After a round of searching, they didn't find anything at Majesty Kang's residence, but they did find a lot of gold, silver, and treasures in Majesty Kang's residence. Lin Fan wasn't stupid enough to embezzle these things, so he handed them all over.
After that, he and Gong Ziyu searched the entire country for a month, but they still didn't find anything. The two of them returned a little dejectedly. It was a good thing that they couldn't find anything, but the two of them still felt empty.
They also had some hidden worries in their hearts.
This was especially true for Lin Fan. This hidden worry was even greater. After all, he was now the head of the Jingye Bureau and shouldered the responsibility of getting rid of all the demons and monsters in the empire.
This hidden worry gradually faded with the passage of time. Ever since Majesty Kang's rebellion, the Yellow Dragon Empire had been quiet for a long time. It wasn't known if it was because of Lin Fan's reputation, but in the past six months, not only did no major strange cases occur, but even some small demons and monsters didn't appear again. The country was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace. The world was prosperous.
For an organization like the Jingye Bureau, they were busy to death and bored to death. For the past six months, Lin Fan was very relaxed. Other people relied on persistent hard work to cultivate day and night, but Lin Fan used the panel and various points. Therefore, other than being forced by Lei Jun to thunder refine three times, Lin Fan's life was quite comfortable and comfortable.
Speaking of thunder refine, Lin Fan still felt that it was necessary because as his cultivation and physical body improved, the pain of thunder and lightning would gradually lessen, and the electricity stored in his body would gradually increase. Not only would the power of the Thunderclap Palm increase, but his attack and defense would also be able to stimulate thunder and lightning, and his attack and defense would also increase.
Because he cultivated his body with thunder, Lin Fan naturally chose thunder-type spells after choosing spells. For example, his Rushing Thunder Finger, which had been upgraded to perfection, was a set of thunder-type spells. With a flick of his finger, thunder and lightning would surge and kill from a distance. It was extremely powerful.
This kind of thunder-type spell wasn't something that just anyone could cultivate. One had to cultivate his body with thunder and reach the Qi Cultivation Stage before he could do it.
Take Lei Jun as an example. Although he is also a Thunder Tempering Body Refiner, he has not yet entered the Qi Refining stage. His body does not produce True Qi, and the Rushing Thunder Finger requires True Qi to activate.
After the battle with the Earth Demon, Lin Fan now had 35,000 times the normal amount of Demon Qi at his disposal. Naturally, the improvement of his basic cultivation base and various spells was not a problem.
In addition to self-improvement, Lin Fan naturally did not forget to entertain himself. Among his few friends, Lu Hua was the most honest one. He belonged to the cautious and brave type. When he was with him, he just listened to him talk about some great principles. Playing with him was really boring.
Lei Jun only thought about cultivating every day and never thought about playing. Therefore, Lin Fan's only playmate was Wang Baole.
With Lin Fan taking care of him, Wang Baole's days were rather comfortable. He was also a member of the Internal Affairs Division and enjoyed the benefits of being in an advantageous position. His tasks were very leisurely, and he had no intention of cultivating. Therefore, he spent his days playing.
When it came to playing, this fellow could think of good places to go. Not long after entering Dragon City, he learned about all the entertainment venues in the capital.
Although Dragon City was under the rule of the emperor, it was not exempt from the customs. There were gambling dens, opera houses, brothels, pleasure boats, and many other places. After all, the existence of such places was legal in this world.
One day.
Outside Dragon City.
Luo River.
On a pleasure boat.
The sky had already turned dark.
On the pleasure boats of various colors, the lights were lit. The lights of various colors shone on the river, creating a drunken color. As the water rippled, it was like a giant ink painting that could move.
On an extremely large pleasure boat, two guests sat under the lights, listening to music and drinking. One of them was a handsome youth with bright eyes, looking around arrogantly. The other was a large fatty with a pair of small, squinty eyes that were naturally comical. The two of them drank and chatted merrily, with a woman standing beside each of them.
Coming to such a place was naturally to look for entertainment. The large fatty, Wang Baole, was even more unamused. The woman standing beside him was dressed in heavy makeup. She was also considered good-looking, and she was more voluptuous.
She gave off a strong aura of prostitution.
Wang Baole appeared even fatter. As he sat there, the chair could not accommodate his fat buttocks. As he drank, his gaze would occasionally stare fiercely at the voluptuous woman beside him. His gaze seemed to be able to gouge the flesh off the woman's body, and he appeared to be impatient.
The handsome youth, Lin Fan, also had a woman beside him. This woman was completely different from the woman beside Wang Baole. She was beautiful and charming, fresh and refined, as if she were a fairy that had descended from the heavens.
Her red dress made her even sexier, and it also made her skin look even fairer. In reality, this woman could be considered perfect. The only thing she lacked was her skin, which was colorless.
The woman held a lantern in her hand. Under the glow of the lantern, one could clearly see that there was a painting of a lady on it.
The lantern was no ordinary lantern, and the woman was no ordinary woman.
"Lin Fan, why do I feel that it's getting colder?"
Wang Baole could not help but ask. It was just the beginning of autumn, and the weather was still a little hot. It was inappropriate to say that it was cold now.
"Are you cold?"
Lin Fan stared at Wang Baole and laughed playfully. "It must be because your body is weak. Look at you, you're almost a hundred kilograms. It's time for you to train. You're also a martial artist, but your body is worse than an ordinary person's."
Lin Fan smiled weakly. He glanced sideways at the woman beside Lin Fan and said strangely, "Hey, Lin Fan, where did you get this woman from? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"Pretty, right?" Lin Fan laughed.
"Pretty." When Wang Baole laughed, his small eyes narrowed into slits. However, this time, it was very abnormal. His face did not have the usual look of lust that made him salivate at the sight of beautiful women.
"Let her accompany you tonight," Lin Fan said.
The woman holding the lantern glanced at Lin Fan and pursed her lips.
"No, you should keep her for yourself. I have no luck with such a woman," Wang Baole said as he whispered into Lin Fan's ear. "I'm afraid that I will die in bed."
Wang Baole spoke the truth. After seeing the woman, not only did he feel cold, but his heart also felt cold.
It was a hair-raising feeling.
At that moment, he glanced at the lantern the woman was holding and said strangely, "Why is she always holding that lantern? Doesn't she find it tiring?"
Lin Fan turned to the woman in red and said, "Hang the lantern to the side."
The woman in red was the lantern female ghost that Lin Fan had captured. She seemed unwilling when she heard that, but she still hung the lantern somewhere not far from her. If humans approached the lantern, they would be devoured by the ghostly fire, but she would feel comfortable.
After the lantern female ghost stayed in Lin Fan's Soul Nurturing Pagoda for half a year, she finally could not stand the loneliness and requested to come out.
Lin Fan raised a few conditions for her. After she agreed, Lin Fan released her and made her his maidservant.
There were probably not many people in the world who would keep a female ghost by their side as a maidservant. In the Yellow Dragon Empire, only Lin Fan had the guts to do so. However, Lin Fan did not dare to do so openly. He only released her when he was out to have fun, such as now. He had come to such a place with Wang Baole to have some fun and not to attract any prostitutes.
