Chapter 160: Hu Xinyue’s InvitationTranslator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“War Spirit!” Great-Grandma looked up at the blue night sky, her fair porcelain skin shining. Her expression was indecipherable.

Li Xianyu got it. The War Spirit could not be replicated so easily. Great-Grandma’s birth was due to the background of the era then, and belonged to an example that could not be replicated. He speculated that it might still be related to the Great-Grandma herself. Otherwise, why did the burden of the country’s prosperity of the country fall on an 18-year-old girl?

“It’s more advanced than a walking corpse. It’s dead, but other than not being able to use superpowers, it retains a lot of combat power,” Great-Grandma said. “And it’s easy to control it. One just needs to replace the copper nails on a regular basis.”

“So you are saying this thing can be mass produced?” Li Xianyu was sharp enough to realize the key points. “The Wu family has ambitious plans.”

This thing possessed a control of high-end combat power and could be controlled by someone. If it were to develop silently, they might form an army of puppets. One S-class puppet was already so powerful, let alone one or two hundred. Although S-class was not an amateur, there were many puppets with low to middle combat power.

Moreover, many of these copper nails can only be semi-finished products and were not yet mature. Who knows how vastly they can be improved in the future?

Therefore, the Wu family messed up the Demons Alliance, as they probably wanted to dominate the northeast. This would make it easier to develop their puppet forces.

Well, that makes sense.

“I don’t care what the Wu family’s goal is. All I know is that he killed our owner and wanted to provoke a power struggle within the Demons Alliance. Our Liu family will not let this feud go,” Liu Shan declared gravely.

“It’s the Demons Alliance that wants to settle the score with them.” The Hu couple’s expressions were dark. They had learned from Hu Xinyue that Hu Zong had become allies with the Wu family. They thought the Wu family were their friends, but now they knew that the killer who killed their owner was the Wu family’s puppet.

The owner was betrayed by the Wu family and they used him to kill Liu Tong. They then burned bridges after using him, and killed him. They toyed with the Demons Alliance as if they were monkeys. Human beings are animals with the filthiest hearts.

“Well, let’s return now and call a meeting with the representatives of the families, to fight against the Wu family.” Liu Mei’s melodious voice was full of murderous intent. “Regarding the disputes in the demon descendants community, Baoze will not interfere in it. I hope you will guard your bottom line.”

After all, Baoze was a force that serves the welfare of humans. In the overall situation, in fact, it was still biased towards human beings.

“There is no guarantee of that, but I think even if Baoze interferes, we will favor your side,” Lady Killer said.

Although it was unknown how the Wu family obtained part of the spell to create the war spirit, but this artifact was forbidden. It was equivalent to building a nuclear bomb under Baoze’s nose. Baoze said they didn’t interfere in disputes in the demon descendants community, but that was also the bottom line.

The demon descendants community was like a microcosm of the whole world. Baoze was the boss, holding a nuclear warhead in his hand and acting as a global policeman. Demon descendants families and the Buddhist society were countries of different powers. Originally, everyone did not have a nuclear warhead, and they could make a scene. However, they wanted to. The boss wouldn’t care about that. But now, they wanted to secretly build a nuclear bomb.

You don’t want to stay on, little brother?

The bear spirit’s corpse was brought back by Baoze. The Liu and Hu family were in a hurry to leave and will probably hold a meeting overnight. The internal struggle between the Demons Alliance is fierce, but they put on a strong front to outsiders, and show great cohesion.

Holding each other to keep warm was the biggest tip for foreign species to survive in the world. After all, no one wanted to be eaten until they became endangered species that needed protection, like the Bai family.

Lady Killer spoke to Lightning King almost overnight and reported this matter. “Lightning King, the Wu family is going to cause trouble,” Lady Killer said. “Do you want to meet them to have a talk?:

“A talk?” Lightning King harrumphed. “Four-zero-four will teach them how to behave. I will send a mission to Fengtian Division. What the Wu family has done has seriously affected social harmony, and all prohibited items have to be confiscated. The perpetrator has to be imprisoned. Wu Xin will lead the operation with your assistance. If the Wu family does not cooperate, force can be used.”

Lady Killer said, “What a huge ambition to replicate the War Spirit, but Lightning King, can the War Spirit really be replicated?”

Lightning King didn’t even hesitate and denied directly. “Impossible. The formation that created the War Spirit has been destroyed then, and the rest are incomplete.” Moreover, the Black Water Spirit Pearl is the treasure of the Qing Dynasty’s royal family, also known as the Dragon Pearl. It is the only one in the world. The financial and human resources needed to cultivate the Unparalleled War Spirit were not small.”

“At that time, many demon descendants forces participated in the plan, and the Qing government strongly supported it. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the demon descendants community and the regime were divided. Now, no demon descendants force, including Baoze, can afford that kind of cost.”

At the same time, at the revolving restaurant on the top floor.

After using his superpower, Li Xianyu, who was starving, came to the restaurant immediately to stuff himself. He would also help Great-Grandma takeaway her supper.

This was the case with his superpower. The rapid proliferation of cells consumes a lot of physical energy, so after fighting, his entire being will be swallowed up by hunger. Fortunately, he was witty and stayed on in Baoze with Great-Grandma. Otherwise the monthly food expenses will be a huge sum of money.

The restaurant was quiet, and fewer than ten people were eating, making it empty and silent.

Li Xianyu saw Minister Wu waving to him by the window and walked over.

“The best caviar that was extracted from the wild sturgeon in the Caspian Sea. Every branch gets a limited amount every year. Only the minister can enjoy it, you are lucky today.”

Minister Wu poured him a glass of champagne and raised his glass. “Champagne, vodka, and our northeast sorghum. Each wine that goes with it brings different pleasures.”

Li Xianyu ate a mouthful of the black fish eggs. It was delicious, but he could not describe the way it was delicious. More than a month ago, he was a broke man who needed to consider before buying cherries. He had spent all the money his adoptive father gave on booking a room.

Letting him eat such raved-about food, was an utter waste of the delicacy.

“Are you happy?” Li Xianyu glanced at him.

Wu Sanjin smiled and said, “Do you know about the history of the Han Dynasty?”

“I don’t. My history and geography are the worst.” Li Xianyu ate caviar one bite after another. This thing is really delicious.

“Before Emperor Han Wu Di, the Han Dynasty was a dynasty plagued by vassal forces. Although it seemed like they were unified, but the truth was there were countries amidst the country. In fact, every vassal lord was emperor and monopolized power in the country. They also have strong armed forces.

“The position was inherited by Emperor Han Wu Di, and he was well aware of the threat of the vassal lords because of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms when his father was in power. After personally witnessing the rebellion of Liu An, king of Huainan, he was even more afraid of the vassal lords. What should he do if he wanted to centralize power?”

Li Xianyu thought and answered, “Weaken the vassal forces.”

Wu Sanjin echoed, “Yes, weaken the vassal forces.”

The subject was a bit dry, and Li Xianyu felt compelled to talk about the topic. This might be because both men, regardless of their status or age, had a big generation gap. After a few casual remarks, he focused on eating caviar and occasionally had a glass with the Useless Minister.

“Minister Wu, umm…” Li Xianyu asked tentatively, “Are you done eating?”

“Yes, I’m pretty much done.” Wu Sanjin nodded as he didn’t know why he asked that question.

“Oh, I’ll take away the rest of the caviar for Great-Grandma then.”

Wu Sanjin was speechless.

…

Li Xianyu was about to sleep after taking a bath, when he received a text message on his mobile phone. The text message was sent by an unfamiliar number, claiming to be Hu Xinyue.

“Little Devil, I just ended my meeting. The Demons Alliance decided to go to war with the Wu family, and more than 90 percent of the members agreed.”

“That’s none of my business, and how did you know my number?” Li Xianyu could not understand. Baoze has long expected the war between the Demons Alliance and the Wu family.

For Baoze, this was good news. They could take advantage of the pressure given to the Wu family by the Demons Alliance, to increase their bargaining chips. The Wu family was at least one of the seven surnames, with power all over the country and its stronghold in Northeast China. Many talents had been transferred to all parts of the country to operate the industries, and nearly half of their combat power was still in the Northeast.

To impose a martial sanction against the Wu family, at least one S-class had to fight a blitz war. Now that Great-Grandma was in the northeast, Lightning King could rest assured and say words like they “could use force.” Otherwise, it will be changed to “I will send XX to the Northeast to assist you.”

“I sent someone to observe the Wu family. Something’s wrong.”

“What do you mean?” Li Xianyu asked.

“The Wu family is so unguarded and seemed unprepared,” Hu Xinyue said.

“We probably did a good job by keeping it confidential.”

“Stupid, the bear spirit was killed by you. Shouldn’t the Wu family react at this time?”

“So why exactly are you telling me about this?” Li Xianyu asked.

“To be honest, Hu Zong sent me a text message before he died,” Hu Xinyue said.

Then, Li Xianyu received a MMS screenshot, which was a screenshot of Hu Zong’s text message to Hu Xinyue: “Female corpse! Don’t trust anyone!”

“Female corpse?” Li Xianyu asked.

“Mmhmm. At first I didn’t understand, but sent some people to keep an eye. I collected all the information about an unnamed female corpse in Northeast China. About ten days ago, a female corpse was dug up at a construction site in XX County. The construction site did not call the police, and the female corpse disappeared. The point is, the man I sent to investigate was killed,” Hu Xinyue said.

Li Xianyu frowned. If so, it must be that someone didn’t want her to keep investigating.

“I would like to invite you to check it out with me,” Hu Xinyue said.

“Why should I go with you?”

“I’m scared.”

“Why did you come to me? Isn’t it better to find someone from the Demons Alliance?”

“Annoying. I have orgasmed so many times because of you. Am I not yours?”

The iron-like fact made Li Xianyu unable to refute and he changed the subject. “Am I the only one?”

“Take Elder War Spirit, of course.”

Li Xianyu was speechless. So, it’s not me you want, you want my Great-Grandma! Li Xianyu felt that his pride was slightly hurt. He typed the message, “Now?” Where can I meet you?”

Hu Xinyue: “I’m in the hotel opposite your company. Come quickly.”

Looking at this text message, Hu Xinyue’s seductive foxy face came to mind. He felt that no man would refuse this kind of beauty’s invitation to book a room.

He stood up and got dressed, and knocked on the door of Great-Grandma. She had just finished eating the food he had packed, patting her bulging belly and opened the door. When she heard that there was work to do, a reluctant expression surfaced.

“I just finished fighting a battle. I’m exhausted and I want to sleep. Our skin gets bad when we stay up late.” Great-Grandma was prepared to push him out.

“Come on, be good. It’s serious business.” Li Xianyu held Great-Grandma’s slender hand and dragged her out.

When they arrived at the hotel across the street, they found the room number and knocked on the door as agreed.

With a click, the lock popped open.

The charming Hu family beauty stood at the door, wearing tight blue jeans and a white shirt that was knotted around her stomach. It revealed her toned abs and belly button, and she was dressed in sports attire.

“You really came.” She had a gentle voice, like a whisper between lovers.

“Mmhmm.” Li Xianyu nodded.

Chaos was imminent and out of a sense of safety, he shouldn’t have come. However, Li Xianyu personally experienced the recent changes in the Demons Alliance and he was sharper than Thunderbolt Battle Lady and the others. He always felt that something was wrong but could not pinpoint it.

So after Hu Xinyue provided clues, he came over without hesitation.

“Why did you choose me?” Li Xianyu stepped into the room. It was a suite and there was a living room and bedroom, with ornate decorations.

How luxurious. It’s only a temporary place to stay and you have to book such an upscale room.

“I can’t trust anyone, including the Demons Alliance,” Hu Xinyue replied honestly.

“So you can trust me?” Li Xianyu gave her a side-eyed glance.

“You are an outsider so there is no conflict of interest. With your identity and strength, you make me feel more secure.” Hu Xinyue put on a delicate appearance and looked like a demure lady who needed to rely on someone.
