Chapter 1167 - 1164

"By the way, what's that white bundle you've been holding in your hand?"

Momo, driving to He Sisi's house, was chewing on a five-finger dogwood ice cream cone, glancing curiously at the glass water tank in Ah Qing's arms.

She actually wanted to ask Ah Qing just now, what exactly she was holding tightly in the water tank.

However, with people coming and going at the airport, matters involving Spirit Beasts couldn't be discussed openly.

"It's a Sea Hare caught on Qingao Island..." Ah Qing raised her hand with the water tank, inside which was the Sea Hare, snowy white and soft, slowly lifting its head and blowing a string of bubbles as a greeting toward Momo.

"Don't be fooled by its adorable appearance; it contains a special toxin that can forcibly reverse the yin-yang balance. If released in a densely populated area, the masters at the Security Bureau would be chasing us around with a ruler the next day."

Ah Qing, with a serious face, began introducing her "weapon of mass destruction" to Momo and Yang Xinyan.

Normally, creatures like the Sea Hare that can secrete special toxins or hormones cannot be taken out; in addition to their high research value, they are inherently unstable factors.

The Security Bureau is well aware of human nature.

No matter how docile a Spirit Beast is, there's always a risk of stress upon human contact. Following the principle of safety first, Sea Hares should not be taken off Qingao Island, with even scientific research limited to sample collection at their habitat.

It's just that Master Fuli has high authority and rich experience in Spirit Beast management, thus allowing exceptions.

"?"

Momo, upon hearing, promptly conjured a question mark and pinned it on Ah Qing's face.

"No way, sister, does your Security Bureau seriously have such outrageous Spirit Beasts?"

Momo was completely shocked; she initially thought Ah Qing would airlift a modular limb over, attach it to Yang Xinyan to fulfill her wish, and that would be it.

Who would have guessed that Ah Qing would summon such a yin-yang reversing sage?

"Weren't you the one who requested this? Coincidentally, we had it, so we borrowed it..." Ah Qing stated matter-of-factly.

"Is this sage's Mystic Sect Daoist Skill temporary or innate?"

Yang Xinyan, wide-eyed, looked at the Sea Hare, her voice dry and hoarse as if suppressing something while asking.

"It's said to be permanent, but humans seem to have no tolerance for Sea Hare toxins, so they can keep changing back and forth; however, each yin-yang reversal consumes vitality."

With the conversation opened up, Ah Qing shared all she knew with Momo and Yang Xinyan.

Although transformation can continue, there's energy consumption during the yin-yang reversal process.

According to Security Bureau research, humans lose weight rapidly during the yin-yang reversal process, as body fat and muscle break down as consumables.

If overweight, there's a risk of loose skin during the process, requiring surgical correction.

"Hiss..."

Momo took a sharp breath, instinctively shifting her butt towards the door, wanting to distance herself from the Sea Hare.

Initially intrigued, she wanted to see how handsome she'd be if she changed into a man.

But upon hearing the risks of loose skin and stretch marks, Momo was jolted with fear.

Momo was in a weight gain period now, and even though Aphro could repair stretch marks, it would take time.

"Ah Qing... Brother Sea Hare can't spray poison, right!" Momo, full of fear, looked at Ah Qing.

"No, Sea Hare toxin typically activates upon contact or biting; generally, Brother Sea Hare can't even be bothered to move." Ah Qing reassured Momo.

"That's good, that's good..."

Relieved, Momo resumed eating her ice cream, and after a few kilometers from the highway into the city, she stopped the car.

"We're here..."

Momo parked by the roadside and gestured toward the nearby old district.

Though the exterior of the Jinyu District is outdated, the second-hand house average price is around eighty-three thousand, making it one of the top prices in old town areas.

He Sisi is not one to skimp on herself in terms of spending.

Although the new district's housing prices are outrageous, even with the supply from the moneybags, buying is difficult for her.

"Leave the rest to me! Momo, open the sunroof and let me out."

Ansheng set aside the potato chips and pulled a wet wipe from the storage compartment to wipe his hands.

"Alrighty!" Momo cheerfully opened the sunroof, letting Master Fuli out.

"Yip——"

Master Fuli climbed to the car roof, his expression stern as he gazed towards Jinyu District, emitting a fox's yip.

The yip, infused with Master Fuli's will, encased in extreme wrath and power, rippled through the buildings. Though not particularly sharp, the yip was highly penetrating.

In half the old town, living beings' ears were echoing with Master Fuli's command.

[All Spirit Beasts and sentient beings, gather at the east gate of Jinyu District within half an hour!]

[Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless——]

The fox's call resonated at high altitude, causing half the town's insect and bird sounds to vanish, and even the occasional dog and cat sounds fell silent instantly.

Pets with homes dove into their owners' beds, while homeless ones lay flat, covering their mouths tightly.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

As the fox call subsided, Master Fuli stood upright, arms folded as he side-eyed towards the sky, hearing a buzzing of wings nearing from afar.

"Hmm!?"

Master Fuli's expression froze, as he gazed at the sky filled with completely black and entirely brown things.

"Hiss... Which cockroach comrade is proving their way here?" Master Fuli murmured, looking at the flock of gliding cockroaches above, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"Chirp chirp chirp——"

A cluster of cockroaches landed in the roadside bushes, one particularly large cockroach suddenly jumped out, gliding onto the car's hood.

Lingnan Security Bureau · Biological Intelligence Network Department · Jinyu District Group Leader [Twin Tails], greets Master Fuli!

The American Cockroach slightly raised its head, antennae twitching, and lifted a foreleg for a salute to Master Fuli on the car roof, announcing its identity.

"Oh my! A cockroach the size of a slipper!"

Sitting in the back, Yang Xinyan's pupils quaked as she looked at the large cockroach slapping onto the windshield and those twin-tailed ones peeping from the roadside greenery.

"Ah Qing..."

"What did Brother Cockroach just say..." Momo looked at the large cockroach on the windshield, managing to squeeze out a strained smile, her right hand stealthily placed on the wiper lever, ready to act.

"Outside, the American Cockroach said it's a member of the local Lingnan Biological Intelligence Network, the old town group leader..."

Ah Qing, firmly grounded, wedged herself into the seat, her smile barely keeping up as she spoke.
