【Host: Li Zhen】
【Realm: Pseudo-Emperor (0.01%) (+)】
【Physique: Mortal (1%) (+)】
【Divine Ability: Fiery Golden Eyes · 0% (+)】
【Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Immortal Scripture · Initial Chapter】
【Demon God Value: 101.2】
Seeing the 101 points of Demon God Value, Li Zhen tentatively tapped the plus sign next to "Pseudo-Emperor."
100 points of Demon God Value were deducted, and the value in the realm column changed to 1.01%.
The next moment, Li Zhen felt the power within his body grow more substantial, seemingly accompanied by other indescribable changes.
A look of joy appeared in Li Zhen’s eyes.
The improvement might seem small, but at his current level, normal cultivation would take at least a year or two to achieve the same gain.
Now, he only needed to kill one seventh-tier early-stage Demon Lord to increase it by 1%.
"If I kill another 99 early-stage Demon Lords, wouldn't I be able to break through directly to the Emperor Realm?"
【Ding, Demon God Value +0.1!】
At this moment, his phone rang.
Li Zhen answered it.
"Boss, there’s a big deal that needs your approval!"
A very respectful voice came through the receiver.
Since wealth points could be exchanged for lifespan, Li Zhen had built a bit of a business empire over the years. The largest trading center in the Yangcheng black market was one of his properties.
"Alright, I’ll head over tomorrow!"
After hanging up, Li Zhen drove to the Yangcheng Police Bureau.
His first priority was to find Tang Yun.
The girl hadn’t returned home since she left. Working at the police bureau gave him the perfect excuse to find her.
"Oh, Brother Zhen, why are you only just showing up?"
As soon as he parked, a scruffy youth in jeans hopped over.
"What’s wrong?"
Li Zhen looked at Huang Xing with a smile.
"A beauty! Her name is Tang Yun. She just came out of seclusion. Director Chen sent her with my uncle to track down that Demon. If you’d come ten minutes earlier, you would have seen her!"
Huang Xing was excited, his face beaming whenever he mentioned Tang Yun.
"Heh heh heh, Tang Yun glanced at me right before she left. Maybe she saw the greatness in my future!"
A few others walked in, and upon hearing Huang Xing mention Tang Yun, one of them said with a dreamy expression.
"Screw off, damn it. Go to the bathroom with me right now; I’ll let you take a look at your own ugly mug in the toilet!"
"Exactly. My blood energy just broke through; I’m a Quasi-Warrior now. If any beauty is going to look at anyone, it’s going to be me. How on earth do you have the guts to say something like that, you nobody?"
The group started bickering and fooling around.
Li Zhen was taken aback when everyone mentioned Tang Yun.
What a coincidence?
So that’s why the girl hadn't returned home—she had been awakening.
Li Zhen now understood why the Demon had tracked down his home; it must have been drawn by the aura of Tang Yun’s awakening.
"Stop thinking about these ridiculous things; you don't stand a chance!"
At this time, Sister Huang walked over, looked at the young people in the bureau, and said with a laugh.
"Why not?"
"That’s right. Spiritual energy has been getting denser these past two years. We might soon become Warriors and get transferred to the Special Affairs Bureau. Status isn't an issue at all anymore!"
"He’s not married, she’s not married. Maybe the great beauty Tang will fall for one of us guys!"
"Yeah, yeah! Matters of the heart, you never know!"
The others protested, speaking up one after another.
"Tang Yun is married," Li Zhen said.
She was his wife, after all!
Sister Huang looked at Li Zhen in surprise and laughed.
"Zhenzi is right; Tang Yun is married!"
"Besides, Tang Yun’s background is likely very complicated. You little ones shouldn't get any ideas; be careful not to get burned!"
"Damn it, who is Tang Yun’s husband? Once I become a real Warrior, I’m definitely going to challenge him!"
"Kill him!"
Hearing this, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, vowing not to let anyone stop them from finding out who her husband was.
Li Zhen was speechless at these energetic animals.
Under Sister Huang’s direction, the group went out, laughing and joking, to patrol and search for the Demon.
"Brother Zhen, how did you know Tang was married?"
After leaving the bureau, Huang Xing looked at Li Zhen curiously.
"Didn't you say you hadn't seen her?"
Li Zhen shrugged. "Didn't I take leave this Friday? I went to get married along the way. Tang Yun is my wife!"
*Screech!*
A harsh sound of braking rang out, and Huang Xing turned to stare at Li Zhen, stunned.
Li Zhen faced him calmly; everyone would find out eventually.
A full two minutes passed.
"Hahahaha..."
Huang Xing suddenly let out an exaggerated laugh.
"Brother Zhen, you... hahahaha, you’re killing me! Tang Yun is your wife? Hahahaha... it’s fine for us brothers to brag, but don't joke about a girl’s reputation!"
"Hahaha, Tang Yun is your wife? I might as well say Li Wanyu is my wife!"
Li Wanyu was a genius girl from the capital and the youngest female Grandmaster in Daxia.
Li Zhen’s face darkened. Was it really that ridiculous that Tang Yun was his wife?
He was quite handsome, after all!
Moreover, he was the Ninth Demon God, the strongest person in the world. There weren't many women worthy of him. If anything, Tang Yun was the one getting the better end of the deal.
Just as the two were driving their patrol, on the other side, the Deputy Director of the Special Affairs Bureau, Huang Zongxiang, led a few others along the trail left by the Demon, arriving near the apartment complex where Li Zhen lived.
Looking at the surroundings, Tang Yun felt a sense of familiarity.
That’s right, this is where Li Zhen lives!
Tang Yun’s beautiful eyes sparkled, causing the young men around her to breathe rapidly, their gazes toward her growing even more fanatical.
Being stared at by so many people made her feel as if a secret had been discovered, and she felt quite embarrassed.
That morning, she had left a note and gone to report to the Yangcheng Special Affairs Bureau.
It wasn't until she walked into the Bureau that she realized she had forgotten the name of her neighborhood, let alone the way back.
Once inside, her bloodline had awakened, and she had only just emerged from her seclusion today.
Tang Yun suddenly felt very guilty toward Li Zhen.
"He must think I’m a bad woman!"
"I’ll explain everything to him properly when I get home after work."
Thinking about facing Li Zhen after work, a scarlet flush crept over Tang Yun’s fair face, which then began to burn.
Even she hadn't expected that she would have the courage to do such an embarrassing thing that night.
"Miss Tang, what’s wrong? Do you have a cold?"
Someone nearby had been watching Tang Yun closely and immediately stepped forward to ask with concern.
The surrounding people scoffed at the sight.
*Take a look at your own face in the mirror.*
*Pockmarked face, do you think you’re a diamond in the rough?*
Tang Yun’s expression was cold, and she did not answer.
"Miss Tang, are you really married?"
Once someone asked this, everyone around pricked up their ears.
Tang Yun nodded.
Jealousy instantly ignited in their eyes.
"Miss Tang, where is your husband from? Why not call him out for a meal sometime!"
"He lives right here in Yangcheng. We’ll treat you all to a meal another day!!" Tang Yun said.
*Living right here in Yangcheng?*
The jealousy in the eyes of the men grew even more intense.
"Such a beautiful woman, I wonder which little bastard got lucky!"
"Don't let me find out who you are!"
"Quiet!" Huang Zongxiang’s expression suddenly changed.
Everyone looked at Huang Zongxiang with confusion.
"The information was wrong. I’m afraid this Demon has already broken through the seventh tier and become a Demon Lord!"
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone’s faces turned pale.
