Chapter 345: Transaction with the Chamber of Commerce
The hall, which had been ruined and on the verge of collapse by the battle between Li Muhan and the Nightmare Demon, was easily restored to its original state by the Nightmare Demon. This also reminded Li Muhan all the time that the place he was in was still the Nightmare Demon's dream.
The abyss that he was dragged into just now could be said to be a deeper dream.
The power of this nightmare demon is definitely not limited to this. If Mengmeng had not come to pick him up at that time, he would have been swallowed by the huge black shadow. Does that mean that Li Muhan would be dragged into a deeper dream, making it even more difficult to wake up?
Thinking of this, Li Muhan couldn't help but keep some distance from this nightmare monster. Although it was indeed not as good as himself in frontal combat, its powerful characteristics could indeed make up for the lack of its own combat power.
Now that both sides have stopped fighting with Lin Ze's intervention, the Nightmare Demon no longer has the arrogance it had before.
She casually conjured up a long, luxurious table filled with a variety of delicacies. "Don't worry, these things only exist in my dreams. They won't cause any harm to your bodies, but they'll still satisfy your appetite."
After saying that, she walked down from the throne and took the first seat at the chairman's seat at the long table.
Li Muhan, Mengmeng, and Xingli did not sit down, especially Xingli. Although she was shocked by the fierce battle just now, she did not forget the purpose of her visit.
"...where's my brother?"
Shimotsuki used her slender fingers to pick up a grape from the plate and put it into her mouth. After the food was in her stomach, she said slowly, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten."
After saying that, she tapped the table lightly with her fingers.
The giant black snake immediately crawled down the stairs, crawled to the side of the dining table, and then straightened up. Just when Li Muhan and the other two didn't understand what it was going to do.
The giant snake suddenly opened its mouth wide, and then spat out a wet thing.
"Starfall!"
The moment Xingli saw the thing covered with giant snake slime fall to the ground, she pounced over.
Li Muhan also hurried over and almost vomited after taking a look. The thing covered with mucus turned out to be a snow-white kitten.
Xingli didn't care about the slime on the white cat at all. She took off her coat, wrapped the white cat up, and then called the white cat's name in a trembling voice: "Xingluo... don't scare me... what's wrong with you..."
The woman looked at Xingli with boredom, then crossed her legs and said, "Miss Xingli, please rest assured, your brother is not hurt at all."
Xingli looked up, her eyes bloodshot. She glared at the woman with bared teeth. Li Muhan squatted beside her and then tentatively checked the breath of the white cat.
Hypnos' power allowed him to have a certain sensitivity to life. At this moment, after he gently placed his hand on the white cat's wet head, he indeed felt that the white cat was not hurt at all, and its evenly rising and falling belly seemed to indicate that it was having a sweet dream.
"Don't worry, your brother is fine." Li Muhan said to Xingli in a voice as gentle as possible, but Xingli's hands holding the white cat were still shaking.
"Then...then why can't it wake up..."
At this time, Mengmeng also came over. At first she was just skeptical, but after observing the white cat closely she became convinced of her guess.
"...It's trapped in the nightmare."
Mengmeng whispered in Li Muhan's ear, but Xingli still heard Mengmeng's words. She suddenly looked up at Shuangyue and shouted in a voice full of anger: "Let my brother wake up!"
The woman deliberately looked away, her face full of disdain. "This is not within the scope of the transaction, Miss Xingli. You just asked me to return my brother to you, and I have returned him to you now, intact."
"...If anything happens to my brother, I swear...Nightingale Circus will fight the Kumogakure to the bitter end with all our might!"
After Xingli finished saying this, the five tails behind him simultaneously emitted a strange aura.
Li Muhan also whispered to Meng Meng: "Can you crack it?"
Meng Meng shook her head slightly and lowered her head with some guilt: "...Her dream...is too powerful, I...I can't get in, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it." Li Muhan smiled and patted Mengmeng's shoulder. Then he gently stood in front of Xingli and said to the woman sitting at the long table, "Tell me, what are your other conditions?"
"...Little brother, I dare not provoke you. I can't afford to offend your parents."
The woman avoided the question and acted very deliberately, which made Li Muhan smile.
"Alright, Guild Master Shimotsuki, we've been friends for a while now. Since you're cooperating with the Special Management Bureau, let's be frank. What do you want?"
"I don't understand what you mean~"
The woman gently raised her hand and teased the giant snake's chin with her fingers. The giant snake also gently stuck out its tongue and wrapped it around her slender fingers.
Li Muhan wasn't angry. She glanced back at Mengmeng and winked at her, asking her to comfort Xingli first. Then he sat down on the chair next to the woman and said, "President Shuangyue, there's no need to keep me in suspense. Since you've made Xingli's brother like this in front of me, I know what you want to do. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Hey, little brother, you said that yourself. I didn't force you. If your parents ask about it later, I won't be able to bear the consequences."
The woman smiled and tapped the table lightly with her pipe.
"Okay, I said it myself. Even if I want to make friends with you, I'm willing to help you. The girl's name is Mengmeng, and she's also affiliated with the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau. With her as a witness, I'm volunteering to help you. Is that okay?"
After hearing Li Muhan's words, Shuangyue glanced at Mengmeng slightly.
Although they are of the same kind, Mengmeng now feels like she is about to be devoured.
She nodded quickly: "...I...I...I can...testify."
"Hey~ In that case~ Then little brother, I won't be polite to you."
Li Muhan gave a helpless smile. This side quest triggered a new side quest. When will it ever end?
But there was no other way. Since he was already here, and he did owe Xingli a lot of money and had caused her a lot of trouble, it would be unreasonable not to help her.
"Let me make it clear first, I won't do anything that would betray my trust, kill or rob people."
Li Muhan was the first to throw out his bottom line.
The woman smiled and took a puff of the cigarette, then gently exhaled a puff of smoke towards Li Muhan's face.
In the smoke, Li Muhan seemed to smell a unique fragrance. The moment this fragrance touched his skin, he began to feel excited throughout his senses.
But just when the neurotoxin produced by these auras was about to penetrate Li Muhan's skin, a green aura emanated from Li Muhan's body.
"...Goddess of Dreams, you actually have this being inside you. If you had used her power to escape the dream just now, you wouldn't be in such a mess."
The woman looked at Li Muhan teasingly.
Li Muhan was also helpless. Although he could use some of Hypnos' power, if he wanted to escape from the dream of this thousand-year-old nightmare demon, he had to get her support.
The moment he was dragged into the abyss, he had already called out to Hypnos, but he was sleeping like a pig. He had called out repeatedly, but Hypnos remained calm and unmoved, sleeping soundly...
"Ahem... well, let's not talk about that." Li Muhan quickly changed the subject: "So what you want me to do is related to this neurotoxin just now?"
The woman raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're quite clever, little brother. I wonder if you've heard of...Rin Yue Pink?"
