"Highly probable," Sha Wuji narrowed his small eyes. "If those Purple Qi experts come, I believe with Shakespeare's strength, the other side won't have an advantage—by the way, Captain Shen called me earlier, saying the headquarters has also sent a few comrades, one of whom I know, and asked me to be responsible for liaising with him. He's expected to arrive by evening—but the problem is, if that Hong Yue is truly a Miao King level expert, and if she comes to cause trouble, even the people from headquarters won't be able to handle it! Unless it's a great demon like the Beihai Whale God."
"You know the Beihai Whale God too?" I asked.
"Of course I know her. Last night, she appeared at Changbai Mountain Tianchi, and there was a live broadcast on the dark web," Sha Wuji chuckled proudly.
"What is this dark web thing?"
"It's a forum run by the Yan Xia demon race. Real-name registration, login, information exchange, etc. It's a legitimate website noted by Shakespeare, and the administrator is Shakespeare's person."
My goodness, there's such a website! I'll definitely check it out later!
"So what do we do, go invite the Beihai Whale God?" I asked.
"How is that possible? The Beihai Whale God never interferes in human affairs. She spends most of her time cultivating in the deep sea. Occasionally, she comes to Changbai Mountain Tianchi to rest. After transforming into human form, she encounters some ginseng pickers, tourists, and even some demons who come to seek her out. They've seen her, but she never talks to people or demons."
"Could she be deaf and mute?"
"Absolutely not. She understands human language and can comprehend what people say, she just doesn't respond. Years ago, someone with the same idea as you tried to curse the Whale God, and she slapped him. He went mad a few days after descending the mountain and has been unable to care for himself since."
"That's… but what did he curse her with?" I asked curiously.
"The common insult, those three words." Sha Wuji was a very well-behaved supporting actor; he wouldn't curse.
I understand. Song Wenzhi's frequent "grass on your mother," I really should have brought that little bastard Song Wenzhi to Tianchi and let the Whale God deal with him.
"Then what do we do…" I sat on a stone stool by the temple entrance.
Sha Wuji patted my shoulder. "This is just my worry. I estimate that 'Hong Yue' won't make a move against us just because of Song Shanhe's death. She herself said Song Shanhe was just a 'puppet'. Besides, didn't you give them a hundred million? That's enough compensation for Mohe."
I knew Sha Wuji was trying to comfort me, but the problem was, we now knew Song Shanhe was a puppet, and his death didn't matter. However, the martial world still believed Song Shanhe was the face and brand of Mohe. I had destroyed their facade and ruined their reputation; how would Mohe continue to fare in the martial world from now on?
"Brother, you should go in and rest too. I want to be alone for a while."
"Relax."
Sha Wuji went into the temple. I reached for my cigarette pack; my Yuxi were gone, and my Da Qian Men bought in Shengjing were also gone. I went to the three luxury cars, and through the car window, I saw a pack of cigarettes in the Mercedes. I opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat of the Mercedes with the door open, and lit a cigarette. As soon as I took a puff, I felt something was wrong – a strong medicinal scent!
I looked at the cigarette pack suspiciously. It was labeled "Cordyceps Sinensis," and looking at the ingredients, it contained cordyceps and tea leaves, but no tobacco. It was probably that "Qing" Daoist's health cigarette. I searched other parts of the car but couldn't find any cigarettes. There were none in the temple either. Since there was nothing else to do, I decided to go to town to buy a pack, and also a few sets of clothes for the fairies to wear after their guardianship was over. They were naked when I last saw them.
Our car was almost out of gas. I got out of the Mercedes, greeted the "Tong Qing" Taoist inside, and borrowed the car. Sha Wuji worried about my safety and wanted to accompany me, but I said it wasn't necessary. At least, Fucheng was safe for now, and the enemy wouldn't come so quickly.
Driving the Mercedes down the mountain, I arrived in town, bought a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and then went to a clothing store and bought ten sets of women's clothing, and ten sets of thermal underwear. The weather was getting colder, and their guardianship might consume their physical and mental energy, so I was afraid they would catch a cold.
After purchasing the items, I checked the time; it was already past four o'clock. I called Xingyao and asked him where he had booked lunch.
Xingyao told me the name of the restaurant. I avoided his place and went to the adjacent restaurant because the food there at noon was too salty!
There were new customers. I ordered twenty boxed meals. The boss said it would be quick as the ingredients were all ready, and the rice had just been cooked. It would be ready in about ten minutes.
I pulled up a chair and sat at the entrance of the restaurant, watching the sun gradually sink. Autumn in the Northeast, the days get dark too early.
At this moment, another Mercedes drove from the direction of the city. It had a Beijing license plate. I immediately activated my qi sensing technique. Wow, there were three Purple Qi signatures inside the car. It was highly likely to be people from Shakespeare's headquarters.
