Li Xianyu was ready to act like he suffered tremendously in front of Great-Grandma and act cute, such as saying, “Granny, someone bullied your great-grandson again. Come avenge me~” or “Great-Grandma, your great-grandson wants to do great things for the benefit of the country and the people, please support me, sobs~”
Li Xianyu now had no psychological burden being someone’s great-grandson. At first, he felt weird as he was suddenly someone’s great-grandson. Later, he found that it was rather good. There were countless people in the demon descendants community that wanted to be Great-Grandma’s great-grandson but they didn’t have this fortune.
The Li family’s Unparalleled War Spirit was only passed on to men but not women, which was a rule stipulated by Great-Grandma herself. Great-Grandma’s was biased towards males, as she was an antique from the late Qing Dynasty. In addition to that, the key was that once a woman could inherit her, the Li family bloodline would really stop.
I don’t know what Great-Grandma went through. Li Xianyu only knew that she had a strong obsession with clan surnames.
In addition, it was also a kind of protection for the women in the Li family. If men were forced to continue the bloodline, they didn’t lose out. But it was different for women. If women can inherit the Unparalleled War Spirit, that would be too miserable for the women in the Li family.
Great-Grandma simply replied, “Mm.” She grew impatient with his incessant nagging and said, “I’m playing games, don’t bother me.”
Li Xianyu was ready to contact Thunderbolt Battle Lady and discuss the protection of Ice Shards in advance. Suddenly, a text message entered his mailbox: “Your sister is in my hands. I want to see you in Jiuhu Mountain in an hour. Signed: Liu Tong.”
Li Xianyu immediately became agitated when he saw this text message.
He burst out of bed and called Ice Shards first. However, the call didn’t go through. The voice message indicated that the phone was turned off. He rushed out of the room and knocked on the door wildly but no one responded.
How could my sister fall into the hands of the Demons Alliance? She was just going out for dinner.
In the conference room of Fengtian Division, he uttered insolent words and burned bridges with the Demons Alliance. It has only been half a day before Ice Shards was taken away. Li Xianyu felt that even if the Demons Alliance wanted to deal with him, it should be after the formal use of force by both sides. He still underestimated the determination of these animals to fight back.
Perhaps by the time he left the Fengtian Division, he had been targeted by the Demons Alliance. Otherwise, how else would they have known that Ice Shards was in Northeast China?
“You bastards are forcing me to start a massacre.” Li Xianyu stood in the hallway, thinking of some terrible things that might have happened to Ice Shards. His eyes slowly turned scarlet and his face gradually grew ferocious.
A few seconds later, the murderous intent in his eyes faded, as he slapped himself a few times and calmed down slightly, “Liu Tong kidnapped her to negotiate with me. Since she is a bargaining chip, he will not hurt her until we negotiate.”
That was close. He was close to being influenced by Slime again.
Li Xianyu patted his balls and patted his buttocks again. The pain made him calmer.
Stay calm!
Li Xianyu left the hotel, hailed a taxi by the side of the road, and dialed Minister Wu’s number at the same time.
The other party quickly answered, “What’s up. If you want a case of foreign species killing someone, then the answer is there isn’t. Although the demon descendants community has been very chaotic recently, but it’s not that crazy.”
Li Xianyu said bluntly, “My sister was caught by Liu Tong and he asked me to meet him in Jiuhu Mountain within an hour. How should I deal with this?”
Minister Wu was silent for a moment, “Where are you now?”
Li Xianyu said his position calmly.
“I will ask the nearby staff to take you to Jiuhu Mountain immediately,” Minister Wu said very quickly. “The Demons Alliance is going too far. They may want to negotiate with you, but they should not kidnap your sister. There is still room for negotiation. For the sake of your sister’s safety, let’s be civil first before using force. I’ll go with you to see him right away.”
Li Xianyu was surprised at his performance. With the minister’s personality, shouldn’t he be all “I’ll send a master to support you,” and then stay out of the way and not get involved himself.
Five minutes later, a police car parked by the side of the hotel, sirens blaring. A young lady in police uniform poked her head out from the window. “Handsome man, get in the car.”
“You are from the company?” Li Xianyu gave seven points based on her face and eight points for her chest.
“Don’t waste time. Don’t you have something important? Hurry up and get in the car.” The young police lady grew impatient.
Li Xianyu immediately opened the door and sat in the co-driver’s seat. A police ID was thrown into his arms. The young police lady said, “I’m a middle-level staff of Baoze who works in the T County Public Security Bureau. I happen to be on duty tonight.”
Li Xianyu glanced at the police ID. Her name was Liu Yao and she was born in 1995. She was curvaceous but had no makeup. If she had had makeup, she would be more beautiful.
There were many beautiful ladies in the demon descendants community indeed. Tsk, her surname is Liu. Li Xianyu was now very sensitive to the surname Liu.
“You are a human, right?” he asked uneasily.
“No, I’m from the Liu family.” Liu Yao turned his head and spit out her forked tongue at Li Xianyu. When she saw Li Xianyu’s body tense for a moment, she quickly explained, “Take it easy. I’m a Baoze employee, and my position is very clear.”
“What goddamn clear position would a snake like you have.” Li Xianyu stared at her and still did not relax his vigilance.
Liu Yao looked ahead, as she stepped on the gas pedal. She overtook the other cars and the speed must be illegal, but because it was a police car, they had the privilege of running a red light. They are in a hurry now.
Liu Yao casually threw our her Baoze employee ID. “See for yourself, although I am an alien, not all foreign species are against humanity, okay? Many members of the foreign species yearn for a stable and harmonious life, which is in fact the nature of all living things, human or animal. With the exception of some conspirators and ambitious people, we all hope to live in peace and security.”
“Baoze is better than the Buddhist society. It can be tolerant and accept some kind foreign species. As long as you are willing to abide by the rules, it will provide you with a higher social status and better living conditions.”
Li Xianyu quietly sent a message to Minister Wu. He then replied, “Isn’t this true for the Demons Alliance?”
He was more inclined to the doctrine of “If you are not one of our kind, you must have other intentions.” Most Chinese people had such ideas, which they learned from culture.
Liu Yao was nonchalant and seemed used to questioning like this. “Do you think it is strange that as a member of the foreign species, I joined Baoze to work for human beings, to help deal with my race?”
Li Xianyu did not speak. He thought of the God of Apes, who was also a member of the foreign species, but held a high position in Baoze.
“The racial sense of a member of the foreign species is very narrow and we only acknowledge the same kind. However, even snakes are also divided into many species. The phenomenon of big snakes eating small snakes is very common. If they are not from the same clan, they are not the same kind. Not to mention mice and weasels. Who would think they are of the same race? They are just food to each other. The establishment of the Demons Alliance is not so much a sense of race as an interest-driven group to stay alive.” Liu Yao said, “Remember Baoze’s vision?”
Li Xianyu thought about it and said uncertainly, “Order above all else?”
Liu Yao nodded. “I am not working for human beings. Nor do I work for foreign species. I am serving order. Only when order is stable can human beings and foreign species move forward. I joined Baoze because I agree with this idea.”
Ding! A text message came in and Minister Wu replied, “She is one of our own. She has some relations with the Liu family. With her leading the way, it will be smoother.”
After all, there were few members of the foreign species such as Liu Yao, especially in the northeast where the Demons Alliance existed. Most foreign species will choose to join the Demons Alliance rather than Baoze. The Demons Alliance is loose in management and more casual, while foreign species are free-spirited and do not like to be bound.
“I’m sorry, I’m too narrow-minded, Li Xianyu said.
“It’s okay, after all, you are less educated,” Liu Yao replied.
“Huh?”
Liu Yao looked at him and said confidently, “I know who you are. The Li family descendant who did not graduate from college and studied at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and was just an ordinary undergraduate. I, on the other hand, hold a double doctorate. If not for the job arranged by the company, with my degree, I will definitely earn a million monthly and be a successful member of the foreign species.”
Li Xianyu opened his mouth wide and murmured, “Is a snake’s IQ that high?”
The sense of superiority as a human being suddenly disappeared.
Liu Yao said, “I don’t have much unimportant thoughts. All I thought about in those years was studying, learning. I was satisfied with food and did not want to mate. I just kept learning like this and accidentally finished my PhD.”
The corners of Li Xianyu’s mouth twitched, I have many unimportant thoughts in these years. I wanted to play, I wanted to play games, I wanted to mate and I didn’t like to learn. I became a disgrace to mankind accidentally.
“I read online that someone said your left arm was fascinating and said it could devour people’s qi and blood. Is that true?” Liu Yao asked.
“Yes.” Li Xianyu nodded.
For a long time to come, Slime would be his main means of fighting. He was unable to hide it, and there was no need to hide it.
“I heard that when you touch a woman, she will twitch all over.” Liu Yao’s eyes sparkled.
“That’s true too.” Li Xianyu nodded.
“You are simply more evil than a member of the foreign species.” Liu Yao stuck out her forked tongue and exclaimed excitedly, “Can I experience it? Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have a special hobby. I’m just curious, as a scholar.”
Li Xianyu did not agree. “Let’s talk about it later. Let’s get down to business now.”
If he were to touch her, a traffic accident might happen.
Halfway across the highway, they drove down from the gate. After ten minutes of driving swiftly on the national highway, they then turned into a path. After driving for more than 10 minutes, there had been no city lights around. Even the street lamps did not get set up. This place was surrounded by farmland and far away was a continuous mountain range.
Northeast China was sparsely populated even in China which had a dense population. Li Xianyu remembered what his geography teacher had taught.
In the moonlight, the sparkling light appeared in their field of vision. There was a big lake ahead, quietly twinkling with the moonlight at night.
There was a mountain by the lake, and the lights on the mountain are continuous. It was a complex of buildings.
“See that group of villas on the mountain? It’s the Liu family’s base camp,” Liu Yao said.
The Liu family was a very broad concept. The snakes in the eastern three provinces all call themselves the Liu family, the most powerful of which was Liu Tong’s clan. Liu Tong was also the head of the Liu family. Jiuhu Mountain was the base of this Liu family clan.
The police car stopped at the foot of the mountain. The villas here had a standard construction and there were special kiosks.
“It’s me. I’m looking for Liu Tong.” Liu Yao lowered down the car window and showed her beautiful face.
“Who are you?” A middle-aged man in charge of guarding the gate said exasperatedly.
The next moment, Li Xianyu witnessed in shock, as Liu Yao’s upper body turned into a snake. Her lower body was still two long legs, as a thick snake body poked out of the car window into the sentry booth, as she hissed.
The middle-aged man reacted and suddenly realized. “Oh it’s you, show your face earlier. I forgot your human face when I saw it.”
As he spoke, he lifted the gantry and showed the way.
Li Xianyu was speechless.
It turned out that there would also be face blindness between foreign species, which was very scientific. However, the style was also slightly off.
Liu Yao got back into the car and transformed back into a person. She dug out a thin black shirt as thin as the cicada wing from the small drawer beside the transmission.
Li Xianyu glanced out of the window and did not look at her exposed body. She was a snake indeed. Her slender waist was the thinnest waist he has ever seen. Her posture of covering the chest was also very fascinating. It was the standard posture in Japanese porn.
“It’s alright,” Liu Yao said. “You can look at it. Anyway, we foreign species don’t care much about it.”
I can’t believe she’s so bold.
Li Xianyu said, “I’m not Xu Xian.”
Born in New China, Li Xianyu, a good teenager who was raised under the red flag, refused.
The police car went up the mountain highway and headed for the villa at the top of the hill.
The door of the villa at the top of the mountain was closed. The lights were dim and there wasn’t anyone, giving people a feeling of gloom and repression.
Li Xianyu took out his mobile phone and looked at it. He didn’t exceed an hour’s time limit. He asked me to come over and negotiate, but turned people away.
Liu Yao looked at him, as she spat out her tongue and hissed.
A hissing sound came from the yard, and a rustle of grass rang. A large snake the width of an arm and a length of three meters emerged.
Liu Yao hissed a few times and the large snake hissed back a few times. When the two parties were done communicating, the large snake slithered away. A few minutes later, an old man came out on crutches and opened the iron door.
“Hello, what can I do for you in this late night visit?” The old man’s voice was hoarse, revealing the vicissitudes of life.
“You know why exactly. Bring me to Liu Tong immediately,” Li Xianyu said in a cold voice.
“Uncle, it’s me, Xiaoyao.” Liu Yao giggled.
The old man looked up and stared at her with his unclear gaze. He looked at her for a few seconds and finally recognized her. Humming, he said, “It’s you, little girl. Aren’t you having fun mixing around with the humans? What are you doing here at Jiuhu Mountain?”
Liu Yao pouted. “Didn’t Uncle Liu Tong ask him to come over? He even kidnapped his sister.”
The old man was stunned and said angrily, “Nonsense, the owner did not say that there were guests who would visit tonight. The Demons Alliance general election is approaching, and you, Baoze, should not look for trouble at this point. I heard that there was a Li family descendant in the northeast. He was arrogant and threatened to destroy the Demons Alliance.”
“Enough of this nonsense.” A scarlet light flickered in the depths of Li Xianyu’s eyes. “Get Liu Tong to show himself. If the Liu family dares to harm my sister even in the slightest, I will annihilate the Liu family today.”
He did not know if Ice Shards was safe and he was not in the mood to quarrel with these people.
Liu Yao smiled and said, “During this period, the Demons Alliance has indeed gone overboard. Although I am a member of the foreign species, I disagree with your actions. No matter how chaotic the demon descendants community may be, there should be a limit. It cannot destroy the great order. If the order is unstable, the Demons Alliance will also be affected. If the cubs under each family are at peace, then the Li family descendant will naturally not deal with the Demons Alliance, and there is still room for negotiation.”
“But now that the Liu family has kidnapped his sister, once it has caused irreparable harm, Uncle, do you think the Unparalleled War Spirit has the ability to destroy the Demons Alliance?”
The old man frowned and looked at them suspiciously.
When the owner returned in the afternoon, he lost his temper and said something about brat going overboard. However, scolding was one thing, but when it was time to judge the situation, he also knew to keep a low profile. He immediately asked the juniors in the clan to be low-key recently and not be entangled with ordinary people in the world.
No matter how the other foreign species families behaved, in the alternation stage of the new and old leader, the Liu family chose to preserve strength and not clash head-on with the Li family descendant.
Suddenly, the Li family descendant came to their doorstep, asking if the owner had sent someone to kidnap his sister.
Liu Yao said, “No matter what happened, Uncle, let us meet the master. If there is a misunderstanding, we can make it clear face to face.”
At this time, the phone in the old man’s pocket rang. Liu Tong had sent a message. When the old man finished reading, his tone suddenly relaxed.
“Come with me.” The old man slowly turned and walked back on crutches.
“Hey.” Liu Yao shouted to him, “Uncle, you haven’t opened the door yet! Your memory is getting worse.”
The old man looked back suspiciously, stared at the lock for a moment and found that he did not open the door. He suddenly realized with an “Oh,” slowly walked back and took out the key to open the door.
Li Xianyu and Liu Yao stepped into the yard, and there was a rustling sound on the grass on both sides. They didn’t know how many snakes were watching in secret.
These snakes had just gained rationality but were unable to transform into humans. They were low-grade members of the foreign species and their IQ was about the same as those of children who were a few years old.
The old man led them to the hall of the main building. The lights were dim. Li Xianyu activated his sense of smell in silence and his eyes grew hot. The building was filled with black air in his eyes. The air fluttered with the unique stench of snakes, and it became stronger and stronger at this time.
“My lord is on the fourth floor, in the study at the end of the hallway. He wants to see you alone.” The old man finished and walked away slowly.
Li Xianyu went upstairs first, followed by Liu Yao. They came to the study at the end of the corridor and opened the door of the room. A faint smell of blood emanated in the air. If he didn’t activate his sense of smell, he almost could not smell it.
The lights in the study were faint and they could overlook the scenery at the foot of the mountain through the landing window. Liu Tong sat on the broad and comfortable recliner, with his back facing them, as if admiring the dark night.
“I’m here, Liu Tong,” Li Xianyu said solemnly.
For a while, no one answered and Liu Tong still sat motionlessly.
“Don’t pretend to put up a front. Where’s my sister?” Li Xianyu frowned.
He still hadn’t turned around.
Li Xianyu and Liu Yao looked at each other. They both frowned and felt that things were amiss. Li Xianyu slowly approached Liu Tong, pressed the handle of the rotating chair, and turned him around. The pupils of both the human and snake contracted and their expressions changed.
Under the dim light, Liu Tong leaned feebly on the chair. His eyes were opened wide and his face was gray. He was lifeless and had been dead for a long time.
