Chapter 2742 - 52: Outsmarted by One’s Own Cleverness (Part 3)

I thought I would see the Family Head, Yuan Jiazheng of the Ape Family, this time.

Now it’s just a few Demon Kings, and that’s barely worth my attention, Chai Asi.

But disappointment aside, he still put on a surprised smile on his face: "It’s actually Young Master Yuan in person! To meet the number one genius of the Sky Sloth Wilderness today, I, Chai Asi, feel truly fortunate beyond measure!"

"Number one in the Sky Sloth Wilderness, just nonsense!" Yuan Mengji gave a reserved smile and waved his hand, "Come, sit down and talk."

The host of the Fruit and Flower Club, Yuan Yizhi, accompanied him with a smile and exited the room, closing the door behind him.

Chai Asi seized the opportunity to move forward, giving out compliments earnestly.

Greeting the Demon with a smile, attending eagerly, that was his expertise, and he did it flawlessly.

As for the matter of flattery.

Being flattered by an utterly unknown Little Monster, and being flattered by Chai Asi, who is about to become one of the top ten young Demon clan members in Mo Yun City, felt entirely different.

Yuan Mengji beamed with delight, thinking that this Little Monster was indeed sensible. Earlier, he considered him just a fortunate loser from a small household who fought hard with limited prospects. Now he feels this guy still has some Spiritual Energy.

"Asi." He asked kindly, "Do you know why I am meeting you in this place? This ordinary inn, without any view or excitement."

Chai Asi accompanied with a smile: "Young Master Yuan’s wisdom is innate; how could I possibly guess your thoughts?"

"You are cunning." Yuan Mengji looked around and said casually, "This inn is my private property. It’s never been exposed. Meeting you here today is to show my sincerity, treating you like family."

Chai Asi was naturally very moved and grateful as if he was ready to risk everything for him.

"I have high hopes for you." Yuan Mengji heavily patted his shoulder, "You are a talented person, and the future Sky Sloth Wilderness definitely has a place for you."

Chai Asi eagerly said, "If there is a place for me in the Sky Sloth Wilderness, it must be because it has already become one of your territories."

Yuan Mengji laughed even more brightly, finally getting to the point: "I came to find you today for a major matter to entrust to you. Once done, I assure you wealth and prosperity!"

To hell with your major matter!

Chai Asi had no interest at all. He only needed to follow the steps. With the favor of the Ancient Divine Venerable, what could he not obtain? Where could he not go?

But for now, he had to reluctantly pretend to be keen: "What is this major matter?"

Yuan Mengji mysteriously: "Do you know She Guyu?"

Chai Asi’s smile froze immediately, no matter how good his disguise was, he couldn’t control himself at this moment: "What do you mean?"

Yuan Mengji clapped his hands: "Let’s do something big!"

Chai Asi said reluctantly: "But she’s a Demon King, and also the new king on the Heavenly List..."

Yuan Mengji frowned unhappily: "She is already seriously injured and will not live long. Beating a drowning dog, what’s there to fear? And we can poison her first, then attack!"

Chai Asi cautiously said: "Little Monster heard that King of Inspiration is hunting her, and it has been several months."

Yuan Mengji snorted: "Mo Yun City is no Divine Fragrance Flower Sea, the treasure belongs to whoever can take it, no one can have things their way!"

Chai Asi’s face was wooden: "Are we really going to snatch food from the mouth of the tiger? The Divine Scented Deer Family is not to be messed with..."

"That’s why I invited you." Yuan Mengji embraced him warmly: "You have no ties and are a strong fighter, right? I’ll gather experts to cooperate with you; we’ll first kill She Guyu. The treasures she carries, we’ll split; it’s your fee for lending your name. You can then hide in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains; who could find you? After ten years or so, Lu Qilang would have forgotten you! By then, you’d change your name and be very successful. You do this major thing for me, wouldn’t I take care of you afterward?"

Yuan Mengji, you’re really a genius!

The benefits are yours, and the consequences are mine. If you bury me deep in the mountains and forests, no one will indeed find me.

Chai Asi harbored murderous thoughts, but he couldn’t just act rashly.

For now, the only strategy was to feign compliance and pretend to agree, then plot slowly. After all, snatching and killing She Guyu from Lu Qilang wasn’t something that could be arranged in a couple of days.

With a bitter face, he said, "Little Monster fears my strength and wits are lacking, only hindering you in this major matter..."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the room’s furnishings and landed on that dusty little mirror on the dressing table, suddenly making his heart skip a beat, breaking out in cold sweat.

He instinctively rubbed his chest, feeling the hard object there, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Scared me to death, I thought I lost the Ancient divine mirror!

The two mirrors looked exactly the same...

Speaking of which, the appearance of the Ancient divine mirror is indeed low-key, much like the common vanity mirrors seen at roadside stalls... Perhaps this is how treasures conceal themselves!
