Inside the meeting room of the Special Warfare Bureau, the images of Zheng Qing and Zhang Ligong disappeared.

Five seconds later.

"Zhang Ligong is still the same old Zhang Ligong."

"It's hard to change one's nature, and when that nature becomes instinct, it's even less likely to change."

"Let him go, let him make contact with Li Changzhou, and fawn over him. Once he's under Li Changzhou's command, we'll ask him about the three skills he's obtained right away so that the Intelligence Department can further analyze Li Changzhou."

"He was a Saint Master before, and now Li Changzhou, he is indeed a useful tool."

"This time it's different from with the Saint Master, we must be careful."

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly grew heavier.

The Special Warfare Bureau isn't concerned about how powerful the players that Zhang Ligong comes into contact with are.

Zhang Ligong's rank is not low, and he knows some of the strengths of the Special Warfare Bureau. If he really flatters those seeking power, he naturally knows what to do and understands who is the most powerful. He would not betray the Special Warfare Bureau.

Li Changzhou is the only one that the Special Warfare Bureau isn't confident about; Zhang Ligong might actually switch to his side.

"And that Zheng Qing, let's discuss her too," the bureau chief sighed.

Just when the situation seemed stable, it became chaotic again because of the events in Song City. How many other figures like Li Changzhou would follow suit?

We must quickly convey to the outside world the message that 'Li Changzhou has submitted to the Special Warfare Bureau' to prevent any players from taking advantage of the situation.

In addition, the rebuilding of Song City and the matter of compensation also need to be discussed with other departments...

A so-called water villa is a house built over water, which is probably how Li Qianxia understood it.

Water villas vary; some are connected by wooden bridges, others require a boat ride and are completely separate, located on shallow sandbanks at sea. The one that Turquoise Pool took them to required a boat ride.

The water was shallow, and looking through the clear surface, the seabed was visible.

"Turquoise Pool sister, this place is amazing! Do you come to play every winter?" Li Qianxia gazed at the house in front of her.

The roof of the house had overhanging eaves and flying walls, an original natural style but also luxurious, and it also had a bit of a Jiangnan water town style to it.

Two stories high, with spacious rooms, the first-floor terrace had a beautiful swimming pool, and the second floor had a slide that went directly into the sea!

"I've only been here twice," Turquoise Pool sat down on the couch in the living room on the first floor, her face showing a relieved expression, "There are many fun places in the world, the Maldives aren't much."

"Wow, the roof of the second floor is remote-controlled, you can lie there and watch the stars at night! I call the second floor!" Li Qianxia was already on the second floor.

Yang Qinglan was also a bit curious, her gaze turning towards the study.

"Does this count as your secret base?" Li Changzhou picked up a bottle of wine from the bar.

"Secret base? I call this a refuge," Turquoise Pool said, with her elbow resting on the back of the sofa, her dress outlining her graceful figure.

She added, "I have refuges all over the world, and yet I still feel insecure. The 'Honeypot World' of the full moon event in Prague is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, it's a pity I wasn't chosen back then."

She laughed as if making small talk, but her gaze at Li Changzhou was meaningful.

During the full moon event, Li Qianxia had been on a live broadcast; every player in the world knew her.

For most players, even if they remember Li Qianxia's face once, it will soon be forgotten and they won't recognize her even if they run into her on the same road during the day. But for someone like Turquoise Pool, remembering Li Qianxia's appearance is basic.

It's just that they weren't acquainted before; it wasn't good to bring it up.

"The 'Honeypot World' is with me," Li Changzhou said, tossing his hand, and Little Radish and butterflies appeared out of thin air.

"After what happened just now, has your favorability towards me increased? Have you revealed everything?" Turquoise Pool asked with a bit of interest.

Li Changzhou ignored her and said to Little Radish, "Is there any danger?"

"No," Little Radish shook her head.

"Go play with Qian Xia, come find me immediately if there's any danger."

"Okay!"

As she rode the butterfly upwards, Li Qianxia happened to rush down from the slide, plopping into the sea water of the evening with a splash.

"Brother, Qian Xia, Turquoise sister, come and play!"

"Do we need swimsuits? Or is it an open-air gathering?" Turquoise Pool poured herself a glass of wine, scrutinized the ceiling for a while, then lightly sniffed the fragrance before taking a sip.

She was all elegance.

An open-air gathering was an extremely tempting proposition. If it were only Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan, or even if Turquoise Pool was added, Li Changzhou might accept it, but with Li Qianxia around, it was out of the question.

Li Qianxia came in, dripping wet, to change into a swimsuit.

The clothes she and Yang Qinglan bought were all in the 'Honeypot World'—the very purpose of the 'Honeypot World' was to be self-sufficient even when leaving the real world, so having clothes there was normal.

Moreover, with a large lake there, having swimsuits was also perfectly normal.

Turquoise Pool also had a Storage Bag-like item, which contained swimsuits.

The night was deep, the water villa was far from other houses, silent as if only they remained in the world.

In the dim, cozy light of the water villa, the sea water was a soft blue.

Aspiring to be a spicy girl, Li Qianxia's swimsuit was, without a doubt, a white bikini.

Precise collarbones, a slender waist, a flat and toned abdomen, long and powerful legs, her ponytail glistening with water had a certain charm.

As she walked with measured steps, the imagery had an explosive allure.

"How's this?" Li Qianxia asked, hands on her hips, giving a little twist of her shoulders, "Victoria's Secret-level body."

"Mhm, Victoria's Secret-level," Li Changzhou's gaze was on Yang Qinglan.

Yang Qinglan wore a dress-like swimsuit, which for a swimsuit, was the least revealing style, but the exposed fair skin was still several times more than usual.

Her delicate figure was outlined in stark detail.

"Letting you down," Yang Qinglan smiled.

"It looks pretty good," Li Changzhou wanted to say something charming, but by the time the words reached his lips, they sounded dry and awkward.
