"Interesting …" Chen Mu's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched his subordinate speak so calmly in front of him. It was as if he had become a completely different person.
As the eldest son of the Chen family, he had been exposed to much knowledge regarding cultivation from a young age. This was something that the four major Dao Colleges could not compare with. After all, the four major Dao Colleges had to nurture too many people. For the Chen family of the Five Generation Sky Clan, they only had to nurture their own descendants.
The Five Generation Sky Clan was also suspected of having secretly landed on the ancient greenish-bronze sword and brought back some mysterious cultivation techniques. Even Chen Mu did not have the right to know the truth of this matter. However, he knew very well that his family had more knowledge regarding cultivation than the other political forces.
For example … he knew that there was a saying in this world about possession. Although one had to reach the level of Yuanying in order to do so, he knew that apart from possession, there were seven or eight other ways to take over someone's mind and control them as if they were puppets. Even though he couldn't execute any of them, he knew that those who could do so were all experts.
Therefore, he didn't act rashly when faced with this subordinate who had suddenly appeared before him. Although he was wary, he wasn't afraid either. His Dao Protectors aside, the protection that Laozu had given him gave him made him confident that he could hold out for a while even if he were to face an expert. He could stall for time and wait for reinforcements.
At the same time, Chen Mu was also curious about the master that his former subordinate had mentioned. He had never liked Wang Baole to begin with and hated him to the core. Naturally, he wouldn't help capture him. Therefore, after taking a long, meaningful look at his former subordinate, Chen Mu sat there without saying a word.
His tacit approval didn't need to be said. It was enough to express his thoughts. The middle-aged cultivator smiled faintly.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, my master only has one target, and that is Wang Baole. However, due to some special circumstances, he is unable to act personally. Therefore, he needs your help."
"And after the matter is settled, my master promised to give you a peak Core Formation puppet as thanks!"
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and sneered in his heart. He really felt that the other party's words were too abrupt and not very convincing. Moreover, he did not hide the fact that he wanted to kill Wang Baole with a borrowed knife. Although he also wanted to kill Wang Baole, he was not stupid. How could he not see that he was being used by others?
Because of that, any interest he had felt faded away. He was just about to send the guest off when the middle-aged Cultivator smiled again and took the initiative to leave. However, before he left, he left behind a small drum!
The small drum was blood-colored, and as soon as it was taken out, it immediately exuded a thick stench of blood. There was also an indescribable evil that spread out from within it. At the same time, it exuded a shocking pressure. This pressure was on the same level as that of a perfected Core Formation cultivator. This caused Chen Mu's expression to change.
"This is the seed of the puppet. Fellow Daoist Chen, you can consider it. If you agree, you can sound the drum. When the time comes, my master will tell you the method to nurture this seed." After the middle-aged Cultivator finished speaking, he took a few steps back and turned to leave. As he walked away, his body silently combusted. When he walked out of the house, his body had already turned into a pile of ash that dissipated into the air.
Looking at the small drum that was filled with an evil aura, then looking at the body that had self-combusted under his hands, Chen Mu's eyes instantly became serious. He had no choice but to take this matter seriously.
However, he did not touch the small drum rashly. Instead, after thinking about it, he immediately summoned someone to send the item back to his family for them to study and decide.
At the same time, Wang Baole, who had left Wen Huai's district, returned to his residence with satisfaction after examining the item. He planned to continue cultivating and researching Dharmic Armaments.
At midnight on the same day, in the darkness and silence outside, Wang Baole's voice transmission ring and the door to his residence rang at almost the same time. Li Waner was here again …
Wang Baole was already prepared for this. After all, the Dark Qi in Li Waner's body could not be completely removed after one or two times. At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the voice transmission ring. He stood up and opened the door to his residence. He saw Li Waner standing outside.
Li Waner did not speak. She walked in expressionlessly. She did not even need Wang Baole to lead the way. She walked into the secret chamber.
Wang Baole blinked. After closing the door, he felt that this scene was a little strange. Especially when he thought of Li Waner's voluptuous figure, his heart could not help but beat faster. Therefore, he coughed dryly and entered the secret chamber to begin the treatment …
This time, both Wang Baole and Li Wan 'er were familiar with the healing process. That was especially so after the lights in the secret chamber were switched off. The healing process was the same as the day before, with an indescribable aura permeating the air.
But Wang Baole was still very satisfied with his character. He felt that he was a gentleman. Everything he had done was for the sake of healing and saving people. He was also very serious and responsible. He didn't have any ulterior motives. At most, he had been forced to familiarize himself with Li Wan 'er's body because he wanted to heal her.
Just like this, the days passed. Wang Baole and Li Waner's treatment seemed to be a secret and normal between the two of them. Their relationship was also very strange. During the day, the two of them would be in the office and everything would be normal. Whether it was reporting work or discussing matters with Wang Baole, Li Waner would be expressionless and cold. Her attitude was no different from before.
She would even have a heated argument with Wang Baole because of Chen Mu.
However, when night fell … Li Wan 'er took the initiative to visit Wang Baole's house and enter the secret chamber. Even though she still looked cold and aloof, as soon as the lights were extinguished and she began to heal her wounds, she seemed to transform into a different person. She panted heavily, and her body grew hotter. Even though the two of them didn't do anything out of line, the process of caressing and healing her wounds was more intimate than when they had been trapped in the catacombs.
This caused Wang Baole to be in a daze many times. He could not tell which was the real Li Waner. However, he felt that all of this was very exciting, especially when he argued with Li Waner during the day. When he treated her at night, he would grab a few more times. As for Li Waner, every time Wang Baole used his strength to treat her, her body would tremble. She would not resist or refuse at all …
There were even a few times when Wang Baole almost could not hold it in and wanted to end his virgin life. However, he always felt that he was a gentleman, so he controlled himself very well. He did not know if it was an illusion, but the more he acted like this, the colder Li Waner would be the next day. She would argue endlessly with Wang Baole over some issues regarding the city. He did not know if it was an illusion.
Gradually, Wang Baole got used to it. More than twenty days passed like this. When the Dark Qi in Li Waner's body was completely removed, Wang Baole ended the treatment with regret in his heart.
Before she left, Li Waner looked deeply at Wang Baole. Then, just like before, she left without saying anything.
"How rude," Wang Baole said regretfully. "She didn't even say thank you. It's been very tiring for me to treat her every day for the past half a month."
Another three days passed amidst his regrets. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Wang Baole left his residence and headed for the City Lord's office. In Li Wan 'er's office in the City Lord's office, she was dressed in a tight-fitting uniform. Her beautiful features exuded an icy aura as she glared angrily at Chen Mu, who was in her office.
"You don't have to look at me like that. The construction of the autonomous region requires more resources and support. That's why it's not too much to ask that you transfer your authority over the new city's formation to me." Chen Mu sat there and spoke calmly. He had come today to ask for the authority over the new city's formation. Only then would he be able to carry out some plans and make some preparations to prevent Li Waner from betraying him.
In reality, he had been bringing this up for more than half a month, but Li Waner had always refused. That was why he had gotten angry and come personally.
Li Waner breathed rapidly. If it had been her usual temper, she would have already exploded. However, when she thought about the alliance between her father and the Chen Family, even though she was frustrated and felt that Chen Mu had gone overboard, she still took a deep breath and tried her best to speak in a gentler tone.
"Chen Mu, once the authority is transferred, it will affect me greatly if anything goes wrong. We need to discuss this matter at length. Furthermore, my purpose for coming here is to protect you …"
"Don't talk about protecting me. Your purpose for coming here is to make it easier for you to hook up with that lover of yours, Wang Baole!" Chen Mu frowned and his gaze turned cold. In order to achieve his goal, he decided to provoke Li Waner.
"Chen Mu!" Li Waner slammed the table when she heard this. She could no longer control her temper.
"You want to slam the table with me?" Chen Mu suddenly laughed and slammed the table as well. After a loud bang, he threw a jade slip at Li Waner.
"Look at the video in this jade slip. Li Waner, I'm telling you, you have to give it to me even if you don't want to. Otherwise, I'll send this jade slip to your father. Even if he's furious, I won't be a cuckold!"
