I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse

"Hey, hey, can’t you act a bit more civilized?"

After leaving the small restaurant, you finally let go of the hand and walked silently towards Furong District.

Heavenly Fox was still grumbling behind you, "I really don’t know how those beauties see anything in you barbarians, hey, at least people like me were once slightly interested in her. Alas, in this day and age, all the good women end up with pigs."

You suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at Heavenly Fox.

"Oh my, such a fierce gaze, I’m so scared," he said sarcastically.

Alright, you surrendered, because you noticed it wasn’t just you who’d changed; Heavenly Fox had also changed, and now you just wanted to hit him more!

Going into the room, you sat down on the living room sofa, deliberately turning on the TV and turning up the volume quite loudly.

Seeing this, Heavenly Fox feigned a shocked expression, curling up, arms crossed, looking at you warily.

"What do you want?"

You and Heavenly Fox spoke simultaneously.

"I asked what you want?"

Again, at the same time.

"Oh, come on!" you smacked your forehead, feeling your brain might not be up to the task, this guy was too troublesome!

Seeing he’d gotten to you, Heavenly Fox sat down with a mischievous smile and said, "Hey, Brother Nine, don’t you know those guys turn up the TV volume when they’re, you know, making babies?"

Rolling your eyes again, you had no strength to speak with Heavenly Fox, just dismissively waving him off with an "I don’t care what you say" expression.

Heavenly Fox checked his watch and finally sobered up, saying seriously, "The contract involves drug development. The Haitian Investment Group invests seventy percent of the funds, while Hengtai Group covers the remaining thirty percent. The drug is to be fully developed by Hengtai Group, with a total investment of twenty billion, and the sample is to be produced in four years."

Hearing this, your expression darkened as well, "For such a massive project investment, what kind of drug is this?"

Heavenly Fox shook his head slightly, "I’m not quite sure either, the contract doesn’t mention any details about the drug, only its name, Phoenix."

"That’s an interesting name; no drug has ever dared use the totem of the Citizens of China."

"When I first saw the contract, I had the same thought as you; however, the contract also mentioned another drug."

"There’s more?" you were stunned.

Here, Heavenly Fox’s brows furrowed slightly, "That drug is called Taotie."

"Even the ancient God and Demon are here?"

"Interesting, isn’t it?"

"Interesting my foot! Taotie is supposed to devour everything! Just what is Hengtai Group thinking, giving their drug such a terrifying name?"

Heavenly Fox shook his head.

"Have you reported this information to the higher-ups?"

Heavenly Fox shook his head again.

"Why not report it?"

Heavenly Fox was silent for a moment and said to you, "It’s not that we don’t report it, but we don’t think the time is right."

"Huh?"

Seeing your confused expression, Heavenly Fox smiled slightly, "I think you should also understand, once I report this information, without a doubt, the higher-ups will send more people down to investigate first thing. I think with the cleverness of Cen Nong, Wei Songbo, and others, they’ve definitely already planned a backup. Once the higher-ups get involved, they will definitely hide or even destroy the drugs. That way, this mission will become a cold case, and we’ll never know the truth. So, what I mean is..."

"You want me to infiltrate the enemy and find out about these two drugs as soon as possible?"

"Exactly, I think Jerris must have come all the way here, risking his life, for these two drugs."

You fell silent.

Just as he was about to speak, your phone rang, it was your usual phone, you picked it up to see an unfamiliar number.

You pressed the answer button, speaking in a slightly low voice, "Who is it?"

"It’s me."

The voice on the other end was familiar, yet made you frown instantly.

"Brother, you’re not asleep yet, are you?"

It was Chen Susu, you didn’t expect her to call at this time.

"Mm." You murmured in response.

"Brother, I want to see you now."

The rightful source is NoveI[F]ire.net

"What’s wrong?" Chen Susu’s voice was a little strange, in your impression, this girl who has always been strong never seemed so down.

"Nothing... nothing, just... want to see you."

Although you could not rule out the possibility of Chen Susu’s tricks, you had to go, after all, Chen Susu might potentially be one of your wives.

"How about this, I have something small to take care of now, I’ll call you in half an hour."

"Okay." Hearing you agree so readily, Chen Susu’s mood visibly improved.

After hanging up, you found Heavenly Fox looking at you with a particularly resentful gaze, which made your skin crawl, and you hurriedly changed your position, putting more than a meter between you and Heavenly Fox.

"Don’t look at me with that disgusting gaze, I’m not into that."

"Tsk tsk, I really couldn’t tell," Heavenly Fox looked you up and down, his gaze like an X-ray capable of seeing right through you.

"Couldn’t tell what?"

"Back in the day, the troops had countless leaders wanting to set you up, even I thought of pushing my own sister into the fire pit, yet you still kept people at arm’s length. Back then I even thought you were interested in me, it even kept me up for days."

"Get lost!" you laughed off Heavenly Fox’s nonsense.

Heavenly Fox leaned in closer and asked, "Hey, tell me, who was that girl just now? Her voice sounded quite tempting?"

"My sister."

"Not by blood, right?" Heavenly Fox blinked, showing a hint of ambiguity.

"Sworn sister! Can’t your mind be a bit purer?"

You really felt defeated by Heavenly Fox, finding no way to counter him. You felt that every minute spent with him was an hour of torment.

"It’s not that I don’t want to be pure, but it’s already 7:30, and that young girl isn’t home watching TV or with her parents, instead, she’s calling you. Hmm, hmm, if you think about it even with your toes, there’s enough material here for a tens of thousands of words short adult story."

"She’s a bit special, I mean, she has abilities that ordinary people don’t have."

Hearing this, Heavenly Fox raised an eyebrow and asked in a slightly low voice, "She has superpowers?"

You nodded, saying nothing more, nor wanting to.

"Take me to see her," Heavenly Fox said seriously.

"No way." You rejected outright.

Heavenly Fox continued in a low voice, "Captain, you should know very well, every superpowered being must be registered, each of them could potentially cause chaos, threats to society."

"Of course I know, that’s why I’m not hiding it from you. You should understand that the reason I’m telling you is because I don’t want you to disturb her. She is my sister, or at least my friend, and I have the duty to protect her and let her live a normal life."

"But..."

"No buts!"

Facing your firm attitude, Heavenly Fox could only shrug slightly, after all, this was not part of his duties, and all he could do was warn you.
