After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

It's understandable that awakened individuals gradually lose their humanity after awakening, which might lead to strained relationships with family members. Therefore, there's no need to investigate the parents' side. However, there's the girlfriend of that orphan awakened individual…

Zhou Yan inquired.

Do you have that girlfriend's identification information?

Zhang Youbin winked at Zhou Yan in an ambiguous way.

"Yes, yes, yes, my girlfriend's name is Yang Meixin. She's the campus belle of Ocean College. Qian Tong used to brag to me, saying that he only graduated from elementary school and could easily find a campus belle. He also said that the campus belle had a sweet mouth and her tongue was cut open and twisted."

Zhou Yan: "..."

This girlfriend is a bit exciting.

"Um, could you show me a new picture of this bayberry?"

Zhou Yan asked.

Zhang Youbin smiled wryly.

“There is no photo, only this name. We went to the school to investigate, but later found that this Yang Meixin had already graduated and changed her phone number. The school could not find Yang Meixin's address or identity information.”

No wonder I couldn't find it.

Zhou Yan asked a few more questions, and Zhang Youbin answered them all. After handing over some pre-prepared paper documents to Zhou Yan, the three of them left the waiting room.

Zhou Yan looked at the materials for a while. There wasn't much useful information in them. They just described Detective Wang's route from his detective agency to the village where the mirage dragon fell and some of his encounters.

However, some of the things Zhang Youbin said were quite interesting. Detective Wang told Zhang Youbin everything that had happened to him from childhood to adulthood. Under what circumstances would someone be able to speak so frankly and openly?

Zhou Yan felt that Detective Wang probably knew in advance why he was going to disappear, which was why he spoke to Zhang Youbin in this way.

Or, as Zhou Yan said before, someone held a gun to Detective Wang's head, forcing him to say everything he wanted to say before he died.

Why did he think he would disappear?

Who else is wearing Detective Wang's head?

Zhou Yan thought for a moment, then called Zhuque and found out about a very famous detective agency. He bought the agency's top detective for ten million yuan and sent him to investigate Lingshan in the village where Detective Wang disappeared.

Anyway, I have money, why should I be so foolish as to go to such a dangerous place myself?

Just pay someone to take a trip.

Afterwards, I inquired with the top detective at this prestigious detective agency whether it would be convenient for them to contact Yang Meixin. Their response was definitely yes, the price would be five million, and the timeframe would be at least one month.

Currently, most parts of the Eastern Xia United States are in turmoil, and the rules in many places have been broken. The detective agency recommended by Zhuque needs to go to other states to find people, which requires paying money to bribe departments and build up a lot of connections. Of the five million, at least three million is used to pave the way, and the remaining one million is to hire an Awakened to go and investigate. In this world, who but an Awakened would dare to travel across states?

Spending over a million to have an Awakened One do eight investigation tasks is considered exceptionally cost-effective. →三＄√∧≤

As for finding Lingshan, it only costs one million. This is because going to the border region of the Eastern Xia United States where Lingshan is located does not require any connections or anything. All that is needed is for a few powerful Awakened to go and investigate.

Zhou Yan listened to the offer of a new commission for finding Yang Mei and reluctantly refused.

Perhaps because he had only been a state legislator for less than two months, Zhou Yan felt that five million was a huge sum of money and that he should save it if he could.

Anyway, it's not dangerous to find someone. As a powerful Awakened One, I can just go find them myself.

Five million!

That's five million!

As for how to find it.

Zhou Yan walked out of the reception room and went to the third floor of the municipal government building.

On the third floor, there were more than a dozen injured people with limps and fractures. In a conference room, auspicious light kept emanating from the conference room door. Zhou Yan walked in.

Inside, the Nine-Colored Deer and Su Xiaowan are treating the wounds of different people.

Dongyangzhou is considered the most important pharmaceutical research and development base in the entire Eastern and Western United States, but it only started generating electricity two days ago, and medicines and such have not yet been produced. The more critical injuries of more than 500,000 people have been entrusted to Nine-Colored Deer and Su Xiaowan for treatment.

"elder brother!"

The nine-colored deer, radiating auspicious light, saw Zhou Yan enter and hopped over to his side, nuzzling its head against his chest.

Zhou Yan patted Su Xiaowan's head, and Su Xiaowan ran over and jumped into Zhou Yan's arms. Zhou Yan hugged Su Xiaowan and said with a smile.

"You guys have done a great job these past few days. By the way, Brother Si needs your help with something."

The two auspicious beasts blinked their innocent little eyes at Zhou Yan.

"My brother is going to Rose State to find someone."

Zhou Yan looked at the nine-colored deer.

"Do you want your brother to find it?"

The Nine-Colored Deer called out in a clear, crisp voice.

"Yes! My brother will definitely be able to find it."

Hmm, buff +1.

Zhou Yan looked at Su Xiaowan, who raised her little paw and pressed it against Zhou Yan's forehead.

Hmm, buff +2.

One minute later.

Having received the Nine-Colored Deer's approval buff and benefiting from Su Xiaowan's strong luck buff, Zhou Yan walked out of the temporary medical room with an air of arrogance and high spirits.

At that moment, the Chongming bird flew over from the entrance of the corridor and swooped down onto Zhou Yan's shoulder. Zhou Yan touched the Chongming bird's beak and praised it.

"You've done a good job these past few days."

The Chongming Bird's ability is to repel poisonous insects and harmful beasts. During this period, Zhou Yan had the Chongming Bird fly in different disaster areas, its cries at midnight driving away poisonous insects such as cockroaches and spiders.

The number of people helped is probably in the hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands. The awakening level of the Chongming Bird is like a rocket soaring, with an alarming rate of increase. On the other hand, Su Xiaowan and the Nine-Colored Deer are awakened beings who are demigods. Due to the high level of their bloodline, even though they help people treat and alleviate the physical ailments of tens of thousands of people every day, they do not gain much awakening level.

Zhou Yan opened the Chongming Bird's attribute panel.

Zhou Yan set the path for the Chongming Bird to become a phoenix. Therefore, when the Chongming Bird was choosing its future bloodline, Zhou Yan set the advancement path for the Chongming Bird as Luan Bird to Phoenix.

The Sou Luan bird is an auspicious beast with the bloodline of the phoenix. According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, its appearance signifies peace and tranquility throughout the world. It is considered one of the more powerful auspicious beasts among the demigods.

"Coo coo coo, coo coo coo..."

The Chongming bird, enjoying being patted on the head by Zhou Yan, nudged his palm with its head.

With a doting expression, Zhou Yan opened his small universe and took out the phoenix feathers he had found in the phoenix nest in Dawu Mountain.

"Your awakening level is high enough. Use this to practice the Blood Coagulation Scripture from now on."

The Chongming Bird took the phoenix feather from Zhou Yan's hand. As soon as the phoenix feather was taken, it turned into a stream of light and attached itself to the Chongming Bird's body, making the bird's feathers appear even shinier.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh that sometimes having a good older brother is so important. Bai Yuan, whom he had previously killed, spent at least ten years cultivating his demonic bloodline to its full potential, while the Chongming Bird, having followed him for less than a year, had raised its bloodline to 95% through his targeted elixirs, cultivation methods, and awakening enhancement techniques.

It is estimated that in the second half of the year, the Chongming Bird will be able to surpass the Demon-level bloodline and officially enter the ranks of demigods.

Of course, the premise is that he can find the inextinguishable fire needed for the Chongming Bird bloodline to advance within this month.

Zhou Yan had used his omniscient ability to examine the seemingly inextinguishable flame. It appeared to be a flame unique to the Phoenix, not found in the Vermilion Bird or any of the awakened merchants. Since he couldn't find it, he had to suppress the matter for now.

Zhou Yan led the Chongming Bird out of the municipal government building. Since he still had some free time in the afternoon, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity to find Yang Meixin and see if the Awakened One who followed Detective Wang to find "Spirit Mountain" had left any information for his girlfriend.

Chapter Nineteen Yangmeixin

Rose State, Lilac City.

In May, Jizhou was a region with a rather inconspicuous presence within the territory of the Eastern Xia United States.

There are no large-scale industries or tourist attractions here. Even after the outbreak of the epidemic brought by Zhao Wenhe, the state did not attract much attention. It was not until just before the four-school competition that detailed information about Rose State was presented to a large number of members of Congress.

Afterwards, a Demon-level Awakened One took over the riot control mission given by the Congress and came to Lilac City, the capital of Rose State, to carry out the riot control.

Unlike Zhou Yan, who only had a little over three thousand soldiers, this Demon-level Awakened One was given ten thousand troops by the government. In addition, all the demigod Awakened Ones in Yueji Prefecture had fled to Zhongzhou City to avoid disaster. As a result, this Demon-level Awakened One only spent a little over a month establishing a rudimentary state government team in Dingxiang City.

After Zhou Yan brought the Chongming Bird to Dingxiang City, there were already more than 300,000 disaster victims surrounding the government. Some were farming, some were delivering water, and some were doing handicrafts. A large number of soldiers were patrolling around to maintain order.

This place was clearly guided by an expert. Zhou Yan could tell that the security here was not bad, everything seemed to be in good order, and the people's faces were also very bright.

They're almost the same size as Dongyang Prefecture, which I govern myself.

Upon entering the disaster relief area of ​​Dingxiang City Government, Zhou Yan wandered around the area.

Logically speaking, since Yang Meixin was accompanying Detective Wang to investigate Qian Tong, the awakened one in Lingshan, as his girlfriend, Qian Tong, if he had any ability, should have sent Yang Meixin to live in Zhongzhou City. However, the information Zhang Youbin provided to Zhou Yan was that Yang Meixin was still in Dingxiang City a month ago, and it was unclear what happened after that. Dingxiang City is separated from several riotous states, and Zhang Youbin really couldn't travel through so many places to find Yang Meixin.

85? 76]′634$∷42swamp‖￥who group%＊: A month ago, the federal government sent a new state legislator to govern this place. Could it be that Yang Meixin came back with the new government's administrators?

Zhou Yan casually walked down a street when several military vehicles drove up in front of him, carrying disheveled disaster victims who appeared to have been rescued from other places.

Several officers driving the car glanced at Zhou Yan, but seeing that he was dressed quite neatly, they looked away.

Those who can keep things relatively clean at this time are either capitalists or government officials.

Military vehicles carrying disaster victims drove past Zhou Yan one after another. Zhou Yan then turned into a small alley. At the end of the alley came a person wearing a hat with the brim pulled down, so his face could not be seen.

Zhou Yan immediately stopped, but the person walked straight towards him and bumped into him while he was standing still.

"sorry."

The person who bumped into Zhou Yan said in a low voice, which was rough and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

The person who bumped into Zhou Yan turned to leave, but after taking a step, he felt his wrist being grabbed by a hand. The hand was as hard as an iron clamp, and just by gripping his wrist, he felt that there was no way to get away.

"Yangmei Xin".

Zhou Yan smiled, a sense of joy welling up inside him.

This isn't just one person, it's five million!

The person whose wrist was being held by Zhou Yan was startled and quickly turned around.

Turning his head, Zhou Yan saw a face that was fairly pretty, but it looked tired and anxious, which ruined its beauty.

“Watering∵tum_group:<∶Wu×*7粶六♀)>you…”

Yang Meixin, who bumped into Zhou Yan's arms, stared blankly at Zhou Yan's face, then knelt down and sobbed uncontrollably in front of him.

"Let me go, I... I'll sleep with you, okay? I'll do anything..."

Yang Meixin, who was crying, looked up, opened her mouth, and revealed her tongue. Her tongue was cut in half, splitting it into two halves. At this moment, the two ends of her tongue were wriggling flexibly, like two small pink snake heads.

Here's a little-known fact: when the tongue is split in two, it doesn't reassemble itself; instead, it becomes two separate parts that can move freely on their own.

Zhou Yan had seen many female "bosses" on social media platforms who liked to transform their tongues like this, saying it could bring their boyfriends a completely new experience.

Yang Meixin choked up as she spoke.
