Chapter 841: Her Backup Plan
"Xiao Yueyue, isn’t it dangerous to reveal your identity as a descendant of the Shenlian clan to them? Your partners have certainly showcased enough power and wealth to create an illusion that you’re from a formidable force," Xiong Zi Ying expressed, concern etched on her face.
"Very soon, they’ll begin to forget the extravagant display we put on to shatter their arrogance. What remains in their memory will only be the repercussions of crossing us and the five years of hardship they’ve endured," she murmured, gently stroking Xiao Yun’s soft fur as she cradled him in her arms.
Her caution was evident; she had meticulously crafted two plans. Should the first plan fail, the second was ready to be activated.
Initially, she intended to masquerade as part of a mysterious force. By projecting an image of wealth and power, even if the Shenlian clan sought to challenge her, they would feel the need to dig deeper into her background.
They would never suspect that she and her companions hailed from the Yellow Planet.
The backup plan involved erasing the memories of what they had seen and heard. Although it resembled a forbidden art, she felt justified; her actions were driven by the desire to protect her loved ones. Xiao Yun and the others shared her sentiment, wanting to dismantle their enemies’ pride without courting disaster.
"By unveiling my identity, I aim to cloak myself in an air of enigma. No one would dare claim to be a descendant of the Shenlian clan without substantial backing," she clarified, sitting cross-legged on a rock to maintain her balance.
Everyone’s expressions brightened momentarily, but soon doubt overshadowed them.
"Yue’er, have you forgotten the numerous formidable foes we face, particularly within the Shenlian clan?" Shenlian Yinzhu questioned, leaning against the wall with a skeptical expression.
