Chapter 1036 Someone is coming
"Hehe...are you being polite to me?"
Li Wan'er's voice was gentle, her allure radiating. She paused for a moment, as if savoring the atmosphere, before continuing leisurely, "Come to think of it, in order to hold back those troublesome members of the Red Blood Cult, Wan'er put in a lot of effort and took considerable risks... Haven't you considered giving them a small reward?"
Jiang Xiaochuan understood.
The reason why he spared her life was that he intended to train her to be a spy for Jinghai, so that he could use the intelligence network she had woven to facilitate his own actions.
Now that Li Wan'er has interfered with the Red Blood Cult's investigation, it has indeed exceeded the scope of the original agreement.
He thought for a moment and said calmly, "If you handle this matter properly, I will naturally not treat you unfairly in the future."
Li Wan'er chuckled, her voice becoming more and more charming and seductive. "I was just joking with you. Why should we be so clear about the distinction between us?"
"As long as you need me, Wan'er can give me everything..."
"Dududu-"
However, before she could finish her words, only a cold and rapid busy tone came from the receiver.
"……This guy!"
Li Wan'er was stunned for a moment when she heard the busy tone, and then she took the phone away from her ear in annoyance.
She bit her plump lower lip with her pearly teeth, and a hint of confusion and competitiveness flashed across her charming eyes.
Is this guy really a blockhead?
With my attitude, I can't even cause a ripple?
She raised her body slightly with some reluctance, and her silk nightgown slipped down slightly with her movement, revealing a section of white and smooth shoulder and neck line.
This body gave her many conveniences, but also allowed her to see the true face of men.
But Jiang Xiaochuan seems to be quite different.
Even if she knew that you wanted to use him, he could just put on his pants and deny it, but he just refused to accept it. An indescribable emotion surged in Li Wan'er's heart.
"Brother Jiang, what happened?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaochuan looked a little unhappy, Zhuge Mingkong said with concern.
"It's okay." Jiang Xiaochuan took a deep breath, forced himself to cheer up, and responded with a forced smile.
Zhuge Mingkong has already taken on a lot for him, there is no need to involve him in this matter.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say."
Zhuge Mingkong patted Jiang Xiaochuan on the shoulder and said, "I have already informed the family. As long as the other party is still in the capital, I believe there will be news tomorrow."
The ability of the Zhuge family is naturally beyond doubt. Jiang Xiaochuan looked up at the deep night sky, but felt a little depressed in his heart.
"Brother Jiang, what are your plans next?"
Zhuge Mingkong asked.
Jiang Xiaochuan had originally planned to leave the capital after getting the Shengyun Grass today and use the alchemy furnace to make pills.
But now the Holy Yun Grass was lost. After thinking for a moment, he decided to wait another day and immediately expressed his idea.
Zhuge Mingkong nodded and said, "I will arrange a completely safe place for you to stay. No matter what the outcome tomorrow, you will return to Jinghai first."
Jiang Xiaochuan nodded in agreement. There was still a mess waiting to be cleaned up in Jinghai... I hope Zhuo Feng's plan can be implemented smoothly.
The two walked away side by side. Suddenly, Jiang Xiaochuan seemed to have noticed something, stopped abruptly, and looked into the distance.
He felt a gloomy and ghostly aura slowly spreading.
Jiang Xiaochuan has a very strong sense of perception, and the ghostly aura is extremely fierce, which is naturally incompatible with his pure yang body.
It was fine when the other party's breath was hidden, but when it was released, he instantly noticed it.
Jiang Xiaochuan was quite familiar with this ghostly aura, which was exactly what was emitted from the mysterious ghost gentleman today.
"what happened?"
Zhuge Mingkong noticed Jiang Xiaochuan's abnormality and asked in confusion.
Jiang Xiaochuan still looked into the distance, and asked solemnly, "Do you know where the Situ family is?"
Zhuge Mingkong was stunned at first, then pointed in the opposite direction of Jiang Xiaochuan's gaze.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan's expression became more serious, and he felt that something was fishy.
"The old ghost following Situ Hong is ahead of us."
The two exchanged a glance, and Jiang Xiaochuan said slowly, "Holy Essence Grass is extremely rare. Considering the virtues of that old ghost and Situ Hong, perhaps..."
Seeing the same guess in each other's eyes, the two of them ran towards that direction together in tacit understanding.
At this time, in an alley in a residential area, Fatty Wang took off his disguise, revealing his slightly bloated figure.
His clothes were tattered, his face was in disarray, and he was looking ahead vigilantly.
On the opposite side, Mr. Ghost soared into the air, and wisps of ghost energy condensed into a black net that seemed as solid as a substance, blocking the retreat and trapping Fatty Wang in a dead end.
Behind him, Situ Hong leaned leisurely against the wall, a playful smile on his lips, enjoying this cat and mouse game.
"Senior, I've already told you that I've already left that grass along the way. If you don't believe me, I can take you to find it."
Fatty Wang said with a smile on his face and a flattering look.
"What else do you want to play?" Mr. Ghost's voice was low and a little angry.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that his black robe was torn in several places, and it was obvious that he had suffered at the hands of this fat man.
Fatty Wang's eyes rolled around, and he quickly waved his hands, saying, "I swear, I didn't lie to you. Even if you sucked me dry, I still couldn't get that herb out."
Mr. Ghost laughed sinisterly and said, "Sucking you dry is too easy for you. I will use your blood to sacrifice to the Yinming Pearl and make you the first undead under my command."
As he spoke, he summoned the Yinming Pearl, which emitted a strange glow in the dark night, like a greedy living pupil.
The temperature around suddenly dropped, and there seemed to be faint cries of wild ghosts, and the yin energy became increasingly heavy.
Fatty Wang's Adam's apple moved stiffly, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Are you afraid?"
Mr. Ghost laughed like a night owl and said slowly, "As long as you hand over the Holy Essence Grass, I will still let you go."
Fatty Wang was startled, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Senior, I've told you the truth. I really can't afford it."
Mr. Ghost snorted coldly, "Stop pretending! If you know what's good for you, hand it over quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape today."
Fatty Wang was complaining in his heart. He thought everything would be fine if he got rid of Jiang Xiaochuan, but he didn't expect to meet this troublesome ghost again.
He rolled his eyes and said pitifully, "Senior, even if I really took it, I've already passed it on to someone else. It would be useless even if you kill me."
Mr. Ghost's face darkened, and he clearly lost his patience. "It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin. Don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, he waved his hands, and the big black net quickly shrank towards Fatty Wang.
At this moment, Fatty Wang's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted, "Someone is coming!"
