"Damn it, this is torture."
"This rookie king's strength is too terrifying."
"I wonder how he compares to the S-class Eight Kings."
As everyone was discussing, Ren Yuanhao had already pulled Yafeier's hand and quickly left the scene of trouble.
The two ran wildly until they were sure that the three people were no longer following, then Ren Yuanhao let go of Yafeier's hand.
"I was presumptuous just now."
Yafeier did not reply but sized up Ren Yuanhao. After a while, she smiled and said.
"It's rare to see a man as handsome as you in a place like this, and I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable. The title of rookie king suits you."
"I am deeply honored to be praised by an international friend like you."
Ren Yuanhao pointed to the cafe ahead, still made of sky-blue canvas, and said, "Miss Yafeier, why don't we have a couple of cups of coffee?"
"And after drinking coffee? Are you planning to lure me into bed?"
Yafeier had clearly misinterpreted the original intention of 'DiDi to get off the singles list'. However, from the perspective of an international friend, this interpretation was reasonable.
Ren Yuanhao could only shrug and was too lazy to explain.
"Forget it, I was just kidding. I don't like quiet places. Coffee can make my brain stop working, but alcohol is different."
Yafeier took out a bottle of 'Brain Bai Gan' from her pocket and took a few gulps as if drinking water, which greatly impressed Ren Yuanhao.
"Amazing, I've never seen anyone dare to drink Brain Bai Gan like this. You're the first."
"Thank you, but the alcohol content is still too low. It doesn't have the kick of a fire-whip."
Yafeier seemed extremely fond of that thing. "How about this, we won't go to the cafe. How about coming to my laboratory?"
Upon mentioning the laboratory, Ren Yuanhao indeed remembered something: the equipment for extracting the true qi from cultivators. If he could see that thing, he might be able to figure out something.
Ren Yuanhao nodded, and the two walked through the messy path.
The living area of Grey Wolf was not much different from the outside world. However, while the outside world was full of normal people, more than half of the people encountered here were supernaturals.
"Long Xiaotian, you seem to be a congenital supernatural?"
Ren Yuanhao nodded and then followed her into a seemingly sturdy warehouse.
It was likely the prototype of the previous prison. He wondered if the vengeful spirits inside were still lingering nearby.
"You congenital supernaturals, and the acquired supernaturals activated by the Mandala gene, both rely on true qi and internal breath to utilize their powers. Do you know the only difference between the two?"
Yafeier looked at Ren Yuanhao meaningfully.
Speaking of this, Ren Yuanhao was indeed curious.
"I don't know, but I heard that congenital supernaturals are treated much better here?"
"Treatment is always related to strength, and the strength of congenital supernaturals is generally stronger, with greater plasticity. Therefore, the treatment is naturally different."
Ren Yuanhao asked in confusion, "Plasticity?"
Yafeier looked at Ren Yuanhao as if he were a monster, "What, you don't know this theory?"
"Why should I know it? First, I'm a newcomer, the kind who just arrived. Second, I haven't injected the Mandala gene, so how would I know the difference between the two?"
Ren Yuanhao reasoned logically.
Yafeier shook her head, turned on the laboratory lights, and a variety of orderly instruments and equipment were displayed.
"Alright, alright, I have an obligation to let a novice newcomer understand this theory." Yafeier sat down in her usual work area, tossed a toffee to Ren Yuanhao, and then said, "Acquired supernaturals cannot devour the powers of congenital supernaturals. Conversely, congenital supernaturals are unrestricted. They can devour their own kind and also devour acquired supernaturals."
When Ren Yuanhao heard this, he immediately confirmed one piece of information: the reason why Jiang Cheng himself was so strong was definitely because he had devoured many live subjects with the Mandala gene and seized their powers. Ren Yuanhao dared not guess the quantity.
"According to you, the Eight Kings should also be congenital supernaturals, right?"
Ren Yuanhao guessed reasonably.
"No, in fact, although congenital supernaturals have many conveniences and advantages, it is difficult for them to reach high positions in Grey Wolf. Because, in the end, they are like outsiders and cannot gain the trust of the Doctor."
Ren Yuanhao naturally knew who the Doctor Yafeier mentioned was. That person had changed Jiang Cheng's life, and could also be said to be the culprit behind the current situation.
While they were talking, unexpectedly, the guy who had caused trouble in the bar earlier not only brought his two brothers, but was also followed by five or six supernaturals with menacing auras!
"Close the door, quickly!"
Yafeier saw Ren Yuanhao frantically pressing buttons but could not find the button to close the gate. She immediately flew over and pressed firmly on the 'close' button. The heavy gate, however, like old machinery, slowly dropped down, making a harsh grinding sound.
Clang!
At that moment, a person used his shoulder to forcefully brace the door, and the others swarmed in. After everyone had entered, this person then rolled sideways into the laboratory.
"What? Afraid now?"
The leader threw several black bags in front of Yafeier one by one. Like black balls, they rolled directly to her feet.
Although the bags were not opened, even through the fabric, Yafeier could still smell a strong scent of blood.
Yafeier's gaze finally showed a hint of fear. Shrinking back, she kicked away the black bag closest to her.
However, as soon as she exerted force, the black bag, like an inflated balloon, burst open with a bang. Yafeier looked through the slit and, as she had expected, it contained a human head!
"These companions died tragically at the hands of those trash cultivators because your designed protective suits were too shoddy, Yafeier. Don't think that just because you are from higher up, we wouldn't dare to do anything to you. If you don't give us an explanation today, your head will also be put in this black bag!"
"You dare?" Yafeier still tried to intimidate the eight big men with her status.
The eight men pressed closer, slowly approaching Yafeier and Ren Yuanhao. These people lived a life where they held their lives in their hands. Some of them had even returned from Guyao City, dealing with desperate people every day. If they were to kill a woman who had caused the death of their brothers, they truly wouldn't bat an eye.
At this moment, Ren Yuanhao helped everyone pull the curtains and lit a cigar.
