This must be a group of extremely fearsome creatures.

Logically speaking, these creatures shouldn't appear here. If even one escaped, it would cause huge trouble. They were clearly transferred here temporarily.

The only places capable of removing so many fearsome creatures at once would be the Qin family or the Liu Family Ancestral Residence.

Generations of Dragon Kings have roamed the Jianghu, suppressing evil. Surely, many fearsome creatures were captured and returned to the ancestral residence for eternal suppression.

The old lady really brought out everything this time.

With a sparse family, she used evil creatures to make up for it.

If she truly brought these evil creatures to the enemy's home, released the Seal, or completed the transaction early, it would definitely cause great upheaval, even disaster, to the enemy's household.

And the old lady herself would be embroiled in great karmic consequences, using the Dragon King family's name to privately unleash evil, a deed that would not only anger the Heavenly Dao but also taint the Dragon King family's reputation.

Now, Li Zhiyuan truly understood how heavy the "thank you" the old lady mentioned earlier was.

It seemed that the creatures inside noticed the boy outside touching the door panel Seal, and his mind wandering. They collectively grew restless, trying to seize the chance to crush the boy's spirit.

Li Zhiyuan noticed, his gaze sharpened, staring ahead.

Compared to these great fearsome creatures inside, he was still lacking, but for some reason, when his aura rose, a great confidence naturally surged within him.

As if there was a figure standing right behind him.

At that moment, their auras surprisingly achieved a balance, and the boy was not suppressed.

Gradually, the creatures inside quieted down. They were sealed too tightly, unable to execute any methods. Since intimidation was useless, they were too lazy to continue.

This was also a kind of recognition from them. Since being transferred here, everyone entering and exiting this place had been tested by them.

Even Alii was disturbed, unable to play the qin in peace.

Li Zhiyuan withdrew his hand, turned his head, and looked at the emptiness behind him.

He had just clearly captured that feeling. Who once stood behind him?

His memory loss was only two days; who in such a short time could make him feel a sense of reliance behind him?

Descending the stairs, Alii was already dressed. Li Zhiyuan let her sit in front of the dressing table, picked up a comb, and brushed her hair.

No need to tie it up, just a simple brush would do.

Then, the boy took the girl's hand and stepped out of the house.

It was late at night; not only was the school canteen closed, but the shops outside the school were also long closed. Even if a few were open, they were street stalls, not a suitable place to take Alii.

Luckily, he had a small nook inside the campus.

The campus was quiet at this hour, few were on the road but even if there were, with the boy holding her hand nearby, the girl would not feel afraid.

Arriving in front of the affordable store, the shop doors were still open. Entering, they saw Lu Yi cooking a large pot of something, steam rising.

"Brother Genius, just in time, I'm cooking for them, you want to join in?"

"What are you cooking?"

"Sauerkraut with large bones. Eat up, I assure you it'll leave you speechless."

Li Zhiyuan leaned in to take a look. The aroma of sauerkraut was appetizing. The large bones rolled in the boiling soup, indeed stirring one's appetite. Besides, many dry goods were also cooking in the pot.

"A lot of good stuff."

Lu Yi replied, "Yes, all sent by my family."

"Isn't that too extravagant?"

"Nah, what's the big deal? Good things have to be shared to taste better.

Before, the small meat packaging plant my parents worked at didn't do well, wages were delayed, and they had to take goods instead.

Two months ago, my dad signed an agreement with the town, partially contracted the meat packaging plant. Who knew orders would suddenly come, with the first month halting losses, and the second turning a profit.

However, we still owe a lot of wages, but at least we can see hope.

I don't even know how my dad, a straightforward person all his life, dared to do this. My mom too, always cautious, surprisingly agreed, even accompanied my dad around borrowing for the contract deposit.

They didn't tell me beforehand; I only just found out."

"Congratulations."

Nowadays, many have made a fortune reaping huge gains from enterprise reforms, but those are few; many more have failed and incurred losses.

Lu Yi: "Small money, small money, there's still a large deficit on the books that needs to be slowly paid back."

"But at least you can go home for the New Year this year."

Lu Yi hadn't returned home during the summer vacation, busy doing tutoring jobs to earn money instead.

"That's true."

Lu Yi placed the large spoon by the pot, spotting Alii, wanting to say he'd seen this extraordinarily beautiful girl before; she had come to the store to buy a can of Jianlibao.

But on glancing at the girl holding hands with Brother Genius, that enthusiasm for a warm greeting immediately simmered down, only offering Alii a simple smile.

Then he began slicing blood sausage for the pot.

Alii had seen Lu Yi before. Back then, Lu Yi was like a segment of red snake.

Now, of course, he wasn't, but his slicing of the blood sausage amused Alii slightly, making her subconsciously curl her fingers around the boy's hand.

No matter how clever Li Zhiyuan was, he couldn't guess Alii was picturing a red sausage snake cutting itself for the pot.

The boy assumed Alii was hungry too, so he smiled and said, "We'll eat in a bit, let's check on them first."
