"What... what?"
Upon hearing Shen Bo Tian's words, Shen Yun Yao was momentarily stunned.
The Energy-Devouring Water Monkey was an extremely dangerous monster, especially to lone explorers or small exploration teams. Its berserk state during a full moon was particularly ferocious...
Such a dangerous creature was actually brought in by Shen Bo Tian specifically?
"Mm!"
Shen Bo Tian nodded, "Yao Yao, you just mentioned that the Energy-Devouring Water Monkey was attracted by Ye Feng's arcane energy and went into a berserk state. Are you sure?"
Shen Bo Tian's expression turned quite serious towards the end.
"Well... I was just speculating... it's also possible the Energy-Devouring Water Monkey suddenly changed its temperament..." Shen Yun Yao frowned slightly. "But Ye Feng's arcane energy seems a bit special. Perhaps that's why the Energy-Devouring Water Monkey came from so far away!"
"Special? How is it special?" Shen Bo Tian quickly followed up.
"Um... I can't really say. It's a feeling... a very special feeling... I don't know how to describe it..." Shen Yun Yao recalled, explaining with a hint of helplessness.
"Is that so..." Shen Bo Tian also furrowed his brow, his expression solemn.
"Grandfather, why did you put the Energy-Devouring Water Monkeys over there?" Shen Yun Yao spoke again, her expression full of curiosity.
Hearing Shen Bo Tian's explanation just now, she suddenly remembered that her grandfather used to inquire about and check on the Energy-Devouring Water Monkeys. She had previously thought it was routine checks, but now it seemed to have another purpose?
"During the early construction of Mech City, there were a lot of zombies nearby. I brought in those Energy-Devouring Water Monkeys back then."
"After all, Energy-Devouring Water Monkeys have strong territorial instincts, and wandering monsters like zombies easily become their targets... they were perfect for clearing out zombies..."
"And Energy-Devouring Water Monkeys generally don't leave their territory, so after the zombies were cleared, I didn't send anyone to attack them..."
"Of course, that's the public reason!" Shen Bo Tian paused. "The real reason I kept the Energy-Devouring Water Monkeys was to use their sensory abilities to find certain people... or certain things..."
"Grandfather... the person you're looking for... is it Ye Feng?" Shen Yun Yao asked, compelled by an inexplicable urge after hearing Shen Bo Tian's explanation.

Mech City's Slums,
Near the Time Cabin,
After a lot of trying, the ground near the Time Cabin was riddled with new craters and large patches of broken stones. Little too had gradually learned to control the Angel Battle Suit...
"Big Brother, what are you thinking about?" Little too, who had just taken off the Angel Battle Suit, saw Ye Feng staring at the Tang Saber with a faraway look and couldn't help but ask.
"Uh... nothing~" Ye Feng snapped back to attention and waved his hand gently. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Little too, but he himself didn't know how to describe it. After he advanced to Silver Initial Stage, this Tang Saber gave him a strange sensation... He could feel the Tang Saber emitting a fluctuation, a kind of immense power... but he didn't know how to use it...
"Oh~ Big Brother, here!~" Little too didn't ask further and handed the Angel Battle Suit to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng frowned slightly, glanced at the Tang Saber, and said, "Little too, you keep this Angel Battle Suit for now~"
"Really?" Hearing this, Little too's eyes lit up.
"Mm!" Ye Feng nodded seriously. After the previous verification, he realized that controlling this Angel Battle Suit seemed to require Angelic Power to truly unleash its might, otherwise, it was just a sturdy armor... Little too, for some unknown reason, could wield the Angelic Power contained within the silver hairpin... Therefore, Ye Feng felt it was better to give the Angel Battle Suit to Little too and planned to study the Tang Saber himself...
...
It was already two in the afternoon when they left Alice's Time Cabin. Ye Feng felt quite dejected because, after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any trace of Alice, nor anything that could prove her identity. He also didn't understand why Alice inexplicably sought him out for a divination... And the strange words Alice said before being sucked into the vortex, "The funeral bell has tolled... the final judgment day is coming..."
"This Alice seems to recognize this Tang Saber... The mysterious woman named Yue Fei Xue before also seemed to know it..." Carrying a pile of mysteries, Ye Feng and Little too headed towards the Mech Star Hotel.
"Mr. Ye?!"
After walking for a short while, a familiar middle-aged male voice reached Ye Feng's ears.
"Zheng Hu Zi~" Seeing the speaker, Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.
"Zheng Hu Zi, what's going on?" Seeing the large crowd gathered behind Zheng Hu Zi, Ye Feng asked with curiosity.
"Oh, Mr. Ye, this is Wu Yi Hang, Old Dog Wu's den!"
"A few days ago, something happened here, and Old Dog Wu was killed in his own lair. The scene was chaotic, and there was a shootout and a fire..." Zheng Hu Zi quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"So that's how it is!~" A few minutes later, Ye Feng finally understood why so many people were gathered here. It turned out that this base of Old Dog Wu in the slums, which was a front for human trafficking, was actually a black market secretly selling mech parts...
"Wu Yi Hang... Old Dog Wu..." Looking at the ruins in the crowd, scorched by fire, Ye Feng couldn't help but recall the incident where Little too was inexplicably knocked out and abducted earlier...
"This Mech City is truly complicated~" Ye Feng scratched the back of his head with a headache. Although he hadn't been in Mech City for long, he had encountered so many mysteries...
...
As dusk approached, Ye Feng and Little too finally returned to the Mech Star Hotel.
"Mr. Ye, you're back!" As Ye Feng and Little too walked into the lobby, a somewhat portly middle-aged man greeted them with a smile and started talking to Ye Feng.
"Uh... you are?" Ye Feng looked at the portly middle-aged man in front of him with some confusion, as he didn't recognize the person.
"Mr. Ye, hello, I am Yu Yu from the Yu family, here to congratulate Mr. Ye on becoming a Forgemaster!"
"A small token of appreciation, please accept it!~" As Yu Yu finished speaking, a group of people from the hotel lobby, carrying large bags and packages, walked up and stood behind Yu Yu. Among them were five or six women, dressed gorgeously, tall, curvaceous, and quite attractive. They walked up to Ye Feng in unison and bowed, saying, "Hello, Mr. Ye!"
As the five or six women bowed, they presented their beautiful curves to Ye Feng. A few of their fair peaks swayed... Afterward, they all moved behind Ye Feng.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Ye Feng frowned slightly.
"Mr. Ye, from now on, they will be your maids!" Yu Yu stepped forward to explain, and the five or six women also leaned closer to Ye Feng.
"What a mess!~ Get out of the way!" With that said, Ye Feng ignored Yu Yu and turned to leave with Little too...
Yu Yu frowned tightly but did not pursue them.
At a corner of the lobby, Chu Xin was staring at Ye Feng with venomous eyes. She gritted her teeth, "Damn it! Damn it! All men deserve to die..."
