67: Sorry, sorry, I thought it was a speed bump.

"Bai Qiuyue?"

Lu Ming silently repeated the name in his heart.

Hearing this name, she was probably the important figure from the White Tiger Bureau that Chen Ziliang mentioned.

His cheap aunt was really something.

Not only was she broad-minded, but her connections were also unfathomable.

Invest, he must invest.

Zhao Qingge felt uncomfortable under his gaze and discreetly tucked her small feet back into her high heels.

Just a moment ago, when her mind wandered, her small feet had peeked out from her high heels, her fair toes catching a bit of the morning light, and this brat had been staring intently.

While she felt a blush of shame, there was also a hint of secret joy.

Something was wrong; this budding feeling was very wrong.

Zhao Qingge suppressed the flutter in her heart, straightened her face, and tried to make her tone sound more serious: "If you're going, then hurry up. I expect the coffer dam at Dragon King Bay to be closed tonight."

"That fast?" Lu Ming's eyes instantly lit up. "Didn't Chen Ziliang say he still needed to wait a while?"

"Do you think the Night Watch Division only has this much capability?"

Zhao Qingge's eyebrows subtly arched, a hint of undetectable envy in her tone.

"There's a young fellow in the White Tiger Bureau with a nine-star water-elemental talent. His water control is no worse than a Water-Repelling Pearl."

"Water-Repelling Pearl?"

Lu Ming seemed to suddenly remember something and pulled out a greenish bead from his storage bag: "Aunt, take a look, is this it?"

As Zhao Qingge's gaze fell upon the greenish bead, her pupils suddenly constricted.

She quickly stepped forward, took the bead, and her voice was filled with disbelief: "Where did you get this Water-Repelling Pearl?"

Lu Ming's lips curved into a smile: "The Nether Sea Relic!"

So Shi Hu's initial target wasn't that relic, but the immortal corpse at the bottom of Jiangyin River?

No wonder he had always vaguely felt there was a shadow behind the whole affair.

It turned out to be the Reincarnators, those rats in the gutter, causing trouble.

Anyway, many fleas don't itch; an extra Reincarnator would only make it easier to fish in troubled waters.

"Aunt, lend me your car."

...Meanwhile.

At Jiangcheng Grand Hotel, Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling was crying hysterically while hugging a young man.

"Hao'er, you don't know how hateful that Lu Ming is. Not only did he cleave your brother-in-law in half, but he also kept humiliating me."

"My life is so bitter. I finally found a man who truly treated me well, and now he's gone just like that."

Wang Hao patted Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling's back, his eyes hiding a myriad of fury.

He was fighting fiercely against enemies on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, yet his only sister at home was repeatedly humiliated.

If he couldn't even protect his own sister, what was the point of defending this Great Xia!

"Sister, don't cry yet. I've thoroughly researched that Lu Ming. Don't worry, it's a ten-zero split between us—I'm ten, he's zero. First, tell me about the immortal corpse."

Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling suddenly looked up at Wang Hao, and seeing the genuine concern in his eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Hao'er was still Hao'er; he still respected her as his elder sister.

If he said it was a ten-zero split, then it definitely was a ten-zero split!!!

It had to be!!!

As for the immortal corpse, that must just be a secondary matter... "Regeneration ability?"

After hearing Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling's retelling, Wang Hao's breathing became a little hurried.

So the map the Nether race confessed was real?

There really was an immortal?

Damn it, it was truly the right decision to come back this time!

Originally, when Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling called crying, he was angry, yes.

But as a Centurion of the Demon Suppression Army, he naturally couldn't easily leave the border city.

However, that day, while leading a patrol, he intercepted a small group of suspiciousalien race.

The sole survivor, after a session of severe torture, finally revealed their objective—the immortal corpse in Jiangcheng!

Besides that, it handed over a map.

Wang Hao never believed in things like pies falling from the sky, but that beast spoke with such conviction.

Coupled with Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling's constant urging, he simply had to come back this time.

And it turned out to be true?

If he could master such a regeneration ability, wouldn't he be set for life?

Lu Ming was a small matter, the immortal corpse was a big matter. Wang Hao still knew how to prioritize.

But seeing Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling crying as if her heart would break, he still softened.

After all, they had been without parents since childhood, and he had been raised entirely by her.

"Sister, don't cry anymore. Watch how I deal with that little brat named Lu Ming!"

Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling's crying suddenly stopped, and a flash of wild joy flickered in her eyes, which were so swollen with fat they were mere slits.

I knew it!

I knew Hao'er loved me the most!

Little brat, you dared to call me a pig. I will make you beg on your knees.

Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling vigorously wiped the tears from her face, her cheeks, piled with fat, full of excitement.

As for whether Wang Hao would lose, she hadn't even considered it.

Although she had heard some time ago that Jiang Tangyue from Longhu Mountain was slain by Lu Ming, Jiang Tangyue was Jiang Tangyue, merely a simp, and didn't represent anything.

With Fourth Realm Seventh Layer Wang Hao plus her own Fourth Realm Second Layer, dealing with a Third Realm minnow...

She didn't even know how they could lose!

...About half an hour later.

The two lay in wait on the only road leading to Dragon King Bay.

Wang Hao's fingertip rested on the hilt of his Profound Iron Battle Saber, his gaze, like an eagle's, fixed on the winding road ahead.

"Sister, are you sure that little brat will pass through here?"

Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling's tone carried an undeniable certainty: "Absolutely! My assistant has been watching him for several days. A white SUV, heading towards Dragon King Bay, absolutely no mistake!"

Wang Hao glanced at the deserted road, but his brow didn't unfurrow.

Still, the same sentiment: Lu Ming was a small matter, the immortal corpse was a big matter.

This little brat dared to make me wait here for half a day. When he arrives, would it be better to cleave him to death with one strike, or smash him into a pulp with one punch?

Just then, the roar of an engine came from afar. A white car silhouette rounded the bend in the road, its wheels crunching over the pebbles on the surface, making a clear sound.

Patrol Envoy Wang Lingling instantly held her breath, tugging Wang Hao's arm and whispering: "They're here, they're here! Look, it's that white SUV!"

"Alright, you stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."

Before Wang Hao's words finished, he was already in the middle of the road, his Profound Iron Battle Saber held in a reverse grip behind him, looking very cool.

Inside the car, Lu Ming's fingertips were still on the steering wheel. As his gaze swept over the figure suddenly blocking the road ahead, his eyebrow subtly arched.

Then, he floored the accelerator.

The engine instantly roared deafeningly, and the white SUV shot forward like an arrow from a bowstring.

"Bang!"

A dull thud sounded. Wang Hao felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and his entire body was sent flying backward as if struck by a heavy hammer.

What the f***!

When a normal person sees someone on the road, shouldn't their first reaction be to hit the brakes?

He had absolutely not expected Lu Ming to accelerate and charge at him.

Wang Hao trembled with rage, staring fixedly at the white SUV as it slowly came to a stop.

The car door opened, and Lu Ming stepped out, with no trace of apology on his face, but rather a hint of playfulness:

"Oops, my bad, I thought it was a speed bump."
