"Second Night"
"Grandpa, this is a gift from the younger generation to you. Are you satisfied with it?" Cao Zhengyi gently pushed the girl to the front of Chu Yunsheng and bowed.
Chu Yunsheng really didn't understand why people always wanted to send women to him. He could only think of one reason, that was, someone was trying to plant a chess piece around him.
For example, Xiao Zhen was obviously Lei Ming's man.
Now Cao Zhengyi was also trying to do the same, but he might not be ordered by Lei Ming. At least he was not that powerful. The biggest possibility was probably that he was arranging a chess piece for himself. Just like the eunuchs around the emperor in ancient times, there were always ministers colluding with them to try to understand the emperor's likes and dislikes.
"You look good, you can stay here." Surprisingly, Chu Yunsheng didn't refuse as he used to.
He had finally thought it through. If he wanted to survive in this city, if he kept rejecting this kind of thing, there would always be people trying to curry favor with him and send him all kinds of women. At that time, even if he didn't die of annoyance, he would be shocked to death.
Rather than accepting a person sent by Lei Ming, it would be better to use the person sent by Cao Zhengyi as a shield and get it over with.
Moreover, he really needed someone to deliver food and water to him. Now he was in the city of Raging Fire, it was not like the wilderness, where he could rely on the storage talisman to meet his daily needs. In this city of Raging Fire, this kind of self-sufficient phenomenon would inevitably arouse people's suspicion. In order to save trouble, and also to save his own food, it was better to use the food in the city of Raging Fire.
But he didn't want to use Xiao Zhen, so Cao Zhengyi was "considerate" for Chu Yunsheng.
Seeing that Chu Yunsheng didn't reject it at all, Cao Zhengyi's mood was like the clouds in the sky of the age of light, floating in the air. Suddenly, he felt that he was starting to understand that he had become one of the steward's people.
"Grandpa, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go find someone for you right now." Cao Zhengyi bowed respectfully and happily strode away with Edgar to search for that person.
"What's your name?" Chu Yunsheng saw her head was lowered, staring at the leftover biscuits on the table, so he pushed the biscuit in front of her and asked.
"Tao, Tao Chan," the girl answered timidly, twisting her fingers, not daring to take the biscuits on the table.
"Then I'll call you Little Tao. In the future, you'll be responsible for bringing water, delivering food, and washing clothes. Without my permission, don't enter my room." He pointed at the biscuits on the table and said, "take the rest, and if you have any relatives in the castle of Raging Fire, you can also take them to the main hall to live there."
"No! That's it! " Tao Chan immediately panicked out of reflex. She even raised her head, but she could not hide the confusion in her eyes.
"We'll talk about it later." Chu Yunsheng was just testing Cao Zhengyi. Cao Zhengyi must have already thought of this, so he didn't bother to do anything. "Let's go out to eat. After eating, call Xiao Zhen. I need to talk to her."
Tao Chan nodded and quickly took the biscuit with her trembling hands. Then she quickly left the room.
Chu Yunsheng checked the situation of the cloak clone. Everything was normal. Edgar and Cao Zhengyi were going to take care of the candidates, so he didn't need to worry about it for the time being. Dori was also in charge of developing the anesthetic toxin, so he didn't need to spend too much time on it.
After those things were done, he asked Xiao Zhen to get back the roaring flame spear from the third fat man. Then he could focus on recovering his injuries. Also, he needed to find some time to go to the creep area. The insects that the cloaked man killed were piled up like a mountain. First, he couldn't waste Yuan Qi. Although it had already been a night, it was not completely gone. Second, those shells, skin, and meat were all going to be Chu Yunsheng's armor materials and food foundation in the future.
After resting for nearly an hour, Chu Yunsheng still didn't see Xiao Zhen coming back. He guessed that the third fat man might be a bit difficult to deal with. But since the thing was already in their hands, it didn't matter if it was later or earlier.
So he put on his tattered cotton-padded clothes and left the castle of Raging Fire alone, heading straight to the creep area.
Just when he entered the creep area, Chu Yunsheng saw a white shadow flashed by from afar. He immediately crouched down on the ground and hid behind a pile of slime balls.
A woman in a white dress quickly went into the tomb where Dark's main body was. At the same time, Chu Yunsheng immediately sensed that something was wrong. Just when he was about to do something, he was stopped by Chu Yunsheng. Chu Yunsheng only ordered Dark to take the growth fluid and hide immediately.
Then Chu Yunsheng realized that Dark's ability seemed to have increased a lot. When the cloaked man went into the tomb, it didn't notice him at all. But now, it was able to detect the woman in the white dress.
Only Chu Yunsheng, the cloaked man, and those women in the white dress could freely enter and exit the tomb. Chu Yunsheng wasn't stupid enough to think that the human skywalkers in the castle of Snowstorm could walk in and out of the tomb freely.
Logically speaking, if the cloaked man could think of using the growth fluid to heal his injuries, then the Ice Race in the white dress should also be able to think of the same thing. Then the reason why the white shadow came here was very clear.
Soon, the white shadow came out of the tomb where Dark was. There was nothing inside the tomb, so it obviously couldn't satisfy its needs.
Chu Yunsheng didn't dare to get too close to it. He had just fought a life and death battle with the cloaked man. If he continued to fight with the woman in the white dress, he wouldn't be able to do it. Although he really wanted to do it, he still had a clear mind.
The woman in the white dress stayed in the last tomb for a long time before she came out. She walked around the bodies of the insects that were "excreted" outside the tomb a few times. Probably because she was very confused, she looked around for a few times and then quickly left the creep area.
"Fuck, she thinks that my place is a pharmacy!" Chu Yunsheng cursed in his mind. Although he was annoyed, he still didn't dare to come out and collect the insects' bodies until the woman in the white dress was far away.
Like magic, the absorption talismans were filled with Yuan Qi and put into a new storage talisman together with the carapace as a backup.
"I need to think of a way to stop the Ice Race from stealing again!" Chu Yunsheng put away the last golden-shelled insect's body and began to think.
Of course, he couldn't do it by force, unless he and the tomb both recovered, and it was only a woman in the white dress, and there was no aircraft following her.
But this kind of harsh condition was also unrealistic.
If he couldn't use force, then he would use diplomacy. He had already regarded every insect and every slime in this area as his property.
After entering the tomb where Dark's main body was, Chu Yunsheng controlled the tomb to steal the underground energy from the other two tombs. At the same time, he planned to extract the growth mucus from the other three tombs in advance to prevent it from being "stolen".
The growth mucus was his treasure now. With this thing, his cultivation speed would be greatly increased. Although the senior practitioner of the Ice Race had told him that he couldn't use any shortcuts when cultivating Yuan Qi, this thing made Chu Yunsheng feel like he was riding a bicycle and suddenly changed to a car. Just the speed alone was enough to make him addicted.
Using the growth mucus that Dark hid, Chu Yunsheng sat on the platform that he made himself and began to cultivate. Strength, strength, only when he had more strength, he would no longer need to be afraid.

"Big brother, the old man asked Xiao Zhen to ask for the gun, should we give it to him or not?" Fu Hanbiao asked impatiently.
"Lao Er, he said that the gun was made by the fire messenger, do you think it is true?" Lei Ming didn't answer Fu Hanbiao's question. Instead, he asked Lao Er another question.
"It doesn't look like it, we have followed the fire messenger for so long, but we have never seen this kind of weapon, it is unlikely," Lao Er Luo Hengshen shook his head and said.
Lei Ming let out a sigh and said, "I think so too. This old man clearly wants to use the fire messenger's name to ask for the gun. First, he wants to get the gun, and second, he wants to test our attitude and confidence. What a good plan! If we give it to him, he will never be able to raise his head again; if we don't give it to him, he will use this opportunity to slander the fire messenger. Lao Er, how dare this old man make up the story about the fire messenger?"
"It's just that he is not afraid of anything, and he is relying on the fire messenger's trust. Oh right, Lao Er, how powerful is this gun? "Luo Hengshen sneered and then asked with concern." Big brother, second brother, this gun is amazing.
"Big brother, second brother, this gun is really amazing. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself later. Not only can ordinary people use it to shoot, it's attack power is no weaker than a normal Fire Energy Skywalker's. Most importantly, when I tried to infuse my Fire Energy into the gun, guess what happened? Its power increased exponentially. I didn't know that at that time, so when I was testing it, I accidentally injured two of my sparring partners," said Fu Hanbiao excitedly. He touched the gun as if he was touching a woman.
"If that's the case, then we can't just give it to him casually," Luo Hengshen frowned and said.
"We don't have to give it to him! I'll go to the fire messenger first. You find someone to investigate that black man's background. The problem now is not the gun. No matter how good the gun is, it's just a tool. That old man is not an ordinary person. He's very ambitious. If it doesn't work, we'll just … "Lei Ming made a gesture of cutting his throat. He would rather kill anyone who had the potential to threaten his position as the castellan.
*****
Chu Yunsheng didn't expect that Lei Ming would think of things in such a complicated way. In the tomb, after he used up the rest of the growth hormone mucus, he didn't immediately return to the castle of Raging Fire. Instead, he went straight to the castle of Snowstorm.
He remembered that there was an old man who almost starved to death outside the castle, so he wanted to send him to the castle of Raging Fire as soon as possible.
However, when he returned to the shack, he found out that the old man was gone.
He looked for the person he asked, San Fazi, and found out that not long ago, the castle of Snowstorm had sent a team of elite soldiers to bring Zhen Youcai into the castle.
Chu Yunsheng's heart skipped a beat. 'How did the Ice Race know about another candidate so quickly?
Unless someone told them! '
A terrifying thought flashed across Chu Yunsheng's mind. 'The silhouette in the mirror colluded with the Ice Race!' (To be continued)
