104: Chapter 104 Taming the Lightning Sable, Case Solved

In a brief instant, numerous thoughts flashed through Su Fan's mind.

Snatch the ring?

That would mean a complete falling out with Director Sun.

And it would also offend Qin Lulu.

It might even offend those two big shots, Xiao Tianheng and Xiao Tianyong...

Although those two Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Xiao Family, Xiao Tianheng and Xiao Tianyong, most likely didn't know the secret of the ring yet, if Qin Lulu found out it had been snatched by him, there was no telling if she might expose the secret of the ring!

At that point, would he really have to abandon Qin Xiaoxiao and, like Xiao Chen, rely on rampant slaughter in the wilderness to rapidly increase his cultivation?

No, that path was too risky; if things went wrong, he would end up with his corpse exposed in the wilderness!

Thinking of this,

Su Fan flashed a smile at Sun Yaowu: "Then I will have to trouble you, Director Sun!"

"It's a small matter!"

Sun Yaowu wore a seemingly kind smile, and then suddenly launched an attack on Xiao Chen...

A Golden Core attacking a Foundation Establishment; the outcome of this battle was destined, without any suspense.

What's more, a large group of Justice Bureau Cultivators holding torches flew out from the dense forest, surrounding Xiao Chen completely, leaving him no room to escape...

"Almost forgot!"

Su Fan thought to himself, and then quickly arrived at the opening of a tree hollow in a large tree.

"Hehe, it's still here, as expected..."

When he saw that the silver-white Mecha Lightning Sable was indeed still in the tree hollow, Su Fan jumped straight in and reached out to grab its two ears...

This was a mecha beast covered in silver-white crystal armor. It had a pair of sparkling emerald eyes that looked like embedded energy gems, and a pair of foldable silver-white wings on its back. The moment they unfolded, they would release an electric current capable of stunning people. Moreover, its tail, equipped with crystal chips, could not only release an electric current if it swept across someone, but also induce hallucinations.

The Mecha Lightning Sable had maxed-out combat capabilities, but because it couldn't fly in the sky, it wasn't as favored by Cultivators as Spirit Beasts.

"Baby, come, be a good pet and acknowledge me as your master..."

Su Fan grabbed the Lightning Sable's two ears, leaped up, and rode onto its back.

The Mecha Lightning Sable was immediately startled and shook its body desperately, trying to throw Su Fan off.

But it was, after all, only a Tier 2 mecha beast, and its strength was barely equivalent to that of a human Cultivator at the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Being ridden by Su Fan like this, it had no power to resist.

It swung its tail desperately, wanting to stun Su Fan...

But Su Fan was carrying the hunyuan bead at this moment; this little bit of electric current was like an itch to him and had no effect on him at all.

The Mecha Lightning Sable jumped out of the tree hollow, trying to break free from Su Fan, but Su Fan kept riding on it, tightly gripping its two ears and refusing to let go...

"Chi-chi!"

The Mecha Lightning Sable became anxious, emitting whining sounds as it blundered about blindly.

Su Fan chuckled, "Listening to that sound, it's a female..."

Mecha beasts were also divided into male and female. Because their bodies had undergone scientific genetic modification, they were different from ordinary animals and Mutant Beasts. They often had some crystal-armor-like skin or parts of their body tissue, looking streamlined, like a combination of machine and animal.

The Lightning Sable beneath him was still blundering about blindly. Su Fan, while gripping one of its ears, infused his Divine Sense, forcing it to complete the master-recognition process...

After about 10 seconds...

The Lightning Sable finally stopped struggling and running around, instead meekly accepting him as its master.

"Chi-chi..."

When Su Fan jumped off its back, it even stretched its head out to sniff Su Fan's body, stuck out its tongue to lick his pant leg, and gently swished its tail against him—though this time it didn't release any electric current, appearing very fond of its master.

When Su Fan rode the Mecha Lightning Sable back to the battle scene, Xiao Chen had already been fitted with spirit shackles and was being escorted by two Justice Bureau Cultivators...

Seeing Su Fan riding the Mecha Lightning Sable back, Sun Yaowu smiled slightly and waved at him: "Yo, Su Fan, you actually managed to catch such a good mecha beast!"

Other Cultivators also gathered around one after another.

"Whoa, Deputy Section Chief Su, that's awesome!"

"This thing is extremely fast and charged with electricity. How did you catch it?"

"This Mecha Lightning Sable looks so good! Can I touch it?"

"...Ouch! Holy crap! It shocked me!"

A Cultivator had just reached out to touch the Lightning Sable's body when his whole body began to spasm. Scared, he immediately withdrew his hand and didn't dare to touch it again.

Everyone looked at this Lightning Sable with envy in their eyes.

But Su Fan knew that in this operation, his gains were actually the least.

Elder Xiao had obtained the Black Flame Demon King's Primordial Spirit.

Director Sun had captured Xiao Chen, and looking at his beaming expression, he must have obtained the ring.

Compared to those two things, his mecha beast was simply not worth mentioning.

However, given his strength and status here, he couldn't compare to them. If they were eating meat, him getting a sip of soup was acceptable enough.

"Everyone, pack up! Pack up! Let's go back and celebrate!"

Sun Yaowu announced beamingly.

Consequently, the group escorted Xiao Chen back to the Justice Bureau.

And the two Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Xiao Family also returned to the secret Xiao Family manor...

...

Su Fan first took the Mecha Lightning Sable back to his assigned housing, keeping it at home as a pet for now, and then returned to the Justice Bureau to see Qin Xiaoxiao.

As soon as Qin Xiaoxiao saw him, she happily threw herself at him. He was also infected by her joy and scooped her up, lifting her above his head.

The two went to get a room that night and did what needed to be done.

Some positions that hadn't been unlocked last time were newly unlocked this time.

Afterward, Qin Xiaoxiao caressed Su Fan's face and whispered softly: "Su-su, I had an argument with my parents. I was kicked out, and I'm almost out of money now. What should I do?"

"Xiaoxiao, it's okay, I still have a little..."

"Su-su, I only have 50 million left on my card. I'm almost out of money, what should I do... sob sob..."

In the blankets, Qin Xiaoxiao hugged Su Fan, looking so aggrieved she was about to cry.

Su Fan was stunned upon hearing this.

Only 50 million?

No money!?

Qin Xiaoxiao... is that how you define having no money!?

"Su-su..."

Just as Su Fan was blanking out, his body suddenly stiffened, as if he had been frozen in place.

He subconsciously reached out and gently pressed down on Xiaoxiao's head...

Sounds of moaning, mixed with faint gasps, came from under the blankets.

"...Su-su... I want more..."

...

The next day, the news reported the resolution of this major extraordinary power crime case and announced Xiao Chen's verdict: execution by firing squad, to be carried out immediately.

As an illegitimate child of the Xiao Family, Xiao Chen was shunned by everyone in the main line of the Xiao Family. This time, he had caused a major case that shocked the whole country; the Xiao Family wouldn't even think about saving his life, let alone sending him prison meals. After he was shot, no one went to collect his body, and it was left exposed in the wilderness outside the Safe Zone, to be pecked at by crows and hawks...

Xiao Chen's biological father was named Xiao Zhengui, a second-generation member of the Xiao Family's main line, but he had died a few years ago.

It was because Xiao Zhengui had felt guilty that he had brought Xiao Chen to the Xiao Family in the first place.

After Xiao Zhengui died, Xiao Chen was ostracized and suppressed in the Xiao Family and had long intended to leave. However, the arrival of the era of Spiritual Qi revival made him realize that even if he went out into society, there was no place for him. He decided to bide his time in the Xiao Family, waiting for an opportunity...

The moment he Awakened extraordinary powers and found the ring, he thought he was about to start changing his Heaven-Defying fate, and he thought he was going to be the protagonist of this Earth...

He began to increase his cultivation regardless of the cost, even if it meant killing countless people...

And in the end, his fate was to die without a burial place.

...

After the victory banquet, Director Sun suddenly called Su Fan to the director's office.

On the way to the director's office, Su Fan felt uneasy the whole way, "He hasn't discovered anything, has he?"
