Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies Chapter 245 71 I Want You to Temporarily Act as the Chief Of

The thin, cicada-wing-like layer of tranquility on the dark, deep water surface was shattered.

Shen Qing and Huang Furo's heads suddenly erged from beneath the water, sending sparkling water droplets flying.

As soon as they surfaced, the two greedily inhaled the long-missed air, their chests heaving continuously.

In this brief mont of respite, Shen Qing and Huang Furo looked at each other simultaneously, seeing the joy of surviving disaster in each other's eyes.

Underwater, Shen Qing naturally let go of his hand and laughed, "Shall we go?"

Huang Furo nodded and said, "Alright."

Huang Furo's entire body shimred with blue light, transforming into a light, flowing beam that shot out of the water, soaring out of the dark cave.

Unwilling to be outdone, Shen Qing utilized the movent technique taught by Huang Furo, kicked his legs, and sprang out of the water, closely following behind.

Ultimately, Shen Qing's mastery of the movent technique was not as swift as Huang Furo's, lagging significantly behind her.

When Shen Qing extracted himself from the stone cave, Huang Furo had already evaporated the moisture from her clothes using her profound cultivation, returning to her usual state.

At this mont, snow was falling heavily.

In the snow, her long hair was tied back, adorned with a simple jade hairpin, appearing extrely capable.

Shen Qing removed the moisture from his damp clothes, walked forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Huang Furo in this vast and boundless world.

The silhouettes of the two appeared and disappeared amidst the swirling snow.

Shen Qing slowly surveyed the surroundings. The once lush and thriving mountain forest was now a desolate sight, both familiar and strange.

Many towering peaks had been flattened by demonic power, an expanse of wilderness mostly buried under snow, leaving only vague traces.

"Now that Zheng Yuanqiu is dead, the position of Chief Officer of the Guardian Martial Departnt is vacant. Shen Chasi, what thoughts do you have going forward?"

Huang Furo's stern voice was particularly clear and powerful in the wind and snow.

After escaping danger, their original superior-subordinate relationship was restored.

Shen Qing did not let himself beco arrogant, quickly adapting to the shift and humbly said, "Does Lord Huangfu have any high opinions?"

Huang Furo pondered for a mont, then said, "A nation cannot go a day without a ruler, nor a family a day without a head. Right now, the Guardian Martial Departnt is in disarray, urgently needing reorganization. I see your cultivation is nearly at the Yu Luo Realm, though not enough to be noteworthy in the county office, it is considered top tier within the Guardian Martial Departnt. And you've accomplished considerable feats, your rits are sufficient."

"I intend for you to temporarily assu the position of Chief Officer of the Guardian Martial Departnt when we return. What do you think?"

At this point, Huang Furo's eyes involuntarily swiveled slightly, quietly resting on Shen Qing.

Hearing her words, a trace of emotion flashed in Shen Qing's eyes, then turned into a more determined light.

"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. I will not let you down. I will do my utmost to prevent the Guardian Martial Departnt from repeating its past mistakes."

"Yes, currently for so reason, demons have beco increasingly prevalent and rampant. The Guardian Martial Departnt must take up the mantle."

Shen Qing nodded heavily.

Huang Furo glanced at the sky and said, "Let's go. You've been missing for so many days, your family must be worried."

With that, she first perford her movent technique, like an arrow breaking through clouds, gliding through the snow-white landscape.

Huangfu family's Da Xu Technique was pushed to the extre by her, and with her Dan Realm cultivation, she seed to rge into the void, her figure constantly flashing, disappearing from Shen Qing's sight in the blink of an eye.

No matter how hard Shen Qing tried to catch up, he could only trail behind distantly.

"Chief Officer Huangfu's cultivation is truly remarkable."

Shen Qing marveled in his heart.

His figure moved subtly, and following Huang Furo, he silently began to practice the still sowhat unfamiliar but fledgling Da Xu Technique, inching towards Yongzhou City at his own pace.

He had only just glimpsed the basics of this cultivation technique, and it was not skillful, even sowhat crude, but under his deliberate control, it appeared graceful and nimble.

Every step borrowed strength appropriately, leaving trails of blurry afterimages in the snowy forest.

Before long, as he stealthily made his way, Shen Qing soon arrived beneath the towering city gates.

He slowed his pace, returned to normalcy, verified his identity, and entered the city.

Considering that the bulky snake skin in his bosom was sowhat burdenso, upon entering the city, he did not delay and went straight to a pharmacy in Yongzhou, exchanging the snake skin for tens of taels of gold, making a small fortune.

At the sa ti.

Inside the small courtyard of the Shen Family, the atmosphere was so tense it seed you could hear the subtle sound of air friction, appearing sowhat "lively."

Inside the hall, nurous uninvited guests occupied the main seats with impunity, sitting arrogantly above.

The leader was a big man with a twisted beard, who smiled casually, saying, "Everyone from the Shen Family, have you thought about our boss's proposition? According to our boss, Shen's Restaurant could earn a daily fortune, but we must not let it wither in your hands."

After speaking, his gaze swept across the chaos in front of him, finally resting on the blood-stained body, a glimr of pride and disdain flashing in his eyes.

Uncle Shen the Second supported the fallen Shen Xiaoshan on the ground, tightly clenching his fists, knuckles turning white from exertion.

Standing beside them, Tian Xiaohu and others were full of resentnt, anger burning in their hearts, but due to the overwhelming opposition, they could only suppress their anger.

"What? Not giving an answer?" The big man with a twisted beard stood up and said, "Now I might as well level with you. Behind our Hei Zhao Gang stands the Zhou Family, the head of the Thirteen Lines. Being noticed by them is your fortune."

"Now that Shen Chasi is dead, you outsiders have no roots. Do you think you can still hold on to this restaurant? We are doing this for your own good. I advise you to respond promptly, don't test our patience."

Hearing the ntion of Shen Qing, the room instantly filled with more sobbing sounds.

Aunt and Elder Sister Shen Fang's eyes were red and swollen, adding a touch of sorrow to the hall's atmosphere.

At this mont, everyone in the Shen Family deeply understood what it ant when people left their tea cooled, what it ant by survival of the fittest.

Tian Xiaohu stepped forward, cupped his hands slightly politely, and said, "This valiant man, our Boss's life or death has yet to be determined. You brazenly offend our Boss, aren't you afraid of our Boss returning and causing you trouble?"

"Hahaha, now that the Prefectural Governor couldn't gain any advantage from the Snake Demon and is in retreat due to injury, the Huangfu family's legitimate daughter vanished without a trace, do you think that Shen fellow anything worth ntioning has any chance of being alive?"

The big man with a twisted beard laughed loudly and said, "Even your backers are dead, dreaming you can keep this restaurant is just delusional."

Xiao Zhi stepped forward and said, "Hmph, if I don't make the recipes in the restaurant, what use do you have with just an empty shell?"

The big man with a twisted beard pulled out a packet of powder from his bosom, saying, "This is Jiu Guang Han Shi Powder. After consuming it, one will feel almighty, as if soaring to immortality. It's an exquisite reward, but it strikes once every seven days. Once it strikes, the body feels like it's being bitten by ants, only relieved by taking it again. Heh heh, do you think…"

The big man with a twisted beard didn't elaborate, but Xiao Zhi and the others heard clearly, breaking out in a cold sweat instantly.
