5: I'm not afraid of thieves, I'm just afraid that you won't come

Lu Ming pulled out his phone.

He skillfully opened the Transcendent Forum.

The posts that greeted him were varied and diverse.

"Mining in the outer mining area of Youhai Mist Zone, Blood Qi eighth levelFull journey protection, 30/70 split of earnings, leaving when full!"

He merely glanced at it before quickly scrolling away.

Mining? Not even a dog would mine!

Not only did mining not earn much money, but 70% of the mined ore would also be taken by the guards.

The faster he swung the pickaxe, the more the guards earned; they were truly winning big.

After looking around, Lu Ming found that the tasks on the forum either had too low a bounty or were too dangerous.

According to their danger level, Mist Zones are categorized from high to low: A, B, C, D, E, and F-grade.

Of course, above A-grade Mist Zones, there are also forbidden zones designated as S-grade by the Great Xia officials.

Beyond the Mist Zones lies the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races.

Legend has it that a hundred years ago, the Great Xia Empress, with a single sword, single-handedly cut through three forbidden zones, completely driving thealien race beyond the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races.

The Mist Zone outside Jiang City is called Youhai, officially designated as a D-grade Mist Zone.

The Youhai Mist Zone is vast, more than a hundred times larger than the entire Jiang City.

Furthermore, it is shrouded inYin Qi year-round, containing not only mutated mountain spirits and beasts but also small groups ofalien race that have infiltrated from the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, making it extremely perilous.

After searching for a while longer, he finally saw the recruitment notice that the Law Enforcement Team had posted earlier.

"Jiang City Law Enforcement Team urgently recruits heroes from all over the world, requiring Blood Qi fifth level and above. Upon passing the assessment, immediate onboarding, monthly salary of 10,000, and five social insurances and one housing fund! Don't just think about it, act now!"

As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Although the Law Enforcement Team is only a subordinate agency of the Great Xia Night Watch Division.

No matter what, it's still an official position, and it's quite sought after, with many applicants.

Seeing that the assessment was today, Lu Ming quickly filled in his information and clicked submit.

Anyway, he had to go to the east of the city to buy some supplies later, so it wouldn't hurt to try...

In the living room.

The Twin Sisters had prepared breakfast early.

Although they had indulged and eaten a lot that morning, they were feeling a bit hungry again by now.

But seeing that Lu Ming seemed to be cultivating in his room, they didn't dare to disturb him.

They sat obediently at the table, still wearing Lu Ming's oversized T-shirt, their pale, slender legs swaying listlessly.

As the hem of the shirt fluttered, the red marks on their skin were faintly visible.

It wasn't until they heard Lu Ming's footsteps that their eyes instantly lit up.

They dashed like two lively fawns to Lu Ming, each embracing one of his arms.

With a telepathic connection, they asked in unison:

"Husband, are you done with your work?"

Not only did the Twin Sisters look alike, but their voices were also very similar.

It felt like listening to a stereo sound, very pleasant to the ear.

Feeling the unique liveliness and agility of the young girls, Lu Ming could only say that double the happiness is true happiness.

Xu Youyou sensed something unusual, a blush quietly crept over her pretty face, her eyes flickered, and she said softly:

"Husband... why don't we eat first?"

Looking at Xu Youyou, who was about to become a little lapdog, Lu Ming awkwardly straightened his face.

"What kind of things are in your little head! Eat first!"

Don't be silly, this morning was just an accident?

I just broke through, and I was too excited, that's all.

A moment later.

Looking at the mountain of meat slices piled on his rice bowl, and then at the Twin Sisters, who were eating a little bit of vegetables and a mouthful of rice with relish.

Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

These two wives he had coincidentally gained seemed overly sensible.

Presumably, they saw that there wasn't much food left at home and wanted to save all the good food for him.

Lu Ming divided the meat from his bowl between the Twin Sisters, saying with some tenderness, "You two eat some meat too."

Who would have thought that even the most gluttonous Xu Lulu only looked at the meat in the bowl.

She swallowed, then put it back into Lu Ming's bowl, sweetly saying:

"Brother works harder, you eat more. Sister and I are fine with just some vegetables."

Xu Lulu felt that her sister was right; Brother cultivated during the day and also at night, which was indeed very tiring.

So he should eat more meat to nourish his body.

Seeing the two still pushing the food back and forth, Lu Ming couldn't help but frown, his voice becoming a bit sterner.

"Don't do this again next time! You're still growing, eat more!"

The Twin Sisters mumbled something, wanting to say more, but seeing that Lu Ming seemed a bit angry, they could only nod gently.

Although she was scolded by her husband again, Xu Lulu still felt sweet.

This feeling of being doted on made her incredibly happy.

With a husband who doted on her, and meat for every meal, and no need to worry about those bad guys, she felt like she was dreaming.

Meanwhile, Xu Youyou couldn't help but let her mind wander.

What did Husband mean by that?

Did he dislike that we were too young? But he also... this morning. If Lu Ming knew that her little lapdog brain was filled with such messy thoughts, he would surely scold her severely again.

After finishing the meal, it was already noon.

Lu Ming returned to his room, picked up his straight saber for self-defense, and only left after making sure Xu Youyou and Xu Lulu had locked the anti-theft door securely.

Although the Law Enforcement Team patrolled during the day.

It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Moreover, those who coveted the Twin Sisters seemed to have not given up.

After breaking through to the ninth level of Blood Qi, Lu Ming's perception had greatly improved.

As soon as he stepped out of the house, he felt a faint, cold gaze flash past.

By the time he wanted to investigate, the figure had already disappeared.

Lu Ming tightened his grip on the straight saber, and a cloud of gloom settled in his heart.

It's not the thief you fear, but the one who keeps eyeing you.

Aside from being able to obtain the kindling from his Twin Sisters, just their tacit understanding and cooperation displayed last night meant he would never let them go.

As someone skilled at playing point guard, he loved teammates who were tall, had long legs, and were excellent at team cooperation.

"So, I need to find a way to eliminate this hidden danger!"

A hint ofmurderous intent flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.

Although he was in the open and the enemy was in the shadows.

But he also had an advantage: the enemy still didn't know that he had broken through to the ninth level of Blood Qi overnight!

The sun was scorching at this moment, making the street drains emit a pungent stench.

A few wild dogs, reduced to skin and bones from hunger, were rummaging through mountains of garbage.

In the shadows lay several messy figures, it was unclear if they were dead or alive.

The largest comprehensive market and the headquarters of the Law Enforcement Team were both in the east of the city, so Lu Ming specifically chose a secluded path.

This area was near the edge of the safe zone, with lush weeds, sparse human presence, and packs of wild dogs.

Lu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the old man who suddenly blocked his path.

"This is truly a good place for murder and disposing of bodies, wouldn't you agree, Old Xu!"
