“It’s indeed different.” Shen Ping carefully felt the pair of round and elastic softness behind his back and could not help but smile. Although the development of puberty was inexperienced, it had the elasticity that adults could not compare to.

He turned around and held Lian Nishang’s wrist and pulled it open. Immediately, a girl in a white and green embroidered dress appeared in his line of sight. Her hair was combed into a lively and cute double ponytail. The immaturity on her face had faded, making her look delicate and charming. Under the nourishment of the bloodline power, her skin was filled with collagen.

Most importantly, the curves on her chest were clearly bigger than before. It seemed that she could not even hold her chest back. “Did you miss me?” He pinched Lian Nishang’s face and asked.

Although they had been intimate with each other before, the girl was still very shy. She said in a low voice, “I do.”

Shen Ping teased, “Why didn’t I feel it?” As he spoke, he pointed at his face.

Lian Nishang understood and quickly kissed his left cheek. Then, she grabbed Shen Ping’s arm and said coquettishly, “Brother Shen, the Lantern Festival is just a few days away. Let’s go to the temple fair in the county.”

“Then kiss me again.”

“Hmph, bad guy.”

Then, she kissed him again. Only then did Shen Ping bring Lian Nishang to the temple fair street. A few days later, Lieutenant Lei handed the document to Shen Ping. “I’ve already reported your breakthrough to Rank 5. When you arrive at Laiyang Prefecture, the general will personally test you. If it’s confirmed, you will be awarded the status of a General. However, there are no vacancies in the prefecture cities, so you have to wait.”

Shen Ping nodded. He did not care at all about presiding over a prefecture.

“When does Lord Shen plan to set off?”

“In three days.”

After all, he and Lian Nishang had lived in Li County’s Demon Suppression Division for nearly ten years. He did not care, but Lian Nishang still had feelings for this place. Therefore, during these three days, the two of them bade farewell to the other members of the dormitory.

Other than the two of them, the most outstanding ones had yet to break through to Rank 2. In fact, this was the normal situation.

“If you’re worried about your parents, bring them to Laiyang Prefecture together. It will take two days to travel from Laiyang Prefecture to Li County.” Shen Ping looked at the reluctance in Lian Nishang’s eyes and suggested.

Lian Nishang shook her head. “Li County is my hometown. My parents won’t leave. Forget it. I’ll only go back to visit occasionally in the county. It’s the same in the prefecture capital. It’ll only take two days. Brother Shen, let’s go.”

This time, the two of them did not ride together. After walking out of the city wall of Li County, Lian Nishang looked back and raised her horsewhip to quickly catch up to Shen Ping.

Laiyang Prefecture was a prosperous prefecture in Qinzhou. Its population and taxes far exceeded the other three prefectures. Although it was not as large as the prefecture capital, it occupied almost half of it. In addition, the environment here was suitable, and the scenery was beautiful. It attracted many famous scholars, officials, and nobles to live there.

There were three generals who were in charge of the Demon Suppression Division all year round. Now, there was another one. Therefore, the entire Demon Suppression Division welcomed Shen Ping’s arrival. They had yet to reach the city gate when the two generals of the Demon Suppression Division personally welcomed them with their subordinates.

“Are you Lord Shen and Miss Lian from Li County?”

Shen Ping cupped his hands and said, “I am Shen Ping.”

Lian Nishang quickly replied. The two of them dismounted and led their horses over. The leader, a burly man with a head full of red hair, laughed and said, “Lord Shen has already broken through to Rank 5 at such a young age. Your future is limitless. It’s my humble dwelling’s honor to have two geniuses like you!”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “General Chen, you flatter me.”

Before he came, Lieutenant Lei briefly explained the situation of the Demon Suppression Division in the city.

“Come, let me introduce you.” The red-haired general held Shen Ping’s hand and said, “This is General Yu. He has been in Laiyang Prefecture for more than 50 years. The three people behind him are Lieutenant Jian, Lieutenant Zheng, and Lieutenant Chu.”

“Greetings, Lord Shen.” The three lieutenants and more than ten trusted aides behind them bowed respectfully.

Shen Ping replied and cupped his hands to greet General Yu. After some small talk, the group entered the prefecture capital. The horse’s hooves made a crisp sound on the green stone slabs on the main street. Compared to Li County, this street was wide and spacious. The shops on both sides were neat and orderly. The commoners who came and went were extremely lively. However, this prosperous scene was still inferior to Gray Stone City.

Shen Ping, who was experienced and knowledgeable, only had a smile on his face.

Lian Nishang looked back and forth curiously as this was the first time she had come to a bigger prefecture.

General Chen and General Yu only observed for a while and deduced their personalities. They originally thought that the two of them were young men and women who did not have much experience and were easy to fool. But now, it seemed that Shen Ping’s performance was that of a mature young man.

At the welcoming ceremony, Shen Ping saw General Hong, who was now in charge of the Demon Suppression Division. From the aura of his bloodline, it was obvious that he was deeper than the other two and was not far from the Star Rank.

However, the three generals were not on good terms with each other. Moreover, two factions had formed at the table. One faction was led by General Hong, and the other faction was led by General Chen and General Yu.

Shen Ping saw it, but he did not take it to heart at all. As long as there was a martial world, there would be conflicts of interest. It was the same everywhere.

The next day, the three generals personally tested Shen Ping’s strength at the drill ground. Although it was called a test, it was actually just a formality. After all, the aura of Shen Ping’s Rank 5 bloodline could not be faked. After confirming it, General Hong handed the general token to Shen Ping.

Originally, he had wanted to organize a celebration banquet for Shen Ping’s promotion, but Shen Ping had rejected it. However, Shen Ping had accepted the mansion that General Hong had given him, which made General Hong very happy.

“Wow, this mansion is so big. It’s almost half the size of Li County’s Demon Suppression Division. The prefecture capital is indeed different.” Lian Nishang looked at the huge mansion, her face full of surprise and curiosity.

“Greetings, General.” He had just stepped through the door of the mansion when a group of maidservants and servants bowed.

“You guys can do your work. When we need to be served, we’ll give the order.”

“Yes, sir.”

Next, Shen Ping brought Lian Nishang to tour the entire mansion several times. The front yard, wing room, backyard, pond, corridor, and garden. It could be said to have everything. Although it could not be compared to the imperial palace, it was already a top-notch residence in the prefecture.

It could be seen that General Hong had indeed put in a lot of effort. He went to the bathroom. The wooden bucket was like a pool.

“Such a big wooden barrel. It will definitely be very comfortable to soak in it!” Lian Nishang could not help but fantasize.

Shen Ping held her waist from behind. As his broad palm moved, the girl’s breathing became rapid. When her body turned around, her red lips were covered. There was a series of kisses. Lian Nishang collapsed into Shen Ping’s arms. However, when she felt the warmth spreading to her skirt, she suddenly shivered and pushed Shen Ping away with a red face. “Brother Shen, I’m not ready.”

Shen Ping didn’t mind. He smiled and said, “I’ll wait for you.”

Lian Nishang giggled and hugged Shen Ping’s neck again. “I knew Brother Shen was the best.”

He pinched her nose. He said, exasperated, “But let me make it clear first. I can only wait until you reach Rank 5 at the latest.”

Although the members of the Demon Suppression Division did not have any secular prejudices, they were in such an environment after all. Some things still had to be ritualized. This girl definitely wanted to hand her over to him completely when they got married.

However, Shen Ping was not in a hurry. He had many wives, concubines, and Dao companions. Furthermore, he was no longer as hot-blooded as before. Even though he was affected by his current body, he was not anxious.

At night, he ended his cultivation of absorbing the power of the stars. He activated the innate divine power of the virtual interface on a whim. As purple light flickered in his eyes, invisible energy spread out. Soon, the entire prefecture city was completely enveloped by the Purple Eye divine power.

Originally, he did not have much hope. After all, according to speculation, the ten special physiques were born under the influence of a strange beast. It was basically impossible for them to exist in this world in the huge green hall.

However, with this sweep, he actually found one, and it was in the Demon Suppression Division.

“What a pleasant surprise, what a pleasant surprise!” Shen Ping could not help but feel excited. The talent brought by the ten special physiques was too helpful to him. This was even more exciting than comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

His body turned into a shadow and quickly left the residence. Not long after, he arrived at the dormitory of the Demon Suppression Division. He quietly stood in the attic of the girl’s room and listened to the various breathing sounds coming from his ears. He came to the wooden window of a room.

The central residence of the prefecture capital was different from the Demon Suppression Division of Li County. The people living here were all outstanding apprentices of the prefecture capital, and they were at least Rank 3 bloodline awakeners.

He stared at the woman sleeping on the bed with bright eyes. Shen Ping could not help but be surprised. This woman was the same age as him and Lian Nishang. Moreover, from the outline of her face and the aura on her body, she was definitely a beast spirit.

Among the Beast Spirits, he only knew that the Spirit Race’s Immortal King, Immortal King Ling Die, had one of the ten special physiques. He did not know anything else. “Could it be that the ten special physiques originated from the True Spirit?”

He memorized the girl’s face, then he turned to leave. Returning to his residence, Shen Ping fell into deep thought. Strange beasts, ten special physiques, Realm Sea Peak… There was definitely a connection between these. However, at his current level, he could not guess at all.

“Forget it. It’s useless to think about this. I might as well increase my strength. Since the prefecture has ten special physiques, I have to do some missions here seriously and get close to this girl.”

At the age of 15 or 16 years old, he was at the age where his worldview and emotions were bursting. He felt that he was quite good at this. If he really missed, he could just use some tough methods.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Shen Ping and Lian Nishang had been in the prefecture capital for half a year.

In the past six months, the two of them were much more familiar with the prefecture capital. They had almost visited all the shops, temples, and streets in the entire city. They were also familiar with the members of the Demon Suppression Division.

After the three generals knew that Shen Ping did not intend to join any of them, their enthusiastic attitudes became cold. In just half a year, they began to arrange missions for Shen Ping.

“A Rank !, demon has appeared in Ju County. I’ll have to trouble General Shen to make a trip there.”
