499. Why Does This Demoness Still Have an Image to Maintain?

"Destroying too many isn't good either, the Capitalist Income Protection Guild is still here watching..."

That's true.

Why is it fried so well?

Don't you understand? It's all for 'capital'!

This is an urgent mission, and there's an express fee! The more we blast, the more money we make!

These kinds of missions don't happen all the time. After all, how many rockets, satellites, and Space Capsule do you get besides official orders?

Normally, they're very stingy with official orders, rarely paying anything. But now, with such a great opportunity...

Right?

"Gentlemen."

Back home, Lin·Purple Firmament made a video call to Zhou Xiaoran, who spoke respectfully...

More than a month has passed, and his originally colorful short hair has grown quite a bit, and he has shaved it again.

Clearly, Zhou Xiaoran has gradually returned to normal after her 'rebellious' phase, and she no longer likes her colorful buzz cut, so she now sports a jet-black buzz cut.

Even so, she still looks very beautiful and has a capable style.

How is it going?

Lin·Purple Firmament asked.

Zhou Xiaoran was "borrowed" by the Resident Happiness Living Department to help with the setup, because she could often spot problems and areas that needed modification at a glance, which significantly accelerated the progress of the entire Spiritual Qi Revival.

Now that it was mostly completed, Lin·Purple Firmament thought she should inquire about the specific details.

"The design is basically complete; now it's just a matter of implementation." Zhou Xiaoran's tone was cheerful. "Perhaps I'll be back next week, sir."

"However, I have made some discoveries... but I'm not sure yet. I'll discuss it with you in detail when I get back, sir."

"Good!"

After a brief chat, the call ended.

What did Zhou Xiaoran discover?

Lin·Purple Firmament didn't press further. Since she had said she would talk about it when she got back, then she would.

Next, she opened Weibo and related forums and began searching for news related to Wudang...

There are quite a few news items and topics.

Most of the news reports were about mysterious roars coming from near Wudang, purple clouds filling the sky, and Wudang being "exploded," but no information about zombies was reported.

Clearly, the Resident Happiness Living Department has chosen to block the relevant information.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Otherwise, Lin·Purple Firmament could almost imagine that there were definitely more than just one or two people like Lao Shen!

Not knowing the details might be frightening.

Once you know the details...

They're probably going to flock to them, begging them to bite them.

That's troublesome too!

"Protect..."

Putting down her phone, Lin·Purple Firmament muttered to herself, "Since that zombie chose the four of them, perhaps it's fate?"

"I wonder if they will be able to contribute in the future."

If Lin·Purple Firmament originally only had a slight worry about whether Lin Fan would encounter death...

At that moment, he almost believed it.

We must be extremely cautious about everything related to this!

In the Cultivation World, Three Saints City.

Receiving the video from Sister A'Wu, Lin Fan clapped his hands. "Wonderful!"

"What do you mean by looking for Lin Fan and what does that have to do with me, Qi Zixiao? I haven't even arrived in the Cultivation World Cultivation World, but my name is already widely known there!"

"Our Saintess really knows how to have fun!"

"Give me back the 84 Disinfectant..."

"Wow, that's impressive."

"However, it seems that this Tang Xiaoxiao is quite capable. We need to keep an eye on her in the future."

He muttered to himself for a moment.

While strength is the ultimate measure, and the idea of "one force can overcome all laws" certainly sounds impressive, is it true that with absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are just a joke? That's true!

But the problem is that poison is also a form of strength, and even luck is.

The opponent, with only Spirit Severance Stage cultivation, created this kind of poison that targets the soul. If it weren't for the fact that Dan the Fatty's Ink Blood Toad Innate Divine Power had a similar effect, many of the prodigies this time would probably have been taught a lesson by the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect...

Unless a senior expert secretly lends a hand.

It's hard to imagine how powerful such a poison master would become once he truly matures; he might be able to wipe out an entire country with just a little bit of poison.

This time, the feud between the two sides has been established, and who knows what might happen next? It's always better to be careful.

Just as he was pondering this, Qi Zixiao's 'video call request' came through.

"Hello?"

The guy grinned and waved at Qi Zixiao's illusory figure. "It feels like ages since I last saw you, I've missed you~"

"Smooth-talking!"

Qi Zixiao laughed and scolded, "Let me tell you, your business deal is off!"

"Nobody wants you to bury them now, and nobody's going to be stupid enough to give you a chance to ambush them, so don't do anything reckless."

At this point, her smile was full of pride, "My business is really good. I'm making a killing on 84 Disinfectant, enough to buy dozens of bottles of good wine."

"Amazing! I'm truly impressed!"

This speed at which she makes money is indeed impressive. Lin Fan isn't a sour grapes person, so naturally he wouldn't be jealous or anything like that. Instead, he genuinely admires her.

"You're smart to know what's good for you."

It was clear that Qi Zixiao was quite happy. At that moment, she smiled and said, "This Saintess has made some money. I'll treat you to drinks. Are you coming?"

"I can't refuse such kindness, I really can't refuse!"

"Pah! Who said I couldn't refuse such hospitality? I was just saying it offhand, shameless!"

"Hey, we're practically family, right?"

"Are you coming to find me, or am I coming to find you?"

"Of course you came to find me! Don't I, a dignified Saintess, have any dignity? I must maintain my composure! If I'm discovered, what will become of my reputation?"

"Hehehe, does the Purple Mansion Demoness still have any face?"

"Get out of here!!!"

"Hmph, you got a bye in the competition this morning, but I still have an opponent. Although I'll most likely forfeit, I still have to go."

"Go to the restaurant and wait for me. I'll be there shortly."

"Okay~"

He hung up the phone with a smug smile, then tidied up and went out.

Our Saintess invited us for drinks...

Why not go?

Moreover, this is not just about drinking.

During this period of time, through constant cross-swapping, Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao have come to understand one thing: rather than saying that they are 'soul-crossing' each other, it would be more accurate to say that they are simply exchanging 'consciousnesses'.

After transmigrating, Lin Fan inherited everything from the ' Large Account ', including the power of his soul!

Apart from his consciousness, which belonged to Lin Fan, everything else belonged to Qi Zixiao.

For Divine Sense, he can directly use the Divine Sense that belongs to Qi Zixiao in the Void Refining Late Stage...

Qi Zixiao went to Earth, and the situation was almost the same; she could only use the Nascent Soul Realm Divine Sense that belonged to Lin Fan.

so...

At this moment, Lin Fan's, or rather Qi Zi·Fan's, soul is still incomplete and needs to be repaired, hence this bar...

You really have to drink it!

Of course, Qi Zixiao can drink when she comes back alone, but what's the point?

Drinking alone isn't fun at all! It's much more enjoyable to drink with someone!

Besides, we haven't even Saintess together yet!

Looking forward to it~!

He thought to himself with a smug grin, and then, following the 'navigation,' headed towards the Three Immortals Inn.

After reserving a private room and sending the room number to Qi Zixiao, Lin Fan waited while asking Sister A'Wu to create the "Encyclopedia of Cultivation".

About half an hour later, Qi Zixiao arrived.

Squeak.

As soon as the door closed, Qi Zixiao stretched, revealing her perfect figure.

"What's wrong, are you tired?"

Lin Fan asked with a smile.

"In front of others, one must naturally put on the airs of Saintess."

Qi Zixiao shook her head and chuckled, "It's not that I'm tired, it's just not comfortable enough."

"Understand!"

Lin Fan nodded, he could totally relate!

When Qi Zi·Fan appeared, wasn't that exactly how it was? She had to keep up a facade and pretend, otherwise she would be exposed.

Tired!

Qi Zixiao didn't need to pretend, but she still had to "put on airs".

This is similar to many young people who have to wear suits and ties to work, looking presentable... but are they really comfortable?

Not necessarily!

At least, as far as Lin Fan knows, many young people and office workers, the first thing they do when they get home is to take off their clothes, shoes and socks and change into pajamas.

The moment I changed into my pajamas, I felt completely comfortable.

At this moment, Qi Zixiao, who was avoiding the gaze of outsiders, was no different.

Have you ordered yet?

After sitting down opposite Lin Fan, Qi Zixiao appeared completely at ease, as if she were a seasoned veteran in the business...

Of course, he is indeed a 'veteran'.

This kind of "eating out" activity might be a first for Dan the Fatty and the others, but Qi Zixiao has been to many restaurants during her time on Earth, so she is naturally not unfamiliar with it.

"No, ladies first!"

"Go away, go away, that's nonsense."

Qi Zixiao rolled her eyes, looking like she wanted to laugh but couldn't, "Who's a lady? I'm still a young girl..."

"She's over twenty years old, why is she still acting like a young girl?"

The guy was taken aback, then grinned, revealing his big white teeth.

"Otherwise what?"

"Uh... a woman?"

"Dog Thief!"

Qi Zixiao immediately gritted her teeth.

"Cough!"

Lin Fan coughed lightly. "Hey Zixiao, don't you care about your image? All the formations haven't been activated yet. What if some idiot uses their Divine Sense to scan you and find out what you look like now? That wouldn't be good, would it?"

"Didn't you say that?!" Qi Zixiao gritted her teeth and said, "I'm the Purple Mansion Demoness, what image do I have left, huh?!"

"..."

"Let's order some food, hmm, let's order some food."

"Snort!"

Qi Zixiao didn't pursue the matter further. After giving this guy a disdainful look, she suddenly said, "Back in your country, I only tried crayfish with beer."

"But I've heard that peanuts go well with alcohol?"

"That's good, but are you sure they have peanuts here?"

"... It seems not."

"Isn't that settled then?"

While the two were bickering, Qi Zixiao spent some time ordering a few 'side dishes', and then ordered a full twenty jugs of Spiritual Wine worth one hundred million Spirit Stone.

When the waitresses at the restaurant heard what Qi Zixiao had ordered, they were stunned.

"Two..."

"Twenty jugs of wine?!"
