Chapter 395: Chapter 366 Entering the Dream_1

Just when the Snake King could hardly bear it any longer, He Tiantian quickly changed the subject.

"So, what clues did you find today?" He Tiantian asked. Earlier, when the Snake King returned, he looked dejected, which meant he hadn’t found any useful leads.

But today, when he came back, there was a sly look in the Snake King’s eyes, and his former arrogance showed itself again.

"Ahem!" The Snake King coughed, "Today I found a very important clue. The outpost that Huo Yingjun discovered is a branch organization. We read some people’s memories there and traced the path to their headquarters, also learning about their next plan."

He Tiantian was overjoyed. If that was the case, wiping out those people might resolve everything.

"Where? What plan?" He Tiantian said excitedly. "If we deal with this early, we can go out sooner, shop around, and enjoy ourselves, making our trip here worthwhile."

The Snake King agreed with He Tiantian’s words. Although he wasn’t interested in the things on land, he was quite interested in the things at the bottom of the sea, which could aid his cultivation.

By helping He Tiantian with this issue, he could cultivate in peace instead of wasting his mana searching for information like now.

"It’s at 58 Queens District. That’s the headquarters, and another branch is not in the Black District but at 101 Xin Fang Street in the Chinese district. Their next scheme involves a kidnapping," said the Snake King. "As for who they plan to kidnap, they haven’t decided yet."

He Tiantian remembered watching TV dramas where assassins placed explosives underneath cars.

"Snake King, do you think there could be another possibility?" He Tiantian continued. "What if we stay home and don’t go out, but Anna and Qi Shuliang go out every day? Could they tamper with the cars?"

The Snake King glanced at He Tiantian and said arrogantly, "Are those three mechanics at home idiots? They thoroughly check the car every day, inside and out, top to bottom. Those people won’t find an opportunity. Moreover, even if they bribe someone, at most they could bribe one, not three at the same time, so the likelihood of what you’re saying is very small."

Right, to be prepared is to be forewarned. With the necessary precautions taken, those people won’t use those tactics.

"But kidnapping?" He Tiantian scratched her head. "That also doesn’t seem feasible! Anna and Qi Shuliang are surrounded by many protectors. We’re always in the estate, so those people would have no chance to strike!"

"You forgot, in half a month’s time, Qi Zhengmin will have his end-of-term exams, and Qi Zhenghan is graduating from high school and will be taking college entrance exams!" said the Snake King. "In that case, they’ll definitely need to go out, and that’s when there will be an opportunity."

He Tiantian had a sudden realization. Since she didn’t attend school, she had forgotten about Qi Zhengmin and Qi Zhenghan’s schooling.

"Well, since we know in advance, we could just tell them not to stray from their bodyguards and increase security to avoid such an incident," said He Tiantian. "As for a headquarters and a branch, how should I leak the information out?"

"We agreed before that I’m only responsible for the search. How you explain it is your problem," the Snake King said unscrupulously, and then closed his eyes to begin cultivating.

"Snake King, don’t go, wait up, let’s discuss something!" He Tiantian pondered and realized that no matter what, she couldn’t convey this information.

As soon as she lied, it would require thousands more lies to cover it up.

"What is it?" The Snake King was resting with his eyes closed and was not very enthusiastic.

He Tiantian had an idea and said, "Snake King, you can read other people’s memories. Can you also implant the information you’ve obtained into someone else’s memory?"

"Sure!" the Snake King agreed, "But it consumes a lot of mana, and I usually don’t like to use it."

With a solution in hand, He Tiantian smiled slyly and said, "Snake King, look, I’ve been scared lately and lost some weight. Next month, you won’t be able to get as much Sacred Blood as you did last month."

The Snake King opened his eyes and sized up He Tiantian, noticing that she indeed looked more haggard than before.

"What should we do?" The Snake King was most concerned about this; although the Spiritual Energy from outside was useful, without the supply of Sacred Blood, even an abundance of Spiritual Energy couldn’t be converted into the type that he could use for cultivation.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "The best solution is to resolve this matter as soon as possible. You should transmit the information you’ve obtained into Qi Shuliang’s mind. That way, we can resolve the issue quickly. If I get my health back next month, I can provide you with Sacred Blood twice."

Hearing about twice, the Snake King’s tongue flickered in and out of his mouth several times, appearing quite greedy.

"Can your body handle it?" the Snake King asked, "I don’t want to be the fool who kills the goose that lays the golden eggs!"

Kills the goose that lays the golden eggs?

That metaphor is a bit strong-flavored!

However, He Tiantian didn’t mind and nodded, "My body can handle it; just need to eat something good to make up for it. Qi Shuliang’s family is so rich; if we don’t eat our fill now, back in our old home we’ll have to make do with chaff and vegetables."

The Snake King’s beady eyes twirled, weighing the pros and cons, and he made a decision, "Okay, I’ll go and transmit now, hopefully, that person hasn’t woken up."

The Snake King left, but Qi Zhengmin by his side hadn’t fallen asleep and inadvertently caught sight of the streak of golden light left behind by the Snake King.

"Sister Tiantian, I saw it again, I saw it again." Qi Zhengmin pressed the switch by her side, and the room became bright.

The Snake King has been careless again!

He Tiantian muttered groggily, "I know, you saw it, you saw the golden light again..."

"Yes, yes, Sister Tiantian, I firmly believe it’s not an illusion," Qi Zhengmin said excitedly, "If it’s not an angel or a fairy from a fairy tale, could it be a deity? Like the kind with each of the Eight Immortals displaying their magical powers?"

He Tiantian picked up a blanket from nearby and threw it over Qi Zhengmin’s head, saying, "And Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor too! Go to sleep now."

He Tiantian’s perfunctory approach didn’t change Qi Zhengmin’s state of excitement. Her eyes wide open, she still wanted to see the golden light; she wanted to make out what that light was exactly.

But fatigue soon overcame her, Qi Zhengmin’s eyes felt sore, and even though she resisted closing them, sleepiness prevailed, and she slowly drifted off to dreamland.

Of course, this was the Snake King’s doing; having made two mistakes already, it would be too foolish to make a third one.

"Is it done?" He Tiantian asked, hoping that the Snake King was more successful this time.

"Done, it’s as if Qi Shuliang had a dream," the Snake King said, "But in the dream, I spoke through Huo Yingjun’s mouth, seamless. Alright, I’m a bit tired, I need to rest. You need to eat more and rest more."

"Mhm, mhm, mhm!" He Tiantian agreed, "Eat lots, rest lots."
