One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

"Ew—so sour!"

A moment later, Ai Qing and Chen Yang squatted under the shade of a tree, each gnawing on a segment of orange.

The sourness made their scalps tingle and their shoulders quiver uncontrollably.

But they still persevered, finishing off the oranges they had just bought.

Tossing the orange peels aside, Chen Yang spread his legs as if he had accomplished some arduous task, "Let's get back to business, what should we do about the assessment?"

"We've come all this way and barely encountered any demons or devils, it seems that Baihua County has a really nice environment."

Ai Qing said, "That newly appointed Governor must be quite competent."

"But we still have to complete the task given to us by the army chief, and sometimes you can't just look at the surface." Zhao Meiying seemed to be reminded of something.

She had spent over a hundred years in the Demon Suppression Army and had experienced countless events.

On the surface, it seemed calm, but behind the scenes, the Demon Suppression Bureau was colluding with powerful demons and devils.

The city exchanged its population for temporary peace, which eventually led to disaster.

"Whether it's a mule or a horse, you'll only know once you take it for a spin," Zhao Meiying said seriously, shaking her head.

"That's true," Chen Yang and Ai Qing nodded in agreement.

"However, we can't go overboard with this matter, after all, Li Daoxuan is officially my grandnephew," Zhao Meiying said with a smile, but the thought of the young man being gone made the smile on her face seem somewhat forlorn.

"After all these years, you still haven't let go, Master," Chen Yang said emotionally.

The previous Deputy Governor, Shen Zheng.

He was Li Daoxuan's mentor and Zhao Meiying's senior brother by mentor-student relationship.

Shen Zheng had disappeared for over a hundred years, yet Zhao Meiying never gave up and continued to search everywhere.

"No matter what, we have to see him in life or find his body in death," Zhao Meiying declared determinedly.

"How should we conduct the assessment?" Ai Qing licked the juice on her fingers and tensed her shoulders again with a shiver.

"No wonder that old man couldn't make any money, selling such sour fruit," Ai Qing's shoulders slumped, and she stuck out her pink tongue, a bitter expression on her face as she spoke.

"Should we just knock on the door directly, like a Martial Artist challenging a dojo?" Chen Yang bounced on the ground, throwing a couple of punches into the air with a couple of grunts.

"We're from the Demon Suppression Army, how can we do something so ungallant?" Zhao Meiying smacked him on the head, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, "Besides, once there's preparation, a lot of things change, and demons and devils won't give you a heads-up before they show up."

"You're planning an ambush! What if someone beats you up instead?" Ai Qing's face looked up as she asked.

"Don't worry, we will win," Zhao Meiying raised her chin slightly, and under the sunlight, her fair, pretty face was full of confident smiles.

...

At the Demon Suppression Bureau headquarters, in an antiquely decorated teahouse.

"It's too amazing, outrageously so! Such an aptitude, I've really never heard of it!"

The young girl's continuous words of admiration came from the room, the sound clear and pleasant, full of fervent admiration.

"Um..."

Su Li held a teacup with both hands, her smile somewhat awkward.

Beside her was Li Hongxiu, with long black hair and delicate pale features. She held a piece of cake in her hand, her attention focused on a colorfully illustrated book.

The source of the clear voice was another young girl to Su Li's left.

She was petite and looked cheerful.

A golden bell was tied around her fair ankle, and she sat cross-legged on a cushion.

She was looking at a fundamental diagram hanging on the wall.

The diagram depicted a giant rock formation in a desert, with an odd shape and fierce angles, emanating an indescribable sense of solidity.

This diagram was the fundamental diagram that Su Heng drew after completing the upper part of the Domineering Dragon Secret Method.

It evolved from the Colossal Rock Technique.

After annihilating the Hong Family,

Su Heng took the time to complete the remaining two secret techniques, making them available for the Demon Suppression Bureau members to practice.

With the Domineering Dragon Secret Method fully integrated and the Five Elements generating each other, the difficulty of cultivation was greatly reduced. In more than a month, many elders and disciples of the Demon Suppression Bureau had gained insight and made progress in their cultivation. The girl sitting beside Su Li was one of them.

Her name was Zhao Jinling.

However, she was not one of the elders but one of the two remaining Deputy Governors.

Among the original seven Deputy Governors of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Zhao Jinling was the youngest and undoubtedly the weakest in terms of strength.

On the night of the surprise attack on the Hong Family fort, Li Daoxuan had specially reassigned her.

By the time Zhao Jinling got the news from a demon and hurried back to provide support, everything was already settled.

Upon hearing of Li Daoxuan's death,

She first felt pain and confusion, but after learning that the Sky Demon Alliance and the two major families had been destroyed overnight,

Zhao Jinling was deeply shocked; she had to confirm repeatedly before she could slowly accept the news.

And as for the new Governor, Su Heng,

Zhao Jinling's admiration for him was beyond words.

Unfortunately, Su Heng had been in seclusion, cultivating hard, and Zhao Jinling had yet to have the chance to meet him in person.

"Sister Su Li..." Zhao Jinling clung to Su Li's arm and swayed it back and forth, pleading in a coquettish tone, "Tell me again, what does your brother look like, what funny things did he do when he was little?"

Su Li was so shaken by Zhao Jinling that she nearly poured tea up her nose.

"Haven't I already told you many times?" Su Li gently set down the teacup, somewhat speechless.

"I still want to hear it again..."

"What kind of person do you think he should be?" Su Li, unable to bear further pestering, decided to turn the tables.

"He must be the kind with very fair skin, long hair, and always wearing a profound and inscrutable smile. Sitting in a rocking chair reading a book, without stepping outside, he could grasp the whole situation," Zhao Jinling spoke, gesturing over her own body as she did.
