How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 318: Fulfilling the Promise, Giving You a List

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Fulfilling the Promise, Giving You a List

The next day, when Lin Xiaosu woke up, it was already noon.

Stretching lazily, he felt a refreshing comfort throughout his body. He got up leisurely, washed up, ate the beef rice bowl that Ruolan had left in the thermal box, and strolled out of the Detective Agency...

"Sister Lan, is Brother Lin going to meet that foreign girl?" Zhou Xi withdrew his gaze from the glass door.

"Probably," Miao Ruolan replied. "She came across the sea, waited for him for over a month, so he really should meet her."

"Coming from Luoba State, a foreigner is naturally a bit unsettling... but admit it, this girl chose a method he must acknowledge by saving Zhou Mei’s life," Zhou Xi said.

Saving Zhou Mei’s life, in a sense, is a statement of position.

The Li Tian Clan still harbors malicious intent, wanting to destroy this stone tower, and the people of Nine Headed Snake would likely be pleased—as long as it’s an act of destruction against Daxia, they surely would take pleasure in it.

However, Catherine disrupted this action.

She stood on the side of Daxia Country.

For this reason, Lin Xiaosu should meet her.

He didn’t ride a bike or take a car; he crossed the city and went straight to Tashan Lake.

Arriving at the lakeside, he lifted his gaze, first looking at the summit of Tashan.

At the top of Tashan, there is a white house.

This is a newly completed building.

That is the Tashan Police Station.

And indeed, with the whole mountain lush and green, the pristine white house amidst it adds a touch of beauty.

At this time of year, Tashan Lake is also quite beautiful.

The lakeside wooden cabins, amidst the rippling green water, exude a bit of elegance.

The bustling sounds of the modern city seemed far away from here.

Lin Xiaosu let his gaze drift over a dozen small cabins, settling on one of them.

In this cabin sat a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreign girl. Despite her appearance, she was dressed in Hanfu, sitting under the tree shade sipping tea, much like a fairy queen from a Western medieval fantasy film.

Catherine...

Oh no!

Saintess Qian Ling lazily lifted her gaze, gazing absent-mindedly at the shimmering waves of Tashan Lake before her.

Her consciousness seemed to drift far, far away to another world.

Back at the foot of Spirit Mountain.

Back then the Spirit Lake looked like this too.

From the lake alone, it was the same red blossoms and green willows, the clear lake surface.

However, only the lake surface had three parts similarity.

Not including the lakeside.

The lakeside of Spirit Lake of old had countless exotic Spirit Realm flowers, magical, agile Spirit Realm Exotic Beasts, and countless clansmen coming and going.

And today’s lakeside is modernized, with incessant cars, and Daxia citizens who look drastically different from her appearance, giving her curious glances.

Time, truly terrifying.

It can easily erase so many traces.

It can turn any Heavenly Pride into a marginal figure of the ordinary world.

Is there anything similar in this world?

Even a single one!

This might be the greatest confusion in her heart now...

Suddenly, her gaze lifted, staring at the grass outside the cabin.

A man walked gracefully to the front of the cabin.

Lin Xiaosu!

He’s finally back!

Saintess Qian Ling took a gentle breath, slowly revealing a smile...

The wooden door creaked open and closed again.

Lin Xiaosu arrived before her, "Catherine, welcome back to Daxia."

Saintess Qian Ling extended her hand, lightly shaking his, "I’ve been here over a month!"

"Sorry, I happened to be out of town, just got back yesterday, and upon hearing you came from afar and also invested in revitalizing Tashan Lake real estate, I rushed over earlier today."

"Earlier?" Saintess Qian Ling looked at the sky, "Is today’s sky still early?"

"Sorry, just got up! For me, waking up less than an hour ago is still ’early’..."

Saintess Qian Ling laughed, "Rules are made by the person, I like this personality... Let’s communicate in Chinese then!"

"Okay!"

"Please sit!"

These two words were spoken in Chinese.

Lin Xiaosu sat down.

"This is your Daxia tea, specifically the local tea from Fengcheng County, Xianglu Yunwu." Saintess Qian Ling lifted the teapot, pouring him a cup.

"When I wasn’t here, you were already drinking this Xianglu Yunwu," Lin Xiaosu said lifting his cup.

"I’ve always liked tea!" Saintess Qian Ling smiled slightly, "Isn’t it a bit strange?"

"Nothing strange about it; with so many people, there are diverse preferences. Some in Daxia yearn for Western lifestyles, naturally there are those in the West seeking Daxia’s way of life."

"Don’t you want to ask why I came this time?" Saintess Qian Ling lifted her own cup.

Lin Xiaosu smiled, "Go ahead!"

"This time I came because of our previous agreement!" Saintess Qian Ling said, "I promised to cooperate with you, to eradicate Nine Headed Snake!"

Lin Xiaosu’s heart suddenly jolted, his cup paused at his lips.

The previous agreement.

Catherine’s agreement back then was: if she could obtain the relic of Saintess Qian Ling, then she, representing the Narans Family, would become Lin Xiaosu’s informant in Luoba State, jointly targeting Nine Headed Snake.

This agreement hit Lin Xiaosu’s psychological defense line.

Just with this agreement, he must cooperate with her.

Why?

He knew that having the support of a millennia-old family in Luoba State would be highly advantageous both for Qianlong and for himself.

With such a supreme bargaining chip, he promised to work with Catherine.

At that time, he regarded Catherine as a "partner," as an instrument to break the stalemate.

But later on, the fundamental facts deviated.

When Catherine gave him a mask, he knew the ideal was abundant, reality often "skinny"—Catherine had absolutely no genuine intention to cooperate; her visit wasn’t just for the Spirit Clan relic, she also wanted his life.

In this situation, he completely forgot their original agreement.

With the basis deviated, how could he expect her to fulfill their initial agreement?

Yet today, she proactively mentioned this agreement!

Saintess Qian Ling said, "Don’t hold too much hope. The higher-ups of Nine Headed Snake are extremely secretive; I can’t present their high-level list to you just yet. What I’ve brought you are only some domestic lists."

Her hand gently lifted, handing a piece of paper to Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu took it, glancing over.

There were over thirty names, followed by their current roles.

Half were company heads, while four or five were scientists, and four were officials, with quite high ranks...

"Thanks!" Lin Xiaosu pocketed the paper, lifting his gaze.

"This was simply our initial agreement, no thanks needed," Saintess Qian Ling replied with a slight smile.

"I just got back yesterday; today I have some tasks to complete. In a few days, I’ll come over to chat with you again," Lin Xiaosu announced, standing up.

"Alright!"

Lin Xiaosu left the lakeside of Tashan. Despite seeming leisurely, he vanished from Saintess Qian Ling’s sight within a few steps.

Saintess Qian Ling gently exhaled, as if relieved.

Indeed, she had a mental knot that had almost become a heart demon over the past few months.

She is an Ancient Great Power.

Her situation is very unique.

As an Ancient Great Power with powers connecting heaven and earth, coming to an End of Dharma Era, her divine skills couldn’t penetrate; her great prowess couldn’t manifest; her sole glimpse of opportunity lay within him.

The strand of Life Law aura born from his Blood Tower.

Chasing this slim chance, she left Luoba State, came to his side.

She imagined countless scenarios of encounter, eventually all seemed to converge into one: simple and blunt four words: have that with him!

Why, though?

Simple logic!

She needed to capture this profundity under his True Qi stimulation.

And he, liked... or was accustomed to using True Qi to stimulate a certain part of her, and indeed, only that part had the deepest insight into Life Law, why? Life passage, naturally marked with life’s imprint.

But could that place endure stimulation?

Going back and forth, who could withstand it?

Moreover, the most crucial point is that pure stimulation, with short time and divergent thoughts, truly makes it difficult to sense anything significant; the most effective plan might be to have that with him, with him being creative at the top, while she takes it all below, lasting longer, intense stimulation; once that would surpass hundred rounds of scratching outside the boot.
