Chapter 86 The News Brought by Zhao Li

The miserable and chilling screams spread all around, and Li Quan felt that the surroundings were getting colder and colder. The figure of the female ghost suddenly appeared in front of Li Quan with the cold wind. She stood face to face with Li Quan with bloody facial features and a hideous look on her face.

Li Quan felt a chill rushing up his forehead, his laughter stopped abruptly, his original madness was like a deflated balloon. Although he had made up his mind to die, Liu Tingting suddenly appeared and was so close to him that he froze in place under the erosion of Yin Qi, unable to move even a finger.

"Wow! You are so brave. You dare to show up after deceiving us. Let me let you taste my copper coin sword!" Tang Xue stood up excitedly and scratched her palm with the copper coin sword, leaving a line of blood. The blood carried Tang Xue's thoughts and controlled the copper coin sword to fly towards Liu Tingting.

Liu Tingting didn't care and stuck to the motionless Li Quan. The man and the ghost merged together. The copper coin sword emitting red light hit Li Quan. Li Quan's body suddenly trembled continuously and Liu Tingting let out a painful scream.

"This must be a ghost possessing the body." Tang Xue exclaimed. The blood on the copper coin sword became brighter and flew back into her hand as Tang Xue waved her hand.

"This is our family affair, why are you interfering!" Li Quan uttered Liu Tingting's harsh voice.

Zheng Wenjie felt a chill and said directly: "No wonder your Yin Qi suddenly surged almost twice as much. You can say this, it turns out that there is something wrong with your brain. It's not your fault."

Gong Ruomei said nothing, but her pupils had changed color and her fangs were extended.

"Let Xiaoxue do it, don't do it." Zheng Wenjie stopped Gong Ruomei: "Didn't you see how eager she was to try?"

Gong Ruomei retracted her fangs and said unhappily, "This vicious woman, who is greedy, not only harmed someone else's wife, but also killed her own child. She should be horribly killed."

Liu Tingting knew that she was no match for the three men and had no intention of showing up. However, Li Quan's words made her unable to calm down. It was like a needle stabbing her heart. The last sentence was even more unacceptable to her.

"You are not allowed to interfere in our family affairs. Li Quan, I want you to be inseparable from me forever, and to be with me even in death!"

Liu Tingting howled with resentment and was about to insert Li Quan's hand into her chest, but her wrist was tightly grasped by Tang Xue. Liu Tingting only felt an irresistible force coming from Tang Xue's hand.

The Yin energy in Li Quan's hands was also dispersed by the huge force, and then there was a sharp pain in the chest, as if hit hard. Liu Tingting felt that she was trapped in darkness and could no longer maintain the state of possession, and left Li Quan's body.

Li Quan also fell unconscious on the ground. A copper coin sword stained with Tang Xue's blood was deeply inserted into Li Quan's chest and pierced into his heart.

The negative energy around had dissipated, and Liu Tingting's originally solid soul had become transparent, but she no longer cared. She smiled happily as she looked at Li Quan lying on the ground bleeding.

"Hahahaha, Li Quan, why don't you believe me? I really love you."

"But it doesn't matter anymore. When we get to the underworld, we can still be together, forever!"

After Liu Tingting finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot. Gong Ruomei took out Xie Wei and cut her palm directly. The blood smeared Xie Wei red. Xie Wei suddenly shot out a red light. Liu Tingting, who had just escaped, had no time to react and was enveloped by the red light and taken into Xie Wei.

Gong Ruomei did not hesitate and directly raised the coffin nail and nailed it on Xiewei Tianmen. Xiewei trembled slightly and turned into dense dust which dissipated in the wind in Gong Ruomei's hand.

Tang Xue snorted: "You still want to run away? You're dreaming."

Gong Ruomei put the coffin nails into the suitcase expressionlessly, looked at the fallen Li Quan, sighed and said to Zheng Wenjie: "I want to save him. No matter who he is or what wrong he has done, his feelings for his wife are sincere."

Tang Xue curled her lips and walked forward to draw out the copper coin sword, looking at Li Quan who was bleeding with some disapproval: "His wife is innocent, he deserves it. She has already given birth to a child and she still says she knows nothing. How could she have given birth to a child if he didn't want to."

"When I was a kid, my neighbor was also named Quan. Uncle Quan was drunk every day. One day, my brother and I heard Uncle Quan and his wife quarreling. His wife scolded Uncle Quan for drinking so much that he couldn't get an erection. Why should we blame him for finding other men?"

Hearing this, Gong Ruomei looked at Tang Xue in shock. She still remembered that one day Tang Xue asked her why they didn't sleep all night when Zheng Wenjie was at home, and kept making some "hmm" or "ah" sounds.

Gong Ruomei still remembers that she thought Tang Xue didn't understand, and suddenly felt a little shy. She instinctively explained that she was practicing. At that time, Tang Xue kept asking questions, making her answer reluctantly.

Tang Xue snorted and continued, "She's already drunk to the point of being unconscious. How can she get hard and have a baby? She sounds so innocent, and it's just a matter of going with the flow."

Tang Xue looked at Zheng Wenjie and Gong Ruomei to know whether they agreed with what she said, but when she saw Gong Ruomei looking at her with shame and anger, she realized belatedly what she had said.

Tang Xue pulled the corners of her mouth, forcing a smile, and walked around Gong Ruomei step by step, hiding behind Zheng Wenjie. She pulled Zheng Wenjie's clothes and whispered, "Master, please calm the lady down."

Zheng Wenjie looked at Gong Ruomei's red face with a confused look, not knowing whether she was angry or embarrassed. Zheng Wenjie smiled and asked, "What's wrong? How did Xiaoxue make you angry? There's nothing wrong with what you said."

Gong Ruomei looked up: "She asked us what we were doing in the room that day and didn't sleep all night."

Tang Xue stretched out a hand from behind Zheng Wenjie and put her thumb and index finger together: "Don't be angry, I'm just a little curious."

Zheng Wenjie pulled Tang Xue out from behind him and looked at her with admiration: "I am afraid of Gong Er when she gets angry. You are done. You will definitely suffer the consequences when you go home later."

Tang Xue cried out, pointing at Li Quan lying on the ground: "Miss, please save him quickly. He is dying. He only has a little breath left."

Zheng Wenjie thought that Heshengtang had more and more people, and he couldn't keep them all for nothing. Li Quan was a talent who could build a ship and start a shipping business, so it would be appropriate to take him on. When the time comes, he can select seafarers from Heshengtang and send them on board, which will make it convenient to transport supplies to the mainland in a few years.

"Save it. Bringing it back will help business."

Gong Ruomei hummed, took two steps forward and stood beside Li Quan's body, with fangs sticking out of her mouth and her right hand open, pointing at Li Quan's pierced chest.

A surge of vitality flowed into Li Quan's body from Gong Ruomei's palm. After a moment, Li Quan's chest recovered and his breathing gradually returned to normal.

Seeing that Gong Ruomei was about to put away her supernatural power, Tang Xue quickly walked over to support Gong Ruomei, "Miss, are you tired? Let me support you. Saving a man who is halfway to death must have exhausted you."

Gong Ruomei looked at her expressionlessly and said, "From today on, when you have copied Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases 10,000 times, you can go to bed."

Tang Xue sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Gong Ruomei in astonishment. She couldn't imagine how such a cold and beautiful woman could say such vicious words.

"Stop looking at it. Your eyes will pop out if you keep looking. Help your lady get into the car." Zheng Wenjie looked at Tang Xue cheerfully, pulled Li Quan up and threw him into the car.

Looking at the two unconscious drivers, Zheng Wenjie didn't know what to do, so he just spread his hands to Gong Ruomei.

Gong Ruomei pulled away Tang Xue's hand that was supporting her, took out two silver needles and pricked the two of them one by one to wake them up.

...

The first thing Li Quan saw when he woke up was a furry monkey head staring at him. He was so scared that he reached out to hit it, but the monkey dodged him nimbly. He got up and left the room, and saw Lao Jiang and Liu Lingzhi practicing with swords, then he realized what was going on.

Li Quan came to the hall with gratitude, quietly waiting for Zheng Wenjie to come out, wanting to express his gratitude in person. Soon, he saw the tall and strong Lin Bao walking in from the gate with Zhang Tianci and Lin Liangchun. Li Quan gratefully held Zhang Tianci and thanked him for introducing the master who saved his life. Zhang Tianci responded calmly and laughed with Li Quan. When Zhao Lei, who was dressed in a well-dressed suit, also came to the hall, Zheng Wenjie entered the hall in a Tang suit.

Zheng Wenjie looked at them and asked, "Did anyone encounter any problems during the days I was away?"

Zhao Lei stood up excitedly: "Master Zheng, everything is fine, and I got the news that the city designer from the foreigners has arrived in Hong Kong Island and is preparing to re-plan the city construction of Hong Kong Island."

"I have given a lot of money to the foreign officials, and we will be able to take over some of the construction sites in due time."

Zheng Wenjie nodded: "You can handle these things yourself. The college students you found are very good. It is wise to use money to hire people who know how to do the work. I will give you another one million Hong Kong dollars. Once you get the construction site, you can get a loan from the bank. Be brave and don't be afraid."

Zheng Wenjie waved his hand to signal Zhao Lei to sit down, then looked at Lin Bao and Zhang Tianci and said with a smile: "How are the two brothers of the Hou family?"

Zhang Tianci was about to stand up when Zheng Wenjie motioned for him to sit down. He sat down obediently and said, "Both brothers of the Hou family have already entered the police academy."

"When the time comes, we can spend some money to get them all to Kowloon. If there's a chance, we can spend money to get them promoted. After ten years or so, Hong Kong Island will still belong to the foreigners, but Kowloon will be ours."

Li Quan was somewhat frightened when he heard this, but he did not think it was a fantasy. He could accept any shocking words from a master of exorcising demons like Zheng Wenjie.

He was horrified as to why he could sit here and listen to these words.

Zheng Wenjie looked at Li Quan, not caring what he would think. If there was a problem, he could just waste some time and change one: "You said that as long as I saved you, you would be willing to do anything."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Quan, who nodded calmly: "Yes, Master...Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Wenjie smiled and said, "I will also give you one million. I only want 30% of the profit from your shipping business, but all seafarers going out to sea must be selected from Heshengtang, and matters at the dock must also be handed over to Heshengtang. In addition, when you can buy a cargo ship, don't hesitate and buy it."

Li Quan was a little surprised. He thought Zheng Wenjie wanted him to hand over all the business. "That's no problem. When the time comes, let the seafarers train for a few more days so that they can get started with simple things. Now I have seven small cargo ships. One of them is still in the UK and can only be delivered in two years."

Zheng Wenjie hummed: "We are all family here. We should help each other if we have any difficulties. If you can't solve them, come to me. Do you understand?"

……

Zheng Wenjie was lying comfortably in a rocking chair in the backyard, basking in the sun with his eyes closed. There was a small desk next to him, and Tang Xue, whose face was stained by ink, was still copying the Treatise on Febrile Diseases stroke by stroke.

Seeing that Tang Xue was not lazy, Gong Ruomei brought the tray over and placed it on the table. She ignored Tang Xue's pitiful appearance and handed a bowl of still hot blood to Zheng Wenjie's mouth: "It was just connected. It's just a fracture. I cured him and prescribed some blood-replenishing medicine for him. Try it."

Zheng Wenjie opened his mouth with a cry, letting a bowl of blood flow into his mouth.

Tang Xue swallowed and saw that there was still a bowl of water on the tray. She looked at Zheng Wenjie expectantly, repeating to herself, "You're full, you're full."

The previous two days were also two bowls. Zheng Wenjie drank one bowl and it was not enough, which made her hungry for two days. If she hadn't been able to get some old blood, she would not have been able to maintain her life.

Gong Ruomei put the empty bowl back on the tray. Seeing Tang Xue staring at Zheng Wenjie with a strange look in her eyes, she imitated Zheng Wenjie and flicked Tang Xue's forehead with two fingers. She then put the remaining bowl on the table: "Drink it quickly. After drinking it, continue copying. It's been a month and you've only copied more than 800 times. Let's see how long you can finish copying."

Tang Xue happily drank up the blood, burped with satisfaction and said, "I will definitely finish copying it!"

Zheng Wenjie suddenly opened his eyes with a smile on his face: "I have a guest coming, I'll go meet him."

Gong Ruomei was stunned and asked, "What guest?"

Zheng Wenjie stood up and walked towards the front yard: "It's Zhao Li, the soul ferryman I told you about."

...

Zhao Li looked at Zheng Wenjie with a complicated expression and said, "The Hades asked me to come here. She wants to invite you to the underworld."

Zheng Wenjie asked in confusion: "Why did you invite me to the underworld? Did you tell her everything I said?"

Zhao Li shook his head: "No, she has been paying attention to you since the death of Wuxian. She still remembers those Japanese you killed."

"The underworld won't care about killing people, but you devoured hundreds of thousands of souls at the time. According to the rules of Hades, they should have immediately organized ferrymen to kill you, and according to the rules she set, your soul should be scattered. But the voices of the ferrymen were all suppressed by her."

Zheng Wenjie thought about it. Zhao Li meant that he had violated the rules set by Hades, but she not only did not punish him but suppressed the matter. Was it a kindness for her to invite him to the underworld at this time?
"You're asking me to go to the underworld. There has to be a reason, right? Why?"

"Pluto said he wants to cooperate with you."

Zheng Wenjie raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"

Zhao Li shook his head: "I don't know. I've been thinking about it all the time but still can't figure it out."

"Pluto has been around since ancient times. I have been working as her ferryman for nearly a thousand years, but I have never been able to see clearly what she is thinking."

Zheng Wenjie smiled and said, "Since I've been invited, if I don't go, wouldn't that mean I'm scared? But since she's been paying attention to me, why doesn't she come to see me directly?"

"As far as I know, Hades has never left the underworld."

Zhao Li warned seriously: "You have to be careful, Hades is not a good person."

"Well, but since she invited me to the underworld to discuss cooperation, she can't possibly harm me, right?"

Zhao Li nodded and said, "The Pluto has never invited anyone, so he should have no ill will towards you, but you still have to be careful of her."

"The Hades has always been high up and looking down on the underworld. There are countless ghosts who have violated her rules and have been punished. Even the ferrymen she personally recruited will not be lenient if they make mistakes."

Zheng Wenjie looked at Zhao Li and laughed: "Why are you more worried than me? Don't worry, I also want to see how powerful Hades is. If I can't afford to offend him, I can just surrender."

Although Zheng Wenjie couldn't understand why Pluto invited him and said it was a cooperation, this was also an opportunity for him to see face to face how powerful the Pluto mentioned by Zhao Li was.
