Berserk God of War

81: Chapter 081 Her Codename: Substitute 81: Chapter 081 Her Codename: Substitute Su Zhenglong was both shocked and elated, hardly daring to believe it.

Doctor Sun had mentioned more than once that the inner core of the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel could heal the severe wounds on his body.

But Su Zhenglong was also acutely aware of the difficulty in capturing a Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel.

“Ajing, how did you manage to do this?”

Su Zhenglong’s voice trembled.

Knowing that with the inner core of the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel, he wouldn’t have to worry about dying anymore.

Even if it couldn’t fully heal him, it would definitely suppress the terrifying Earth Realm True Qi within his body, ensuring he could live another decade or so without constantly falling into comas.

Sikong Jing replied with a smile, “I entered Yun Mountain specifically to capture a Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel, and luckily managed to catch one.”

Upon hearing this, the whole room fell silent.

Suddenly, Mei Xiaofang rubbed her aching head and said, “Ajing, no matter what, both your father-in-law and I are very, very grateful to you, but the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel…

It is said that even the former Lord of Yunzhou couldn’t capture it.”

Sikong Jing was bragging again.

When would he change this habit?

Nevertheless, Mei Xiaofang tried to keep her tone gentle as she delicately pointed out the issue.

She just hoped that Sikong Jing would soon get rid of his habit of boasting.

Sikong Jing was taken aback.

He couldn’t miss the implication in her words and said with a bitter smile, “It just so happened that a Heavenly Realm Demon Beast, a Gold Splitting Steel Teeth Tiger, had injured the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel.

I took the opportunity to grab the core and run.”

It was such a helpless situation.

I, Sikong Jing, the Invincible God General, have never done such sneaky things, but now I’ve made myself look devious.

Run after grabbing – that’s really not my style.

Hearing this explanation, Su Zhenglong also smiled.

He patted Sikong Jing’s shoulder and said, “Going deep into Ru Yun Mountain is too perilous.

Next time you encounter a Heavenly Realm Demon Beast, you might not be so lucky.”

“In the future, please don’t take such risks.

I’m already this old; if I die, then so be it.”

Su Zhenglong’s heartfelt words made Sikong Jing feel that everything was worth it, even if he had to be a bit unscrupulous.

Next, Su Zhenglong needed to rest well and prepare to take the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel’s inner core.

And Sikong Jing personally took out the inner core and even made a scarf from the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel’s fur as a gift for Su Yuexi.

“Thank you, Brother Jing.”

Su Yuexi smiled sweetly as she took the scarf, overjoyed.

She wrapped the scarf around her neck and then pulled it up, covering her enchanting face tightly.

Seeing Sikong Jing’s puzzled look, Su Yuexi quickly pulled down the scarf and stuck out her tongue, saying, “It’s a habit.”

At that moment, Su Yuexi was extremely adorable.

Sikong Jing couldn’t help but pull her into his arms and kissed her face, then said, “Tonight, I have another gift for you.

I need to go to the Heavenly Martial Pavilion now and shouldn’t keep the two Generals waiting.”

Watching Sikong Jing leave the yard, Su Yuexi’s face almost turned red enough to drip, filled with happiness.

…

In the Heavenly Martial Pavilion, Lu Zhao handed Sikong Jing three pieces of Green Jade Paper, with Old Zhang and Ah Hu standing beside him.

Quickly, under the gaze of the three men, Sikong Jing inscribed something onto the Green Jade Paper and handed one to Lu Zhao, saying, “This is the reward I promised you seven days ago.”

Lu Zhao looked invigorated and hurriedly said, “I, feel undeserving.

I haven’t been of much help.”

Although he had sent people to protect the Su family, nothing had happened in the meantime.

Instead, an incident had occurred at the Martial Arts Arena that morning.

And he hadn’t been able to assist in any way.

Sikong Jing shook his head, forcefully handing it over.

What he promised, he would deliver; he surely couldn’t wait until after a crisis to give the reward, could he?

Then, Sikong Jing gave the remaining two pieces of Green Jade Paper to Old Zhang and Ah Hu, explaining, “These are Cultivation Techniques tailored for you after observing you both.”

“It won’t take long for your strengths to surpass Chou Ye.

Don’t worry about any trouble.”

As Sikong Jing spoke, the two of them also took the Green Jade Paper, and when their awareness penetrated into it, they were shaken to the core.

It actually contained a Middle Stage Xuan-grade Cultivation Technique, and they were engrossed in an instant, seamlessly connected, and very suitable for them.

In less than half an hour, both of them had successively broken through to the Human Realm Second Level.

When they opened their eyes, they could no longer find Sikong Jing.

“Young Master Sikong has already left.

Gentlemen, do you know Young Master Sikong’s identity?” Lu Zhao asked cautiously.

The two men lazily lifted their eyelids and shook their heads vehemently.

At this moment, they were both overwhelmed and bewildered.

Sikong Jing had torn apart a Qian Yubao with his bare hands, slaughtered the experts of two Great Shang establishments, easily captured a Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel, and just now, they had witnessed him inscribing a Middle Stage Xuan-grade Cultivation Technique with their own eyes.

Especially the inscription of a Cultivation Technique—was that an ability within the reach of the Dark Realm Fourth Level?

Every time, they were so shaken, it was incomprehensible.

But they were thankful, thankful that their choice to resist Chou Ye was the right one.

With this Cultivation Technique, they might even have a chance to advance into the Earth Realm.

Encountering Brother Sikong was an opportunity they could not have imagined before.

…

After leaving the Heavenly Martial Pavilion, Sikong Jing did not head home immediately.

Instead, he went to a weapons shop to select a long spear that suited him.

He had also wanted to buy a good sword for Su Yuexi, but Yunye City was too small, and after looking around, he still couldn’t find one to his liking.

Helpless, he gave up.

It was getting late, and Sikong Jing took a shortcut to get home in time for dinner.

So he took a shortcut down an alley.

Suddenly, a faint murderous aura came from the adjacent alley, along with voices.

A gloomy male voice said, “Substitute, where have you been these past few days?

Why couldn’t I contact you?”

Substitute?

It must be someone’s code name, Sikong Jing thought silently.

But such matters were of no concern to him, so he naturally pretended not to hear and continued walking towards the Su Residence.

But just then, another female voice responded, “Wen Lie, where I go doesn’t seem to require reporting to you, does it?

As long as there’s no assignment, I am free to go wherever I wish.”

It’s her!

Sikong Jing suddenly stopped in his tracks; that voice belonged to the black-robed woman who had sought the rodent for her father.

Smack!

Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed through the alley.

Wen Lie spoke bitterly, “As an assassin, you do not have the privilege of freedom of movement, you must stay put when there is no assignment.”

Su Yue Immortal didn’t cover her face nor speak, her eyes still firm.

“Moreover, as an assassin, you cannot lose contact; that is the rule of our organization,” Wen Lie’s voice was chilling to the extreme.

Suddenly, he lunged forward, grabbing the bundle in Su Yue Immortal’s hands, and said coldly, “Show me what’s inside.”

Su Yue Immortal’s complexion changed drastically as she clutched the bundle, saying, “Don’t touch my things.”

Rip…

The bundle tore apart in the scuffle, and the body of a snow-white demon beast suddenly hit the ground.

Wen Lie took a close look, exclaimed in shock, “Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel!”

His face was full of astonishment, and then incredulously, he looked up, “You’ve been hunting for a Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel these past few days, and you actually managed to catch it.”

As the words fell, Wen Lie extended his hand, and the body of the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel instantly fell into his grasp.

Su Yue Immortal’s face changed again, and she screamed as she lunged forward, “Give it back to me!”
