The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"He is indeed a handsome man; no wonder he was able to cause such a commotion."

Su Qiong looked Gu Xu up and down, her eyes filled with increasing satisfaction.

This kid, even when facing a high-level professional like me with an aura of full power, was still able to remain neither humble nor arrogant, with clear eyes, and didn't show a lecherous look like those young boys outside.

That composure alone shows he's got the makings of a strong person.

"I am Su Qiong, the Chief of Staff of the God-Slaying Legion under the Supreme Command."

Su Qiong stretched out her slender hand, wanting to pat Gu Xu's shoulder to show her closeness: "You can call me Sister Qiong. From today onwards, your safety is under the responsibility of our God-Slaying Army."

However, just as her hand was about to touch Gu Xu's shoulder...

A bone-chilling cold suddenly erupted from behind Gu Xu without warning!

Su Qiong's peach blossom eyes, which had been smiling, suddenly narrowed!

Her body's fighting instincts made the hairs on her body stand on end in an instant; it was a sense of crisis honed through countless life-and-death battles!

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

Su Qiong pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, her body tensed instinctively, and she assumed a defensive stance. Her gaze passed over Gu Xu and went to the silent red figure behind Gu Xu.

Just now, Gu Xu was too eye-catching, and the eerie bride had concealed her aura...

She had momentarily overlooked its existence.

At this moment, the face of the ghost bride, covered by a red veil, was facing Su Qiong.

Although she couldn't see the eyes, Su Qiong could clearly feel a very cold, hostile, and warning gaze scraping against her neck like a knife.

Even a top-tier warrior like Su Qiong, who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

At this moment, I even felt a sense of unease.

The feeling was like being alone in a mass grave at night, being watched by some indescribable, terrifying being.

This is bizarre! Absolutely bizarre!

Su Qiong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the discomfort in her heart. The contempt in her eyes completely disappeared, replaced by an even more fervent excitement.

She had already read the briefing on her way here and knew that this kid's summoned creatures were something special, with things like conceptual-level abilities and infinite resurrection.

At the time, she thought it was somewhat exaggerated.

Now it seems...

This intelligence is not exaggerated at all; in fact, it is conservative!

This is hardly something special.

This is a ticking time bomb!

"This kid's summoned creatures... even I feel a sense of oppression..."

Su Qiong's heart was in turmoil, but her smile became even brighter.

The stronger the better! The more unorthodox the better!

Only such perverts deserve the title of "Asylum" of their God-Slaying Army!

"Good! Very good!"

Su Qiong disregarded her image and burst into laughter, looking at Gu Xu as if he were a peerless piece of jade.

"Kid, you're just my type! Pack your things and come with me!"

"This lousy school is too small to contain a true dragon like you!"

Gu Xu was indeed stunned.

Although he had long been mentally prepared, knowing that once his "conceptual" panel was exposed, it would definitely attract official attention, he did not expect that attention would come so intensely and so directly.

There was no lengthy political vetting process, no tedious procedures that required him to fill out a bunch of forms, and it didn't even seem like they planned to give him time to go back and say goodbye to his family.

The sentence was simply, "Pack your things and come with me."

This isn't recruiting new soldiers, it's practically bandits kidnapping a bride.

But... this feeling seems pretty good?

Now that he had established a connection with the powerful nation, Gu Xu felt relieved.

With a powerful backer, he'll have no worries about cultivation resources, his safety will be guaranteed, and he'll even have someone to take care of his leveling up. Isn't this the life he's always dreamed of—lying down... no, I mean, efficiently becoming stronger?

"Okay, I'll follow Sister Qiong's arrangements."

Gu Xu grinned and readily agreed.

However, the moment he nodded, a familiar chill rose up from behind him once again.

This time, it was even more ruthless than when it targeted that mosquito.

The ghostly bride, who had been standing quietly behind Gu Xu, was now her blood-red wedding dress fluttering without wind. Although her face was obscured by the red veil, the resentment that seemed to freeze the soul was locked onto Su Qiong.

Especially Su Qiong's hand, which was about to put on Gu Xu's shoulder.

In the mind of the ghost bride, that was her place.

Any man who tries to take advantage of her "husband" is an obstacle that needs to be eliminated.

The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and a thin layer of white frost was visibly formed on the leaves of the potted plants in the principal's office.

Su Qiong's hand stopped in mid-air, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her charming peach blossom eyes, followed by even stronger interest.

"Oh, you've got quite a temper, haven't you?"

Instead of withdrawing her hand, she reached forward further, seemingly provoking him.

"No, no, no! Honey, calm down! Calm down!"

Gu Xu felt a chill run down his spine and frantically tried to reassure this old lady in his mind.

This is a big shot in the Supreme Command, my future boss. If we were to fight over something, things would get really messy!

"This is one of our own! They're here to help us level up and get stronger! They're not vixens!"

"Besides, she's our superior, and she's like an older sister to us. Just think of her as... well, like the kind of goddess who pays our salaries!"

Gu Xu mentally explained it all, even going so far as to label Su Qiong as the "God of Wealth".

Whether it was the word "become stronger" that had an effect, or the title "big sister" that made the ghost bride feel less threatened, the suffocating killing intent finally subsided.

The chill that made it feel like being in an ice cellar dissipated.

The ghost bride returned to her quiet and obedient demeanor, silently taking half a step back, as if she had never been angry.

Seeing this, Su Qiong was not angry at all; instead, she laughed heartily.

"Hehehe... That's interesting, really interesting."

She laughed without restraint, and the astonishing rise and fall of her chest made Liu Zhenguo, who was standing next to her, quickly lower his head, not wanting to look at her inappropriately.

"Alright, since your little wife isn't angry anymore, then hurry up and leave."

Su Qiong acted as if she were one of the family, stretching out her long arm and casually putting her arm around Gu Xu's shoulder, the action as practiced as if they were just buddies strolling around town.

A unique scent, a blend of gunpowder and high-end perfume, instantly filled Gu Xu's nose.

"Stop dawdling, our Crown Prince, it's time to go back to the palace and enjoy your retirement!"

As Su Qiong spoke, she pushed Gu Xu out, completely ignoring the resentful gaze that had returned behind her.

Are you kidding me? Who is Su Qiong?

A female Rakshasa who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, would she be afraid of a mere ghost being jealous?

Besides, this kid will be the precious darling of the God-Slaying Army in the future, so it's only natural that she, as his older sister, would protect him.

……

Outside the teaching building.

The students who were originally gathered in the playground and corridors were now separated from the police cordon by the heavily armed soldiers.

Even so, it couldn't stop their enthusiastic onlookers, who practically popped their eyes out of their sockets.

When Gu Xu appeared at the entrance of the teaching building, a commotion instantly erupted in the crowd.

"It's out! It's out!"

"Holy crap, is that Gu Xu? Why is he being carried out by that female officer?"

"This treatment...this doesn't look like being arrested, it's more like a high-ranking official inspecting our work!"

Under the gaze of countless envious, jealous, and shocked eyes, Gu Xu was escorted by Su Qiong and Jiang Shu on either side, walking towards the heavy armored off-road vehicle parked in the middle.

Even Principal Liu Zhenguo, who had been following behind, could only act like a follower, forcing a smile as he escorted the person to the car, without even having the right to get any closer.

In the crowd, Zhang Hao stared wide-eyed at Gu Xu's tall and straight back, then looked at his underlings who were still praising him for his A-level talent, and suddenly felt utterly bored.

Is this the difference?

While he was basking in the glory of his A-level talent, Gu Xu had already been taken away by a national-level special forces unit with the highest level of protocol.

Chen Qianqian stood at the front of the crowd, watching the boy who had once seemed ordinary to her now being intimately embraced by the powerful red-haired female officer.

She bit her lip, a sense of loss she had never felt before welling up inside her.

Her prized spot for direct admission to university seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.
