Chapter 137 Old grudges
Chapter 137 Old grudges
"Xiao Fei, I never knew you were so amazing."
"Jiji!"
Xiao Fei is showing off his new look.
"Ah~"
Less than two minutes later, the man and the chicken went limp as if deflated. "I forgot we were still poisoned. We can't go on like this. We have to get back quickly."
On a rooftop, the Qilin watched this scene with a smile, completely satisfied.
……
Xuanwu Kingdom, in the north.
Due to the climate, most people from Xuanwu Kingdom do not live here; Plum Blossom Manor is an exception.
For this reason, this place became a cemetery for the burial of those masters from the Xuanwu Kingdom.
The graves of countless masters stand here.
A cold wind blew, and a figure appeared in front of several tombstones, with several weapons beside them.
The eyeless monk stood to the side and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go back."
"...Let's go."
……
"Fresh oranges, so sweet, sweeter than first love! Buy them now or they'll be gone! Buy some oranges, young man."
"Auntie, how much are these oranges?"
"Let me break one off for you to try first."
"It's not sweet either. How much is it per pound?"
"Two hundred yuan per kilogram."
"It's so expensive, I won't buy it."
He casually tossed the half-eaten orange back into the ground.
As a result, the old woman simply threw the orange onto the scale next to her, and the pointer pointed precisely to one jin (500 grams).
"The oranges you just ate weighed exactly one pound, and cost two hundred yuan."
"Um!?!"
Passersby were stunned. "Grandma, isn't this blatant robbery?"
Um! ?
Seeing this, the old woman's eyes narrowed, then she kicked over the fruit basket in front of her, lay down on the ground, and hugged her other leg, crying out, "Ouch! Help! Someone is hitting an old person!"
A passerby exclaimed, "Huh!??"
"Who is this?"
"How could you hit an old man?"
"that is……"
It was morning, and the commotion quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
"Alright, alright, I'll buy them all, okay?"
In the end, the passerby bought all the oranges with tears in his eyes.
However, the old lady still had some principles, but not many. She only charged two hundred yuan for one orange, and the rest were all sold out...
"Why am I having such bad luck today? (tears streaming down his face)."
"Hehehe, I made an extra two hundred yuan today. I can buy Xiaolong a toy. Ah, and if I buy half a roast chicken, he'll be laughing so hard his eyes will disappear."
Granny Chen turned and left.
A cardboard box by the roadside suddenly opened its eyes and followed.
"A worthy death!"
Wu Liuqi's new mission: to assassinate Granny Chen...
The result was predictable: after some twists and turns, it ended in failure.
……
"Ah Qi, you really don't have the talent to be an assassin. Let me do it. Humanity's greatest weakness is emotion!"
Whizzing!
Zheng!
……
"If you keep doing this, you'll be sleeping on the streets!"
Wu Liuqi, hanging on the clothesline, was speechless.
Meanwhile, somewhere on the island, Qilin was enjoying some barbecue skewers.
"Hahaha!"
"You really have a leisurely life."
Holding a phone in one hand, Qilin was making a call to Qin Ming.
Transmitting a message over a long distance also consumes internal energy. What era are we living in? Of course, we use a telephone.
"It's alright, this place is actually quite nice, and there's an interesting young man here too."
"Ok?"
After a moment of hesitation, Qin Ming also thought of Qi, who should be Wu Liuqi by now.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since you're over there, go and take care of something."
"I'm retired now..."
Qilin wanted to refuse. He had finally settled into retirement, why should he have to work again?
"You don't have to go, it's about your good apprentice Mo Lang."
"Tsk, what trouble has this kid gotten himself into now?"
"Old problem, destroying a secret research base in the Kingdom of Ster without asking why, resulting in the escape of a batch of test subjects. Yan Yan is over, you handle this matter."
"Test subject?"
"It's similar to your situation. You should ask Bai Qi for details."
Qin Ming was too lazy to say more. He wasn't going to get involved in this matter; it was Mo Lang who had started it all along.
Mo Lang had never joined the Pill Pavilion. His only connection to the Pill Pavilion was Qilin. Now that he had caused trouble again, naturally only his master Qilin could cover for him.
"understood."
The Qilin sighed, stood up, and disappeared from the spot.
……
Inside a conference hall in the Kingdom of Stur.
Swensen looked at his subordinate and lowered his gaze, saying, "You handle the matter of the Xuanwu No. 1 experimental base yourself."
"Yes……"
Her long hair was tied into two long ponytails, and her face was expressionless.
There are obvious signs of cosmetic surgery on his face.
Upon receiving the order, he stood up and left, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, as steady as a robot.
Swinson, "..."
……
Not long after, the Qilin returned to the southern border of the Xuanwu Kingdom.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Qilin sighed, his expression somewhat complicated.
They're back again. Oh well, I'll just get this sorted out as soon as possible and leave quickly.
Having obtained intelligence from Bai Qi, Qilin successfully arrived at a research base hidden on the border of Xuanwu Kingdom.
The Black Rock Research Base, which originally had another name... Black Reef.
“Our research subjects are all vicious criminals who have entered Black Reef, but this project is being handled by one of Swensen’s men, so I don’t know the specifics. Alang should still be in that area.”
Bai Qi's tone didn't seem very worried. He had been communicating with Mo Lang and knew very well that Mo Lang's strength was now vastly different from what it used to be.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the Demon King of Heaven and Earth back then.
"understood."
After losing contact, Qilin called Mo Lang again, but the message said, "The user you dialed is not in service area, please try again later..."
"Tsk!"
After thinking for a moment, Qilin called Yan Yan.
A few minutes later, Yan Yan appeared on the scene, which surprised even Qilin.
"Why are you here?!"
However, Qilin's expression immediately turned serious. "It seems that kid has gotten himself into quite a bit of trouble this time. Qin Ming even brought you here."
Yan Yan frowned, took a long cloth bag from behind her and handed it to him, explaining, "There are probably three experts. It's a bit troublesome. Mo Lang is recovering from his injuries."
"Huh? You're injured?"
"The other side has a means to counter the power of the Blood Demon."
"Be specific."
boom!
Before the two could finish their conversation, a huge rock suddenly fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed!
The two men's expressions hardened, and then they simultaneously drew their knives and vanished from their spots almost at the same time.
Zheng! Zheng!
The next moment, countless blades of light swept across the void, slicing through the boulder, which was as big as a small mountain, and crashed to the ground!
"Not bad, it seems your martial arts skills haven't declined."
"Humph."
The Qilin smiled.
Unlike him, Yan Yan still chose to stay in Xuanwu Kingdom; he couldn't afford to slack off.
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the hem of his clothes was torn, and he sighed inwardly, "Time waits for no one."
"Qilin, you're really tough!"
"Well?"
Just then, several figures slowly appeared around them.
The three leaders were all teenagers with spiky hair, their eyes modified into mechanical ones, and dressed in clothing from the Kingdom of Ster.
There was also a tall, thin old man with a pair of jet-black wings behind him, the wings having a metallic sheen.
The last one is a middle-aged man whose arm has been modified into a mechanical arm, with a serious expression.
The one speaking to the Qilin was the Iron-Armed Man.
Qilin blinked, tried hard to remember, but still couldn't recall who the other person was. "Um...do we know each other?"
"..."
The other party's gloomy face darkened even more, then revealed a chilling killing intent, "As expected of you, former chief shadow assassin Qilin."
"excuse me."
Qilin raised his hand to interrupt the other party, and pointed to Yan Yan beside him, "She is the former chief shadow assassin. I was the one before her. By the way, I am her master."
Yan Yan (disdainfully), "Tsk..."
The other party (frustrated) pointed at the Qilin and roared, "Shut up! In short, I'm here to get revenge on you! No... I should say we are."
"All?"
Qilin then took a closer look at the other two and seemed to recognize them. However, he hadn't been an assassin for many years, and he had done too many missions during his time as a Shadow Assassin, so he couldn't remember them at all. He could only rub his forehead in frustration.
"Feel sorry……"
"It's okay, I'll help you remember."
boom!
A terrifying golden aura emerged, enveloping the mechanical arm. With a single palm strike, a terrifying burst of energy emanated from its body.
The ultimate technique of the Buddha's Hand School: Floating Pagoda Hand!
"Oh... I think I do remember now."
