<strong><b>Chapter 44</b></strong><strong><b></b></strong><strong><b>Breakthrough</b></strong>


    After officer Wang dropped Qin Feng and Chuchu off at their residence, he left.


    Now that Wang knew Qin Feng had a close rtionship with the regimentmander, he naturally wouldn’t assign Chuchu any further tasks.


    This was precisely the oue Qin Feng desired.


    Liu Yan’s residence was spacious, fully equipped with all sorts of amenities. There were bedrooms, bathrooms, a living room, kitchen, training room, and a gym—everything one could need.


    At this moment, in the gym, Chuchu was looking at the 3D simtedbat pod with excitement.


    “Wow! Brother, this 3Dbat pod is so cool!”


    Chuchu was examining it eagerly, unable to tear herself away. She had recently be more and more fascinated withbat.


    “If you like it, go ahead and y!” Qin Feng petted her head dotingly. “In a few days, I’ll buy you one!”


    “Hehe! Thank you, brother! I’ll try this one out first!”


    Unable to wait, Chuchu quickly climbed into thebat pod.


    Qin Feng chuckled and headed towards the training room. He needed to seize the time to break through to Elementalist.


    Lin Xuyang’s death wouldn’t stay hidden for long. The Lin family would soon trace it back to Chuchu.


    So, he had to break through to Elementalist as quickly as possible and promote Chuchu to a full citizen.


    He had considered leaving with Chuchu right after killing Lin Xuyang.


    However, that would make Chuchu guilty of viting military regtions.


    He was a citizen, free to leave whenever he wanted. But Chuchu was still a refugee and didn’t have that right. Leaving rashly would make them enemies of the government, which would give the Lin family a chance to go after them.


    A momentter, Qin Feng entered the training chamber, closed the alloy door, and began his closed-door cultivation.


    During the session, the powers of the ice, wind, fire, and lightning elements simultaneously surged into his body, quickly condensing the divine seals of all four elements…


    Before he knew it, it was already evening.


    The patrol teams were returning one by one.


    The jungle at night was the most dangerous.


    Many ferocious beasts and monsters roamed the wilderness after dark, so patrol members had to return to the defense zone before nightfall.


    At this moment, in the regimentmander’s office, Liu Yan had her long legs crossed as she looked at a report.


    “Qin Feng, 17 years old, a refugee? Ha! The refugee department really isn’t efficient.”


    Liu Yan sighed in exasperation and casually set the report aside.


    Just earlier, the deputy had reported that Qin Feng was actually a Level Four citizen, not a refugee.


    It seemed that the refugee department hadn’t updated its records in time.


    This kind of thing had happened many times before, so she wasn’t surprised.


    “A 17-year-old Level Four citizen? Could it be that this guy has already reached the peak of the Body Strengthening Stage?”


    Liu Yan lightly bit the tip of her pen, the gleam in her eyes growing brighter.


    She had already noticed that Qin Feng was a Body Strengthening Stage expert but couldn’t gauge his exact level.


    Now, upon closer thought, Qin Feng was almost certainly at the pinnacle of Body Strengthening.


    <em><i>My goodness!</i></em>


    <em><i>Seventeen years old and at the peak of the Body Strengthening Stage!</i></em>


    <em><i>His talent for cultivation is definitely at the genius level!</i></em>


    <em><i>A genius!</i></em>


    In all of Yunyang Base City, there was only one other like that—Yunyang’s city lord, renowned throughout the region.


    The City Lord of Yunyang was the youngest city lord in the Southern Alliance and one of the most promising.


    His cultivation talent was among the top across the entire alliance.


    Although Yunyang City was only a medium-sized base city, the fame of its lord was so great that it almost rivaled the lords of therger base cities.


    <em><i>Could it be that I’ve stumbled upon another remarkable genius by ident?</i></em>


    Liu Yan felt excited.


    <em><i>A genius like him is worth befriending.</i></em>


    <em><i>Not to mention, this genius also happened to be incredibly good-looking—just my type!</i></em>


    Liu Yan licked her rosy lips with her pink tongue.


    <strong><em><b><i>Ring, ring, ring!</i></b></em></strong>


    The phone on her desk rang.


    Liu Yan pressed the speaker button.


    “Regimentmander, the City Lord is calling! Should I patch him through to you?”


    “Put him through!”


    “Yes, ma’am!”


    A few secondster, a man’s voice came from the other end of the line.


    It was the City Lord of Yunyang—Shangguan Yunyang.


    “Commander Liu, not too busytely, are you?” Shangguan Yunyang’s tone was polite.


    “Lord City Master, did my old man ask you to call?” Liu Yan’s tone was tinged with impatience.


    “Ah… Miss Liu, Elder Liu is just worried about you. He asked when you’re nning to return,” Shangguan Yunyang replied, sounding a bit helpless.


    Elder Liu was an elder of the Southern Alliance and also his superior. He had no choice but to listen.


    “I’m currently gaining experience in the field. It’ll be a while before I return,” Liu Yan casually brushed him off.


    “Elder Liu said that if you don’t return soon, he’ll send someone to drag you back!”


    “That old man… he’s so annoying! Got it!”


    After hanging up, Liu Yan crossed her legs and drummed her fingers lightly on the desk, pondering how to deal with her old man.


    Without a doubt, her father was pressuring her to go home for an arranged marriage.


    Her dad had been going on about how she was almost bing a “leftover woman” and was always in a panic over it.


    But she didn’t like any of the second-generation government officials her dad introduced.


    They were all useless but full of arrogance.


    The whole situation had caused a lot of friction between her and her father.


    To avoid his nagging, she left the alliance headquarters and came to this remote ce, Yunyang City, where she took up the post of a small districtmander.


    Still, she enjoyed the job and had made a name for herself.


    She had no desire to go back now.


    But her father was getting anxious and had stopped sending her allowance.


    She had no choice but to earn her own money to buy Elemental Equipments and cultivation resources.


    Thinking about this made Liu Yan feel irritable.


    Having a father obsessed with marrying off his daughter was truly a headache.


    Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.


    “Reporting to themander! Officer Xiao Yan reporting!”


    “Come in!”


    <strong><em><b><i>Creak!</i></b></em></strong>


    The door opened, and Deputy Officer Xiao Yan entered, carrying arge shopping bag.


    “Commander, mission aplished!”


    Xiao Yan respectfully ced the shopping bag on the desk.


    “Why did it take you so long?”


    Xiao Yan smiled wryly. “Commander, your figure is too stunning. I had to visit more than ten shops to find suitable outfits. My legs are about to give out!”n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Liu Yan nced through the bag and saw three sets of school uniforms and one maid outfit.


    She nodded in satisfaction. “Well done! You can go back to your duties.”


    “Yes, Commander!”


    After Xiao Yan left, Liu Yan gazed at the outfits, her eyes glimmering with an idea.


    <em><i>If I can win Qin Feng over and take him back to show my father, he’d bepletely shocked.</i></em>


    <em><i>A genius-level young man!</i></em>


    Her father had always dreamed of such a son-inw.


    If that happened, he would stop forcing her into blind dates.


    With that thought, a mischievous smile appeared on Liu Yan’s lips.


    It looked like she might have to make a few sacrifices tonight…
