Even hybrid monsters have their day

"It's alright. As long as I'm still inside your body, he won't be able to detect me," Luan Hao said nonchalantly. "But try to minimize contact in the future, since my energy bead is still on you. It wouldn't be good if he found out."

Geng Miaowan silently said "I know" to him in her heart, and put on a polite smile as she said to the two of them, "Hello, my name is Geng Miaowan."

Zhan Xisheng chuckled, but Feng Xuanyi merely glanced at her with a cold, handsome face, giving a barely perceptible nod.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened again.

Geng Miaowan saw in the elevator mirror that the floor display showed the third floor. A handsome young man in white robes entered the elevator, his jet-black hair tied with a jade crown.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhan Xisheng smiled and said, "Lord Yan is always so handsome and dashing."

"Isn't the City Lord always so refreshingly handsome and exceptionally good-looking?" King Yama Cang Yufeng replied.

Just as she feared, Geng Miaowan didn't dare turn her head, standing there motionless, lest she attract Cang Yufeng's attention. However, there were only a few people in the elevator.

Aside from the three familiar faces, the unfamiliar ones naturally attracted more attention. Ever since entering the elevator, Cang Yufeng's attention had been drawn to this somewhat familiar background.

Seeing that he was looking at Geng Miaowan, Zhan Xisheng turned her around to face Cang Yufeng and said to him, "This is the new Geng Miaowan." Then he said to Geng Miaowan, "This one with the ancient costume fetish is Yama King Cang Yufeng."

Geng Miaowan lowered her head and said softly, "Good morning, Lord Yama."

"You..." Cang Yufeng stared at her for a long time before finally speaking, "So it was you!"

Had she been discovered? Geng Miaowan looked up in alarm and saw Cang Yufeng staring at her with sudden realization. He said, "Aren't you the little girl who turned and ran away when she saw me that day? So you really are the newcomer."

Geng Miaowan breathed a long sigh of relief. She thought she had been discovered. It seemed that what Luan Hao said was true; after her fate was altered, even the King of Hell wouldn't recognize her. She stammered, "That...that day I...saw someone dressed like that, and thought it was..."

"You're mentally unstable, aren't you?" Geng Miaowan was just thinking about what to say next when Zhan Xisheng continued. After he finished speaking, he ignored Cang Yufeng's warning look and laughed to himself, "Yufeng, I told you long ago, with your outfit, you look abnormal among the ten of us."

"Zhan Xisheng!" Cang Yufeng spat out these words through gritted teeth.

Feng Xuanyi did not utter a word from beginning to end.

Just then, the elevator arrived. As soon as the doors opened, Geng Miaowan quickly left, completely disregarding what would happen to the two people afterward.

She walked all the way to Group 101, only to find a large crowd gathered at the entrance, with faint sounds of arguing coming from inside. As she entered, the crowd pointed and whispered, then stepped aside. Inside the office, she saw Diao Lanrong arguing with Jin Mo and others.

"Jin Mo, what methods did you use to get the boss to assign people to your group?" Although Diao Lanrong was arguing, her face remained expressionless and cold.

"I've already said it, I didn't use any tricks. Miao Wan chose to join our group herself," Jin Mo explained patiently.

"Who are you trying to fool? Would she choose to join your group if you didn't use some underhanded tactics?" Diao Lanrong continued. "Let me tell you, taking her in is a waste of your time and won't do her any good at all."

"I will do my best to take good care of her," Jin Mo said earnestly.

"Dedicated?" Diao Lanrong scoffed. "Look at Group 101, is this the result of your dedication?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuebin and the others, who had been silent, couldn't help but glare at her. Bu Luoyuan even stepped forward and said, "You witch, don't go too far!"

"What exactly do you want, you vixen?" Heng Yihao stepped forward as well.

Diao Lanrong glanced at them sideways and said disdainfully, "These are the team members you painstakingly trained? They have no manners at all."

Jin Mo gave Mu Yuebin a wink, and Mu Yuebin quickly pulled the two people back from about to explode. He then spoke again, "It's my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly. As for Geng Miaowan, although I really wanted her to join our group, I really didn't use any underhanded tactics."

Jin Mo,

Stop pretending! Everyone knows you spend your days throwing tantrums and begging the boss for attention just to get easier missions. Someone like you only deserves to lead a team like 101!

"Diao Lanrong, don't go too far!" Ignoring Mu Yuebin's obstruction, Heng Yihao rushed in front of Diao Lanrong and threw a punch.

His unexpected move stunned everyone, but Diao Lanrong reacted extremely quickly, seemingly without even having time to be stunned. The moment he made his move, she subdued him with one hand and said coolly, "As expected, birds of a feather flock together. People of a certain kind are only suitable to be led by people of a certain kind."

"You witch..." Bu Luoyuan was about to rush forward when Mu Yuebin, who had reacted, held him tightly.

Seeing that the office was about to turn into a battlefield, Geng Miaowan walked in unhurriedly. She first glanced at everyone present, then came to Diao Lanrong and said, "Team Leader Diao, joining Group 101 was indeed my own choice, and it has nothing to do with Team Leader Jin. Because I believe that character is something that is ingrained in one's bones and cannot be changed, while strength can be improved."

At first glance, these words seemed innocuous, but upon closer examination, a strong sense of sarcasm could be felt. Diao Lanrong wasn't stupid; she naturally understood the meaning behind her words. However, her face remained expressionless, and she still harbored some hope that Geng Miaowan would change her mind and choose her group. "You have to be unique; you can't make something out of nothing."

Even if you use good mud to coat a wall, it will only make the wall dirty.

Diao Lanrong's expression changed visibly, but she quickly concealed it. "Geng Miaowan, are you really going to waste your life in such a useless group?"

Geng Miaowan chuckled and looked at her with amusement. "Captain Diao's definition of being utterly useless seems too narrow. In my opinion, as long as one can earnestly carry out the tasks assigned by superiors, refrain from slacking off during their term of office, and stick to their post and know their duty, they can be considered a qualified guardian."

Hearing her say that, a cold aura emanated from Diao Lanrong's beautiful face. Her snake-like eyes stared intently at Geng Miaowan, and she said hatefully, "Geng Miaowan, one day you will regret the decision you made today."

Geng Miaowan shrugged fearlessly and said with a faint smile, "I will patiently wait for that day to come."

Seeing her reaction, Diao Lanrong said nothing more and turned to leave the office.
