The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 624 Just the Master's Task
In his heart, Chen Xiao believed most of what Tian Zhao said. "Let's reach a temporary truce, live and let live... But there's still one thing. If I don't resolve it, I'll have no face to return home."
Tian Zhao nodded. "I understand. You're talking about the Dragon Vein."
*Chen Xiao thought,* *Looks like this big, fat woman has already thought up a plan.* So he asked, "What do you think is the solution to this?"
"The Dragon Vein originally came from Kyushu. If there's a way, you can take it back."
Tian Zhao's words left Chen Xiao speechless.
He really didn't have a way to move the Dragon Vein.
However, Chen Xiao wasn't without a countermeasure. He said righteously, "Since you stole it, you should naturally send it back!"
Tian Zhao smiled slightly. "Moving the Dragon Vein isn't easy. Five hundred years ago, due to years of war, coupled with the lack of public awareness, it didn't cause much impact."
"But now it's different. If we transport it by sea and land again, just having someone take a short video and post it online would disrupt the existing order and worldview of this world."
"Besides, I want to state that we didn't steal this Dragon Vein back then!"
When she said the first two sentences, Chen Xiao thought they made sense.
But when he heard the last sentence, Chen Xiao's expression wasn't so good.
"What, if it wasn't stolen, could it have been taken back openly and honestly?"
"We were entrusted by someone to temporarily keep it safe. When the time comes, it will naturally be returned to Kyushu, because that is also our homeland."
Tian Zhao said earnestly.
"You say Kyushu is your homeland?"
Chen Xiao was immediately shocked. "Are you kidding me? If Kyushu is your homeland, then why do you appear in Dongyang's myths?"
"This... it's a long story, and it involves the secrets of our divine race. I can't reveal it. Please don't ask, Mr. Chen."
Tian Zhao said imploringly.
"Fine, I'll leave this matter for now. You said you were entrusted to move the Dragon Vein, what's that about? Who entrusted you to do this?"
Chen Xiao's tone was icy.
Because he felt that Tian Zhao was just making excuses to whitewash their shameless behavior.
"I didn't participate in this matter personally, but according to what my father, Izanagi, said, he was entrusted by a senior expert from Kyushu to do this. He didn't know the expert's name. In fact, no one knows who this senior is."
"He never shows his true face, and those who know him call him—Iron Man."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao frowned directly. "Iron Man again? Why is he everywhere?"
"Oh? Mr. Chen, do you know Senior Iron Man?"
Tian Zhao asked curiously when she saw this.
Chen Xiao shook his head. "I don't know him, I've just heard of him. If it's him... forget it, I believe you. The Dragon Vein will stay in Dongyang for now. When I think of a way, I'll come back to move it."
"Very well."
Tian Zhao nodded.
"Okay, then that's it, let's say goodbye!"
Chen Xiao cupped his fist at Tian Zhao.
"Mr. Chen, until we meet again. I hope we'll be friends next time we meet."
Tian Zhao said with a smile.
"Friends are out of the question, let's just say we're not enemies."
Chen Xiao said faintly.
At this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly noticed Araki Kamiko, who had been standing beside her with her head lowered.
Chen Xiao suddenly changed his mind and said to Tian Zhao, "If you help me with one more thing, then we'll be friends!"
"Please speak, Mr. Chen."
"Araki Kamiko is my person. In the future, I want her to lead the Dongyang paranormal world, but she's alone and weak here. Can you help her out?"
Although Chen Xiao's arrival caused heavy losses to the Dongyang paranormal world, it wasn't enough to wipe it out.
As long as it still exists, it needs a leader.
It used to be the Emperor, but in the future, it could be Araki Kamiko.
When Tian Zhao heard Chen Xiao's words, she fell silent.
Chen Xiao's behavior was a bit like pulling stool on someone's neck, and the kind that causes diarrhea.
But after thinking for a moment, she actually agreed.
"That's naturally no problem. Don't forget, before Kamiko became your person, she was my servant. Now, she's even more of a testament to our friendship. I will naturally help her with all my strength."
Knowing that Araki Kamiko was Chen Xiao's spokesperson in Dongyang, Tian Zhao still agreed to Chen Xiao's request, which was enough to prove her sincerity, and Chen Xiao completely dispelled the doubts in his heart.
However, what Chen Xiao didn't expect was that even though Tian Zhao had agreed, Araki Kamiko didn't want to.
"Master, Kamiko wants to stay by Master's side. Does Master not want Kamiko anymore?"
Araki Kamiko asked with tears in her eyes.
"Uh, this..."
Chen Xiao didn't expect Araki Kamiko to be so deeply involved in the act. Saying he would take her as his bitch was just a whim, just teasing her a bit.
He never thought that Araki Kamiko would be so infatuated with him.
Ah, for a man, too much charm isn't a good thing either.
"Kamiko, Master doesn't not want you. Master just hopes you can stay here and work for Master."
Chen Xiao pinched Araki Kamiko's chin and said gently, "Kamiko, can you do it?"
"Master, Kamiko can do it. Kamiko will definitely live up to her mission!"
Araki Kamiko said with an excited expression.
She really did what she said. From then on, she not only cultivated diligently herself, but also managed the Dongyang paranormal world in an orderly manner.
Someone once asked her why she worked so hard and desperately, when she had already achieved so much.
Araki Kamiko smiled without saying a word, but thought sweetly in her heart, "Why else? It's Master's mission!"
Chen Xiao also gave her a reward that night. The next morning, Chen Xiao went to the airport and boarded a plane back home.
Leaving Araki Kamiko, who was still sleeping, and the little bit of red on the sheets.
...
Near noon, Chen Xiao returned to Jiang City. As soon as he got off the plane, he was stopped by two young men.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, please come with us."
One of them said.
Chen Xiao looked at the two of them. They were both martial artists with not very strong strength.
However, they were both upright and their eyes were full of determination.
Presumably, they were two soldiers, so Chen Xiao didn't blame them for their disrespect.
As soon as they finished speaking, a scolding came from behind, "How do you talk to Mr. Chen? Have you forgotten what I taught you? Respect, you must be respectful, understand! Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise you'll be in big trouble if you anger Mr. Chen..."
The speaker was Chen Xiao's acquaintance, Liu Yu from the Vermilion Bird Division of the Celestial Strategy Army.
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and interrupted her 'reprimand'.
"Alright, alright, stop acting with me. I didn't blame them. Tell me, what do you want?"
Exposed, Liu Yu approached with an embarrassed expression and said softly, "Mr. Chen, the Military God wants to see you!"
