We've Successfully Infiltrated the Enemy's Ranks
Tang Ruowei, Li Jinyao, and two others arrived at the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable Temple in the north of the city, where they found Bai Qiuran waiting for them outside the Side Hall the Breast Enhancement Bodhisattva was enshrined.
"Master."
The four walked over, Tang Ruowei asked, "Why did you call us here?"
Did you have any successes this afternoon?
Bai Qiuran did not answer Tang Ruowei's question, but instead asked a question in return.
Uh... this.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ruowei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she scratched her face without saying a word.
Judging from her expression, her meaning was self-evident—she hadn't managed to get any of them.
"I successfully tricked... no, I successfully got two couples to join the ranks of believers in the Matchmaking Celestial Maiden."
Li Jinyao grinned and made a peace sign.
Bai Qiuran automatically bypassed Li Xianjing, who seemed hesitant to speak, and looked at Bai Li.
Fifteen.
Bai Li made a hand gesture.
"You're the best, aren't you?"
Bai Qiuran gave him a thumbs up.
"And what about Master?"
Tang Ruowei asked, somewhat unconvinced.
The Deity like the Breast Enhancement Bodhisattva is quite sensitive, both in terms of its honorific name and the direction of its protection. Tang Ruowei, after all, was born Princess and was very well-mannered. She and Bai Qiuran were too familiar with each other, so it didn't matter if they bickered, cursed, and poked at each other's wounds. But to ask her to preach to her own Consciousness Demon was too much to ask of her.
As for proselytizing, Bai Li and Li Jinyao said she was nothing special, but she also knew Bai Qiuran. Compared to her, her mentor was even less eloquent, and seeing Bai Qiuran's smug look now, she felt somewhat resentful.
I don't have much either.
Bai Qiuran shook her head and held up two fingers.
"Half plus half plus one equals two, but I'm confident that after tonight I can turn those two halves into one."
"Hmph, I have to admit, you're stronger now."
Tang Ruowei crossed her arms and said, "But what are you so smug about? Sister Li and Second Junior Brother haven't even said anything yet."
"That one in there is the follower I brought for you."
Bai Qiuran towards the Side Hall where the Breast Enhancement Bodhisattva was enshrined.
"She was previously a Blood's Delight Sect and a follower of the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon."
Upon hearing this, the four quickly looked into the doorway. Sure enough, there was a beautiful woman inside, kneeling on a prayer mat in front of God Statue of Breast Enhancement Bodhisattva with her eyes closed and hands clasped together, praying incessantly.
Her clothes were disheveled. Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei, who lived in the Hehuan Sect for a long time, could easily tell that the clothes were originally quite revealing. However, the woman had now pulled her collar up completely, properly covering up the parts that shouldn't be exposed.
"Oh my!"
Bai Li exclaimed in surprise, "You turned them to your side? Master, you're amazing!"
"Fuck."
Tang Ruowei shook her head vigorously, saying, "I don't believe it, this must be a hallucination!"
"How did Senior Qiuran manage to do that?"
Even the Little Demoness asked curiously.
"Of course, we should persuade people with reason."
Bai Qiuran her hands on her hips and said.
"Persuade with reason?"
Tang Ruowei thought for a moment.
"Fallacious reasoning?"
"Til your head!"
Bai Qiuran patted the girl on the head, then said proudly, "I first used physical methods to break down her defenses, and then I persuaded her with reason and emotion, bringing her here."
"Physics is alright..."
Bai Li looked at the woman and noticed that there were indeed some bruises around her eyes. He clicked his tongue in surprise and then asked, "Did Master find out any information about the Blood's Delight Sect?"
"Of course I asked. They came here to cause trouble this time, and since they didn't have a base of operations and didn't know each other's identities, she told me the code for communication."
Bai Qiuran smiled at Bai Li and said, "With the code, we can do many things."
"Indeed, we can learn about their actions in advance and manipulate them, misleading them into our trap."
Bai Li nodded.
"Misleading? Why mislead?"
But Bai Qiuran looked at Bai Li with a puzzled expression.
Why must we kill them all?
"So, what does Master mean...?"
"Actually, after a long and pleasant conversation with this... this prodigal daughter, I discovered that within the Blood's Delight Sect, there are many people misled and seduced by the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon, many who are frustrated and unfulfilled, and most importantly, a great many who are pursuing something that the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon cannot provide, but which we can."
Bai Qiuran shook her finger and said, "These are all lost sheep, waiting for us to save them..."
"Infiltrate the enemy's ranks..."
Bai Li seemed to be deep in thought.
"Well, it's time to test your abilities."
Bai Qiuran smiled at him and asked, "Are you confident?"
"Heh, that's my specialty."
Bai Li said confidently, "Back during the battle between gods and humans, I used this tactic quite a few times against the races under the command of the Heavenly Gods, and even against the Heavenly Gods."
As night falls, the streets of Tu Province are still bustling with people, and the light from various lanterns and candles illuminates this once peaceful town.
However, it was nighttime after all, and in this era, even the brightest City always have dark and gloomy places.
Two vendors, who looked like brothers, had just finished packing up their noodle stall. They piled various bowls, chopsticks, tables, chairs, and noodle-cooking utensils onto their carts or carried them on shoulder poles, and headed towards the residential area.
The areas where the people of Tu Province live in concentrated numbers are some of the few dark corners in the Tu Province City. Only patrol officers and night watchmen pass through those streets every hour.
The two brothers arrived at a crossroads where a main street and a side street intersected. They turned left and walked deeper into the side street. After walking a few steps, the brothers suddenly noticed a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old leaning against the door of a house on the street, idly licking a candied hawthorn in his hand.
The two men exchanged a glance, then walked over to the little boy and asked, "Little one, it's so dark, why are you still wandering around outside? Aren't your family worried?"
"I'm not scared, and my family isn't worried either."
The little boy replied, "My family is all over the world, and I am protected by True God."
The two brothers exchanged a glance, and then the slightly older man tentatively asked, "Blood Hatred Opens Heaven and Earth."
"Delight Blesses Without Limit."
The little boy answered immediately.
"He's a teammate."
The two men breathed a sigh of relief, and then the younger one asked curiously, "We didn't expect to find someone as young as you among our siblings."
"Don't judge a person's age by their appearance, brother."
The little boy said with maturity, "Besides, under God's command, we are all brothers and sisters, regardless of gender or age, right?"
"You mean it."
The older man nodded, then glanced warily to his left and right before whispering to the little boy, "It's not safe here. Come with us and we'll talk."
"Good."
After saying that, the two of them, along with the little boy, disappeared naturally into the depths of the street.
After they disappeared, at a nearby late-night food stall, Bai Qiuran also raised her glass and lightly clinked it against Li Jinyao's.
"What's this?"
The Little Demoness took a sip of her drink and chuckled, "The superweapon has been Subordinates?"
"That's the Bai Li-Model Humanoid Mind-Control Device."
Bai Qiuran also laughed and said, "Alright, now that he's infiltrated, we can leave Blood's Delight to him without any problem. As for us, let's continue to find those heroes who were defeated in duels and lure them into the arms of Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable and Other Gods."
