Chapter 25 Playboy Condensation Cream
Soon it was the end of the month settlement day.
Li Yanmo accepted the fact that he did not go bankrupt very calmly.
Although he had an extra 30,000 spirit stones, his spirit fruit reserves had dropped from a desperate 60,000 jin to 50,000 jin, and were decreasing at a very considerable rate.
The zoo tactics were very effective. Of course, the biggest contributor was the old man Mei Chai Shao, who ate spiritual fruits like candy beans, and never felt full no matter how much he ate. The most important thing was that Mei Chai Shao ate but never forgot to work. Apart from eating, drinking and sleeping, he read the Qigong manual to the animals, but it was ineffective.
During this period, Li Yanmo has become more familiar with Leng Ningshuang. He doesn't know if it is Li Yanmo's illusion, but Leng Ningshuang would look conflicted from time to time. But when Li Yanmo asked about it, Leng Ningshuang would nervously say that it was okay.
Thinking that although Leng Ningshuang was heroic, she was still a girl, he was very graceful and did not ask.
"Brother Li, Brother Li! Here, here!"
Li Yanmo looked around and finally found the person who greeted him in the corner.
The other person was a fair-faced scholar who was holding a folding fan in his hand, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were staring hard in his direction.
Li Yanmo stared at the other person for a while before he exclaimed in surprise, "Cold—"
"Brother Li, keep your voice down!"
Seeing that Li Yanmo was about to reveal his identity, Leng Ningshuang immediately stepped forward and pressed her folding fan against Li Yanmo's mouth.
Li Yanmo also realized that Leng Ningshuang did not want to reveal her identity, and immediately nodded.
Leng Ningshuang then took a step back and opened her folding fan, and peach blossoms bloomed from the fan.
"I'm a playboy now, I wonder if Brother Li is free now?"
"Young Master Hua specially came to invite me, so naturally Li is free."
Seeing that Leng Ningshuang seemed quite enthusiastic about playing the role of a playboy, and no longer felt the entanglement and depression she had in the past few days, Li Yanmo didn't want to spoil Leng Ningshuang's mood, so he bowed to her in a serious manner.
Leng Ningshuang raised her brows with satisfaction. She swung her folding fan, stepped on the square step, and brought Li Yanmo to the tallest restaurant in Risheng City - Yellow Crane Tower. She threw a gold bar at random.
The shopkeeper went out to greet the guest himself, "Mr. Hua, it's been a long time since we last met. I thought we had upset you."
"Boss, what are you talking about? I got into some trouble before and was put in solitary confinement by my family. Now I finally got out, and I came to you to have fun right away," Leng Ningshuang laughed and waved her hands.
Li Yanmo, who was standing aside, had a strange expression on his face.
He had heard people say before that women are born to be dramatic, and now it seems that there is some truth to it.
In constable mode, Leng Ningshuang looks heroic, with a flag behind him that says "I will never tolerate evil". But now in playboy mode, Leng Ningshuang looks like a suave playboy.
Led by the shopkeeper, Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang came to the top floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, a private room with a flowery sign hanging on it.
"Don't worry, Playboy. You are the only one who can use this place. We will clean it every day to ensure there is no dust at all."
The shopkeeper personally opened the door for Leng Ningshuang, and it seemed as if there was a tail swinging back and forth behind him.
Leng Ningshuang nodded in satisfaction, "Go down first, I'll call you if there's anything."
"Okay!"
When the shopkeeper left, he bowed respectfully to Li Yanmo, without showing any contempt for Li Yanmo's simple attire.
After the door was closed, Leng Ningshuang regained some of her heroic appearance. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she fanned herself with a fan. "Brother Li, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. My original identity was too conspicuous."
"It's okay. I think it's quite fresh too."
Li Yanmo smiled and shook his head, then walked to the window.
The view here is great and you can see a lot of places.
"Ahem - Brother Li, I'm here to thank you this time. Thanks to you, we were able to catch quite a few members of the Demon Immortal Cult."
Leng Ningshuang coughed, put her hands on her knees and thanked Li Yanmo seriously.
"The soldiers will never forget your assistance."
"The time has not come yet. What you caught are just the broken tails of lizards." Li Yanmo leaned against the window and observed the pedestrians on the road. "It's not the first time that the Demon Immortal Cult has done something like this. It's not so easy to be caught. Maybe... they deliberately let you catch those people to draw your attention back."
Leng Ningshuang was stunned. Instead of asking why immediately, she pinched her chin.
After pondering for a moment, Leng Ningshuang finally reacted.
"The Demon Immortal Cult may have other means to transform the animals in your hands into demons, so for them, even if you move those animals out of Sunrise City, it won't be a big deal."
"But if the soldiers are sure that you are the followers of the Demon Immortal Cult, they will kill all the animals in your hands just to be on the safe side, and then their plan will be ruined."
Li Yanmo nodded and continued, "The situation is different now. Those animals are outside Risheng City, and the owner is not a merchant from other places, but the Shen family."
"Now that the three members of the Shen family have all achieved cultivation, they are cultivators rather than ordinary people, so there are not so many rules restricting the military sect."
"The military can just take action on the pretext of protecting the safety of the people of Risheng City."
Leng Ningshuang frowned slightly. "In order to reduce suspicion on you, they deliberately threw out some baits to maintain balance and distract our attention... This is indeed a troublesome matter."
Leng Ningshuang paused and added, "Don't worry, we won't slaughter your animals just to get things over with."
"Thank you, but if the Demon Immortal Cult is not eliminated, when the time comes, it will not be up to you or me to decide whether those animals can survive."
Li Yanmo shook his head, and Leng Ningshuang remained silent.
For the sake of the common people, if it really comes to a last resort, the soldiers will definitely choose to kill all those animals.
The constables now surrounding the zoo are doing so to prevent the Demon Immortal Cult from getting close, and also to make preparations.
"...Master Leng, how is your reputation as Mr. Hua in Risheng City?"
Li Yanmo suddenly asked.
Leng Ningshuang was stunned, not understanding why Li Yanmo asked this, but still said awkwardly, "A romantic playboy, he occasionally causes some trouble and is locked up by his family, but he never changes his bad habits."
"Do you go to places like casinos?"
Leng Ningshuang raised her head and said, "I do know something. You don't want to go there, do you? Let me make it clear first. Although that place is a gray area, it doesn't mean it's not illegal."
"Master Leng, if I, the owner of the zoo, frequently go in and out of those corrupt places and intentionally or unintentionally spread the teachings of the Demon Immortal Cult...what would you think?"
"Of course I suspect you...ah——"
Condensation Frost reacted.
"Brother Li, what do you mean?!"
"The Demon Immortal Cult wants to balance the suspicion between me and them, so why don't I increase the suspicion on myself?"
