The Portal of Wonderland

Shi Mu glanced around, then walked to the corpse of the first demon bird he beheaded, and also put away its beast soul.

He patted the beast soul bag in satisfaction. On the way to Cangxu City, he also spent a lot of thought on collecting beast souls, and the beast souls in the beast soul bag had already accumulated quite a lot.

His biggest purpose of collecting beast souls was to please Yan Luo. If she could show him how to use the mysterious power of the Meteorite Black Sword, his strength would be improved qualitatively.

Although he himself can trigger this rather peculiar power from time to time, after all, there is a lot of luck involved in it. When encountering some key battles, sometimes the victory or defeat may be just a thought away, and such a casual situation cannot be tolerated. .

It's just that Yan Luo still hasn't responded to his call in the past few days, which makes him quite depressed.

Shi Mu sighed, turned his hand and pulled out the meteorite black knife on his back, and at the same time turned his hand to take out a middle-grade fire attribute spirit stone, which touched the black knife.

The light of the spirit stone flashed, and one after another spiritual power overflowed and merged into the black knife.

After devouring five medium-grade spirit stones in a row, the weight of the Meteorite Black Saber reached its limit and stopped increasing.

Shi Mu inserted the black knife into his back, waved his hand, a blue light flashed, and the blue-winged speeding car emerged.

Shi Mu jumped onto the speeding car, and waved out a spell.

With a flash of blue light, the Blue Wing Speeding Vehicle flew towards the distance.

This pursuit has gone deep into the mountains for an unknown number of miles.

At this time, it was less than two days before Zhong Xiu promised to deliver the goods. Now that he got the star stone, he had to rush back as soon as possible, otherwise the delivery date would be delayed, and there would be some troubles.

...

Cangxu City, Hanyuan Pavilion.

In an elegantly furnished living room, there are several people sitting for the guest of honor.

On the main seat, Wang Ruikun sat opposite a middle-aged man with brown hair and blue eyes. The man was none other than Cang Xu City Lord, Linghu Kuan.

The two were chatting without saying a word.

In the place where the two started, Zhong Xiu and the enchanting woman were sitting on the left and the right respectively.

From time to time, the eyes of the enchanting woman swept over the three people present, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and from time to time, in the chat between Wang Ruikun and Linghu Kuan, she interjected a sentence or two that were equally innocuous.

Zhong Xiu sat without saying a word, with a calm expression.

At this moment, an attendant in green came in, holding four uniquely shaped white jade teacups in his hands, served each of the four people a cup, and quickly retreated.

The curling water vapor floated from the cup, and it condensed and did not disperse, exuding a quiet fragrance.

These are spiritual teas brought from a remote place by the Chamber of Commerce. The taste is not bad. Please taste it, Lord City Lord. Wang Ruikun laughed.

Linghu Kuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, suddenly felt the rich fragrance in his mouth, his dantian was slightly hot, his eyes lit up immediately, and praised:

It's really good tea. Could this tea be the world-famous 'Baironglu'?

Hehe, the city lord is really well-informed. This tea is the freshest white velvet tea this year. If the city lord likes it, I still have two boxes here. You might as well take it home and taste it slowly. Wang Ruikun said, waving and taking out two blue teas The tea box, hand it over.

I'm afraid I can't buy a box of such spiritual tea with ten thousand spiritual stones. How can I accept such a heavy gift. Linghu Kuan shook his hand and declined.

Wang Ruikun didn't insist either, and put the tea box on the table.

Actually, I'm here today, and it's not a big deal. I just want to ask about the condition of the goods delivered from Rikang City. Seeing that tomorrow's time will be applied, it's time for delivery. Linghu Kuan said. One turn, said.

Regarding this matter, Elder Zhong has made a special trip to visit and assured the city lord. Now that the city lord has come to ask about this again, could it be that he really believed those rumors and questioned the strength of my Tianwu Chamber of Commerce? Wang Ruikun's expression remained unchanged. the way.

The Tianwu Chamber of Commerce is famous. How dare I question it. It's just that there have been rumors in the city recently, and there is one item in that batch of goods that is very important, so nothing can go wrong. I believe Vice President Wang can understand my difficulties, right? Linghu Kuan said calmly.

City Master Linghu, don't worry, the city master will come to pick up the goods on time tomorrow. Wang Ruikun said, turning to look at Zhong Xiu.

Since Vice President Wang is like this, then I will wait another day and come to visit tomorrow, and I will leave today. Linghu stood up, clasped his fists to Wang Ruikun, and then looked at the clock. Showing a glance, she walked towards the door of the living room.

By the way, my ugly words are in the front. If the Shenshigui Chamber of Commerce is still unable to deliver the goods tomorrow, don't blame me for not being sympathetic and reporting the matter to the higher-ups of the clan alliance. Linghu Kuan stopped halfway. Step down, turn around and say a word.

As soon as the words fell, he stepped out of the hall without waiting for Wang Ruikun and others to reply.

After Linghu Kuan left, Wang Ruikun's expression darkened immediately.

The enchanting woman glanced at Zhong Xiu, but there was a gloomy look in her eyes.

Elder Zhong, you heard what City Lord Linghu said just now. How did you investigate the whereabouts of the goods? Can you give me a letter? Wang Ruikun looked at Zhong Xiu and asked.

Please rest assured, Vice President, tomorrow's application will definitely be delivered on time. Zhong Xiu has been extremely calm since the beginning, and now he still said in a calm tone.

Elder Zhong, are you sure you're not joking? As far as I know, you've been just wandering around in the city these days. Dare I ask Elder Zhong, what kind of clue do you say you have grasped the key clue? According to me Look, you didn't try hard to solve this matter at all! said the enchanting woman.

Okay, goodbye. Wang Ruikun raised his hand to stop the enchanting woman.

Elder Zhong, since you did not accept the solution proposed by the chamber of commerce, you are solely responsible for this matter. If you can deliver the goods on time tomorrow, then this matter should have never happened, and the chamber of commerce will credit you with great credit. If I fail to recover the goods, I can only report the matter to the president in person and apply for removal of your position as an elder. Moreover, the triple fine incurred for this escort mission will also be deducted from your future work remuneration. Wang Ruikun said.

Zhong Xiu didn't do anything, just nodded.

Wang Ruikun glanced at Zhong Xiu, said nothing, turned and walked towards the inner room.

In the living room, only Zhong Xiu and the enchanting woman were left.

Elder Zhong, do you still have time to sit here? Or, are you already mentally prepared to be demoted? The enchanting woman stood up and looked at Zhong Xiu with a smile.

Zhong Xiu looked up at the enchanting woman, and slowly stood up.

Although the enchanting woman was also as beautiful as a flower, compared with Zhong Xiu's stunning appearance, she was obviously a bit inferior.

In terms of temperament, how can this woman's enchanting charm compare with Zhong Xiu's nine-day fairy-like charm, but it seems a bit vulgar.

The enchanting woman looked at Zhong Xiu's snow lotus-like face, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

After Yunyi City, I haven't seen Wei, but I haven't found her body either. Zhong Xiu said suddenly.

Wei? Who is that? The enchanting woman's expression froze slightly, and then she smiled.

Zhong Xiu took a look at the enchanting woman, turned around and walked out of the living room. From the beginning to the end, she looked calm and breezy, without any anxiety.

The enchanting woman watched Zhong Xiu walk away, her face darkened, she walked out of the living room, and soon came to a courtyard.

Sister. A handsome maid came out of the courtyard and bowed to the enchanting woman. It was Wei.

However, she looks a lot thinner now than when she was in Cloud Wing City, and a red mark can be seen faintly on her neck, which seems to be a scar that has just recovered from a serious injury.

Get up. The enchanting woman said lightly, walked into the main hall of the courtyard and sat down.

Wei followed step by step, and when the enchanting woman sat down, she immediately poured a pot of tea for her.

Thank you for your hard work this time. The enchanting woman said.

These are what a maidservant should do. Wei lowered her head.

You don't deserve credit this time, and you will be rewarded. But in Yunyi City, the person who intends to remind Zhong Xiu, please recall again, what are the characteristics of this person? asked the enchanting woman.

Wei was taken aback, and then tried to recall Shi Mu's figure and appearance, and described it as much as possible.

The enchanting woman heard it in her ears, and after a while, she waved her hand to make Wei retreat.

The enchanting woman pondered for a moment, then flipped her hand suddenly, and a white jade talisman appeared in her palm.

The light on the jade talisman flashed and condensed into a water mirror.

Two figures emerged from the water mirror, one was Zhong Xiu, and the other was a boy in coarse linen with a turban covering half of his face.

The enchanting woman's gaze stayed on the gray-clothed boy, her eyes flickering.

After a while, she put away the jade talisman and suddenly clapped her hands.

A figure flashed in front of her, and a figure in black appeared.

Sister. The man in black bowed and saluted.

I asked you to investigate the guy next to Zhong Xiu, how is your investigation going? the enchanting woman asked.

Sister Qi, this subordinate has been investigating near Elder Zhong Xiu's residence these days. Except for the first few days, he has not seen you since then. It seems... It seems that he just disappeared. The man in black After hesitating for a moment, he began to speak.

Trash! The enchanting woman scolded coldly, and the man in black hurriedly lowered his head.

Go down, continue to monitor around Zhong Xiu, and report to me as soon as you find this person. A moment later, the enchanting woman said coldly.

The man in black retreated slowly as if he had been pardoned.

The enchanting woman's beautiful eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about some conspiracy, she stood up after a while, with a sneer on her face.

I don't care if you have someone secretly helping you, I don't believe it, in just one day, you can still find a lot of lost goods! The enchanting woman sneered and muttered to herself. (To be continued.)
