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

Zhou Yan's adoptive father couldn't help but look towards Zhou Yan's bedroom, and said angrily.

"Is Wanwan putting on makeup? Why hasn't she come down yet?"

Zhou Yan's stepmother also felt that things were not going to continue like this.

"I'll go upstairs and go find Wanwan. Sigh, this child is just so unsettling."

The stepmother put down her chopsticks and went upstairs. A few minutes later, Zhou Yan's stepmother came down the stairs in a panic.

"Hey old man, come up here for a second..."

Zhou Yan's adoptive father clearly sensed that his wife's tone was off. In the current situation, the only thing that could make his wife feel something was wrong must be that unsettling daughter.

Suppressing his anger, the cheap father tried to sound as indifferent as possible.

"Oh, okay, I'm coming up..."

Zhou Yan's adoptive father put down his chopsticks, and Erba Langshen asked a question at this moment.

"Has something happened to Wanwan?"

The cheap father and cheap mother both looked unwell.

"My cheap dad forced a smile."

"No, Xiao Tao, you stay here and eat well, I'll be right back."

Erlang Shen put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"Please tell me, is Wanwan really in trouble?"

Erlang Shen's face turned solemn. Before, Erlang Shen had always been reserved when eating and speaking. Although he didn't put pressure on people, he still gave off a cold and unsmiling feeling. Now, he was no longer reserved. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was like a mountain collapsing and a sea crashing down, with a suffocating pressure coming at you.

Zhou Yan's adoptive mother was the first to break down, and cried out.

"Wanwan, Wanwan is missing. I've searched the entire second floor, but she's not here."

Erlang Shen nodded.

Bai Ze ran away...

It's not entirely unexpected.

"Auntie, don't worry, take me to Wanwan's room and see if I can find any clues about her."

A slight crack appeared on Erlang Shen's forehead, and no matter how this wicked beast transformed, it could not escape His third eye.

Anyway, he's her daughter's fiancé, Zhou Yan's stepmother chimed in.

"Okay, Xiao Tao, come up here."

Erlang Shen and Zhou Yan's adoptive father went upstairs, and the three of them went to Zhou Yan's bedroom together.

Erlang Shen was the first to walk to Zhou Yan's computer desk, where Zhou Yan's phone was still on the desk. Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan's adoptive father hurriedly said, "..."

"He didn't even take his phone, so this kid can't be that capable."

Erlang Shen secretly glanced at Zhou Yan's cheap father.

Zhou Yan didn't take his phone because he was afraid of being tracked by it, though he couldn't say that directly.

Erlang Shen then checked Zhou Yan's dressing room and bathroom, and searched all the other rooms, but still couldn't find him. So Erlang Shen took Zhou Yan's adoptive parents downstairs and started looking for him on the first floor.

The three men went through the living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and office, room by room, until finally, in the maid's bathroom, they saw the maid lying on the floor, stripped down to only her underwear.

Zhou Yan's adoptive parents looked unwell upon seeing this, and Zhou Yan's adoptive mother turned pale.

"I'll go get the family doctor."

Erlang Shen shook his hand.

"This person is alright."

Erlang Shen walked to the communal washing machine in the corner of the servants' restroom, opened the washing machine, and took out a set of very understated casual clothes.

Zhou Yan's mother covered her mouth.

"This is what Wanwan wore before..."

Erlang Shen looked down at the washing machine, where Zhou Yan's underwear was still inside. The girl's fragrance wafted into Erlang Shen's nostrils, and Erlang Shen's face tightened.

Did they run off while changing clothes?

Erlang Shen put down his clothes, walked to the servant Si who had collapsed on the ground, knelt down, and helped the unconscious servant Si to her feet.

Zhou Yan's adoptive parents didn't see Erlang Shen do anything either. In any case, after Erlang Shen helped the servant up, the servant slowly woke up.

"Eh, I..."

"Young Master Zhou, Master, Madam..."

Erlang Shen slowly released his grip on the servant.

"Can you move? Are you alright?"

The maid touched the back of his head blankly; apart from a slight pain there, there was nothing else wrong.

"Hey, my clothes!"

The maid then realized that her standard maid uniform was gone.

Erlang Shen interrupted the servant's surprise.

"Let's put these minor things aside for now. Tell us, what happened before you passed out?"

The maid touched the back of her head (it hurt a lot) and thought for a while.

"It seems that I, I needed to pee, so I went to the toilet. Then I saw a prostitute outside the toilet, and then I went into the toilet. After that, I, I had a headache, and then... I passed out."

This explanation aligns with Erlang Shen's thinking: that wicked beast must have run away after Lin Ziwei's attempts to disrupt things failed. This also proves that marrying that wicked beast was the right choice; otherwise, it wouldn't have escaped.

Erlang Shen turned around and spoke to Zhou Yan's adoptive parents, who were completely unable to understand the current situation.

"Uncle, Aunt, please contact all the security teams to seal off all the entrances and exits of the villa. Also, bring over all the surveillance footage from today. I'll have someone investigate the surveillance footage and the villa."

Erlang Shen had already deployed a bunch of top-notch detectives outside, and also released his most trusted celestial hound, Xiaotian. Now, neither the top-notch detectives nor Xiaotian has told him that Zhou Yan has escaped. Erlang Shen estimates that there is a high probability that Zhou Yan is still hiding in the villa.

Erlang Shen was determined to find Zhou Yan, after all, he was going to give Zhou Yan an intense and passionate night tonight.

Zhou Yan's adoptive father reacted the fastest.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right now."

Chapter Thirty-One: Clues

Ten minutes later, Xiaotianquan walked in with several detectives.

Erlang Shen asked the detective to check the surveillance footage, while he himself took Xiaotianquan to the bathroom where the servant had been knocked unconscious and handed Zhou Yan's casual clothes to Xiaotianquan.

The Celestial Hound sniffed Zhou Yan's clothes, puzzled.

"Bai Ze smells so good."

The celestial dog stuck out its tongue and licked the collar of Zhou Yan's clothes. This was always the place where he sweated and produced the most oil, and the smell was the strongest there.

"Howling Celestial Dog exclaimed in surprise."

"His body was clean, and there was no unpleasant smell."

Here's a little-known fact: male sex hormones smell bad. So, in this outfit, the dog won't smell any male body odor, only the delicate fragrance of a young girl.

Erlang Shen said solemnly.

"A female body is nothing special to this white-haired beast."

Erlang Shen could not count how many times Bai Ze, that white-haired monster, disguised himself as a female immortal to seduce male gods when the Heavenly Court was still at its peak.

Even a true god could be fooled by Bai Ze's female form, souso:9∫÷四8◇△尔三『≮炩—＃ that beast could naturally portray a woman perfectly, inside and out, without revealing the slightest flaw.

"Howling Celestial Dog said happily."

"Now that you mention it, I'm reminded of Nezha. That brat had such a violent temper back then, he even dared to kill his own father, but in the hands of Bai Ze, he was completely tamed..."

The Celestial Dog walked to the shower room where Zhou Yan had taken a shower, opened the door, went inside, and even sniffed.

Erlang Shen asked from outside the shower room.

"How about it?"

The Celestial Hound came out rubbing its nose.

"The smell here is much fainter than outside. If I'm not mistaken, after Bai Ze knocked out that male servant, he came here to take a bath. While bathing, I don't know if he used magic or sealed all the pores of his body to suppress the smell on his body."

Erlang Shen said with a solemn expression.

"How could Bai Ze possess such abilities?"

Judging from the previous encounter with Bai Ze, Bai Ze was still young and his supernatural powers were not yet fully developed. Although this ability to seal pores and dispel scent is not a particularly powerful thing, it is not something that a young Bai Ze could use.

"Perhaps it contains some kind of magical artifact?"

The Celestial Hound reached out to Erlang Shen, who handed him the shoes of the male servant who had just fainted. The Celestial Hound sniffed them and then immediately turned his head away.

Zhou Yan smelled nice, but the male servant's shoes were incredibly smelly.

After throwing the male servant's shoes aside, Xiaotianquan took a few deep breaths, sniffed, and walked out of the servants' bathroom. He then walked all the way to the back of the villa, exited through the back door, and finally arrived at the east gate of the villa, which was heavily guarded by several security guards.

Several security guards saw Erlang Shen approaching and bowed to him in turn.

Good evening, Young Master Zhou!

Erlang Shen nodded to the security guards.

Following the scent, the celestial dog walked out of the East Gate, circled around several streets, and finally found a set of discarded servant's clothes by a clean stream.

Erlang Shen walked up to the clothes and picked them up.

Did they run away?

The Celestial Dog sniffed around again.

"Bai Ze must have jumped into the river; the scent disappeared here."

Erlang Shen swept across the river in front of him. The river was dark and gloomy, and he could not see anything underwater.

Bai Ze probably ran along the river, but it doesn't matter.

Erlang Shen, being a local bigwig, has connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world. Since Bai Ze's supernatural powers are not yet fully developed, he can still capture Bai Ze by overwhelming him with sheer numbers.

Erlang Shen took out his phone and began setting up a net to capture Bai Ze.

……

Meanwhile, three kilometers away from Erlang Shen, a small hand reached out from the river to the steps leading to the drinking fountain.

Zhou Yan poked half his body out of the water and then climbed up the steps.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it..."

Zhou Yan, soaking wet, wiped his face and spat out the mouthfuls of water.

"Bai Ze, Bai Ze, Bai Ze..."

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and walked up the steps leading to both sides of the river. The boy vowed that if he didn't find the Bai Ze hiding in the shadows, he would skin it alive and make it into a scarf.

The riverbanks were lined with flowerbeds, beyond which lay a residential area. It was evening, and many people had just finished get off work and dinner and were out enjoying themselves. (Qiu)

Because she was naked and in female form, Zhou Yan could only crouch in a dark corner after reaching the flowerbed, slowly searching for a house where she could steal some clothes.

However, as a Bai Ze, especially an awakened one, luck was on Zhou Yan's side. After walking only a few steps, Zhou Yan saw several somewhat worn animal clothing boxes. These boxes had the words "Please donate worn-out clothes to those in need" and "Boundless love" written on them.

Zhou Yan's eyes lit up.

Zhou Yan had read in other people's articles that these clothing donation boxes, which appeared to be placed near residential areas by government charities, were actually run by private groups. Their aim was to get nearby residents to put their old clothes in them, which were then transported to third-world countries to be sold. *Hiss*

These trunks are said to be very profitable; these private groups earn tens of millions annually. Umbrellas

At the time, Zhou Yan launched a long-term campaign of verbal attacks against these private groups that marketed their supposed benevolence, believing these scoundrels to be utterly inhuman.

Now, Zhou Yan immediately realized the benefits of these animal-shaped clothing trunks.

Zhou Yan walked to the trunk and pulled out some clothes. The kind person who brought these old clothes probably thought they were going to be given to poor people. They had been washed before being brought in, and they were clean and had a faint scent of laundry detergent.

Zhou Yan also found a pair of cleaned sneakers inside, which didn't even smell bad. He tried them on, and wow, they fit perfectly.

Zhou Yan picked out a set of clothes that fit him and put them on, then took out a baseball cap and put it on.

Zhou Yan, who originally had no clothes on, instantly became a flamboyant young man with a mixed-and-matched outfit, but still looking quite good.
