The Demon Lord Forced to Marry the Female Leader

Chapter 248: Counting money until you become weak

Chu Wanning's laughter was clear and melodious, like the sound of water flowing in a mountain stream. Her eyes sparkled with wisdom, as if she could see through all the secrets of people's hearts. She whispered to Fu Qian, her voice carrying:

"I think the same as you do. I also hope that the world will be peaceful and prosperous."

This sentence was like a warm current flowing into Fu Qian's heart. He felt Chu Wan Ning's tacit understanding and trust. He turned his head and looked at Chu Wan Ning, only to see her smile as bright as a flower, as if the sun was shining on her face, making her look even more beautiful.

Their figures shuttled through the night, like two bolts of lightning cutting through the dark sky.

Finally, they rushed back to the headquarters of the Bone Erosion Cult. There were bright lights and a crowd of people, as if they were holding a rally. Chu Wanning and Fu Qian walked through the crowd and came to the room where Dahei was.

Dahei sat in the center of the room, his eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through all illusions and falsehoods. On his shoulder squatted a bone-eating poisonous insect with scorching eyes, which was the leader's clone. As Dahei was a key figure in the sect, the leader also paid close attention to his every move.

Suddenly, the bone-eating poisonous insect flew down from Dahei's shoulder and landed lightly on the storage bag held by Chu Wanning. Its eyes shuttled back and forth on the storage bag, as if looking for something. Chu Wanning held her breath and did not dare to move at all, for fear of disturbing the poisonous insect. The bone-eating poisonous insect seemed to be very satisfied with the contents of the storage bag. After checking the storage bag, it fluttered back to Dahei's shoulder.

Dahei nodded slightly, his figure swayed slightly, and he seemed to be relieved. Chu Wanning saw this and secretly rejoiced in her heart. It seems that the key items of this mission have been approved by the leader, and the next action should be able to proceed smoothly.

Chu Wanning and Fu Qian handed the fairy stone they brought back to Dahei. Dahei took the fairy stone and examined it carefully.

Dahei's fingers slid gently on the surface of the fairy stone, as if he was feeling its texture and quality. His eyes became deeper and brighter, as if he saw the mysteries and secrets contained in the fairy stone.

"Yes, these immortal stones are of high quality, which is exactly what our Bone Erosion Sect needs."

Dahei nodded with satisfaction and said to Chu Wanning and Fu Qian.

Dahei looked at them again, with a hint of approval in his eyes, and began to speak some official polite words:

"I know that you will become my most capable partners. I believe that with your help, the Bone Erosion Cult will usher in an even more glorious future."

Chu Wanning smiled and replied politely:

"We are grateful to the Bone Erosion Sect for giving us a home. We will go all out in the future to better complete the tasks assigned by the sect."

Fu Qian understood that while they were being polite, they were also secretly conveying the message they wanted to convey. Roughly translated, it means something like this.

Dahei: Very good, now you know about the two young ladies in Jinzhou!

Chu Wan Ning: Got it. I will do my best to conduct a more in-depth investigation. Do you have any other clues?

At this point, Dahei said:

"You can take these spirit stones to the accounting office and enter them. You can get a share. Although it's not much, it's a token of the church's appreciation. After that, just wait. The steward has asked the Shigu Sect for help again. The leader is investigating. I will send you out when there is news."

Chu Wanning and Fu Qian looked at each other and understood what Dahei meant. There was no news yet, so they had to wait. Although Dahei might know more, he could not speak freely and truthfully. He could only tell Chu Wanning and Fu Qian what he wanted to do and what he should do in the form of tasks. The only thing that maintained their relationship was the trust they had when they were companions.

If one party does not trust the other, the matter cannot proceed, and may even result in both parties suffering losses or one party being eliminated.

No matter how anxious Chu Wan Ning was, she could only wait patiently for news.

Chu Wanning and Fu Qian looked at each other, and their eyes revealed their understanding of Dahei's deep meaning. They knew that at this moment they could only wait for good news, hoping that Dahei could bring more clues and instructions.

Although Dahei holds many secrets, he cannot speak them out, so he can only use the mission as a pretext to maintain the trust between them that made them fight side by side in the past. This trust is like an invisible bond that ties them together tightly. No matter what difficulties and challenges they face, they will work together to face them together.

Trust is like a fragile string. Once it breaks, cooperation is out of the question and may even lead to tragedy. Chu Wanning knows this very well, so she tries to control her emotions and bury her anxiety and uneasiness deep in her heart. She tells herself to stay calm and patient, and believes that Dahei will respond as soon as possible.

They stepped into the simple account office, and the scene before them made them dumbfounded. Although the cave was small, it contained endless wealth. The mountain was cleverly hollowed out, and the piles of top-grade immortal stones shone brightly, like a dazzling treasure house.

Entering the cave, He Er and Zi Ming were sorting out a mountain of high-quality immortal stones, one while the other was keeping an account book.

Who is keeping the account book?

It’s Ziming.

He Er is using her spiritual power to move the fairy stones. In He Er's words, she likes fairy stones. The smell of fairy stones is so good that she dreams of falling into the fairy stone cave. Now her wish has come true.

Chu Wan Ning couldn't help but sigh:

"It's amazing! I didn't expect there are so many treasures hidden here."

Then he whispered to Ziming:

"Come on, let's enter the account! The mission is to go to Hanchan Temple in Jinzhou Prefecture and bring back 20,000 high-quality immortal stones. They are all in this storage bag."

Ziming held the brush in his hand and gently wrote on the account book, registering the spiritual stones. His movements were skillful and smooth, as if he was already used to this kind of work.

After calculating the share, Ziming handed it to Chu Wanning and Fu Qian. They took the immortal stone and thought that it would be a waste. If they were not still controlled by others, they would have helped the Erosion Cult to move its treasury away.

He Er put down the immortal stones in his hand, ran over excitedly, picked up the storage bag on the table, and shook out the immortal stones in the storage bag. 20,000 crystal clear spiritual stones were neatly spread on the ground, like a pure white jade sea.

Tsuruji praised:

"Not bad, not bad. Put them on the far right. That'll be exactly one million dollars."

Chu Wan Ning smiled. Dahei made the right decision to arrange He Er and Zi Ming here. Zi Ming had a clear mind and was good at accounting. He Er was simple-minded and a little money-grubber. He had a lot of fun here and would not reveal his true colors.

I really don’t know what Dahei has been through to make him act so clearly now. I don’t know where Fatty Huang, who was inseparable from Dahei before, has gone, and Dahei has not revealed the little knowledge he had when he separated from everyone.
