I sat opposite Yaoyao and asked, "Ziyang Temple, what kind of place is that?"
"No need to go," Yaoyao flicked ash from her cigarette. "This morning, I sent Old Ba to check out Ziyang Temple. It's already become a scenic spot, and you even have to buy a ticket to get in."
"Then let's buy tickets. I'm not short on money," I said with a smile.
Yaoyao rolled her eyes. "What do you know? That was a place where I used to cultivate. It was originally deep in the mountains and forests. I went there to hide from 'Shabiyah'. Now it's a scenic spot full of people. Why would I go there now?"
"Then where do we go now?" I asked.
Yaoyao shook her head. "I don't know either."
Then, she pointed to her face. "The most urgent thing is to unseal my mask. Otherwise, I can only maintain my state with your startling... startling blood. I'll drain you dry sooner or later."
So that's why she was so "hungry."
"I don't mind," I chuckled nervously. "How do we unseal the mask?"
Mainly, I wanted to see Yaoyao's true face. The part exposed outside the mask was already exquisite. I wondered how good the hidden beauty was underneath.
Yaoyao turned her face, lifted the hair by her ear, and showed me the edge of the mask. I leaned in to take a closer look. It turned out there was a small hole at the edge of the mask, which should be a mask lock.
"Where's the key?" I asked.
"It was originally with my master. Now I don't know. After all, my master has been immortal for hundreds of years, and his descendants can't find it," Yaoyao sighed. "But I vaguely remember that Song Lei mentioned to me that he had found clues to the key. Unfortunately, before he could tell me, he was killed by Shabiyah's people..."
"Song Lei knew? That's easy!" I snapped my fingers. Knowing his personality, he would definitely write such an important matter in his diary.
Yaoyao didn't know about Song Lei's diary. I explained it to her briefly. Yaoyao's eyes lit up. "Great! Let's go to his house right away!"
"I have a side question, don't get angry," I said, my gaze drifting.
"Ask away, I don't treat you as an outsider." Yaoyao uncrossed her legs, rested her hands on the chair, and leaned forward, making a gesture of "trust."
"In your dreams, have you and Song Lei... done that?" My voice was as soft as a mosquito's, and I paid close attention to Yaoyao's expression. Firstly, I was worried she would be angry, and secondly, even if she didn't answer, I could judge most of it from her eyes or expression.
Unexpectedly, Yaoyao's expression didn't change. She said calmly and frankly, "No, I haven't. I haven't done it with the more than a hundred people I contacted before—those people in Han Yin Temple who were turned into 'night watchmen.' Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"...Then why am I the special one?" I asked, confused. "Is it because I'm the most handsome, one in a hundred?"
Yaoyao pouted. "I don't think you're handsome. Before, I just asked them to find a way to save me. As for you, it's because my sealing period of four hundred years is up, and 'Shabiyah' doesn't want me to go out. But my master's seal has been broken. The one sealing me is a new seal imposed by Shabiyah, which isn't very powerful. So, I just need your assistance and for you to satisfy me forty-nine times to break the seal. Unfortunately, it was interrupted by that Taoist priest—if I'm not mistaken, that stinky Taoist priest from Jinling is also Shabiyah's person."
So that's how it was. I was just lucky to have the opportunity. I thought I was so outstanding and had gained her favor.
With the doubts resolved, everyone set off. However, to get to Song Lei's house, we needed to enter the city. I figured Shen Xingyue should have been found and rescued by nearby villagers by now. She would definitely send people to track our two cars. So, when we reached a newly opened mobile phone store at the edge of the city, I asked Zheng Bingbing to park her Pajero nearby and then drove Shen Xingyue's Audi into an alley and abandoned the car.
Zheng Bingbing took them shopping for clothes and other things, while I loitered around the mobile phone store. Soon, someone selling SIM cards came up to me.
After spending over two thousand yuan, I bought eleven new phone cards, all burner phones that didn't require ID. Then I went into the store and "wholesale" bought eleven Huawei phones.
It cost me over forty thousand yuan, which stung, but I didn't feel heartbroken. I believed that with this team, there wouldn't be too many financial problems. If we were really in dire straits, I could totally organize them for live streaming. With these little vixen's looks, they could probably earn back the forty thousand yuan in an hour...
