Chapter 152
Di Changqing spoke sincerely and naturally, with a kind of upright and righteous strangeness: "You are afraid of what others say about what you have done?"
He cast his eyes on Bai Liming, who was crouching and preparing to leave, and ordered him righteously: "Stand there and don't move."
Bai Liming was about to withdraw from this "battlefield" as his feet froze.
Although this mysterious Mr. Di only said five words, Bai Liming didn't know why, but he filled in the rest of the sentence in his mind - "I can't guarantee your life or death if you touch me."
When gods fight, the devils suffer.
"Hiss... where were we just talking about?" Di Zhangqing looked at his fingertips, a look of recollection on his face, "I remember now, we were talking about useless skeletons."
"I have to say you are quite smart. You buried the bones in your own land." Facing Bailicheng's instantly angry gaze, Di Changqing still had a lazy attitude, "The most dangerous place is the safest."
Bailicheng stood up suddenly, his teeth clenched, the outline of his cheeks became more distinct, and the smile was now completely gone, leaving only the spreading anger that burned people's reason. He grabbed Bailiming's wrist and pushed him out of the banquet hall on the first floor, then slammed the heavy door shut.
There were only two of them left on the entire first floor. Bailicheng turned around, almost unable to maintain his last bit of composure:
"Don't go too far!"
"You're going too far?" Di Zhangqing opened his eyelids and stared at him with red eyes. "I'm just telling the truth."
His temperament was always capricious. The more the people he disliked broke down in front of him, the more he wanted to step on their sore spots: "No way? Master Baili, you are not feeling guilty, are you?"
His contemptuous attitude and mocking tone further burned Baili Cheng's mind: "We, the Baili family, have a cooperative relationship with you. You have ulterior motives and are trying to pry into our family's secrets. Don't you think that what you did is wrong?"
Di Changqing: “……?”
There were so many laughable points in this question that he didn't even know where to start laughing.
"Although I personally don't think that you and I are in a cooperative relationship, I can't help it if you think so." Di Changqing said nonchalantly, "By the way, I'll correct it. The resentment in the north is almost condensed into substance. I'm not blind."
———The Chinese-style villa where Grandma Bai Liming lives is just to the north of this area.
"Although you are rude, irritable, and petty, I am magnanimous." Di Changqing continued in a tone that was so infuriating that he would not forgive her, "I reluctantly forgive you."
Bai Licheng: "..."
He now missed the poison puppet master he had met before. Although he looked sinister and was very uncomfortable to get along with, as long as the money was right, he could always get things done for you.
Over the years, because others always flattered Baili Cheng, his temper became worse and his tolerance became lower. Baili Cheng took a deep breath and tried to suppress his temper: "The only useful things of the mermaid are the blood, flesh and fat. If you need them, I can give you a portion of them. As for the skeleton... you can keep it for me as a reminder."
Eating the flesh and blood of mermaids can prolong life, and burning candles made from their fat can regulate the body and mind.
No matter how carefully one uses it, there is not much stuff on a mermaid, and Bailicheng is almost out of the raw materials. He has been looking all over the world for news about other mermaids, but to no avail.
The raw materials were becoming increasingly scarce, but he still allocated a portion of them. Bailicheng felt that he had given the greatest sincerity he could.
"I'm not interested in the blood, flesh and fat of the mermaid. I just want the skeleton." Di Changqing said, "Don't talk to me about other things. If the skeleton was useful, it would have become part of Anxin Pharmaceuticals long ago."
Bai Licheng shook his head: "That skeleton means something special to me. I really, really can't give it to you."
While he was speaking, Di Changqing's eyes were always on him. When those red, inhuman eyes stared at people, it was like a beast staring at its prey, which gave people a creepy feeling of fear.
Di Changqing stood up, and the chair slid across the floor with a harsh sound: "Tsk, how disgusting."
He looked at Baili Cheng, whose face became increasingly unhappy because of what he said, and felt a little disappointed: "I'm not here to discuss with you, I'm just telling you that we want that skeleton."
"I'll give you one day to think about it. I'll come and take it away at this time tomorrow." Di Changqing didn't want to stay for a moment. The heavy door of the banquet hall opened automatically to both sides. "You'd better be smart and don't play any tricks."
…
After leaving the disgusting banquet hall, Di Changqing strolled in the snow and walked leisurely to the north. He completely ignored the gravity of the surface world, put his hands in his pockets and walked along the outer wall as if he was taking a stroll, and went directly to the top floor of the villa.
He just stroked the glass lightly, and the glass under his palm melted silently. Di Changqing walked into the glass greenhouse full of lush flowers and plants, and his eyes were fixed in the center of the greenhouse.
He walked over, squatted down, and touched the "pebbles" on the ground: "You are really willing to give them up."
But as I get older, it's becoming less useful.
Di Changqing casually picked up a few useful ones and threw them aside, then gathered his spiritual power to his fingertips and openly drew a formation to cover it. With a scan of his senses, he knew that there were at least ten cameras in the greenhouse.
He got in front of the camera closest to him and said with a smile, "I came here for a walk after dinner to help digest the food. I'll give you a gift. You're welcome."
It seemed that he really was just taking a stroll after dinner as he said. After throwing the formation, Di Changqing returned the same way. Before leaving, he picked a precious orchid from the side and played with it in his hand.
He went back to prepare some things first, as there was a good show waiting for him tomorrow afternoon.
*
Yu Tu had no idea about the series of thrilling events that happened after Bai Liming returned.
He just returned to the teahouse after Bai Liming left. He inexplicably felt that the temperature in the teahouse seemed a little lower - maybe it was because he had stayed outside in the ice and snow for too long.
But by the evening, he felt something was wrong.
Because Xiao Hui came over with his New Year's red food bowl in his mouth to complain that an unknown creature had eaten his food!
Most of the time, Xiao Hui is a considerate civet cat, but the premise is that you don't touch its food. Because when wandering, it is always hungry after picking up food everywhere. The idea of "don't go hungry" has always been deeply engraved in its heart.
Little Gray was so angry that his barking voice changed in pitch, and a long crack was bitten in the festive red food bowl by his teeth.
Yu Tu snatched the remains of the food bowl from Xiao Hui's mouth, felt the residue on it, and following the vague line, Yu Tu poured out a jar of resentment from the wooden jar in the corner of the shelf on the wall of the teahouse.
Yes, it is not something normal, but a jar of resentment, a jar of resentment that seems to have its own consciousness.
It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as that resentment came out, Yu Tu's heart skipped a beat.
This resentment seems quite familiar.
But didn't he suppress all his resentment back into that piece of heart scale? Why did he appear in his teahouse?
The ball of resentment that he poured out of the jar had already condensed to the point where it was visible to the naked eye. Before Yu Tu had time to observe further, he discovered that Xiao Hui, the culprit, had rushed forward with an "Ah" and slapped the ball of resentment with one claw.
The seemingly solid ball of resentment was instantly dispersed, climbing up along Xiao Hui's attacking claws and hitting his face. With a cry of "Ah!", Xiao Hui fell straight onto the table, and Yu Tu was so scared that he dragged him over and started to check - he was frozen unconscious.
This ball of resentment had no ill intentions towards Xiao Hui, but because of its sudden attack, the coldness of the ball of resentment subconsciously counterattacked.
After confirming that Xiao Hui was not in danger, Yu Tu put it back into the kennel. He believed that after this lesson, it would not be so reckless when facing unknown enemies in the future.
The resentment that was dispersed by Xiao Hui gathered together again and floated on the table. It looked quiet and pitiful, completely different from the violent anger that seemed to destroy the world in the car before.
Yu Tu's heart ached.
He seemed to know where the energy used to form Gold Devourer No. 3 was used.
He had previously used his consciousness to contact that group of resentment, which consumed a lot of energy. He thought he was suppressing the resentment back into his heart scales, reversing the process of the resentment erupting, so he consumed extra energy. But in fact, the energy that disappeared was to completely peel off the resentment from his heart scales and then "purify" it.
To put it simply, what Bai Liming took away was an empty shell with resentment left in it. The real body of the resentment had been taken away by him without his knowledge. If the ball of resentment had not been very weak after being "purified" and had not stolen Xiao Hui's dog food to replenish its energy, Yu Tu estimated that he would not have discovered it for a long time.
Yu Tu: “…”
Why did this hot potato finally fall into his hands?
The ball of resentment floating quietly on the table saw that he had not moved for a long time, so it quietly moved forward. Seeing that Yu Tu still did not respond, it moved forward again. When it moved to Yu Tu's hand, it circled around his hand, looking a little trusting and intimate.
Yu Tu felt like he was about to drop leaves from worry.
The energy used to give birth to Gold Devourer No. 3 is mainly used to separate the connection between it and the Heart Scale, and the excess part is used to "purify" it. To put it in an analogy, this "purification" is like giving a cat mint to a cat. Even if it is an angry cat, it will get addicted, but it will eventually wake up after being addicted for a while.
The current situation of the resentment group is similar to that of a cat encountering cat mint. The Never-Sleeping Marquis, which is made of energy, is the cat mint.
Yu Tu stared at the ball of resentment that was circling around him, and finally decided to just ignore it - he had taken on a new debt before the deal was even completed, which meant that he was in conflict with this deal.
Yu Tu curled his knuckles and tapped the table: "Go into the jar."
The ball of resentment hovered above the back of his hand, and after spinning twice with a hint of confusion, it flew back into the wooden jar crookedly. The empty jar was suddenly filled with black "little dark clouds", which were level with the mouth of the jar, and then a little bit of them quietly popped up, as if they were peeking through the mouth of the jar.
"I will send you back tomorrow morning. You can take revenge if you have any grudges to complain about."
Yu Tu reached out his hand, ruthlessly pressed down the protruding tip, and then ruthlessly closed the lid.
