Xiao Tian already had a plan for how to handle Chen Duo's situation.
With Ma Xianhong's capture, the battle at Biyou Village officially came to an end. Xiao Tian and the others traveled to the headquarters of Nadutong Company in the company's vehicle, while Ma Xianhong and the others were specially escorted to a designated location by company personnel.
Inside the car, Zhang Chulan curiously looked Chen Duo up and down.
The Chen Duo of today is completely different from the Chen Duo we met before. She is ethereal and otherworldly, making it impossible to imagine that she is a dangerous person covered in Primordial Gu Poison.
" Old Xiao, so Chen Duo's Primordial Gu Poison is completely gone now?" Zhang Chulan asked.
"No, not at all. The Primordial Gu Poison is actually bound to Chen Duo. If the Primordial Gu Poison is gone, Chen Duo's life will also come to an end. Now Chen Duo can control the Primordial Gu Poison freely, so she is still a dangerous person for you. As long as you don't anger her, it's fine." Xiao Tian chuckled and explained.
Chen Duo had no expression on her face, holding her phone and browsing clothes on a shopping app.
"This girl seems even more terrifying than when we first met." Xiao Zizai sized up Chen Duo, judging based on his powerful and keen intuition.
"I'm curious, Xiao Zhan, how did you help Chen Duo control the Primordial Gu? You know, the Dark Fortress was a gathering place for many scientists in biology and genetics, researchers of ancient studies, and Grandmaster of folk supernatural arts, among others. They tried all sorts of methods, but none of them could deal with the Primordial Gu," Black Pipe said, frowning.
"Well, it's not difficult at all. Just fight fire with fire."
"No way, that's it?" Black Pipe looked incredulous.
"Don't believe me if you don't want to." Xiao Tian scoffed.
Black Pipe didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, once they got to headquarters, the people who were troubled by Chen Duo's situation were the higher-ups. He was just curious about Chen Duo's fate, but he didn't really care.
"Brother Xiao, can Chen Duo really control the Primordial Gu Poison permanently?"
Old Meng stared at Xiao Tian, a hint of worry in his heart.
"Of course you can. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
After a long while, their car arrived at the Nadutong Company, where they were greeted by the heads of various regions.
Xiao Zizai, Comrade Zhenqiu, and Old Meng left with their respective supervisors, while Xiao Tian took Chen Duo directly to find Director Zhao Fangrui.
Besides Zhao Fangrui, there were two other directors in the office: Bi Youlong and Huang Boren.
" Little Xiao is here. Please have a seat."
The two directors also greeted Xiao Tian. Currently, Xiao Tian's position is comparable to that of a director, even higher than that of the heads of the company's various regions, so the two directors could not afford to treat him casually or unfriendly.
" Chen Duo has changed a lot. Now that Little Xiao has brought her here, Old Bi and Old Huang are also here, let's decide on the verdict for Chen Duo again," Zhao Fangrui said with a smile.
Bi Youlong stared at Xiao Tian and asked with a smile, " Little Xiao, I wonder if Chen Duo is currently able to freely control the Primordial Gu?"
Xiao Tian gestured to Chen Duo, who was standing to the side, to let her perform.
Chen Duo couldn't understand Xiao Tian's gaze and stood there stunned.
"Do you still want to wear your new clothes?" Xiao Tian muttered.
Chen Duo understood. She raised her fair wrist, and black Primordial Gu swirled between her hands, transforming into a dragon-python that enveloped the sofa on the left.
Zhao Fangrui and his two companions felt a chill run down their spines as the genuine leather sofa, worth 50,000 yuan, instantly turned into a puddle of liquid emitting a foul odor.
The Primordial Gu Poison returned, Chen Duo took out her phone to continue browsing the app.
" Director Zhao, both directors, here's the situation: I, Xiao Tian, can guarantee with my life that Chen Duo can completely control the Primordial Gu Poison. Furthermore, Chen Duo will become a member of my Dragon Guard."
Xiao Tian chuckled, his gaze sweeping over the three of them.
"Not wearing protective clothing and having complete control over your own life, Little Xiao, I really don't know how you did it." Zhao Fangrui frowned.
" Little Xiao, could you tell me what happened?" Huang Boren asked.
They knew how difficult Chen Duo's Primordial Gu Poison was to deal with. If they knew exactly what method Xiao Tian used, it would be a huge bargaining chip for the Evolver World and for the authorities, and it would also be a major breakthrough for modern medicine.
"Hehehe, actually the method is quite simple. I wonder if the three of you have ever heard of ' Spirit Binding and General Dispatch '?" Xiao Tian smiled.
"Of course! Isn't Spirit Binding and General Dispatch One of the Eight Impure Techniques? What's the connection between Primordial Gu and this?" Zhao Fangrui asked in surprise.
"Of course there is a connection. To be honest, I can gradually Spirit Binding and General Dispatch..." As he spoke, Xiao Tian used his ability to Spirit Binding and General Dispatch, his black aura emanating from him, mysterious and eerie, and the temperature in the air-conditioned room instantly dropped even lower.
With a shadowy presence, Xiao Tian, within the Divine Might Space, captured the souls of some old, dead soul beasts raised by Douluo Bibi Dong, the farm owner.
Zhao Fangrui and the other two, seeing the strange shadows resembling a three-eyed lion, a dragon, and Feng Huang appearing around Xiao Tian, judged that it seemed to be a true Spirit Binding and General Dispatch.
Zhao Fangrui and the others knew that Xiao Tian had been in contact with Feng Zhenghao, but they did not expect that Xiao Tian would have mastered the Spirit Binding and General Dispatch.
"Hehehe... The Primordial Gu is actually alive. It can be understood as Chen Duo's companion life, but it has no consciousness and relies on instinct to destroy, devour, and erode everything outside Chen Duo's body. Previously, it was just blocked by the isolation protective suit."
"After learning more about Chen Duo's situation, I tried using my ability to Spirit Binding and General Dispatch and found it to be completely effective. I successfully used the ability to control spirits to subdue the Primordial Gu..."
As he spoke, in order to cover up his deception, a complex, irregularly shaped black liquid shadow appeared around Xiao Tian, emitting an aura similar to that of Primordial Gu.
"This works too!" Zhao Fangrui, Bi Youlong, and Huang Boren were astonished.
"If we eliminate the Primordial Gu, Chen Duo will die. With Chen Duo dead, the Primordial Gu will also disappear. Therefore, Chen Duo's life is now in your control, Little Xiao."
"You could say that. Anyway, Chen Duo has now further refined the Primordial Gu Poison into a pill, and can now perfectly utilize this ability," Xiao Tian chuckled.
"But that doesn't make sense either. If the Primordial Gu's so-called consciousness and spirit were Spirit Binding and General Dispatch by you, then it's a kind of death. Why is Chen Duo alright? Logically speaking, the Gu poison in her body should have disappeared by now." Bi Youlong was puzzled.
Xiao Tian cursed inwardly, "Why is this old guy thinking so much?!"
" Old Bi, as I just mentioned, the Primordial Gu is a special kind of symbiotic life form. Its ability to Spirit Binding and General Dispatch doesn't truly kill a living being. If you watched the battle between Feng Xingtong and Wang Bing at the Luotian Grand Jiao, you wouldn't have trouble noticing some things."
Xiao Tian continued his deception, "You could say that although I controlled the spirit of the Primordial Gu with my ability to Spirit Binding and General Dispatch, it is still Chen Duo's symbiotic life. As long as it doesn't disappear, the Gu poison in Chen Duo's body won't disappear. In short, it's a bit complicated, but you can just understand it in a simple way."
"Ahem, since that's the case, I'm relieved. Old Bi, Old Huang, what about you guys?" Zhao Fangrui asked.
"Then I have no objection. Little Xiao's character is beyond question. Since Chen Duo wants to join the Dragon Guard, it's just that Liao Zhong from the South China Division was implicated by her. It wouldn't be fair to just let her off the hook and give the brothers in the South China Division an explanation." Bi Youlong frowned.
" Old Bi is right."
"Damn it!" Xiao Tian's smile remained unchanged on the surface, but he was speechless inside.
"Here's what we'll do. Because of Liao Zhong's death, the new leader of the South China region is currently unable to suppress the situation there. Let Chen Duo go and resolve the rebellion there. For the next two years, she will unconditionally assist all other regions in handling difficult tasks, and she will not receive any salary," Zhao Fangrui said.
"Alright, that's settled." Xiao Tian smiled, his eyes sweeping over Bi Youlong and Huang Boren as if in a threat.
"I think it's a good idea." Bi Youlong nodded.
"I think it's OK." Huang Boren clapped, cold sweat beginning to appear on his forehead, feeling quite pressured by Xiao Tian's gaze.
Killing Chen Duo is not Huang Boren. Bi Youlong believes it's the best solution, since a living and useful Chen Duo is the only valuable one.
" Chen Duo, let's go shopping first. We can buy some clothes. Online shopping is cheaper, but it's still better to pick out clothes in person."
"Mmm." Chen Duo obediently let Xiao Tian hold her hand, and they left the office together.
" Old Zhao, why didn't I think Spirit Binding and General Dispatch this ability before?" Bi Youlong frowned.
Zhao Fangrui narrowed his eyes and smiled, " The Spirit Binding and General Dispatch, one of the Eight Impure Techniques, has too great an influence in the Evolver World. Next time, World Society for help in some situations."
Bi Youlong and Huang Boren nodded, clearly feeling that the World Society's leader Feng Zhenghao, decisively Spirit Binding and General Dispatch to Xiao Tian. This act of goodwill clearly indicated that the World Society would be on the same side as Xiao Tian in the future. They thought about the situation in the capital and the connections between Number Two and Number One.
Inside the mall, Chen Duo wore a genuinely joyful smile as she went in and out of the fitting rooms, trying on various styles of dresses.
"Young man, your girlfriend has a great figure, and every outfit suits her perfectly. The one you just saw was the last one in our store," the pretty saleswoman said with a helpless expression.
"In that case, let's wrap up everything that my Duoduo tried on earlier."
"Handsome, really? A total of 139 items, the most expensive is 58,000, and there are about 30 items over 10,000..."
"Swipe your card."
Afterwards, the store manager excitedly said, "Don't worry, handsome, we'll arrange delivery as soon as possible and send the clothes you bought for your girlfriend to the designated location."
"Um."
Afterwards, Xiao Tian took Chen Duo to the video game arcade, food court, and snack street, where they accumulated a lot of Achievement Points.
Chen Duo was extremely happy for most of the day.
As night deepened, at the headquarters of Nadutong Company, regarding Biyou Village, Director Zhao, Old Bi, Old Huang, and others decided to use a special machine to detect lies in order to determine whether anyone was still practicing the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements technique.
Temporary workers from various regions, such as Feng Baobao, are also on the list.
"This is a bit tricky. What if they ask us random questions and some of Sister Bao'er's secrets are exposed?" Zhang Chulan frowned.
Xu San Xu Si frowned, deep in thought about a solution.
"I'm going to find Old Zhao, and I'll call the old man while I'm at it." Xu Si stubbed out his cigarette, put his hands in his pockets, and left.
When Xu Si entered Zhao Fangrui's office, he only saw two other people inside.
Xiao Tian and Chen Duo.
" Xiao Si, come here, what's the matter? Just say it." Zhao Fangrui said with a slight smile, his eyes narrowed.
" Old Zhao, regarding the issue of temporary workers conducting inspections, I think..."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it in a bit," Xiao Tian chuckled.
Xu Si was taken aback and looked at Director Zhao, Director Zhao smiled and nodded.
"Then there's no problem."
