Chapter 185

Zhuge Chaoyue lowered her head, grabbed Bai Jing, and dragged him off—mortifying!

Zhao Long's eyes lit up. They've already progressed to holding hands in broad daylight? Not bad, not bad!

So he hurriedly pulled out his phone and made a call.

"Mom, great news! That girl Chaoyue finally has a man!"

"Really, really, I saw it with my own eyes—they weren't shy about holding hands, how could it be fake? You might be holding your great-grandson by next year!"

"Not bad, not bad, he's quite a looker too—a top student from the same school!"

"What? Bring him to meet you? I wouldn't dare, tell Sister Zhuge yourself!"

After entering the forest, Bai Jing put on a show and released Riolu.

"Forgive the bold question, but your maternal uncle is surnamed Guan, your uncle is surnamed Zhao, and you're surnamed Zhuge—your family relations are a bit messy! You're not trying to collect all the Hundred Family Surnames, are you?"

Zhuge Chaoyue shot him a look and explained, "In my family, the women are the heads of the household. All daughters born take the Zhuge surname, while sons take their father's surname. Women don't marry out—anyone who wants to marry a Zhuge woman must marry into the family."

Bai Jing quipped, "A matrilineal clan!"

"May I ask your esteemed surname?"

"My uncle is surnamed Zhao, what else could my dad be surnamed? You think my grandma had a bunch of husbands?"

"Your family's so messy, how would I know? Maybe your grandma had three wives and four concubines?"

Zhuge Chaoyue was fuming—that bastard really deserved a beating!

"Cut the nonsense and focus on the search!"

Soldiers could be seen everywhere in the forest, each one opening their eyes as wide as possible, not overlooking a single hidden spot.

"With a carpet search like this and still no sign of that spy, are you sure he's really hiding here?"

"If the military is sure, it can't be wrong. Have your Riolu be more careful."

"No problem!"

Bai Jing himself activated his Aura.

"Ding! A treasure detected at one o'clock, seven hundred meters out."

Well, well—no spy found, but a treasure discovered.

Bai Jing released the Dual Sword Sheath and let it go dig up the treasure.

His explanation to Zhuge Chaoyue was, "Some places only Ghost-type Pokémon can get into, this way it's safer."
