What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

Lin Xiao had no idea that the three Thunder Talismans he had just mortgaged to Qin Yanan had unexpectedly saved her life.

When I woke up, it was already 7 p.m.

It was completely dark outside.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao didn't plan to go out.

I looked into the refrigerator and there was still a lot of food left from what I had bought earlier.

Now, with the loan of 100,000 yuan, Lin Xiao's pressure has finally been relieved a bit.

In addition, his condition has improved a lot, and his appetite has increased significantly.

After thinking it over, Lin Xiao washed the vegetables and cooked a few home-style dishes.

However, just as he was whistling and placing the food on the table, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?!" Lin Xiao called out as she instinctively opened the door.

Then, he saw Qin Yanan, dressed in jeans and a tight-fitting fur coat, standing prettily at the door.

In an instant, Lin Xiao's heart jumped.

His previous pleasant mood vanished almost instantly, and he looked at Qin Yanan standing at the door and said softly:

"Miss Qin, is there something you need?"

Qin Yanan had just handed Li Yunchuan over to the support personnel sent from headquarters when she returned immediately.

The unexpected activation of the Thunder Talisman actually saved his life.

Moreover, the strength of that evil spirit has completely exceeded expectations.

Even so, the evil spirit couldn't last even one round.

The power of this Thunder Talisman is stronger than any talisman I have ever used before.

Even the runes of the Celestial Masters sect might not be this powerful.

But this powerful rune was only mortgaged to him, and he ended up using it.

Therefore, Qin Yanan thought of coming back as soon as possible to tell the other party.

By the way, let's talk about compensation.

However, before she could even speak, she smelled the aroma of food.

Suddenly, Qin Yanan, who had been busy for most of the day, couldn't help but let out a rumbling sound from her stomach.

Lin Xiao naturally heard the shout as well.

Looking back at the food laid out on the table, Lin Xiao said helplessly, "Miss Qin, would you like to eat something with me?"

Qin Yanan blushed slightly. The sudden stomach growl had caught her off guard and left her somewhat flustered.

He coughed lightly to suppress his embarrassment and gave Lin Xiao a complicated look.

This kid in front of me clearly has some kind of heaven-defying runes on him that even headquarters can't crack.

Anything he casually pulls out can instantly kill a high-level evil spirit.

Yet he lives like an ordinary young person, peacefully cooking and cleaning at home.

The more she looked at Lin Xiao, the more unfathomable she felt he was.

"Then... I'll have to bother you, Brother Lin."

Qin Yanan nodded, no longer refusing, and stepped inside.

The room was small, but clean and tidy, and the food smelled delicious.

It was a completely different world from the bloody abandoned factory she had just experienced.

Lin Xiao closed the door, his lips twitching slightly. He was just being polite, wasn't he?

He shook his head, set out the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "These are just some simple home-style dishes, nothing special. I hope Miss Qin won't find them offensive."

Actually, he was also feeling uneasy.

This old lady suddenly showing up at my door, it must be something serious.

Do you think borrowing 100,000 is too much? Or do you think there's something wrong with the Thunder Talisman?

Or perhaps... she saw through something?

While serving Qin Yanan rice, Lin Xiao remained secretly vigilant, but his face remained expressionless.

Qin Yanan sat down, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the stir-fried vegetables, and her eyes lit up slightly.

Surprisingly, the stir-fried dish tasted quite good.

Qin Yanan ate her food in small bites, but her gaze kept falling on Lin Xiao, her mind racing.

She used one of the three Thunder Talismans, and its power was earth-shattering, instantly killing the evil spirit that even Li Yunchuan couldn't handle.

More importantly, it truly saved his life.

This kindness and its value cannot be measured by 100,000 yuan.

But Lin Xiao seemed to have no idea how terrifying those runes were.

After the two ate for a while, Qin Yanan gently put down her chopsticks.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yanan looked at Lin Xiao with a serious expression and said softly:

"Brother Lin, I'm bothering you this time because there's something very important I need to make clear to you."

"They're here!"

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He wondered what could be so nerve-wracking for this troublesome woman.

Although nervous inside, Lin Xiao remained outwardly calm and said, "Miss Qin, please speak!"

Qin Yanan took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on Lin Xiao's face, and said, word by word, "Those three Thunder Talismans you mortgaged to me..."

Seeing Qin Yanan pause in her speech, Lin Xiao's heart nearly jumped into his throat.

As expected, there was a problem with the Thunder Talisman!

Did this woman find that the Thunder Talisman couldn't be used, so she came to return it?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao subconsciously straightened his back, forced a smile, and said with a stiff upper lip:

"Miss Qin, to be honest, I obtained those three runes by chance, and I don't know if they can be used..."

If that doesn't work, I'll give you some other collateral, is that alright?

As he spoke, he secretly made plans in his mind.

If all else fails, we'll just have to wait until tomorrow to pawn the longsword we offered to the other party.

Qin Yanan was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and then immediately realized that Lin Xiao had misunderstood.

A hint of guilt appeared on Qin Yanan's face, and she gently shook her head, saying:

"Brother Lin, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to return the goods."

"Not a return?" Lin Xiao was stunned, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was relieved a little.

But then he immediately raised his hand, his face full of doubt, and asked, "Miss Qin, what happened to the Thunder Talisman? Is there something wrong with it, and did it hurt you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yanan felt even more embarrassed.

Not only were her cheeks slightly flushed, but her tone also softened as she said, "It didn't hurt me at all; on the contrary, it saved my life."

"Save your life?" Lin Xiao's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief and bewilderment.

Seeing Lin Xiao's sincere yet shocked expression, Qin Yanan became even more certain that he truly did not know the incredible power of the Thunder Talisman.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yanan slowly said, "Yes, I encountered a troublesome evil spirit. Thanks to Brother Lin's runes, I was saved."

She concealed her specific identity as the head of headquarters, only revealing the matter of the evil spirit.

Lin Xiao was stunned, forgetting to swallow the rice in her mouth.

Evil spirits? What are those?

Judging from the woman's expression, she doesn't seem to be faking it.

So, does this mean there are evil spirits in our real world?!

This situation is even more outrageous than what he experienced in the Cangxuan Realm.

For a moment, even though Lin Xiao had already encountered many bizarre things, he still found it hard to believe.
