Chapter 219 Male Concubine
"Bang!"
Behind him came the explosive sound of porcelain shattering into pieces and the splattering of mud.
Zhang Yuanqing, who had darted out, rolled once, pressed his palm against the ground, and sprang up. He steadied himself and looked back.
What had fallen was a pot of bonsai.
"+…..…" Looking at the shattered porcelain shards and mud, Zhang Yuanqing blurted out a national essence.
If that thing had hit his head, even as a Night Walker, he would have suffered a head injury. An ordinary person would have had no chance of rescue and would have died on the spot.
My bad luck is getting more and more exaggerated. At least the car accident this morning was clear and gave me a chance to react.
His heart felt heavy.
"Honk, honk~"
At this moment, the white car not far away honked, and Xiaoyuan's bright and elegant face peeked out, saying calmly:
"Get in the car!"
Zhang Yuanqing stopped dwelling on the problem of falling objects from a height and jogged to the passenger seat. It was rush hour, and there were many residents (aunts and uncles) coming and going in the neighborhood. They were startled by the loud crash of the bonsai just now and turned to look this way.
Hopefully, tomorrow there won't be rumors of a retired police chief's grandson hooking up with a rich woman from society... Zhang Yuanqing silently prayed and slammed the car door shut with a bang.
Xiaoyuan stepped on the gas and sped away.
The car did not leave the neighborhood but instead circled around and parked in a secluded parking space.
Zhang Yuanqing turned his head to admire her profile. This woman had a beautiful profile, with a tall and delicate nose and a slightly upturned chin. The curve of her cheek was graceful.
Whether a person's features are three-dimensional mainly depends on the nose, and whether the face shape is beautiful depends on whether the chin is upturned.
From this angle, he could clearly see her curled and upturned eyelashes.
Her beauty was different from Xiaoyi's cuteness, Guan Ya's exquisite charm, and the little green tea's fresh and refined beauty. Her features were bright and elegant, the kind that could be put on a stage as a leader without people whispering "a woman can't run a household."
This was an element that many glamorous, delicate, charming, and cute women did not possess. In addition, Xiaoyuan was a "plain" woman. Her expression, her temperament, her personality, were all plain.
Clean and cold.
Xiaoyuan put the gear in neutral, engaged the handbrake, and said coldly:
"Do you want me to gouge out your eyeballs?"
Zhang Yuanqing then realized that under his burning gaze, Xiaoyuan Auntie's body was a little stiff and her expression a little tense.
Don't be so nervous, the bet was a joke... Zhang Yuanqing coughed and started to talk about business, his tone slightly low:
"Xiaoyuan Auntie, am I cursed?"
Seeing that he didn't mention the bet, Xiaoyuan's expression was still calm, but her facial expression relaxed slightly, and she said calmly:
"Xuefu, a type of curse.
"Compared to curse killing, its manifestation is more gentle. Those who are cursed will be plagued by bad luck for a period of time, everything will go wrong, and finally, they will die in an accident."
Through the observation just now, and the way the bonsai fell, she knew what curse Yuanshi Tianzun had been struck by.
"Your Yintang is dark, and black energy surrounds your spiritual body. This is a Saint-level curse. Your bad luck will become more and more terrible. At most, in three days, you will die unexpectedly."
As expected, it was a curse, at most three days, die unexpectedly... Zhang Yuanqing's heart was awe-stricken, and he decisively summoned the Demon Subduing Pestle.
With a flash of yellow light, the rather heavy copper pestle landed in his palm. He didn't rush to break the curse but instead asked:
"Is there any way to reverse-locate the caster? Also, I remember that the medium of the curse is different, and the effect is also different. This kind of curse that can force me to death probably controls my flesh and blood, right?
Now he was no longer the greenhorn he was when he first entered the profession.
Breaking the curse was simple, but the core of the matter was not to break the curse but to find the caster.
Understand what medium the caster used to cast the curse. If it was flesh and blood, then next time, maybe he would be directly curse-killed. <
He couldn't keep himself in a state of purification all the time. If he did, he would be sucked into a dried corpse by the Demon Subduing Pestle before being killed by the curse.
Moreover, he could be vigilant when he was awake, but what about when he was resting?
Curse-killing was a matter of an instant, and he wouldn't be able to react at all when he was asleep. Xiaoyuan's eyes showed appreciation, and then she shook her head:
"There is no such method. Why don't you think about who you have offended recently?"
Unable to reverse-lock the caster... Zhang Yuanqing immediately frowned. Then he must find the caster in a short time.
Looking at the Yuanshi Tianzun who was deep in thought, she continued to answer the second question:
"The curse you are under is extremely strong. The caster should have obtained your flesh and blood and used it as a medium to cast the curse, rather than photos and birthdates."
Zhang Yuanqing's guess was confirmed, and his heart became heavier.
"Besides Black Impermanence, I have no grudges with the Spiritualist Society. Of course, with my current reputation, the Spiritualist Society doesn't need a reason to kill me. I have too many enemies, and I really can't distinguish them..."
Xiaoyuan's eyes hid worry, and her tone was calm:
"Change your thinking. Why doesn't the caster directly curse-kill you? Is it for another purpose, or are they afraid of something? You haven't been injured or bled recently, so who has the opportunity to take your blood?"
As a witch and Gu master, her understanding of her profession far exceeded Yuanshi Tianzun's, and her thinking was clearer.
Zhang Yuanqing leaned back in his chair and lowered his head to ponder.
If the person cursing me is an evil profession, they should directly curse-kill me. I haven't heard of evil professions rewarding people with heads... If it's not an evil profession, then they control a cursed item... Xuefu instead of curse-killing, well, Xuefu's death is more obscure...
Then his identity is likely to be an orderly profession, or even someone from the official side. He is afraid that directly curse-killing me will attract the attention of the high-level officials of the Songhai branch.
After all, even the elders are extremely concerned about my current identity. If I am inexplicably curse-killed, the elders will definitely investigate. The death method of Xuefu is more gentle and more difficult to detect the clues.
Besides the arena competition, I haven't been injured these past few days. In the arena competition, who has touched my flesh and blood...
Zhang Yuanqing quickly locked on three people: the Maoshan Taoist, Zhao Chenghuang, and Qingsongzi. Among the three, Zhao Chenghuang was the most suspicious, followed by the Maoshan Taoist, and Qingsongzi was the least suspicious. The latter two should not have Saint-level witchcraft Gu items, and their hatred towards him has not reached this point.
If Zhao Chenghuang wants to harm me, then this matter must be reported to Fu Qingyang, and he will come forward, or he will report to the elders... Zhang Yuanqing already had an idea in his mind.
"If you need my help, just ask." Seeing his eyes light up, Xiaoyuan knew that Yuanshi Tianzun had already thought it through.
"No need! You can give me an accurate answer, which is the greatest help to me. I will handle it myself," Zhang Yuanqing said.
Involving the Taiyi Sect, Xiaoyuan couldn't intervene. Xiaoyuan nodded:
"No matter whether this matter is resolved or not, remember to notify me."
"Okay!" Zhang Yuanqing opened the car door and was about to say goodbye and leave when Xiaoyuan suddenly asked again, "How is Kou Beiyue's matter?"
"Not forgotten, the superiors told me to wait for news, but there has been no reply yet." Zhang Yuanqing glanced at her: "I will notify you when there is news."
After speaking, he got out of the car, and gently closed the car door.
After only taking two steps, Xiaoyuan's smiling voice floated out of the car window behind him:
"Congratulations on winning the championship!"
In the bedroom, Zhang Yuanqing locked the door and dialed Fu Qingyang's phone: "Centurion, I've been cursed." "What's going on?" The voice on the phone sank.
He told Fu Qingyang everything about his unusual bad luck today and the process of deliberately finding the witchcraft Gu master in the No Trace Hotel to observe.
Of course, there were also three suspects. Fu Qingyang pondered for a few seconds, and then slowly said:
"I know, I will reply to you tomorrow at the latest." "Okay!"
Zhang Yuanqing said, waiting for the other party to hang up, but after waiting for a few seconds, Fu Qingyang did not hang up.
Zhang Yuanqing immediately said:
"Thank you, Centurion, Centurion's prestige overwhelms his peers, he looks down on Taiyi, lives as long as the heavens, and unifies the five elements."
"Dudu~"
The other side hung up.
While his grandmother's dinner wasn't ready yet, Zhang Yuanqing sat in an ergonomic chair, tapping his fingers on the table.
"At most ten days, the slaughter instance will open. My second exclusive spirit realm is also coming soon. The exclusive spirit realm and the slaughter instance do not conflict, but I don't know which one will come first."
These days, because of the arena competition, his speed of reading strategies has slowed down. Now that he has won the championship, he has to pick up his homework.
"The single-player spirit realm is dangerous and unpredictable. With the hidden score of my character card, I am likely to encounter an S-level or A-level again, so I only need to look at the instance strategies below A-level."
"Alas, every time I enter a single-player spirit realm, the Songhai branch has to spend a lot of money to buy strategies from the Taiyi Sect. I feel a little embarrassed..."
The Five Elements Alliance does not have Night Walkers, so the exclusive spirit realm strategies for this profession are very scarce.
There are only a few trial missions or low-level instance strategies. Therefore, before the opening of his second exclusive spirit realm, the Songhai branch purchased many high-difficulty Night Walker instance strategies from the Taiyi Sect.
Although the two S-level instances that Zhang Yuanqing conquered sold for a good price, offsetting a portion of it, the Songhai branch still spent a huge amount of funds and a certain number of props.
In addition, the extraordinary realm is okay, but when he reaches the Saint realm in the future, the value of the instance strategies will greatly increase, and the Taiyi Sect will definitely ask for a high price.
This is the benefit of having high merit. The organization will spare no effort and at any cost to cultivate him. If he were an ordinary Night Walker, he would probably have to resign himself to fate.
"The single-player spirit realm is too dangerous. Even with my current strength, I can't take it lightly. I have to add a layer of insurance for myself."
Thinking of this, he took out his phone and sent a message to Xie Lingxi. Yuanshi Tianzun: "Lingxi sister, I have something I want to see the Palace Master about."
Little Green Tea: "Okay, I'll pass it on for you."
Zhang Yuanqing wanted to buy some life essence from the Palace Master of the Killing Palace. This thing was a strategic material, extremely precious, and the production of the Le and Shi families was limited. Therefore, within the Five Elements Alliance, only the executive had the qualification to apply for its use.
And they could only apply for diluted life essence.
Although Zhang Yuanqing had high merit, he was not yet an executive, so according to the rules, he could not apply. Although he could ask Fu Qingyang for help, if the Palace Master of the Killing Palace could give him concentrated life essence, why apply for diluted life essence?
He chatted with Little Green Tea until his grandmother called him to eat in the living room, and Zhang Yuanqing finally got a confirmed reply:
Little Green Tea: "Palace Master Sister said, midnight, same old place. Humph, you all have secret tryst places, I'm not happy, I'm not happy [hands on hips, angry]"
Yuanshi Tianzun: "When you come of age, you can come with Palace Master Sister." He closed the phone screen and went out to eat.
At the dinner table, his aunt chattered non-stop to his grandmother and grandfather about her shopping experience today.
His grandmother frowned as she listened, looking at her grandson:
"In the future, if you encounter someone provoking you, never fight. Call your cousin directly."
Then she instructed her daughter: "You too!"
In a place like Songhai, it was common to be accosted because of beauty, but it was rare to be beaten for ignoring the accosting. After dinner, Zhang Yuanqing received a call from Fu Qingyang. "The person who cursed you has been found out. It's Zhu Rong, Chi Yuean's wife." "Zhu Rong?" Zhang Yuanqing blurted out in surprise.
This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This result was beyond his expectations. Zhang Yuanqing asked in surprise:
"How did she get my blood?" Fu Qingyang said:
"It was Qingsongzi. He whipped you once in the instance competition. That was when he took your blood and kept it in a prop.
"He had a deal with Zhu Rong. As long as he got your blood, Zhu Rong would become his lover. Qingsongzi is a wood demon and couldn't resist this temptation.
"According to Qingsongzi's confession, Zhu Rong's starting point was... to train you into a gigolo." Zhang Yuanqing: ""
He was shocked and felt insulted at the same time.
The reason why he listed Qingsongzi as the least suspicious object was mainly because Qingsongzi had no motive, and he did not know the agreement they had reached in secret.
Chi Yuean was indeed curse-killed. From this point of view, the person who killed him was Zhu Rong... Was it because I destroyed her secret channel for making black money, so she wanted to retaliate against me? Or did my attitude of wanting to pursue the matter to the end that day make her feel threatened?
She cursed me in order to train me into a gigolo? This is humiliating me.
Fu Qingyang said: "I have already sent people to deploy and rushed to the Zhu family overnight. The arrest can be carried out by this morning at the latest. If Qingsongzi is telling the truth, then our disposal of Zhu Rong will be very limited."
The Five Elements Alliance has a way to make Zhu Rong tell the truth. In case Qingsongzi is telling the truth... Curse-killing Yuanshi Tianzun and wanting to sleep with Yuanshi Tianzun are two different concepts.
If a direct descendant of the Zhu family wants to kill Yuanshi Tianzun, the Five Elements Alliance will definitely punish her severely. Life imprisonment is a light punishment.
But if a direct descendant of the Zhu family just wants to sleep with Yuanshi Tianzun... The Zhu family is a spirit realm family, not a Jianghu gang that can be bullied at will, and they have close ties and deep interests with the official side.
The Five Elements Alliance will of course punish her, but they will not execute a direct descendant of the Zhu family for this reason.
"How to punish her, the high-level officials will naturally discuss it, Centurion, the most important thing now is to take back the cursed medium. Also, the Copper Sparrow Tower case can also be investigated now while we have the chance," Zhang Yuanqing said.
"Naturally!"
Fu Qingyang said and ended the call.
"We can just use this incident to bring the Copper Sparrow Tower case to an end."
Damn it, she wants to sleep with me, if she wants to sleep with me, she should have said so earlier. Just give me a hotel room number... Zhang Yuanqing slammed his phone on the bed with a gloomy face.
...Midnight.
Coffee shop opposite the Kangyang District Security Bureau.
Zhang Yuanqing sat at a small round table, looking at the Palace Master of the Killing Palace opposite him, and said, "Palace Master, I want to buy a few bottles of life essence."
The Palace Master of the Killing Palace gently stirred her coffee with a silver spoon in her elegant hand and said:
"Life essence is very difficult to manufacture, and the materials are scarce and precious. I can give you two bottles at most, 100,000 each."
Diluted life essence can sell for two to three million on the black market, and it is often priceless.
100,000 per bottle, this is not a discounted price, this is a price for adultery... Zhang Yuanqing immediately said:
"Okay!"
After the transaction was completed, the Palace Master of the Killing Palace took a sip of coffee and chuckled, "Your Yintang is dark. Have you been plagued by bad luck recently?"
She can actually see it... Zhang Yuanqing nodded and told her about being cursed by Zhu Rong, hiding the matter of being a gigolo.
After all, he had to save face.
The Palace Master of the Killing Palace said "Oh" and raised the corner of her mouth:
"That woman has been twisted in her heart since she was trained by the Demon Lord. She especially hates Night Walkers. No wonder she didn't curse-kill you, but Xuefu you. I think she will contact you in the next day or two, threatening you with the curse, tempting you with her beauty, and training you into an obedient gigolo. Tsk tsk..."
You don't need to mention this... Zhang Yuanqing forced a smile. She won't have the chance. My brother-in-law has already taken action. ps: I will update the wrong words first and correct them later.
