In the bar scene, there is a particularly unique method for flirting. This method has an almost one hundred percent success rate, but behind such a high success rate lies many extremely dirty tactics.
Bringing a girl to the bar and getting her drunk before taking her home is called "Body Pickup." However, for young people who truly know how to play the game, this is actually a low-level tactic, especially for the wealthy second-generation; they look down on such actions even more.
Right now, I feel like a sleazy man who has successfully executed a "Body Pickup" if it weren't for the fact that I am currently flying with my sword.
The Flying Sword beneath my feet sways unsteadily, but it's not because I can't bear the weight of both myself and Luan. The reason for this is that my magical power has suddenly become difficult to control. In the past, I could control my magic as delicately as threads, but now it flows out like water gushing from a faucet. While I can turn off the faucet, I cannot change the flow of water.
Fortunately, I have had some flying experience. Although it is shaky along the way, I am still flying under the influence of alcohol. The good thing is that at this height, there are no other means of transportation!
The speed of flying with the sword isn't slow; before long, I arrived at the Red Bean Love Noodle Shop. However, the doors of Red Bean Affection were tightly shut, and there wasn't a single person inside.
Generally speaking, although Red Bean Affection is closed at this hour, both Qu and Huan live in the noodle shop. How could it be that there isn't anyone around?
With no other options, I could only head to Uncle Xing's office.
Recently, for some reason, the Heavenly Bureau of Human Affairs has had an unusually high volume of tasks to handle. Since I've returned so many times, I haven't seen Jin again. Uncle Xing's office only had him sitting alone at JZ Normal University.
Currently, Uncle Xing basically stays in his office without going out; he even has someone bring him meals.
However, Uncle Xing's office isn't far from here, so there's no need to fly with my sword. I planned to just carry Luan and run over.
As I activated Wind Walk beneath my feet, each step felt invigorating as if my Wind Walking Technique had become faster. But I couldn't dwell on that; Luan's breathing had become rapid. If she really turned into a 'corpse,' that would be trouble.
From a distance, I saw that Uncle Xing's office still had its lights on and seemed to have quite a few people inside. This was good news; more people meant more help, right?
Standing in front of Uncle Xing's office door, since both hands were occupied holding Luan, I originally intended to push the door open with my body. However, unexpectedly, the door was locked. I called out several times for Uncle Xing but received no response.
With no other choice left, I decided to force my way in.
I took two steps back and then leaped into the air to deliver a fierce kick to the door.
"Crack!" With a mournful sound, the door was kicked open, creating a large hole, but it seemed the door itself did not fully give way.
It was one thing that the door didn't open, but my leg was stuck in the hole. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but the issue was that I was currently holding someone named Luan in my arms.
For a moment, I couldn't move forward or backward; it was incredibly awkward.
However, even though I couldn't kick the door open, the noise I made had already attracted the attention of those inside.
Thank goodness! Someone finally opened the door!
The one who opened it was Qing, the receptionist for Uncle Xing. She had been missing for some time. But then again, people under Uncle Xing are not ordinary, so I always assumed Qing had gone out on a mission.
"Yin Zheng'an?" Qing looked at me in shock. "What are you doing? Kicking down doors at this hour? Who are you holding?"
"Forget that, just get me down; my ligaments are about to stretch."
"Oh, okay." Qing began to help me move my leg.
"Is Uncle Xing here? Hurry up; Luan is injured and is already losing too much blood."
"Who? Luan?" Qing quickly took Luan from my arms. This girl seemed to have much more strength than I did! Qing examined the wound on Luan's back. "Leave it to me; you go inside first; there's a meeting happening."
"You can treat injuries?"
"Yes." Qing smiled. "I handle all injuries for the Department of Physical Education."
Well then, if that's the case, I'll trust Qing. Also, Uncle Xing and his team are in a meeting? Weren't they supposed to be at Drunken Hero dealing with those messes? Good thing I didn't wait there; otherwise, I would have been in big trouble!
Although this is the Department of Physical Education, there is still a dedicated conference room, and right now, it was already filled with people.
Sitting in the room was Uncle Xing, and aside from him, Red Boy also occupied a prominent position.
As soon as I pushed the door open, everyone's attention was drawn to me.
Well, most of the people inside were unfamiliar to me.
"Yin Zheng'an?" Uncle Xing pointed at me. "He is our contact with the Underworld and currently serves as the Human Judge in Yama's Hall."
Oh, he’s introducing me. That makes sense; I’m still somewhat of a newcomer in the Heavenly Bureau of Human Affairs. I was only promoted to a captain position due to my identity in the Underworld. Unlike Red Boy, whose strength is evident and whose background is solid! So even though Red Boy is currently residing with me, his status in the Heavenly Bureau of Human Affairs is actually a bit higher than mine.
"Find a place to sit down; we have some matters to discuss," Uncle Xing said.
"Okay."
I must say, Uncle Xing is quite different now compared to usual; he has taken on a bit of a leadership demeanor.
"We have already discussed the issue with Zombie Ba. By the way, the one responsible for handling the Zombie Ba incident is none other than Yin Zheng'an, who just walked in. Yin Zheng'an, please explain the situation at that time."
Well, I arrived and immediately had my own business to attend to; it seems I’ve walked right into it, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
"Um, the formation used to suppress Zombie Ba was constructed using the Dry Earth Formation. Due to its age, the grand array has already collapsed. Beneath the array was a divine beast, Pixiu, which is no longer by my side. I was able to re-suppress Zombie Ba thanks to Pixiu's assistance."
I provided an overview of Zombie Ba's situation, but I hadn’t done anything significant since then; my Azure Flower Robe had already attached itself to me without any blind Taoist around.
"Sigh." Uncle Xing sighed. "As you all know, the Underworld is actually at its last gasp; if it doesn’t stabilize, it will collapse. So everyone needs to pay close attention in your respective areas and make sure not to become a breakthrough point."
"Uncle Xing, what’s going on with the Underworld?" I didn’t understand Uncle Xing’s words and asked, "Is it about the Evil Cultivators invading? It seems like some ghosts imprisoned in the Underworld have escaped as well."
"I’m already aware of the ghost situation and have treated it as a mission," Uncle Xing replied. "I will explain more about the Underworld later; for now, just listen."
"Okay."
"Is there anyone else who has a report?" Uncle Xing asked the people below.
"Director." A person who looked like a village chief stood up. "Did you not send a few people from the headquarters to investigate Blood Cultivation? It has been discovered that the source of Blood Cultivation is an ancient tomb. The people from the headquarters have already gone down, but we have lost contact with them. We may need the headquarters to send some support; otherwise, those people are likely in grave danger."
"Blood Cultivation?" Didn't this start happening when I left Xi'an? Later, it was handed over to Lin Zhao and the others. What happened? Did they go into the tomb? By the way, wasn't there someone among Lin Zhao's group who was experienced in Tomb Raiding? How could something happen underground? But then again, those ancient tombs are from many years ago.
"Yin Zheng'an." Uncle Xing called my name again. "It seems you were involved in this matter as well?"
"I had some contact with it," I replied. "But wasn't there also someone named Li Su?"
"Li Su has also gone down, and his fate is unknown," the 'village chief' said anxiously.
Li Su's skills are no less than mine. He went into the tomb too? And he's missing?
"Alright, after this meeting, I'll have someone take support over. Please sit down. Is there anything else?" Uncle Xing nodded slightly.
"Director, it seems we have a group of Yin Soldiers appearing in our area, but no one can catch them."
"Wait a minute, doesn't that group of Yin Soldiers have a leader holding a compass?" I asked in surprise. Yin Soldiers? Why does that sound so familiar?
"You know about them?" The person who stood up was also very surprised.
"Yes, you don't need to worry about that group of Yin Soldiers; they are heading towards the Ghost Gate of Fengdu." Haven't those Yin Soldiers arrived yet?
"But my area of responsibility is Hainan!"
Alright, so Wang Ni guessed correctly; that group of Yin Soldiers actually got lost and ended up in Hainan. Isn't that too far off? Also, how did they cross the sea?
"When you see them again, just have someone take them to Fengdu."
"Okay." The person sat down.
"Is there anything else?" Uncle Xing continued to ask.
After the meeting, Uncle Xing called me aside: "Yin Zheng'an, what's going on with your Dantian? It feels a bit chaotic."
Can he really tell? It seems that although Uncle Xing is a bit slow, his cultivation is no joke.
"My master might have come by," I said. "Right now, I have Three Drops of Essence Blood in my body; one drop is from a Pixiu, and I don't know where the other two drops came from."
"Essence of Blood?" Uncle Xing frowned. "Your master wouldn't give you anything harmful. The instability in your Dantian is probably because you haven't been able to balance the Three Drops of Essence Blood completely. How about this: you take charge of the earlier Blood Cultivation."
"So you want me to go into the tomb?" I immediately understood, lowering my eyebrows as I looked at Uncle Xing. "That's not fair; you can't treat me like some beast."
Great, just when one mission hasn't ended, another one comes up, and it's a field mission at that. Are you trying to make it impossible for me to live?
"No," Uncle Xing said seriously. "What I mean is if you want to balance those Three Drops of Essence Blood, then the Blood Cultivation will help you."
"Really?" I asked suspiciously.
