"Then what am I responsible for?" I asked with a smile.
"You're here to..." Yao Yao pursed her lips, a suggestive smile playing on them. "Help me adjust my physical and mental health, relieve stress, and make me comfortable..."
"That's it?"
"It's not that simple! You have to make me satisfied..." Yao Yao pulled me, and we tumbled onto the bed.
Eighteen thousand characters omitted here.
The next morning, when I woke up, Yao Yao was still fast asleep, perhaps too satisfied, a little tipsy.
After I got up and washed, I went out to wake them one by one and gather them in the conference room for a brief meeting.
The meeting had only one agenda: last night, I discussed the issue of Bai Ze's reincarnation with Mu Jige. For my safety, Yao Yao decided to impersonate Bai Ze's reincarnation and announce it to the public, drawing all the attention to herself. However, after a night of contemplation, I rejected Yao Yao's proposal. If she tells you this later, be mentally prepared. To avoid her getting agitated, there's no need to expose her lie; it's enough that we know the truth. For the outside world, we will still admit to my true identity as Bai Ze's reincarnation.
The meeting also made arrangements and deployments for immediate life matters that required attention.
Just as the meeting was about to adjourn, Yao Yao, still groggy in her pajamas, walked in. "What are you all doing up and about so early in the morning?"
"Discussing what to have for breakfast!" I said with a smile.
"Perfect, I have something to tell you all," Yao Yao said, taking the head seat beside me as if she were the boss. "Actually, I am Bai Ze. From now on..." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Everyone's expressions were calm as they listened and nodded in approval of Yao Yao's "substitute" plan.
After Yao Yao finished speaking and saw no reaction, she frowned and asked, "What, you don't believe me?"
"We believe, we believe."
"You're right, you're right."
"Boss, what are we having for breakfast?"
"Go back and wash up first. Everyone, meeting adjourned," I said, standing up.
"Hey, hey, don't go, I'm not finished talking!" Yao Yao said anxiously.
"It's just about this matter," Meng Meng said with a smile. "You two are a couple anyway, who is Bai Ze doesn't matter! We are all descendants of the Bai Ze demon clan, as long as you two don't break up, we will be your loyal generals!"
The other demons chimed in, and Yao Yao finally believed them.
We ordered takeout for breakfast. While we were eating, the Eagle Demon returned, saying it had been following for half the night and finally found the hideouts of those people from Sakura Country.
"Where?" I asked.
"Lushun."
I opened the map on my phone. "Sounds familiar, where is it?"
The Eagle Demon pointed it out to me. It was by the sea, about 400 kilometers from Fucheng. No wonder it took her half the night to follow; it wasn't because she was slow, but because the cars on the ground were slow.
I sent the detailed address the Eagle Demon brought back to Lin Chi, who was stationed in Fucheng, and asked her to investigate what kind of organization it was.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chi called back quickly, saying she knew the place. It was the headquarters of a large corporation from Sakura Country in Yanxia, called "Cangjing Corporation."
"Is their president named Cangjing Kong?" I asked with a smile.
Lin Xi was a decent person, but her sister Lin Chi was clearly not. She gave me a knowing chuckle. "Don't get any ideas. This is a legitimate company. Its main business is energy and mechanical manufacturing. I didn't expect them to raise ninjas. I'll have the local Shakespeare in Lushun investigate."
"Thank you, Director Lin."
"No need to thank me, I need your help too. Are you free this morning? Can we meet?"
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"I need your help with matters related to the Underworld."
"Okay, then... where should I go?" I didn't want to expose the location of the hideout, but perhaps Lin Chi had already discovered it.
"Alright, I'll send you the address later."
A short while later, Lin Chi sent the address of the Fucheng branch of Shakespeare, about three kilometers from us. As mentioned before, Fucheng is not a large city. The Zhèjiāng Building where we are located is in the center of the city. Their Shakespeare is in the western part of the city, locally called "West Exit."
I replied: Ten o'clock sharp.
She probably wanted me to introduce her to a big shot from the Infernal Department so that Lin Chi could carry out her work in the future.
I touched the Soul Requisition Token at my waist. Yes, it was still there. This thing was strange. Normally, if I took off my belt, it would come off with it. But if I was wearing pants, I couldn't even feel its presence. It didn't dangle like a keychain. Even last night, when fighting with Yao Yao, I didn't take off all my armor at first, and despite rolling around, the Soul Requisition Token didn't dig into my body. It wasn't like this at first; I could feel it. Perhaps, it had now merged with me.
