Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

Jingnan's eyes widened in surprise.

"If you don't want to do breeding missions with other people anymore, I suggest you look into how Charles manipulated the mission schedule in Dawn Hall."

After saying this, Jingyuan prepared to leave the room quietly.

“Wait a minute!” Jingnan suddenly said, “If they continue to arrange for you and me to carry out breeding missions together for the next two days, then we’ll continue! Anyway… we’ve done it several times already.”

Jing Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay!"

Chapter 71 Say it directly

Jingyuan left Jingnan's room and returned to his own residence.

As expected, the light in his room was on, and 4277 was forced to stay again.

"You're back so late today!" 4277 said, sounding a little down.

"Um, because something came up."

"Is it the breeding mission in the Hall of Dawn?" 4277 suddenly looked at Jing Yuan, her hair loose and her big eyes watery.

"How did you know?" Jingyuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"They told me!"

"who are they?"

"Someone from the management department."

"These guys!" Jing Yuan has been really annoyed by these guys lately. Torturing 4277 like this all the time is not a solution.

"I really envy you upper-class people who can carry out breeding missions!" 4277 suddenly said, his voice gradually lowering.

“What’s there to envy?” Jing Yuan didn’t seem to notice anything amiss and said bluntly, “This isn’t a good thing for you.”

"do you like her?"

"Like it?" Jing Yuan began to wonder why 4277 would ask such a question, but still said, "People are not allowed to have emotions on the Lighthouse. Even when we go to the Dawn Hall, everyone wears a mask. That... is just for doing missions."

"I like you!"

"Huh?" Jing Yuan was taken aback and said, "Then thank you!"

"Would you like to do breeding missions with me?"

Jing Yuan frowned. Of course he was willing to do such a good thing, but he was very curious as to why 4277 would have such an idea.

As she spoke, 4277 took off her coat, revealing that she was only wearing a sexy tank top underneath.

4277 has a very pretty face, big and cute eyes, and although she is thin, she is very delicate and petite.

At this moment, she moved closer to Jingyuan, and Jingyuan noticed that she had taken a bath and was still smelling nice.

If Jingyuan hadn't just finished a mission in the Dawn Hall and then 4277 hadn't come up to him so suddenly, he probably wouldn't have been able to control himself.

Jing Yuan smiled slightly, placed his hands on her shoulders, and gestured for her to sit down.

This action can be considered a rejection of 4277.

She asked, puzzled, "Is it because I am a Dustman?"

"Of course not," Jing Yuan said. "During the time you've spent with me, have you ever seen me look down on you because you're a commoner?"

4277 thought back and realized there really wasn't any.

"Did you meet anyone today? Or did someone say anything to you?"

4277 stared blankly at Jing Yuan, as if she were timid after being seen through.

"how do you know?"

"who is it?"

“Yes…” 4277 whispered, “It’s the Guild Master!”

Jing Yuan smiled helplessly. That's true, who else would bother with these weird antics all day long except him?

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this mess."

"What do you mean?" 4277 seemed confused.

Charles had 4277 brought to the law firm. He didn't say anything else, but he was trying to guide her, asking her if she liked Jingyuan! If she liked him, she should go for it! She should take the initiative to offer herself to him!

“Chairman Charles wants me to be his subordinate, so he needs to find my weakness so that I will listen to him.” Jing Yuan said with a smile, “We got close recently, and he probably thought I was interested in you, so he deliberately arranged for you to come here to strengthen our relationship. That way, he can use you to threaten me.”

4277 is very smart; she understood immediately.

"But actually you don't like me!"

Jingyuan waved his hand and said, "Even if I don't like it, when Charles uses you to threaten me, am I just going to watch you die?"

4277 was taken aback; the matter had now become complicated.

"Perhaps it's because I hire you, provide you with the food of the upper class, offer you the working environment of the upper class, and give you enough respect that you like me. But this liking is actually based on an unequal status. If you were an upper class, you would understand that what I do is just very ordinary and basic. It's far from enough to make you like me."

"So, the key issue is still because I am a Dustman?"

"No, the key issue now is to prevent Charles from hurting you in order to threaten me."

Jingyuan said earnestly, "4277, I like you too, but it's more of an admiration. If you were to do a breeding mission with me, I would certainly be happy. But that's not fair to you. You haven't met enough people or experienced enough right now. You like someone just because they're a little nice to you, but there's really no need for that. Wait until one day in the future, when we no longer distinguish between commoners and superiors, and when people are no longer forbidden from talking about their feelings, then you can examine your feelings again and talk about whether you like someone or not. Maybe you'll have a different conclusion then."

Will that day ever come?

"Of course. There definitely will be."

Jingyuan looked at 4277 and believed that with her intelligence, she could understand his feelings.

"I'll go see the head of the association tomorrow and ask him not to send anyone to make things difficult for you. However, we still need to be wary of him targeting you. I need you and me to think about this together."

"You had me make the locator last time, was it to deal with this kind of situation?"

"Correct!"

"I understand." 4277 suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'll take good care of myself."

Jingyuan sighed and said, "We're all in the same boat now. If anything happens, don't make decisions on your own. Come to me for advice. Don't worry, I'm capable of protecting you. What I'm worried about is being attacked from the shadows."

4277 looked at Jing Yuan. If taking off her clothes before was an impulse, she still couldn't help liking the man in front of her.

The change in 4277 was unexpected for Jingyuan. He was also startled just now and had no plan to deal with it in advance.

However, Jingyuan learned a lesson: stories that end in tragedy are often accompanied by situations where things are not said directly!

For example, Mark likes Ran Bing, but he doesn't say it directly. He has to wait until the Dawn Hall mission starts before he tries to take action!

If he had spoken up beforehand, and everyone had worked together to find a solution, or gone to the surface earlier, wouldn't all those problems have been avoided?

Therefore, Jingyuan did the opposite and truthfully informed Penny, Jingnan, and 4277 of the situation.

The night passed.

Before Jingyuan could even approach Charles, Charles sent someone to find him first.

Inside the lobby of the law firm.

Charles was having breakfast, and he had specially prepared a portion for Jingyuan.

"Vice Captain Jingyuan, are you satisfied with my arrangements?"

"Satisfied!" Jing Yuan answered readily, "However... what does it mean that the leader arranged for that commoner girl to stay in my residence? If this is discovered, won't I be burned at the stake?"

“Don’t you like this commoner girl? She can’t go to the Hall of Dawn. I’ll arrange for her to be a cleaner, so she can come and go from your residence openly.”

"Then I must thank you very much, Lord Chief. However, I have my own arrangements for this commoner girl, so I won't trouble you any further."

“I was just worried that the girl wouldn’t act recklessly, so I helped you out! Now that you’ve made the arrangements, I won’t interfere.” Charles looked at Jingyuan with a smile. “Just as you said before, our relationship is nothing more than a transaction. Does my sincerity satisfy you?”

Jingyuan knew that Charles wouldn't come looking for him unless there was a reason, so he asked directly, "What brings you here, Head of the Society?"

Seeing that Jingyuan was being so cooperative this time, Charles said directly, "Now that Jingnan has changed its intelligence gathering personnel, I can't tamper with the intelligence anymore. So, Captain Mark will likely return with a full load from the next mission. I need you to intercept his credit."

Charles smiled slightly and said, "At that time, Captain Mark will be seriously injured and unable to defeat the Devouring Beast, while Captain Jingyuan will turn the tide and obtain the supplies. Your reputation will rise even higher."

"Understood!"

Charles laughed heartily, "You really are a smart man."

Jingyuan just smiled, finished his breakfast, and left the law firm.

Jing Yuan went directly to the outer ring road, found a secluded spot, and began practicing the "Mind Power Object Control Method".

In just a few days, as long as he learns the new techniques, he can boost his attack power to a whole new level!

Later that day, Jingyuan was again taken to the Dawn Hall, this time to Jingnan.

This time, Jingnan is much more open, and I enjoyed the mission quite a bit.

……

Two days later, the Hunter of the Wilderness mission officially began.
