Even hybrid monsters have their day

She was still somewhat dazed, seemingly not yet recovered from the sudden change in scenery. "How did I get here?"

“A few days ago, someone found you unconscious at the entrance of the Anywhere Door, holding Xiaobai, and brought you here for treatment.” As Jiao Lingfeng spoke, he was still looking at Geng Miaowan, his eyes filled with inquiry. “Didn’t you just go to Woli Village to ask for some information? Why did it take so many days, and even get yourself into this state? And what about you and Xiaobai…”

Jiao Lingfeng realized that he had far too many questions to ask.

Upon hearing this, Geng Miaowan remembered that the moment Luan Hao's energy bead erupted that day, she opened the portal back to where she was, and carrying Xiaobai, she climbed into the portal. She thought for a moment and said, "It's a long story."

Then, she told Jiao Lingfeng about everything that happened to her after she went to the human world. Of course, she omitted the part about Luan Hao's energy bead, only saying that Xiao Bai saved her with all her might in the end.

Jiao Lingfeng had long heard that Xiaobai could absorb magic, and now, hearing her say this, he instinctively felt that Xiaobai was definitely not an ordinary demon beast, but he had no clue what kind of race it was. However, this question was not important and could be put aside for the time being.

Right now, however, he is most concerned about another issue.

"You mean Mount Buzhou has been corrupted by demonic energy?" This news was too shocking.

As a sacred mountain, Buzhou Mountain has nurtured countless strange and wondrous creatures since the beginning of time, but such a situation has never occurred before.

Geng Miaowan glanced at him and emphasized, "I didn't say that Buzhou Mountain was corrupted by demonic energy. I only said that many demons corrupted by demonic energy escaped from Buzhou Mountain."

Jiao Lingfeng didn't look at her, but sighed to himself; to him, there was no difference between the two. He was silent for a moment, then said to her, "Alright, go back and rest now. Tomorrow, go to Chujiang Palace and write a report for me." With that, he got up and left.

The news he received today was too shocking for him. He needed to verify the situation with the other Yama Kings. If it was true, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, he suddenly stopped at the door, turned around and looked at Geng Miaowan, saying, "Your body... if you weren't bleeding, it wouldn't attract attention. You'd better be careful in the future, or others will inevitably have their eyes on you."

Although it was an explanation, the tone was very light, as if she were talking about something insignificant. Geng Miaowan pursed her lips, thinking to herself, who would willingly bleed for no reason? But on the surface, she nodded repeatedly in agreement.

As soon as she returned to her residence with Xiaobai, she immediately took out Luan Hao's energy bead to examine it.

She remembered hearing a strange sound when the energy bead erupted that day.

Geng Miaowan held the bead up to the light, and saw that inside the originally bright, clear, and pure bead without a trace of impurity, there were several black lines, finer than a hair, which looked like...

A chill ran down her spine, and her eyes widened in shock. It was over; everything was shattered…

Xiao Bai gave her a look that said, "Good luck to you."

The next day, Geng Miaowan arrived at the office early in the morning, but no one from her team was there; they had all gone on missions. When she handed the report to Jiao Lingfeng, he asked her some questions about the sand crawler demon and the demonic energy emanating from it.

She suffered quite a bit from not knowing magic on this trip. After finishing her business, she asked, "Chu Jiangjun, you said last time that you would arrange the best mentor for me. When can I go to him to study?"

Jiao Lingfeng's gaze remained fixed on the report she had submitted, and he said calmly, "I had already made arrangements for this, but because of your special physical condition, I readjusted it for you this morning. Go down to the library on the 27th floor and find the librarian, Song Yu. He will arrange it for you."

Although Geng Miaowan didn't quite understand why she needed to find a librarian to study cultivation, she still rushed to the library after leaving Jiao Lingfeng's office.

She must learn at least one trick or two before her next mission.

As soon as you step out of the elevator, you're greeted by rows and rows of neatly arranged bookshelves, stretching as far as the eye can see. Looking up, they seem infinitely tall. Walking among them, one feels as insignificant as an ant.

The entrance was open. Geng Miaowan looked around but didn't see anything resembling a service desk, so she walked straight in without being stopped. Once inside, she realized that what she had seen from the outside was just the tip of the iceberg; the grandeur and magnificence inside were beyond her comprehension.

But... she looked at the library's floor plan and didn't see a place like the librarian's office. In this enormous library, where was she supposed to find Song Yu?

Just then, a person carrying a book passed by, and she quickly went up to him and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where I can find the curator, Song Yu?"

The man shook his head.

Geng Miaowan walked inside, asking everyone she saw, but no one could tell her where Song Yu was. The further she went in, the fewer people she encountered. After walking for a while, she came to a place marked "Reading Room." There were hardly any people there, only a few tables and chairs neatly arranged.

She sat down on a chair near the door, slumped onto the table, and said, "I'm exhausted, I need to rest for a bit."

Jiao Lingfeng only told her to find Song Yu in the library, but he didn't tell her how to find him, nor did he tell her that the library was so big. She had walked for so long and hadn't even reached halfway. Where was she supposed to find him?

Geng Miaowan lay quietly for a while, then felt something was wrong; she thought she heard a sound. She stood up and slowly walked inside. There she saw a person lying on the chair at the very back, a book covering their face, fast asleep, snoring softly. Judging from their figure, it must be a child.

She had no intention of disturbing the child's beautiful sleep, but when she caught a glimpse of the title of the book covering his face, she unconsciously stopped in her tracks—"The Ode to All Spirits".

She was surprised to find the words "myriad spirits" in the book. She wondered if the "Ode to Myriad Spirits" was about the myriad spirits.

All she knew about the Myriad Spirits Body was what the sand crawler demon had told her. Although Jiao Lingfeng now knew she was a Myriad Spirits Body, he seemed completely uninterested and didn't mention it at all. If she could understand this body better, it might even help her improve her cultivation.

Thinking of this, she hesitated for a moment, then quietly stepped forward and gently pinched the sides of the book with both hands, hoping to get the book without waking the child.

However, the moment her hand touched the book, it was grabbed by a small hand. Accompanied by a childish voice, "Who is so bold as to steal my book?"
