Chapter 869 - 460: A City Transformed into the Gu Kingdom (2)

Chapter 869: Chapter 460: A City Transformed into the Gu Kingdom (2)

The silver bell earrings on her ears swayed in the wind, chiming softly.

Wang Chonghui nodded with a smile, secretly sneering in his heart.

"Addicted?"

"Heh heh."

"If you don’t get addicted, then the Gu Insect in my flesh would’ve been added for nothing, wouldn’t it?"

The aunt finished scanning the code and picked up the pork.

"Xiaowang, you’re not Yishui Race, right?"

"Sigh, what a pity, our Yishui Race doesn’t intermarry with outsiders."

"If you were Yishui Race, I’d introduce my niece to you."

"My niece is really pretty!"

"Heh heh, see you, auntie will come again tomorrow to cut your meat."

Wang Chonghui exchanged a few friendly words with the aunt and said goodbye.

He sat back down in his own chair.

Suddenly he saw two Immortal Technique Committee members in black uniforms, carrying an Immortal Detector, probing here and there as they passed in front of his meat stall.

These two were also local Yishui people, inspecting as they joked and chatted with passersby.

"Uncle Zhang, you’re here to buy groceries too?"

"How much is beef per jin today?"

"Xiaowang, do you still have intestines here? I’ll come tomorrow to stuff a batch of sausages!"

Wang Chonghui agreed with a smile.

"Alright!"

As for the detector in the Immortal Technique Committee member’s hand sweeping over, he didn’t really care.

After all, this Immortal Detector can only detect up to Immortal Technique Masters of Sequence Eight.

And he... was already Sequence Six.

After sending off those Immortal Technique Committee members, he was just about to rest when he saw two guys in black assault jackets slowly walking through the market.

Wang Chonghui remained calm and collected.

He leaned back in his chair, even narrowing his eyes slightly.

He didn’t need to use his eyes to observe those two.

Because this vegetable market was full of his Gu Insects!

In the cracks between the floor tiles, there were his Gu Insects.

Along the edge of the canopy overhead, there were his Gu Insects.

In the bloody water on the chopping block of the meat stall, there were his Gu Insects.

On the fresh leaves at the vegetable stands, there were his Gu Insects.

Even in this market, inside the head and eyes of every passerby, every vegetable vendor, there were his Gu Insects!

This was a vegetable market, but it was also his Insect Kingdom!

Countless Gu Insects, countless eyes, stared at those two young men in black assault jackets from unseen corners.

"Are those two... Immortal Technique Masters of the Dark Side?"

In his mind, the Ancient Immortal also furrowed its brows.

"Most likely... Previously the Princes held a meeting, drew maps, divided the cake. This little city of Yishui was assigned to Prince Ku Jiao."

"These two are probably Prince Ku Jiao’s people, coming to patrol the city once, get a preliminary look."

The chubby young man, Wang Chonghui, nodded lightly.

"Doesn’t matter."

"At most three more days and our business will be done."

"As long as we hide it well and don’t get noticed by Prince Ku Jiao."

"Three days from now, we’ll be far away from here."

Wang Chonghui narrowed his eyes, watching those two young Immortal Technique Masters leave the market, cross the street, and enter the mall facing the road.

Wang Chonghui didn’t let his guard down, but kept observing those two young men.

That roadside mall also housed his Gu Insects.

On the mall’s chandeliers, on the mall’s floor tiles, at the cash registers, on the shelves, and even in every clerk’s head, eyes, and body in that mall, there were his Gu Insects as well!

That’s right, not just this vegetable market.

The entire Yishui City was crawling with his Gu Insects.

The entire Yishui City was his Gu Kingdom.

Every person in this city carried his Gu!

Lying back in his chair, eyes half-closed, Wang Chonghui watched the two young Immortal Technique Masters. He saw them finish the mall, then go to the park, the museum, the schools, the hospital, the commercial streets... He watched them wander around for half the day before finally getting into a white compact car and leaving Yishui.

"They probably didn’t discover anything, right?"

This city stretched for more than ten li in radius.

This clan numbered well over a hundred thousand.

All of them were being held in his and his Gu Insects’ hands!

With the slightest stir of trouble, the slightest anomaly, the slightest hint of danger, he could flip the table!

...

Swish...

The white compact car sped along, following the highway, gradually leaving Yishui behind, leaving the high-rises, turning onto a provincial road, racing fast in the direction of Sichun.

The two black-clad young men in the car only wiped the sweat off their brows once the scenery outside the windows on both sides turned into wilderness.

"Holy shit, how come everyone in Yishui City carries Prince Bloodline?"

"All of them are the Blood Nourished Prince’s bloodline?"

"After several thousand, even tens of thousands of years, they can still maintain such a large population, such a pure bloodline?"

"That shouldn’t be possible!"

The exchange, fusion, and transformation of bloodlines inevitably occurs over time and through history!

But the two young people quickly figured out the key point.

"Is there a chance that because this Yishui Race doesn’t intermarry with outsiders, neither marrying in nor marrying out, so... this bloodline purity has just been preserved all the way until now?"

"Very likely!"

"We need to hurry up and report this to the Prince!"

...

In the office, Chen Yuanlin walked in, grinning with sweat on his forehead, staggering along as he carried a huge fish tank.

"Expert Bai Mo, your office is way too bare-bones!

"Just so happens this fish tank of mine, I’ve kept it for many years, it’s pretty nice.

"The rocks, the fake mountain, the water plants, and all these little fish inside, I personally put them in.

"Been raising them for years, and it’s getting better and better to look at."

He wobbled along with the fish tank, heading for the east wall of Bai Mo’s office.

"I was thinking, it’d be more fitting putting it here with you than keeping it with me!

"I..."

Wu Qingyun, Fang Xiaoyu, Big Fire Cloud, and Bai Mo all suddenly understood.

So this kid Chen Yuanlin came hugging a fish tank as a gift, to kiss up!

"This... actually..."

Bai Mo really didn’t want it!

Keeping fish is a hassle!

He doesn’t have that hobby either.

He was just about to politely refuse when he saw Chen Yuanlin’s hand slip; the fish tank suddenly tilted and dropped toward the floor!

Inside, the little fish were still darting around, totally unaware that the tank was about to shatter, that they were about to lose their water, about to be smashed, dried out...

Right at that moment... amid everyone’s instinctive panic...

Swish!

A fiery red figure shot under the falling tank—it was Bai Mo’s fox disciple, Big Fire Cloud!

Smack!

Its tail whipped up, slapping the overflowing water and falling fish so they flew back up into the air!

Swish!

Then it lifted both front paws, catching the fish tank solidly!

Splaaaash...

The water and fish it had slapped into the air fell back into the tank, splashing up a few sprays.

Big Red Cloud held up the tank, feeling immensely proud of itself.

"Ying ying ying! Awo awo!"

The guy already said the fish tank was a present for Master, so this fish tank is Fox Mountain’s property!

Since it’s Fox Mountain’s property, of course it wouldn’t just watch it smash!

Now it stood there, happily holding the tank, then found a spare low table in the office and set the tank down.

Seeing the little fish inside happily swimming around, it twisted around, glanced at Chen Yuanlin, and raised a front paw with a thumbs up!

"Awo!"

Xiaochen is sensible and knows how to behave—promising future!

Fang Xiaoyu and Wu Qingyun both looked slightly weirded out.

Chen Yuanlin kept chuckling endlessly.

Bai Mo could only say awkwardly,

"Alright then, thank you, Factory Director Chen.

"I’ll keep the fish tank for now."

After a few more pleasantries and reporting some work, Chen Yuanlin turned and left.

...

Whoosh...

Out on the street in front of the pharmaceutical factory, the cold wind still blew.

Hong Xiaoyun had already checked her backpack and suitcase into the hotel; now she was clutching a freshly made banner scroll, glancing around by the wall corner.

In her mind, Marquis Qing Yue also cast his gaze outward, helping his disciple check the situation on the road.

"Good, that plainclothes guy seems to have gone off shift, he’s not there.

"Right now, stick close to the wall and move forward, be quick, get to the factory gate!

"You remember the whole set of lines Master taught you, right?"

Hong Xiaoyun nodded, took off the hood of her parka, gripped the bright red scroll, hugged the wall, and quickly walked toward the factory gate.

She didn’t go straight in, but instead poked her head into the window of the gate guard’s duty room, putting on a cheerful smile.

"Big brother, hello!"

The two gate guards chatting away turned their heads and saw this little girl.

"What are you here for?"

Hong Xiaoyun leaned on the cold, hard window ledge; seeing their frowning faces inside, she suddenly got nervous, her voice slightly trembling.

"I... I’m here to deliver a banner, I..."

The two guards sounded rather impatient.

"No, no!

"Why is there another one delivering a banner?

"Our Expert Bai Mo doesn’t lack reputation, doesn’t lack honors, and certainly doesn’t lack banners.

"Your heart is in the right place, and we’re very grateful, but we really don’t need it.

"Too many people coming to send banners is actually disrupting our production order.

"Little girl, you should head back!"
