Even hybrid monsters have their day

In the underworld, as soon as Geng Miaowan stepped out of the portal, she cautiously looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she clutched the object in her hand and quickly headed towards her residence. As she walked, she continued to look around.

Xu Ruwen shook his head, sighed softly, and walked past her. Huangfu Aohan didn't even bother to glance at her.

She didn't care about their attitude at all, and just continued to move forward cautiously.

Just as she reached the elevator, a hand suddenly and unexpectedly landed on her shoulder. "Hey!"

Geng Miaowan gasped in surprise, nearly dropping what she was holding. She quickly withdrew her hand, casually slipping it into her pocket, and turned to look at the person who had approached.

Zhan Xisheng was smiling at her, and unsurprisingly, Feng Xuanyi stood behind him with an indifferent expression. These two really were inseparable.

Whatever you fear will come true.

Seeing her still-shaken expression, Zhan Xisheng teased, "What are you doing, like you're a thief?"

"Hehe... How could that be..." Geng Miaowan chuckled dryly, trying to make her expression look natural, while unconsciously tightening her grip on the object in her pocket.

"Then why are you looking around like that?" Zhan Xisheng said, mimicking her gesture of looking left and right, even her facial expression was six or seven parts similar. "Or is there some secret here that I don't know about?"

"No, absolutely not." Geng Miaowan denied his words without thinking. She glanced at Feng Xuanyi without leaving a trace. Seeing that his expression was normal and he didn't even look at her, she relaxed a little. Her expression also softened and became less stiff.

"Really nothing?" Zhan Xisheng looked her up and down suspiciously for a while. Unable to discern anything from her face, he gave up. He pressed the elevator button, and the elevator slowly and methodically began to descend. "By the way, I heard you encountered something interesting on this mission?"

Geng Miaowan stared at the rising numbers. She thought to herself, "Their information network is too extensive! Or perhaps, the resources of their various palaces are shared?" She had only just returned to the Underworld, and he already had news of her…

"It's nothing special, just average."

Zhan Xisheng scratched his beautiful milk tea-colored short hair, looking somewhat languid. "I heard... vampires love to drink the blood of beautiful women like you..."

"Is it?"

At this moment, the elevator doors opened, and Geng Miaowan quickly stepped into the elevator. Zhan Xisheng and Feng Xuanyi also stepped into the elevator, and Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan followed behind.

Apart from Geng Miaowan, who was slightly petite, the other three, though slender, were all handsome men over 180cm tall, and even Huangfu Aohan's frame had grown considerably larger than before. Fortunately, the elevator was spacious enough that the three tall and imposing figures didn't feel crowded inside.

Have you been vampirized?

The elevator doors closed, and Zhan Xisheng seemed quite interested in the question. Fortunately, she lived on a lower floor than them and could exit the elevator first. Geng Miaowan looked up at Zhan Xisheng, who was still waiting for her answer. She said calmly, "If the City King is really curious, why not experience it for yourself? I believe that vampires would be happy to drink the blood of a handsome man like you."

Zhan Xisheng seemed surprised by her answer and paused for a moment. Even Feng Xuanyi glanced at her with some surprise.

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and Geng Miaowan stepped out first, fleeing back to her room as if she were escaping.

Only after she had closed all the doors and made sure it was safe did she take out the thing she had been clutching. Suddenly, a figure flashed into the room.

When Jiao Lingfeng opened the door, he was momentarily surprised to see the person standing outside. However, he quickly regained his composure and welcomed the person into the house.

"Is something wrong?"

Geng Miaowan glanced at Jiao Lingfeng, then hesitated before speaking, "Chu Jiangjun, I want to know what went wrong with my mission?"

These past two days, she'd vaguely heard rumors that there was a problem with the space where she'd done her last mission. However, those people only had a vague understanding of the situation and didn't know the truth, which is why she came to him, hoping he could tell her what had happened.

Jiao Lingfeng remained silent, turned around, poured two glasses of water, handed one to her, and took the other for himself. He then sat down on the sofa and said, "Sit down."

Geng Miaowan placed the cup on the coffee table. "I don't want to drink water, and I don't want to sit. I just want to know the truth about my mission!"

Because she was eager to know the truth, her tone was somewhat harsh, even disrespectful to a subordinate towards her superior. However, Jiao Lingfeng didn't seem to care; he smiled slightly and took a sip of water.

After some time, he had come to know Geng Miaowan quite well. She usually seemed very easygoing and rarely cared about gains or losses with others. However, this was only when her bottom line was not crossed. Once someone crossed her bottom line, she was ready to bite them at any time.

She is the same way in her attitude towards things; she is very resolute and determined in what she wants.

"You've heard about this too?" he asked casually.

"Yes." The news spread like wildfire throughout the Underworld, and some members of Group One even came to their group to mock them. Although she didn't let them gain any advantage, she certainly couldn't pretend not to know that her mission had gone wrong.

"Now that you know, I won't hide it from you anymore," Jiao Lingfeng said, getting up to take out a document and handing it to her.

Geng Miaowan took the document and eagerly began reading it before even sitting down.

"How could this be..." She slumped onto the sofa in disbelief, then immediately stood up, saying resolutely, "I'll go back now..."

“It’s too late…” Jiao Lingfeng interrupted her, looking at her with a hint of comfort and reassurance in his eyes. “You’ve been back for quite some time now, and more than a year has passed in the human realm. What can you possibly do if you go back now? Besides, this outcome was already predetermined the moment Qiu Pi died.”

After hearing his words, Geng Miaowan was stunned and speechless. She never thought things would turn out this way.

She had initially harbored some doubts about Peng Yuxian, but ultimately chose to believe him. That was because in all the missions she had undertaken, Peng Yuxian had always appeared on the side of justice, which is why she was more inclined to side with him in the last mission.

However, she never imagined that he was actually the mastermind behind everything...
