Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

He Li's unconventional approach left Yu Qingge, who had originally intended to test him, speechless with bitterness. However, He Li was actually quite surprised.

Because of Yu Qingge's power...

Her strength is approaching a thousand tons.

Although it's nothing compared to him, this power is already at the ceiling level among others.

For example, Liu Ke from Shanghai.

With a strength of only a few hundred tons, he had already become a respected and high-ranking investigator at the Shanghai Special Bureau, while Yu Qingge's strength was even stronger than Liu Ke's.

Unfortunately, this person wasn't an investigator...

They did not enjoy the resources and assistance provided by Daxia.

How could this not be surprising?

Of course, He Li could also guess that Yu Qingge possessed power that exceeded the limits of ordinary martial artists...

It's mostly due to supernatural powers.

I just don't know what her supernatural power is. Is it similar to Liu Ke's, which directly enhances physical strength? Or is it some other high-level, powerful supernatural power?

He Li was a little curious, and he looked back and forth at Yu Qingge, pondering.

Yu Qingge was furious about this.

She had never met anyone like He Li!

While admiring the beauty of others...

On the one hand, they ruthlessly destroy flowers without any mercy.

And he's incredibly shameless, spouting nonsense like "I see beauties as nothing but bones, I have no desires or fears," and then continuing to stare at you with unbridled shrewdness, trying to see right through you.

Why is this person like this?

What's even more infuriating is her younger sister, Yu Ji...

He saw that He Li had crushed the bones in her hands.

She offered no words of comfort whatsoever.

She frowned slightly and whispered mockingly, "I already told you he's very capable and not to mess around."

"You still insist on testing the waters."

"Now look what happened! You brought it on yourself!"

Upon hearing Yu Ji's words, Yu Qingge turned her head and glared at Yu Ji, as if she were scolding her or questioning her about whose sister she was.

While she was sulking, He Li discovered that Yu Qingge's hand, whose bones had been crushed, was healing.

In just a few seconds...

Her hand had miraculously recovered.

"Your supernatural abilities are quite interesting."

"It can increase your strength so much, and it seems... it can also help you recover from injuries quickly?"

Seeing this, He Li asked with a smile.

It was as if the unpleasant incident had never happened.

Yu Qingge was utterly speechless.

She remained silent, but Yu Ji spoke up at this moment: "Let's talk about business first?" She looked at Yu Qingge: "Didn't you ask me to bring him here because you needed to talk to him?"

"...Come in!"

Taking a deep breath and forcing herself to calm down, Yu Qingge turned and walked into the room.

He Li and Yu Ji quickly followed.

Once they arrived in the living room, Yu Qingge finally spoke: "It wasn't just my idea to have Yu Ji bring you here; the clan wanted me to see if you were as powerful as the rumors suggested."

"Then, the tribe wants to make a deal with you."

A deal? He Li narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

"What kind of deal? Tell me about it!"

He pressed her for an answer, and Yu Qingge, leaning back on the sofa, her long legs swaying and crossing in front of He Li, resumed her aloof goddess posture and aura and spoke again...

"Yu Ji said you obtained a dragon egg?"

"Those things aren't that easy to hatch. You probably don't even have a clue how to hatch a dragon egg right now, do you?"

"However, we can help you hatch quickly."

"Perhaps when you come back from Shanghai..."

"Your dragon has hatched."

"But in exchange, you must help us find our ancestor's relic, the 'Nine-Section Jade Cong,' in Shanghai!" Yu Qingge's alluring lips parted slightly as she proposed the deal.

She knew about the dragon egg and that He Li's trip to the Demon Realm only came about through Yu Ji.

However, this matter could not be kept secret in the first place.

After all, many investigators in Lengchuan had witnessed the dragon egg being obtained.

By now, the news had already spread.

There was no inquiry from Kyoto...

They probably tacitly accepted He Li taking the dragon egg as his own spoils because of his merits, so they didn't ask. Besides... what Yu Qingge said earlier wasn't wrong either.

He Li truly did not know how to hatch a dragon egg.

This isn't a chicken or duck egg.

Ordinary methods are definitely useless.

So after Yu Qingge proposed this deal, He Li was indeed somewhat interested.

However, he also had questions.

"What is a nine-section jade cong?"

"I've only ever heard of the ten-section jade cong."

"That's an artifact unearthed from the Yinsha site, right? I've never even heard of a nine-section jade cong. Besides, the fact that you want that thing means it's something special."

"So, what is its purpose?"

Before Yu Qingge could even speak after he asked the question, Yu Ji, who was standing next to him, took the initiative to explain to He Li.

"The ten-section jade cong is a sacrificial vessel."

"These are ritual implements used by priests during sacrifices in the ancient Shu Dynasty."

"Ten is also an imaginary number, meaning it does not exist."

"Or you could understand it as a purely ritual object or decoration with no other purpose, but nine is an extreme number, which means it can bear certain powers."

"But we don't know exactly what power it possesses; it's just that the tribe wants to revive the ancient sacrificial rites..."

"We need that thing."

At this point, Yu Ji's expression turned cold.

"You don't know about the nine-section jade cong because it's not an artifact that was dug up from the ground."

"It is a relic passed down by the descendants of the pre-Shu people."

"But back then, when the Sakura Kingdom launched a war against our Great Xia, that item was stolen by a villain, and we only just received news that it has appeared in Shanghai."

"But we're not sure who currently owns the items, and the situation in Shanghai is even more complicated..."

"That's why the clan thought of asking you for help."

Sakura Country? He Li's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Although Yu Ji didn't say it explicitly, He Li understood.

The disappearance of the nine-section jade cong is most likely related to those traitors who betrayed the Great Xia Dynasty and the Sakura Kingdom. In fact, it was probably orchestrated by those short people from the Sakura Kingdom.

Not only the nine-section jade cong, but in fact, many other cultural relics were looted during the war.

Thinking about these things...

He Li nodded.

"Okay, I agree to this."

"I will bring back the nine-section jade cong."

"Also..." He Li smiled again, staring at Yu Qingge with a hint of amusement, "I'm also curious about your tribe, so I'll go and take a look when I get back."

"Yu Ji has already told me."

"I'm sure you won't refuse, will you?"

Huh? Upon hearing this, Yu Qingge stood up in surprise and looked at Yu Ji, seemingly not expecting this at all.

Yu Ji calmly nodded to indicate that this was true.

Yu Qingge frowned upon seeing this.

Finally, he shook his head: "Whatever!"

After saying that, she leaned back on the sofa and said, "Alright, we've finished talking, you can leave now!"

"Leave?" He Li calmly crossed his legs, picked up his water glass, and said with a smile, "That won't do. I was invited by Yu Ji to stay here temporarily. Why would I leave?"

"That's right!" Yu Ji nodded in agreement.

Huh? Yu Qingge was stunned when she saw this.

She suddenly had a strange feeling...

It felt as if I was the outsider in this family.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and glared angrily at her younger sister, Yu Ji: "You...you just casually bring a complete stranger home to live with you?"

"He's my partner!"

Yu Ji calmly retorted.

Yu Qingge's beautiful eyes widened: "What about me?"

"I'm not familiar with him at all. Haven't you considered the possibility that he might take advantage of me because of his looks...?"

"No way!" Yu Ji interrupted her.

"Because he doesn't like you!"

Then she added, "You're not good enough for him either."

Ok? ? ?

Yu Qingge was stunned.

What do you mean he looks down on me?

What do you mean by saying I'm not good enough for him?

Is this a question of whether he finds her attractive or not? Besides, how come he doesn't find me attractive when I'm so stunning? How come I'm not good enough for him with my looks and abilities?

Is this really my own sister? How could her tiny, 36-degree mouth utter such cold words?

How could she be so heartless?

After a moment of stunned silence, once she regained her senses...

Yu Qingge said sadly, "Little sister, you've changed. You seem like a stranger to me now!"

Yu Ji rolled his eyes and ignored him.

He Li suppressed a laugh.

These two sisters seem kind of funny.

He was watching the show with amusement when he saw Yu Ji get up and walk upstairs, saying to him, "Let's go, don't worry about her, I'll take you to another empty room upstairs to rest."

"Okay~" He Li followed with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qingge collapsed onto the sofa without uttering a sound.

He Li, under Yu Ji's guidance, tidied up the room briefly, closed the door, took out the soul-nourishing items he had previously exchanged, and then summoned souls from all directions from the Soul-Suppressing Domain...
