Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Nine Curves Mist Maze Formation

Lin Shanshan was amused by Long Fei, unexpectedly finding herself jealous over a dog.

What a lecher, a lecher indeed.

Wolves are the ancestors of dogs; it’s only natural for dogs to inherit that gene, not really that surprising.

Her explanation had Long Fei giving a big thumbs up; he didn’t expect her to have researched genetics.

Long Fei weakly wondered, which gene did the lechers of the Human Race inherit?

He poured a cup of tea and asked Lin Shanshan, "Are you still working on that APP lately? You just let me invest money in it, but you never seem concerned about it?"

Lin Shanshan sniffed, playfully replied, "What, are you, this major shareholder, worried about your investment going down the drain?"

Long Fei laughed, "I’m not worried about the money, I’m just afraid you’ll give up halfway on everything. Honestly, I’m quite optimistic about your APP. If you put in effort, you might really surpass your sister."

He had encountered some problems recently and truly felt that this bodyguard-on-demand APP could come in handy.

If he wasn’t by Lin Yingying’s side, if there were experts on this APP,

he could just tap a button and hire some bodyguards to watch over Lin Yingying.

Lin Shanshan never expected him to say such a thing, and in excitement, she moved over to him, grabbed his arm, and said, "Brother-in-law, do you really think so?"

After so many days of entrepreneurship, this was the first time Lin Shanshan had heard such affirmation, and one could imagine how excited she was.

Long Fei answered with a smile, "Why would I lie to you? Just a couple of days ago, your sister and I made a fortune. If you need funds, just say the word."

Lin Shanshan shook her head, touched by his offer, "I don’t need money for now. Wenwen and I just rented an office space. We’ll talk about it once everything’s on the right track."

Long Fei nodded, having great confidence in his little sister-in-law’s business acumen.

Lin Yingying had taken a shower, and at that moment, she came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

Seeing Lin Shanshan hugging Long Fei, she frowned and asked, "What are you two doing?"

Long Fei quickly moved away from Lin Shanshan and coughed twice, saying, "We were discussing business."

Lin Shanshan stuck out her tongue and followed up with a giggle, "Yes, discussing business!"

Lin Yingying sat down across from them, crossed her fair, long legs, and said with disbelief, "Discussing business while hugging each other?"

Long Fei was left speechless by the questioning and glanced at Lin Shanshan.

Lin Shanshan, confident as ever, teased back, "Sister, are you jealous?"

"Yes, now go to bed!"

Lin Yingying gave her a glance.

Lin Shanshan shrugged her shoulders, made a mischievous smile at Long Fei, scratched her little hand, and bounced back to her bedroom.

The Bald Dog came over whining, as if complaining to her, and jumped onto the sofa to nuzzle against Lin Yingying’s thigh.

Long Fei frowned at the sight, subtly gripping a sunflower seed in his hand.

The Bald Dog, as if sensing something, promptly separated from Lin Yingying and lay down obediently on the side.

Lin Yingying hugged her arms and asked Long Fei, "I’ve been with you in the mountains all day today, you’ve got to share with me if you’ve found anything, right?"

"OK!"

Long Fei snapped his fingers, relieved she didn’t press the matter further, and he quickly changed the subject.

He took out the Spirit Stone Formation Plate, lifted a Jade Arhat, and demonstrated to Lin Yingying, "If everything is normal, just place this thing in the Array Plate, and our house will be enveloped in a thick fog!"

"Let’s see!"

Lin Yingying was utterly skeptical—a lousy wooden carving with a stone attached was supposed to create a thick fog? That’s just nonsense.

This was Long Fei’s first time playing with it, and honestly, he was not certain either.

He fitted the bottom of the Jade Arhat into the Array Plate; the Arhat sat cross-legged with a base of about ten centimeters in diameter.

The carpenter Liu Jinsuo had found for him was very professional, fitting it in perfect seamlessness.

The two stared at each other, eyes locked onto the Array Plate above.

Lin Yingying tightened her brows, "There’s no reaction?"

Long Fei also furrowed his brows tightly, unsure where the problem had arisen.

Just as he was about to pick it up for inspection, he suddenly found that he couldn’t see anything around him.

"Fog!"

Long Fei cried out in surprise and reached out to touch in front of him.

Fog appeared out of thin air; he had succeeded.

Mysterious Light lit up on the pattern of the Array Plate.

It was like the moment a circuit board is powered, tearing over the room’s water vapor and gathering it into a thick fog around him.

Long Fei called out, "Yingying, can you see this?"

After sleeping on it overnight, he had even changed the way he addressed her.

Lin Yingying, sitting opposite him, shouted, "Long Fei, where are you?"

She was filled with shock, as she could not see him despite being only two steps away.

Groping around, she tried to walk two steps forward.

Just a moment ago, the coffee table was right in front of her, but now she couldn’t feel it, as if everything had disappeared into the fog.

Lin Yingying grew anxious, and shouted in her gentle voice, "You blockhead, big lunkhead, hurry up and dismantle this formation!"

She felt as if she was the only person left in the world.

Before her words faded, the fog dissipated.

She and Long Fei, back-to-back, quickly separated after sensing each other, both startled.

Long Fei placed the Array Plate and the Jade Arhat on the coffee table and sat down, staring at Lin Yingying wide-eyed.

Lin Yingying asked him, "What happened, can the fog actually block out sound, too?"

Long Fei replied, "It’s not just sound. I was clearly only two steps away from you, but when I reached out, I couldn’t touch you."

"That’s strange."

Lin Yingying stared at the Array Plate, finding it more and more miraculous as she looked.

The Bald Dog lay on the sofa, uttering a bored humph twice, seemingly unimpressed with the spectacle.

Long Fei pondered carefully, this formation was known as the Nine Curves Mist Maze Formation.

Legend had it that during the great battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, Chi You deployed this formation, blocking the Yellow Emperor’s vast army.

With assistance from the Celestial Realms Mysterious Lady, the Yellow Emperor broke the formation using a sacred-level compass.

The power of this formation was unimaginable.

He analyzed that perhaps the mist could condense into ice at any moment. Not only could it block sound, but when a person stepped on it, they would automatically be diverted by the floating ice.

Just a while ago, he clearly felt his feet slipping as he moved.

If an assassin were to come and become trapped in this formation,

unless the Spiritual Energy in the Jade Arhat was depleted, they wouldn’t be able to escape.

Lin Yingying, who initially didn’t believe in such mystical nonsense, now had no choice but to believe after seeing it with her own eyes.

She looked at Long Fei, thinking he was no ordinary person.

Seeing her expression, Long Fei teased, "Don’t fall for me; I’m just this handsome, this cool, this unfathomable!"

Nonchalantly, he ruffled his hair with his hand.

Unable to resist, Lin Yingying giggled and kicked him.

Her fair, slender leg was captivating, and Long Fei reached out to grab her ankle.

With her face flushed, Lin Yingying protested, "What are you doing, let go!"

The pose was highly indecent, as she was wrapped in just a bath towel.

With her right leg raised, the inside of the bath towel faced directly towards Long Fei.
