"…"
It really was a meeting of the gods!
Tai Qing Heavy Industries.
It was a famous military cooperation enterprise in Dongxia. It was a giant heavy industry group created by the previous generation's master, Lu Wu. It was a huge capital consortium that spanned across the present world, the border, and hell.
Huai Shi's expression twitched. He suddenly slapped his bare knee and said in a trembling voice, "Old Tie, this is not easy to handle … You have to pay more!"
"… That's not easy to handle?"
Hu Po glanced at him and snorted, "There's something even more difficult to handle!"
"I can't believe it. What did you do, you bastard!"
She glared at Huai Shi with resentment. Finally, she looked at the back of a person who was happily playing with goldfish by the pond.
She let out a long sigh.
She had nothing left to lose.
"Forget it. Since you've gained her trust … Then you can be Zhen Xi's agent." She said, "I'm afraid she doesn't trust anyone here other than you."
Huai Shi's smile disappeared and gradually turned cold, "I refuse."
"Don't worry. I'll give you the money and remuneration."
"I know what you're thinking, Hu Po, but you better save it." Huai Shi said coldly, "She's just an ordinary person. You can't push her into this fire pit."
"Huai Shi, from the moment you saved her, she was already destined to be a thorn in other people's side."
"At least she's not mine. She shouldn't be yours either. She's your blood relative, Hu Po. She can't be the head of the family and can't even be your competitor. It's too easy to kill her … "
Hu Po retorted, "It's not easy for her to stay alive."
"…"
Huai Shi frowned, "What do you mean?"
Hu Po didn't say anything. It was as if she suddenly realized that she had made a mistake. She looked at Huai Shi and was stunned, as if she couldn't believe it.
"So you really didn't do anything, Huai Shi."
She didn't know if that expression was of admiration or change of opinion. It was very unbelievable.
She leaned closer and asked seriously, "You guys didn't sleep?"
"Stinky sister, don't treat me as a sex maniac!"
Huai Shi was furious.
"Alright, let's not talk about the gossip outside. For the time being, we'll just assume that you're an upright person."
Hu Po sighed. "If you've taken off her clothes, you'll know. Huai Shi, she's a mixed breed."
Huai Shi's movements suddenly became sluggish.
Bastard?
He thought for a long time before he remembered that this was the name given to those with 'beastly characteristics'. Part of the mutation phenomenon would only appear in newborns at the border that was too deep …
But how could this have anything to do with a country girl like Zhen Xi?
"She didn't tell you, did she?"
Hu Po smoked irritably and said in a muffled voice, "I'm afraid that only Jiaoshan knows about this. After all, it's a family scandal."
"Her father, my uncle Qing Ping, was infected by the Abyss. She was unlucky and won a prize. It was a passive inheritance, and she was sent to a remote border area from the moment she was born. If it wasn't for the Patriarch selection, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to come out from there … This is her only chance, Huai Shi. "
"Have you seen how most mixed breeds live?"
Hu Po lowered his head and said softly, "They aren't protected by the Three Great Mysteries, and have to endure the corrosion of the Abyss in their bodies at all times. If they can't become a Sublimator, then they'll die at the age of fifty, forty, or even earlier because their Origin Form will collapse.
But most people aren't that lucky. Before that, all kinds of complications will begin to torment them.
Spondylitis, diabetes, lupus erythematosus, rheumatism … Starting from the immune system, they'll be tormented … In the end, if they don't want to be dehydrated, they'll have to calculate every single grain of salt they eat three times.
Most people can't take this kind of torture and commit suicide.
She … How old is Zhen Xi now? "
Huai Shi thought for a moment and said, "Seventeen."
"Then it'll be soon." Hu Po sighed softly.
Once puberty ended, the pathological period would begin.
From then on, it would be a long and painful downhill slope, all the way to hell.
"She doesn't have any other choice, Huai Shi."
Hu Po shook his head. "She didn't come here for the free ten day tour of the capital. No matter how stupid a person is, they know how dangerous this is. But if she wants a way out … … she'll have to risk her life. Otherwise, the only thing that awaits her is a tragic death at the age of thirty or forty, just like that uncle of mine."
"If you ask me, that bastard shouldn't have had children in the first place!"
Hu Po stamped out the cigarette butt with his foot, his expression dark. "It's fine if you're the only one suffering, but why do you have to implicate the next generation?"
In the silence, Huai Shi suddenly said, "I can send her to the Ivory Tower."
Hu Po sneered. "Like raising a pet? It's not easy to live in a sterile room, Huai Shi — — "
Just as she was about to mock him, Huai Shi raised his head and looked at her.
His sharp senses picked up on what she didn't say.
"— — Is there a way for her to live?"
"… …"
Hu Po's expression stiffened.
It was hard for her to understand from the bottom of her heart why this bastard's sense of smell would be unreasonably sharp every time it involved a beautiful woman …
After a long silence, she finally chose to tell him the family's secret. "Have you heard of 'The Legend of the Eight Dogs in the South'?"
Huai Shi shook his head decisively.
"What's that?"
Hu Po couldn't help but roll her eyes.
With your level of education, how did you become a teacher in the Ivory Tower?
"… To put it simply, it's the legend of the Rijian family's ancestors. It's said that at the most dangerous moment of the Rijian family, a miracle called Yatsufusa descended from the sky and turned into a dog. It blessed eight warriors and helped the head of the Rijian family to successfully restore the country."
She said, "Although most of it is just a rumor, the 'Yatsufusa' itself is real."
This was the true treasure of the Rijian family.
The most precious secret treasure.
The Stigmata Relic — the Glazed Armor of Faketzel, Yatsufusa!
In addition to inheriting the power of the Stigmata of the Twelve Pharmacists Divine Generals, it also had the indestructible defense of the Vajra Region. Other than the indestructible glazed sword, it was also the guarantee that the family could continue to pass down the family's legacy.
Without relying on the quota of the Astronomy Association, every hundred years, eight people would be able to become Ascendants without any repercussions.
After explaining the full effects of the family's treasure, Hu Po promised, "Huai Shi, as long as I become the head, she will be the next generation of Yatsufusa Warrior.
Only by becoming an Ascendant can the Abyss Erosion on her body be neutralized without any repercussions. This is the best way. "
"Other than that?"
Huai Shi asked directly, "You're the one who will gain more, right?"
"Yes." Hu Po nodded. "To control the Rijian family, I need someone with a clean background, someone who can be trusted to bear part of the responsibility for me … Is there anyone more suitable than Makoto?"
Huai Shi shook his head. "Are you so sure that she will cooperate with you? If she is so easily controlled, why won't she be affected by others? "
"You're the one who brought her to me, aren't you?"
Hu Po laughed softly. "Mystic Bird is right. The greatest opportunity lies with the first person to arrive. In fact, the original plan was not like this, but there was a prerequisite to consider who would appear in front of me first.
According to Mystic Bird's suggestion, if it was the original, the final result would either be great fortune or great misfortune. There were no other options.
But if it was you, the Rijian family would still have a chance to be saved … I finally understand what he meant. " “
Mystic Bird …
A suggestion from the King of the Pedigree, one could understand the weight of it. Especially for someone like Mystic Bird, who became more and more sinister as he got older. He was a person who calculated ten steps ahead of him, and could make a thousand-layer pancake when others went up a level. Huai Shi could not find any reason to refute him.
If it were anyone else, Huai Shi might be afraid and jump over the wall to escape, afraid that he would be used as cannon fodder, but Mystic Bird was too lazy to play this game.
That old man was extremely cautious. His style was so stable that there were no loopholes or shortcomings. His divination skills were even more frightening. Between a sure profit and no loss, he could firmly occupy the latter and maintain a relatively small profit … Only he would never take any big risks.
As a tool of the Dongxia Pedigree, at least his safety was guaranteed. There was no such thing as being unlucky and suddenly dying on the road.
But the problem was …
"What does he want to do?" Huai Shi asked.
"I don't know." Hu Po shrugged. "But it definitely has nothing to do with the Astronomy Society or the Ivory Tower. It won't affect you at all … Or do you think this is Mystic Bird's scheme?"
As she spoke, she could not help but glance in the direction of the capital. Her tone became somewhat mocking. "For this kind of thing, there's no such thing as a one-sided passion."
Huai Shi sighed. "You're willing to be a puppet?"
"Don't make it sound so bad. I'm just a tool."
Hu Po waved her hand indifferently. "Isn't this what a warrior is like? What's the difference between being a tool of the emperor and a general and being a tool of the Dongxia Pedigree? "
"Moreover …"
She suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "If the Continuation Institute now sets Xin Hai as a lockdown area, what will you do, Huai Shi? Refuse to carry it out?"
"…"
Huai Shi was silent. He had no answer.
If the situation was serious enough to require the Continuation Institute to lock down the area, he was afraid … there was no room for him to refuse.
"Isn't that right? The hairtail distributed by the Social Security Bureau every year is not that easy to eat, Huai Shi. "
Hu Po crumpled the empty seven-star box into a ball and casually threw it into the trash can at the other end of the courtyard. She clapped her hands and looked at Zhen Xi, who was beside the pond.
Zhen Xi noticed their gazes and also looked over. In her hand was a plastic bag holding a goldfish that she had fished out from her pond. She was excitedly waving at Huai Shi to show off the fruits of her labor.
Hearing Huai Shi's pained sigh, this time it was Hu Po's turn to gloat.
"Go and have a good discussion with your next employer."
Hu Po patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave. "I'll leave the matters of life and death to you, Mr. Tool. A real beautiful girl just needs to sit there and wait for someone to deliver the fruits of her labor."
Little Hu Po snorted happily and turned to leave.
Did you see that, stinky little brother? This is the joy and victory of a rich woman!
