Chapter 346: Lingyue Church
When Li Muhan heard the three words "Lin Yuefen", the little girl who had stopped him at the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce market just now suddenly popped up in his mind.
At that time, I was just filled with sympathy, thinking that the other party had a difficult time, so I regarded it as a good deed, but Xingli stopped me from buying those expensive gadgets, saying that those things were mixed with something called Lin Yue Powder.
And for the aliens, this kind of thing is no different from D-grade products.
"Looks like you know something, little brother? You look like a fool, but you even know something like this~ Not bad~"
Shuangyue could tell most of what was going on from Li Muhan's face.
Li Muhan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't know before I came to your market, but I know now."
"So... these people from the Rinyue Church really did do business on the territory of the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce." When the woman talked about the Rinyue Church, her voice and expression suddenly turned cold, as if she was talking about something dirty that made her very disgusted.
"Little brother, do you know anything about the Lingyue Church?"
Li Muhan shook his head and said, "I only know about the Blood Moon Church..."
"Although both share an extremely twisted worship of the moon, the Blood Moon Church is at least now a legitimate Irish Special Administrative Agency, a legitimate organization. However, the Stern Moon Church... can be described as a bunch of petty thieves who devour people without leaving any bones."
Xingli had calmed down a bit at this point. She held the sleeping white cat wrapped in her coat in her arms and walked over to Li Muhan. "...Li Muhan, you can go now. This matter has nothing to do with you anymore."
Then she stared at Shuangyue and said word by word: "No matter what you want me to do, as long as you let my brother wake up first, I will..."
But before she could finish, the woman gently waved her hand, interrupting Xingli's unfinished words: "Kitty, you can't handle this matter, but I am still very grateful to you. After all, you helped me find such a powerful...helper."
"He had nothing to do with this!"
Xingli roared at Shuangyue, and the four tails behind him began to emit a creepy alien aura.
"Oh?" The woman ignored Xingli's roar, only looking at her nails, and said nonchalantly: "Then why did you bring him here?"
"I...I just...hope that through his identity as a special agent...I can be with you..."
"Little sister..." Shuangyue stood up, gently placed her hand on Xingli's shoulder, then walked around her body to her back, and finally put her head gently next to Xingli's ear: "Don't pretend to be a good person here. Do you really think that you can let me go just because of some random thug from the Special Management Bureau? I'm afraid you planned to make me clash with him from the beginning, and then let the Special Management Bureau intervene, right?"
"I...I..." Xingli was speechless. She couldn't help but look up at Li Muhan. Especially when she met the clear eyes of this young man, she felt a little ashamed: "I..."
"You run a fairly decent-sized circus, but you're no pushover, Miss Xingli. Don't act so pitiful in front of me. You're familiar with the underworld and should know the price you pay for doing something wrong. Your brother is safe and sound, which is my greatest care for you. If you still want more..."
The woman gently lifted a strand of white hair hidden among Xingli's black hair near her ear, and then took a deep sniff: "...Your demonic aura is truly pure."
"Okay, okay!" Li Muhan slammed the table, but instead of scaring Shuangyue, he scared Mengmeng next to her so much that she fell down on the chair.
"Now that you're here, don't treat me like a child, Captain Xingli. I was wrong before. As for whether you asked me to come here to put me in danger so that the Special Management Bureau can intervene, or whether you really just want me to be a go-between, it doesn't matter."
He walked to Xingli's side, but the girl didn't dare to look directly into Li Muhan's eyes.
"I'll return what you just said to me, Captain Xingli. This matter has nothing to do with you. This is a deal between me and Guild President Shuangyue. Whether you want to go back or stay here is up to you, but please don't disturb our business."
When Li Muhan's words rang in her ears, Xingli couldn't help but raise her eyes in surprise, confusion and doubt flashing in her eyes.
Just as she was about to respond, her eyes caught Li Muhan's subtle hint. He winked at her gently and carefully touched the pure white cat sleeping peacefully in her arms. Its breathing was steady and peaceful, as if it was still in a sweet dream.
"Go back. I promise to wake your brother up. Actually, from the beginning, you only need to ask me for help. There is no need for such twists and turns. After all, I owe you a huge sum of money."
Xingli found it a little hard to believe. She had been walking in the world for over a hundred years, and during these hundred years, she had long been accustomed to the fickleness of the world.
As a cat demon, she has witnessed the slaughter among different species; as the owner of a circus, she has witnessed the complexity and cruelty of human nature.
Whether human or alien, they are all trying to survive in the constant plundering and being plundered, trying to strengthen themselves by devouring others.
Even though the existence of the Special Management Bureau has maintained order to a certain extent, tragedy has never stopped in the dark corners hidden behind the light, silently eroding every fragile heart.
Each member of the Nightingale Circus was a partner she had saved from the abyss of despair. Their smiles, tears and hopes constituted the only warmth in her life.
Because of this deep connection, Xingli built a high wall in her heart. Except for these friends who have gone through difficult times with her, she no longer opens her heart to others easily, because she wants to protect these family members and this circus that is like home to them.
However, this demon, whom she had only known for a short time, actually made such a promise to her... Xingli's heart was full of contradictions.
Should she trust a strange demon? This would undoubtedly challenge the defenses she had built up over a long period of time.
"Little brother, I'll be jealous if you whisper to others like this. Well, since you said it's a business deal with me, come on, come to your sister..."
Just as she was hesitating, Shimotsuki lightly intervened in their conversation.
Her fingers fell on Li Muhan's waist as lightly as feathers, trying to intervene in an intimate manner.
However, Li Muhan quickly and decisively avoided her contact. He gently slapped Shuangyue's hand away with his palm, and his tone was full of determination that could not be ignored: "My girlfriend is particularly sensitive to smells. Your breath is stronger than that of a fox demon... Business is business. I hope you can keep a proper distance and don't try to treat me with the same methods you use against others. Now, please tell me, what is the connection between the Linyue Church and the Linyue fans and what you want me to do?"
