
Who would come to their house at this hour, and what for?
After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Lan walked over and opened the door.
Outside stood a man in his thirties, dressed in ordinary casual clothes and carrying a black cloth bag.
Seeing Jiang Lan, the man spoke.
"Jiang Lan?"
