Luo Chao touched his nose, thinking, this little girl, she even knows how to threaten me with a potion. Once I get her, I'll definitely show her what I'm made of.

Zhao Hanxue noticed Luo Chao was silent, and she really wanted to know the secret of the wrist guard. She couldn't help but say, "Just tell me already, I promise I won't tell anyone else!"

Luo Chao replied in a muffled voice, "No way, my dad said I can only tell my wife."

"What's so great about that? I'll figure it out myself," Zhao Hanxue said angrily, almost like a curse.

"Well, I wish you success, little wolf, grab the box, let's go." Luo Chao hypocritically wished her luck and then tried to leave with Little Wolf.

"There's not just a potion in the box; there's also a detection device I just developed that can preliminarily determine if someone has a superpower constitution. You might find it useful in the future." Although she was angry, she still reminded Luo Chao.

"Special discounts and deals, huh? Thanks." Luo Chao had already walked out of the lab's door as he said this.

Seeing Luo Chao actually leaving without looking back, Zhao Hanxue stomped her little foot in anger. "That dead guy, he's so stingy. I don't believe I can't figure out this piece of worn-out animal hide." Her eyes shone as she glared at the leather wrist guard.

Actually, it wasn't that Luo Chao didn't want to tell her; it was just that it involved cultivator techniques that can't be explained scientifically. Even if he tried, it would only get more confusing. Luo Chao himself didn't understand why drawing talisman paper in a certain way could bring power. If there's a slight mistake, it becomes useless.

The profound truths of the world contained within remain a mystery to Luo Chao. If you forced him to explain, he wouldn't be able to do it.

By now, everyone should understand. That leather wrist guard is actually a defense-type spirit talisman, just made into the shape of a wrist guard by Luo Chao.

With Luo Chao's current strength, he wouldn't have been able to make it under normal circumstances. But the Dragon Team's beast hide was simply perfect, with spiritual power infused throughout and not leaking any bit. When Luo Chao tried it out, it worked perfectly. Although it's not as strong as a normal defense talisman, it's only slightly inferior and can handle attacks of common power levels effortlessly.

"Tian Brother, you were inside for three days making this sort of thing. It's really amazing!" Little Wolf said, full of admiration as he followed Luo Chao around.

"It's nothing much; wait until you see something really surprising." Luo Chao smiled proudly. Over the past few days, he not only made many spirit talismans but also successfully completed the Green Forest Sword ritual, making it controllable at will. You could say he had a huge windfall.

"Oh right, Little Wolf, I'm planning to head back to Liuhai shortly. I'll return when Headquarters assigns us a mission." Luo Chao told Little Wolf. He still had a student identity, and since there wasn't much happening in the Dragon Team, he might as well go back to school for fun.

Little Wolf listened to Luo Chao and after a moment of silence, looked up at him, "Tian Brother, can I go with you?"

Luo Chao was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected Little Wolf to have that idea. After thinking about it, he figured it wasn't a big deal to bring him along. So he said, "Sure, I'll take you with me."

And just like that, he was ready to leave. He reported to Tie Xiong, who only reminded him to stay safe and keep out of trouble. Luo Chao then briefed a few other team members, but no one seemed to care, leaving him quite hurt. Did he have such little standing in their hearts as a team leader?

Feeling a bit confused, Luo Chao, with Little Wolf in tow and the Green Forest Sword on his back, hurried back to Liuhai City.

Every time he returned here, Luo Chao always felt very at ease, like coming home.

The first thing was to find a place to stay. Since Little Wolf was with him, he needed to find a place for him as well, in case he couldn't stay at school in the future.

Although Luo Chao had plenty of money, he didn't want to buy a huge villa in the suburbs to show off. It wouldn't be as interesting as living in a busy community.

But it couldn't be too low-class either; that would be embarrassing. After thinking it over, he came up with a good choice. The community where Yuan Fei's widow lived was nice, with a serene environment, not far from Huaxia University, and in a good location. Plus, he could visit Liu Su's house occasionally and tease little Lingling.

Luo Chao found the company responsible for selling properties in Qianjing District. By chance, an apartment on the same floor as Little Lingling's family had just been vacated. It was a three-bedroom, one living room unit, already furnished, with utilities in place, ready to move into without any hassle.

Luo Chao didn't mind that someone else had lived there before; he wasn't a perfectionist and didn't have obsessive habits. To him, as long as he could live in it, that was fine. He immediately decided to buy it. The house's owner wasn't short on money; they were moving abroad and might never come back. Eager to sell, they put it on the market for 1.5 million. By that afternoon, Luo Chao had completed the transaction and the title transfer.

They went shopping, buying some daily necessities for Little Wolf and himself, as well as some clothes, and then officially moved in. After surveying the room's decor, Luo Chao nodded in satisfaction.

"Little Wolf, you pick a room." Luo Chao generously let Little Wolf choose first.

"I'll just take that one," Little Wolf said, pointing to the smallest bedroom.

"Then I'll take the master bedroom. I like the big bed," Luo Chao said unabashedly after Little Wolf had chosen. His reason was that a big bed would be useful for bringing a girlfriend home someday without worrying about falling to the floor.

"Little Wolf, get your things sorted out. Later, I'll take you out for dinner."

"Okay."

"Knock, knock, knock." After knocking, a tiny porcelain-like girl opened the door shortly after. Her adorable eyes went wide at the sight of Luo Chao.

"Little Lingling, do you still remember me?"

"Hehe..." With a bell-like laugh, Little Lingling said, "Hug, Brother!"

She stretched out her small arms, wanting Luo Chao to pick her up.

Bending down, Luo Chao scooped Little Lingling from the ground in one swoop, placing her on his shoulders. "Little Lingling, why aren't you in school?"

"Silly big brother, what time is it now? School's long over." Little Lingling laughed, holding onto Luo Chao's collar.

"Oh right, big brother forgot about that!" Luo Chao feigned annoyance because he wanted to tease the little girl, who was really so well-behaved, sensible, and adorable.

"Lingling, who is it?" Liu Su's voice called from inside, accompanied by the sounds of chopping and cooking.

"It's big brother!" Little Lingling answered crisply.

"Hmm!?" Liu Su responded with some confusion, momentarily unable to recall who Lingling's big brother was. She wiped her hands on her apron and walked out of the kitchen.
