Free Web NovelChapter 344: Chapter 266: The Two Little Ones Peeking from the Shadows
After the two individuals involved had left, two Investigators looked at the pool of blood on the ground, along with the signs of a battle nearby, and began to talk.
"According to their description, the Wild Boar Beast that was about to harm them was killed by a Cyan Wind Blade that appeared out of nowhere.
To be able to use a Wind Blade Superpower to kill a Wild Boar Beast—probably a First Rank Middle Stage to High Stage—in just a few seconds... the power of that Wind Blade Superpower is truly impressive."
"Yeah. The person who saved them must be a Cultivator of at least the Second Rank Initial Stage. Since they went out of their way to save those two, why didn’t they show their face?"
"There are plenty of people who do good deeds anonymously these days. Maybe the Cultivator who saved them is just one of those types."
The two Investigators on the scene chatted for a bit before reporting their findings to the local Superpower Administration Bureau.
Afterwards, the Superpower Administration Bureau would dispatch more Investigators to search this gloomy stretch of woods and see if any other Mutant Beasts were hiding within.
As for the missing Mutant Beast corpse, the person responsible had already driven away, and he wasn’t about to volunteer that he’d done it. The local Superpower Administration Bureau would likely never find the answer.

In the evening, tourists began to file out of the bustling aquarium’s exit, having just finished watching the dolphin show.
Summer was the peak tourist season. Even with school starting in a few days, you could still see plenty of families from other cities vacationing in Qiong City.
When Lin Li and Su Yue were watching the dolphin show earlier, they had noticed that many people in the audience were there with their families.
"Lin Li, are you tired?" Su Yue asked, turning to him.
"Not tired. You?" Lin Li asked in return. ’After all, the amount of physical activity today paled in comparison to a full day of hunting Mutant Beasts in the treacherous wilderness.’
"A little tired," Su Yue said. "Let’s get something to eat and then go back to the hotel and rest."
"Okay." Lin Li nodded, then asked Su Yue about the next day’s plans. "So, where are we going tomorrow?"
Su Yue had arranged the entire trip’s itinerary, and Lin Li had already asked her for the specifics of their five-day plan.
But Su Yue refused to lay out the whole plan, insisting on revealing the next day’s activities only when the current day was over. She said it made for constant surprises.
"Tomorrow, we’re taking a boat out to sea for some sightseeing and diving, to experience the natural beauty of the ocean depths.
I didn’t get to do this last time I came to Qiong City with my parents; it’s a new tour that just started in the last six months... What do you think? Surprise!" Su Yue said with a wide smile.
"..."
When Lin Li heard that Su Yue’s plan for the next day was to go diving, he was left speechless. An exasperated look appeared on his face. "Su Yue, are you kidding me?"
Su Yue said with a completely straight face, "I’m not kidding!"
Lin Li couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her and said irritably,
"Diving isn’t something just anyone can do. It’s not as simple as knowing how to swim, you know. I at least have that much common sense.
If people without any training just go diving in the ocean, it’s incredibly easy to have an accident and end up buried at sea."
Su Yue giggled, her lips curling into a smile. "To be honest, even though I’m a pretty good swimmer, I’ve never had any dive training either. But you don’t have to worry. I’ve already taken all of that into consideration."
"Hm?" Hearing her say that, Lin Li gave her a puzzled look.
"The person who runs the diving tour we’re going on tomorrow is a Cultivator who’s awakened a Superpower."
"The Superpower he awakened allows ordinary people to safely dive to the ocean floor and experience the underwater scenery," Su Yue explained.
It wasn’t uncommon in their world for a Cultivator to open a business and use their awakened Superpower to earn a living.
It was just like that barbershop Lin Li had gone to before, where the flamboyant stylist had used his own awakened Superpower while cutting his hair.
"Oh, so that’s how it is!" Lin Li finally understood, and some of his worries subsided for the moment.
"You can rest completely assured about the dive tomorrow! The only reason I put it on our Qiong City itinerary is because I did my research very carefully.
Lots of people have done this tour, and the reviews they left online are all excellent..." Su Yue added with a smile.
Then, she raised her hand and pointed to a restaurant across the street. "I’m starving. Let’s hurry and cross the street to get some dinner at that restaurant!"
RUMBLE...
At the mention of dinner, Lin Li’s stomach immediately growled in response. He was getting a bit hungry, too.
With that, he stopped thinking about the next day’s diving tour.
The two of them crossed the road, heading toward a very lively restaurant on the opposite side. freёwebnoѵel.com

The sun was setting over Rongcheng. The streetlights had yet to switch on, and the fiery sunset painted the entire city in a gorgeous splash of color.
Two figures, one large and one small, walked down a straight road, the sunset at the horizon stretching their shadows long behind them.
Zhou Tongtong, her hair in a small pigtail, turned to look at the mother holding her little hand and asked, "Mommy, isn’t the backpack I picked out myself today really pretty?"
