Chapter 53 Promotion and Salary Increase

By the time Xue Jing walked out of the bathroom, it was already an hour later.

He walked into the living room and saw the cat curled up on the sofa.

"Huh? You changed back?"

Xue Jing was surprised.

The person on the sofa was not Ning Fengwan, a beautiful girl with black hair and cat ears, but a black cat with four white gloves.

"Yeah." Ning Fengwan buried the cat's head in the gap of the sofa and answered in a muffled voice.

She didn't know how to face Xue Jing.

He had such close contact with her in the form of a human body... and finally touched the unsheathed holy sword.

This was too exciting for a girl who had never held a man's hand.

When she thought of this, she wanted to hit her head and die on the spot.

Ning Fengwan stretched out two cat paws and covered her face.

"Xiao Wan, how did you change back? Can you change again?"

Xue Jing walked to her side and sat on the sofa.

"You should call me the leader..." Ning Fengwan said weakly, and then sighed:

"...I don't know. I turned back into a cat after I calmed down just now."

"Now I can't turn into a human again. It's really weird."

She was a little disappointed, but also relieved.

If she could completely return to human form, then she would have no reason to stay in Xue Jing's house and become the leader of the Huilong Sect again.

Now, although she has turned back briefly because of the special conditions, the situation is still unstable, so she has to continue to stay.

"Well...I recently met someone who knows a lot about divine relics. I will go to her tomorrow to ask about the details." Xue Jing pondered.

Ning Fengwan nodded, and did not ask Xue Jing how he knew this kind of person, but just looked at him with emerald-like vertical pupils, with complicated eyes.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the awkward atmosphere gradually spread between the two.

Xue Jing had been pretending to be calm since he came out of the bathroom, but he couldn't hold it anymore.

He coughed dryly and said unnaturally: "I'm going out for a walk."

Then he got up, took the key, and went out.

After hearing the door close, Ning Fengwan lay on the sofa like a cat, staring at the ceiling absentmindedly.

The girl's mind was filled with all kinds of things in the bathroom, and she began to toss and turn on the sofa.

...

The next morning, after Xue Jing woke up, he lifted the quilt, looked at the cat still sleeping beside him, and smiled.

Yesterday, both of them calmed down for a while. When Xue Jing returned home, the awkward atmosphere had dissipated, and the way they got along with each other was back to normal.

At least on the surface.

As for how things will develop in the future, and what happened in the bathroom last night will eventually ferment into, let time witness it.

As usual, breakfast was made. According to the prompt on the panel, Xue Jing's [Cooking Skills] finally entered the level of Lv4.

After going out for a daily run and taking a shower at home, Xue Jing set off for Qingda University.

Without stopping, he came all the way to the seventh floor of Qingda University Library.

In the dimly lit old library, there was still only one girl, sitting upright on a wooden chair, holding a book in her hand, exuding a quiet atmosphere.

Today's girl was not dressed in the slim white T-shirt and tight jeans before, but a black shirt with a beige and gray women's plaid shirt, the bottom edge tied at the waist, highlighting the slender waist, and a pair of slim black trousers on the lower body, which bound the slender and fleshy long legs, and simple white canvas shoes on the feet.

Because it was very fresh, Xue Jing couldn't help but look at her twice, and then took out [Crown of the Evil Girl] and [Ordinary Glasses] from his schoolbag and put them on the table in front of Wu Youqing.

"BOSS, mission completed." Xue Jing sat on the chair and smiled.

Wu Youqing closed the book in her hand, blinked, and looked at Xue Jing with her lavender eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job this time."

She said softly.

"I didn't expect that someone else would come and interfere. I'm sorry that you were in danger because of this incident." The girl had a hint of apology on her face.

Xue Jing shook his head and said, "You are not a god. How can you think of everything? Since I chose to join the company and signed the contract, I have been prepared. This level of danger is expected. Don't worry about it."

Wu Youqing nodded and said softly, "Having said that... Because of the special circumstances of this containment mission, I will upgrade it to C+ level evaluation, and your share subsidy will also increase, which is considered compensation."

She took out a document from the bag on the seat next to her and handed it to Xue Jing.

"The man you killed was buried yesterday, and his identity has been investigated."

Xue Jing took the document and opened it.

There was a photo ID printed on the folder, and it was the man Xue Jing killed yesterday.

His name was Zhu Yingkun, and he was born in Yuancheng, one of the three inner ring cities in the fifth metropolitan area.

"This man is a C-level shelter worker belonging to Xu's shelter company."

Wu Youqing leaned forward slightly, leaning towards Xue Jing, and spoke.

"But I contacted Xu's Shelter yesterday, and they told me very confidently that they did not assign Zhu Yingkun to perform this shelter mission. This was his own personal behavior."

"This is a messy account that cannot be settled. It can only end here-but I don't think Xu's Shelter is shirking responsibility."

"Leaving your own jurisdiction and running all the way from the inner ring city to shelter a C-level divine relic, this does not seem like a task assigned by the shelter company."

The girl whispered in front of Xue Jing, her hair falling in front of her eyes, exuding a faint fragrance.

"But no matter what the reason is, I will let Xu's Shelter give you some compensation."

Xue Jing nodded, "You decide."

Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss, and the other party was crushed by him.

"Speaking of which, Zhu Yingkun's autopsy report is a bit strange." Wu Youqing stared at Xue Jing and said meaningfully.

"Except for one of the eyes being destroyed, there are almost no wounds on the body surface, but the internal organs seem to have been eaten out of thin air and disappeared without a trace."

"That kind of wound, it's even impossible to detect how it was done..."

Xue Jing pinched his chin: "Well... Can I not tell you? Good sister."

He didn't know what other people would think of Shadow Flame's superpower-like skills, so it's better not to expose it for now.

Wu Youqing nodded and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. Everyone has secrets. It's enough to know that you have the corresponding ability to contain them."

She took out another thing from her bag.

It was a black ID card similar to an ID card, made of obsidian, and slightly reflected in the dim light.

The front was "The Death of God" outlined in white strokes, and the painting was very delicate.

There were a few lines of words written on the back.
