CHAPTER 478: CHAPTER 225 SCREAM IN THE BATHROOM!_2

He wouldn’t have been able to catch up even if he’d tried.

It had all happened too suddenly! Staring at the empty night sky outside the window, Su Yan was somewhat stunned. Even now, he still hadn’t snapped out of it. How could Jiu Li just disappear like that?

And another thing, he thought. He had just closely observed that mature, fox-eared lady for so long, so why didn’t an information panel appear at all? This Knowing each other ability seemed really unreliable...

Just as Su Yan was puzzling over this, a creature’s information panel suddenly popped out from the depths of his mind. Its appearance felt quite deliberate.

[Name]: Jiu Ji

[Species]: Nine-tailed heavenly fox

[Level]: Unknown

[Skill]: Unknown

Level unknown? Skills unknown? Su Yan was utterly confused after seeing the contents of the creature information panel. After triggering Knowing each other so many times, this was the first time he had encountered a creature information panel with two unknown items. What did this imply? Was the other party too mysterious? Or was there a problem with the System?

Su Yan pondered for a moment, finding it impossible to figure out.

However, he didn’t dwell on it for too long, quickly turning his attention to the words "Nine-tailed heavenly fox." He had clearly heard Jiu Li call the other party ’Mother,’ so why did the species of the two fox demons seem somewhat inconsistent? Jiu Li is a Nine-tailed Fox Demon, while the mature, fox-eared lady named Jiu Ji is a Nine-tailed heavenly fox. Su Yan found this very puzzling.

He immediately opened an online search engine and typed in "Nine-tailed heavenly fox." He wanted to see if he could find any valuable information.

The search results appeared quickly. There was no information on the Nine-tailed heavenly fox, only on the Nine-tailed Fox Demon.

Just as Su Yan was about to search for "Jiu Ji," his phone suddenly started vibrating intensely. Someone had sent him an instant message. He clicked on it and saw it was from Qin Yao.

"Su Yan, have you set out yet?" she had written.

After seeing this message, Su Yan remembered he was supposed to pick up Qin Yao. He immediately pocketed his phone and leaped out of the window, hurrying at top speed toward the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm. As for Jiu Li’s matter, I’ll have to put it on hold for now, he thought. Right now, my wealthy girlfriend is trapped in a sea of ghosts; I have to rush to save her.

「Less than two minutes later.」

Su Yan arrived at the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm and saw groups of Yin entities swarming the area. They were in every street and alley; it truly was a night parade of demons. He also saw many government members and Monster Hunters engaged in the hunt. However, due to the sheer number of Yin entities, the less powerful individuals could only watch from the sidelines, hoping to pick off any stragglers. Only a handful of people were truly fighting in the thick of the ghostly hordes.

"Brother Chen, save me!" someone cried out as they were engulfed by the tide of ghosts, desperately calling for help from a nearby companion. But when he looked, he was horrified to discover that the Brother Chen he was calling out to had already been swallowed by the ghostly tide.

They’re really putting money before their lives,

Su Yan muttered to himself, watching the few Monster Hunters engulfed in the tide of ghosts below. He then unleashed his Creature Pressure at full force, precisely targeting and sweeping away all the Yin entities within his line of sight.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Yin entities—whether Epic level or Ordinary Level—were instantly annihilated.

"Huh? Where did the Yin entities go?" someone on the scene exclaimed, baffled, not understanding how the surrounding tide of ghosts had been cleared so suddenly.

This happened so abruptly that most people present couldn’t react in time. Of course, a few sharp-eyed individuals noticed Su Yan’s presence, among them several familiar faces like Fang Pingyuan, Su Zicheng, and Zhang Fei. Su Yan saw them too but didn’t greet them. Damn, I inadvertently exposed my strength, he thought, somewhat annoyed. But it’s not a big deal.

With that thought, Su Yan’s spiritual power surged. He telekinetically lifted the scattered Soul Beads from the ground and stowed them all away in his System Backpack. Then, under the shocked gazes of the few onlookers who had noticed him, he disappeared in a flash, entering the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm.

「After entering the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm,」

Su Yan wandered around inside and found Qin Yao in the purchasing area. At that moment, Qin Yao was huddled with the firm’s employees, her expression grave. She was clearly worried about the tide of ghosts outside.

"Have you been waiting long?" Su Yan asked, standing at the entrance to the purchasing area and waving to Qin Yao inside.

Upon seeing Su Yan, Qin Yao’s face lit up with delight, and she immediately ran over to him. If so many people hadn’t been watching, she would have thrown herself into his arms.

"Su Yan, there are so many Yin entities outside!" Qin Yao exclaimed, her voice trembling slightly. She was evidently terrified by the tide of ghosts.

Su Yan listened and then comforted her, "It’s okay now. The tide of ghosts outside has been dealt with. Come on, I’ll take you back to your dorm."

The tide of ghosts has been dealt with? Qin Yao’s expression flickered with disbelief. That terrifying tide of hundreds of ghosts... dealt with just like that? Could a powerful figure from one of the great families have taken action?

Seeing the shock on Qin Yao’s face, Su Yan didn’t explain further. Instead, he used his spiritual power to lift her with Telekinesis, carrying her off toward Jing University.

During the journey, Qin Yao spoke hesitantly, "Su Yan, I... I want to spend the night at your dorm tonight..."

She had made this request at least ten times over the few months they had been dating.
