Liu Dong's gaze shifted between the person and the ghost, noticing that the latter dared not make a sound or even fart. He quickly understood what was going on. "Mm, it came up and provoked me, so I had no choice but to beat it," Yao Yao said without denying it. Upon hearing her response, Liu Dong's sense of awe grew even stronger. To be able to reduce the Red Ghost to nothing but a head and still remain unscathed meant that her strength must surpass at least two levels. The lowest tier of Red Ghosts usually required at least a fourth-level Xuan Master’s power. This meant that Little Master could very well be at the sixth level! Three and a half years old, and at the sixth level! On their own, these two terms were normal, but together, they were terrifying. Liu Dong couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath, and for the first time, he felt the weight of his head. After all, even the highest leader in the Special Department only had this level of power! "May I ask, Master, have you decided how to deal with it?" Liu Dong had now dropped the "little" in his title, for a potential sixth-level cultivator was not someone he could afford to be careless with, no matter their age or appearance. "Well, I don't have any particular plans. Do you want it? If not, I’ll just crush it," Yao Yao said casually, extending the ghost's head forward. Liu Dong was so frightened by the ghost's blood-soaked face that he recoiled. He forcefully suppressed his growing panic, cleared his throat, and said, "Of course we want it. To be honest, in the capital, the dangerous areas are all marked by our Special Action Bureau. The sudden appearance of this Red Ghost is very suspicious, and we need to investigate it further to understand the cause." "Don’t worry. I'll report your contribution for capturing the Red Ghost. You won’t be shortchanged." Such a powerful person might not care about the reward, but Liu Dong didn’t want to take advantage of her and leave a bad impression. "Take it, then," Yao Yao said as she made a gesture, sealing off the ghost's spiritual power with a talisman. She casually tossed the sealed ghost's head to Liu Dong, who fumbled to catch it. Seeing that it had truly escaped from the little terror's clutches, the Red Ghost let out a big sigh of relief. It knew that it would rather fall into the hands of the Special Action Bureau than face that little demon again. But just as it was about to exhale, the little demon turned around and grinned at it, revealing two sharp tiger teeth. "Oh, by the way, there’s a forbidden spell on you. If you say anything you shouldn’t, you’ll explode into fireworks, like this!" Yao Yao raised her hand, and a bolt of lightning shot out, crashing into a nearby dead tree with a deafening boom. The trunk, as thick as a person's arms, was instantly shattered into pieces. "......" The Red Ghost felt like it had a thousand wild horses galloping through its mind, but it didn’t dare make a sound. It sensed the power of the forbidden spell on its head, and the force radiating from it made its soul tremble. This made it realize that if it spoke, it would truly die. Liu Dong couldn’t help but swallow. Was this the power of a possible sixth-level cultivator? With just a casual strike, it had such terrifying results! No wonder even the Red Ghost was quiet as a chicken. He couldn’t help but wonder how this master trained. She probably sat on some sort of accelerator! "Seventh Brother, let’s go back." Yao Yao walked over to Gu Yu, her small face smiling. Clearly, she was in a good mood. Although she had only devoured part of the Red Ghost’s body, the dark energy and soul inside had alleviated the devouring urge reflected by the shadow, enough to last her for half a month. "Let’s go. The car is ready," Gu Yu nodded. Throughout, he had placed absolute trust in his sister's abilities. So, he had just sat on the stone, watching these people grow anxious, already tired of waiting. He clapped his hands, stood up, and began walking. When they arrived, he had been in such a hurry to use the Ground Shrinking Talisman. But now that they were heading back, it wasn’t such a big deal. After all, Yao Yao hadn’t asked him for the talisman back. The saved one would now be his! Such treasures were difficult to request from his own sister without a good reason. He opened the car door for Yao Yao, and after they got in, he pulled out his phone, opened the pictures he had taken of the yellow talisman earlier, and posted them in their group chat. 【Old Seventh: Picture 1.jpg】 【Old Seventh: Picture 2.jpg】 【Old Seventh: Guess where I am? It’s the suburbs! We didn’t come by car! Did you see that talisman? Yao Yao’s Ground Shrinking Talisman—traveling thousands of miles in a day, arriving in ten seconds!】 Although it was just text, the show-off tone was so strong that it could be felt even through the screen. The group chat immediately exploded! 【Old Fifth: Old Seventh, you really should die! Always showing off Yao Yao’s treasures, I’ll have Mom and Dad deal with you.】 【Old Eldest: Old Seventh, you really shouldn’t. Such a rare treasure, Yao Yao doesn’t have many. Have some decency.】 Gu Yu glanced at the screen with a sarcastic smile. They wouldn’t understand. If he offered the Ground Shrinking Talisman to them, they’d change their tune faster than anyone! He typed quickly, sending another message. 【Old Seventh: A bunch of sour chickens!】 This unrestrained mocking immediately triggered a chain reaction. A "thud" sound came from his phone, and Gu Yu looked down, noticing the message: 【You have been removed from the group chat by the group owner!】 Gu Yu muttered, "Childish," and leaned back into the seat, feeling utterly lazy. He didn’t mind being kicked out of the group chat at all. After all, this only meant that they were really jealous. With that, his goal was accomplished. In the office of Yaoshi Technology, Gu Li angrily threw his phone onto the sofa and complained to the person sitting beside him, “Big Brother, just tell me, what gives Old Seventh the right to act like that!” “Just because he was the first one to meet someone? Why does Yao Yao give him all the good things?” He had seen his little sister's methods firsthand. With Old Seventh’s boastful attitude, he could tell that the talisman was definitely a valuable item. The more he thought about it, the more sour he became. He was the older brother, so why was his little sister treating him like this? Gu Heng raised his eyes and said indifferently, “You said it yourself. It’s Yao Yao’s stuff. She can give it to whoever she wants.” Gu Li froze, realizing the ambiguity in his own words, and quickly tried to explain, “That’s not what I meant. I just can’t stand Old Seventh.” “Then you should work hard to surpass his status. When there’s something, Yao Yao will definitely think of you first.” Gu Heng said, and Gu Li felt speechless. He had no idea how to surpass Old Seventh’s abilities. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, lowering his head in disappointment. Seeing his younger brother's downcast look, Gu Heng frowned slightly and changed the subject. “How is the Liu Ruhai matter going?” He remembered that it was Gu Li’s task and decided to take the opportunity to ask. “Can you imagine? That coward Liu Ruhai actually kneeled to his wife, begging and promising all sorts of things.” “However, his wife is determined to divorce him, and she wants to make sure he gets nothing from the Chen family. I have enough evidence, just waiting for the trial.” Gu Heng nodded, “Keep an eye on it. If you need anything, just ask.” “We’re not just trying to make Liu Ruhai lose his wealth; we want him to spend the rest of his life in prison.” Gu Li confidently replied, knowing Liu Ruhai’s various illegal activities over the years. He had done plenty of tax evasion and other unlawful dealings. Of course, many others in the circle had done the same, but some were smarter and knew how to set up scapegoats. And while others only checked the surface, Gu Li was determined to dig deeper. Liu Ruhai had offended the Gu family, and now, all those old sins would catch up with him. Considering Liu Ruhai’s age and his charges, he wouldn’t get out of prison once he was in. After answering his older brother's questions, Gu Yu began planning how to get the Ground Shrinking Talisman from Old Seventh. After all, winning over his sister wasn’t something that could happen overnight. But getting the treasure would be much easier!
