The Wicked System: Path of the Devourer Chapter 40 A New Day Part1

As the end of the Zi hour approached, Zhang Wenbin felt his stomach rumbling. Using the system's granted mana now consumed a massive amount of energy. Learning from his prior mistake, he figured he should fill his stomach first, lest he collapse from starvation the next day.

Squinting his eyes, Yang Qiang asked ingratiatingly, "Master, where to now?"

Right... where to? Having drifted around Binhai City like a rootless weed for so many years, he didn't seem to have a place to call his own.

Annoyed for a moment, Zhang Wenbin lit a cigarette. "I don't even have a place to settle down. Guess I'll have to look for a house tomorrow."

Yang Qiang immediately volunteered, "Master, let me find a place for you. I guarantee it will be luxuriously decorated so you can live comfortably."

"I don't like living under someone else's roof." Zhang Wenbin replied coldly.

Catching the drift, Yang Qiang gritted his teeth. "This servant's everything belongs to the Master. Please rest assured, Master, I still have some money. Just let me know where you want to stay, and if it's not enough, I'll pool the funds together no matter what."

"At least you know your place."

Talking to smart people was comfortable; a single hint was all it took. Nodding in satisfaction, Zhang Wenbin was glad he didn't have to waste time on such matters.

After much thought, he decided to return to the Tianlong Hotel. Having grown up poor, and since the myriad of resentful souls inside him had never seen the world or enjoyed such luxuries, staying in an opulent hotel felt pretty good—no worse than owning a house.

After sending Yang Qiang away, Zhang Wenbin used Yang Qiang's VIP card to book a presidential suite at the reception. Although a bit wasteful, he was used to being poor. When he had the chance to spend money like water, he certainly wouldn't hold back.

If his current appetite were discovered, it would be shocking. If the state caught him to use as a guinea pig, it would be a disaster. Zhang Wenbin wasn't arrogant enough to think he could fight the state machine just because he had a system.

So, he ordered a mountain of takeout to his room. After gorging himself to satisfaction, he took a delightful bath and laid down to rest.

In his sleep, he wanted to communicate with his Godfather, but it was still slumbering and evolving itself. Fusing tens of thousands of resentful souls with the soul of an ancient demon was a massive undertaking. Fearing any accidents, Zhang Wenbin dared not disturb it.

Dawn awoke the city. Xu Fei was roused by a knock on her door. Opening it, she saw her daughter, Yang Leguo, already dressed in her school uniform. "Mom, why did you get up so late today?" she asked with a sweet smile.

"I stayed up a bit late watching TV last night. Wait a moment, I'll get dressed."

After washing up, they had breakfast together. Along the way, Yang Leguo was still her bubbly self, chirping away, extraordinarily lively and adorable.

Just as that man had said, her daughter had no idea what transpired last night.

Recalling the rippling sensuality of last night, Xu Fei's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Mom, we need to hurry! You're a principal, so you're not afraid of being late, but I'm afraid I'll be punished if I'm late."

Upon arriving at school, Yang Leguo trotted into her classroom with her backpack. Xu Fei returned to her office, finished her meetings, and handled all her tasks throughout the morning.

Approaching noon, she snuck out of the school like a thief and impatiently made a phone call. "Master, are you awake?"

"Just woke up!"

Zhang Wenbin stretched, yawning as he got out of bed, rolling his neck and feeling revitalized.

Having slept early last night without overdrawing his energy, his body felt no discomfort today. Even more joyous was that, after closing his eyes to sense it, he realized he could now use his mana during the day.

Although it lacked the omnipotent feeling he had at night, it was better than reverting to an ordinary person in broad daylight. Zhang Wenbin silently assessed his current abilities; he was operating at about one-third of his omnipotent state.

One-third... should be enough.

Her face flushed with desire, Xu Fei offered, "I'll come pick you up right away."

"No need, just obediently wait for me at home." Thinking of the mature, voluptuous body of the beautiful married teacher, Zhang Wenbin felt his heart burn.

Now she was completely at his mercy, well-versed in acts like fellatio. Such a vixen laid before him, yet he couldn't fuck her, which was a great torture for any man.

The most urgent task was to finish cultivating Yang Leguo's life-bound Gu, evolving her into a Five-Yin Female. Once he deflowered her, he could indulge in this mother-and-daughter pair to his heart's content.
