Chapter 1016: Chapter 60: Where Is the Path to Immortality in This World? (22)

Zhuifeng bought some dumplings from a small restaurant next to Mount Tai Train Station, and sat down with Mo Xiaofei to eat at a free resting spot outside the station.

Although the containers were just disposable lunch boxes, Zhuifeng bought quite a lot, including some other meat dishes besides dumplings, so the meal looked rather hearty.

As for why eat here, one reason is Mo Xiaofei doesn’t like crowded places, and the other is because Zhuifeng said it’s New Year’s Eve and they should have a good meal — the cash they scavenged from the house in the bamboo forest wasn’t much.

Moreover, Mo Xiaofei’s brother really enjoys shopping, and now he has a complete set of digital products — even Zhuifeng, who usually doesn’t care much about money, was feeling a bit distressed by Mo Xiaofei’s spending since leaving the bamboo forest.

Before they went out this time, Mo Xiaofei had already informed his family, so spending New Year’s Eve outside didn’t worry them — because Mo Xiaofei’s brother’s head is somewhat problematic, Zhuifeng quietly sent a safety message to Mo Xiaofei’s parents, barely managing the situation.

“New Year?” Mo Xiaofei frowned at the sumptuous meal in front of him — for him, it was indeed abundant.

The Qin Dynasty was over two thousand years ago, and the cooking techniques were quite simple. Modern food, despite its additives, provides far more flavor stimulation — though the ingredients here aren’t high-end.

“Yeah.” Zhuifeng nodded while eating the dumplings bought from ‘Sister-in-law Dumpling Restaurant’, “isn’t tomorrow the first day of the New Year? Brother, you didn’t know?”

Mo Xiaofei shook his head, “My accustomed New Year has passed, the next New Year is long away.”

Zhuifeng blinked, “Is it tomorrow, how could it have passed?”

Mo Xiaofei said calmly, “The lunar calendar’s October is the New Year I celebrate.”

October as New Year… Zhuifeng swallowed the dumplings and reached for the second one — his brother’s head was acting up again.

But speaking of that, some say knocking on a silly head might make it normal… Should I sneakily use an iron fist to correct brother’s brain?

Just the chance to test the power of the first form of Emperor’s Supreme Shock World Fist?

Brother, just wait for me to restore you with my respectful iron fist!

“Zhuifeng, someone is approaching!” Mo Xiaofei suddenly lowered his voice and spoke coldly.

This nearly made Zhuifeng choke; he hurriedly sipped some cola and patted his chest, then quickly became alert — behind him were two men in black suits.

One was tall and thin, the other was extraordinarily burly with a beard.

This bearded man gave Zhuifeng a familiar feeling… also, he sensed some monster’s aura from him.

Is this guy also a monster?

The thin man put his hand on Zhuifeng’s shoulder and directly said, “You guys, come with me for registration.”

Zhuifeng frowned and instinctively looked at Mo Xiaofei, only to see his brother calmly nodding.

…

The place was a quiet alley outside Mount Tai Train Station, Zhuifeng was still holding his lunch box, eating dumplings, while Mo Xiaofei stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an extraordinary aura.

This aura wasn’t what Zhuifeng thought, but the feeling experienced by the two men in black.

The two men in black exchanged a glance, then the thin man took out a small black notebook and said slowly, “My name is Yun Hui, I’m a team member from the Special Administration Bureau’s investigation department, and this is my colleague, called Old Wolf.”

Mo Xiaofei glanced casually at the credentials Yun Hui took out, then said plainly, “What’s the matter?”

“Quite arrogant, huh.” Old Wolf sneered, stepped forward, and exuded a sense of pressure — this pressure, however, didn’t disturb Zhuifeng who was eating dumplings, nor did it affect Mo Xiaofei, whom he thought was ordinary.

Old Wolf seemed to be increasing his oppressive presence, but Yun Hui lightly gestured to stop him.

Yun Hui smiled, “It’s like this, currently Mount Tai is under special management, all monsters and non-human entities entering Mount Tai need to register. However…”

Saying so, Yun Hui took out a box from which a small screen was projected. The screen showed an interface similar to identity information, but the interface was gray with many question marks, “However, you don’t seem to be on our registration list. Actually, every year we conduct a census… Why is this gentleman not in our database?”

“I… me?” Mo Xiaofei frowned.

Yun Hui nodded, “Yes, just you sir. But your companion Zhuifeng’s information is in our database, see.”

He twisted a button on the box, and the projected interface changed, showing Zhuifeng’s identity information.

Zhuifeng blinked, surprised at the information interface.

Name: Zhuifeng

Species: Wind-Chasing Wolf Monster

Age: About sixty

Current living location and status: City X, dropout, unemployed

Danger Level: Level One (Harmless)

“There really is… huh?” Zhuifeng blinked again, astonished. “But, I don’t remember making such a registration?”

Yun Hui calmly said, “City X is directly under Dragon Consultant’s jurisdiction; the Management Bureau doesn’t exist there. All monster information is annually submitted by the Lord himself. Although the guardianship info isn’t filled, we assume your guardian is Dragon Consultant. So your data must be provided by Dragon Consultant. It’s not surprising you’re unaware. As for why Dragon Consultant didn’t inform you, maybe you can ask yourself… By the way, I’m curious why you’re here too?”

“Dragon Consultant?” Zhuifeng was still in a daze.

Yun Hui cleared his throat, “Also known as Lord Long Xiruo.”

“Why didn’t you say that earlier, Dragon Consultant sounds so awkward…” Zhuifeng rolled his eyes.

Yun Hui was equally embarrassed… What monster doesn’t maintain some politeness with the Management Bureau? Even those internally resistant show some respect… Though you came from Long Xiruo’s domain, you’re still unaware of this!

Despite that, Yun Hui still maintained a certain level of politeness. He cleared his throat once more and said, “Let’s return to the matter of this gentleman… First, I need to confirm this gentleman’s name, and whether he is one of the ‘mainland’… Mr. Zhuifeng, you should know that the country does not allow ordinary people to know of our existence. If this gentleman is a common man, we only have one option: to clear his memory.”

“What? You want to clear my brother’s memory?” Zhuifeng immediately threw the dumpling in his hand to the ground, revealing a set of canine teeth.

“Don’t get agitated!” Yun Hui quickly said, “I mean clearing the relevant memories! Rest assured, our department has developed related magic, it’s painless and takes effect in half an hour… Wait, did you say that’s your brother? Is he also a demon?”

Zhuifeng shook his head and said, “My brother is human, but he’s still my brother.”

Yun Hui was surprised, but Old Wolf frowned at this moment and said, “A human, your brother?”

“Is there a problem?” Zhuifeng stared back, extremely dissatisfied.

At this time, Old Wolf walked over, and Yun Hui wanted to stop him. But Old Wolf simply waved him off, “Yun Hui, do you know why your performance doesn’t improve? It’s because you’re too indecisive and never straightforward! Did your mother not teach you that when dealing with disobedient children, all you need to do is give them a good beating until they listen?”

“This…” Yun Hui opened his mouth but couldn’t stop Old Wolf—in fact, in the Management Bureau, Old Wolf was a veteran who had stayed through multiple terms, while Yun Hui himself was just a newbie from this term. “Old Wolf, don’t be impulsive, this still is within Dragon Consultant’s jurisdiction…”

“So what if it’s a Consultant? If you can’t manage your turf’s demons, does it mean the Consultant doesn’t need to follow the rules?” Old Wolf snorted coldly and walked straight towards Mo Xiaofei and Zhuifeng.

Old Wolf merely glanced casually at Mo Xiaofei. Though the human had some aura of distinction, he wasn’t overly concerned. Instead, he looked down at Zhuifeng, coldly smiled, and said, “Hey, little dog. You consider yourself part of the Wolf Clan, right? But for some reason, from the first moment I saw you, I just didn’t like you!”

Zhuifeng, who had recently been hanging out with Mo Xiaofei, the model student, had curbed much of his behavior—but before this, Zhuifeng was strictly speaking a delinquent. At this moment, hearing Old Wolf’s words, how could he hold back?

Zhuifeng directly raised his middle finger at Old Wolf.

“Disobedient guys need to be disciplined!” Old Wolf snorted coldly at this time, “Kid, let me teach you how to respect seniors stronger than you!”

After saying that, Old Wolf swung his fist—demonic power wrapped around the fist, a stream of energy spiraled on Old Wolf’s fist, causing gusts of wind to whip through the alley.

Divine Skill, Vajra!

The fist landed directly on Zhuifeng’s cheek, with a loud bang—Old Wolf’s expression changed slightly. This punch did not send this cocky little dog flying as he had imagined.

Zhuifeng remained unmoved, taking Old Wolf’s punch without even turning his neck.

“Tsk, I thought you were tough.” Zhuifeng sneered, “That punch was weak, not a patch on Brother Xiaosheng’s!”

“You have a sharp tongue! Hope your body is just as tough!” Old Wolf withdrew his fist—not to back down, but to deliver a stronger punch!

Old Wolf attacked again, this time with both fists!

The sound of constant impacts rang out, and in just a blink, Old Wolf’s fists had slammed into Zhuifeng’s body over thirty-four times!

Moreover, Old Wolf’s face had begun to show some traits of the demon clan—Old Wolf was serious now! At least Yun Hui could see clearly, Old Wolf was not using his full strength, but at least seventy to eighty percent of it!

“This so-called Zhuifeng little monster actually…” Yun Hui was staring at the information in the database, “Is this truly non-harmful level?”

A moment later, Old Wolf stopped, panting slightly—by the end, he had not held back at all, yet it still had no effect on this little dog, whose body was rock hard, like an alloy… No, even an alloy wasn’t this tough!

“Freak, huh? How did your parents give birth to you?” Old Wolf frowned.

“Brother, can I hit back?” Zhuifeng lowered his head and suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Mo Xiaofei, who had been silent this whole time as if contemplating something, was a bit surprised to glance at Zhuifeng, then nodded, saying, “Follow your heart. The martial arts I taught you are meant to follow the heart. If you have reservations, it won’t unleash its true power.”

“I understand.” Zhuifeng took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and looked at Old Wolf expressionlessly, while lifting his fist.

A magnificent demonic power burst out from Zhuifeng’s body.

Behind Zhuifeng, the demonic power solidified into a massive phantom—the moment this phantom appeared, Old Wolf felt his demonic power revolt as if out of his control. A deep tremor from the innermost part of his being left him as if he had lost all strength.

He had an urge to kneel—at this moment, Old Wolf suddenly realized why he felt so uneasy when he first saw this little dog.

It was because he was afraid… afraid of this little dog, though unwilling to admit it!

“Don’t bring my parents into this! Bastard!!!”

The punch was thrown, but there was no whistling sound because the roaring came from the massive phantom behind Zhuifeng!

Like a divine wolf, howling to the sky!

The appearance of the giant wolf phantom caused ‘Mo Xiaofei’s’ brow to twitch slightly… This phantom’s emergence vaguely resonated with his Emperor’s aura, making it tremble.

Old Wolf couldn’t block this punch… At this moment, his body couldn’t move at all.

His instincts told him he couldn’t block this punch—it was as if he was staring at death!

Bang—!!

The punch landed solidly, and Old Wolf instinctively closed his eyes at that moment—but to Old Wolf’s surprise, he didn’t feel any pain.

He opened his eyes and saw Yun Hui had somehow stepped in front of him, and at the same time, a beam of light enveloped Yun Hui and himself.

The dome formed by the light was filled with cracks, and in the next moment, it shattered completely.

At this moment, something broke and fell directly from Yun Hui’s hand.

Old Wolf glanced at it, and it was a palm-sized Bagua Mirror—this was a treasure bestowed by Yun Hui’s master, said to be the highest-grade magical treasure crafted by the oldest surviving Daoist Bai Jie in the Taoism-cultivated field.

All it took was one punch!
