Chapter 456: Chapter 452: Sending You an Invitation

”Honey, you’re right.”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Bai Zhiqing appreciatively, nodded, and continued, ”I indeed want to leverage the power of the Rose Society. Even though Bai’s Group is strong, it’s ultimately a public entity. This time, although I have eliminated Ye Lang, deterring those assassins and mercenaries crazy for the bounty, the truly terrifying individuals aren’t these assassins and mercenaries. Their strength is formidable, but they are merely scattered forces, barely worth mentioning, easily annihilated with a flip of the hand.”

”The real threat to us comes from other forces, like the Heavenly God who posted the bounty on you. They crush these mercenaries in both power and strength. Once they make a move, it will be a full-scale assault, catching us completely off guard. Perhaps, on the street, any ordinary person we meet could be out to kill us. They won’t give us time to grow our power. Instead of wasting time, why not support a power to help us build Modu into an impregnable fortress?”

”As long as Modu is under our control, even if they want to make a move, we could be aware of their actions in advance, strike first, and annihilate them,”

Lu Tianxing spoke slowly, his face tinted with seriousness. What truly worried him weren’t the assassins or mercenaries but the families and sects in China—forces with deep roots and astonishing strength, all guarded by a group of persistent old-guard with equally incredible strength. Although some might accept death calmly, others would do everything possible to continue living. Despite the legend of the Four Symbols Ring being elusive, to prolong life, regardless of its truth, these individuals would stop at nothing to capture Bai Zhiqing and obtain the Xuanwu Ring from her.

It was these persistent old-guard that were the most terrifying. Better to err on the side of caution. Whether the Four Symbols Ring could open the Ancient Qin Qi Refiner’s Tomb or if there was indeed a cultivation technique for immortality inside, mere rumors would keep them from passing up this opportunity. Once these persistent old-guard acted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Bai’s Group was indeed strong in Modu, but in the eyes of these well-established families, Bai’s Group was just like an infant learning to walk trying to play tug-of-war with a strongman—utterly overmatched.

Although his strength was formidable, and Bai Zhiqing had the protection of Fu Tu and Tie Niu, even a tiger might doze; if a mythic-level warrior merely detained them, Bai Zhiqing would undoubtedly die.

From the time he annihilated the Sword Alliance, he had planned to assist Rose in making the Rose Society the leading force in Modu. Although he had the backing of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, they were too distant to quench immediate thirst, and they couldn’t massively enter China without first facing a backlash from the Yanhuang Group.

The Yanhuang Group would never sit idle watching the Netherworld Mercenary Corps stir up trouble within Chinese territory; otherwise, Ye Lang wouldn’t have shrank back and allied with the Wang Family, knowing well that once his whereabouts were found, the Yanhuang Group would act. The mythic realm might be strong, but the hidden strength of the Yanhuang Group’s old-guard was no weaker.

This was precisely why Lu Tianxing was determined to form the Rose Society. Since the Netherworld Mercenary Corps couldn’t enter China, he would create a power to control the Underworld of Modu, form an impeccable surveillance network, seizing control of everything. This time, he intended to use the Wang Family to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, smoothing the path for the Rose Society’s expansion.

”Only then can we avoid being passive. If we knew in advance about the movements of the Night Wolf Mercenary Group and where these assassins were, honey, do you think we’d be in such a mess as before?” Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing as he spoke.

Since eliminating the Sword Alliance, he had been strategizing, moving on to the Wang Family, and once the Sky Alliance was gone, it would be the time for the Rose Society to truly control Modu.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing understood the stakes and didn’t argue, instead frowning and saying, ”Tianxing, are you sure Huangfu Meigui is a reliable partner? That woman is too cunning; a slight misstep and we might suffer a loss.”

”Don’t worry, don’t you trust my abilities? Since I can help Rose Society become the number one force in Modu, I’m not afraid of them turning against me. Rest easy.”

Lu Tianxing gently stroked Bai Zhiqing’s jet-black hair and chuckled, ”Honey, I’m hungry now. Didn’t you say you wanted to make chicken soup for me? How about making some for me now?”

”What, you want me to make chicken soup for you?”

Bai Zhiqing’s eyes widened. She had merely said that off the cuff earlier because she was annoyed with Rose, not knowing how to actually make chicken soup—though she could put the chicken in water.

”Honey, what do you mean? Was what you said earlier meant to deceive me?”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing feigning surprise, sighed and said, ”Never mind if you won’t cook, I’ll just drink the chicken soup Rose sent. It smells quite fragrant, should taste good.”

Seeing Lu Tianxing reaching for the chicken soup Rose sent, Bai Zhiqing abruptly stood up, ”No way, you can’t drink this soup. What if she poisoned it? It’s just making chicken soup, no big deal. You just stay put in the hospital, I’ll go back now and make it for you. You shouldn’t drink this soup. Weiwei has been craving it lately, I’ll just take this soup back for Weiwei, she’s been longing for it for a while.”

Bai Zhiqing looked at the thermos that Rose had sent, as though harboring deep-seated resentment, fiercely snatched the thermos from Lu Tianxing’s hands, and strode out triumphantly.

”Isn’t it just making chicken soup? What’s the big deal? If Huangfu Meigui can do it, Bai Zhiqing can do it too.”

Watching Bai Zhiqing’s disappearing figure at the door, Lu Tianxing felt a warm current through his heart. He could tell that Bai Zhiqing truly cared about him, unlike the feigned tenderness of the past, meant only to appease the elders. Otherwise, Bai Zhiqing wouldn’t have snatched away the chicken soup he was meant to drink and decided to make it herself.

Once upon a time, a goddess who stood high above all would personally cook for a man, which meant she was gradually opening her heart to him.

The ice had been broken, so how far off could the wedding night be?

After Bai Zhiqing left, Lu Tianxing took out a phone from beside his pillow and dialed directly, ”Hello, Tie Niu.”

”Boss, what’s up? Don’t worry, I’ve already called Mandala and told her to wipe out the Night Wolf Mercenary Group. By now, the Night Wolf Mercenary Group has probably become a thing of the past, except for a few small fries. I formally announce to you that the Night Wolf Mercenary Group is now—erased from this world.”

Tie Niu’s unmistakably loud voice came through the phone, tinged with a bloodthirsty tone which quickly turned into a sleazy laugh.

”Hehe, boss, this time you played the hero and rescued the damsel. Did sister-in-law get especially touched? Have you guys planned when to have a little ’Judge’ yet? Hehe, boss, I have a favor to ask. If you have a son, how about you let me take care of him? I guarantee I’d turn your son into a real tough guy just like me, sure to be a hit with thousands of girls, making countless women go crazy. How about letting me be your son’s master?”

”Beat it, as far as you can think of, and drop this idea,”

Lu Tianxing bluntly rejected Tie Niu’s suggestion. If he let Tie Niu teach his son, Lu could already foresee his son becoming a muscle-bound brute with a shiny bald head irritating him, and turning out absolutely goofy and annoying.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s response, Tie Niu said with a look of grievance, ”Boss, you’re breaking my heart. Don’t you think my shiny bald head is the best kind of status symbol? One look from a distance and you can see it—no greetings needed. Just put on some styling gel, and it’s perfectly sleek and shiny.”

”So that’s why you’re still single,”

”Boss, do you have to knock me down? Being bald is great, smooth and slick, no need even to wash hair, no dandruff, that’s confidence. Besides, what’s wrong with being single? It’s great being single. Every night is a festival, every night a new groom. Changing wives every day—what’s not to love?”

”Yeah, being bald is pretty cool. It sounds really crisp when knocked on.”

Tie Niu felt it was necessary to correct Lu Tianxing’s prejudice against baldness and was gearing up emotionally to speak, when suddenly Fu Tu’s voice rang out next to him, ”Tie Niu, cut the crap and ask the boss why he’s calling.”

”Fu Tu, you really have no sense of humor. What else could the boss want, but to show off his lovey-dovey relationship with sister-in-law? Flaunting love, that splits fast.”

Tie Niu grumbled unhappily a few times, ”Boss, what do you need?”

”Tie Niu, deliver a Judge’s Mark to the Wang Family for me,” Lu Tianxing said gravely.

”What? Boss, you... you’re planning to use the Judge’s Mark? You can’t be joking!”

Tie Niu’s eyes widened, and his voice filled with disbelief. Ever since the Netherworld Mercenary Corps had strengthened, the Judge’s Mark rarely appeared, reserved only for top-tier forces like the Night Wolf Mercenary Corps.

In Tie Niu’s mind, the Wang Family was merely an ant, easily crushed underfoot. Sending a Yama Sticker to them was too high an honor; in his view, there was absolutely no need for that hassle. Just storm their doorstep and beat them to a pulp—that’s what a real man would do. Sending them a Judge’s Mark was giving them too much credit.
