Chen Zhao stayed for less than an hour before the Calming Jade.
Then, he planned to leave. This place could indeed calm his mind.
However, the price was letting a stone peek into his inner world.
It would be fine if he didn't know, but since he did, Chen Zhao didn't want to continue like this.
Moreover, it wasn't a regular stone. It was a stone that was about to turn into a spirit.
Didn't they say that it wouldn't turn into a spirit after the country was established?
Of course, this was only Chen Zhao's prediction.
Who knew when this Calming Jade would develop intelligence?
Maybe it would complete the transformation soon.
But for humans, it would still be a long process.
Ouch —
Just then, a boy bumped into Chen Zhao's leg and fell on his butt.
Chen Zhao froze. Because he wasn't far from the Calming Jade, his senses were still greatly affected. He didn't notice the boy's actions at all.
The boy's parents hurried over. "Xiao Ye, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Mom."
"Hurry and apologize to Uncle."
"Sorry, Uncle." The boy called Xiao Ye looked at Chen Zhao obediently.
"Uh … I'm sorry," Chen Zhao said, smiling. "I was distracted and didn't notice you."
The couple seemed to have taught their children well.
It was hard to say who was right and who was wrong in the accident.
However, they were brave enough to admit their mistakes.
It was enough to show their values.
The child's father dragged his suitcase. He wore glasses and looked thoughtful.
The child's mother was quite pretty. Her makeup was mainly light and elegant. Her tone and attitude were both easy-going.
"Hello, Xiao Ye ran too fast just now," the mother said gently.
"It's okay. Kids are always noisy. If they don't, they won't be kids anymore. Are you here to travel too?"
"Oh, right. Are you alone, sir?"
"No, I'm here to play with my friends during Chinese New Year."
The two chatted as they walked.
"What a coincidence. Do you live here? I'm next door."
Chen Zhao's suite was next door to this family's suite.
"Yes, what a coincidence, but it's really not cheap here," the father complained. "2,300 a day."
Chen Zhao grinned. Only two thousand and three hundred yuan?
He earned 100,000 a day!
You have the nerve to tell me it's expensive?
"I've been busy all year," Chen Zhao said, chuckling. "It's rare for me to come out and play. Don't think it's too expensive."
"That's true. This is one of the best resorts in the country. It's expensive, but there are benefits to it. With the facilities here, it's not a loss."
The father seemed to be consoling himself.
Even so, he still felt pain in his heart.
After all, his family wasn't very rich.
Staying here for three days would cost a few thousand yuan. Anyone would feel uncomfortable for a while.
After chatting at the door for a while, Chen Zhao and the father returned to their respective rooms.
"Linlin, do you think we'll really be fine if we hide here with Little Ye?"
"I think so … The fortune-teller said that Xiaoye's calamity can be resolved here." The child's mother was also a little worried.
After all, they were facing an inhuman being.
This time, they said that they were bringing Little Ye here for a vacation.
But in reality, they were here to seek refuge.
…
At the same time, outside the resort.
Two humanoid creatures with inhuman faces were loitering outside the resort.
Before they could enter, a figure appeared in front of the two inhuman creatures.
"Who are you people? What are you doing here? "
"Friend," one of the inhuman creatures said. "We're chasing a thief who stole something from us. He's escaped inside now."
However, the cultivator clearly did not believe the words of the two demons.
"This is Jingxin Villa. No one is allowed to cause trouble here, especially two demons who haven't transformed yet."
"Friend, we're from Kunlai Mountain. We're here on the orders of Ancestor Kunlai. Please do us a favor."
"No," the cultivator said coldly. "Don't wander around here if you don't have anything to do. Be careful not to be eaten."
"Friend, are you not going to give Ancestor Kunlai face?"
"This is Jingxin Villa, not Kunlai Mountain," the cultivator snorted.
The two demons didn't force their way in. After all, it was just the two of them.
If they went to Jingxin Villa alone, it would be no different from suicide.
So, the two decisively chose to retreat.
After confirming that the two demons had left, the cultivator's expression changed. He hurried back into Jingxin Villa.
Jingxin Villa's influence was great. But whether or not it could intimidate Old Monster Kunlai was another matter.
Old Monster Kunlai was a tyrant in the southwest region.
It was said that he was one of the few great demons with a thousand years of cultivation.
Even the government turned a blind eye to Old Monster Kunlai occupying the mountains and acting as the king.
Anyone, as long as their strength reached a certain level and didn't go against those in power, would basically be recruited or set up their own faction.
Old Monster Kunlai was one of them.
In China's supernatural world, there was a saying: West Mountain Stupa Town Kunlai, East Mountain Ghost Gate Saves Life.
This West Mountain Stupa was naturally referring to Old Monster Kunlai.
And East Mountain Ghost Gate Saves Life was referring to Mount Tai Ghost King.
Of course, there was still a difference between the two.
For example, Old Monster Kunlai was an unorthodox person.
The government didn't care about you. He was also secretly free and unfettered.
And Mount Tai Ghost King was a true nobleman.
He was one of the higher-ups of the government. He could even be said to be one of the people in power.
The fiefdom given by the government, and many of them were open and aboveboard industries.
Although he wasn't human, his power was thicker than most people's.
"Something happened." Luo Bin hurried into the meeting hall.
Originally, there were two cultivators dressed in traditional Han clothing. They were drinking tea with their legs crossed and chatting leisurely.
Suddenly, they were shocked by Luo Bin's shout.
"What happened?"
"Just now, two demons from Kunlai Mountain came outside. They said they were under the orders of Old Demon Kunlai to find a person who stole something from them. However, I chased them away. However, I'm worried that Old Demon Kunlai will send more people to cause trouble."
"Will Old Monster Kunlai come personally? If he does, we won't be able to stop him with just the few of us here. "
"Old Monster Kunlai! That's a great demon. No, I have to inform the boss. "
"Go and investigate who that Old Monster Kunlai is looking for. Also, those two monsters said that Old Monster Kunlai lost something. Find out what exactly it is."
Luo Bin dialed the boss's number. "Boss, something happened …"
Luo Bin quickly told the boss on the other side of the phone.
After a moment of silence, the person on the other end of the phone said, "Has the person in room 058 checked in?"
