His gloved right hand twitched slightly, and the pain of his broken and healed arm told him that if he continued to treat Nie Kongsang as a young girl crying in sorrow, he might just be doomed.

They were both men, and Yin Wu's gaze as he scrutinized Kong Sang held a certain intensity, revealing everything in a single glance.

Lin Changli's eyes were filled with coldness. With a slight movement of his fingers, two water needles shot straight into those eyes filled with malice.

Caught off guard, Yin Wu reacted quickly but was still scratched on the eyelid, blood dripping into his eye socket, making his eyes even fiercer.

Yin Wu's men immediately raised their guns, and a major battle seemed imminent, but Yin Wu waved his hand to stop them. He had a mission to complete, and these men were not weak, so there was no point in continuing the fight.

Yin Wu casually picked up a bottle of mineral water to rinse his eyes and said casually, "No wonder you guys are so curious about your abilities. Water control... what an amazing mutated ability. You even tried to take my eyes. Mr. Lin is ruthless."

“Keep watching. I want more than just eyes,” Lin Changli said sharply.

Yin Wu wasn't angry. He threw down the mineral water bottle and said, "Sorry, I've watched this since I was a child. I couldn't control myself for a moment. Miss, let's talk about something serious."

"I'll give you the information you need, on the condition that neither of us intervenes in the rainforest. I have a mission to complete, and things are very complicated with Madam. I don't want to delay any longer."

Is this about Lan Yun? Kong Sang's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Aren't you going to look for the crystal?"

“We’re looking for more than one Rainforest Crystal. It’s not against us if the young lady wants it. I haven’t received any orders to capture the young lady. We can put our matter aside for now.”

"If you don't tell me what my dad asked you to do, we have no need to cooperate."

Yin Wu sighed, took out a slightly damp cigarette, and tried to light it several times before he could.

"It's a long story. The lady's body had reached its limit, and she wanted to take over the body of the eldest daughter's birth mother so that she could continue to live and love the master. The master said that this idea was disgusting and asked me to kill the eldest daughter's birth mother."

Kong Sang's eyes widened; this sentence contained a lot of information.

Lan Ye's expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward, saying, "The woman in that ice coffin is Jian Yao. Is she still alive?"

Yin Wu asked in surprise, "You didn't know Jian Yao was alive? That doesn't make sense. Back then, it was Old Master Lan who personally handed Jian Yao over to Madam to make amends."

Lan Ye's expression changed; he could hardly believe what he had just heard.

His father first favored the child of his beloved, driving Lan Yun insane. In the end, out of guilt, he gave the penniless woman to Lan Yun to vent his anger. Was his father insane?

No wonder, no wonder his father looked at Nie Kongsang with such a guilty and ashamed expression...

Kong Sang was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his senses under Lin Changli's tight grip and said without any emotion, "Deal, tell me about the crystal."

Yin Wu said with amusement, "Miss's reaction is really unexpected. A foster mother and a biological mother, don't you want to get involved in this?"

Kong Sang remained expressionless: "It has nothing to do with me. I came to the rainforest only for the crystals."

"Tsk, his cold and indifferent demeanor is just like the Master. It's a pity... he couldn't inherit the Master's bloodline."

Yin Wu didn't waste any words and explained, "The crystals in the rainforest, like the Phoenix Stones, are all meteorites that fell here. A large number of meteorites have fallen in this area."

"Over the long years, the vegetation has been corrupted by strange energy and become mutated species. The Flower Eater is an evolution of the red-leaf man-eating grass, and there is more than one crystal in its stamen."

"The Devouring Flower is still a bud. It will bloom once it has absorbed enough energy. A lot of people have died in the rainforest recently, so the blooming time is almost here. Getting close to it won't be easy. We are still in the exploratory stage."

“I know how to get close.” Julie Pello’s words drew everyone’s attention.

Yin Wu, with a cigarette butt in his mouth, said, "Conditions."

Julie Pelosi glanced at Yin Wu's side: "Two lives."

The two team leaders' expressions changed, and they immediately said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, this woman..."

Yin Wu chuckled, his eyes instantly turning a deep purple, like a monstrous demon crawling out of hell, a ruthless and vicious official.

With neither hand exerting any force, he ripped off two heads, splattering blood all over his face. He licked the blood off with his tongue, and as he looked at the flesh and blood in the neck cavity, he made a very obvious swallowing motion.

Noticing Kong Sang's disgusted look, he suppressed his anger and, while sucking the blood from his hands, said, "I'm looking forward to it, but if you lie, I will eat your flesh and blood."

It was a very calm statement, but no one thought Yin Wu was joking. When this person's eyes turned deep purple, he was clearly not human.

Julie wasn't scared at all. She simply said that they would wait until evening, and then they each found a place to rest.

When they settled in, Lan Ye was still sitting near Julie.

Julie glanced sideways: "You still dare to come closer? Aren't you afraid I'll betray you?"

Lan Ye leaned back on a stone stool, his angular face showing indifference as he said, "I don't think you're a good person. In fact, good people don't live long in the mercenary business."

"As for betraying me... what are you after? We shouldn't have any entanglements."

Julie paused for a moment, staring at Blue Night before being interrupted by Kro speaking in Japanese. The two then whispered something to each other.

Meanwhile, in Kongsang, a discussion was taking place. Yu Wei asked, puzzled, "What does it mean that Lan Yun wants to change bodies?"

"Literally, Lan Yun is the developer of immortality. Her original intention in developing this gene drug was to retain her youth and please Nie Qu. There are already medical projects that study rapid cell regeneration."

"But because the idea was too advanced and remained only in theory, later, with my factor, Lan Yun devoted herself to research, and that's how immortality was born."

"As you can see, the effects are amazing, but it's not true immortality. While restoring the body, it also consumes the lifespan of one's own cells."

“Lan Yun has eaten too much. Her body looks normal on the surface, but inside she is probably extremely old and is likely to die,” Kong Sang said indifferently.

Si Yu suddenly realized: "No wonder Lan Yun and Nie Xi look so different from their ages, it's not just about maintenance... So body swapping is also possible?"

"I don't know. I heard before that she started working on some brainwave transfer research again. So she had already started preparing back then. Nobody knows if she will succeed."

"But she definitely didn't want to die, so she took a gamble. This personality of Lan Yun is even more insane, but she's also a good match for Nie Qu, at least that's what I think."

People who aren't from the same family won't enter the same door; they're all incredibly enthusiastic.

Wei Shengyi raised an eyebrow: "You really won't save your birth mother?"

Kong Sang shook her head. She really didn't care. She wasn't a good person to begin with, let alone her birth mother whom she had no memory of.

Even for people like them, going up against Lan Yun would likely result in the deaths of several. Compared to her birth mother, whom she didn't care about, the risk to those around her wasn't worth it.

Lin Changli stroked Kong Sang's back: "There's no need to go out of your way to save her, but if you really encounter her... just take a look, don't let yourself regret it."

"Smack!"

Kong Sang fiercely slapped away Lin Changli's hand: "Stay away from me, we've broken up, you know? Don't try to get my attention all the time, do you want me to regret it or take revenge or what?"

Lin Changli chuckled: "You can regret it anytime. I won't take revenge on you, except in bed."
