Chapter 233 The Team is Growing

The next day, early morning.

In the stone villa, a tall figure lurked near the entrance to the first-floor living room, a crew-cut head peeking cautiously inside.

The stone villa had a simple design; Jiang Xiao wasn't an expert, so he prioritized convenience.

The building faced south; upon entering, a row of three bedrooms lined the left side, while the vast space on the right was planned as the living room and dining area.

Yi Qingchen stood at the living room entrance, a distance from the dining area. Gu Shi'an, eating scrambled eggs, was the first to spot the crew cut.

Gu Shi'an nudged Jiang Xiao beside him with his elbow, signaling toward the entrance.

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiao turned to see the head suddenly retreating as if startled. He chuckled, "You're up! Come eat breakfast; we've got work to do."

Across the table, Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan also turned to look at their "newly baked" teammate.

Xia Yan had just learned during breakfast that Yi Qingchen had advanced to the Star Sea stage last night, and the Xing Chen Wu - Peace Buckle (Star Transformation into Weapon) was incredibly powerful, which made her very happy.

Those qualified to enter Jiang Xiao's Calamity Shadow World were, of course, their own people. As their team grew stronger, Xia Yan's thoughts became more active.

"Qingchen, come eat! Our Big Cloak Organization is gaining two more experts!" Xia Yan waved at Yi Qingchen, her fondness for the gentle, considerate, and slightly shy medical support girl growing daily.

Of course, this fondness was limited to daily life. On the battlefield, Xia Yan found Yi Qingchen sinister, ruthless, and deadly, her personality completely changing as she went for the kill!

This made Xia Yan uneasy, always feeling like the girl would develop schizophrenia one day.

"Oh." Hearing Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan's calls, Yi Qingchen walked in, a little embarrassed to look at Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue had been awake before she fell asleep, but now Han Jiangxue was already up, and she herself was late.

For some reason, Yi Qingchen was always a bit intimidated by Han Jiangxue.

Perhaps... because she was the team's commander? Or because she was the teacher's sister?

Accepting the Huapan milk from Jiang Xiao, Yi Qingchen held the warm cup with both hands, sat down, and swallowed, seeing the abundant dishes.

Having focused solely on breaking through to the Star Sea stage, she had been working toward a single goal day and night. Although Jiang Shou had been sending her different breakfasts, only now did she have the mind to observe and taste the unique breakfasts of the Calamity Shadow World.

"That room will be yours from now on," Jiang Xiao said.

Yi Qingchen blinked, asking, "On the first floor? The third room from the entrance?"

"Yeah, the one you just slept in. Jiang Shou is in the first room, Martha's ward is in the middle, and you're next to Martha." Jiang Xiao picked up a beef pancake and took a bite, golden oil dripping from the corner of his mouth.

His mouth full, he mumbled, "What? Don't want to live on the same floor as me? There are no rooms on the second floor; Han Jiangxue, Xia Yan, and Gu Shi'an each have one, all full. Do you want to go to the third floor? Live with Er Wei?"

The image of Er Wei's face appeared in Yi Qingchen's mind, and she quickly shook her head, the crew-cut head shaking like a rattle-drum.

Han Jiangxue frowned at Jiang Xiao, pulled out a napkin, and reached out to wipe his mouth.

"Traitor!" Xia Yan glared at Jiang Xiao, squeezing the word through her teeth.

Jiang Xiao ignored Xia Yan, saying, "I'll take Yi Qingchen and Gu Shi'an to the bottom of the North Atlantic later; they don't have the ability to survive in the deep sea yet."

He looked at Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue, saying, "You two should contribute your Soul Devouring Souls; lend them to them."

Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan nodded immediately, without any objections.

Xia Yan also "humphed" and said, "Absolutely no problem, you two quickly absorb the Soul Devouring Souls, and strengthen our Big Cloak Organization!"

Jiang Xiao was troubled; Xia Yan seemed obsessed with the name "Big Cloak," couldn't she call it "Black Cloak Organization"? Wasn't that cooler than Big Cloak?

He really didn't know what she was thinking in that little head of hers.

…

After finishing their meal, Jiang Xiao, wearing the Soul Devouring Garment, repeatedly reminded the three of the clothes they were wearing. As the team was about to enter the deep sea, he took Yi Qingchen and Gu Shi'an and teleported away, heading straight to the bottom of the North Atlantic.

The same area, the same blooming other-dimensional space, this was simply Jiang Xiao's exclusive resource refresh point!

How many team members' Soul Devouring Souls had been produced here? This Soul Devouring Domain other-dimensional space had indeed contributed a lot to the "Big Cloak" organization.

"Buzz..." As soon as the trio entered the Soul Devouring Domain, Jiang Xiao summoned the Buzzing Whale.

The appearance of the Buzzing Whale was a combination of Black and White Candle Flame + Buzzing Whale, the combined "Black and White Candle Whale." Its two huge eyes burned with white flames, illuminating the dark Soul Devouring Domain like searchlights.

The Buzzing Whale knew what Jiang Xiao wanted, and with another whale song, it led Yi Qingchen and Gu Shi'an, cloaked, into the Soul Devouring Domain.

The Buzzing Whale was already familiar with the area, knowing the location of the Sacred Ruins in the Soul Devouring Domain, the real "monster spawn point," with a higher probability of producing cubs.

Staying there for a week or two would be enough to complete the task.

Jiang Xiao, like an old father, watched the backs of the two as they followed the whale, sighing softly in his heart. He floated out of the spatial door, and then teleported back to Yizhou City, the headquarters of the Tail Feather Brigade.

Just as he returned to Er Wei's office, standing in front of her desk, he heard heavy breathing behind him.

Startled, Jiang Xiao quickly turned around and saw Er Wei at the office door, holding onto the simple pull-up bar hanging from the ceiling with one hand, the other behind her back, doing pull-ups.

Most families would hang the simple pull-up bar above the door frame, but Er Wei had to hang it from the ceiling...

Oh my god~

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but secretly click his tongue. She was wearing a sports vest, so the streamlined muscle lines of her upper body were particularly eye-catching.

Er Wei obviously sensed Jiang Xiao's arrival, but she didn't stop, continuing to train at a constant speed and frequency.

Even the low ponytail tied behind her back swung with roughly the same amplitude!

So... don't look at this big cat sweating profusely, but she was as steady as an old dog.

Alas... being a colonel was not easy!

Forcibly kept in the office, not allowed to leave the house.

Look!

What had this done to the child?

Jiang Xiao carefully said, "Brigade Commander Luan, have you arranged the Void Other-dimensional Space for me?"

He really didn't dare to be presumptuous, after all, he and his team were going out to fight again, and the poor Brigade Commander Luan was still stuck at home, venting her vigorous energy on the pull-up bar.

"Yeah," Er Wei casually responded, "You can teleport there, everything is arranged."

As soon as she finished speaking, Er Wei added, "Teleport to the gate of the Guard Army base, not to the entrance of the spatial door."

After all, it was the Void Other-dimensional Space, so the attitude had to be more serious.

Er Wei had omitted the middle process, saving a lot of time by not needing a car to pick them up and go to Tianhu. Jiang Xiao certainly wouldn't ask for anything more.

Jiang Xiao looked at Er Wei doing one-handed pull-ups, and couldn't help but secretly admire her.

The lines of the human body could really be beautiful to this extent, just like a meticulously crafted streamlined supercar.

She wasn't a "muscle barbie," her training had nothing to do with bodybuilding, there were no bulging muscles, but pure training from a practical point of view. That inverted triangle was really pleasing to the eye.

When will I have such body lines...

Er Wei stopped slightly and said, "Anything else?"

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, "Why don't you cultivate a successor? If this continues, I'm afraid you'll be driven crazy."

Hearing this, Er Wei released her hand and landed on the ground, turning to look, seeming very interested in the suggestion.

Jiang Xiao shrugged and said, "Northwest King Li Yixu can act as your deputy, and Heavenly Dog Zhang Wenqing can be Li Yixu's advisor. If Heavenly Dog were qualified enough, with Heavenly Dog's ability, he could directly replace your position."

Er Wei shook her head and said, "He's too stable, in the current state of the world, we need to be more aggressive."

"Oh, you think about it, I'll go first. By the way, secretly telling you, this time I'm going to the Void not only to collect star beads, I found that Star quality star techniques seem to have the possibility of further improvement." After Jiang Xiao finished speaking, he opened the Calamity Shadow World door and walked in.

Er Wei was stunned, watching Jiang Xiao disappear at the door, before she came back to her senses.

Above Star quality, there was an even higher level of quality!?

Jiang Xiao's Star quality star techniques were already incredibly powerful! If they could be improved again, how terrifying would that be!?

Er Wei wanted to ask more, but Jiang Xiao had already left. Helpless, she could only stand there, waiting for Jiang Xiao to come out.

Er Wei was not an impatient person, as a Night Watcher, "patience" was her basic quality, but Er Wei never thought that she, who could patiently guard in the frozen snow, would find these short ten seconds so long.

Finally, Jiang Xiao walked out of the Calamity Shadow World door with Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan.

Jiang Xiao greeted Er Wei and said, "Then I'll go first."

"Attention!" Er Wei suddenly shouted.

Not only was Jiang Xiao startled, but the Seven Tails and Eight Tails behind him were also startled. The trio stood up straight as if by reflex, chest out, head up, looking forward, no one dared to speak.

Er Wei asked with a blank face, "Above the stars, there is."

Jiang Xiao quietly, dared not answer.

Er Wei: "Answer."

Jiang Xiao: "Yes!"

Er Wei: "What is it?"

Jiang Xiao: "This time I'm going to experiment, try to touch the ceiling.

By the way, Brigade Commander Er, lend me the Hidden Dragon, I plan to pour Diamond quality Void Calamity Shadows, I need dragon cannon support."

Er Wei thought for a while, stretched out a hand, and the Hidden Dragon, about 1.2 meters long, quietly appeared. If its body wasn't invisible, perhaps people could more intuitively see its length, which seemed to have grown a little compared to three days ago.

Obviously, it was in the development stage.

Er Wei instructed, "Platinum Void Calamity Shadows have terrible defense power, which can shatter your Flower Blades.

Diamond Void Calamity Shadows will have a second physical fitness surge bonus, you can try once, if it doesn't work, don't resist. Immediately escape and change the battle plan."

"Yes!"

"Yes!" the trio responded loudly.

The Hidden Dragon saw Jiang Xiao's appearance and immediately hissed excitedly. It quickly wrapped itself around Jiang Xiao's body, resting its dragon head on Jiang Xiao's shoulder.

Great! Dad is going to take me to trick people again!

So happy~

Since the Arrow Mountain crisis, Jiang Xiao and the Hidden Dragon had formed a deep friendship, after all, this human and dragon were considered to be birds of a feather.

And in the continuous battles, Jiang Xiao also had a flash of inspiration, playing a hand of operations.

Han Jiangxue can be the mother of the Star Dragon, why can't I be the father of the Hidden Dragon?

While the child was young and didn't understand, Jiang Xiao quickly established the relationship between the human and the dragon in the previous battles.

Seeing the Hidden Dragon's close appearance to him at this time, Jiang Xiao secretly nodded in his heart.

I? What a genius!!!
