Just as the Snake King was about to lose his temper, He Tiantian quickly changed the subject.

"Then tell me, what clues did you find today?" He Tiantian asked. The Snake King had returned dejectedly earlier, which proved that no useful clues had been found.

However, after returning today, the Snake King's eyes were cunning, and his former arrogance reappeared.

"Ahem!" Snake King coughed. "Today we found a very important clue. The stronghold that Huo Yingjun discovered was a branch. We read some people's memories inside, followed the clues to the headquarters, and also learned about their next plan."

He Tiantian was overjoyed. If that were the case, wiping out all those people in one fell swoop might solve the problem.

"Where? What's the plan?" He Tiantian asked excitedly. "The sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can go out, go shopping, and have some fun. It will make our trip here worthwhile."

The Snake King wholeheartedly agreed with He Tiantian's words. Although he was not interested in things on land, he was more interested in things in the seabed, which would be helpful for his cultivation.

Now that it has helped He Tiantian resolve this matter, it can focus on its cultivation instead of wasting its magical power searching for information like it is now.

“At 58 Queen Street, that’s one headquarters. The other branch isn’t in the predominantly Black area, but at 101 Xinfang Street in the Chinatown. Their next plan is kidnapping,” Snake King said. “As for who to kidnap, they haven’t decided yet.”

He Tiantian recalled watching TV dramas before, where assassins would place explosives under cars.

“Snake King, do you think there might be another possibility?” He Tiantian continued, “We’re all staying home and not going out, but Anna and Qi Shuliang go out every day. Could they be tampering with the car?”

Snake King glanced at He Tiantian and said arrogantly, "Are those three mechanics at home idiots? They inspect the car carefully every day, inside and out, top and bottom. Those people can't find an opportunity. Besides, even if they tried to bribe someone, they could only bribe one at most, not all three at the same time. So the possibility you're talking about is very small."

Yes, it's better to be prepared. Now that we've taken precautions, those people won't use those tricks anymore.

"Kidnapping?" He Tiantian scratched her head. "That won't work either! Anna and Qi Shuliang have many people protecting them. We've been staying in the manor the whole time, so those people still can't do anything!"

“You forgot, in just half a month, Qi Zhengmin will have his final exams, and Qi Zhenghan will graduate from high school and go to university!” Snake King said. “In that case, they will definitely go out, and that will be an opportunity to take advantage of them.”

He Tiantian suddenly realized that she had forgotten about Qi Zhengmin and Qi Zhenghan's schooling because she wasn't going to school.

“Now that we know in advance, we can tell them not to stray from the bodyguards' perimeter and increase security to avoid this kind of thing,” He Tiantian said. “As for having a headquarters and a branch, how can I reveal that?”

"As we agreed before, I'm only responsible for investigating. How you explain it is your business," the Snake King said shamelessly, then closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

"Snake King, don't go! Come, come, let's talk about something!" He Tiantian thought and thought, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get the message across.

If she lies, she needs thousands upon thousands of lies to cover up the truth.

"What is it?" The Snake King closed his eyes to rest, not showing any enthusiasm.

Having made up her mind, He Tiantian said, "Snake King, you can read other people's memories, so can you send the information you obtain into other people's memories?"

“Sure!” the Snake King agreed. “However, it consumes a lot of magic power, so I usually don’t like to use it.”

"As long as there's a way," He Tiantian said with a sly smile, "Snake King, look, I've been living in fear lately and have lost some weight. You won't be able to get as much holy blood next month as you did last month."

The Snake King opened his eyes and looked He Tiantian up and down, noticing that she looked more haggard than before.

"What should we do then?" This was the Snake King's biggest concern. Although the spiritual energy from the outside world was useful, without the supply of holy blood, no matter how much spiritual energy there was, it couldn't be converted into spiritual energy that it could use for cultivation.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "The best way is to resolve this matter as soon as possible. You should transmit the information you obtained to Qi Shuliang's mind. That way, the matter can be resolved quickly. Next month, when I've recovered, I can provide you with two doses of Holy Blood."

Hearing this twice, the Snake King's forked tongue darted out a few times, as if it were very hungry.

"Can your body handle it?" the Snake King asked. "I don't want to be a fool who kills the goose that lays the golden eggs!"

Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?

That's a rather graphic analogy!

However, He Tiantian didn't mind and nodded, saying, "My body can handle it. I'll just eat more good food to replenish my energy. Qi Shuliang's family is so rich. If we don't eat more, we'll only be able to eat coarse food when we go back to our hometown."

The Snake King's small eyes darted around as he weighed the pros and cons, then made a decision, saying, "Alright, I'll go teleport now. Hopefully, that person hasn't woken up yet."

The Snake King left, but Qi Zhengmin, who was beside him, was not asleep. He inadvertently saw the golden light left behind by the Snake King again.

"Sister Tian, ​​I saw it again, I saw it again." Qi Zhengmin pressed the switch next to him, and the room became very bright.

The Snake King has made another mistake!

He Tiantian mumbled groggily, "I know, you saw it, you saw the golden light again..."

"Yes, yes, Sister Tian, ​​I firmly believe that it's not an illusion," Qi Zhengmin said excitedly. "If it's not an angel or elf from a fairy tale, could it be a deity? The Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities, what kind of deity is that?"

He Tiantian picked up the blanket next to her and covered Qi Zhengmin's head, saying, "Sun Wukong and the Jade Emperor, my foot! Go to sleep."

He Tiantian's perfunctory response did not change Qi Zhengmin's current state of excitement. Qi Zhengmin's eyes were wide open, still wanting to see the golden light; she wanted to see clearly what that light was.

However, fatigue soon set in, and Qi Zhengmin felt his eyes stinging. He forced them open, but couldn't resist the drowsiness and slowly drifted off to sleep.

This was obviously the work of the Snake King. It had already made two mistakes, and it would be too stupid to make a third.

"Is it all done?" He Tiantian asked, hoping that the Snake King would have a smoother experience this time.

"Alright, it's like Qi Shuliang had a dream," said the Snake King. "But in the dream, I used Huo Yingjun to say these things, so it was all perfectly natural. Okay, I'm a little tired, I need to rest. You should eat more and rest more."

"Mmm-hmm!" He Tiantian replied, "Eat more and rest more." (To be continued.)
