Chapter 1247: Chapter 1247: Arranging the Women
Because Dantian was ruined, Mingyue had been staying together with Li Jing and Shi Yu since returning to the special security bureau, and the three women had become close friends who shared everything.
From the power of Mingyue, Li Jing and Shi Yu had gained a whole new understanding of Ye Luo.
At this moment, the three women were in the room playing cards to pass time, when unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Three light taps, and Mingyue, who was closest to the door, shouted, "Who is it? Don’t disturb us if it’s nothing important."
"So what if it is something important?"
A voice came through, causing the three women to abruptly look up.
Mingyue ran straight for the door.
The door opened, and Ye Luo appeared at the doorway with Zhao Yirou beside him.
"You, why did you only just get back!"
Mingyue looked at Ye Luo with a somewhat melancholic gaze.
Meanwhile, Shi Yu and Li Jing glanced at Ye Luo and then at Zhao Yirou, their minds filled with curiosity.
Of course, Ye Luo wasn’t about to worry about these minor issues right now. When he got back, he planned to leave these women in the care of other women. Right now, Ye Luo really wasn’t in the mood to deal with too much. The matter of Corpse King Palace had been weighing on Ye Luo’s mind, and moreover, he had just learned that the Corpse King Palace was causing trouble in hundreds of places at the same time, which worried him even more.
What on earth did the Corpse King Palace want to do?
"Alright, Mingyue, now is not the time for this. Go notify Director Zhao for me, ask Director Zhao to immediately contact all key authorities involved with the Corpse King Palace issue, including Elder Shi. I have critical matters that I must report to them in person. Have them convene an emergency meeting!"
Seeing the grave expression on Ye Luo’s face, Mingyue understood that this situation was by no means simple.
You see, Ye Luo was always carefree and seldom serious, but whenever Ye Luo was serious, it meant something significant was about to happen!
"Okay, I’ll go right now!"
Mingyue didn’t know why Ye Luo was asking him to notify Zhao Gang, but since Ye Luo had said it, Mingyue would do just that.
As soon as Mingyue left, Ye Luo abruptly pulled Zhao Yirou in front of him.
"Alright, let me introduce you all. This is Li Jing, this is Shi Yu, and this, is Zhao Yirou."
"Shi Yu, Yirou is just like you, also a seed of the Corpse King Palace!"
When Ye Luo uttered these words, the two women immediately looked at each other!
They both were seeds!
Shi Yu didn’t initially know that she was a seed, but as the situation with the Corpse King Palace erupted and with the emergence of Death Qi, she naturally found out.
She even learned that she was supposed to have died over a decade ago!
Even the memories she had, even the mountain village she had seen, supposedly no longer existed, and her parents were nothing more than zombie puppets created by the Corpse King Palace using special methods!
All this, Shi Yu had already learned, and for that, she had cried for a long, long time.
Now, seeing Zhao Yirou, Shi Yu felt a sense of shared misfortune!
Of course, Zhao Yirou felt similarly in her heart, just like Shi Yu.
At least Shi Yu had lost those unfortunate memories; for her, Corpse King Palace was just a strange term she heard from others.
But Zhao Yirou was different; she had experienced it firsthand.
At that moment, the two women, like sisters separated for many years, were already holding hands and beginning to inquire about each other.
Ye Luo had already turned and walked toward Li Jing.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Li Jing and Ye Luo wasn’t as deep as it was with the other women.
Ye Luo and Li Jing were merely fellow passengers on the same plane when he conveniently saved her, making them merely friends.
However, Ao Long had said, Li Jing was of true Phoenix Bloodline, Divine Dragon and Phoenix, a match made in heaven!
Ao Long also said that Ye Luo must win over Li Jing.
Ao Long never spoke without purpose, so Ye Luo naturally understood this.
Moreover, Ye Luo himself felt an inexplicable closeness to Li Jing.
"How do you like it here so far?"
Ye Luo started, asking Li Jing.
With a slight smile, Li Jing responded, "Yes, I’m getting used to it. If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t even know that such extraordinary worlds, like something out of a novel, existed. Everything here is so novel to me. When Mingyue took me around, I saw all sorts of remarkable people. Some could breathe fire, some could manipulate water, and some could even walk through walls! It’s truly fascinating."
Ye Luo smiled faintly. Although Li Jing possessed the true Phoenix Bloodline, as Ao Long had mentioned, she was just an ordinary person without awakening.
"Then, do you wish to obtain such power?"
Ye Luo directly asked Li Jing, determined not to let her slip away.
Divine Dragon and Phoenix were a divinely bestowed match, fated to be together, and their union would surely bring unexpected benefits.
Of course, that was secondary; primarily, it was because Ye Luo felt a mysterious fondness for Li Jing.
Li Jing’s eyes lit up, "Can I also gain such power?"
Li Jing looked at Ye Luo incredulously. Knowing the strength of the Earth Group members, she had only felt envy, never daring to hope!
But now, Ye Luo’s words shook her, presenting an opportunity right before her eyes!
Since she was of the true Phoenix Bloodline, how could she lack the desire to become stronger? Thus, Li Jing had long harbored this hope.
Even in the past, she enjoyed reading various martial arts or fantasy novels, dreaming that one day, she would gain great power, and now the opportunity had arrived.
"I want it! I want to gain great power!"
Before Ye Luo could respond, Li Jing had already blurted out her desire.
In Li Jing’s eyes, Ye Luo saw an eagerness that couldn’t wait, a thirst for power, and even a glimpse of a burning flame!
The blood of the Phoenix began to ignite!
"Good, as long as you’re willing. All three of you, come here. Once Mingyue returns, I’ll have her take you to my new home. Shi Yu probably knows about it already. You all must go there and cultivate well. Of course, Shi Yu and Yirou, you don’t have to worry. I will figure out a way to deal with the seeds within you."
Ye Luo addressed the three women, who naturally would not refuse.
Shi Yu had no one else to rely on but Ye Luo now.
Li Jing craved power, and in her eyes, only Ye Luo could grant it to her!
As for Zhao Yirou, there was even less to say. Already being Ye Luo’s woman, how could she possibly refuse Ye Luo’s arrangements!
...
Moments later, Mingyue had returned, and after Zhao Gang learned of the messages relayed by Mingyue, he immediately contacted Elder Shi and others. At this moment, Elder Shi and others were already waiting for Ye Luo, and Mingyue had come to inform Ye Luo.
"Ye Luo, the chief wants you over immediately to meet a few people!"
"Alright, Mingyue, you immediately take the three of them to the Mysterious Valley. I need to handle some matters first but tell everyone I’ll return soon."
