While the children were taking their afternoon nap, Wen Ai handed the medicine to Xiao Liang.

"Wow, that's quite a generous offer, Master Wen." A glint flashed in Xiao Liang's eyes. Wen Ai had produced five intermediate-level channeling potions, enough to fetch a million dollars at auction.

He suppressed his hidden hope and said, "When will I be able to try Master Wen's advanced dredging medicine?"

"Let's talk about it after you buy me some high-quality natural plants," Wen Ai said casually, not taking his words to heart.

High-quality potions require a perfect combination of top-grade natural plants and pure depressive abilities. Even with his skill level, he could only make one, and that was the last time something like that happened...

Wen Ai stopped thinking about those upsetting things and just waited for Xiao Liang to sell the potion to raise enough money for the rent.

Wen Ze overheard this and only then realized that Teacher Wen and the dean were keeping such a big secret from each other.

This is definitely not a problem that the little one can solve...

But when he heard Teacher Wen say that high-quality plants were needed, he perked up.

He looked at the newly cultivated acre of land and was eager to get started.

……

"This is the orphanage?" Rien spat in disgust.

Despite the warm "investment" from Wen Ai, the stingy Xiao Liang was unwilling to embellish the appearance of the Baiwen Orphanage, which still looked dilapidated from the outside.

In this godforsaken place, it's not surprising that someone could disappear.

Lean put away the monitor and crept in silently, like all owls that ambush their prey.

However, his actions were still exposed to a camera.

The beeping alarm woke Wen Ai, who was exhausted since Xiao Liang left.

"When he comes back, we must recruit more people!" Wen Ai grumbled, glancing at the monitor in a daze, thinking it was an animal that had accidentally triggered the alarm.

The next moment, his eyes widened.

Thief!

Wen Ai's heart clenched. He immediately transformed into a little panda, slipped out of the room, and ran towards the cub's bedroom.

Rian cursed and kicked over the surrounding machines: "What kind of hellhole is this? It's so dilapidated, yet they have robots guarding it!" Therefore, he became much more cautious and walked towards the lounge without making a single mistake.

Wen Ai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the cub was safe and sound. She kept her eyes glued to the monitor, only to find that the cub was heading towards her room.

He thought about many things for a moment, and a guess formed in his mind. He frowned and kept an eye on things, while dialing the police.

"Hello, this is Baiwen Orphanage. We've been robbed..." Wen Ze checked other surveillance footage and discovered that besides this person, there was another person missing outside the door. This dampened his enthusiasm for dealing with the situation alone.

As Rien listened intently, he realized there was no breathing in the room. He immediately transformed into a lynx, used his powers, and his sharp claws sliced ​​open the door.

nobody.

He scratched his paws impatiently and followed the scent in the room until he found the cubs' bedroom.

As Rien drew closer, Wen Ai's heart pounded in his chest. The eerie green eyes in the monitor looked malevolent and terrifying. He dared not gamble and woke the cubs.

"Teacher Wen... yawn) What are you doing here?" The cub was still sleepy-eyed, but Leng Fan had already noticed Wen Ai's somewhat flustered expression.

"A thief has broken in! Hide quickly!" Wen Ai didn't have time to explain much.

Upon hearing Wen'ai's words, the cubs immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. Although they were young, they knew that they couldn't hold anyone back at a time like this.

"This way!" Wen Ai pointed to a wardrobe in the corner of the room, large enough to hold all the cubs. "Go inside and don't make a sound. I'll stay outside and watch over them."

Without hesitation, the cubs quickly climbed into the wardrobe, and Wen Ai gently closed the door, making sure there were no gaps.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves, and then quietly walked towards the door, preparing to face the potential danger.

Hearing the sound, Rien paused for a moment, then quickened his pace and rushed towards the bedroom.

He didn't care about anything else; for these desperate criminals, killing one or five made little difference.

Wen Ai stood in the doorway, facing Rien's sharp claws. He gripped the doorknob tightly, his body tense, yet he was still thrown back by the enormous impact.

Wen Ai was forced open along with the door. He quickly transformed into a beast-like form as tall as a person and tried his best to intimidate the enemy.

When Leon saw the other person, his eyes revealed a mocking and disdainful look. Suddenly, his ears twitched as he heard the sound of police sirens outside. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

He lunged forward, each move aimed at vital points. Wen Ai quickly shrank, becoming the one being restrained. One claw strike drew blood. Enduring the pain, he led Rien outside, but was quickly pinned down by another claw. He watched as the other's sharp teeth were about to pierce his throat!

"Teacher Wen—!" Wen Ze appeared out of nowhere, transforming into a white dog and shrieking. Rien paid no attention, his teeth about to pierce the bounty hunter's throat, his beastly face still bearing cruelty and a sneer. But in the next moment, a sense of fear grew in his heart, forcing him to freeze in place.

His eyes were completely immobilized, and he felt a terrifying aura descend upon him, but it vanished in an instant.

Just then, heavy footsteps sounded outside; the police had arrived. Ryan realized he could move freely again and could only flee with his trembling limbs trembling with fear.

Wen Ai breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing the unbearable pain in his body. He looked at Wen Ze, who was stumbling over and crying uncontrollably, and hugged him tightly.

Wenze opened the wardrobe door, and the cubs crawled out one by one, their eyes filled with fear and unease.

“It’s alright, children.” The gentle voice was firm. “The police are here, we will be safe.”

"Mr. Wen, are you alright?" the police asked with concern. They had apprehended the lookout at the door, hoping to get some information out of him.

"I'm fine, thanks to your timely arrival," Wen Ai said, forcing herself to remain calm.

He needed immediate treatment, and there was no time to lose. Some of the police officers stayed at the orphanage, while others accompanied Wen Ai to the hospital. In addition to treatment, he also needed to undergo an examination and give a statement.

……

Wen Ze breathed a sigh of relief, then felt the part of the demon core that had been restored crack open again, returning it to its original form.
