Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 572: Chapter 138 Qin Shiyuan_1

Wen Yu once made a self-assessment—a mere Martial Artist.

This evaluation was incredibly accurate.

As a Martial Artist, battle was his work; slaughter was his existence. During times of war and conflict, with his enormous strength, it would not be an exaggeration to describe Wen Yu, a ”pure Martial Artist,” as the Sun on the battlefield.

When war ended, it would be time for the Martial Artist to hang up his armor and return to the fields.

Of course, to say ”return to the farm” might be a bit of a stretch, as this world will never lack wars. However, considering the current situation at the Yanjing Assembly Site, Wen Yu was definitely temporarily in a ”place where his martial skills were of no use.”

The day before the Yanjing Assembly Site officially declared the end of the war, Wen Yu had already returned to Eternal Sky City and begun his ”leisure life.”

Naturally, the pursuit of strength is limitless, and in the absence of Demon Fiends, Wen Yu finally set his sights on another treasure—the numerous treasure lands in Eternal Sky City.

Inside Eternal Sky City, there were a large number of treasure lands, all of which were permanently open.

When it came to assisting the Yanjing Assembly Site, the rewards from permanently open treasure lands were naturally much greater than those from one-time use treasure lands. However, in terms of the quality of items produced in a single run, the permanently open treasure lands fell short by a large margin. For Wen Yu, these treasure lands could only be said to be better than nothing.

After meeting with Lin Haifeng, Wen Yu used the treasure land privilege he had once gained—the ability to Absorb a Demon Realm’s Gate—on the Demon Realm’s Gate nearest to the Yanjing Assembly Site. Then, Lin Haifeng generously granted Wen Yu access to most of the treasure lands.

The boring ”treasure hunt” began.

Wen Yu plunged into the treasure land, partly to avoid the imminent major events.

He knew Lin Haifeng’s character and had a good idea of his thoughts. Regarding this matter, Wen Yu absolutely kept a respectful distance. This affair was nothing but a ticking bomb—there were no benefits, at least not for Wen Yu. If he were to get involved, he would only end up hurt.

But in this matter, Wen Yu was just a secondary character, or rather, an outsider.

When Wen Yu rejected Lin Haifeng, Lin Haifeng had already excluded Wen Yu from his overall plan.

And the moment the war ended, the ”Sea King Control Plan” began to show its ferocious side.

After a quick shower, he stepped out of the bathroom, opened his wardrobe, took out a crisp casual outfit, and put it on.

Arthur looked in the mirror—his short golden hair sparkled in the sunlight streaming through the window. His features weren’t particularly handsome or dashing, but combined with his cool demeanor, his overall image was certainly above average. Standing at 1.85 meters tall, with an evenly proportioned body, he didn’t seem threatening or intimidating, yet he could provide women with a strong sense of security.

80 points, I guess.

Arthur gave his appearance a slightly humble score.

He casually picked up a beautifully packaged gift box from the coffee table, left the room, and hurried towards a particular destination.

Every Sequencer in Eternal Sky City was assigned a house. This was a small tactic Lin Haifeng used to win over powerful experts.

Of course, the same applied to the Yanjing Assembly Site below.

Sequence-class experts, or those close to Sequence-class, once they joined the military, would inevitably have their battlefield below, at the Yanjing Assembly Site. Therefore, a house in the Yanjing Assembly Site was necessary for them.

But in terms of safety, there was probably no place in the world safer than Eternal Sky City at present.

So, Sequencers with families and relatives would place their dependents inside Eternal Sky City to alleviate their worries.

And under Lin Haifeng’s plan, the houses of Sequencer-class or nearly Sequence-class experts, similar to the arrangement in the Yanjing Assembly Site, were all located in one area. They were not far from each other, with the main difference being the size of the residences.

Leaving his vast and empty mansion, Arthur strode forward. As a Peak Level 5 professionist, even his walking pace was terrifyingly fast.

In less than three minutes, Arthur had already arrived at Qin Tian’s mansion.

After passing the Intelligent Housekeeping System’s identity verification and crossing several high-tech security checkpoints, Arthur walked in a specific direction as if he were in his own home.

Before Arthur could even get close, a chattering sound already emanated from the room.

”Yuanyuan, let me tell you, I heard tomorrow’s market will be very lively! They’ll have lots of new and interesting things. Tell your brother and Arthur, and let’s all go check it out tomorrow.”

The seemingly enthusiastic female voice made Arthur frown.

These ”housewives” again...

Qin Shiyuan was Sequence Number 4’s sister and possibly Sequence Number 15’s girlfriend. Although her own strength was only at Peak Level 1, there’s a saying: ”When one person attains Daoism, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.” The number of such ”ascended” individuals around Qin Shiyuan was far more than one. Thus, in Eternal Sky City and the Yanjing Assembly Site, Qin Shiyuan’s status couldn’t be judged solely by her professionist level.

She was Qin Tian’s sister and Arthur’s probable girlfriend.

And with such relationships, the problems Qin Shiyuan faced could be easily imagined!

Anyone who wanted to curry favor with Arthur and Qin Tian would first target this seemingly weak girl.

In fact, ever since Qin Shiyuan moved into Eternal Sky City, these people intending to ”make friends” had been arriving in a constant stream. Laughably, they were all wives or mistresses of some powerful military expert—either a lower-ranking Sequencer or even someone not a Sequencer, but still reasonably strong.

Qin Shiyuan was very smart. She naturally knew the true purpose of those who surrounded her, despite their claims of just wanting to be ’best friends’.

Until now, Qin Shiyuan had always kept a respectful distance from these ”gossips,” but today...

As Arthur approached the main living room, he saw a flicker of interest in Qin Shiyuan’s eyes.

People shouldn’t be kept like canaries...

And now, Qin Shiyuan was Qin Tian and Arthur’s canary!

Although this was done under the guise of protecting Qin Shiyuan’s life, it was, in reality, a form of disguised imprisonment. Qin Shiyuan, being intelligent and sensible, didn’t voice any objections. But she truly yearned to see the outside world.

Her delicate face, paired with an expression of yearning, quietly stirred a soft spot in Arthur’s heart.

”If you want to go, then let’s go. I’ll accompany you. With me around, Qin Tian should be reassured,” Arthur said gently.

The few beautiful, curvaceously-figured women adorned in gold and silver, who had been surrounding Qin Shiyuan, hastily stood up. ”My Lord!” they exclaimed, their voices filled with humble reverence.
