If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 25 Playboy Condensation Cream
Soon it was the end of the month settlement day.

Li Yanmo accepted the fact that he did not go bankrupt very calmly.

Although he had an extra 30,000 spirit stones, his spirit fruit reserves had dropped from a desperate 60,000 jin to 50,000 jin, and were decreasing at a very considerable rate.

The zoo tactic was remarkably effective. Of course, the biggest contributor was that old man, Mei Chai Shao, who devoured the spiritual fruit like candy, never seeming to feel full. Most importantly, Mei Chai Shao ate, yet never forgot to work. Besides eating, drinking, and sleeping, he read to the animals from his Qigong manual, but it was a shame it was ineffective.

During this period, Li Yanmo has become more familiar with Leng Ningshuang. I don’t know if it is Li Yanmo’s illusion, but Leng Ningshuang would look confused from time to time, but when Li Yanmo asked, Leng Ningshuang would nervously say that it was okay.

Thinking that although Leng Ningshuang was heroic, she was still a girl, he was very graceful and did not ask.

"Brother Li, Brother Li! Here, here!"

Li Yanmo looked around and finally found the person who greeted him in the corner.

The other person was a fair-faced scholar holding a folding fan in his hand, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were squeezing towards him.

Li Yanmo stared at the other person for a while before exclaiming in surprise, "Cold—"

"Brother Li, keep your voice down!"

Seeing that Li Yanmo was about to reveal his identity, Leng Ningshuang immediately stepped forward and pressed her folding fan against Li Yanmo's mouth.

Li Yanmo also saw that Leng Ningshuang did not want to reveal her identity, and immediately nodded.

Leng Ningshuang then took a step back, opened her folding fan, and peach blossoms unfolded from the fan.

"I'm a playboy now. I wonder if Brother Li is free now?"

"Playboy Hua specially came to invite me, so Li is naturally free."

Seeing that Leng Ningshuang seemed quite enthusiastic about playing the role of a playboy, and no longer had the entanglement and depression of the past few days, Li Yanmo didn't want to spoil Leng Ningshuang's interest, so he clasped his fists and bowed solemnly.

Leng Ningshuang raised her brows in satisfaction. She waved her folding fan, stepped in four directions, and brought Li Yanmo to the tallest restaurant in Risheng City - Yellow Crane Tower. She threw a gold bar at him casually.

The shopkeeper personally went out to greet the guest, "Mr. Hua, it's been a long time since we last met. I thought we had upset you."

"Boss, you're not talking nonsense. I got into some trouble before and was put in solitary confinement by my family. Now I finally got out, so I came to you to have fun," Leng Ningshuang laughed and waved her hands.

Li Yanmo, who was standing aside, had a strange expression on his face.

He had heard people say before that women are born to be dramatic, and now it seems that there is some truth to it.

In constable mode, Leng Ningshuang is heroic, with a flag behind him that reads "I will never reconcile with evil." Now, in playboy mode, Leng Ningshuang is a suave playboy.

Led by the shopkeeper, Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang came to the top floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, a private room with a flowery sign hanging on it.

"Don't worry, playboy. You are the only one who can use this place. We will clean it every day to ensure there is no dust at all."

The shopkeeper personally opened the door for Leng Ningshuang, and it seemed as if a tail was swinging back and forth behind him.

Leng Ningshuang nodded in satisfaction, "Go down first, I'll call you if there's anything."

"okay!"

When the shopkeeper left, he bowed respectfully to Li Yanmo, without showing any contempt for Li Yanmo's simple attire.

After the door was closed, Leng Ningshuang regained some of her heroic appearance. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she fanned herself with a fan. "Brother Li, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. My original identity was too conspicuous."

"It's okay, I find it quite fresh too."

Li Yanmo smiled and shook his head, then walked to the window. The view here was great, and you could see a lot of places.

"Ahem—Brother Li, I'm here to express my gratitude. Thanks to you, we've been able to catch quite a few members of the Demon Immortal Cult."

Leng Ningshuang coughed, put her hands on her knees and thanked Li Yanmo seriously.

"The soldiers will never forget your assistance."

"The time hasn't come yet. What you caught are just the broken tails of lizards." Li Yanmo leaned against the window, observing the pedestrians on the road. "This isn't the first time the Demon Immortal Cult has done something like this. They won't be caught that easily. Maybe... they deliberately let you capture those people to draw your attention back."

Leng Ningshuang was stunned. Instead of asking why immediately, she pinched her chin.

After pondering for a moment, Leng Ningshuang reacted.

"The Demon Immortal Cult probably has other means to transform the animals in your possession into demons. So, for them, even if you move those animals out of Risheng City, it won't be a big deal."

"But if the military sect is certain that you are members of the Demon Immortal Cult, and they slaughter all the animals in your possession as a precaution, then their plan will be completely wasted."

Li Yanmo nodded and continued, "The situation is different now. Those animals are outside Risheng City, and their owner is not a merchant from other places, but the Shen family."

"Now that the three members of the Shen family have all cultivated, they are cultivators rather than ordinary people, so there are not so many rules restricting the military sect."

"The military can just take action directly under the pretext of protecting the safety of the people of Risheng City."

Leng Ningshuang frowned slightly. "In order to reduce suspicion on you, they deliberately threw out some bait to maintain balance and distract our attention... This is indeed a troublesome matter."

Leng Ningshuang paused and then added, "Don't worry, we won't slaughter your animals just to get things over with."

"Thank you, but if the Demon Immortal Cult is not eliminated, when the time comes, whether those animals can survive or not is not up to you or me."

Li Yanmo shook his head, and Leng Ningshuang remained silent.

For the sake of the common people, if it really comes to the last resort, the military will definitely choose to kill all those animals.

The constables now surrounding the zoo are doing so to prevent the Demon Fairy Cult from getting close, and also to make preparations.

"...Mr. Leng, how is your reputation as Mr. Hua in Risheng City?"

Li Yanmo suddenly asked.

Leng Ningshuang was stunned, not understanding why Li Yanmo asked this, but still said awkwardly, "He's a suave playboy. Occasionally he gets into trouble and gets locked up by his family, but he never changes his ways."

"Do you go to places like casinos?"

Leng Ningshuang tilted her head back and said, "I do know a little bit about it. You don't want to go there, do you? Let me make it clear first, even though that place is a gray area, it doesn't mean it's illegal."

"Master Leng, if I, the owner of the zoo, frequently visited those corrupt places and intentionally or unintentionally promoted the teachings of the Demon Immortal Cult...what would you, the military sect, think?"

"Of course I suspect you...ah——"

Leng Ningshuang reacted.

"Brother Li, what do you mean?!"

"The Demon Immortal Cult wants to balance the suspicion between me and them, so why not just increase the suspicion on me?"
