On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

One thousand yuan.

This isn't much for Lu Chuan right now.

But for these ordinary zookeepers and cleaning ladies, this thousand yuan could be their living expenses for a month.

As for whether the zoo currently has that much money in its accounts?

Lu Chuan didn't care.

If you don't have money, apply to the higher authorities.

Lei Qianjue brought me here; surely he wouldn't not even give me any money.

Across from him, Zhao Lei stared at Lu Chuan for several seconds, then his eyes suddenly reddened.

Then he suddenly stood up.

He gave Lu Chuan a thumbs up.

"Brother Chuan, you're awesome! Seriously, I, Zhao Lei, have never admired anyone in my life, except you!"

"You truly treat us brothers like human beings!"

"Alright, stop getting sentimental."

Lu Chuan laughed and cursed.

"Go and send out the notice quickly, so everyone can be happy too."

"Okay! I'll go right now!"

Zhao Lei turned to run out, but Lu Chuan called him back just as he reached the door.

"Oh, right."

"Wait a moment."

"Brother Chuan, is there anything else?"

Zhao Lei turned around, quite surprised.

Lu Chuan turned his head and pointed at Wukong.

"This little guy is getting restless at home. Why don't you take him to the monkey mountain for a while and let him interact with other monkeys?"

"But keep an eye on it, make sure it doesn't bully the other monkeys."

Zhao Lei chuckled.

"Don't worry, Brother Chuan."

"You little monkey, who can you bully?"

"I'm just grateful that I don't get bullied by the other monkeys."

Upon hearing that he could go out to play, Wukong immediately threw down his banana, jumped onto Zhao Lei's shoulder, and even made a face at Lu Chuan.

Goodbye, Daddy!

After watching the man and the monkey walk out, the office finally quieted down.

Lu Chuan leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

He turned his chair around and looked out the window.

You can see the entire zoo from here.

In the distance, there is lush greenery; nearby, there is a road bustling with people.

He suddenly felt incredibly conflicted.

More than 20 years have passed since he transmigrated, and apart from school, the longest time he has spent has been at the zoo.

I never expected things to go such a long and winding way.

They actually went back to the zoo.

life.

Life is truly like a game of chess.

……

At the same time.

The entire southern city was in an uproar because of last night's earth-shattering battle.

On major forums, online communities, and short video platforms.

Topics such as "Mysterious Strongman of Nancheng", "Slaying the Demon King with One Sword" and "Two Green Snakes in Two Sleeves" have firmly occupied the top spots on the trending search list.

#Shocking! A peerless swordsman has appeared in the southern city, splitting mountains in two with a single sword strike—truly terrifying!

#It's confirmed! The latest insider information confirms that the one who made the move last night was definitely that mysterious Martial Emperor! Pictures and proof included!!!

I was right near the scene and witnessed two giant blue dragons soaring into the sky. The scene was even more breathtaking than a Hollywood blockbuster!

The comment section was flooded with comments.

#Holy crap! Really? There's a big shot like this in a small place like Nancheng?

#Don't look down on people upstairs. What's wrong with Nancheng? Nancheng is full of hidden talents! Remember that peak martial king from a few months ago? He died in Nancheng.

Wow, that sword aura... it's so cool! I'm going to the South City to become an apprentice! Nobody can stop me!

#Come on, that big shot is elusive, you'd be lucky to find him.

#No matter what, with such a powerful figure in charge, our South City will feel incredibly safe from now on!!!

And this corresponds to online public opinion.

It is located in the southern suburbs, the site of last night's battle.

The area had long been cordoned off by the people of the Exorcist Bureau.

But that didn't stop the enthusiastic onlookers.

Outside the cordon.

It was already packed with people.

Countless citizens arrived in their private cars, on electric scooters, and even on foot, completely blocking the nearby roads.

Everyone was holding up their phones.

They frantically took photos and videos of those two shocking, enormous ravines.

The two ravines were hundreds of meters long and bottomless, with smooth, mirror-like cuts. The surrounding soil had an eerie, charred black color, as if it had been instantly melted by high temperatures.

Even after a night had passed.

A chilling, sharp sword intent still lingered in the air.

If you get even a little closer, you'll feel a stinging sensation on your skin, as if countless tiny needles are pricking you.

"That's terrifying..."

"Is this the power of a Martial Emperor?"

"If that hit someone, wouldn't they turn to ashes instantly?"

"That's right. Do you remember a few months ago outside the Demon Extermination Bureau? It was this sword strike that killed a peak Martial King."

"This sword energy belongs to that mysterious Martial Emperor."

"That senior really didn't leave; he's been protecting our South City all along."

in the crowd.

They occasionally let out gasps of amazement.

There are also quite a few young people who claim to be disciples of the Martial Emperor.

They sat cross-legged on the edge of the cordon, eyes closed, with devout expressions, trying to comprehend the remaining sword intent in hopes of breaking through their bottleneck.

Of course, most people are just pretending.

It's purely to ride the wave of popularity and show off on social media.

At this time.

On the edge of the crowd.

A girl dressed in white casual clothes stood quietly.

The girl wore a baseball cap with the brim pulled low, covering most of her face, but it still couldn't hide her aloof and refined temperament.

It was Liu Fuyao.

Looking at the two huge sword marks in the distance, her beautiful eyes were filled with a complex expression.

Excited.

worship.

lost.

Wronged……

A mix of emotions caused her eyes to redden slightly.

"It's Master..."

"This is definitely Master's sword energy!"

Liu Fuyao clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

Regarding these two green snakes.

She knew it all too well.

It was definitely Master who made the move.

"Master is in the southern part of the city..."

"But why won't he see me?"

Liu Fuyao bit her lip, her heart aching with bitterness.

"Am I too weak, and have I let my master down?"

"Or is it that Master never wanted to acknowledge me as his disciple?"

Liu Fuyao grew increasingly saddened as she thought about it, tears welling up in her eyes.

I stood there for a long time, trying to find that familiar figure in the crowd, even if it was just a glimpse of his back.

But no, it didn't happen.

There was nothing but a noisy crowd and deafening noise.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Fuyao forced down the bitterness in her heart and turned to leave.

Since Master is unwilling to show himself.

There's no point in just standing here like an idiot.

Go back and cultivate!

As long as I become strong enough, one day my master will be willing to see me!

Just as she turned around...

A clear, cold voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Miss Liu?"

Liu Fuyao paused, then subconsciously turned around.

Not far away, a girl dressed in a silver outfit was walking slowly towards them.

The girl was tall and well-proportioned, and her silver bodysuit accentuated her perfect curves, especially her long legs, which were full of explosive power.

He was like a drawn sword.

Its sharp edge was fully revealed.
