"How is it not suitable! You're just afraid I'll steal your credit!"
Hearing Lu Fang's words, the headless corpse was furious and immediately retorted.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the headless corpse say this, Lu Fang glanced at him contemptuously. Could brute force be a plan?
The one in charge was not the headless corpse, but the one who had arrived. As daring and strategic as Lu Fang was, he dared not cause trouble in front of him.
The one who arrived was by no means ordinary, in terms of both courage and ambition.
This was another reason why Lu Fang wholeheartedly followed him.
"My lord, your subordinate has a plan that can allow us to obtain the blessing fruit's essence without lifting a finger!"
Lu Fang bowed to the one who arrived and said.
"Oh, tell me quickly!"
The one who arrived said this, picked up his cigar, and prepared to take out a lighter to ignite it.
The headless corpse saw his chance, dashed forward, and personally lit it for him.
"The blessing fruit is a gift bestowed upon mortals from birth, and we will utilize this destiny. Seizing the blessing fruit's essence does not necessarily require force; we can achieve it through other means, such as controlling their minds."
"Easier said than done. How can you control their minds? These are people; you can't turn everyone into lunatics for us to control!"
The headless corpse interjected, but the one who arrived remained silent.
Lu Fang completely ignored him and continued, "There's a saying in the mortal world: 'Those with blessings may lose them, and those without blessings may have their lifespans shortened'!"
"So what if there's such a saying? We are servants of Death; as long as we capture their souls, it doesn't matter if they have blessings or not!"
The headless corpse, emboldened by the one who arrived supporting him, no longer paid Lu Fang any mind and always butted in whenever there was an opportunity.
"Do you know why that saying exists?" Lu Fang turned and asked the headless corpse.
The headless corpse was caught off guard by this difficult question and didn't know how to answer.
"Because... because... their lives are cheap!"
The headless corpse, truly clueless, stammered his answer.
"That is all because of one thing!" Su Dan Novel Network
"What thing?"
The one who arrived also had this question and was about to ask when the headless corpse preempted him, so he swallowed his words.
This was also good; it made him appear less eager and more composed.
"Just two words: 'unholy lust'!"
"Hahaha, what's that supposed to mean? Seventy to eighty percent of the souls we collect in the Asura Realm are like that!"
The headless corpse was indifferent. What was this? He thought he had some brilliant plan, only to find it was just about finding such people. He could immediately find many such individuals.
Not only the headless corpse, but the one who arrived also understood it this way initially, though he did not express his opinion immediately.
"That saying is correct, but if we can exploit these two words, obtaining the blessing fruit's essence will be twice as effective with half the effort!"
"Hiss!" The one who arrived took a deep drag of his cigar and exhaled.
"Continue!"
"As long as the souls we send out follow this path, why worry that their blessing fruit's essence won't be automatically delivered?"
"How can this be done? Are we going to replace all the quest-takers with female ghosts? Wouldn't that be a waste to raise so many souls?"
The headless corpse questioned.
"Males are the same; they can pretend. In today's China, are such things scarce? On human chat apps, who knows if the person on the other end is male or female? Moreover, how can mortals see ghosts?"
Lu Fang's words were quite reasonable. The one who arrived understood his meaning and nodded approvingly.
"Good. Proceed according to your plan. You will be fully responsible for everything!"
As soon as the one who arrived finished speaking, the headless corpse knelt on the ground.
"My lord, your subordinate is also willing to offer his services. I can lead people to snatch it directly; that would be more straightforward!"
Hearing the headless corpse's insistence, the one who arrived sighed, "Alas! Fine."
In any endeavor, one must have multiple approaches, which is a fundamental principle. Lu Fang's plan was good, but it was not applicable in all situations. Moreover, the Asura Realm also needed to train its troops; they couldn't be without combat effectiveness when the time came, right?
With the permission of the one who arrived, Lu Fang began his plan.
He set his sights on Wukuai City, the provincial capital of Jiangjiu Province. Sandong City ranked only fifth in Jiangjiu Province, while Wukuai City was the undisputed largest city in Jiangjiu Province, even ranking within the top ten across all of China.
The reason Lu Fang chose to start here was also because Liu Sann Dao was not present, allowing him to do as he pleased.
Although Soul No. 5, whom they had dispatched earlier, did not return to the Asura Realm with the blessing fruit, Lu Fang did not mind at all.
Through the senses of the Fu Gen within the Taming Disk, Soul No. 5 was still alive in Wukuai City.
If another soul was dispatched this time, it would be equivalent to two souls completing the mission. What would be the effect? The target locked by Soul No. 5 had a large Fu Gen, implying abundant corresponding blessing fruits. Lu Fang decided to let Soul No. 7 also taste its Fu Ye.
...
Liu Sann Dao and Bai Suxiang were rushing to Wukuai City without stopping. He had to find the soul the water ghost mentioned as quickly as possible to prevent a tragedy.
The reason for his haste was that the targets locked by these souls could not be found in his manual of blessings, making it impossible to locate them accurately and swiftly.
Whether he could save a life depended on that person's fortune.
Although Bai Suxiang had the enhancement of the Qilin Jade, enabling her to fly, she was still a mortal. Before long, her stomach rumbled with hunger.
"Can we eat something first? We've been flying for so long, and I'm a bit tired!"
Bai Suxiang said, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her arm.
"Oh, alright!"
Liu Sann Dao agreed and with a flick of his wrist, they appeared on a street corner in Wukuai City.
It was afternoon, and there were few pedestrians.
Liu Sann Dao took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and brought Bai Suxiang onto the street.
Everything was done seamlessly, everything was done normally.
It was just two young men and women strolling, one dressed casually, the other in a dress.
As soon as Bai Suxiang stepped out from the corner, she scanned the shops along the roadside, looking for a restaurant to have a good meal.
Wukuai City, as the capital of Jiangjiu Province, surpassed Sandong City in terms of layout and environment. However, such planning easily made it difficult for outsiders to find places to eat and drink.
Bai Suxiang walked for a long time before she found a noodle restaurant.
The restaurant's signboard was not large, only about a meter wide. Red background with black characters, it looked like an old establishment.
Whether it was an old establishment or not was not important; what mattered most was the taste. As long as the taste was good, new and old shops were the same in people's hearts.
"Let's go have a bowl of noodles!" Bai Suxiang said, stepping through the door.
Liu Sann Dao nodded. He had no concept of hunger. He couldn't find the soul for the time being, so he decided to fill Bai Suxiang's stomach first.
As Bai Suxiang entered and took two steps, someone shouted, "What's wrong with you!"
