Chapter 401 Leng Yulai's Clever Ideas; A Weak Woman with Nothing to Her Name Besides Being Cute
Chapter 401 Leng Yulai's Clever Ideas; A Weak Woman with Nothing to Her Name Besides Being Cute
Just as Nanali was about to push her luck, Leng Yulai, who had just entered the room, witnessed the scene unfold.
She was taken aback at first, then said somewhat awkwardly, "It seems I've come at the wrong time and may have interrupted your enjoyment. Why don't I go outside for some fresh air while you finish what you were doing?"
Although she was already used to it back in Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
It wasn't just the quirky Nanali who was constantly clinging to Huo Yuhao, begging for hugs and acting cute.
Even Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who are usually reserved on the surface, often get close to each other without regard for their image.
Especially now that she knows Huo Yuhao's true identity.
Even though I learned from the God of Love that the other party, because he possessed the pure bloodline of the Golden Dragon King and was subtly influenced by his dragon instincts, was quite different from the image recorded in historical books in these aspects.
Yet every time she saw her ancestor being so intimate with another woman, she still felt a strange sense of unreality.
Thinking back to her own Cupid, she realized that over the past few months, he had gone to great lengths, trying every trick in the book to get into Huo Yuhao's bed and regain his place in Huo Yuhao's heart.
But after learning about Ning Rongrong's past deeds and the grudges between her and Huo Yuhao, Leng Yulai couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing mediating between them, her Cupid would probably have been stabbed to death by Huo Yuhao long ago, and wouldn't be here to be an eyesore today.
The thought of Ning Rongrong repeatedly trying her best to climb into Huo Yuhao's bed but failing and unable to gain Huo Yuhao's "forgiveness," and then having to give him all sorts of explanations alone...
If we were to follow the God of Love's rhetoric, it would be tantamount to washing ourselves clean and delivering ourselves directly to Huo Yuhao's bed for him to take.
Although in Leng Yulai's heart, being able to personally serve such a handsome young man was not a loss for her at all, and could even be considered as climbing the social ladder.
Not to mention the special relationship between the other party and Ya-li's lover.
If I could take advantage of this opportunity to bully them thoroughly, just thinking about the thrill would be incredibly exciting, and it would be a huge win.
The problem is, although she holds the title of Holy Maiden of the Valley of Love and Destiny and has witnessed many love entanglements, it does not mean that she has rich experience and skills in this area.
Even though Huo Yuhao could accept such intimate contact with Nanali, a short girl with no breasts or buttocks and nothing good to do except act cute all day, he was completely unguarded.
However, in their daily interactions, Leng Yulai could clearly sense that the other party was always maintaining a very subtle, even airtight, safe distance from her.
He left her absolutely no chance to take advantage of the situation and get closer to him.
She couldn't possibly abandon her composure, take advantage of a dark and stormy night, knock Huo Yuhao unconscious with a stick, and then force herself on him and force herself on him, could she?
If Leng Yaozhu, who now completely reveres Huo Yuhao as a god, found out that he had used such underhanded methods, wouldn't it be a huge embarrassment to his older sister, something she would find hard to accept?
Otherwise, I could secretly help her win over Huo Yuhao.
Once the raw rice is cooked, you can naturally add it in, creating a buy-one-get-one-free premium meal.
After all, her older sister has lived to such an old age and has remained single since birth in order to revitalize the family. She has never even had a romantic relationship with anyone. It's time for her to find a suitable partner.
As her caring younger sister, she could help her win over the legendary figure she respected and admired most.
And wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to also do something incredibly exciting like deceiving one's master and ancestors?
The more Leng Yulai thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was very promising and highly feasible. Her already charming dark purple phoenix eyes now shone with excitement.
On the other hand, Nanali is also very sensible and knows when to stop.
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, savoring the lingering sweet cream flavor in his mouth, and replied somewhat helplessly:
"It's alright. Since you're already here, let's not linger here and head straight to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters."
"We still have a long way to go on the journey, so you can tell me in detail about everything that has happened inside the Spirit Pagoda recently."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took Nanali's small hand very naturally and got up to walk out of the private room.
Leng Yulai was slightly bewildered as she watched the two people walk briskly to the front desk, pay the bill, and leave without looking back.
Before she arrived, she had been thinking that Huo Yuhao had chosen such a charming coffee shop as the meeting place so that they could have an in-depth discussion about important matters that could overturn the Federation's structure in a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that the time spent in this private room was just to order a few small cakes for Nanali, who is a foodie, to satisfy her cravings?
Fortunately, as the Holy Maiden of Qiankun Wenqing Valley, Leng Yulai had a strong mental fortitude and quickly regained her composure.
He quickly stepped forward, keeping pace with the two, and skillfully entered the range of the mental interference field emanating from Huo Yuhao. Then, his expression turned serious, and he lowered his voice to report to his superior:
"Ancestor, you must already know the general outline of the message my sister sent you before. That Qian Gu Dong Feng abused his authority without authorization, resulting in the mysterious loss of a God-Slaying Fixed Soul-Guided Artillery Shell, which serves as a strategic deterrent force for the Federation."
Now that the truth has come out and the news has been completely leaked internally, he himself is under the close surveillance of the Federation's War God Temple's elite squad around the clock.
Of course, in the previous emergency high-level meetings specifically addressing this matter, the Qian Gu family had been arguing their case and desperately trying to shirk responsibility.
They claimed that the heinous act of stealing the god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell was committed by a few of Qian Gu Dong Feng's trusted subordinates for personal gain.
He has no direct relationship with Qian Gu Dongfeng himself; he is also an innocent victim who is completely unaware of the situation.
However, this matter involves too many aspects, after all, what was lost was a god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannonball that the Federation had spent countless manpower and resources to create over thousands of years.
If this charge is proven true, it would be enough to send Qian Gu Dong Feng and all those involved in the related interest groups to a military court and sentence them to death.
After a pause, Leng Yulai observed Huo Yuhao's expression and then added:
"The upcoming high-level meeting between the Spirit Pagoda and the Federation will be the final negotiation between the various forces regarding this matter. The main demand of the Federation government is still to retrieve the lost God-Slaying Fixed-Mount Soul-Guided Cannonball."
If such a large-scale weapon capable of easily destroying a city were to fall into the hands of the ever-ambitious Holy Spirit Cult, the devastating consequences of its detonation, no matter where in the Federation they were to detonate it, would be unbearable for the Federation.
Judging from the results of the previous meetings' wrangling and probing, that god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is probably no longer in the hands of the Spirit Pagoda; it has most likely already been traded away.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, then turned to look at Nanali beside him and asked:
"Nanali, has the Holy Spirit Cult had any unusual plans or movements lately? Or have the higher-ups issued any secret orders?"
"In the past, there were people in the Holy Spirit Church who were in charge of intelligence networks who secretly contacted me."
It was said that the higher-ups had given me orders to find a way to plant a group of absolutely loyal spies within Shrek Academy, seemingly to act as informants for some major operation.
But now, due to Shrek Academy's defeat in the competition and the turmoil of merging schools, it is already heavily guarded by people from the Federation's War God Temple, so much so that not even a fly can get in.
The matter of placing people there was never heard from again and was eventually dropped.
"Master, does this mean the Holy Spirit Cult plans to launch a god-killing, fixed-position soul-guided cannonball directly at Shrek Academy?"
As Nanali spoke, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
Although she held a high position and great power as one of the four Dark Kings within the Holy Spirit Cult.
However, because she was placed in Shrek Academy to carry out a long-term undercover mission in her early years, she was not as clear about the specific movements of many core secrets of the Holy Spirit Cult as the ever-active Dark Blood Eye.
Unfortunately, Dark Blood Eyes had already been sent back to the Star Luo Continent by the Underworld Emperor to continue his mission of secretly controlling the Green Skull resistance organization, which made it difficult for Huo Yuhao to grasp the true intentions of the Holy Spirit Cult's higher-ups.
Huo Yuhao rubbed his temples, sighed, and replied, "Judging from the current signs, there is such a possibility."
When he first crossed the world line, the River of Fate gave him some vague guidance, and he thus knew in advance some of the major historical and destiny events that should have occurred in this world.
As he had glimpsed in the original timeline of fate, the Holy Spirit Cult had once insanely used two god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannons to completely destroy Shrek Academy.
Even now, due to his intervention, the fates of the various forces have taken completely different paths.
Yet the Holy Spirit Cult still managed to obtain a god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannonball through the power of the eternal East Wind. Could this also be considered a kind of irreversible historical correction force?
But what exactly does Tang Hao, who stands behind the Holy Spirit Cult and effectively controls everything, want to do with this god-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannonball?
Will it follow the original historical trajectory and be sent to Shrek Academy to destroy the current Golden Tree, so that Ah Yin can possess the Golden Tree and become the new life core?
Although the name "God-Slaying Fixed-Mount Soul-Guided Cannon" sounds intimidating, it doesn't actually destroy the Eternal Heaven, and its power still has its limits.
Furthermore, given that Chen Xinjie has already broken through to the God-level in public, intercepting a God-killing fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell on his own is not a difficult task.
With all parties involved in this situation, Huo Yuhao has no control over the Holy Spirit Cult's next move and can only wait and see what happens.
Upon entering the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, Leng Yulai readily presented the badges symbolizing her high-ranking status. The three of them quickly boarded a golden elevator and ascended rapidly towards the upper echelons of the Spirit Pagoda.
The exterior side of the elevator is made of highly transparent custom-made crystal glass.
As the altitude continued to rise, the view passed through the magnificent sight of the surging sea of clouds, and the once vast and prosperous Shrek City below now appeared extremely small.
A rough estimate suggests that they have risen nearly 500 meters in this short period of time.
When the elevator doors opened, the interior of the building was completely decorated in off-white tones.
Combined with the clear and deep view of the sky outside the window, this area appears exceptionally ethereal and pure, like a fairyland in the clouds.
Leng Yulai stepped out of the elevator first, calmly leading Huo Yuhao and Nanali towards the conference room. She then spoke directly:
"Now that Qian Gu Dongfeng has been imprisoned, and with the Qian Gu family leaderless, Qian Gu Dongfeng's father, who was the previous Spirit Pagoda Master, had to end his seclusion early and come out to take control of the Spirit Pagoda again."
However, thanks to my sister's combination of kindness and severity in managing the situation, nearly 70% of the factions within the Spirit Pagoda have clearly stated their allegiance to the Tianfeng family.
The rest are nothing more than opportunists and the ancient family itself.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Leng Yaozhu must have extraordinary abilities to become Gu Yue's teacher.
But he really didn't expect that with just a simple promise and delegation of authority, she would be able to gather and integrate the Spirit Pagoda to this extent in just over half a year.
This skill and boldness truly surprised him, and he secretly admired it.
After all, he really doesn't have much talent in the daily management of such a huge force and the operation of complex personnel.
Nanali, who was standing next to Huo Yuhao, was also startled when she heard this, and a strong sense of worry inexplicably rose in her heart.
If such a glamorous and extremely scheming strong woman were to try to steal her master in the future, wouldn't this weak woman, who is only cute and has nothing else to offer, be immediately defeated?
Am I destined to be reduced to the miserable state of having to hide in a corner and help others with their butts?
While the three were lost in their own thoughts, they soon arrived at a large metal gate.
On either side of the gate stood two soldiers in military uniforms, armed with guns.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the soldier on the right immediately saluted Leng Yulai, then spoke with a hint of difficulty:
"Your Highness, I apologize for stopping you. This gentleman and lady are not listed on the internal high-level meeting access list we have received. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Before Leng Yulai could even reach out and take out the special pass that her older sister had prepared in advance, a very gentle voice, as warm as a spring breeze, came from behind them.
"Master Lingbing, I didn't expect you to arrive so early. It was my oversight that I failed to bring the updated admission list to the guards beforehand, causing you to be stopped here."
