Chapter 344: Chapter 342 Parting Ways

Wen Wen realized he couldn’t get through to Xun Qing, so he thought of cozying up to Qiao Feiya, who also worked at the headquarters and might have a way to help.

But unexpectedly, the moment Wen Wen walked over, Qiao Feiya’s face flushed with a trace of anger, and she gave Wen Wen a somewhat dissatisfied glare before leaving with Xun Qing, leaving Wen Wen utterly confused.

He was sure Qiao Feiya hadn’t heard his conversation with Xun Qing from before.

Then, taking another look at Sifumo and Queen Zongzi lying on the ground next to him, he finally realized what had happened.

It turned out that Qiao Feiya, upon hearing that the two strongest bosses here were Disaster Upper Order monsters and that one had been captured alive, wanted to take a look.

What she saw was the pathetic, helpless Ice Queen, wearing only banana leaves to cover her body. Knowing that Wen Wen was the culprit behind the Ice Queen’s current state, Qiao Feiya found him extremely displeasing to the eye.

Qiao Feiya, a woman of great strength, always had a great deal of sympathy for other females.

Wen Wen sighed. This was not quite the turn of events he’d anticipated.

After the major issues were resolved, Fairy Tale Town entered into a lengthy closing phase.

Every ordinary person who had been granted Superpower by Song Ling was taken away by the Association and placed aboard a transport.

Wen Wen wasn’t clear where they would be sent, it seemed to be a secret, but presumably, a large part of them would undergo training to serve as the Association’s fighting force, while others were for observation and experiments.

As for the monsters that had taken human form, they would be sent to the Hanji Continent to be supervised by the Hunter Association.

Hanji Continent is a vast continent, completely covered in snow and ice, located at the southernmost tip of the Federation. It’s sparsely populated, hence no major regions were established there.

The Hunters Association has complete control over it and there is a special, immense city, an exclusive settlement area, for those beings ill-suited for modern society.

For example, monsters that are not malevolent but are unsightly, or superpower users who have violated Association rules but whose crimes are not punishable by death, or ordinary humans who pose significant danger to society.

Over the years, the special settlement has grown astoundingly large and developed a somewhat unique order, allowing monsters to live normally among people so long as they don’t cause trouble.

Well-behaved monsters can earn the privilege of traveling to the human world, but few are willing to leave since life there is often more comfortable than the hustle and bustle of human society.

As two special existences in the Fairy Tale Town event, Li Dazhuang and Tao Wen attracted a lot of attention.

Li Dazhuang, after demonstrating his superpower, was taken away by Xun Qing to be trained at headquarters, and then a decision on his placement would be made. As a superpower user with special abilities, he will be valued wherever he is, and he is expected to fare well in the Hunters Association.

As for Tao Wen, hiding in the Sanctuary, he wasn’t affected by the incident. He gained some non-human characteristics, but could no longer be brainwashed.

So in the end, after completing his studies, Tao Wen joined the Hunters Association as a logistical Supporter.

As a reserve Supporter still in education, Tao Wen’s future training might greatly diverge from that of his normal peers.

...

In a hotel in Songtao City, Wen Wen, Jiao Xinlei, and Sifumo, the three of them, ordered a table full of drinks and dishes, chatting while drinking.

It’s a tradition among Rangers to share a drink and say goodbye before parting after completing a mission together, a custom that fosters a friendly atmosphere within the Ranger circles.

Many older Rangers have connections with almost all other Rangers, able to call upon a vast number of them for assistance when needed.

Having had a fairly pleasant time together later on, Wen Wen and Sifumo followed this tradition, and Jiao Xinlei, as Wen Wen’s acquaintance and Sifumo’s rescuer during the mission, also joined the gathering.

Tomorrow, the main force of the Hunters Association will depart from Songtao City, and Sifumo will return to the headquarters with them.

Sifumo always avoids traveling alone because he gets lost.

Jiao Xinlei will also return to Furong River City with Tao Wen the next day.

As for Wen Wen himself, he hasn’t taken on any new tasks, as he’s decided to take advantage of the break between missions to visit home.

That home he hadn’t been to in years, his parents’ graves, which he also hadn’t visited in a long time; since he left the city, this was the first time he felt the urge to go back and take a look.

The entire night passed amidst the trio’s jovial chatter, while the Three Cubs continued to scrounge and drink under the table.

Actually, as Wen Wen gradually became wealthier, the Three Cubs were no longer the pitiful creature they once were, but they still enjoyed living like this.

Wen Wen never took the Three Cubs on missions because the creature was just too weak, but during meals, it always showed up, serving mainly as Wen Wen’s driver.

After the meal and farewells, Wen Wen walked toward his car. While walking, the smell of alcohol quickly dissipated from his body, leaving no trace.

For Wen Wen, getting drunk with others was enjoyable, but when he was alone, alcohol had no purpose.

After closing the car window, Wen Wen entered the Sanctuary. He needed to take a good inventory of the gains from this mission; in all his Demon Hunting operations, this one had been quite fruitful.

Not to mention the supplies that would feed the monsters for a while, Wen Wen alone captured three monsters.

Little Red Riding Hood of Disaster Level, Black Blood Princess who once had Disaster Intermediate Sequence strength but now only had Disaster Level capability, and the Poker General, similarly with only Disaster Level strength now.

The quality of the Black Blood Princess and Poker General were quite good since they had once possessed Disaster Level strength.

Although the Black Blood Princess was unconscious, Wen Wen could still use her Qi to make his blood exhibit withering properties, but this was only possible when using her physique.

Therefore, Wen Wen valued her other ability more—’Liquid Shaping’!

This ability allowed the Black Blood Princess to control her blood; with it, Wen Wen could shape water into the form of a longsword with the actual hardness and sharpness of a real sword!

This was a very versatile ability, providing great convenience to Wen Wen, almost like a super-enhanced version of the Water Ghost’s Water Control Ability.

Compared to Water Control Ability, this one could also manipulate other liquids; the only downside might be that the volume of water controlled was not as much as the Water Ghost’s ability.
