Chapter 16: Lord Dragon, let me touch your tail...
Undercover missions carry certain risks, but this matter cannot be delayed.
The content of this mission is neither simple nor difficult, and it is even within the territory of Luofu... Lu Qi does not need to confront others head-on, he just needs to protect himself.
"..." Lu Qi drank a sip of water in silence, then said in disbelief, "You just gave me a task like that?"
Dan Feng nodded, not understanding what she was shocked about.
"For a confidential mission like this, shouldn't it be done in a dark place, with a secret handover?" Lu Qi gestured, his eyes wide as if they were a deer. "And then give me a mysterious document with a coded code..."
"There's no such thing."
"Damn..." Lu Qi complained quietly, "This is not cool at all."
Regardless of whether it was cool or not, she had to take on this mission. As a member of the Cloud Cavalry, Lu Qi was just a lowly recruit in the [Lance Guard], and in the logistics department. She had to complete the mission assigned by her superiors, even with tears in her eyes.
As for formalities, the boss is just a formality.
Lu Qi could only train miserably on the training ground for a week. Her training intensity was not high, but it could not withstand the large amount of training content she needed to do.
The gloves Ying Xing made for her could only allow her to rely on brute force to catch blades with her bare hands and to defeat others with force, and at most she could only defeat recruits like her.
If Lu Qi were to face a strong man like Dan Feng, he would only be beaten.
So after knowing Lu Qi's shortcomings, the teacher specially trained her physical fitness and body flexibility.
Perhaps he received special instructions from above, so the master trained the new recruit Lu Qi to death and often called a group of Cloud Cavalry to come and beat him up.
Now that was a problem. Lu Qi had beaten a group of people black and blue in a one-on-one fight, but now he became extremely embarrassed in a group fight. He often ran away with his head in his hands, trying to avoid attacks from who knows who.
Fortunately, his performance was impressive. He was able to hold out for three or two minutes against someone with great martial arts skills. At least he wasn't killed by a single blow.
After a week, Lu Qi's work location changed. After passing the medical examination of Dan Ding Division, she was recruited by Dan Feng. Then, she returned to Dan Ding Division offline and started from the most basic odd jobs.
That’s right, her undercover mission is accompanied by a change of identity, and Lu Qi first needs to go to work at Dandingsi.
"Ever since Jianmu was cut down, the status of the Danding Division has plummeted," Dan Feng briefly introduced the background of the Danding Division and explained, "Recently, folks have been publishing prescriptions claiming to be effective in suppressing demonic spirits, and one of the herbs used in them is unprecedented."
"I need to investigate the source of supply of that medicinal ingredient?"
"Yes and no," Dan Feng continued, "The recipe is currently correct, and the Ten Kings Division has no right to interrogate... Besides, the source of the recipe is unknown. We only know that person is hiding in the Dan Ding Division."
The Dan Ding Division could no longer study Jianmu as it had in the past, and gradually moved away from the center of power. Even the leader of the Dan Ding Division, who had made the greatest contribution to Luofu, found it difficult to preserve his former glory.
The bodies of the people on the Immortal Boat can heal themselves, and elixirs are not of much use to them. The biggest problem surrounding the people on the Immortal Boat is the demonic body.
In this environment, some unknown secrets emerged in Dandingsi.
The first person to notice that something was wrong was Yunhua, the chief alchemist of the Danding Division. She contacted the Diheng Division to resolve the issue. The Diheng Division sent people to investigate but to no avail. However, they vaguely discovered that something was wrong and alerted the Shen Ce Mansion.
General Teng Xiao of Shen Ce gave the task to Dan Feng. After much deliberation, Dan Feng finally gave it to Lu Qi.
As a short-lived species, Lu Qi naturally has no affinity with the demonic body and is more suitable to come into contact with alchemists and doctors.
"It sounds both difficult and simple." This was the first time Lu Qi received such a task, and his eyes lit up. "I will try my best!"
"Don't be reckless. This matter may be related to the organization [Medicine King Secret] from a thousand years ago. You have to be more careful." Dan Feng warned.
"What is the Medicine King's Secret?"
"An organization that has been extinct for a thousand years. Its members follow the ancestor of longevity, plague, and disaster, and regard him as their supreme leader."
Lu Qi's eyes brightened.
She was still thinking about how to get involved in things related to abundance some time ago, and now it's here. At first glance, it's a "side quest" released by the game, or maybe it's a "main quest".
As long as she keeps in contact, she might be able to see the God of Fertility again.
This time she has already figured out how to conquer Him!
Anyway, we have to meet first.
"By the way, what's the name of that medicine?"
Dan Feng closed his eyes and rested. He ignored gravity and floated in the air. A thick green dragon tail appeared behind him.
Lu Qi approached quietly.
"Li Longshen," he said calmly, "If we find out that Master Zhiming Long is involved... don't act rashly to alert the enemy."
It's related to dragons... It doesn't sound like a good thing.
Lu Qi reached out his hand, wanting to touch the jade-like tail. Just as he was about to touch the cold dragon scales, he saw the long tail sway and quickly move away.
"Okay."
The tip of Long Zun's tail is a ball of finely trimmed mane, which is now hanging in the air like cat grass, luring Lu Qi.
The owner of the tail stood still, with his left leg bent and his heel placed under the arch of his right leg, looking both elegant and handsome.
"I only trust you. You need to be careful about everything."
"You've told me to be careful so many times... Since you're so worried, then—let me play with your tail!"
Dan Feng turned his head to the side, his tail still rising high behind him. He opened his eyes, smiled and said, "Dream on."
Lu Qi was furious and pounced on the tail. Just when she was about to succeed, Dan Feng retracted his tail and returned to the ground from mid-air.
She missed and bumped into Dan Feng's back, causing her nose to ache.
"You... don't... have... martial... ethics..."
The girl had tears in her eyes and her nose was red from being hit. She looked so pitiful.
Dan Feng could only sigh and walked forward to take a closer look at her.
"Don't worry, there's no bleeding." He stretched out his hand helplessly and rubbed the tip of Lu Qi's nose. "It's a little red."
"Aren't you going to compensate me?" Lu Qi asked.
Dan Feng: “?”
"Let me play with your tail."
Dan Feng pretended not to hear and changed the subject.
"You should have joined Dandingsi a month ago, but since you joined me, you can only be treated as taking sick leave." Dan Feng talked about business, and Lu Qi stopped playing tricks. She put down her hand that was covering her nose, and her small nose was slightly red, looking pitiful.
"good."
"You are a short-lived species, and you have entered a fertile destiny. Others will not be too wary of you."
Lu Qi nodded, feeling that Dan Feng was particularly nagging today.
"Yunhua will serve as your 'master' and bring you into the Dan Ding Division. He will also give you a list of suspects. You are responsible for gaining their trust."
"Teacher Danfeng," Lu Qi raised his hand and asked, "Can't these people be bribed?"
"No," Dan Feng replied calmly, "Besides, any rash action will only make these rats hide deeper, which could lead to serious trouble."
In fact, they did not know whether the source of this organization was in Dandingsi, but if they did not intervene, those drugs would be passed on to the public.
It's always a hidden danger.
It is true that the people of Xianzhou live long lives, but their longevity does not mean they can have a good end. Not to mention the "demon Yin body" that leaves the people of Xianzhou helpless and has no treatment plan yet, those who are born and raised in the "natural deficiency" state are also in a natural deficiency state due to the special physique of the people of Xianzhou.
Those who are blind cannot obtain light through external means, and the bodies of those with mutilated limbs will also reject mechanical creations.
Everyone has their own sufferings in life. Even the Chiming clan, who can transform into eggs and be reborn, suffer from the pain of being unable to have offspring.
"Speaking of which...how do you know it's related to Master Long?"
"It's just a suspicion," Dan Feng said. "There's no actual evidence at the moment. If you find it for me, I'll report it to the general and have him deal with those guys."
Since Dan Feng said so, Lu Qi couldn't help but work.
This is her creditor, who gives her living expenses every week. If she spends it all, she can beg him for an overdraft.
Lu Qi was overdrawn almost every week. She always bought some strange things on Yuzhao. Some of these things were given to friends, and some were placed in her cabinet as decorative exhibitions.
This kind of undercover mission, blending into a group, was indeed a perfect fit for Lu Qi. She had only been at the Dan Ding Division for two days when she successfully infiltrated the medical practitioners' chat group. She spent a lot of time online, even taking time off from work to slack off.
The internet is a place where distance is easily bridged; even the most socially anxious can be easily broken. Lu Qi, in particular, chose to befriend seemingly gossipy healers. Suddenly, her Yu Zhaozhong [Luofu Six Swordsmen] group chat was flooded with messages.
Instead, it was replaced by the [Dandingsi Medical Team].
Although it was best not to have any communication with Lu Qi while undercover, it was limited to working hours. After work, Lu Qi still saw Dan Feng in her small house. The noble Long Zun was cooking for her, and all the flavors she liked were cooked.
While eating, Lu Qi was playing with Yu Zhao.
Dan Feng frowned, bent his long fingers, and tapped the table lightly.
"Eat first."
"Feed me, I'm a little busy now." Lu Qi's eyes were still fixed on Yu Zhao. She had added too many people recently and couldn't reply to their messages. She could only turn her head and open her mouth towards Dan Feng, "Ah~"
Dan Feng picked up some food for her with a gloomy face.
The meal lasted so long that the soup had gone cold, but Lu Qi was still talking about Yu Zhao.
When Dan Feng didn't want to endure it anymore, Lu Qi finally cheered.
"It's done!"
"Then eat well."
"No, I'm full." Lu Qi wiped her mouth with a tissue and drank the cold soup in the bowl in one gulp. She looked up at Dan Feng with sparkling eyes, "I found the healer who was behaving strangely!"
"...There's no deadline for this mission. You don't need to push yourself so hard."
"No, what if the people on Xianzhou believe this prescription and keep using it? What if something goes wrong?" Lu Qi thought further, "Anyway, I'm alone, so even if I'm exposed, nothing will happen..."
The strange app gave Lu Qi an identity but no family background. She was all alone, like a helpless duckweed.
If the mission failed, only Dan Feng and her group would be affected. Each of them was much more powerful than her, and even Ying Xing, who was also a short-lived person, had a certain degree of self-preservation ability.
She is simply the worst.
Lu Qi's work efficiency is indeed very high. She is growing so fast that it seems like she has pressed the accelerator these days.
Without Danfeng realizing it, she had become able to stand on her own.
And she is really suitable to be an undercover agent. Just by opening and closing her little mouth, she can gain the trust of others effortlessly.
Lu Qi seemed to be born with the ability to convince others easily. When she interacted with others sincerely, they would easily open their hearts to her.
Even a few of them fell one by one in a short period of time.
Dan Feng no longer remembered when he started to take Lu Qi into his protection, nor did he remember how long it took her to become the glue between them after he introduced her to other people.
Lu Qi is just like her online name, a scorching and shining sun.
Three days later, Lu Qi's undercover mission paid off. Her eyes were dull and she was so sleepy that she could lie down on the spot. She also tried hard to throw a stack of information to Dan Feng.
Paper version.
It seems that secret organizations use it to avoid Skynet inspections to prevent information from leaking.
"I've compiled a list of suspicious people," Lu Qi rubbed his eyes, "Ah... I'm so tired..."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's okay, but I've only been in the Dan Ding Division for a short time, and so far I've only come into contact with suspicious individuals among the doctors. However, I haven't yet investigated what they are doing specifically. If I want to get to the bottom of it, it will take some time..."
"That's enough," Dan Feng said, reaching out to rub Lu Qi's head, "You should have a good rest first, I'll take care of the rest."
"You really don't need my help anymore?" Lu Qi raised his head. "I'm very fast. Maybe if you give me some time, I can become their second-in-command."
Lu Qi didn't want to work, but this task was related to the believers of abundance, so she always needed to pay attention to it.
Ever since Huai Ci turned into stardust and disappeared, she has never been able to come into contact with the believers of abundance or the power related to abundance.
Luofu Xianzhou has very strict control over books in this area. Even if Bai Heng recommended her an acquaintance from the Dihengsi, she could only learn about some unimportant cases.
The message sent to Huaici's account has not received a reply, and Lu Qi is a little anxious.
In fact, according to the rate of life exchange in her reality, even if she stayed in the other world for thousands of years, it would only be a few months in the outside world.
But Lu Qi was afraid that if she stayed here for too long, she would become addicted to it and forget that there were people waiting for her in the real world.
"It's okay, that's enough."
"Okay..." Lu Qi's whole body was flat. She lowered her head and rummaged in her sleeve pocket, taking out the pill someone gave her. "Then you don't need this thing either?"
The dark red pill exuded an ominous aura. Dan Feng keenly smelled the scent of the Chiming clan in it, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"Who gave it to you?"
"A sister from the Danshi Department," Lu Qi answered honestly, with a hint of desire in his eyes. "I just contacted someone from the Danshi Department, so let me continue investigating..."
"This matter involves the Chiming clan, you shouldn't continue to take risks." Dan Feng confiscated the pills handed over by Lu Qi and said lightly.
"It's too late," Lu Qi blinked and pointed at his finger guiltily, "I've already promised that sister to join the [Medicine King Secret] with her."
Dan Feng: “……?”
Dan Feng: “…………”
The black-haired Long Zun couldn't bear it any longer and reached out to pinch Lu Qi's ear. He stared at her expressionlessly while she screamed "It hurts, it hurts".
But Lu Qi still tried to act coquettishly.
"Wow, Danfeng, you bullied me," her tears fell without a trace, hanging in the corners of her eyes, looking so pitiful, "You have to compensate me, my ears hurt so much..."
The black hair was as cold as silk, and now it fell into his palm. The tearful eyes were like fine jade, full of water.
She tilted her head and rested her chin on his palm.
Her face was a little cold, perhaps from the tears that had just stained it, and also strangely sticky. She rubbed his fingers cautiously like a coquettish kitten.
Dan Feng couldn't help but gently scratched her chin with his fingers.
"This won't happen again."
Dan Feng was indeed easy to coax. Lu Qi made a "yeah" gesture in his heart and subconsciously took advantage of the situation.
"Then, let me play with your tail."
Dan Feng: “…”
Lu Qi showed a hopeful expression: "If the tail doesn't work, let me touch the horns... um... the ears are OK too!"
“…Stop dreaming.”
