"This is Lei Jiang, this is Gang Shou, and this is Ah Qing."

Zhao Yan casually introduced her companions by their code names.

The man who cultivates the thunder technique is Lei Jiang, the one with metallic palms is Gang Shou, and Ah Qing is the thin woman with a sword.

"Lei Jiang, Gang Shou, Ah Qing, this is my friend, Wang Tong, who previously explored the girls' school with me."

Wang Tong also did an introduction, "Zhao Yan, this is my friend, Mu…"

Xiao Mu interrupted Wang Tong, "I'm Mu Huaqing."

Mu is the homonym of his character '沐', and Huaqing is Xiao Mu's online name, the reason being his character '沐' when taken apart illustrates water and wood.

"Cough, cough!"

The interrupted Wang Tong almost choked on his saliva, hastily covering it up with a cough. He was unclear why Xiao Mu wanted to hide his identity as Mr. Mu but didn't expose him.

He continued the introduction, "Old Mu, this beautiful lady is Zhao Yan…"

Immediately followed by a supplement, "Zhao Yan is the executive vice president of Jimei Venture Capital, a billionaire, and she is not an average person."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but look at Zhao Yan a few more times.

Jimei Venture Capital is a global enterprise. Being the executive vice president of such a large company would clearly mean you're not an average person.

However, Xiao Mu's immediate reaction was, like most people, couldn't help but wonder whether Zhao Yan achieved her position as vice president in this multinational corporation because of some connections within the company.

After all, Zhao Yan looked to be in her twenties, very young indeed.

"Hmph!"

Zhao Yan huffed, her face growing serious as she indignantly declared, "I reached this position due to my own abilities."

Clearly, she guessed Xiao Mu's mindset or perhaps she frequently encounters similar questions. Either way, Zhao Yan spoke immediately to express her displeasure.

"That statement isn't false,"

Wang Tong immediately continued the conversation, adding, "Old Mu, have you heard of MK shared bikes?"

Xiao Mu nodded his acknowledgment.

MK shared bikes are the first shared bikes in the country and are currently the most successful. Three years ago, it already went public and was one of the top stocks of the year. Currently, their operations have expanded overseas.

Wang Tong added, "What you don't know is that the enormous potential of the shared bike market was discovered by Zhao Yan's insightful vision. It was thanks to her that Jimei Venture Capital invested in MK shared bikes. With this funding, MK shared bikes successfully launched."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu saw Zhao Yan in a new light.

This was a truly powerful woman.

Zhao Yan's expression remained coldly beautiful, and Wang Tong's words did nothing to increase her self-confidence. Being able to achieve all of this, it seemed like everyday business to her.

"Wang Tong, you're also here to kill a vampire, right? Aren't you a bit underpowered coming with just two people? Do you want to join us?"

After the introductions, Zhao Yan invited Wang Tong.

Something stirred in Xiao Mu's heart. The Blue Blood Ghost was too strong. Cooperation would indeed be a viable option since they were after Energy Points.

"I don't need any help! I can kill a normal vampire on my own!"

Unexpectedly, before Wang Tong could answer, Lei Jiang, who was with Zhao Yan, interrupted. He crossed his arms and exuded arrogance. He clearly did not see Xiao Mu and Wang Tong as equals.

He looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Furthermore, Zhao Yan, the only reason I came here is for you. After killing the vampire, the Energy Crystal will also be given to you."

This Lei Jiang is too arrogant, Xiao Mu couldn't help but silently shake his head.

If it was the lowest-level Blood Demon - a Green Blood Ghost, Lei Jiang, with the strength of the Bone Forger Realm and the cultivation technique of thunder attribute martial arts, could kill the Blood Demon with some effort.

But could a Blue Blood Demon be killed that easily?

Xiao Mu himself had no confidence at all.

King Qingshan was ranked first in the Local Hero Ranking by Bai Xiaosheng, only because he had killed a half-crippled Blue Blood Demon.

No matter how strong Lei Jiang is, could he be stronger than King Qingshan?

Wang Tong wanted to retort, but after glancing at Xiao Mu, he didn't say anything in the end. Xiao Mu looked calm, and he felt that Xiao Mu must have another plan.

The thin and slender Ah Qing picked up the conversation and said to Zhao Yan, "Zhao Yan, you can't disappoint my brother's hard work."

While speaking, her gaze swept over Xiao Mu and Wang Tong. With a disdainful smirk, she implied, "Our team does not need people who just reap the benefits. Besides, if certain people could kill the Blood Demon, they wouldn't have run away before."

Wang Tong retorted unhappily, "Ah Qing, is your name Ah Qing? Isn't your speech too harsh? Who's the one reaping benefits? If you can kill the Blood Demon, how can you know that we can't?"

Ah Qing, sharp-witted, didn't admit defeat at all. "If you have the power to kill the Blood Demon, then why don't you go kill it? Why are you here with us?"

Wang Tong countered, "Did we say we want to go with you?"

Zhao Yan hastily tried to make peace, "Ah Qing, Wang Tong, don't argue. I suggested this idea. If you don't want to cooperate, then let's just forget what I said."

"Zhao Yan, let's go. If we don't go and find the Blood Demons, they might be found by others first. Besides, ordinary people are not qualified to be my, Lei Jiang's, helpers."

Lei Jiang said proudly.

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Mu found it amusing, wondering if he could still say that if he knew the Blood Demon had evolved into a Blue Blood Demon.

After Lei Jiang finished speaking, he instantly draped his wide hand, like a paddle, over Zhao Yan's shoulder, intending to walk into the Girls' School.

Despite standing at over 170cm, Zhao Yan, who appeared even taller, still looked petite compared to the hulking Lei Jiang who was over two meters tall.

"Lei Jiang, please don't do this."

Zhao Yan evaded him with a light laugh, her expression full of rejection, obviously not comfortable with Lei Jiang's intimate actions.

Lei Jiang's face darkened, "Zhao Yan, are you still despising me?"

Zhao Yan forced a smile and quickly explained, "Lei Jiang, don't misunderstand, it's not what you think."

However, Ah Qing's face turned dark. She stared at Zhao Yan and accused, "Zhao Yan, what do you mean? What part of my brother isn't good enough for you?"

"In the past, you were the vice president of Jimei Venture Capital, and my brother was just a small security guard, we couldn't say anything if you said he wasn't good enough for you."

"But now, my brother has cultivated the Zhengyi Thunder Technique and reached the Bone Forger Realm. Even if he isn't as good as King Qingshan or the Red Thread Woman, he's still among the top fighters in the world. Do you still think my brother isn't good enough for you?"

"Let me tell you, if it wasn't for my brother's affection for you, with your strength, I, Ah Qing, wouldn't give you a second look. Do you really think that with my brother's strength, he can't find a better woman than you?"

"My brother even looking at you is a show of respect for you!"

Ah Qing's words became harsher and harsher, and she was close to pointing at Zhao Yan's nose and cursing.

"This... Ah Qing, you misunderstood."

Seeing Ah Qing's anger, Zhao Yan hurriedly defended herself.

"Misunderstood? I think you just don't appreciate my brother."

Ah Qing's anger showed no signs of subsiding, but became even more intense. "You said you saw a Blood Demon and asked my brother to help kill it. Without a second word, he brought me and my boyfriend to help you kill the Blood Demon."

"Even the rewards for killing the Blood Demon, my brother said he doesn't want a cent and would rather give it all to you. His intention is so clear, are you still pretending not to understand his feelings?"
