Chapter 1311: Chapter 960, Lilith Calls

Outside the window, the cold wind swirled snowflakes against the glass.

Inside, the air conditioner blew warm air, melting the snowflakes on Li Yahong’s shoulders.

Li Yahong squinted and leaned forward a bit, "Have you been using skincare products recently?"

"Huh?" Wu Heng instinctively touched his face, "I don’t have such things."

But he immediately realized it was because he had absorbed the Elf Race genes yesterday.

They hadn’t seen each other for some time, and at a glance, she noticed the change.

"Your skin looks unbelievably good, and your temperament seems different too." Li Yahong raised an eyebrow, "What? Did staying away from us improve your skin?"

"Natural beauty!" Wu Heng joked with a smile.

"Nonsense!" Li Yahong laughed and scolded, then turned to look at the Skeleton standing silently to the side, "Does it meet the standards you mentioned?"

Li Yahong didn’t quite understand but knew Wu Heng wanted this Skeleton to reach a certain level.

"It does. I’ll keep this Skeleton, and you can arrange for the other one." Wu Heng said, gesturing outside, "Come in."

The second Pope Skeleton walked in, also wearing a long robe, standing straight to the side.

"Follow her when she leaves, and you’ll be assigned a place to upgrade, also listen to her orders." Wu Heng instructed the Skeleton, then looked at Li Yahong again, "The name is Corn Sword Saint No. 2, just call him by his name in the future."

"What kind of name is that?" Li Yahong frowned.

"Corn Sword Saint No. 2, a name given by Xiao Xiao." Wu Heng repeated.

"Uh... it does fit Xiao Xiao’s way of thinking." Li Yahong showed a face of ’I guessed it.’

While the two were talking, Xiao Xiao flew back, happily greeting, "Auntie! When did you arrive?"

Bella remained invisible, with no intention of showing up.

"Just arrived, Xiao Xiao went out to play?" Li Yahong smiled.

"No~! I went to the prison to oversee the Zombies, I have my own work too." Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips.

Li Yahong’s smile deepened, her peripheral vision glanced at Wu Heng, her eyes revealing a look of, ’You’re bullying a child.’

Xiao Xiao’s attention shifted to the former Pope, "Is this the first Pope?"

Li Yahong asked, "Isn’t it called Corn Sword Saint?"

"The name is Corn Sword Saint." Xiao Xiao immediately explained.

Li Yahong didn’t think much of the child’s words, "I think Sword Saint sounds better than Pope."

"Yes, yes~!" Xiao Xiao nodded with a grin.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Yahong glanced at the time on her lock screen, "I have to go, call me if there’s anything."

With that, she wrapped her down jacket tighter and started to walk outside.

With Xiao Xiao, she escorted her to the business car, and Li Yahong continued, "Don’t forget about the New Year event, if you’re giving a speech, I’ll prepare a teleprompter for you."

"I’ll be there on time." Wu Heng waved with a smile.

"Bye-bye~! Bye, Xiao Xiao!" Li Yahong waved to both the person and the spirit.

"Goodbye, Auntie, tell my mom I’ll visit her in a few days."

"Okay!"

The car door closed, and the business car turned around and left.

...

Returning to the monitoring room.

Xiao Xiao circled around the Level 20 Pope, "It leveled up too fast!"

Previously, several Skeletons around Wu Heng leveled up very slowly, including Skeleton Ronin Kerim and Fist Master Kai Xiu.

When they were replaced, they were still at their original level.

Glenda said, "The previous Skeletons were responsible for protecting your uncle, so there was no time for them to upgrade."

"Then bring the Ronin and Fist Master back! "Xiao Xiao spun in a circle, "Let them also go into the Zombie horde to level up."

Wu Heng laughed and said, "Once things calm down in Lundham City, we’ll bring them back."

Continuing, he asked, "Has there been any change in the Zombie levels?"

"No!" Xiao Xiao rubbed her chin, "I suggest feeding the Corpse Core according to a class period."

"How long is a class period for you?"

"40 minutes." Xiao Xiao replied.

"Feeding so often, they’ll all explode." Wu Heng said.

"They’re not human, they can’t explode." Xiao Xiao muttered.

But soon she was attracted by the discussion about the Pope Skeleton by Glenda and Bella, and flew over to join the conversation.

Wu Heng sat in the monitoring room for a while.

Nothing much was happening, so he called for the Ghosts to return to Gold and Silver Island.

...

Coming downstairs.

The maids were chatting in the first-floor hall.

Seeing Wu Heng come down, they called out in unison, ’Master’.

Wu Heng nodded, saying, "Mini, when you have time, go to the association and order some Professional Scrolls, I’ll need them later."

"Master, what professions do you need?"

"Mainly Mechanists, Alchemists, and Investigators." Wu Heng said.

"I’ll tidy up and head to the association to place the order." Mini nodded in response.

Wu Heng smiled, "No rush, go when you have time."

"Okay, Master."

He chatted with the maids in the living room for a while.

Xiao Xiao manipulated a puppet to run downstairs, "Uncle, weren’t we going to check the database?"

"Let’s go!" Wu Heng stood up, and with Xiao Xiao, released the [Teleportation Technique] to head to the office mansion where the database was being built.

Inside the office mansion.

In the dimly lit hall, blue light from dozens of monitors cast onto the skeletons’ pale white frames.

Finger bones tapped on the keyboard, creating a crisp ’click-clack’ sound.

"How’s the data from the Hongwen Alliance coming along?" Wu Heng walked to the master control, asking the working Skeleton.

The responsible Skeleton Investigator raised its skull and pointed to a white speaker in the corner.

Xiao Xiao maneuvered the puppet over, turning her head to say, "It’s Xiao Ai."

"I’m here!" The familiar electronic female voice came through, and the ring of lights on top of the speaker glowed blue.
