"What if Zheng Chenggong is assassinated by other players if we sneak onto the island?" Li Qianxia asked.
Li Changzhou looked at Yaochi: "You're staying?"
"My mission is not to be Zheng Chenggong."
"You still haven't figured out your mission after all this?" Li Changzhou said with a hint of regret.
"You're too inexperienced, but I like inexperienced girls," Yaochi said with a smile.
She added, “When I’m in the instance, I will definitely gather enough intelligence. I will never act rashly. You two don’t gather intelligence and you’re too kind, so you are disorganized and just take things one step at a time.”
“It’s not so bad,” Li Changzhou said. “It’s called being adaptable, tailoring to circumstances, and acting on impulse.”
"I see you're quite quick-witted and good at making excuses," Yaochi praised him sarcastically.
“We are outnumbered, there’s nothing we can do.” Unlike Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan frankly admitted her mistake.
“My brother and I both think it’s fine,” Li Qianxia said. “As long as the three of us are together, we can take it one step at a time without any problems!”
"And what about this time? What's next?" Yaochi asked with a smile. "Let's make this clear first: once you're gone, I won't stay on the ship as a sitting duck."
With so many skills, even Yaochi, with her S-level innate abilities, wouldn't dare say she could handle all ambushes.
"Let's launch a long-range bombing raid on Taiwan," Yaochi said.
Li Qianxia frowned: "What about the people on the island?"
Yaochi looked at her and smiled meaningfully: "You must have suffered losses or even put your lives in danger because of protecting the ancients."
“…” Li Qianxia recalled America in 1880.
“I’m not saying it’s wrong to do this.” Yaochi’s tone became gentle and kind. “These people are, after all, ancient people, and they don’t care whether they live or die. Of course, we should have a bottom line as human beings and not treat their lives like grass. But when it comes to our own safety, or even life and death, we should take action.”
“…I understand.” Li Qianxia nodded.
She didn't want her brother to actually go through the eighteenth level of hell for the sake of the people on the island. Even if it were a real person in the "present," let alone history, she wouldn't want to.
After persuading Li Qianxia, Yaochi looked at Li Changzhou and tilted her head slightly—"What do you mean?"
Li Changzhou had no aversion to bombing, just like back in 1880 when he planned to use ordinary people for vampire experiments.
But he didn't intend to do it; at the time, he thought the vampire experiments were too cruel, so he didn't do them.
Besides, this was something his sister didn't want him to do.
The older brother wouldn't do anything to upset his younger sister.
This is irrational and detrimental to his survival, but for him, some things take precedence over reason and survival.
Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan: "What do you think?"
Yang Qinglan knew him well enough to say, "Let's take it one step at a time."
She added, "If there's really no other way, then do as Yaochi said."
"Okay! It's decided then!"
"So what exactly did we discuss back and forth about?" Yaochi was speechless at these three people. If they were her subordinates, they would have had their wages docked long ago.
"Who said we were discussing this?" Li Changzhou laughed, slapping his knee. "Can't we catch up with friends we haven't seen in a long time?"
"Hmm—" Yaochi pretended to think for a moment, then smiled, "That works too."
We won't deduct his salary. Those in positions of power always need a few people around them who can say nice things; otherwise, what's the point of having a high position and great power?
The four of them didn't talk about attacking Taiwan, but chatted about their recent experiences.
"I heard your house was blown up?" Yaochi was genuinely laughing this time.
"Let's end our reminiscing here."
Who reminisces like this?!
The four returned to the practice of visualization and shared their experiences with each other.
For Yaochi, the three S+ level visualization techniques possessed by Li Changzhou and his companions were undoubtedly a treasure trove of experience.
For Li Changzhou and his two companions, Yaochi itself possessed an S+ level visualization technique and was also very knowledgeable. Before obtaining the [Queen Mother of the West], she had at least dozens of B or A level visualization techniques, making her a treasure trove of experience.
The two sets were joined together, and both felt that their understanding of the concept of contemplation had deepened.
"Sister Yaochi, the Classic of Mountains and Seas records that the Queen Mother of the West is in charge of the calamities of heaven and the five calamities. What exactly does that mean?" Li Qianxia asked.
Yaochi spread her hands, and a ball of azure light appeared out of thin air, sometimes turning into a swaying shawl like a snake, sometimes into a living bluebird, sometimes into a long sword, sometimes into a feathered robe... changing in countless ways.
“This is the ‘Heavenly Wrath’,” Yaochi said. “It possesses the divine power to observe and control the energy of disaster.”
"The aura of disaster?" Li Changzhou asked curiously.
"It's basically like this: if you want someone to be unlucky, they'll be unlucky; if you want someone to be lucky, they'll be lucky."
"Then why don't you give us some good fortune?"
"I gave it to you, but you didn't want it." Yaochi smiled enchantingly, as if she were touching Li Changzhou's nose with her hand.
Li Changzhou picked at his ear with his right little finger.
“I’m getting closer and closer to the realm of immortals; even my earwax is gone.” He flicked his fingers.
"Don't play that nonsense." Yang Qinglan gathered her skirt, looking as if she didn't believe he didn't have earwax.
"Your attempt to change the subject was a bit lacking." Yaochi put away 'Heavenly Ferocity' and said, "As for 'Five Cripples,' it's a set of skills, or rather, a supernatural power."
“If you had used that technique just now, I wouldn’t be your match,” Li Changzhou sighed.
"Mmm," Yaochi admitted shamelessly.
He didn't ask what kind of supernatural power it was; the two had some acquaintance, but they weren't close enough to reveal their secrets.
