Collapse Iron: I'm a Succubus in the Universe

During their conversation, the group learned that the young girl from the Chiming clan was named Bailu, and was indeed a renowned physician on the Immortal Ship.

Of course, she was also a child who secretly slipped out of the house without even bringing enough money, but she was still very serious about treating patients.

Staying here won't be of much help, since they don't know how to cure diseases. Perhaps they can help when they unlock the Abundant Destiny, but that's a matter for later.

Qiong shook her head and decided to wander around some more. This time, she managed to find out a lot of useful information, such as that Bailu was actually the dragon girl of the Chiming clan.

There seems to be some problem with the Taipusi side; the intelligence mentioned things like "plants" and "roots."

This inevitably reminded Sora of Kafka, who had been taken there, but hopefully she was alright.

Chapter 173 Qingque, you don't want the Grand Diviner to know about this, do you?

Just then, someone approached Qiong. The person claimed to be a staff member of the Earth Balance Division named Dahao, and expressed his gratitude for Dahao's help in saving the people and Bailu.

Furthermore, since he had something to discuss with Qiong and the others, he went with them to their office, mainly to ask them for help with an investigation.

Why have there been so many cases of people falling into demonic possession lately? To answer this, we must mention the secret teachings of the Medicine King.

Here is also a letter that I found on one of the people who had fallen into demonic possession when I rescued Huanlong at the port.

This is a letter that man wrote to his sister, in which he recounts being experimented on by people from the Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司), a matter related to the secret teachings of the Medicine King.

Upon learning of this, Da Hao broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly left. After a long while, he returned with a woman named Qingzu, who was the chief strategist by the general's side.

She had also read the letter and, following the general's orders, investigated the matter, explaining some things about the secret teachings of the Medicine King.

He asked Qiong to continue the investigation, and she did not refuse. However, she did not expect that she would actually find the pyramid scheme members of this organization after going out for a walk.

Isn't this a coincidence? Since we've run into each other, we should definitely go and take a look. What we didn't expect was that there were quite a few people here, including a Yunqi Army soldier who had infiltrated the area.

This started very quickly. Qiong glanced at it briefly and realized that this piece was quite long. Copying it 500 times would take a lot of time.

Fortunately, the undercover Yunqi Army soldier helped finish copying the documents at that time; otherwise, Qiong would probably have had to choose other methods to deceive them.

After that, Qiong passed the test, but there was a second test, which was to fight to the death. Fortunately, Qiong had the means to deceive the perception of others.

It's truly unbelievable that this Yunqi Army soldier went undercover without even investigating the specific procedures.

Having successfully left the pyramid scheme site, the Yunqi Army soldier, who had been feigning death, gave a few words of warning before rushing back to report the incident.

As for Qiong, she has already infiltrated the organization. Incidentally, on the other side of the same time...

"Miss March, do you... really not know where your benefactor has gone?"

"Oh dear, Miss Tingyun, I've told you so many times, I really don't know! Qiong is always elusive, he'll probably be back later."

March sighed helplessly, wondering to herself why Tingyun kept asking her where Qiong was. Did he have something important to tell her?

“Alright, then… when my benefactor returns, please let me know, Miss March, as I have something important to discuss with him.”

"no problem."

Upon receiving this reply, Huanlong gritted her teeth and left, inwardly complaining.

"Damn it, didn't you promise to take it off after shopping? Where did you go now?!"

At this moment, Qiong had successfully completed the mission of the Medicine King's secret teachings, and then encountered the previous undercover agent who had betrayed her.

The problem is that if my expression is even slightly off, the other party will recognize me. Now there's no way out. Since my identity has been exposed, none of us can expect to live!

They successfully broke through and handed over the intelligence they brought to Qingzu. Now that things had come to this, the Shence Prefecture was ready to close in.

"However, the prescription you obtained... is outside my area of ​​expertise. Why don't you seek help from a professional? I believe they will give the Shence Mansion face."

Qingzu's suggestion was very practical. After searching around, Qiong finally found a pill refiner named Danshu and read the prescription to him.

That's right, this Dan Shu is blind, and because he was born blind, coupled with the physical condition of the Immortal Ship people, he is completely incurable.

After learning of the prescription, Dan Shu needed some time to study it, so Qiong took a step away. Just then, Dan Heng sent a message.

He had already arrived at the Immortal Ship and inquired about the situation of the others. Qiong said there were no problems and learned some of their experiences from them.

Qiong then returned to the square in Changletian. Sanyueqi happened to be strolling around nearby and immediately went up to greet him when he saw him return.

"Qiong! You're finally back! Miss Tingyun was so worried about you. By the way, where did you go?"

"I went to help out a bit. By the way, where is Miss Tingyun now?"

Qiong didn't go into details, as the situation was too complicated to explain in a short time, while Sanyue took out her phone.

"I don't know. It seems Miss Tingyun went to see you. I'll send her a message."

Before the message could be sent, Qiong's phone rang first; it was a message from an unknown account.

"Hello everyone, I'm waiting for you. I've calculated that you should be here by now, but I have urgent business to attend to and can't get away."

The message also included a photo. After a short wait, Uncle Yang and Huanlong returned, but the latter looked at Qiong with a resentful expression.

The group didn't linger. Now that everyone was present, they naturally headed to the location shown in the photo to find their contact.

They happened to stumble upon a card game here, and one of the girls was called Blue Sparrow.

With her long, light gray hair in pigtails and dressed in a small, dark blue outfit, she was blinking her emerald green eyes as she stared at the card game on the table, while her fellow card players couldn't help but tease her.

"I heard that the Grand Diviner's grotto has also suffered a disaster. Qingque, how come you still have the mind to play cards?"

"Oh dear, even if the sky were to fall over the Grand Diviner's office, the Grand Diviner would still hold it up. Although she is not tall, her abilities are unparalleled."

Qingque waved her hand naturally, while emphasizing that she was here on the orders of the Grand Diviner to await the distinguished guest.

"Time is so precious, I call this 'working while slacking off'."

As they were talking, Qiong had already arrived beside Qingque.

"It seems this person must be our contact."

"Oh? Greetings, gentlemen! Judging from your distinguished appearances, I know you must be honored guests of the Grand Diviner!"

Upon hearing Qiong's words, Qingque, who had been focused on drawing cards, immediately turned around and greeted the group with a smile, but Qiong wasn't buying it.

After all, they were called over just for this kind of thing, and they'd been kept waiting for so long.

"Miss, you don't want the fortune teller to know you're playing cards, do you?"

When Fu Xuan was mentioned, Qing Que was still a little flustered, but with the game of cards right in front of her, she couldn't help but want to finish the game. San Yueqi was dumbfounded when she saw this.

It was truly frustrating; Qingque replied while continuing to play cards.

"Yes! Ah, my wish has been fulfilled, and I have no more worries. Guest, please, let's set off."

Chapter 174 March: Qiong, don't be fooled by the mature older sister again!

"I am truly sorry to have kept you all waiting for so long."

Despite saying that, Qingque didn't even blush, while Qiong was quite interested in the Imperial Jade Token.

Of course, the important thing right now was the business at hand. Not long after they started walking together, March 7th noticed something unusual not far away.

A colossal ancient tree pierced the clouds. After Huanlong's introduction, the group learned that it was the "Jianmu," a treasure that the "Luofu" Immortal Ship had once been proud of.

Qingque was somewhat surprised to hear this introduction, since almost none of the younger generations could explain the origin of "Jianmu".

However, she didn't pay too much attention to it. Afterwards, she rode the Star Chariot all the way to Taibusi. During the journey, Qingque mentioned some precautions.

The main thing was to avoid provoking Fu Xuan, but when she actually got to the door, she was stunned. It wasn't that she couldn't reach the lock, but that the door was locked.

"That's weird, the main gate is locked. It's never been locked before, and no one asked me to bring my key before I left. Hey, even if the cafeteria food is terrible, you can't just turn away your guests!"

Qingque called out tentatively twice, but received no response. At this moment, March 7 looked at her with distrust and couldn't help but put her hand to her forehead.

"Are you really one of the Tabushi's men?"

In my mind, aren't diviners supposed to be mysterious and cunning people? But Qingque wasn't flustered at all and simply waved her hand.

"Please don't panic, everyone. Follow me along this path."

Qingque called this the Carefree Sect, and would often come out to slack off for a few hours when he had nothing to do. He couldn't let Fu Xuan know about this.

"Oh no, this door won't open no matter what I do. I've kept the fortune teller waiting. He must think that 'the unreliable Bluebird' has messed up the job again..."

While Qingque was troubled, Sanyue couldn't help but complain that Fu Xuan must be angry with them for sending the other party.

Fortunately, opening the door wasn't a technical task; after a couple of fiddlings, it opened smoothly. However, instead of a welcoming shrine, it was filled with some corrupt and demonic creatures.

The Temple is teeming with monsters, Your Excellency, do you have any clues?

However, Fu Xuan obviously couldn't care less about these things right now. Under Qing Que's guidance, they finally arrived at the core of the Taibu Si – the "Qiong Guan Formation".

When they arrived, Fu Xuan was talking to Jing Yuan. It seemed that there was a lot of trouble, and even the "Qiong Guan Formation" had stopped operating.

Fu Xuan was quite pleased to see the arrival of the group, as this was precisely the time when he needed people he could readily command to help.

There are two things to do right now: one is to restart the array base, and the other is to eliminate the demons within the Taipusi. Obviously, the group's task is the latter.

"Qiong, I did a divination for myself and found that all three of us are destined to be busy."

"Well, since you're asking us for a favor, then... say that magical word!"

Qiong smiled slightly as she looked up at Fu Xuan, who stood with his hands on his hips. Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan blushed and became unusually flustered.

"...Wh-what? What magical word?"

"Oh, it's just a simple, universally applicable word: 'Please'."

"Um...yes! Please, please!"

"Understood, I will do my best to fulfill Lord Fu Xuan's orders."

"Mmm!"

Fu Xuan's cheeks were flushed, and he didn't respond to Qiong any further. He simply turned his head and gave serious instructions to someone listening in the background.

"Qingque, I'm entrusting the task of restarting the array base to you. Also, forget everything you just saw and heard."

"What kind of ingratitude is this... Not only do they not reward me, but they also give me extra work..."

Qingque muttered something under her breath, then came to Qiong's side.

"The Grand Diviner instructed me to take you all with me to reactivate the array base in Qiongguan Town."

"Keep it up, a promotion and a raise are just around the corner."

Qingque wasn't happy about this; on the contrary, she felt quite aggrieved, since she had been trying to minimize her presence in order to slack off more.

"Forget it, compared to that, you're really something else. You actually dared to speak to the Grand Diviner like that, and the Grand Diviner even responded like that!"

"Qing--! Sparrow--!"

"Ah! I didn't say anything, Your Excellency, we're leaving!"

Qingque hurriedly fled from Fu Xuan's sight, and it took them a lot of effort to restart the array base.

When they returned to Fu Xuan, he was already prepared, and the interrogation began immediately. Kafka also reappeared at this time.

However, this time it was after she removed her makeup. Compared to her previous charming and alluring appearance, Kafka now has a more innocent and lovely look.

As for the upcoming interrogation by "Qiong Guanzhen," Kafka remained calm, her face still bearing a smile, appearing completely unfazed.

As the interrogation began, an expression of disbelief gradually appeared on Fu Xuan's face. He was breathing heavily, and his tone was somewhat off.

"You... just for this? For something like this?"

"So, do you like this truth?"

"Unbelievable... but the 'Exhaustive Observation Formation' can't be wrong."

Fu Xuan finished speaking, but the train crew still didn't understand anything. Qiong couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"So, what exactly is going on?"

However, Fu Xuan did not reveal anything. He simply handed Kafka to the others and left on his own. The task of asking questions naturally fell to Qiong.

He was more than willing to take on this task, after all, there were indeed many things that hadn't been explained to the other party yet. At this moment, March 7th tugged at his sleeve and whispered a reminder.

"I don't want to talk to that woman, Qiong. You go by yourself~ But be careful, don't get fooled by that mature older sister again."

"Don't worry, I have my own rhythm."

"really?"

March looked incredulous, and at that moment, Sora stepped forward and came to Kafka's side, admiring her up close and finding her even more gentle and beautiful.

"Hi, Sora. We meet again."

Are you alright? Are you hurt?

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The Immortal Ship has always treated prisoners very politely. We haven't had a proper conversation before, so now that we have time, ask whatever you want."
