368: Dark Night

The four of them entered the small space together.

The Enlightenment Tea was still nearly two meters tall, but its leaves were densely packed.

Zhang Xiaoli said, "I've counted carefully; there are exactly 638 leaves here."

Kong Qingshu sighed, "The Enlightenment Tea that An Qian cultivated is truly a heaven-defying treasure. This represents over six hundred peerless masters."

An Qian, however, looked at Qin Shilei with a half-smile, "I can't take all the credit for this. If it weren't for my husband's miraculous touch, even if I had cultivated this Enlightenment Tea, we probably wouldn't have been able to drink it for a year."

"Haha," Qin Shilei chuckled, "As your husband, of course I have to have some extraordinary abilities."

He paused, then continued, "We also need to gradually use these Enlightenment Teas. Only when they transform into everyone's strength do they become a true treasure."

The group then discussed how to use these Enlightenment Teas to enhance the Qin An Royal Mansion's strength.

First, continue exchanging them for top-grade treasures with others.

Second, issue more high-merit missions so that everyone can accumulate enough merit faster to exchange for Enlightenment Tea.

Third, prepare to establish a special operations force. The number of people doesn't need to be too many, and loyalty is the primary requirement.

In fact, Qin Shilei had this idea for the third point as early as when he annihilated the Tang Family in Junhai City, and he began training relevant members after returning from Junhai City.

However, as Qin Shilei spoke, his hands became restless, causing the three women to giggle continuously.

"Qin Dage, let's go swimming," Zhang Xiaoli suddenly suggested.

"Alright, then you all go back and change into your swimsuits quickly," Qin Shilei naturally agreed with both hands.

But when the three of them came out after changing, Qin Shilei was completely dumbfounded.

It was An Qian and two identical Kong Qingshus who emerged.

The Kong Qingshu on the left giggled, "Shi Lei, today we're going to play a game of real and fake Kong Qingshu. Guess correctly and there's a prize."

The Kong Qingshu on the right also giggled, "If you guess wrong, this Faceless Mask will be confiscated, lest you use it for mischief."

Qin Shilei immediately used his Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple to look at the two, but he couldn't discern which was real.

The Faceless Mask truly lived up to its reputation as an orange treasure; it even the Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple couldn't see through it.

Perhaps afraid of being exposed by habitual movements, neither of the two Kong Qingshus made any extra movements, just smilingly looking at Qin Shilei.

"You little rascals, you think I can't handle you?"

With a smirk, Qin Shilei extended his nimble hands towards the two women.

"Giggles, stop it, it tickles!" The Kong Qingshu on the left was the first to burst into laughter.

"You are Zhang Xiaoli," Qin Shilei said with certainty, pointing at the Kong Qingshu on the left.

"That doesn't count! Let's play again. You're not allowed to use your hands; you can only use your eyes," Zhang Xiaoli immediately protested.

After speaking, she pulled An Qian and walked back into the bamboo house behind them.

Soon, two identical An Qians walked out again.

"Husband, let our twin sisters serve you tonight."

The two An Qians said in unison.

Qin Shilei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly wrapped his arms around them, carrying the two women into the bamboo house.

Kong Qingshu, standing aside, gave a wry smile and also walked into the bamboo house.

"Stop! You have to guess correctly first, then we'll serve you together. Otherwise, you're not allowed to climb into our bed."

"What's so difficult about that? You are An Qian."

"How did you know?"

"Yeah, An Qian even specifically learned to talk like me."

"Haha, your husband here has a pair of Golden Crystal Fiery Eyes; how can such petty tricks stump me?"

"Don't keep us in suspense, tell us quickly."

"Although the Faceless Mask makes you look identical, and you both intentionally learned to speak like each other, some subtle movements and expressions still differ."

"Stop, let Zhang Xiaoli take off her mask first. It always feels a bit awkward like this."

"Hehe, this is pretty good. Let me thoroughly explore whether the Faceless Mask can truly transform someone from the inside out into another person."

"You scoundrel, I think you're just thinking about the beauty of twins."

"Hehe, this Faceless Mask is quite good; it can occasionally add some fun to our intimacy."

A few hours later, the four of them lay together on a large bed.

"My wives, it's hard to guarantee that a divine artifact similar to the Faceless Mask won't appear again in the future. We should agree on a secret code between us as husband and wife, so outsiders don't take advantage."

"Although we can recognize you, husband, from some habitual movements, agreeing on a secret code is still a good idea."

"Then from now on, when we want to be intimate, you must first say, 'My clothes grow loose, but I regret it not,' and I will respond with, 'For her, I waste away.'"

"Okay, then if you're not very sure of our identities, do you also have to say this secret code?"

"Giggles, Sister Qingshu, you're worrying for nothing. I think husband would definitely be eager for someone to impersonate us. For such a good thing delivered to his doorstep, he would surely pretend to be oblivious and completely devour the other party."

"Don't talk nonsense, am I that kind of person? A man out in the world must also protect himself well!"

As they spoke, they drifted off to sleep.

What Qin Shilei didn't expect was that the secret code he spontaneously agreed upon that night would truly foil a demonic conspiracy in the near future.

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

Qin Shilei was awakened by the Telepathic Talisman placed by his bedside.

After inputting his vital energy, Shen Feixue's voice came from within: "My King, according to reports from our scouts, Buduolong is about to attack our Aya City. Should we counterattack and take their city?"

"Those Indians are courting death," Qin Shilei said coldly, "Don't rush into action. I will send Night to help you."

After lunch, Qin Shilei walked towards the special operations force's camp.

This special operations force was named Night.

Night currently had only five hundred members.

Their commander was Mu Ziping, Qin Shilei's former adjutant.

One-third of the team were warriors, one-third were espers, and one-third were archers and various skilled individuals with special abilities.

These individuals were not only chosen for their integrity, but Qin Shilei also specifically invited experts to provide them with continuous ideological education, strengthening their loyalty to him and the Qin An Royal Mansion.

Currently, the cultivation of this group had reached the level of Silver Eight or Nine Stars.

When they all drink the Enlightenment Tea, they will surely become a powerful Deterrence in Qin Shilei's hands, capable of shaking Blue Star.

As soon as Qin Shilei walked into the camp, Mu Ziping immediately ordered his subordinates, "Salute!"

The five hundred members snapped to attention, giving a standard military salute.

Qin Shilei scanned the crowd, "You are the elites chosen from millions of people, and you have received cultivation from the Qin An Royal Mansion's vast resources. Now it is time to test the results of your cultivation. Whoever completes the mission more outstandingly will receive a piece of Enlightenment Tea as a reward from me."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed excited expressions.

They shouted in unison, "We will definitely complete the mission!"
