Urban All-Round Master

”Jiuhuang Sect? Hehe. Sorry about that. Blame it on being in Jiangzhou,” Lin Zifeng chuckled and then lay down on the bed, falling asleep right away...

When he woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon. Huahua and Tangtang had gone back to the company.

Zhang Xixi and Mu Yang had also gone out shopping.

Only Nangong Bing was at home, lying in her room, cultivating the unparalleled power system brought to her by the Star Ring.

At this moment, the Star Ring was hovering above her head, its green light filling the entire room.

A row of complex, ancient demon patterns entwined and lingered in front of her.

All these ancient demon pattern symbols were the complex characters from the two ancient steles inside the Star Ring that she saw every night before sleeping.

After memorizing and sensing them for dozens of days, she had already remembered these ancient texts. However, these text symbols might be too ancient, or perhaps they were never real characters. Nangong Bing had noted these texts down, sought out some archaeology experts to identify them, but regrettably, in the eyes of those experts, these ancient text symbols weren’t real characters at all.

The conclusion was actually that they looked like symbols drawn by children...

As time went by, Nangong Bing felt more and more that these complex and ancient symbols were increasingly mysterious, leading to the demon patterns she was now creating!

”Whoosh!” At this moment, her eyes suddenly opened, and two beams of red light shot out sharply. Yet, there appeared a red demon pattern symbol right in the center of her forehead between her brows!

The symbol resembled lightning, yet looked like flames. Very bizarre.

However, Nangong Bing herself didn’t notice this startling change. She continued to cultivate quietly.

As she kept cultivating, her consciousness was completely overrun.

The demon patterns in front of her increased, and eventually became overwhelming!

Suddenly! She stopped cultivating further, because if she continued, she wouldn’t be able to control her will.

”What’s happening? Why is my will being controlled by the Star Ring?” She frowned, constantly pondering the situation, because she already felt that the Star Ring seemed to be silently altering her will, and if this continued, it would only drive her more insane.

Not being able to control her own will would be an extremely terrifying problem.

”Hey!”

At this moment, Nangong Bing suddenly stood up, waved her palm towards the space, and a colorful blood-red demon pattern abruptly appeared floating in her palm.

The power within this demon pattern was immense, and if it were to be applied onto a human body, it would undoubtedly cause an explosion!

”So terrifying!”

The space trembled for a moment. She could clearly feel the powerful and heart-palpitating force of the space’s tremor.

”What are these runes exactly? If I managed to refine all these runes, wouldn’t my power be even stronger?” With this thought, Nangong Bing began to explore incessantly.

She wasn’t a woman who liked to wait around; now that her body had quietly changed, why not unravel all the mysteries of her existence?

But as time ticked by, she not only failed to unravel the mysteries of her own system, but neither did she decode the secrets of the Star Ring.

”It seems that with my current abilities, I’m still incapable of solving all these mysteries.” Nangong Bing muttered softly, then stood up. She walked to the door, intending to open it, but ultimately restrained herself.

”Forget it, I won’t look for him. He deceived me last night and didn’t even offer a proper apology. This kind of person is the most detestable,” Nangong Bing thought.

.........

On the other hand, after Lin Zifeng woke up and saw that there was no one at home, he felt a bit frustrated. In the morning, everyone was still at home. Now it was empty? Could they have all gone out to play?

Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng’s stomach growled with hunger, so he forced himself to prepare some food.

”Hmm?” Lin Zifeng raised an eyebrow. Upon descending the stairs, he saw a lot of dishes already laid out on the table. If he guessed correctly, it must have been Zhang Xixi who prepared them for him.

”Hehe, having a girlfriend who can cook is indeed wonderful,” Lin Zifeng smiled, his stomach growling with hunger, leaving him no choice but to eat.

But just as he was about to indulge, Nangong Bing, who was also starving, came down from upstairs.

Seeing Lin Zifeng devouring food like a starving ghost reincarnated, she found it both amusing and infuriating.

”Enjoying the meal, huh?” Nangong Bing came down the stairs, a slight smile on her lips, and her sharp gaze, as if small knives, was slicing through his skin.

”Eh! You’re home?” Lin Zifeng was startled while eating.

”...”

Nangong Bing rolled her eyes, ran a hand through her hair, ignored him, and entered the bathroom.

Lin Zifeng shrugged his shoulders indifferently, thinking that since she wasn’t paying attention to him, there was no need for him to bother with her either.

A meal was quickly finished cleanly. When Nangong Bing came out, he was lounging crookedly in the chair, a toothpick in his mouth, patting his belly.

Upon seeing the table with only bones left of the meal, she said nothing, only thinking that this guy could really eat.

”So, where were you last night? Didn’t even tell me, making me change outfits for nothing, and then you just took off. What’s the deal with that?” Nangong Bing stood in front of him, hands on her hips, examining him with a proud demeanor.

”Went to find someone,” Lin Zifeng blinked and said, ”Last night, I initially planned to bring you along, but since it wasn’t a sure thing yet, bringing you along might have put pressure on them.”

”I’m not a tiger; what pressure would there be?”

Nangong Bing was taken aback, thinking, am I that intimidating? It’s not like he described me as a tiger. Besides, I’m also part of the Huayu Group, contributing is only appropriate. Why does it seem different when it involves me?

”Oh, my lady, you just don’t get it. This time, the Charity Ambassador that our Huayu Group is trying to recruit is not as easy as I imagined. So, bringing you along last night would have only complicated matters. Therefore, the strategy I’m employing now is soft persistence. When the time is ripe, it will be easier.”

”Who is making you so troubled? It shouldn’t be that hard for Huayu Group to recruit a Charity Ambassador, right? Moreover, if you really need someone, there are many available candidates, aren’t there? Don’t you have a sister?”

”Sister!?” Lin Zifeng was taken aback, ”Right. How did I not think of her?”

Nangong Bing’s words woke him up from a dream; Lin Zifeng slapped his forehead sharply. Didn’t he have a god-sister? Now that he had reached the Sub-Saint Realm, treating her eye condition shouldn’t be a significant issue. The little girl is also kind-hearted; having her take on the role of Charity Ambassador would be much more suitable than Su Yueying.

Moreover, it had been a long time since he last saw Chuqing; he indeed missed her a lot.
