Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

"I'm sorry, grandpa."

Chen Duo apologized to Xia Liuqing expressionlessly, then turned and left, thinking to herself as she walked.

The mission went relatively smoothly... Now all we need to do is send Grandma Jinfeng back to the village, and the mission will be complete.

Thinking that she would have money to go find Zhou Fengliu after completing the mission, a thoughtful look flashed across Chen Duo's face.

She had an idea.

What if he cheats her out of money?

The question flashed through her mind, and she quickly came up with an answer.

If you're going to scam her out of money... then go ahead and scam her. She can just consider it a way to choose whether or not to pay.

...

Xia Liuqing watched Chen Duo and her group leave. He wanted to keep chasing after them, but he collapsed to the ground with a thud after only taking a couple of steps.

"Golden Phoenix..."

"No!"

Xia Liuqing's voice echoed through the woods, accompanied by a misty drizzle. He looked quite miserable. If one were to choose a background music for him at this moment, "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" would probably be quite suitable.

...

P.S.: I'm begging for everything as usual. This newbie author is online and sobbing.

Goodnight, godfathers. Sweet dreams.

Chapter 146 What are the odds of winning if we control Biyou Village? Zhou: 10/90! They're 10%, I'm 90%.

at the same time.

Qiu'er and Xiao Zizai, who were rushing this way, also encountered Chen Duo's group of men in black in the forest.

After recognizing the group of men in black as company employees who had come to chase Chen Duo, they immediately launched an attack, only to be slapped into oblivion by Xiao Zizai's merciful hand.

One of the women in black appeared to have some high-level protective magic artifacts in her hands, yet she was unharmed after taking a blow from Xiao Zizai's "Great Compassionate Hand".

"Very good, this one is somewhat dangerous, we can kill him."

A joyful smile gradually spread across Xiao Zizai's face. Before he could even make a move, Qiu'er stepped forward.

"Brother Xiao, let me do it!"

After he finished speaking, he rushed towards the man in black. With his skillful hands, the man in black's body changed, as if he had ridden a motorcycle and driven into the clouds.

He lay on the ground, trembling, as if he were being pushed higher and higher by wave after wave in a giant wave.

"What kind of tricks are you using?"

Seeing that the man in black could still speak, Qiu'er increased the pressure on his hands, causing the man in black to make even more strange noises.

"This technique was originally called the Vajra Armor Technique. I've slightly modified it, making the originally violent force much gentler so it can penetrate your body and gently caress your nerves and glands... It feels very comfortable, right? This Love Massage is dedicated to you."

Qiu'er easily dealt with the man in black.

Hiding in the shadows, Zhang Chulan swallowed hard when he saw the effect of the move and the puddle of water on the ground.

Good guy.

This is an unorthodox move...

He was a little unsure how to comment.

...

The battle is over.

Qiu'er defeated the enemy, who was in ecstasy. However, the "good guy" Xiao Zizai's expression was a bit off; he seemed a little angry.

"Shockball, stop it, you're making her suffer.

Just then, a person emerged from the woods.

This person was a temporary worker in the Northwest.

What one sees is a middle-aged, overweight man with round-framed glasses, an ordinary appearance, and a plump figure.

"you are?"

"I'm from the Northwest, just call me Lao Meng," the temporary worker introduced himself.

"Do you think he's pitiful? Look at her, isn't she having a pretty good time?"

Qiu'er removed the black-clad man's cloth cover, revealing the panting face of a woman beneath it.

"Given the situation just now, if Brother Xiao had forcibly broken through the magic artifact's protection, the girl's fate would have been even worse."

As the sound of the ball rang out, Xiao Zizai, who was suppressing his impulse while tapping a tree, swallowed hard.

"Brother Xiao, don't blame me. I didn't mean to steal your prey."

"Yes, you did very well, very well."

Xiao Zizai looked at Qiu'er with a gloomy expression and said, "This mission clearly stated that I can only kill Chen Duo..."

Upon hearing that Chen Duo was to be killed, Old Meng stepped forward somewhat embarrassed.

"Um...I beg you all to spare Chen Duo's life..."

"?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.

The company's mission is clear: Chen Duo must be brought back, life or death. Why is the temporary worker in the Northwest region letting Chen Duo live?

Could there be a traitor in the company?

Zhang Chulan frowned upon hearing this.

"What do you mean? Are you telling us to abandon this mission?"

“No…” Upon hearing Xiao Zizai’s words, Old Meng shook his head:

"What I mean is to spare Chen Duo's life. Take her back alive, and headquarters will handle her affairs."

"What's your relationship?" Xiao Zizai asked curiously.

"To be honest... I brought Chen Duo out of the Medicine Immortal Society." Old Meng sighed and then told Xiao Zizai, Qiu'er, and the temporary workers hiding in the shadows about Chen Duo's tragic background.

The Gathering of Medicine Immortals!

The culprit behind Chen Duo's tragic past.

This is a cult organization. Most of its members use Gu techniques. In pursuit of the ultimate Gu techniques, they began to experiment with using people to refine Gu. After continuous experimentation, they finally decided to use infants, whose innate Qi is relatively pure, as a vessel for refining Gu.

The general method is to select forty-nine infants and feed them with all the known poisons.

Seven years later, the surviving children will be taken to live together in a place, like raising Gu poison, where they will be eliminated one by one. The strongest one who has the most Gu poison skills and whose Gu poison is more lethal than others will become the Gu Saint Child.

Chen Duo grew up under the remnants of the Medicine Immortal Society...it's a truly tragic story. When the company first rescued her, she had almost lost all sense of humanity, knowing only how to obey orders...

After listening to Lao Meng's story, everyone present fell silent. Zhang Chulan, shameless as ever, quietly took out his phone to observe the reactions of the temporary workers in the group.

Northeast: I support Lao Meng, Chen Duo needs to be captured alive...

Huazhong: I don't care...

Seeing the two people's statements in the group, Zhang Chulan's expression changed slightly.

This trip wasn't a waste of time...

These people can be used... who knows, they might gain something from it.

Zhang Chulan began to have other ulterior motives at this moment...

...

"What? A Gu-body Saint Child? You're saying there's a Gu master in this village who's skilled in using poison?"

At the same time, inside Biyou Village, Wang Ye was asking Zhou Fengliu to tell him whether there were any other combat forces in Biyou Village besides the few high-level cultivators he had seen that night.

Just then, Zhou Fengliu finished speaking about Chen Duo, the Gu-body Saint Child cultivated by the Medicine Immortal Society.

"Hey, Lao Wang, what exactly do you want to know? Why are you asking all this?" Zhou Fengliu lay on the bed, turned to look at Wang Ye, and slowly asked.

"Old Zhou..." Wang Ye was silent for a moment after being asked by Zhou Fengliu, and then looked at Zhou Fengliu very seriously.

"I know you're good at fighting... Can you control Biyou Village?"

"?"

Wang Ye's words took Zhou Fengliu somewhat by surprise.

"Old Wang, what are you trying to do?"

“If you can control the entire Biyou Village, then I can challenge Ma Xianhong to a duel and cripple him,” Wang Ye said seriously.

"Crippled... Ma Xianhong?" Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin, then considered the difficulty of controlling Biyou Village for him.

how to say?

Based on his observations over the past few days, there weren't many capable fighters in Biyou Village; their only advantage was numbers. However, he could also summon Qi Maidens to provide support...
