Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Soon, Qin Yu absorbed all the spiritual energy in Yin Hu's body, raising his own realm from four-star Martial King to nine-star Martial King.

If another Martial Emperor were to absorb his energy, he would probably be able to completely break through to the Martial Emperor realm.

"Cool!"

Qin Yu grinned and stretched out a big yawn.

He glanced at Yin Hu, who had been sucked dry and turned into a desiccated corpse at his feet, and a hint of pity appeared on his face:

“Originally, someone as wicked as you should have been torn apart by five horses.”

"But considering you gave me spiritual power, I'll still leave you some dignity, buddy."

Afterwards, Qin Yu stripped Yin Hu of all his possessions, including all his clothes, and put them into his spatial ring, leaving Yin Hu with a dignified, naked corpse.

Qin Yu clasped his hands together and prayed for the future before Yin Hu's corpse:

"Amitabha, well said, well said. Rest in peace, benefactor. Although you are dead, your identity will now belong to me."

(Tiger in the underworld: Thank you ←_←)

"By the way, what's today? It seems like Xiaoxue's birthday is coming up soon, right?"

Qin Yu suddenly remembered something, then took out his phone, glanced at the calendar, and was shocked to find that today was already December 21st!

Good news, he didn't miss Xiaoxue's birthday.

Bad news, Xiaoxue's birthday is today!

To make matters worse, he's currently out of service, his phone has no signal, and he can't send messages to Xiaoxue.

Simply put, he's finished...

At this moment, inside the Haixialao Hot Pot restaurant.

Zhang Xiaoming and Jiang Xiaoling were celebrating Lin Qingxue's birthday, while Haixia Lao employees held up signs that read "Happy Birthday Lin Qingxue" and sang and danced for her.

However, Lin Qingxue kept her head down, looking at her phone, and seemed sullen.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoling dismissed the Haixialao employees and looked at Lin Qingxue, asking:

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?"

Lin Qingxue said with a resentful look, "Today is my birthday, and that bastard Qin Yu didn't even send me a single birthday greeting. I sent him a message, but he didn't reply. It's infuriating!"

Zhang Xiaoming said, "Maybe he's busy with something?"

"No matter how busy he is, he doesn't even have time to reply to my message. I think he doesn't care about me at all!" Lin Qingxue crossed her arms, her fair and delicate face puffed up with anger.

Jiang Xiaoling, looking indignant, put her arm around Lin Qingxue's shoulder:

"Those bastards are all scoundrels. From now on, we sisters will be the only ones who truly shine!"

Zhang Xiaoming's lips twitched slightly: "Hey, hey, hey, if you're going to criticize Qin Yu, then criticize Qin Yu. Don't start making sweeping generalizations."

Jiang Xiaoling glanced at him and sneered:

"You're just as much of a jerk. Last time I did you a favor and asked you to treat me to dinner, and all you did was treat me to a Shaxian snack. How could you be so shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoming apologized sincerely:

"I'm sorry, I didn't think things through last time. Please give me another chance, and I'll treat you to something even better."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoling couldn't help but smile, and let out a soft hum:

"Hmph, at least you have some conscience. What are you planning to treat me to?"

"I'm planning to treat you to some Raffles."

Jiang Xiaoling: ? ? ?

Zhang Xiaoming analyzed with a serious expression:

"After thinking about it, I realized that Shaxian snacks are indeed too business-like. I should treat you to a more sophisticated Western restaurant, Raffles."

Jiang Xiaoling's lips twitched with anger. She raised her fist and pounced on Zhang Xiaoming, punching him repeatedly in the face!

"Zhang Xiaoming! I'll beat you to death, you bastard! It's always Shaxian or Lailaishi, can't you at least treat me to something decent?!"

Zhang Xiaoming quickly covered his face:

"Hey, hey, hey, don't hit me in the face! If you want to be classy, ​​I'll treat you to KFC or McDonald's."

"I bought a watch last year, ah-da-da-da-da!"

Watching the two playfully bickering, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but smile knowingly. But then she looked at the empty seat next to her with a slightly forlorn expression.

If Qin Yu were here at this moment, that would be wonderful.

After the meal, the three returned to campus and prepared to go back to their dormitory apartment to rest.

Just then, Lin Qingxue's phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.

"Ding dong!"

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Qingxue's eyes lit up, and she quickly took out her phone to check, only to immediately look disappointed.

It wasn't a message from Qin Yu, but from Han Jinlong.

[Han Jinlong]: Goddess Qingxue, I have something urgent to discuss with you. Can you come to the lakeside park?

[Lin Qingxue]: Forget it, it's too late now, let's talk about it tomorrow.

[Han Jinlong]: No, this is really urgent, please help me.

[Lin Qingxue]: Sigh, alright, I'll go over now.

Lin Qingxue shook her head helplessly, then put down her phone, briefly spoke with Zhang Xiaoming and Jiang Xiaoling, and turned to walk towards the lakeside park.

At this moment, in the lakeside park, the moon is bright and the stars are few. The rippling lake reflects the lights of the campus streets and roadsides, and all around is quiet.

Han Jinlong stood by the lake and saw Lin Qingxue walking over. He greeted her with a warm smile.

"Goddess Qingxue, you've arrived?"

Lin Qingxue nodded indifferently: "What do you want from me?"

"Well, it's nothing really," Han Jinlong said with an embarrassed smile, scratching his head.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue frowned deeply. "Why would you lie to me if nothing happened?"

Han Jinlong said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's mainly because if I hadn't said that, you wouldn't have come."

Lin Qingxue's face instantly turned cold. "You're really sick!"

After saying this, Lin Qingxue turned to leave.

"Hey, Goddess Qingxue, don't go! Actually, I came to you mainly to wish you a happy birthday!" Han Jinlong hurriedly said.

Lin Qingxue was taken aback by his words, turned to look at Han Jinlong, and asked with some surprise:

"How did you know today is my birthday?"

Han Jinlong chuckled and scratched his head: "You told Qin Yu your birthday back then, and I overheard it and wrote it down."

As he spoke, Han Jinlong took out a remote control from his pocket and pressed a button.

The next moment, ripples appeared on the calm lake surface, and then paper boats with candles on them slowly sailed in from all directions, converging to form several large characters.

Happy birthday to Goddess Qingxue!

Upon seeing the scene before her, Lin Qingxue's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, and she covered her mouth.

Seeing the subtle changes in Lin Qingxue's expression, Han Jinlong secretly rejoiced.

Little brat, I've got you figured out!

Although he was overjoyed inside, on the surface, Han Jinlong still looked at Lin Qingxue with a sincere expression and smiled:

"Goddess Qingxue, I know you've never liked me, but it's okay. I don't ask for anything in return for my love for you. I just want to protect you for the rest of my life."

Looking at Han Jinlong in front of her, Lin Qingxue felt a warm current surge in her heart for the first time, and she was at a loss for words.

However, at that moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out from above.

"Han Jinlong, I've lost my mother!"

Before the words were even finished, a cold light descended from the sky, instantly splitting the lake in two, and the paper boats floating on the lake were shattered to pieces by the cold light!

Lin Qingxue and Han Jinlong were both startled. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a handsome young man descending from the sky, holding a long sword.

"Qin Yu!?"

Lin Qingxue and Han Jinlong both widened their eyes when they saw the person who had arrived.

The next moment, Qin Yu kicked Han Jinlong into the lake, then came to Lin Qingxue with a warm, spring-like smile on his face, and handed her the famous sword, Hanxiao.

"Sorry I'm late. Happy birthday, Xiaoxue. This is a birthday present for you. I hope you like it."
