Chapter 121 Peeking at the Palace Master
First floor living room, Li Xianzong pulled up a high-backed chair and sat inside.
On the soft sofa, a mature and intellectual woman lay lazily on her side. She wore black-framed glasses, her features cold and beautiful, her aloof and serious posture resembling that of a homeroom teacher.
However, beneath the thin gauze clothing, her exquisite body formed a stark contrast to her temperament.
To ordinary men, such a bewitching beauty would be enough to make their mouths dry and their hearts pound. Even if there were countless others who shared the same sentiment, they would indulge in it willingly.
But Li Xianzong was not moved by her beauty at all, and spoke of his purpose for visiting:
"I need an item that can restrain high-level spirits, at least of the Saint realm."
Yi Chuanmei lay on her side, her snow-white arm supporting her delicate head, her voice cold and clear: "Twenty million in cash, or items and materials of the same level."
Li Xianzong grinned: "No money."
If he didn't consider moral values, the fastest way for a Bewitchment Demon to make money would be to establish a "cult", bewitching a large number of people to offer tributes, so that he could accumulate a large amount of cash in a short period of time.
A more reliable route would be to bewitch the public, gather followers, and then establish a company to earn money through legal means.
But in this way, he would face the risk of being investigated by the authorities, and all his years of hard work might be in vain. Furthermore, most Bewitchment Demons do not have the energy, interest, or ability to manage a company.
Yi Chuanmei had expected this, and mocked:
"Among the three major professions, only you Military Controller are the poorest, your minds filled with nothing but killing and destruction."
In front of Li Xianzong, she reached into her snowy cleavage and pulled out a needle box. Inside the box were three jet-black fine needles. She said:
"I suggest you choose consumables, three Soul-Breaking Needles, three million in cash. You can also replace them with equivalent items and materials. They can severely injure level 4 spirits, and level 5 spirits will also suffer considerable damage. As for level 6..."
She chuckled: "I think you have a brain, you won't provoke enemies of that level."
"Deal, I'll give it to you within three days," Li Xianzong said.
"No, no, no," Yi Chuanmei shook her finger:
"You still owe me ten strong and orderly practitioners. This is what you promised me. Only when you bring the orderly practitioners to me can I proceed with the next transaction with you.
"To block Fu Qingyang for you, I suffered a serious injury. Fu Qingyang is indeed one of the best of the younger generation of the Five Elements Alliance."
Speaking of this, her face flushed red, and she squeezed her legs together, infatuated:
"His sword momentum is unstoppable, like a mountain collapsing, like a tsunami. It's so great, this is the ultimate experience!"
Li Xianzong looked at her morbid expression and cursed in his heart: "Pervert!"
"Okay, I will capture ten orderly practitioners for you within half a month."
He had to obtain an item that targeted high-level spirits, even if it was a consumable. Only in this way could he deal with Yuanshi Tianzun's trump card.
Before the large-scale killing instance opened, he had to improve himself as much as possible.
Hunting Yuanshi Tianzun would first allow him to hone himself and quickly improve. Second, the bounty was generous, and the bonus and items were tempting enough. Finally, that kid had a lot of items on him, he was filthy rich.
Even without this trial mission, Li Xianzong would have tried to hunt Yuanshi Tianzun.
Hua Yu Hotel.
A café with an open-air balcony. Under the parasol, Xie Lingxi held a silver spoon and gently stirred her coffee, the ice cubes clinking against the glass.
"Yuanshi gege, you haven't contacted me for a long time."
Xie Lingxi pouted, aggrieved: "I stayed in Songhai for you, but why have you been ignoring me?"
Zhang Yuanqing, sitting across from her, suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. It was my fault, I shouldn't have ignored you. Let's go, I'll take you back to my room and let you know how hot gege is."
"You're so annoying~" The little green tea giggled, suddenly wrinkling her nose and saying, "Yuanshi gege, you don't look handsome like this at all. I still prefer you the way you were before."
Zhang Yuanqing had disguised himself as Wang Tai again, with ordinary features and a dull look that suggested he wasn't good at socializing.
"Better safe than sorry. You should know that Li Xianzong is watching me," Zhang Yuanqing said, taking a sip of his coffee.
Xie Lingxi then said: "Yuanshi gege, I heard that you broke into the hospital alone yesterday, killed the gangsters with your own strength, and held up Li Xianzong, making a huge contribution to the official rescue of the hostages. You are really amazing."
See, this is the benefit of green tea! Zhang Yuanqing sighed:
"No matter what, I was still taught a lesson. The gap between me and Li Xianzong is very large."
"Because Yuanshi gege hasn't reached level 3 yet. When you come out of the spirit realm next time, you will be able to easily defeat Li Xianzong." Xie Lingxi supported her chin with one hand and stirred her coffee with the other. Under her long eyelashes were moist and bright eyes:
"I have always believed in Yuanshi gege."
Zhang Yuanqing felt inexplicably comfortable: "Did you use soothing on me?"
"No way, what I said was all from the heart~"
The coffee was gradually finished amid Xie Lingxi's praise. Zhang Yuanqing's mentality had fully recovered, and there was no more frustration or heaviness.
The soothing ability of a Musician is indeed good, but the price is that my favorability towards Xie Lingxi has increased a lot. Zhang Yuanqing examined his heart, and the haze disappeared.
At this time, Xie Lingxi picked up the exquisite handbag that was placed on the table, opened the zipper, and took out a piece of black jade stone that flowed with dreamlike brilliance inside.
"Yuanshi gege, this is my gift."
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, "You want to give it to me?"
"Anyway, I can't use it," Xie Lingxi said with a smile: "I'm a weak and cute little girl, far away from disputes. It's a waste to hold the jade talisman, so it's better to give it to gege."
This gift is a bit too valuable. Although Zhang Yuanqing had secretly thought about how to trick her out of her jade talisman, he was just thinking about it and had no intention of turning it into reality.
It seems that she is also worried that I will be assassinated by Li Xianzong. No matter what she says, the reality of the gap is real.
So far, whether it is officials, friends, or even unrelated wild practitioners, they do not think he is Li Xianzong's opponent. They all feel that Yuanshi Tianzun has been targeted by Li Xianzong and is in big trouble.
"Keep it for yourself, I haven't fallen to that point yet."
Zhang Yuanqing pushed the jade talisman back. He was afraid that after getting the jade talisman, he would lose the determination and perseverance to practice fighting desperately.
Xie Lingxi did not continue to persuade him. She took back the jade talisman and said softly:
"Yuanshi gege, Palace Mistress jie-jie is also in the hotel, she wants to see you."
"Huh? That crazy and beautiful jie-jie is also in the hotel?"
Zhang Yuanqing was taken aback. He thought to himself, "Fortunately, I came with Wang Tai's face. If I showed my true face, that crazy bi*ch would have a lustful impulse and take me away to be her boy toy."
Xie Lingxi got up, took Yuanshi gege's arm, left the café, and returned to the room. Arriving outside the presidential suite, Xie Lingxi put the room card in Zhang Yuanqing's hand and whispered:
"Baimengshu."
"You go in."
Seeing that she had no intention of accompanying him, Zhang Yuanqing asked: "Aren't you coming in?"
Xie Lingxi shook her head repeatedly, avoiding him like the plague.
Mei-zi ah, your appearance makes me inexplicably flustered. Zhang Yuanqing watched the little green tea leave quickly. He didn't swipe the card immediately, but took out the "Eye of the Seer".
Speaking of which, he had never had the opportunity to use this item to pry into the inner thoughts of a big shot.
It's a good opportunity to test the attitude of this Kill-Stopping Palace Mistress towards him, and how crazy her heart really is. Zhang Yuanqing put on his sunglasses and swiped open the door.
"Beep beep~"
The door opened, and he entered the entrance hall. He saw the Kill-Stopping Palace Mistress wearing a long red ancient costume dress behind the desk facing the door. The chest and sleeves were embroidered with cloud and dragon patterns with gold thread.
Gorgeous and charming.
"Palace Mistress wants to see me?" Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
Under the silver mask, her agile and bright eyes scrutinized him, and she chuckled:
"You were beaten up by Li Xianzong, but you maintained a good mentality. I thought you would be depressed for a few days."
"Didn't I come to Xie Lingxi for psychological treatment?" Zhang Yuanqing replied: "The little girl is very good at comforting people. Being with her always brings inexplicable happiness."
After speaking, he observed the other party and keenly captured some details:
Her eyes tell me that she is not happy, her emotions are directed at me. I didn't provoke her...
The Kill-Stopping Palace Mistress sat upright behind the desk, playing with her sleeves, and said softly:
"I'm leaving Songhai recently to go north on business. Before I leave, do you want me to kill Li Xianzong for you? I don't want to hear that you died in Li Xianzong's hands when I return to Songhai, after all, you are my designated boy toy."
"Xie Lingxi is my favorite younger sister, you should be more intimate with her on weekdays."
Her worries are real, not teasing, but there are more complex emotions hidden. It seems that she doesn't want me to nod and agree to her letting me be more intimate with Xie Lingxi, but the tone and eyes carry a hint of warning...
"You're willing to help me?" Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up.
The Kill-Stopping Palace Mistress nodded slightly: "Five million, and I'll kill him for you."
Five million? Even if I sell myself, I can't earn five million ah. Eh, why did she have a feeling of revenge when she said five million. Zhang Yuanqing scrutinized her and analyzed her new thoughts:
She keeps staring at my glasses, her eyes are getting more and more dangerous. Not good, she wants to beat me, she realized that I was spying on her...
Zhang Yuanqing was startled in his heart, and he took off his sunglasses calmly and said:
"No need, I'll solve my own troubles myself."
Hearing this, the Kill-Stopping Palace Mistress's eyes curved up, as if she was very satisfied with his answer, and smiled:
"If you want to become a strong person who can stand alone, it's not okay to always rely on external forces. The road to the top must be walked out step by step. Li Xianzong is a strong enemy, but not an invincible enemy.
"If you are afraid because of the disastrous defeat in the hospital and agreed to my deal, then I will be very disappointed." She was indeed testing me just now.
The Kill-Stopping Palace Mistress said again: "You go, help me call that dead girl over."
I can see her "malice" without glasses. Poor little green tea. Zhang Yuanqing nodded and left the room.
As soon as he walked out of the room and turned to the elevator, he saw Xie Lingxi waiting there with a wicked smile.
"Eh, Yuanshi gege came out so quickly?" She looked disappointed and unwilling, and said, "Palace Mistress jie-jie didn't bully you, did she?"
"Why would she bully me?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
"She's just like that, she likes to bully people, she hangs people up every now and then. People were already ready to rush in to save Yuanshi gege."
"Does she bully you often?"
"Yes, she vents her anger on me whenever she's unhappy, and calls me dead girl every time she wants to bully me."
"Oh, so you're the dead girl."
"What do you mean, Yuanshi gege?" The smile on Xie Lingxi's face slowly disappeared.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at her with pity: "Palace Mistress just said, go help me call the dead girl over."
Xie Lingxi's face turned pale.
Zhang Yuanqing left Hua Yu Hotel, put on a baseball cap and mask, looked left and right, and confirmed that no one was stalking him before putting his hands in his pockets and walking along the street.
In the afternoon, he planned to find Guan Ya to learn fighting skills. This was agreed upon this morning.
The training location was in Fuziawan, where there were places specifically used for practicing fighting, and under the eyes of the centurion, there was no need to worry about assassinations and sneak attacks.
He didn't dare to go to the Security Department anymore.
Zhang Yuanqing was confident that with his physical fitness, it would not be difficult to get started with fighting skills. With the personal instruction of the old driver, who was known as a fighting genius, it was possible to make rapid progress in melee combat in the short term.
As long as he was willing to work hard.
"After improving my fighting skills, the next goal is to wait for the spirit realm to open." Just as he was thinking, the phone in his pocket rang. It was Fu Qingyang calling.
"Centurion, I was just about to come over." Zhang Yuanqing answered the phone.
Fu Qingyang said: "Elder Gou is back from Beijing. Come to me immediately."
"My item problem has been solved?" Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed.
Fu Qingyang hummed and said in a strange tone: "Come over as soon as possible, don't let the elder wait anxiously."
Don't let the elder wait anxiously? What does that mean? Zhang Yuanqing didn't understand. He thought to himself, "For this kind of small matter, does the elder need to wait for him in person?"
