210: Chapter 210 Perfect Solution

"Hoo—"

On the grand master chair, Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes.

Along with this long breath of foul air exhaled by him, the suffocating oppressive feeling inside the entire Funeral Shop hall instantly melted away like ice and snow.

Outside the door.

The early winter sunlight finally poured onto the bluestone slabs of Taiping Old Street without any obstruction.

"Resolved?"

Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan leaned against the door frame, the barrels of the two large-caliber rune pistols in her hands covered with a layer of moisture due to being gripped tightly for a long time.

"Otherwise what? Keep that damn city to celebrate the New Year?"

Lin Ye stood up from the grand master chair, his bones emitting a series of crisp cracking sounds like popping beans.

He twisted his neck and casually tucked the dark red [god-beating brick] that had rendered monumental service back into his system space.

"It's just a piece of broken code that got stuck in the Heavenly Dao's bug. Following the network cable over and slapping the host's CPU with two bricks naturally crashes it. What a big deal."

Lin Ye said these words casually, paired with his flippant appearance, making him look just like a street youth who had just returned from pulling an all-nighter playing games at an internet cafe.

But heard in Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan's ears, it was no different from a thunderclap on flat ground.

That was a super-dangerous rule-type Weird Talk that left The Ninth Bureau completely helpless and almost forced the authorities to abandon the entire Jiangzhou City!

It was easily resolved by him with just a phrase of "slapped with two bricks".

Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan took a deep breath and tucked her pistols back into the holsters at her waist.

She walked in front of Lin Ye, her bloodshot phoenix eyes flashing with complex light.

"Lin Ye... You saved the lives of twenty million ordinary people in Jiangzhou City once again. On behalf of The Ninth Bureau..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Before Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan could finish that righteous set of official thank-you words, Lin Ye quickly reached out to interrupt her.

He leaned closer by two steps, his gaze sweeping over Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan's slightly messy lapels, and a mischievous smile hooked at the corner of his mouth.

"Captain Chu, what relationship do and I share between us, so let's stop with those hypocritical official clichés. The grace of saving a life is greater than the heavens; if The Ninth Bureau really wants to thank me, just saying it verbally is useless."

"I won't force anything like offering yourself in marriage, but if you really feel bad about it, next time you come to report your work to me, you can unbutton one button of your uniform slightly, which can be considered giving this great contributor a little insignificant visual welfare."

"You—! Rascal!"

Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan was made so exasperated by his sudden lack of seriousness that her entire chest of gratitude instantly turned into shame and anger.

Two clouds of red flew across her cheeks with a "shua" sound, and she subconsciously covered her collar, glaring fiercely at Lin Ye.

This man could not even stay serious for three seconds!

Clearly, when he was holding down the fort on the chair just now, he looked like a deity looking down upon the world; how come the moment he opened his eyes, he turned back into this glib-tongued street ruffian!

"All right, I won't tease you anymore."

Lin Ye laughed out loud, casually patting Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan's tense shoulders, his tone softening by a few notches.

"Hurry back to the bureau to report back. The barrier of White City outside is shattered, and although those people in Jiangzhou City who turned into sand cannot be saved, the post-disaster appeasement work and public opinion suppression are enough to give The Ninth Bureau a hard time."

"Don't waste time hanging around here; your dark circles are about to drop to your chin, it's so damn ugly."

Although Lin Ye said it was ugly, the comfort in his actions was undisguised.

Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan bit her red lips, knowing that staying here really wouldn't help much.

She took a deep look at Lin Ye, and thousands of words finally converged into one sentence: "Be careful yourself, and the Eagle Country side suffered such a huge covert loss a few days ago, they will definitely not let the matter rest."

"Let them come. One comes, I transcend one; a pair comes, I match them up and send them to ride bicycles."

Lin Ye waved his hand.

Watching Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan push open the door and disappear hurriedly into the morning streets, the hall of the Funeral Shop regained its tranquility.

"Boss... Wuwuwu..."

As soon as Deputy Captain Chu Hongyan left, a dampening sob came from the corner.

Ayugu tightly hugged the bamboo tube containing gu insects in her arms, tears dropping down drop by drop.

Just now, this girl thought Lin Ye really couldn't come back, and she herself was burdened with the destiny of the Miao Territory, so her heart had long staged an eighty-episode large-scale tragic romance and farewell melodrama.

Now seeing Lin Ye wake up alive and kicking, that emotional contrast of drastic ups and downs made her completely unable to hold it together anymore.

"What are you crying for? Mourning a death?"

Lin Ye walked over.

"I've already said, my life is extremely tough, and King Yama doesn't even have my name on his registry."

"And you girl, aren't you quite capable of cursing while playing games usually? When encountering a little trouble, you think of packing a bag to run away from home and go back to the Ten Thousand Mountains to fill the pit. Do you believe that the moment your front foot steps out of Jiangzhou City, my back foot will charge into your Miao Territory and pluck clean the beard of your so-called High Priest?"

While scolding, Lin Ye naturally reached out and ruffled Ayugu's messy hair indiscriminately, messing her originally scattered hair up like a chicken coop.

"Stop messing it up! I'm already losing hair!"

Ayugu sniffed her nose and broke into a smile through her tears.

"All right, get lost and wash your face. Then go to the basement to watch those three old men in red ride bicycles; if they ride one circle less, they won't be allowed any food for lunch today."

Lin Ye dismissed the Miao Territory Saintess like a ruthless contractor.

Helena stood aside, still holding that specially-made tactical stick in her hand.

Her high-slit nun's uniform was stained with a little dust.

"Boss, are you tired? Do you need Helena to prepare hot water for your bath?"

Helena sensibly leaned forward, her voice soft and sweet.

"No need, you've also been exhausted these past few days, go rest in the backyard. I'll give you half a day off, go stroll around the street yourself, just don't go too far."

Lin Ye waved his hand, his gaze passing over Helena and falling onto Leng Yue and Frost Star.

Leng Yue still stood quietly in place.

Just now when Lin Ye's soul left his body, it was she who had continuously protected Lin Ye's heart meridians with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

At this moment, although the expression of this Millennium Drought Demon was calm, the tension deep in her eyes that had not completely dissipated was acutely captured by Lin Ye.

As for Frost Star.

The Nether Empress had been holding it in for a long time.

Seeing that the outsiders were all dismissed, the little girl directly transformed into a pink afterimage, hurtling into Lin Ye's embrace like a cannonball.

"Brother-in-law! You scared me to death! I thought you were really going to turn into sand!"

Frost Star tightly choked Lin Ye's neck, her two slender, fair legs skillfully coiled around Lin Ye's waist.

Burying that country-ruining and people-devastating face deeply into the crook of Lin Ye's neck.

"Alright, alright, aren't I back safe and sound. If you use any more strength, instead of being killed by the Weird Talk, I'm going to be choked to death by you."

Lin Ye smiled and patted Frost Star's pert electric hips, feeling a sheet of astonishing elasticity upon contact...
