Chapter 477 Jing
Unlike their previous larval stage, after swallowing the python, these mosquito larvae seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis, all growing wings and becoming able to fly.
Long Nier held the jade bottle she had seen earlier in her hands, her lips curled up, and she kept making strange syllables.
Under these syllables, the small flying insects rushed into the jade bottle one after another.
About two minutes later, all the flying insects rushed into the jade bottle.
Long Nier quickly sealed the jade bottle. The moment she finished sealing it, she could no longer hold on and collapsed.
"Nier!"
I hugged her tightly.
I noticed something was wrong with her a long time ago, but she was collecting Gu worms, so there was nothing I could do.
"fine!"
Long Nier shook her head, panting, and said, "I've used up too much energy, I'll replenish it later!"
"Give!"
I took out a pill to replenish vital energy and fed it to Long Nier.
Long Nier ate it and felt much better after a while.
"Thirteen, give me one too!" Meng Guizi said weakly.
"Brother Meng, it's my fault, I forgot about you!" I quickly took out a pill and handed it to Meng Guizi.
If it weren't for Meng Guizi holding back this giant python, we would all be dead here.
"Meng Guizi, you've been hiding well!" Li Donglin said meaningfully, looking at Meng Guizi who was covered in blood.
"I saved your lives, so what's wrong with hiding a little deeper?" Meng Guizi retorted without any politeness, while wiping the blood off his face.
He had exerted too much force earlier, and countless capillaries in Meng Guizi's body had burst, leaving him covered in blood.
"Damn it, I didn't blame you. This time I owe you my life!" Li Donglin laughed and cursed.
"Speak, what do you want by following me here?"
After he finished scolding him, Li Donglin asked.
This time, unlike the questioning before entering the secret vault, Li Donglin was genuinely asking questions.
The reason is simple: Meng Guizi really risked his life to help us.
With his abilities, he could summon a spirit to possess him, open the iron gate, and run away.
He didn't run away; instead, he came back and risked his life to help us.
When judging a person, don't look at what they say, but look at what they do.
What can I ask for?
Meng Guizi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not short of money. I heard that the Japanese had looted a lot of antiques and treasures, and I thought there might be some belonging to our Tiger family among them, so I thought I'd follow them to see if there really were any!"
"I've been able to establish myself and make a name for myself in Putrajaya over the years, all thanks to Tiger!"
After he finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"Okay, go take a look. You can choose first if you find something you like!" Li Donglin said.
After saying that, he looked at us and said, "Let's not just sit there. Let's see if there are any magical artifacts or anything like that. Let's pick one out first!"
"Um!"
We didn't refuse.
We don't want gold bricks, but we'll have to be selective about the ritual implements.
The Japanese plundered Northeast China ruthlessly back then, taking everything from gold and silver jewelry to antiques and rare treasures.
They went to choose, but I didn't go over. Nier wasn't feeling well.
Even after taking that qi-boosting pill, her face remained pale, her eyes were lifeless, and her body felt weak and cold. I could tell that if I hadn't been supporting her, she wouldn't have been able to stand up.
An hour later, after everyone had made their selections, we opened the iron gate.
To our surprise, Lao Fang didn't run away. He sat there dumbfounded, leaning against the iron gate. We didn't know if he was scared out of his wits or what. When he saw us, his eyes widened and he burst into tears.
Five days later, we boarded a plane back to Beijing.
After we came out, the military took over Vault No. 8, and all the relevant personnel were put on gag orders.
During the extra five days, Fatty Lin performed a ritual to deliver the souls of the prisoners, only ending when all the laborers in the jail were released.
After getting off the plane in Beijing, I made a phone call to my fourth wife.
"Thirteen, where have you guys been these past few days? I can't get through to your phones."
After the call connected, Fourth Wife asked with some concern.
"Sister Ling, we've gone to the old forest in Northeast China. There's no signal there!" I said, feigning weakness.
"What are you going there for?" Fourth Wife asked.
"I fought a giant python that had become a spirit, and I almost died. I'm okay, but Ni'er's life essence was severely depleted, and she'll need to recuperate for a while!" I said listlessly.
"what?"
Fourth Wife was a little confused by my statement.
"Are you alright?"
Coming to his senses, Fourth Master asked.
I could tell that Fourth Sister was only half convinced by what I said.
"Nothing serious, just needs some rest. We should return to Hong Kong Island in about two weeks!" I said.
"Sister Ling, did Wu Peiwen put pressure on you?" I asked.
"It's alright, no major problems. They agreed to most of the conditions you proposed, except for some disagreement about the number of schools!" Fourth Aunt said.
"Sister Ling, if they don't agree, just leave them hanging. We'll be back in at least half a month!" Fatty Lin chimed in.
"Alright, you two can focus on recovering. Leave the affairs of Hong Kong to me!" Fourth Wife said.
It's clear that Fourth Wife has reaped considerable benefits; otherwise, she wouldn't have said that.
Less than five minutes after I hung up the phone, it rang again.
I glanced at it; it was Third Master.
"Third Master!"
I gestured to Fatty Lin and answered the call.
"Thirteen, I heard you and Xiao Lin have done something great. Stay a few more days in Beijing this time, I'll throw you a celebration banquet!"
"Third Master, we have to report later, so we might not have time today. How about tomorrow? Fatty and I will come to pay you a visit and check Xiao Bao's pulse while we're at it!"
I said.
"Alright, tomorrow it is!" Third Master said with a smile.
After hanging up, I glanced at Fatty Lin and said, "We just got off the plane and Third Master called. He knows what we did. Really..."
I'm a little speechless. Keeping it a secret? What a load of rubbish!
"I'm used to it. There are no secrets in this industry!"
Li Donglin was already used to this situation and said nonchalantly.
"Sigh!" I didn't say anything, I just sighed.
"Thirteen, Fatty, after this incident, you two have a get-out-of-jail-free card. As long as you don't do anything against the country and the nation, no one will dare to touch you. And if anyone does, I'll hold them accountable!"
Li Donglin continued.
"Thanks, Brother Li!" I said.
"No need for thanks. Our friendship is like that—we've been through thick and thin together!"
"Yeah, we've been through thick and thin together, slept in the same bed with women!" Fatty Lin chimed in.
"Damn, your mouth changes as soon as you open it!" Li Donglin was smoking when he was almost choked by Fatty Lin's words.
"Donglin, this kid is full of tricks, he's been up to no good since he was a teenager!" Seeing this, Blind Zuo laughed and dug up Fatty Lin's past.
"Blind Zuo, I shouldn't have saved you back then!"
Having his past exposed, Fatty Lin began to fight back.
