Regardless of whether Feng Zheng felt like it or not, the matter had already been decided. As a soul entity, Xiao Jin could seize control of Ma San's body, so Li Chonglou wasn't worried that Ma San would actually do anything to Ya Lili.
Afterward, Li Chonglou bid farewell to the three and went to Black Knife's stronghold.
Upon entering, he saw both of them sitting inside, drinking tea and appearing leisurely. Beside them was an exquisite fruit platter, upon which Xiaobai was lying, enjoying various delicious fruits with a look of contentment.
"Nothing happening?"
Li Chonglou was a bit confused. Seeing his arrival, both of them immediately got up and greeted him enthusiastically.
At this moment, Black Knife explained, "It's not that nothing is happening; it's that Bai Shen is too amazing!"
Bai Shen? Li Chonglou was taken aback for a moment, then realized Black Knife was referring to Xiaobai.
Upon further inquiry, Li Chonglou learned that the other party had already begun their actions yesterday.
In three to four consecutive bars, they encountered people deliberately causing trouble. Moreover, the troublemakers were not locals. If Black Knife hadn't arrived in time, there might have been bloodshed!
"Brother Li, you don't know, Mao Shen took down those jerks in just a few moves, making them unable to get up from the ground! No one else even needed to lift a finger!"
Black Knife said with excitement. He had never encountered such a monstrous pet in his life. He had only heard before that some professional hunting dogs could provide a certain level of protection, but a pet like Xiaobai, small in size yet fiercer than a giant bear, had completely redefined his worldview!
That speed and strength gave Black Knife an intuition: with Bai Shen, they could even take over the entire territory of Shangjing!
Li Chonglou could understand Black Knife's excitement and thrill, but he still offered a reminder.
"Don't get carried away. There are far more powerful people in this world than you can imagine, and Xiaobai is not invincible. If you encounter an opponent you can't resist, you must avoid their direct force first and notify me as soon as possible."
Black Knife grinned slyly, not taking Li Chonglou's words to heart. However, he nodded on the surface and replied.
"Alright."
Li Chonglou didn't think much of it. He instructed Sanyang to follow Black Knife for a while and also told Black Knife to let Sanyang practice if he had the chance, before leaving Black Knife's stronghold.
Just then, the teahouse owner suddenly called.
"Boss, the person you were looking for is here again!"
Because Li Chonglou was generous with his spending, the teahouse owner directly called him "Boss." As he was a person who was easily swayed by money, Li Chonglou was not surprised by this.
Instead, upon hearing that that fellow Ping had appeared again, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Keep him here for me! There will definitely be a reward afterward!"
"No problem, Boss, but you need to come quickly."
The teahouse owner readily agreed. Li Chonglou hung up the phone and hailed a taxi, heading straight for the teahouse.
Meanwhile, inside the teahouse, Wu Ping and a woman had just entered a private tea room. Before they could even sit down, the teahouse owner walked in with a smile.
"Oh, Boss Jin, what brings you here with so much free time today?"
Wu Ping greeted him familiarly. The teahouse owner's real name was Jin Hongfa, and those who knew him called him Boss Jin. Wu Ping often brought girls here to show off, so he naturally knew his title.
"Brother Ping, the moment I saw you come in, I came right over. How about that, am I being generous enough!"
Boss Jin came directly to Wu Ping's side and put his arm around his shoulder. The latter's face flickered with confusion, but with a beautiful woman present, such a courteous gesture from Boss Jin naturally made him feel extremely pleased.
So, even though Wu Ping didn't know why Boss Jin was suddenly so enthusiastic towards him today, he played along.
"Of course, you're generous enough. Boss Jin, who handles so many matters, can personally entertain me. If this were to get out, countless people would be envious!"
As Wu Ping spoke, he deliberately glanced in the direction of the woman, clearly showing off.
It was at this moment that Boss Jin noticed that the woman Wu Ping had brought this time was truly extraordinary!
Her hair was cut short to her ears, her eyebrows were delicate, and her lips were thin. At first glance, she exuded an air of heroism, yet her attire and style were extremely fashionable and sexy. Moreover, her figure was perfectly proportioned. Although her skin wasn't fair, it looked plump and elastic, truly a captivating beauty!
Even Boss Jin, who had seen countless women, was momentarily stunned at the first glance of the woman's true appearance!
She had so much charisma! Where did this guy find such a top-tier beauty?
A strong sense of jealousy, envy, and hatred surged within him. The sliver of guilt that Boss Jin still harbored towards Wu Ping instantly vanished!
It was truly a toad feasting on a swan, a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!
With this thought, the smile on Boss Jin's face became strained, but he still took the initiative to greet the woman.
"Wow, I didn't expect such a beauty! Hello, my name is Jin Hongfa."
Boss Jin said this as he extended his slightly plump hand. The woman, without any shyness, gracefully extended her slender hand to shake his. She said softly, "Hello, Boss Jin, you can call me Xiao Qian."
Although the woman's voice wasn't sweet, it was very distinctive, calm and sensual, which made it even more captivating.
At this moment, a flicker of dissatisfaction crossed Wu Ping's eyes. The woman he had invited was now shaking hands enthusiastically with someone else. Wu Ping, who had been somewhat pleased by Boss Jin's arrival, now felt that Boss Jin was nothing but a nuisance.
He quickly stepped forward to interrupt their handshake and said, "Alright, Boss Jin, do you have something important to discuss? If not, then..."
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was clear. Wu Ping was now trying to dismiss him.
Boss Jin also remembered that he had a task to complete. Hearing Wu Ping's tone, he felt even worse inwardly.
Damn it, I was so mesmerized by the beauty that I forgot about this! This guy is already jealous. How can I stabilize him?
Since he didn't know when Li Chonglou would arrive, Boss Jin, for the sake of his 'commission,' couldn't just ignore Wu Ping.
Boss Jin's eyes darted around a few times, and finally, he put on an enthusiastic smile and turned to Wu Ping.
"It's like this, Brother Ping. Our establishment is currently running a hidden promotion. The hundred-thousandth customer to enter today will receive our complimentary VIP room! Brother Ping, you know what I mean."
Boss Jin winked at Wu Ping, whose eyes immediately lit up.
"Boss Jin means that I happen to be the hundred-thousandth customer?"
"Exactly!"
Boss Jin nodded with a grin, secretly mocking Wu Ping's ignorance. A VIP room was at most a hundred to two hundred yuan more expensive than a regular room, but as long as he could keep the person, he could earn thousands of yuan!
