Zhang Twenty-Eight followed Zhu Xiaotian and Lu Gan as they slowly walked out of the bar. There seemed to be no tension between Zhu Xiaotian and Lu Gan. They did not hide their whereabouts, but Zhang Twenty-Eight remained cautious, discreetly following them until they reached a café, where he noticed a girl waiting for Zhu Xiaotian and Lu Gan.
"Yu Beiyao! You're early!"
Lu Gan smiled and greeted her, but Zhu Xiaotian showed no regard for her gender, his tone stiff and laced with sarcasm.
"Zhu Xiaotian! Don't be so rude; this is a public place. So, what do you want to do this time?"
The girl referred to as Yu Beiyao had curly hair that cascaded down to her waist. Her face bore a hint of laziness mixed with innocence, making it hard to determine her exact age. She possessed the charm of a mature woman while exuding the youthful energy of a girl. In the café, several men were discreetly casting glances in her direction.
Lu Gan's smile indicated his interest, but it went unreciprocated. Clearly, in Yu Beiyao's eyes, only Zhu Xiaotian was worthy of attention.
"I need a Gene Serum, labeled forty-seven, the kind used for dragonflies!"
Yu Beiyao nodded, closed her eyes for a moment, and then her elegant handbag emitted a faint vibration. With delicate fingers, she reached into the bag and pulled out a tightly sealed box.
"This is an express delivery from a long distance! The contents here should be enough to meet your needs!"
Zhu Xiaotian slightly nodded, took the box Yu Beiyao handed him, and stood up to leave with determined strides.
Zhang Twenty-Eight felt his throat dry and thought to himself, "I can't believe I got my hands on the Gene Serum worth three hundred fifty thousand so easily. Who is this woman? I need to be careful! If I pry into someone else's privacy, I fear that if I'm discovered, it could end with me being silenced for good!"
Yu Beiyao watched Zhu Xiaotian leave, seemingly indifferent. Lu Gan bid farewell to him, but Yu Beiyao didn't acknowledge it. Once she was sure Zhu Xiaotian had gone far away, she calmly said, "You little brat! Where have you been? You just got back. Don't tell me you've really taken a liking to that foolish little chubby guy?"
From a hidden corner, Zero Sakura stepped out slowly. She smiled as she defended herself and took out a thick document, sitting down across from Yu Beiyao.
"Sister, you really love to joke. How could I possibly like Wen Yi? It's just a temporary measure to keep a close watch on that dangerous guy Fang Lin Kong. Right now, with our strength, we're far from being able to take on that freak. If Wen Zhongda and Eastern Thunder were still around, we wouldn't have to be so cautious! We should have barged in long ago, given him a good beating, and then tortured him for information. Even without evidence, we could force him to confess."
Yu Beiyao shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "Those fools are all cowering in Kunlun trying to gain recognition from the town's sword of immortality. Otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen to us side troops to take on this mission! Besides, Fang Lin Kong is already on the Candidate God List; even if Wen Zhongda were willing to intervene, he might not win. And I've heard that Wen Zhongda has a good relationship with him; it's uncertain whether he would even step in!"
Zero Sakura ordered a cup of coffee and slowly added milkshake and sugar, saying lightly, "Sister, do you think what we're doing is worth it? We've sacrificed too much just to gain recognition in human cultivation!"
Yu Beiyao's expression darkened as she replied, "Fourth Sister, don't say such things! One day you'll understand that some choices are too far from our desires; it's something we have no choice but to accept!"
Zhang Twenty-Eight gradually sank deeper underground and was surprised to find that although these two women exuded abundant human spiritual energy, there was also an unmistakable hint of demonic energy that he could clearly sense.
"What exactly are these people up to?"
Zhang Twenty-Eight quickly pushed the thought out of his mind. For him, figuring out how to secure funding to purchase the Blood Transformation Bat's Gene Serum was the most pressing matter.
Zhang Twenty-Eight had indeed put in considerable effort into mastering the art of earth escape. He could move underground at nearly the same speed as an ordinary human running. When he emerged from a secluded street corner, he nearly collided with someone.
Zhang Twenty-Eight wasn't afraid of ordinary people seeing his actions; he cursed loudly and was about to leave when the other person reached out and stopped him.
The person blocking the way was Fang Lin Kong.
