My old classmates said so, what else could I refuse? Let's do it. The fox spirit is right, it's only a matter of time. Might as well go all in, strike first and catch them off guard. Actually, I'm more worried that if the "Chiyou" group finds out we're in the Northeast—it's easy to find out, after all, we told those three purple qi users that we came from Jiuxian Cave in Fucheng. We were trying to trick them, but the news still leaked out. If Chiyou finds the Northeast and colludes with the "Mohe" and they work together, it will be a big problem.
First, we took down more than a dozen Mohe masters and three main players from Chiyou.
Second, these eight demons from Jiuxian Cave are worth hundreds of millions, equivalent to a truckload of money, and they're right here!
It would be strange if they, as demon hunters, didn't come to claim them!
The two points above will inevitably lead them to attack us in the near future. This battle, or rather these two battles, cannot be avoided.
"Deal," I said, "but I also want to make a request, like Song Wenzhi."
Chen Lu frowned, "You want to sleep with me too?"
"When we were in college, I thought about it..." I told the truth, "and I thought about it many times."
Chen Lu seemed pleased but still wanted to maintain her reserve, "Then it depends on your performance! If you perform well, I'll let you sleep with me."
"Wow, then I'm jealous!" the fox spirit laughed.
"Let's do it together," Chen Lu provocatively touched the fox spirit.
"Can we do that? It sounds a bit exciting!"
They steered the conversation towards the Yellow Sea.
I got out of the car and video-called Yao Yao, briefly explaining the situation.
"Damn, your old classmate is too unreliable!" Yao Yao was a bit annoyed, covering her chest. She hadn't fully recovered from the injuries sustained in the battle at Cuiping Mountain and had planned to rest for a couple more days.
"It's also an opportunity!" I said.
Yao Yao thought for a moment, "Alright, but you have to think about it. Fighting in an unfamiliar place requires attention to many details. First, you need to protect the Chen family."
"How should I protect them? Let them hide first?"
"How about this," Yao Yao said, "I'll bring them over now. We'll meet at Chen Lu's house. Then, you take them out to raid the Song family. I'll stay at the Chen family's. Attacking in an unfamiliar environment might not be my forte, but defending in a place I'm familiar with, I have more experience."
I understood Yao Yao's intention. It had nothing to do with martial arts, but with her physiognomy and elemental magic. When defending a point, she could first use physiognomy to detect the direction of enemy attacks, and then fully utilize the prepared elemental forces to counter the attacks, which is commonly known as "setting up a formation." The battle in the abandoned village was won this way. From beginning to end, Yao Yao stood at the center of the formation, not moving even a meter.
An immature plan for a counter-ambush was thus hastily decided.
I asked Chen Lu to call her parents and tell them to hurry home and make preparations. On Qipan Mountain, Zhao Nana, driving the Jiangling Jinxuan van I had bought earlier, was bringing Yao Yao and all the demons towards the city.
Since the wedding venue was in the north of the city, Chen Lu's family lived in the south, and Qipan Mountain was in the southeastern suburbs, Yao Yao and I arrived at the Chen family villa almost simultaneously.
Don't talk about the country prohibiting the construction of detached villas; there are "proper toilets" upstairs and "aligned toilets" downstairs. Chen Jianguo, as a leader of a state-owned enterprise, naturally couldn't violate the "proper toilet" rule. His villa was a duplex, except that the eastern half and the western half belonged to his family. One property deed was registered under Chen Jianguo and his wife, and the other under Chen Lu. The wall between the two villas was removed, and the wall in the middle of the three-story structure was also broken through to form a door. The whole structure looked even more imposing than a detached villa.
The courtyard of the villa was also meticulously designed, with no vegetable patches, only landscape structures like rockeries and winding streams, resembling the style of the villa owner in the Cuiping Mountain incident.
Assistant Liu, fearless of death, followed, saying he wanted to share life and death with President Chen. Yao Yao didn't stand on ceremony, turning Assistant Liu, a driver, and a physically strong female nanny into his temporary assistants. The nanny went to a hardware store to buy a large quantity of nails according to Yao Yao's instructions, the driver went to a building materials market to buy lime powder, and Assistant Liu was sent to procure gasoline.
Normally, ordinary people can add gasoline to their cars, but it's usually difficult to buy it in bulk. Gas stations are reluctant to sell it, fearing that ill-intentioned individuals might use it for destructive purposes. However, this was not a problem for Assistant Liu, as his company was in the oil and gas business.
