“Interesting…” Noticing that this former assistant of his had transformed into an entirely different person, and was speaking so calmly and confidently to him, Chen Mu gradually narrowed his eyes.
As the eldest son of the Chen family, he was well acquainted with knowledge related to cultivation from a young age. That was something that the four Dao Colleges was unable to teach. After all, the four Dao Colleges had so many people to nurture, but the Chen family of the Five Generation Sky Clan only had to focus their attention on nurturing their own child.
At the same time, there were suspicions that the Five Generation Sky Clan had once passed the ancient greenish-bronze sword and brought back a mysterious cultivation technique. No one, even Chen Mu, knew whether there was any truth to that. However, he was clear that the knowledge about cultivation that his family had surpassed that of other factions greatly.
For example, he knew that there was the saying of transferring one’s soul to another physical body. Even though one had to be a Nascent Soul in order to achieve that, he also knew that there were numerous other methods of controlling puppets, as well as related skills that could allow one to control others’ minds. He couldn’t do any of that, but he knew that the people who could were elites.
Therefore, he didn’t act carelessly in front of the subordinate that had suddenly appeared before him. He was vigilant, but he wasn’t afraid. He was assured of his safety due to the fact that he had the protection of the Dao guardians around him, as well as that afforded by his Patriarch. It was possible for him to hold off an elite for a brief moment while help came.
At the same time, Chen Mu was genuinely curious about the master that this former assistant of his had mentioned. He didn’t like Wang Baole one bit and was filled with hatred towards him. Therefore, naturally, he wouldn’t apprehend a criminal for him. Chen Mu looked deeply at the subordinate before him and sat there without a word.
There was no need to elaborate further on this silent agreement. The intention had been made known clearly, and the middle-aged cultivator smiled in response.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, my master only has one target, which is Wang Baole. However, due to certain peculiar circumstances, he is unable to handle the matter personally, and will need your help.
“When the task is completed, my master promises to convey his gratitude with a puppet at perfected Core Formation realm!”
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and laughed chillingly in his heart. He felt that the middle-aged cultivator’s words were a little abrupt and unconvincing. Furthermore, he didn’t even try to hide his intention of using him as a murderer. Even though Chen Mu wanted very much to kill Wang Baole himself, he wasn’t a foolish person and could easily guess that he was being used.
This wiped out the interest that he had initially. He wanted to see the guest off, but at that moment, the middle-aged cultivator who stood before him laughed and made a move by himself. However, just before he left, he placed a small drum before Chen Mu!
The small drum was blood-colored. The moment it was taken out, a concentrated bloody aura was immediately given off. An indescribable level of evilness also spread from within. At the same time, an astonishing suppressive force emerged. The suppressive force was on the same level as that given off by someone who had perfected Core Formation realm, and that shocked Chen Mu severely.
“This item is the seed of the puppet. Dao Cultivator Chen, it is meant to aid you in your consideration. If you agree, you can sound the seed. In due time, my master will reveal to you the method of nurturing this seed.” As the middle-aged cultivator spoke, he took a few steps back before turning to leave. As he went away, his body began burning without a sound. When he finally stepped out of the shed, his body had turned to ash, which was scattered into space.
Looking at the sinister-looking drum, and then at the body that was burning in flames, Chen Mu instantly grew solemn. He knew that he had no choice but to treat this matter very seriously.
However, he didn’t touch the drum. Instead, after thinking deeply about what to do, he summoned someone over to bring the item back to his family clan, in order for them to study it and decide what to do with it.
At the same time, Wang Baole, who had left Wen Huai’s zone after his inspection, satisfyingly returned to his residence with the intention to continue cultivating and researching Dharmic Armaments.
In the middle of that very night, with darkness shrouding the area and silence in the air, Wang Baole’s voice transmission ring and the door of his residence sounded out simultaneously. It was Li Wan’er again…
Wang Baole was well prepared for this. After all, the Dark Qi inside Li Wan’er’s body wasn’t something that could be completely removed after one or two tries. He opened his eyes and took a look at his voice transmission ring before opening the door to his residence, where he saw Li Wan’er standing outside.
Li Wan’er didn’t say a word and stepped right in expressionlessly. She didn’t even need Wang Baole to lead the way and headed towards the secret chamber directly.
Wang Baole blinked. After closing the door, he felt that the entire situation was a little unusual. That was especially so when he thought about Li Wan’er’s provocative figure, which made his heart pump even faster uncontrollably. He cleared his throat and entered the secret chamber, beginning the healing process…
The healing process this time around felt even more familiar for both Wang Baole and Li Wan’er, especially after the lights were extinguished. The process was exactly the same as yesterday’s, shrouded in an indescribable atmosphere.
However, Wang Baole was still satisfied with his character. He felt that he was a gentleman and was doing all the healing in order to save someone. He was serious and responsible and didn’t have any untoward thoughts. It was because he needed to heal Li Wan’er that he had no choice but to feel her all over.
Just like this, days passed. The healing that took place between Wang Baole and Li Wan’er seemed to have become their shared secret and their new norm. Their relationship grew even more unusual. In the day, when the two of them were in the office, everything seemed to proceed normally. Regardless of whether Li Wan’er was reporting her findings or discussing matters with Wang Baole, she was cold and expressionless, no different from how she was before.
Sometimes, she would even use harsh tones when the matter involved Chen Mu.
However, once night fell, Li Wan’er would come to Wang Baole’s residence on her own and enter the secret chamber by herself. Even though she still appeared cold and distant, the moment the healing process started after extinguishing the lights, she seemed to have turned into an entirely different person. She panted and her body was hot to the touch, and even though the two of them didn’t do anything out of character, the touchy healing process was even more intimate than the time they were trapped in the cave.
That often made Wang Baole confused as to which was the real Li Wan’er. However, he felt that it was all exhilarating. It was even more so if he had a very heated argument with Li Wan’er in the day, as during the night, he would grab Li Wan’er even more forcefully. Li Wan’er, on the other hand, would tremble vigorously after being forcefully grabbed by Wang Baole, but she didn’t show any signs of rejection or resistance…
There were several times where Wang Baole almost lost control and lost his virginity. However, he still remained gentlemanly and controlled himself well. It could be a misconception, but it seemed that the more he acted that way, the more Li Wan’er would engage in an even more heated discussion with Wang Baole over issues regarding the city the next day.
Gradually, Wang Baole got used to it. Twenty-odd days like that passed, and as the Dark Qi inside Li Wan’er’s body was cleared completely, Wang Baole ended the healing process with regret.
Before she left, Li Wan’er looked deeply into Wang Baole’s eyes. Like all the other times, she didn’t say a word and left.
How rude. She didn’t even thank me for that. Over the month that passed, it was tough for me to heal her every day. Wang Baole thought in his mind while feeling extremely disappointed.
Three days passed in this disappointment. At noon on the fourth day, Wang Baole left his residence and headed to his office. Inside the office building of the City Lord, Li Wan’er—the beautiful yet cold lady who was wearing a tight-fitting uniform—was looking angrily at Chen Mu, who was now in his office.
“You don’t need to look at me in that manner. The construction of the autonomous zone requires even more resources and support, and it’s not overboard for me to ask you to transfer your manpower and authority of the new city to me.” Chen Mu spoke calmly as he sat there. He was here today to ask for more manpower and authority from the new city, as that was the only way he could carry out preparations and plans to prevent Li Wan’er from turning against him.
In reality, he had already proposed this idea for over half a month. Every single time, Li Wan’er had rejected him, and that was why he had come personally today, angered by the matter.
Li Wan’er panted vigorously. She would have long exploded in anger based on her temperament. However, as she kept in mind that her father and the Chen family had formed an alliance, she simply took a deep breath to calm herself down, despite being extremely annoyed at how overboard Chen Mu was.
“Chen Mu, once I transfer the authority, I would be severely affected if any problems arose. We need to plan out everything and look at the whole picture. Furthermore, the purpose of me being here is to pave a smooth path for you…”
“Don’t mention anything about helping me. Your aim of coming here is to make it convenient for you to have a secret relationship with Wang Baole!” Chen Mu frowned, and a chill flashed across his eyes. In order to accomplish his goal, he decided to agitate Li Wan’er.
“Chen Mu!” Hearing that sentence, Li Wan’er slammed the table, almost unleashing her wrath.
“Slamming the table at me?” Chen Mu laughed and slammed the table loudly as well. After that, he threw out a jade slip towards Li Wan’er.
“Look at the footage in the jade slip. Let me tell you, Li Wan’er, you have no choice but to hand over your authority to me, regardless of whether you’re willing or not. If not, I’ll hand over this jade slip to your father. I don’t care whether he would be angry, but I will never be made a cuckold!”
“Interesting…” Noticing that this former assistant of his had transformed into an entirely different person, and was speaking so calmly and confidently to him, Chen Mu gradually narrowed his eyes.
