Chu Mo now had an urge to slap Burns to death.
bother!
Following Burns in were his female companion and three strikingly different handsome young men, whom he had somehow found.
As soon as the handsome young men entered, they all bowed in unison and greeted each other sweetly, "Hello, President Chu!"
Chu Mo's face darkened. "..."
Oh no! I have a feeling I'll have to sleep on the floor tonight.
Burns, his face full of obsequiousness, exclaimed, "Chu! Where did you find this beauty beside you?! She's absolutely gorgeous! Give her to me! I'll give you these in exchange. How about it?!"
" A-Mo, he's so noisy."
Ji Nanshu lifted her head from Chu Mo's embrace, her beautiful eyes filled with impatience.
Chu Mo patted Ji Nanshu on the back and coldly spat out a single word at Burns: "Do you want to die?"
Kaisi quietly tugged at Burns ' sleeve, and he finally said, "Alright, alright, then you should at least tell me the beauty's name, right?"
Seeing that Chu Mo ignored him completely, Burns had no choice but to shut his mouth and sit quietly to the side.
But this quiet lasted only a few minutes. As the special dinner began, Burns started chattering and winking again. "Chu! Let me tell you, this special dinner is actually an auction, with lots of amazing things! If you can think of it, you can get it here!"
nice one?
Ji Nanshu didn't know if it was good stuff or not, but... this ancient castle was definitely not a good place.
The air was thick with yin energy and blood energy; no one knew how many people had died.
Seeing that neither of them paid him any attention, Burns was a little discouraged. After silently cheering himself up, he continued, "But the most fun part is still the third auction; that's where the real show begins. Unfortunately, this is my first time participating..."
Ji Nanshu glanced at Burns and said, "You should be glad it's your first time."
Burns was bewildered. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Ji Nanshu glanced at Chu Mo, and seeing Chu Mo nod slightly, he continued, "Do you know what I saw outside?"
"The sky was filled with yin energy and blood-red light, and... the souls of those who died unjustly."
Burns, a foreigner, clearly didn't understand what yin energy or blood energy were, but he understood the word "soul," so he asked, "Um... you mean there are dead people here?!"
"Hmm, not exactly stupid." Ji Nanshu continued, staring at the items being auctioned below, "Did you bring bodyguards? If so, have them come in and protect you."
"Otherwise, there might be bloodshed..."
Burns: "What... what is a bloody disaster?"
Chu Mo threatened, "You might die."
Burns exclaimed in horror, "?!"
No way! He finally got into this auction to see all the novelties, how could this possibly lead to someone's death?!
"I... I... I'm going to die?! Don't scare me!"
"Call your bodyguard. A-Mo, let's go for a walk," Ji Nanshu said.
"Good."
Burns pouted, wanting to follow, but it felt like he'd die. But if he didn't follow, his damned curiosity wouldn't allow it!
Ji Nanshu raised his hand and cast a Aura-Concealing Talisman on the two of them, then pretended to be innocent and begged Chu Mo to show him around the ancient castle.
Chu Mo smiled helplessly, tapped Ji Nanshu's nose, and then led Ji Nanshu to stroll around the ancient castle.
" A-Mo, we need to go to the back." Ji Nanshu glanced around the area. "The stench of blood is very strong in the back."
Chu Mo nodded, hoisted Ji Nanshu onto his shoulder, and headed towards the backyard with a lecherous look on his face.
Ji Nanshu blinked. " A-Mo... your acting is really good! When are you going to take me to see you act?"
"Want to go?" Chu Mo ruffled Ji Nanshu's hair with his other hand. "I'll have Yun Sheng pick out the scripts that have been submitted recently. If there's a good one, I'll take you there."
Okay~
There were no bodyguards in the backyard; it looked like an ordinary back garden, but there was a beautiful European-style gazebo covered with pink roses.
"The pavilion is where the yin energy is heaviest."
Chu Mo carried the person to the pavilion, and as soon as they entered, he impatiently pressed the person against a pillar.
"Sweetie, what did you find?"
Ji Nanshu pressed against Chu Mo's chest. "You said you came to Country M on business, but you still haven't told me what it is."
"It's a mission..."
"Is it related to this place?"
"Well, I didn't originally plan to have you come, but I discovered something strange. You mentioned before that if we discovered the Blood God Cult, you should be called in. So I reported it to my superiors."
Ji Nanshu's eyes lit up, and he cupped Chu Mo's face and gave him a quick kiss. " A-Mo, you're so good!"
What he hates most is making so-called "for his own good" sacrifices behind his back. He doesn't like it, and... doesn't need it.
"Sweetie, you seem to have found the entrance. It should be down below."
"Hmm? The mechanism to open the door..."
"Sweetie, concentrate." Chu Mo leaned close to Ji Nanshu's neck. "Someone's coming."
"Yes, I can feel it." Ji Nanshu tilted her head back, hugged Chu Mo's neck, and looked completely absorbed in the moment.
Within seconds, several hurried footsteps were heard approaching, followed by someone angrily shouting, "Who gave you permission to come here?! Get out of here right now!"
Ji Nanshu snorted coldly, shaking off Chu Mo's hand, looking extremely angry. "A dilapidated pavilion! Who wants to come here! My lord, make them apologize to me!"
After saying that, Ji Nanshu plopped down on the stool, looking like he wouldn't leave until he apologized.
Chu Mo: "Apologize to him."
The lead Chinese bodyguard clenched his fists, and after a moment, he said through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry! Please leave!"
Damn it, if it weren't for... never mind, I'd just have to bear with it and sacrifice all of them later!
"Hmph! A bunch of lousy laborers!" Ji Nanshu stood up, took Chu Mo's hand, and said, "My lord, let's go!"
"Um."
After the two left, the leading Chinese bodyguard's eyes flickered, and he dialed a number. "Master, there were rats... Hmm, chased them away, Chu Mo... Yes, ahead of time?! Yes, I understand!!"
