53: Chapter 53 Each with their own ulterior motives

"Of course it's me. What's wrong, Little Chaos?"

Xing Yaoyan could hear the fear in the Chaos Beast's tone.

"Your... your eyes..."

"Hm?"

Outside.

The white wolf's eyes opened quietly.

From Leng You's perspective, her originally golden pupils were now completely pale, as if her mind had been completely entranced.

"As expected of a Star Beast type I've never seen before; it actually required me to use Rank 3 spiritual power 'Soul Cleansing' to fully control it."

Leng You stroked the white wolf's head and found that she did not resist.

"But if you could still hold on, I'd be quite troubled. After all, I don't want to accidentally turn you into an idiot."

Just as he was talking to himself, the office door was suddenly knocked a few times.

"Hm?"

Leng You walked out of the dark room, his face full of displeasure, like a child whose playtime had been interrupted.

"Secretary Wu Ming, didn't I say I wasn't seeing anyone?!"

"Bu... but Mayor, he... he..."

"Why is Mayor Leng so unsympathetic... Can't I come and visit you?"

Before Secretary Wu Ming could finish his sentence outside the door, an old voice drifted in.

"Stinky monkey, I don't have time right now. If you want to see me, talk later!"

"Click~"

The door, which had originally been secured with a national-level security lock, just opened like that.

An old man in casual wear walked in leisurely with his hands behind his back.

"You..."

Looking at the old man before him who didn't take him seriously at all, the corners of Leng You's mouth twitched, and several veins bulged on his forehead.

"Mayor, I really couldn't stop him..."

Secretary Wu Ming's head poked out from behind the old man, his forehead covered in beads of sweat.

"It's none of your business now, go. If anyone else looks for me, just say I've gone on a business trip out of town."

Leng You rubbed his temples and waved his hand at his somewhat flustered secretary.

"Very well... Mayor."

Secretary Wu Ming quickly lowered his head, bowed, and backed away as if he had been granted an amnesty, leaving quickly.

After confirming that there was no one around, Leng You snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the room door closed instantly, and an invisible illusion array was activated inside the room to prevent eavesdropping.

"Stinky monkey, what do you want with me?"

Leng You's expression was somewhat grave.

"I've come to get a person from you, oh no, a beast."

"You want a Spirit Beast? Didn't I give you my access card? If you want something, just go to the warehouse and catch it."

Leng You said in a deep voice.

"A Spirit Beast? If it were for such a thing, would I have gone to such great lengths to come to your office?"

The old man wore a calm and composed smile, a glint of sharpness flashing in his slightly narrowed eyes.

"The beast I want is right here in your office."

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the office instantly became tense.

On the other side, Xing Yaoyan, who was pretending to be controlled, was looking at the two people talking outside the dark room with a bewildered expression.

She herself was also very puzzled. Isn't she just a Star Beast trying to survive and develop? Why do so many people want her?

And Leng You is one thing, but where did this old man come from...

"That won't do."

Leng You stared into the old man's eyes, and although his gaze was grave, he did not back down in the slightest.

"I can give you something in exchange~"

The old man took out a few jade bottles from who knows where.

"A Rank 5 Great Demon's Demonic Core, a Five-Mark Star Beast's Star Soul, a Rank 7 Demon King's essence blood..."

"See which one is suitable."

"Sun Wu, you've gone too far..."

An invisible Aura gradually emanated from the effeminate man's body.

"Too far? You imprisoned the Saintess of the Demon Race for no reason; who is the one who has really gone too far?"

The smile on the old man's face also vanished, and a massive Demonic Power instantly raged throughout the entire room.

"Sun Wu, you want to fight me here? Aren't you afraid that after killing me, you won't be able to leave yourself?!"

"Afraid?! We of the Yao Race have nothing to fear!"

The old man's oppressive feeling continued to climb.

"Fine, fine, fine, I won't fight you. But I want to tell you, this white wolf previously killed my good brother and made a mess of my secret laboratory!"

A cold sweat broke out on Leng You's forehead; he knew that the other party was not only stronger than him but also held many of his secrets.

"Brother? Hehe haha... You want to laugh me to death, Poison Fang..."

Sun Wu held his stomach and laughed, as if he had heard some huge joke.

"Every exploration team that goes to the Land of Destruction knows your 'Poison Fang' exploration team; except for you, everyone else is a Puppet whose soul you have cleansed."

"What? Have you developed feelings for a bunch of Puppets that should have died anyway?"

"Anyway, she caused me huge losses, I..."

"That's why I gave you a choice for compensation; otherwise, how could I be talking to you so amicably here..."

The wind generated by the massive Demonic Power fluctuations blew Sun Wu's casual shirt, causing it to flutter violently, and his Rank 6 Demonic Power was fully released.

But because he precisely controlled the Demonic Power to be concentrated within the room, and combined with the high Rank of the illusion array in Leng You's office, it did not attract the attention of the Security Bureau.

"Didn't we agree before we started working together? First come, first served, each relying on their own abilities!"

Leng You roared unwillingly.

"An agreement? Fine, I now declare the previous agreement void; I'm taking her away today, let's see how you plan to stop me!"

"Fine, fine, fine, you win, I surrender."

The effeminate man, who had originally been tough to the end, suddenly relaxed his Aura, raised his hands, and sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing these words, Sun Wu retracted his Demonic Power, and the office returned to normal.

Leng You opened the door to the dark room and gestured for the white wolf inside to come out.

"It's a pity you came too late; she has already been soul-cleansed by me and is already my Puppet."

To Leng You's surprise, Sun Wu did not show any emotional fluctuation regarding this, only saying indifferently:

"The King only gave the order for me to bring her back to the Kingdom of Myriad Demons; as for how she is now, we don't care."

"Tsk... sigh..."

Leng You spread his hands and made a gesture of "please do as you wish."

"Count yourself sensible; it seems our cooperation can continue happily."

The old man grabbed a pink metal cube from the air.

"Saintess, please bear with it, just make do with the travel cube in my hand. I'll let you out when we arrive."

Without waiting for any reaction from Xing Yaoyan, he used his Demonic Power to activate the cube in his hand.

After a flash of light, the white wolf's figure disappeared instantly.

"Alright, I'm happy today, so I'll give you the things in these bottles... See you later."

The smile returned to Sun Wu's face.

He tossed the few bottles in his hand toward Leng You, then waved, turned around, and walked out slowly.

After watching Sun Wu's figure completely disappear from view, Leng You licked his somewhat dry lips.

"It seems I've caught something of significant value..."

"Yao Race... Star Beast... Hehe..."
