Chapter 490 Ah Chen Disappears
For the past three days, Meng Qingyin has spent half a day each day visiting the Tower of Babel.
Firstly, it was to keep Ye Yingjun company and talk; secondly, naturally, it was for the Three-Pointed Knife.
The Three-Pointed Blade hasn't absorbed enough pure demonic energy yet, so she still needs to continue infusing it with pure demonic energy.
However, now that the Tower of Babel has been cleared, there's no need to grind it anymore. You can just spend some gold coins to clear it quickly and get some demonic resources, which is extremely convenient and fast.
The only downside is that it's expensive.
Ye Yingjun also had the happiest three days. When he learned that Meng Qingyin was going to Lu Cheng's birthday party the next day, he, who always loved to join in the fun, sighed for a long time because he could not leave the Tower of Babel, and the fun was destined to be out of his reach.
Thinking of the culprit who had caused him to be imprisoned here, Ye Yingjun broke down in his temper and started cursing again.
After he finished cursing, he discovered that Meng Qingyin had already left sometime earlier.
Ye Yingjun: "..."
After returning to the train, Meng Qingyin sent a message in the group chat: "Lu Cheng, is your banquet tomorrow in the train or outside?"
With the temperature so high outside, staying outside for a long time would probably dry you out completely.
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "Oh dear, I forgot the most important factor! It definitely can't be held outside, but my train can't hold that many people... Mengmeng, can I borrow your train? I promise I'll clean it up perfectly afterwards!"
Mengmeng: "Sure, I'll upgrade the train in a bit, so there'll be more space."
Her train was indeed spacious, but each carriage had a specific function, and there really wasn't any extra space to hold a banquet.
But that's not a problem; we can just upgrade.
I'm a lucky winner (poor guy version): "I'll provide the upgrade materials!"
After saying that, Lu Cheng sent over all the vehicle upgrade materials he had on hand, "If it's not enough, I'll go to the trading hall to buy more."
Looking at the large amount of upgrade materials he sent, Meng Qingyin said it was enough.
She expanded the train to ten carriages in one go and replied to Lu Cheng: "The carriages have been expanded, you can send the things over anytime."
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "Okay, I'll take the tables, chairs, and tableware over now."
Meng Qingyin waited for a while, and then Lu Cheng arrived. After exchanging greetings, Lu Cheng began to set out the tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks, and other tableware. Meng Qingyin, Qingfeng, and Qin Feng helped him set them out. Lu Cheng nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, all set."
...
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and people began arriving at Meng Qingyin's place early in the morning.
Lu Cheng was the first to arrive, after all, he was the host of the banquet and had to entertain the guests and prepare the ingredients.
As for the guests, in addition to his friends, Lu Cheng also invited Li the Blacksmith, Li Tieniu, Jin Xiu, and others.
The carriage was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
However, the other main character, Achen, has yet to appear.
Lu Cheng sent her a message, but she didn't reply.
Lu Cheng panicked and immediately teleported to A Chen's house to check on the situation.
As it turned out, no one was home at Achen's house, but there was a very formal white dress on the bed, indicating that Achen had not forgotten today's banquet.
But she wasn't home.
Lu Cheng returned to Meng Qingyin's train, completely bewildered. "Achen isn't home. I sent her messages but she didn't reply. Where did she go?"
Li the Blacksmith: "Ah Chen is a traveling merchant. Could it be that she has work today? Perhaps she'll come after she finishes her work?"
Grandma Jinxiu shook her head: "Achen is resting today."
Lu Cheng's heart jumped instantly. Where would Xiao Xing go?
Grandma Jinxiu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go look for her."
After saying that, he quickly left.
Lu Cheng was filled with worry. He had finally reunited with Xiao Xing, what if something happened to her...
He couldn't bear the pain of losing Xiaoxing again.
Qin Jiu comforted him, "Granny Jinxiu and Achen are both traveling merchants, so maybe she can find Achen soon."
Lu Cheng nodded unconsciously: "...Yes, Granny Jinxiu will definitely find Achen, she definitely will."
The cheerful atmosphere on the train was completely destroyed by this sudden change.
...
Both She Bing and Mao He witnessed this scene.
Snake C whispered in Cat He's ear, "These players seem to know you exist. Look at the mess you've made. What if Huang Teng finds out..."
His words were brief and to the point, and Maohe's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Standing before the two was Ah Chen, who looked somewhat flustered.
Maohe stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder. "Don't be afraid. Tell me the truth. Have you remembered your past?"
After a moment of silence, Achen nodded.
Snake C also walked over, his cold gaze fixed on Ah Chen, "Did you tell those human players about Cat Harvest's secret?"
Ah Chen hurriedly denied it: "I didn't! I didn't tell them a single word about Sister Maohe's secret!"
"Heh," Snake C chuckled coldly, "You think I'd believe you?"
Maohe stood in front of Achen, coldly staring at Shebing. "Enough! If she had really told Lu Cheng and the others about all this, she would have been annihilated long ago! The fact that she's standing safely in front of us says it all, doesn't it?"
Snake C pressed on aggressively: "Even if she doesn't talk now, can you guarantee she'll never talk? That Zheng Yi, wasn't he wiped out because he leaked his memories of his past life? Do you think those players won't become suspicious? As for this little girl, what if she also leaks our secrets? Do you think Huang Teng will let you off the hook?"
Mao He's expression grew colder and colder. "She Bing, just say it. What exactly do you want?"
“It’s simple,” Snake C raised his hand and pointed at Ah Chen, “Just kill her. Only by killing her can we ensure that our secret will not be exposed.”
Maohe flatly refused: "Impossible! She did not break her promise to me, and I have no reason to kill her."
"You still have hope for her?" Snake C sneered. "After all this time, she's only obtained one Night Demon Heart, which is enough to show that she's utterly useless. What's the point of keeping such trash around? Don't forget, the task you gave her was a full one hundred Night Demon Hearts!"
Maohe reiterated, "So what? Even if she fails to complete her mission, even if she regains her past memories, that's not a reason for me to kill her."
Snake C was enraged, "If you don't want to do it, then I will!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his huge snake tail tightly wrapped around Achen's neck, and in no time, Achen's face began to turn blue.
Cat was startled, and its hand transformed into a cat claw, grabbing the snake's tail hard, leaving it covered in blood.
Snake Bing, in pain, had no choice but to release Ah Chen.
Ah Chen bent over, clutching her neck and coughing violently. The suffocating feeling of being on the verge of death filled her with genuine fear.
