Chapter 381: Chapter 381: If I Don't Lead, Who Will?
The evil creature, Chi, instructed them to cultivate in this location. He also warned them against touching the seal, lest they cause trouble and end up crying for their parents.
The Qi near the entrance to the Netherworld was potent, greatly beneficial for their cultivation.
Neither the Two-Headed Demon nor the Overlord dared to act rashly. The warning had been crystal clear. If they were still curious, they'd die without knowing how.
They had just learned that the entrance to the Netherworld was here. They were curious about what lay within, and even more curious about who had created the seal.
The Chi King seemed unconcerned, which was strange.
August 3rd!
Morning!
The weather was beautiful. Good weather always lifts the spirits.
Hotel.
Room 313.
The Eighth Prince sat quietly on the sofa, his expression vacant, as if he had become completely dumbfounded. Slowly, he looked at the unfamiliar woman sleeping soundly on the bed.
He didn't recognize her.
She was average-looking, with a common aura. As he thought back, the events of the previous night surfaced in his mind.
He had been drunk, but he remembered everything.
The floor was a mess.
Tissues stained with strange fluids were scattered everywhere.
He raised his hand as if to slap himself.
Damn it.
Was this something a decent person would do?
Last night had been intense.
The images kept replaying in his mind. It was hard to forget. Closing his eyes, all he could see was him and the girl… Ah, it was better left unsaid. Talking about it would only bring tears to his eyes.
A soft whimper.
The girl was awake.
The first thing she did upon opening her eyes was to look for the Eighth Prince. Seeing him sitting quietly on the sofa, her heart melted at his handsomeness.
She had secretly taken pictures of the Eighth Prince and posted them in her group chat and on her Moments (social media feed).
Instantly, her Moments exploded.
Many friends left comments:
"Envious! So incredibly envious."
"Drooling all over my screen."
"I'm wet, completely soaked."
"Please introduce me! I don't want money, I'll serve him perfectly. I'm in love. He's the god among gods!"
Reading the comments, she felt elated.
Then she posted the photos in the group chat.
His perfect physique.
His perfect profile.
"My sisters, I must have saved the galaxy in my past life to have slept with such a perfect male god. I've hit the jackpot! I love this job! Every day is like buying a lottery ticket!"
She was truly excited.
It was an indescribable feeling.
Such a steal.
She would have been willing to pay him.
Instantly, the group chat exploded.
"Holy crap! This man is too…"
"Keep him! You must keep him! Get his contact information quickly! Tell him that if he wants to have fun in the future, he can look for us! We won't charge a penny!"
"You're so lucky! I've been in this business for years and I've never encountered someone of this caliber."
"How's his performance?"
The once quiet group chat was now buzzing with excitement. Whether men or women, their thoughts were the same.
Girls liked handsome guys and wanted to sleep with them.
When you walked down the street and a girl looked at you, she was definitely thinking, "Wow, what a handsome guy. It would be amazing to sleep with him."
It was mutual.
Just like when men saw beautiful women, they had the same thoughts.
The girl got out of bed, wearing a loose T-shirt, and stood seductively behind the Eighth Prince. She placed her hand on his shoulder and whispered,
"Little brother, did you have fun last night?"
The Eighth Prince's mind was reeling. As the Eighth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan, he couldn't bear to have experienced such a thing.
"Yes, it was fun."
The Eighth Prince never lied. Last night had been wild.
He had never experienced anything like it.
This less-than-stunning girl had opened up a new world for him, like discovering a new continent.
Click!
The Eighth Prince opened the door and left. At the same time, his entourage emerged from their rooms. Standing in the doorway, they exchanged glances, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
"Gentlemen, is everyone finished?" the one-eyed man asked as he emerged.
He hadn't returned to his room last night.
He had booked a room next door. The sounds throughout the night had been a torment, a continuous wave of moans, one after another.
He could hear everything through the walls.
The one-eyed man thought to himself that the people from the Starry Sky Great Clans were nothing special. He hadn't expected them to be so lustful.
"Why are you here?" the Eighth Prince asked.
He felt like he had been caught red-handed doing something shameful.
"I was worried," the one-eyed man replied.
He wanted to tell them that their behavior last night was illegal, and that as the head of the special department, he was derelict in his duty for not reporting them.
However, considering they had come from afar and might not be familiar with the local customs, he would forgive them for now.
"I didn't do anything last night," the Eighth Prince said.
"Yes, I understand. You indeed did nothing," the one-eyed man said with a smile, thinking to himself, "Then the sounds last night must have been dogs barking. Very loud barking, very enthusiastic barking. Alcohol enhances excitement and boosts combat power, indeed."
Even the entourage members nodded in agreement, indicating that they, like their Eighth Prince, had been very well-behaved. They had done absolutely nothing. What you saw was all an illusion, nonexistent.
Special Department.
The one-eyed man settled the Golden Crow Clan members in a designated location and assigned personnel to take care of them, which was essentially to monitor their every move and keep them within sight.
After all…
The Golden Crow Clan members possessed terrifying strength. Apart from Lin Fan, no one else could suppress them.
At this moment, the one-eyed man looked at his phone. He knew that Old Master Xu from Xiadu would definitely call.
He answered the call.
"You're quite something, quietly receiving people from the Starry Sky Great Clans. Good things should be shared. I heard you obtained many good things in Changbai Mountain and even comprehended some ultimate techniques. Can you share them with Xiadu?"
Old Master Xu went straight to the point.
He knew the one-eyed man too well.
Beating around the bush with him was a waste of time.
"Old Master Xu, you're very straightforward," the one-eyed man said with a smile.
"There's no other way. If I'm not straightforward, you'll try to brush me off," Old Master Xu said with a laugh. Sometimes he felt embarrassed. Xiadu was the capital, and he was the head of the special department headquarters, yet he had gained nothing. Meanwhile, Yanhai City was flourishing with achievements.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.
"Alright, no problem," the one-eyed man said.
"So readily? No requests?"
"None. Everything we do is to protect humanity, isn't it?"
The righteous one-eyed man. Old Master Xu believed he hadn't misjudged him. Indeed, only someone like him was qualified to be the leader of a city.
Currently, the research department of the Yanhai City Special Department was very busy.
They needed to analyze many things.
Those things were very mysterious to them. If they could decipher them, it would be of great help.
Shadow Society.
Mu Hao and the others had been staying at the Shadow Society recently, eating well, drinking well, and living a perfect life.
Bei Tao and the other high-ranking members were under a lot of pressure.
According to their secret intelligence, the special department had obtained many useful things from the famous mountains and great rivers, which was not good news for them.
In the conference room, a group of high-ranking members sat around a table.
"Can we still contact the evil creatures?" an elder asked.
"No."
"Damn it, as expected, those beasts are unreliable."
The Shadow Society had once cooperated with the evil creatures, investing money and effort. They even provided Genetic Beasts to help some of them increase their power, but now they had disappeared without a trace.
Even if they weren't going to cooperate anymore, they should have at least left a message.
So inconsiderate!
So rude!
"Ahem, these are minor issues," Bei Tao said in a hoarse voice, his face hidden behind a mask. "The golden bowl I brought back from Changbai Mountain has been analyzed. It's a great gain for us. The bowl is hundreds of years old and contains a Buddhist ultimate technique. This undoubtedly puts us ahead of the special department."
Speaking of this, they were all very happy.
After all, this was a Buddhist ultimate technique from hundreds of years ago, a powerful technique they had never seen before. As long as they cultivated it, their strength would definitely increase dramatically.
Then it would be their time to shine.
"How should we explain this to those guys?"
They were referring to Mu Hao and the others.
Bei Tao said, "We'll explain it as we see fit. We can't afford to offend them for now, and we can't let small gains outweigh larger ones. If we offend them and miss the opportunity to connect with them, we might lose even more."
A rational analysis.
Although in Bei Tao's heart, Mu Hao and the other Starry Sky Great Clan members were weak. He used to think they were powerful, but recent events had completely changed his impression.
From beginning to end, they seemed to have been constantly beaten.
If they could just stand their ground for a while, he wouldn't have such a low opinion of them.
"Let me summarize. For our Shadow Society to grow stronger and bigger, we need to focus on the following things."
"First, we must maintain close contact with the Starry Sky Great Clans, not just the Mu Clan, but also other great clans. Ideally, we should become their sole partners here."
"Second, we must step up our efforts to win over Lin Fan. Mu Qing and Yao Ji have been very disappointing. We've given them enough time, but they haven't accomplished anything. We need to give them a good talking-to. Their current achievements are all thanks to the Shadow Society's cultivation."
"Third, we need to compile all myths and legends from ancient times, leaving no stone unturned. We must understand them thoroughly. Based on what we know now, myths and legends may not be just legends. They might have actually happened."
Bei Tao was a man of the world, after all, he was the only one who had been to Changbai Mountain.
And he had established contact with the Starry Sky Great Clans.
Therefore… If I don't lead, who will?
Everyone nodded in agreement.
His words made perfect sense.
