Chapter 393 I also have a friend
Jiang Xiaohu's long robe billowed as he walked.
A hunchbacked subordinate followed beside him with a grin, chattering, "Don't mind those old guys. At their age, if they don't stir up trouble with a few words, they feel like life is empty!"
"The message from over there says that Little Hou Dianxia is having a great time! And it's just some little ants; they won't cause much trouble. Besides, Miss Xia from the Xia family is also there."
"Heh! Dianxia, for this mission, even though they speak formally and don't praise you much, deep down, they're probably scared out of their wits. None of them were as wise and valiant as you in their youth, let alone as gifted! Not to mention…"
Jiang Xiaohu suddenly stopped. "Enough. I'm going to Beiguo."
"Huh?" The hunchbacked subordinate was stunned. "Go… go… to Beiguo?"
"What?"
"Uh… This subordinate has no objections to Little Hou Dianxia, not even when she once tried to use a machine to straighten my back. I am still grateful to her. Little Hou Dianxia meant well, she just used the wrong method… But… since she's having such a good time, Dianxia, you really don't need to bring her back so soon…"
"Speaking of which, Little Hou Dianxia even ordered research on a new machine, saying she wanted to see if I could be bent into a loop… I don't mind the loop itself, but she hopes I'll roll forward in the future… That part… is difficult because if I roll, certain parts of my body might hit a rock and…"
Jiang Xiaohu snapped, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
Then he sighed. "She'll get bored soon and come back."
Jiang Xiaohu left, and the hunchbacked subordinate breathed a sigh of relief. "I hope she stays entertained for a few more years. These two brothers make people nervous."
…
Lu Chengwen handed an Invincible Diarrhea Pill to Cheqi Tianwang.
"Take this back to report."
Cheqi Tianwang looked at it. "Will this… restore his abilities?"
Lu Chengwen nodded. "This will bring him to the peak of pleasure!"
"Boss Lu, you and Long Aotian are fellow disciples. Can you put in a good word for me? That hundred billion…"
Lu Chengwen smiled. "He sent you to deal with me. Do you think my words would help for a hundred billion?"
"Then what do I do? Or… you could talk to that fairy girl. Her poison is about to take effect too."
"I will."
"You know where she is?"
"I'll find out soon."
Cheqi Tianwang said, "She's not far from you. Maybe you even know her. It's just… perhaps someone new has recently arrived at your place—that's her. I think she treats you quite well, so maybe you should…"
"Alright, alright, first handle Huo Wendong, then we'll talk about the rest."
"I don't have much time left; I can't wait to talk about it later!"
"One problem at a time. Deal with Huo Wendong first!"
"But…"
"You need to hurry up. You have three poisons to take antidotes for today—any later, and it'll be too late. Go, go, go, scram."
Hua Xuening asked, "What did he just mean?"
"He was poisoned three times and is talking nonsense."
"Oh."
Lu Chengwen said, "Xuening, follow him. See who he's in contact with. Be careful—follow if you can, but if there's danger, retreat immediately. No reckless actions!"
"Yes."
Hua Xuening stood still.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chengwen asked.
"You're going to detoxify Shiyin Jie?"
Lu Chengwen looked a bit embarrassed. "Just going to chat."
Hua Xuening lowered her head, looking slightly unhappy.
"What's wrong, Xuening?"
"I want to be smarter." Hua Xuening blushed and looked up at Lu Chengwen.
At first, Lu Chengwen didn't understand, but then realization dawned.
"Oh, you want to be smarter! You're already very smart. No need to be any smarter, right?"
"Who would complain about being too smart? You… can help me, right?"
"We'll talk about it when you come back. First, follow Cheqi."
"Then who will protect you here?"
"Luo Shiyin is here. No one will dare mess around."
"Mm, then I'll go."
Watching Hua Xuening leave, Lu Chengwen was overjoyed. He rubbed his hands and ran upstairs. "Shiyin, my darling, your man is here! Wahahaha…"
After being entangled with Luo Shiyin for a long time, Lu Chengwen finally got down to business.
For lovers, occasional separation is like a spice, making them cherish their time together even more.
With Long Aotian as an obstacle, the excitement of their reunion felt even more illicit and thrilling.
Before long, Hua Xuening called.
Lu Chengwen, out of breath, had to answer. "Hello? What's up?!"
"Cheqi Tianwang was captured by Long Aotian's people!"
"Huh?!" Lu Chengwen said, "Who caught him?!"
"Sister Xiaohua and Sister Meishao."
"Cheqi is that weak? Two women caught him?"
"He was poisoned—how could he resist?"
Lu Chengwen said, "Then come back."
"You're still detoxifying, aren't you?"
Lu Chengwen hung his head gloomily while Luo Shiyin chuckled beside him.
"Don't worry about that. Just come back first."
"I'll follow them a little longer!"
"Hey, you…"
The call ended.
Luo Shiyin wrapped her arms around Lu Chengwen's neck. "Come on~ I missed you so much!"
"Behave and answer me—will you dare to do this again?"
"Nunu wouldn't dare anymore~ Ahhh!"
Not long after, as Lu Chengwen was busy, the phone rang again.
"What now?"
"What's for dinner? I can buy groceries."
Lu Chengwen was beyond frustrated. "You decide."
"But I want you to decide. You're the master, I should listen to you."
"Just… whatever. If you listen to me, then I'm telling you to decide."
"Oh, is the detox done?"
"Almost."
"Oh."
"Bye."
Lu Chengwen got back to business, but the phone rang again.
Luo Shiyin picked up. "Xuening! What are you doing!? I'm stuck in the middle of something difficult, you know?!"
Hua Xuening mumbled, "Just wanted to ask if you're staying for dinner…"
"I have to go back! If I stay too long, they'll start suspecting! Stop calling!"
Lu Chengwen was silent for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up. "You're ruthless."
"No, you're the ruthless one. Come here, over here…"
…
Seven kilometers from the villa, by the roadside.
Cheqi Tianwang had his acupuncture points sealed and was kneeling in front of Long Aotian.
Long Aotian sat in the car seat with the door wide open, looking at Cheqi Tianwang:
"I had my people investigate and found that you and Lu Chengwen were chatting quite enthusiastically. Come on, tell me—who are you really working for now?"
Cheqi Tianwang glanced around. Two beautiful women stood on either side, both looking difficult to deal with.
Meanwhile, Long Aotian was sitting comfortably, eating a bunch of grapes with a smug expression.
"I... of course, I'm working for you, Young Master."
"Oh?" Long Aotian smiled. "Then why did you go to Lu Chengwen, seem to have a good relationship with him, and yet not bring me my money?"
Cheqi Tianwang had no choice but to say, "I was poisoned by Huo Wendong."
"Who!?"
"Huo Wendong."
Long Aotian glanced at Qi Meishao and Zhuge Xiaohua, his face serious. "You sure have quite a wide network! You're even in contact with Huo Wendong? What did he ask you to do?"
"Steal something from Lu Chengwen."
"What thing?"
Cheqi Tianwang swallowed nervously. "A... treasure... a treasure."
Long Aotian looked at him. "You better explain everything clearly in one breath, or I'll kill you right now."
"It's a type of pill that... that can restore a man's vigor. Huo Wendong has a weak body and struggles in that regard, so he values this pill greatly. He ordered me to steal it for him, or he wouldn't give me the antidote. Young Master, there's no rush about the money, we can take our time, but with Huo Wendong, I need to give him an answer quickly. Please let me go!"
Long Aotian was taken aback. There's such a miraculous pill!?
Even the two beauties turned to look at Long Aotian, making the atmosphere a little awkward.
"What's the name of this pill? How effective is it?"
Over the past few days, Cheqi Tianwang had come to understand one thing through his own experiences—
Telling the truth would get him beaten!
Telling lies, saying what they wanted to hear, would make things much easier.
"I don't know the name, just that it tastes awful, really hard to swallow. But no matter who takes it, they will definitely regain their full vigor—immensely strong, overwhelmingly powerful!"
Long Aotian got excited. "Do you have it?"
"I... I have it..." Cheqi Tianwang hesitated. "Young Master, why do you need this? Could it be that you..."
"Insolence!" Zhuge Xiaohua scolded. "Do you think the Young Master is that kind of person? Why would he need such a lowly thing!?"
"Yes, yes, I misunderstood, I'm sorry, Young Master, my apologies..."
Zhuge Xiaohua was still fuming. "The Young Master only needs five years!"
Long Aotian glanced at Zhuge Xiaohua, signaling her to speak less.
But he had to admit, he was tempted.
Qi Meishao had been emotionally unstable lately, and Luo Shiyin seemed distracted as well.
Even Zhuge Xiaohua now looked troubled.
He had to claim them as soon as possible.
Five years! How was he supposed to endure five years!? Live like a monk for five years!?
These were his prime years!
He had to think of a way!
If this pill was really that effective, many of his problems could be solved.
First of all, if he could secure Qi Meishao, he wouldn't have to worry about all that nonsense about Nuwa's blood and the psychic resonance of the Ancient Ape God.
If he could take in these three guards, their abilities would grow significantly, making them even stronger allies.
That would save him a lot of trouble—he was tired of constantly getting beaten up.
"Ahem!" Long Aotian cleared his throat. "Of course, I wouldn't need such a thing."
"Yes, yes."
"But..." Long Aotian thought for a moment. "I have a friend... hmm..."
"Huh!? You have a friend?"
"Am I not allowed to have friends?"
"You are."
"He's in a bad state right now and happens to need this. How about you give it to me, and I'll give you the antidote. How about that?"
Cheqi Tianwang thought to himself, If you have issues, just admit it. Why make up excuses?
"That... that works, but Huo Wendong—"
"Ah! Huo Wendong is my business partner. I'll handle this with him. He'll give me this favor."
"Ah, that would be great!"
Cheqi Tianwang quickly took out the pill and was just about to hand it over when a loud voice rang out:
"Aotian, my brother, I'm afraid that won't be appropriate."
Everyone turned to see—
Huo Wendong, leading three top experts from Skynet, walking toward them.
