Godslayer: At the start, the power of the Five Elements transforms into Iron Fist Tiger.

Faced with Ling Yue's forced explanation, Zhao Kongcheng was speechless and could only shout loudly, "Hongying, Ling Yue and Lin Qiye are back!"

"What? Ling Yue and Qi Ye are back?!" A moment later, Hong Ying ran out of the basement.

Ling Yue then saw Hong Ying dressed in revealing clothes, but he stopped joking.

"Hongying, where are the captain and the others? They should be here at this time usually too."

Hearing Ling Yue's words, Hong Ying lowered her head in disappointment, her voice becoming hesitant: "Captain, the captain went to the capital, saying he went to find his wife, and Wu Xiangnan... There were orders from above to transfer him back."

Ling Yue understood. Sure enough, the timeline was constantly correcting the plot. First, there was the riot at the fasting place, and now Chen Muye was gone and Wu Xiangnan had disappeared.

"What about Xiao Nan? Did Xiao Nan go back?" Ling Yue asked hurriedly.

"No, Xiao Nan originally wanted to leave too, but we persuaded her to stay." As she spoke, a hint of relief flashed in Hong Ying's eyes. Now that their captain and vice-captain were gone, they were leaderless. If Si Xiao Nan were to leave as well, she would really break down.

"Oh...but don't be sad. They just went back, they didn't die. They'll definitely come back sooner or later."

"Hmm." Hongying gave a soft "hmm," then looked at everyone: "Let's not talk about us for now, what about you guys? Didn't you, Qiye, and Ningbing go to the Abstinence Hall to do a mission?"

"Of course I'll come back after completing the mission. With my strength, completing a mission is a piece of cake." For Hongying's sake, Ling Yue didn't tell her about killing the delirious words for the time being. After all, Hongying already doubted her own talent, and it wouldn't be good if she got stuck on it now.

Hearing Ling Yue's words, Lin Qiye and Zhao Kongcheng's lips twitched slightly. You're telling me killing Klein is as easy as having hands? How are we disabled people supposed to live?

"Well, considering that the captain and vice-captain are not here, I will stay here for the time being. Please make yourselves at home." Hong Ying laughed heartily. She wasn't deaf, so of course she could vaguely hear Ling Yue's voice when he entered the room and Zhao Kongcheng's voice.

"Okay." Then, Ling Yue was led by An Qingyu to his secret base.

"Keep the corpses of the delirious mantra and the other believers here for now to preserve them. I will retrieve them after the light has completely devoured [Shiva's Wrath] in a year." Ling Yue reminded An Qingyu, not forgetting to add a word of caution as he looked at her crazed eyes.

"Okay, you should leave now, I can't hold back anymore..." An Qingyu said without blinking, her eyes fixed on the thawed corpse of the delirious voice.

Ling Yue nodded, then led Ning Bing to his home. Oh right, he forgot that his home had become a miracle.

"Let's go, we can only get a room for one night. We'll probably have to stay in hotels for the rest of the time." Without waiting for Ningbing's consent, Ling Yue took her hand and headed towards the largest hotel in the vicinity.

......

......

Three months later, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

"Tomorrow is the New Year, let me take you to buy some clothes. It's not good to always wear the same outfit." Ling Yue said, looking at Ning Bing's Yan Ling Ji cosplay outfit. Although the outfit was very beautiful and suited Ning Bing well, men are always fickle and prefer unknown surprises.

"Yes, I'll do as Master says." Ningbing's lips parted slightly. Ling Yue had already ordered her right nails to be changed back, because he preferred the original look.

Moreover, after these three months, their relationship was almost complete; they had done almost everything except what Ningbing didn't understand.

Inside the commercial street, Ling Yue, dressed in casual clothes, held Ning Bing's hand and looked around. Although things from ten years ago in Cangnan City had disappeared, the people there seemed to be completely unaware of it, and were frantically building in Cangnan as if they had discovered a business opportunity.

In just three months, apart from having fewer buildings and fewer people, Cangnan City was no different from before.

"Hey! I think that dress looks good!" Suddenly, Ling Yue, who was already on the road, had a bright idea and pointed ahead.

Ningbing looked ahead, but turned her head away in embarrassment at the first glance.

"This, this is just a maid outfit..." Ning Bing blushed, not daring to look Ling Yue in the eye. Then, her demeanor changed abruptly, and she suddenly leaned close to Ling Yue's ear and whispered:

"If Master likes it, I can wear it alone for Master tonight." Ningbing's voice carried a hint of seduction, her red vertical pupils looking at Ling Yue with a dreamy gaze, anticipating Ling Yue's answer.

"Okay, then let's buy a few of them. I'll let you wear them for me when I have time." After Ling Yue finished speaking, he pulled Ning Bing inside.

Ningbing didn't expect her usually joking master to be serious this time, so she gritted her teeth and followed along.

"This one, this one, and that one." Ling Yue started picking out clothes he liked as soon as he entered the door. At first, he picked out clothes that were fairly conventional, but the more he picked, the less fabric the clothes had, and in the end, they were basically not for the sake of looking good at all.

“Master, maybe we should buy less. Ningbing is afraid of wasting money…” Under Lingyue’s tutelage, Ningbing had also learned to be stubborn and concerned about saving face, but her words had the opposite effect.

"Afraid of wasting money? No problem, I have plenty of money!" With that, Ling Yue casually pulled a black card out of his pocket.

"Waiter, swipe the card!"

Frozen: (；′⌒`)

"Hey, Ling Yue, Ning Bing, you're back!" Inside the Peace Agency, Hong Ying's face was covered in white flour, and beside her were Zhao Kongcheng, Wen Qimo, Si Xiaonan, and Leng Xuan.

"Yes, I just bought clothes for Ningbing." To prevent people from thinking he was bullying Ningbing, Ling Yue explained.

"Tch, are you buying clothes? I'm too embarrassed to call you out!" Zhao Kongcheng looked at Ling Yue with disdain upon hearing this.

“Indeed, Ningbing’s face is so red, and you don’t even have any clothes you’ve bought yet…” Si Xiaonan nodded in analysis.

Seeing that everyone was thinking the wrong thing, Ningbing blushed even more.

Ling Yue felt that if he didn't explain his persona, he would become a pervert in their eyes, so he quickly took out a relatively conservative outfit from his space.

"Why would I lie to you during the Chinese New Year? Besides, I've already put the clothes in my spatial storage, why would I carry them in my hands?"

Despite Ling Yue providing ample evidence, Zhao Kongcheng still covered his ears with both hands.

"I don't care, I don't care."

Seeing Zhao Kongcheng like this, Ling Yue suddenly felt a bit itchy to fight.

"How about we practice? I'm about to break through to the Boundless Realm, so I can get a feel for it on you."

"Forget it, I'm still just a lowly Chi Realm cultivator. You should try to get a feel for things from Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan is much stronger than me."

Faced with Ling Yue's threat, Zhao Kongcheng immediately backed down and also pushed Si Xiaonan forward.

"I can't beat them either, don't come looking for me."

...

As everyone was talking, bright red lights rose from the ground into the sky outside the window, accompanied by a whooshing sound.

BOOM! BOOM BOOM!

Bright and dazzling fireworks exploded in the sky, burning like flames and blooming with unparalleled beauty in the night sky.

Red, green, and yellow fireworks shone brightly in everyone's eyes.

Ling Yue and the others exchanged glances and smiled at each other.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Squad 136."

Happy New Year, stranger outside the phone.
