Chapter 569: Chapter 568: Red Beard’s Stubbornness

After the monsters had inspected the area, and ensured there wasn’t even a mouse left in the old inn, Wen Wen released the Black Chains, enveloping the entire establishment.

The inn itself was a huge Containment Item. Though its abilities were useless against Wen Wen, it might be useless, but Wen Wen had to capture it nonetheless.

The massive inn shrank within the chains, eventually becoming like a building model, and Wen Wen dragged it into the Sanctuary.

"The operation is officially over, and it’s time for all of you to head back," Wen Wen said.

With a snap of his fingers, the monsters disappeared one by one, leaving only Wen Wen, Feng Baosheng, and the large pit that was once the foundation of the old inn.

After giving Feng Baosheng a sum of money and sending him on his way, Gong Baoding arrived at the scene with Zou Xiaomin and a team of Supporters in tow.

The aftermath of the factory, which belonged to Red Beard, wasn’t settled yet, and Wen Wen had already caused a new stir. This infuriated Gong Baoding whenever he saw Wen Wen.

It would have been one thing if Wen Wen had left behind some benefits, but wherever Wen Wen went, it was as if locusts had passed through—nothing of value remained, only trouble.

Zou Xiaomin, on the other hand, was overjoyed. Seeing Wen Wen looking somewhat tired, she blushed and leaned closer to give him a hug of love.

During Wen Wen’s absence, she observed couples in the heat of passion and realized that their souls emitted a specific pheromone, which would solidify their love.

As a Spiritual Communicator, she could artificially release this pheromone, subtly making a man develop feelings for her, as long as she remained sufficiently close to continually exert influence.

But as soon as she got close to Wen Wen, she found herself pushed away by an invisible force.

When she tried to approach again, she was pushed away once more, this time with some force, sending her further back.

Wen Wen looked at Zou Xiaomin with puzzlement. What was this woman up to, getting close and then retreating...

Zou Xiaomin, not to be outdone, charged at Wen Wen forcefully, only to hear a ’smack’, and her left cheek turned slightly red, showing four slender finger marks...

Wen Wen ran his fingers through his hair, utterly confused, and said to her, "What are you doing..."

"You... you actually hit me, I don’t like you anymore!"

Zou Xiaomin covered her face and began to cry, hastily leaving Wen Wen’s side.

Wen Wen remained on the spot with a blank expression, completely bewildered.

"Although I don’t know what happened, her saying she doesn’t like me anymore could be considered a good thing, I guess."

...

A cold breeze blew by, and Chai Yun suddenly came to her senses, her first reaction being to check that she was unharmed, and then she realized she was standing at her own front door.

Her expression was somewhat vacant; it felt as if something had happened, yet as if nothing had occurred at all.

The bag in her hand was heavy; when she opened it, she found it filled with stacks of money.

After counting briefly, she realized there was almost two hundred thousand—a hundred and fifty thousand was enough to cover her father’s medical expenses, and the rest could lift her family out of hardship.

"What on earth is going on..."

As she pondered, the door to her house opened, and her mother rushed out, embracing her and sobbing.

Her husband was seriously ill, and her daughter had disappeared for fifteen days, causing her to seemingly age over a decade in a short time.

Gently patting her mother’s back, Chai Yun smiled. No matter what, she was home now—whatever had happened before was no longer important.

...

Three days had passed since Wen Wen resolved the situation at the old inn, and he had basically stayed within the Sanctuary during this time.

After three days of recovery, Wen Wen had finally returned to his peak condition.

During this period, he had tested Red Beard’s physique, only to discover that even when using both Red Beard and Shark Warrior’s physiques simultaneously, his strength did not improve significantly.

It seemed that the barrier of strength still existed. Unless Wen Wen’s "Dark Matter" reached the Disaster Intermediate Sequence, even using two monster physiques at the same time would only place his power at the threshold of the Disaster Upper Order.

However, upgrading "Dark Matter" to the Disaster Intermediate Sequence was estimated to take a considerable amount of time. Nevertheless, with his prior experience, Wen Wen was not surprised by this.

Aside from resting, Wen Wen also did another thing, which was to expel the demonic nature from within the Sword Embryo.

This Sword Embryo was rather important to Wen Wen, so he wanted to adjust it to the form most suitable for himself.

After Red Beard had recklessly messed with it, the demonic nature within the Sword Embryo had become somewhat excessive.

The so-called demonic nature is simply causing the bearer to be consumed by a bloodthirsty desire, wanting nothing more than to slash at people with the sword.

For Wen Wen, this was merely a minor issue. Having undergone many baptisms, Wen Wen had an exceptionally strong tolerance, and even a bit of demonic nature was acceptable to him.

But the demonic nature within this Sword Embryo was so strong that if it were left alone, it would fly up and slash at people on its own, which meant Wen Wen had to weaken it to a certain extent.

Wen Wen’s method of expelling the demonic nature was simple and crude.

That was to cast a Cross of the Creation Church in pure silver around the exterior of the Sword Embryo, and then he delivered this Cross to the room of the Angel of Universal Light.

Upon seeing the Cross, the Angel of Universal Light treated it as a Supreme Treasure, enshrining it within the cell and praying to it daily.

In just a short span of three days, this Cross had already developed a certain power of exorcism.

And the Sword Embryo sealed within the Cross was rapidly losing its demonic nature. Wen Wen estimated that in another ten to eight days, the demonic nature could be weakened to an acceptable level for him.

With his recuperation complete, Wen Wen had two matters that needed attention. The first was to educate Red Beard and make him obediently serve as his tool.

The second was to recruit Barcode into the Sanctuary and then figure out how to bring the Coding Organization under the Foundation.

On the second day after being captured, Red Beard had already woken up, but this was Wen Wen’s first time visiting him.

"How is it, not too bad living here, right?" Wen Wen asked Red Beard as he sat outside the cell.

"Hmph!" Red Beard turned his head away, ignoring Wen Wen.

Through conversations with other monsters, Red Beard had roughly figured out what this place was, but he did not want to grovel like the others.

"Tsk, quite the temper."

Wen Wen pinched his chin, pondering over how to make Red Beard submit to him.

For Red Beard, neither using violence nor inflicting personal humiliation were viable options.

Because Wen Wen needed Red Beard to serve as his craftsman, and if he were to destroy his mind, the quality of the items produced would likely drop a notch.

Although after the implantation of the Black Chains, Red Beard wouldn’t be able to engage in any mischief even if he wanted to, when it came to crafting Superpower Items, even a bad mood could affect the quality of forging.

The materials used were Wen Wen’s property, and Wen Wen did not wish to waste them due to such reasons.
