The days when I wanted to be a human being

"How many times have I told you to use your job title when you're working?"

"Forget it, what's that on your head?" Wei Yanwu saw the bandage on Chen's head and asked with concern.

Chen touched his head, which was still aching. "I was attacked by the Integration Movement when I was returning to Longmen. It's nothing serious, Commander Wei."

"Yeah, I'm glad you're okay." Wei Yanwu nodded and turned to look at Zhou Ling, "Zhiyin should be full too. If there's nothing else, let's stop here today."

"Madam, please arrange a temporary residence for Zhiyin and the other two." Wei Yanwu did not give them time to react and quickly made arrangements. "The Guards Bureau was damaged today and may not be suitable for living. You should stay here for the time being. Let's go back together after Rhodes Island helps to deal with Longmen's affairs."

Wei Yanwu did not mention the matter of retaining Zhou Ling again. He felt that since this matter encountered obstacles again and again, it could only be that they were not destined to be together, so he did not dwell on it anymore. Now he wanted to discuss with Chen how to deal with the latent integration movement in Longmen.

Although a lot of Integration Movement members had been dealt with on the streets this evening, some of them still fled to the downtown area to lurk. He needed to eliminate these dangerous factors as soon as possible, otherwise he was afraid that a thunderbolt would strike at any time.

After listening to this, Zhou Ling stood up and said, "Thank you very much for Uncle Wei...'s hospitality today. I'll be leaving first." Then he walked towards Herag.

"Well, remember to come back to Longmen when you have time." When Wei Yanwu heard Zhou Ling calling him uncle, a smile appeared on his serious face, which made him unable to help but take another puff of his cigarette.

"Everyone, please follow me." The waiter at the side led Zhou Ling and others out of the room.

……

The three were taken to a room in the hotel.

In front of the door, Madam Wen Yue was saying goodbye to Zhou Ling.

"Xiao Zhiyin, please come back to Longmen to see your sister more often in the future, otherwise your sister will miss you very much." Wen Yue looked at the young Zhou Ling with pity. The girl in front of her had power far beyond most people at such a young age. No one knew what she had gone through to get to where she is today.

"Madam... um, no, sister, I will come back to see you." Zhou Ling really couldn't stand Wen Yue's eyes, so she could only say perfunctorily. She knew that when her survival time was up, she would leave this world. As for whether she would come to this world or Longmen in the future, it would be an unknown.

"You..." Wen Yue bent down and gently pinched Zhou Ling's cheek.

Wen Yue could tell Zhou Ling was being perfunctory, but she didn't say anything more. After all, separation is for a better reunion, even if the time is unknown, at least there is something to look forward to, right?

"Well, everyone, have a good rest. I'll take my leave first." After Wen Yue finished speaking, she stood up and said to Herag and the others.

"Goodbye, ma'am."

……

After watching Wen Yue leave, the three of them entered their new residence.

It's not much different from the Guards' Guesthouse, except that it has more complete facilities.

"If there's nothing else, just take a rest. I think the matter at Longmen will be dealt with soon, and then we can go back to Rhodes Island."

Ace said, and looked at Zhou Ling who was lying on the sofa.

Zhou Ling's lively eyes looked at Ace in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Shouldn't you be in the bathroom taking a shower now?"

"No, I just finished eating and need to take a rest." Although Zhou Ling really wanted to take a shower right now, after all, she had just experienced a big battle and her body felt a little unwell, but she still held back. She now had one thing she needed to confirm.

Zhou Ling was seen speaking while using his life energy to condense a cup in his hand and activated the skill of drinking more hot water. As expected, a full cup of warm water appeared in the cup.

She handed the cup to Ace and said with a smile, "Try it and see what it tastes like."

Ace looked at the water in the cup with horror. He had not forgotten what happened on the street before. "Are you kidding me? Are you too full?"

"Hey, it's okay. This is different from the one on the street before. You can try it. It's delicious." Zhou Ling said in a seductive tone and handed the cup closer to Ace.

Ace's eyes widened and he leaned back repeatedly, "You...you...don't go too far! I'm really getting angry."

Just as Ace dodged the cup, the cup was taken away by a slender hand.

It turned out that Herag couldn't bear it and took the cup.

He was holding a green cup filled with water in front of him and looking at it carefully. He thought that this cup was condensed by Zhou Ling's Source Stone technique and should be inseparable from her hand, or it should fall apart after leaving her hand. Unexpectedly, it still maintained the shape of a cup.

Herag brought the cup to his nose, fanned it and sniffed it carefully, only to find that there was no smell.

Just as he was about to take it to his mouth to drink, Ace stopped him, "Wait...wait, Lao He, you are not really going to drink it, what are you going to do next, you are not going to take it out on me, are you?"

Ace tightened his clothes around himself in fear.

"Humph! Brother Ace, didn't you see that Madam Wen Yue was fine? She drank it too."

"Haha, who knows... Don't talk about others behind their backs. Lao He, if you really drink, I will kick you out, and then Longmen will have another legend... story."

Ace looked on in shock as Hellagur took a sip.

"You are awesome. Let's see what you old man will do later." After all, he was just talking and he would not really kick Hellagur out. But at the same time, he was a little worried because Hellagur was so old.

"It tastes quite good. Do you want to try it?" Herag smacked his lips and handed the glass of water to Ace.

"Are you... okay..."

Herag waited for a moment, and didn't feel any discomfort in his body. He looked at Ace and said, "No problem, my body doesn't have any strange reactions."

"Okay, let me try." Ace took the less than half glass of water with an attitude of risking his life to keep company with a gentleman.

Zhou Ling looked at Ace and did the same as Hellagur. He first looked at it carefully, then smelled it, and then took a small sip.

After putting down the cup, Ace frowned, then relaxed, and drank all the water in the cup in one breath under Hellagur's reluctant gaze. Then the green cup was handed back to Zhou Ling.

"How is it? It tastes good, right? What does it taste like?"

"It tastes a bit like strong liquor, and a little sweet afterwards." Herag said the taste he tasted without hesitation.

Ace looked at Hellagur in confusion, because the taste Hellagur described was different from what he drank. Although the taste he drank was strong like alcohol and a little sweet, the difference was that he had a little more bitterness. Little did he know that according to the description of the skill, the taste he drank was a mixture of the two people's tastes.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

“There’s still a little bitterness in what I drink.”

"Bitter? No, it tastes very sweet to me, not bitter at all." Herag wondered if he drank it in a hurry and didn't notice the bitter taste that Ace mentioned.

So Helag signaled Zhou Ling to have another drink.

He took the refilled cup of water from Zhou Ling, took a sip, and gave the cup of water to Ace.

The wine he drank this time tasted the same as the last time.

After Ace took it, he did not drink it all at once this time. Instead, he took a sip, looked at Hellagur in confusion, then looked at Zhou Ling, and found that Zhou Ling was reaching out to take back the remaining water, so he stopped Zhou Ling's hand from taking back the cup.

Ace found the problem this time. The taste of the drink he had this time was the same as the last time, the taste of Hellagur's drink plus bitterness, but it was different from what Hellagur said. Ace looked at the cup in his hand with wide eyes.

He then handed the cup of water to Hellagur.

"Drink and watch."
