But before he could worry for long, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears, "The plan is on hold this time. Be quiet for a while and do your experiment well. As for Wen Qi's matter... we'll talk about it later."

Xuye was stunned, "Sir? You are not..."

The adult was probably speechless, and it took him a while to respond: "It was King Pingdeng who was executed, not me." At present, Emperor Fengdu already had some suspicions, but he had not found conclusive evidence yet. Before his great cause was completed, he had to keep a low profile.

"I need a large army," the Lord requested, "an army that can infiltrate every part of the underworld silently."

Xuye felt relieved that his backer was still there. Hearing this, he said without hesitation: "As long as there are enough experimental materials, a large army will not be a problem."

The adults were satisfied, “How long will it take?”

Xuye didn't dare to respond rashly, but asked: "That depends on the quantity you need."

The adult said, "Let's start with 100,000."

Xuye's mouth twitched, and he estimated, "It will probably take three to five years."

"Okay." The adult was not in a hurry at all, "I have plenty of patience and can wait. Remember, once the final plan begins, it must be foolproof and absolutely successful. The cost of failure..." None of them can afford it.

Xuye's eyes were burning with eager anticipation, "Please rest assured, sir!"

In the virtual space, Wen Qi had already understood the essence of the barrier. She stood up from the ground and clapped her hands, saying, "Get ready. We are going home."

Fan Xiaoling stood up tremblingly, "Thank you for your hard work, I... still feel a little dizzy." The moment she opened her eyes, she lowered her head to look at the ground, not wanting to look at the barrier for another second! Wen Qi patted her comfortingly, "Hold on a little longer, I'll be back soon."

As she spoke, her hands were not idle. Runes flew out from her hands and were imprinted on the barrier one by one. The originally unbreakable barrier suddenly became turbulent.

After just a few breaths, cracks appeared on the barrier and it shattered. Then the entire space collapsed and everything in front of me went dark. When I opened my eyes again, Wen Qi had returned to the office's lounge.

"Finally I woke up." Liu Ran smiled in relief, "It will be dawn soon."

Wen Qi rubbed his aching forehead and said, "The consumption is a bit too much." He has to maintain the metaphysical secret book while breaking the barrier, and his soul power is constantly devoured by the barrier. It would be strange if he is not tired.

But she couldn't rest now, so she took out her cell phone and called Fan Xiaoling. She was slightly relieved to learn that Fan Xiaoling had no other problems except dizziness and nausea. After telling Fan Xiaoling to have a good rest, she hung up the phone.

After a moment of silence, Wen Qi suddenly sighed and called Han Zhen again, "There are still many ordinary people in the space that trapped us. I don't know how seriously they are affected by the barrier."

Han Zhenying said: "Don't worry, we will solve the follow-up problems."

Wen Qi uttered a listless "hmm".

Han Zhen asked curiously, "Why didn't you say it just now?" He was obviously with Ning Guochao and Fan Xiaoling, didn't she know about it? Wen Qi had a blank expression on his face, "I forgot."

Han Zhen: "...have a good rest." Look how tired you are. Your brain isn't working well anymore.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Qi lay back down, closed his eyes and said, "Thanks for your hard work, there shouldn't be anything to worry about, go and have a rest."

Liu Ran touched her head and frowned, "You seem to have a fever. Did you catch a cold when you came back last night?"

Mingren thought for a moment and said, "I'll go buy some medicine." Then he turned and went out.

Mingzhun looked around and said, "I'll go get a cup of hot water."

Wen Qi wanted to say that there was no need to bother, as she just wanted to sleep now, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't utter a single syllable.

When Mingren came back with the medicine, Liu Ran was so anxious that she wanted to call 120. It was only a few minutes and Wen Qi's fever was so high that it burned his hands! After taking the medicine and applying a fever-reducing patch, Wen Qi fell asleep.

At the same time, Feng Ce finally returned home after dealing with the matter in the underworld, but he saw an empty bed that was clearly empty and had not been slept in last night. He frowned slightly and called Wen Qi.

"Boss Feng?" Liu Ran said bluntly, "Wen Qi has a fever and just went to bed. What can I do for you?"

Feng Ce paused. He seemed very polite, but why did he feel a little resentful? Doubt flashed through his mind, and he asked, "In the office?"

Liu Ran said "hmm".

Feng Ce hung up the phone directly, opened the door and went in, then positioned himself directly next to Wen Qi, and then opened the door and went out. It took only a few seconds.

Liu Ran went out to answer the phone in order to avoid disturbing Wen Qi's rest. When he came back, he was startled and his eyes widened. "How did you get here?"

Feng Ce said nothing. He touched Wen Qi's face and frowned even more tightly. "Send her to the hospital."

Liu Ran was originally unhappy that he was not there when Wen Qi got into trouble, so he curled his lips and said, "You are already here, why don't you send it off yourself? You should take care of your own wife."

Liu Ran looked him up and down, and suddenly sneered: "I don't have the Yin-Yang Eyes. If you were really a spirit body, would I be able to see you?"

Feng Ce’s patience was about to run out, but after looking at Wen Qi whose face was flushed, he took a deep breath and raised his hand to signal Liu Ran to look.

Liu Ran looked over subconsciously, and in the blink of an eye, the hand turned transparent! She was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe it and asked, "You are in trouble too?"

Feng Ce looked at her expressionlessly and said again: "Send Wen Qi to the hospital."

Liu Ran frowned and shook her head. "No need. She has already taken the antipyretic and cold medicine. She has a good constitution and will be fine after a good night's sleep. There is no need to go to the hospital."

Feng Ce was still worried.

Seeing this, Liu Ran said, "Wait a little longer. If the fever doesn't go down, go to the hospital. She's been tired all night and is still sick. It would be even more uncomfortable to wake her up now."

Feng Ce's eyes flickered, "What happened last night? Where's Mingren? Why did he call me?"

Liu Ran was originally resentful towards Feng Ce, but since this man had turned into a spirit for some reason, she couldn't get angry either. But she was unwilling to let him go like this. She simply ignored his words for the time being and asked, "Does Wen Qi know that you have become like this? Where is your body? Can you still return to your soul?"

Feng Ce pinched the bridge of his nose. For the first time, he realized that communicating with Liu Ran was really tiring. However, it seemed that this was also the first time he had talked so much to Liu Ran. In the future, this kind of situation should be reasonably avoided.

Thinking about this, Feng Ce directly called Mingren and asked directly: "What happened last night?"

Mingren was very surprised, "Boss Feng, I'm so glad you're okay! Last night..." He told him everything he knew, and then said, "Wenqi has a fever and is now in the office. But don't worry, we have a lot of people here, and we can definitely take good care of her."

Feng Ce pondered, after putting so much effort into setting up such a big plan, why did he give up so quickly? Instantly, he connected this matter with the execution of King Pingdeng last night.

Is this killing the chicken to scare the monkey, or is it alerting the snake? "I'm at the office." Feng Ce said, thanked him, and hung up the phone.

Liu Ran's face turned red from holding back her anger. "What do you mean? I'm still here! Why did you call Mingren? I know all this too!"

Feng Ce glanced at her calmly, "But you don't want to say it." Without waiting for Liu Ran to speak, he began to chase people away, "Wen Qi needs to rest quietly, please go out first."

Liu Ran glanced at Wen Qi, and finally swallowed back the curse that was about to come out of her mouth. Why didn't she want to say that he didn't know how to count? And she didn't really intend not to tell him! He had no patience at all, how could Wen Qi stand him? !

She took several deep breaths in anger, turned around and went out. When she was outside and closed the door, Liu Ran realized belatedly that this was her lounge. Why did Feng Ce kick her out? She was so angry!

Wen Qi slept very deeply. She was woken up to drink water and take medicine. She was half asleep and half awake, and her eyes were not open. It was not until the next morning that she woke up completely. She stretched in the quilt and exhaled comfortably.

"Awake?" Feng Ce's light voice came from the side, "How do you feel?"

Wen Qi looked back and couldn't help laughing, "Very good! Are you leaving again after you come back this time?"

Feng Ce shook his head, "There shouldn't be any problems in the short term. After that, we'll just deal with it as it happens."

Wen Qi sat up, looking very excited. "I'm going to take a shower and change clothes first, then you can tell me in detail!" After that, she got out of bed and went into the bathroom. As she walked, she asked, "Where did Liu Ran sleep last night?"

Feng Ce told the truth: "I don't know."

Wen Qi curled his lips, and when he reached the bathroom door, he suddenly remembered something, summoned the secret book of metaphysics, and placed Feng Ce's body on the bed, "You go back and get used to it first, I'll be there soon."

Feng Ce nodded and lay back in his body. When he opened his eyes and sat up, he actually felt like a mountain was pressing down on him. After a while, he stood up and walked around the room a few times, and soon got used to it.

When Wen Qi came out of the bathroom, he had completely returned to his usual self - sitting on the sofa and handling work.

"Come and eat first." Feng Ce said, "Take the medicine after dinner."

Wen Qi protested: "I'm completely fine!"

Feng Ce hummed, and said calmly, "Take it for another day, in case it recurs."

Wen Qi has such a good physique, how could a cold recur? But she did have a severe fever yesterday, and knowing that Feng Ce was concerned about her, she didn't say anything more.

After eating the porridge, he frowned and swallowed the medicine.

Wen Qi rinsed his mouth with water, then sat up straight and said, "Come on! I'm ready to listen to your story!"
