Evening.
A bamboo forest in a corner of Zhu City.
Yu Xian appeared out of thin air, just in time to see a large panda leading a chubby little panda.
He actually really liked pandas. If he hadn't been in a hurry before, he would have definitely petted the pandas' heads and fed them bamboo.
Now that he wasn't in a hurry, he teleported over after showering at home, ready to play with the pandas.
"Auntie Panda, I truly like Xiaomei. Please let Xiaomei be with me!"
Yu Xian cautiously approached the large panda, then, as if possessed by an actor, he said to the large panda with a serious expression, finally looking at the little panda with deep affection.
The large panda sat on the ground, calmly breaking off bamboo and slowly eating it, while the little panda lay behind its mother's backside, curiously watching Yu Xian's act.
"Auntie Panda, since you don't object, I'll take Xiaomei!"
Yu Xian immediately pushed his luck, slowly walking towards the large panda. Then he saw one of the large panda's paws release the bamboo and begin to clench into a fist. Without a word, he directly used a spatial leap to escape.
This large panda possessed Eagle Rank strength; if it swatted him, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
In fact, transcendent beings have very high intelligence, especially those who often live among humans; they basically understand human speech.
"Mommy, am I called Xiaomei?"
Seeing Yu Xian run off, the little panda curiously cried out to the large panda.
The large panda remained calm. It picked up a piece of bamboo and growled, "Idiot, you're a male panda. At most, you can only be called Ergou!"
"But I'm a panda, not a dog," the little panda retorted.
The large panda calmly said, "Then call yourself Ermao."
"But I'm a panda, not a cat!" the little panda cried out unhappily.
The large panda slapped the little panda, making it roll around, and growled, "Is your butt itching? You're so troublesome."
Undoubtedly, this was definitely a biological mother; she didn't hesitate to take action when necessary.
...
...
On the other side, Yu Xian didn't know that the little panda was being beaten because of his impromptu performance.
He sat by the window in a small noodle shop, slurping down old chicken soup bamboo-fragrant noodles.
This type of noodle was a specialty of Zhu City. The noodles had a strong bamboo aroma and a very unique taste. People who liked it would probably love it, while those who didn't would likely be unable to eat more than one bite.
Yu Xian felt that he probably liked it. With the enhancement of Super Taste, he could discern that these noodles were made from very good bamboo leaf juice mixed with flour, and during cooking, a sweet chicken broth was used as the base, paired with various high-quality ingredients, making the taste absolutely superb.
After eating eight bowls of noodles in one go, Yu Xian walked out of the noodle shop with a satisfied expression.
Speaking of which, Vampires actually hated the smell of garlic. Staying in an enclosed space full of garlic for a long time could even cause them to faint.
But after Yu Xian awakened Super Stomach and Super Taste, he seemed to have become immune to this weakness. At least now, he ate garlic with great relish, feeling no discomfort at all.
Next, he tried to chat up several little pandas, but without exception, they were all driven away by the large pandas, who treated him like a troublemaking youth.
After playing for about ten minutes, he teleported to Cui City, then flew in the direction of Ice City.
Midnight.
A city without walls appeared before Yu Xian's eyes.
This city was so vast that even flying in the air, he couldn't see its boundaries. Even though it was already midnight, the entire city was still brightly lit, and the roads were bustling with traffic, like a continuous river of light.
Yanjing had arrived.
Yu Xian slowly descended, and instantly, several mental forces swept over him.
He immediately looked at a tall building not far away. His Silver Blood-enhanced vision allowed him to see a young woman holding a cane standing at the very top of the building, also looking at him.
The woman wore a black dress, her red hair blowing in the wind. Her left eye was covered by an eye patch, and when their eyes met, her single right eye emitted a sharp gleam, giving Yu Xian a rebellious feeling.
Tiger Class?
As expected of Yanjing, there were so many strong individuals.
Yu Xian withdrew his gaze and landed on the ground. A moment later, a police car stopped beside him.
A Battle Cop in black armor got out of the car, saluted, and said, "Hello, please show me your identification."
Yu Xian nodded, took out the Qilin identification from his storage ring and handed it to the Battle Cop. His identity was quickly verified, and the officer saluted, returned his identification, and informed him that flying was prohibited in Yanjing; if he wished to fly in the air, he needed to apply and register first.
Clearly, his flight earlier had already alerted the entire Battle Cop system.
After that, no Battle Cops came to verify his identity again; even police cars passing by him didn't stop.
Yu Xian held his phone and contacted Bat, saying, "Bat, I've arrived in Yanjing. I'll send Zhong Wuliang's body directly to you. Send me your location."
"You send me your location. I'm driving right now," Bat quickly replied.
Vampires were all night owls, so Yu Xian didn't hesitate at all and directly sent his location to Bat, who said he would arrive in fifteen minutes.
Yanjing had been expanding, and the 35th Ring Road had already been completed a few years ago.
Yu Xian's current location was probably on the not-yet-officially-recognized 36th Ring Road.
Because each ring was larger than the last, the total length of the 36th Ring Road was already extremely exaggerated. So Yu Xian estimated that Qilin's headquarters should be on the 34th or 33rd Ring, otherwise Bat couldn't arrive so quickly.
He sat on a bench by the roadside meant for rest, and casually attached many extremely tiny spatial bubbles into the indentations on the back of the chair, feeling a peculiar sensation, like secretly sticking boogers on the back of a chair.
Fifteen minutes later, a bulletproof SUV stopped in front of him. The window slowly rolled down, and the young man in the driver's seat said, "Get in!"
"Are you Bat?" Yu Xian stood up, opened the passenger door, got in and closed the door, then asked.
Bat's temperament was very similar to his, but Bat's skin was even paler, even tinged with blue, more like a dead person. Because he had two hearts beating, his skin color was very close to normal, just paler, closer to what was called 'cold white skin'.
"Nice to meet you, my codename is Bat," Bat introduced himself while driving.
Yu Xian smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Xian Yu. Are we going to headquarters now?"
"Mm." Bat acknowledged and continued driving.
Yu Xian realized that Bat wasn't very talkative, so he lowered his head and continued playing with his phone. He was looking at Yanjing's food guide, planning to return and feast after placing the spatial bubbles in Ice City.
Half an hour later, Bat drove the car into an unremarkable building. After parking in the parking lot, he led Yu Xian into the building using a key card.
The moment Yu Xian stepped into the building, he was astonished.
The outwardly unremarkable building had a highly futuristic interior, and the entire building's internal space was expanded. A small room was larger than a football field.
Yu Xian felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, following Bat while being dazzled by everything he saw.
Dragon race girls were truly beautiful, and there were mermaids manipulating water currents passing by. The person with the Leizhenzi bloodline, wearing a mask, made his head feel numb just by looking at them.
When passing by certain rooms, through huge glass windows, he could see zombies, malevolent ghosts, fierce ghosts, and demonic creatures suppressed by chains, talismans, and magic tools, while researchers were collecting special tissues from them.
As expected of the headquarters, there was truly every kind of strange thing. Yu Xian really felt like his horizons had been broadened!
