"I am a man, just cross-dressing."
"You are kidding me, right?"
The woman didn't answer him and entered a vacant cubicle. A few minutes later, when the cubicle was opened, the bald man who was waiting outside was shocked.
"No way! Are you for real, dude?!"
The person who came out was not the sexy red-haired woman he imagined. Rather, a handsome blonde-haired man.
"You can go in and check. Is there anyone else besides me?" The blonde man's voice was deep and magnetic. It didn't look fake at all.
The bald man couldn't believe it and looked inside the cubicle, only to find it empty.
"Damn dude, that's amazing-"
Before he could finish his words, his neck was strangled from behind, and his head was slammed against the wall in front, breaking his skull.
Only after confirming that the bald man was dead, did the blonde man leave the dead body lying there in the toilet and come out of the cubicle. He removed the gloves, put them in his backpack, and left the crime scene with elegant steps.
He clicked on his phone, and on the screen was the photo of that bald man he had killed just now, along with a bounty of 500,000.
'Mission completed, now it's time to leave for Longyan country.'

In the next few days, Zhang Xulin was busy collecting information about urban legends, anecdotes, and folklore about the Stone Spring Mountains.
On this day, she brought the pile of information to Yang Qingxi's work desk.
"Miss, here are the things you asked me to prepare."
Yang Qingxi hoisted her head and said with a faint smile. "Sister Xulin, hard work on you."
"Not a problem, Miss. That's what I should do."
The heavy bags under Zhang Xulin's eyes were pretty obvious. Yang Qingxi could see that Sister Xulin hadn't slept well in the past few days, which made her distressed.
"You should take some rest."
"I will, Miss."
Yang Qingxi nodded. Then, instead of reading the files, she raised her brow and asked, somewhat curiously.
"What has Su Mo been up to lately?"
For the past few days, she has been busy adapting to her newly improved strength of the Peak Body Refining Stage. So, she hasn't been out much. She doesn't know how Su Mo made use of his free days.
Zhang Xulin's originally lively expression became resentful.
"Young Miss, Su Mo asked for a game console two days ago and has been playing games inside his room all this time. He only comes out when it's mealtime. He has become a proper homebody."
Yang Qingxi gave her a blank stare and asked with a speechless expression. "Are you serious?"
"According to Mr. Su Mo's original words, he wants to appreciate the game culture of the secular world."
When Zhang Xulin repeated Su Mo's words, she couldn't understand why he would make such a high-sounding lame excuse just to play games.
Yang Qingxi's lips twitched. She rubbed her forehead and said with an exhausted sigh. "Please, call him over."
"Yes, Miss." Zhang Xulin nodded and left.

While waiting for Su Mo's arrival, she started flipping through the files.
Most of the information was about the mysterious disappearances of travellers around that area. Strange events such as animal riots, changeable weather, the appearance of dense mist, and the bone-chilling coldness in the springs of the Stone Spring Mountains.
Which makes it impossible to use for bathing purposes. Hence, that place couldn't become a tourist attraction.
Even the forest is like a maze, and it is easy to get lost there.
There are stories about the sightings of ghosts and weird things. Such as the sound of horses galloping, army fighting, etc.
Yang Qingxi rubbed her chin and looked out of the window at the garden, lost in thought.
At this time, Su Mo entered the study and witnessed a scene that mesmerised him.
Yang Qingxi sat gracefully by the tall window, her delicate fingers lightly resting beneath her chin, supporting her face as her gaze drifted into the distance.
The sunlight spilt through the sheer curtains, casting a warm, golden hue across the room and illuminating the soft contours of her face. Her long black hair flowed down her back like a satin waterfall, slightly tousled in an effortless, elegant way.
She wore a figure-hugging silk cheongsam in deep midnight blue. The slit along the side revealed a glimpse of her long, fair legs, crossed neatly at the ankle.
Her black eyes were deep and contemplative, unaware of his presence.
Only when she heard Su Mo's thoughts did Yang Qingxi turn to look at him.
[Damn! I almost fell for it! Is this woman trying to seduce me?! If this is her purpose, I have to say she made a powerful move!]
[If not for my high mental resistance! I would have fallen for her temptation!]
Yang Qingxi's brows twitched, and she rolled her eyes. She barely restrained herself from complaining.
'First, keep your eyes away from my legs before you try to deceive yourself.'
Fortunately, she wasn't disgusted by his gaze. Otherwise, she would have scolded him long ago.
"You are here. What are you doing standing there? Come and take a seat."
Only then did Su Mo come back to his senses. However, he acted as if nothing had happened and sat down in a calm posture.
"Sister Xulin told me you needed me for something?"
[I just left the game at the important point.]
Yang Qingxi ignored the complaints in his heart and answered.
"Well, yeah, Sister Xulin has compiled all the information here. This is your share of the copy. We can start preparing to raid to tomb."
When she said that, at the same time, she took the file and handed it to Su Mo.
"She got it done so soon? I thought it would take her at least a week." Su Mo picked up the file with an unexpected expression. He was genuinely surprised by Zhang Xulin's efficiency.
Su Mo flipped through the file and asked, "So, when are we going?"
"It's better to be as fast as possible."
"Tomorrow it is, then."
