Chapter 859 Our Sisters Need to Communicate More
The two then led a group of minions towards the courtyard where the mole girls were held. General Meng seemed to be a shrewd person, so he patiently explained along the way. “Deputy General Guo, please don’t be offended. You should know that every time there’s a mission, my lord allocates fixed resources to each department. Some useless people can’t even find a few mole girls when their food supplies run out, and they can’t supplement them themselves, so they rack their brains to use teleportation gates. They resort to all sorts of clever tricks like forging tear moles or bribing teleportation gate guards. As a result, the quality of the mole girls they bring back seriously fails to meet the requirements. My lord was furious about this some time ago and punished many teleportation gate guards, so I, as a general, have no choice but to take this seriously.”
General Meng spoke in a gentle and amiable manner, appearing very approachable.
“Mmm, mmm, mmm…”
Deputy General Guo replied mechanically, but his expression became increasingly awkward, as these “clever tricks” were exactly what he was thinking of.
Qi Huang also frowned slightly upon seeing this. If the person surnamed Meng were to be serious, she might not be able to proceed smoothly.
Deputy General Guo and General Meng soon arrived at the courtyard where the mole girls were held. Qi Huang and the others were also gathered as requested by the evil spirit minions for inspection.
General Meng casually scanned them and then asked with doubt, “Are there only this few mole girls?”
“General Meng, you know the situation. Our department found only over fifty mole girls in less than a month from departure to return,” Deputy General Guo explained again.
“Deputy General Guo, setting aside the quality, your quantity is only half of the required amount. How can I let you pass?” General Meng spread his hands.
“General Meng, we are truly at our wit’s end. For General Sha’s sake, please be lenient,” Deputy General Guo pleaded with clasped fists.
“If I am lenient with you, and my lord blames me, who will be lenient with me?” General Meng retorted.
Deputy General Guo was speechless, gritting his teeth and not knowing what to do.
Qi Huang, however, was not flustered. If the person surnamed Meng was determined to obstruct them, she would not hesitate to resolve the matter with force.
“General Meng, do you have any extra food?” Deputy General Guo changed the subject after a moment.
“Why is Deputy General Guo asking this?” General Meng’s face showed confusion.
“If General Meng has any spare blood cells, please lend me some. This way, we can temporarily set up camp on Bone Cold Star and depart once we find enough mole girls. I will definitely repay you double when we return,” Deputy General Guo stated his plan.
“Deputy General Guo is joking. You should know that the resources my lord distributes to each department are fixed. Furthermore, there are no living things on this Bone Cold Star. Where would I get spare blood cells?” General Meng retorted, then added, “Besides, apart from Kaiyuan Star, there isn’t a second inhabited star in this vicinity. Where are you going to find mole girls?”
Although Deputy General Guo was displeased, he knew that what the person surnamed Meng said was true, and he was once again at his wit’s end.
“Deputy General Guo, why don’t we use the teleportation gate again to return to Kaiyuan Star and secretly capture some living people for food, and then make plans?” Wei Zhuo suggested from the side.
“A Heavenly Being’s spiritual sense can cover the entire star. It’s already lucky that we managed to escape. Are you still trying to walk into a trap? Anyway, I don’t have that courage. If you dare, you’ll get the first merit when we get back,” Deputy General Guo retorted.
Wei Zhuo opened his mouth awkwardly and finally admitted defeat.
General Meng looked at the two impatiently. He had no time to waste with these good-for-nothings. His eyes began to rove over the more than fifty mole girls.
Qi Huang was getting impatient and was ready to act immediately. Unexpectedly, Deputy General Guo’s gaze fixed on her. What did that mean? Did he see that she was planning something? Qi Huang found it somewhat perplexing.
Deputy General Guo looked at Qi Huang for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said to General Meng, “General Meng, the number of mole girls is insufficient. It is indeed asking too much for you to let us pass. But what if the girl you are looking for is among them?”
“What?” General Meng’s expression changed, and then he immediately turned his gaze to the dozens of mole girls, saying, “Deputy General Guo, you’re not joking with me, are you?”
Deputy General Guo did not reply. He walked directly up to Qi Huang and said, “Look at her tear mole. Isn’t it exactly as my lord described?”
General Meng stepped forward to examine her, and the astonishment on his face increased visibly: “You know, it’s exactly as my lord described. Could she be the target we’re looking for?”
“Who knows? But if she is indeed the person my lord is looking for, and you block us here, it will ruin her important affairs,” Deputy General Guo reminded him sternly.
“But what if she is not the person my lord wants?” General Meng was still hesitant.
“You haven’t personally seen that blood tear, so what’s strange about mistaking someone? Will my lord blame you?” Deputy General Guo retorted.
Upon hearing this, General Meng’s face began to show struggle.
Deputy General Guo leaned closer and whispered, “Does General Meng still remember that my lord said whoever finds the person she wants will be rewarded with a blood slave of the Heavenly Being level? If you let me pass, and this girl is indeed the person she is looking for, I will definitely send you a bowl of Heavenly Being’s blood every month as a token of my gratitude.”
“A reward of a Human-level Heavenly Being? That demon is quite generous,” Qi Huang couldn’t help but murmur.
General Meng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, but he was still uneasy: “Can Deputy General Guo keep his word?”
“As a mere Golden Corpse, are you afraid I’ll lie to you? Doesn’t General Meng have even this much courage?” Deputy General Guo used a goading tactic.
“Alright, for the sake of General Sha’s past kindness to me and your sincerity, I will make an exception this time,” General Meng gritted his teeth and made his decision, then said loudly, “This girl is very likely the person my lord is looking for. You cannot delay here any longer. Set off immediately.”
“Thank you, General Meng,” Deputy General Guo was overjoyed.
Qi Huang also wisely retracted her killing intent. There were many experts in the Immortal Realm, and it was best not to fight if possible. Otherwise, once powerful beings were attracted, it would be too late to regret it.
“Deputy General Guo, don’t be happy too soon. It will take three more teleports to return to Wuheng Star. Those three guards are not as easy to talk to as I am. Whether you can pass depends on your ability. Don’t waste my good intentions,” General Meng warned in a low voice.
“Thank you for the reminder, General Meng,” Deputy General Guo clasped his fists and thanked him sincerely.
“Also… do you understand the principle of not revealing your wealth? You’d better disguise this girl and don’t use her to clear the way again, otherwise, be careful of inviting disaster upon yourself. The reason I didn’t take advantage of your misfortune was out of respect for General Sha. Believe it or not,” General Meng sternly reminded him again.
“Understood! Thank you for your guidance, General Meng.” Deputy General Guo was stunned for a moment, then broke into a cold sweat.
Having received permission to pass, Deputy General Guo immediately gathered his subordinates to set off.
Qi Huang and the other fifty mole girls were once again placed into a storage ring, led by Zeng Xiao.
Not long after, the group of “people” entered the Bone Cold Star’s teleportation gate and headed to the next stronghold.
Although Qi Huang was confined in the storage ring, she did not feel bored at all because she was surrounded by innocent girls, especially the beautiful Yuan Xin.
“Yu Zhu, if you don’t mind my being presumptuous, how old are you?” Yuan Xin walked over and sat close to Qi Huang.
“Twenty-six,” Qi Huang replied casually, subconsciously drawing closer and carefully sensing the boneless softness of her touch.
“Twenty-six? You’re the same age as me. What a fate! Since that’s the case, I’ll just call you by your name.” Yuan Xin, without suspicion, reached out and grasped Qi Huang’s delicate white hand, saying, “Yu Zhu, don’t find me annoying. We two are the highest cultivators among these girls. If we want to escape, we must cooperate closely and devise a feasible plan.”
“How could I find you annoying? Just tell me how you want to be close? Does this count as being close?” Qi Huang asked greedily, stroking the other party’s small hand.
Yuan Xin did not withdraw her hand. Instead, she pulled Qi Huang’s hand and placed it on her own soft chest, which was like a mountain range where experts dwelled, causing it to sink: “The closeness I’m talking about is not physical, but heart-to-heart, understand? Sister!”
“I understand now,” Qi Huang nodded foolishly.
“Elder Brother, it’s time to use the Move Character Art,” the male soul Huang Tian reminded her in her Sea of Consciousness at that moment.
“Time’s up? So fast? Did you remember the time incorrectly?” Qi Huang rebuked. Because of that damned woman Cheng Ling, she could only be a man for half a day each day, and often had to stop at crucial moments, just like now, which was truly frustrating.
