After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Chaoge, the capital of the Xia Dynasty.

The lights were still on in the top-floor office of the National Defense Administration Building.

Lu Chenghong sat behind his desk, a thick stack of documents spread out in front of him.

He was in his early sixties, with gray hair, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes were so sharp they seemed to see through paper.

Several documents were scattered nearby, with the words "National Special Environmental Affairs Administration" printed in red at the top.

The document contains four photos at the top.

The first picture shows a stunning woman in a black dress standing next to a Ferrari, exuding confidence and charisma.

The second picture shows a cool and aloof woman with her hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a plain white T-shirt, and standing ramrod straight.

The third picture shows a woman with delicate features and almond-shaped eyes sitting in a coffee shop, wearing a gold ring on the ring finger of her right hand.

The fourth picture is of a young man, in a regular ID photo, with a raw stubble on his lip, looking like an ordinary college graduate.

Lin Chu.

Lu Chenghong's finger lingered on Lin Chu's photo for a long time.

He was born in Linjia Village, Shenzhen. His parents divorced, and he was raised by his grandparents. After his grandparents passed away, he grew up eating food from the villagers.

Graduated from an ordinary university, working as an ordinary employee in a design company.

Two months ago, he suddenly resigned, saying he was going to relax, and then he disappeared from everyone's sight.

He only reappeared more than two weeks ago, and the first thing he did was sell a large amount of gold.

The unusual spiritual energy that night also occurred in his neighborhood.

Even if he didn't do it himself, he's still involved.

But one thing is certain: he is indeed a native of Earth.

But none of this matters.

What truly made Lu Chenghong frown were three other women.

Jiang Ruoshui's background and strength are unknown.

Danger level – tentatively SS.

It first appeared more than a month ago, suddenly taking over a major business tycoon in Xinglan City.

The person sent by the Special Administration Bureau to make contact returned with only four words: "Unfathomable."

According to information obtained from the extraterrestrial forces that have been contacted, Zhou Caiwei comes from the Lingxu Sword Sect of the Shangqing Domain in the Xuantian Realm.

Danger level: SS.

She appeared three days ago, and her first traces were found in the Qinling Mountains. She was accompanied by three cultivators, who were no longer within the territory of the Xia Dynasty.

Based on observation, no malicious intent has been observed so far.

Cang Yao, background unknown.

In the "Strength" section, the Special Administration Bureau's analysis report highlighted in red: "The detected aura fluctuations, unintentionally revealed, far exceed those of any known extraterrestrial visitors."

The time of its appearance is unknown.

Hazard level – SSS.

Fortunately, they have not shown any malice so far.

Because the two agents sent to observe her were spotted when they were only a few hundred meters away from her.

She didn't react much, only glancing at them from afar.

These three women deliberately appeared around an ordinary young man at the same time.

In addition, Lin Chu herself also has problems.

Lu Chenghong leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.

He muttered to himself, "Just who are you?"

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The woman who entered was in her forties, with short, neat hair and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Qin Su, Deputy Director of the Biological Research Institute of the Special Administration Bureau.

Lu Chenghong transferred her back from the Shennongjia laboratory.

"Minister Lu, I have something to report to you."

"explain."

Qin Su stopped in front of the desk and lowered her voice: "A force claiming to be from the Dragon Court of the Xuan Tian Realm has sent a representative who wants to contact us. The person has already arrived."

Lu Chenghong raised an eyebrow: "Are you on our watch list?"

"No." Qin Su shook her head. "It's a little girl named Cang Xiaoxiao."

Lu Chenghong frowned. The surname is Cang? He looked down at the file about Cang Yao in front of him, his fingertips gently tracing the edge of the paper, lost in thought.

……

the other side.

It was Tuesday noon.

Lin Chu stood at the entrance of the mall and looked down to check her clothes one last time.

Light gray thin knit sweater, dark blue casual pants.

The watch on my wrist, with its deep blue dial and unpretentious design, has a clean and simple look.

He never cared about these things before, but for some reason, he made a point of choosing them before going out today.

I don't know if today counts as a date.

I waited for about five minutes.

Lin Chu saw Cang Yao walking over from the other side of the mall.

Then he paused for a moment.

Cang Yao wore a white short-sleeved shirt today, with a navy blue plaid bow tie at the collar, paired with a matching navy blue plaid pleated skirt.

Her hair was tied into a single ponytail, which swayed gently behind her head as she walked.

She looked completely different from yesterday, with her light red shirt and long, dark hair.

He exudes youthful energy, as if he's become a completely different person.

Especially when she saw Lin Chushi smile, her peach blossom eyes curved into crescent moons, revealing a row of neat white teeth.

"How long have you been waiting?" Cang Yao walked up to him, her ponytail swaying.

"Just arrived," Lin Chu said.

Cang Yao looked him up and down, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

You look great today.

"You too," Lin Chu said, "completely different from yesterday."

"Yesterday was a blind date, so we had to be a bit formal." Cang Yao tilted her head, her ponytail swaying to the side. "Today we're just out for dinner, so of course we should dress comfortably."

"Were you feeling unwell yesterday?"

Cang Yao snorted: "Who said yesterday was comfortable too?"

She thought for a moment, then added, "It's a different kind of comfort."

The two walked toward the cheese baked rice shop.

The commercial street was bustling with people.

Cang Yao walked beside him with light steps, occasionally turning her head to say a few words.

"I did my research on this restaurant beforehand," Cang Yao said. "Their signature dish is the baked lobster rice with cheese."

"You've done a pretty thorough job of your research."

"That's right." Cang Yao raised her chin slightly, and her ponytail swayed.

Several young people walked by on the roadside.

A young man wearing glasses glanced at Cang Yao, then at Lin Chu beside him, and turned to whisper something to his companion.

His companion glanced at it as well, then sighed.

"It's good to be handsome and rich." The voice wasn't loud, but Lin Chu heard it.

Cang Yao obviously heard it too, but she pretended not to, and her lips curled up even more.

Lin Chu looked at her.

Sunlight fell on her profile.

I can't quite describe the feeling.

We only met yesterday, and today is only the second time we've met.

But when I walk with her, whether we're talking or silent, there's an indescribable naturalness to it.

It seems they've done this many times before.

Thinking this, he unconsciously raised his hand and placed it on Cang Yao's head, gently rubbing it.

Cang Yao stopped in her tracks.

Lin Chu's hand froze in mid-air.

He then realized what he had done.

"I'm sorry, I—"

He withdrew his hand, before he could finish speaking.

Cang Yao turned around.

Her eyes seemed a little red, but the corners of her mouth were turned up.

"It's...it's okay." Her voice trembled slightly, but her tone was light. "Let's go, otherwise we'll have to queue during the lunch rush."

She reached out and pulled Lin Chu's sleeve, took two steps forward, and then let go.

Lin Chu looked at the sleeve that she had pulled, and then at her back.

Then he quickly followed.

The cheese baked rice shop has a simple decor, with light wood tables and a few hand-drawn menus hanging on the wall.

It was lunchtime, and the store was quite crowded.

Fortunately, there were still a few seats left. The two sat down, ordered, and waited for their food to be served.

"Just now—" Cang Yao suddenly spoke, tracing her finger on the table, "Do you often touch other people's heads like this?"

"No," Lin Chu said. "I've never had this before, and I don't know why."

Cang Yao's fingers paused for a moment.

She had her head down, so her expression was obscured, but Lin Chu could feel her shoulders trembling slightly.

After a few seconds, she looked up.

"Should I accept this honor?"

"No, not exactly." Lin Chu picked up her water glass and took a sip, realizing she didn't know how to answer the question.

Cang Yao rested her chin on her hand and looked at him, her peach blossom eyes curving into crescents. "Then don't touch other people next time."

Lin Chu put down her water glass.

"it is good."

Cang Yao smiled, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
