Hearing her superior’s question, Bai Yuling’s subordinate quickly pulled up the footage of Yan Qi’s first appearance and last disappearance before answering:
“Right here—a rarely used stairwell in the hospital.”
Bai Yuling thought for a moment before asking further:
“Did anyone else spot traces of her leaving?”
“Sorry, Director. Our team found no signs of her departure.”
The subordinate answered honestly.
With this confirmation, Bai Yuling stared at the frozen image of Yan Qi in her fox-eared loli form and couldn’t help but mutter under her breath:
“As expected, we can’t underestimate these wild superhumans who’ve returned from the Abyss.”
Two days had passed since Yan Qi transformed into her fox-eared loli form to cure Wu Qingqing and learned that Auntie Bai Yuling was the director of Fengcheng City’s Anomaly Bureau.
Sitting on her bed after nearly four hours of cultivation, Yan Qi realized her mother would soon call her for breakfast.
So she ended her morning training session, dispersed the spiritual vortex in her dantian, and got up.
After washing up and changing into fresh clothes, she gazed at her reflection in the vanity mirror and smiled confidently—she looked just as pretty as yesterday.
Then she left her bedroom and headed downstairs to the living room.
“Good morning, Mom and Dad!”
She greeted her parents warmly.
Hearing her, Yan Zhenyi—who was reading the newspaper—and Li Caifeng—who had just finished cooking breakfast—responded in turn.
Soon after, the family of three began their usual morning meal.
After eating her fill, Yan Qi leaned back with a blissful expression.
Then, she suddenly remembered something:
Back when she had transformed into the fox-eared loli to treat Wu Qingqing, she had told her parents she was looking for an online job.
Now that she had found a well-paying, reliable job (albeit with a minor age restriction), she decided to bring it up.
“Mom, Dad, I found a job online that’s perfect for me.”
Hearing this, Yan Zhenyi and Li Caifeng paused in surprise before setting down what they were doing to ask:
“What kind of job, Xiao Qi?”
“I’m going to write web novels.”
She answered honestly.
“Web novels? That’s a decent job, but… don’t those sites have age requirements for contracted authors?”
Yan Zhenyi looked at his daughter uncertainly.
“Yeah, they do. Since I’m underage, I’ll need you or Mom to sign the contract for me.”
“I figured as much.”
“So… do you guys agree to let me take this job?”
Yan Qi pressed.
Yan Zhenyi and Li Caifeng exchanged glances, silently debating, before Yan Zhenyi finally replied:
“Of course we agree—but you have to promise us that nothing you write will violate morality or the law.”
“Don’t worry! My novels are all wholesome and positive. No rule-breaking here!”
Yan Qi sat up straight, patting her flat chest with solemn assurance.
With her parents’ approval secured, she helped her mother clear the table and finish the chores before excusing herself:
“I’m going back to my room to write!”
…..
Once inside, Yan Qi immediately booted up her computer and pulled up the document she had prepared yesterday—a near-perfect replication of Breaking the Heavens, a famous novel from her past life.
As an electronic diva, she had effortlessly transcribed nearly 500,000 words in under half an hour.
Whistling smugly to herself, she opened the document, then logged into her author dashboard on the novel platform.
After copying and pasting ten pre-written chapters (around 20,000 words) and submitting them for review and contract approval, she leaned back in satisfaction.
“Done! Once the review passes and Mom or Dad signs for me, I’ll just need to update 20,000 words daily, and I’ll be rolling in cash. Easy wealth!”
Knowing how explosively popular Breaking the Heavens had been in her past life, she grinned at the thought.
“Oh, right—today’s Saturday. Did I forget something important?”
Slumping into her chair, she frowned, plagued by a nagging sense of oversight.
Then, spotting the date on her computer’s taskbar, it hit her.
“How could I forget about reputation points?! Ugh, I’ve been too obsessed with cultivation. My memory’s terrible!”
She bolted upright, scolding herself internally before hurriedly opening her system panel to check her accumulated reputation points.
[Total Reputation Points: 1,000,000,000.]
Staring at the staggering ten-digit figure, she recalled her earlier plan—to exchange six-star companion transformation cards for her parents and sister.
Without hesitation, she navigated to the system shop, found the six-star companion card icon, and clicked it.
A confirmation prompt appeared:
[Exchange 1,000,000,000 reputation points for this item?]
She immediately hit Yes.
[Exchange successful!]
Eager to inspect her new cards, Yan Qi tried to access her transformation library—
Only for the system screen to abruptly go black.
