155 A seedy shop selling black medicine (1/2)

Ren Xiaosu felt that Luo Lan was getting too obsessed with supernatural beings.

Chen Wudi had said that Benbo'erba had tried to get him to defect to his side, but that attempt was immediately seen through by his ”discerning eyes.” As the Great Sage, how could he work for a demon? That definitely would not do since demons did not seek the Buddhist scriptures from the Western Paradise!

Luo Lan had even risked his own life to save Dong Funan just so he could have a supernatural being as his bodyguard. Furthermore, he relentlessly courted her, but Dong Funan did not take a liking to him.

In between, Ren Xiaosu even checked with Luo Lan to see if he might have set eyes on the wrong person. What if there were problems with Dong Funan?

Moreover, by allowing Dong Funan to stay here, it was equivalent to having a ticking time bomb next to them if she turned out to be problematic.

However, Luo Lan said there shouldn't be any problems since she looked so innocent.

”Shouldn't a big shot like you do a background check on her?” Ren Xiaosu snapped.

”It's not like this stronghold is under our control,” Luo Lan replied matter-of-factly.

This made Ren Xiaosu feel that something was wrong. He would have to be warier of Dong Funan.

All of a sudden, the voice from the palace said, ”Side quest: Take in someone in distress for seven days; one out of seven. After the quest is completed, you will unlock a new product in the vending machine.”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He thought there was only black medicine to be bought from the vending machine. So it turned out he could also unlock new products by completing quests the palace assigned to him?

Then wasn't this quest going to be a cakewalk to complete?

While they were eating dinner, Ren Xiaosu nonchalantly asked Dong Funan, ”What's your superpower?”

”I have more strength than normal…” Dong Funan said softly.

”More strength?” Ren Xiaosu felt that such a superpower was rather useless. ”How much greater is it compared to the average person?”

”I probably have strength equivalent to two adult men.” Dong Funan said, ”But my strength is still increasing, and I might get even stronger in the future.”

Ren Xiaosu sighed. ”Frankly, you couldn't have escaped without Luo Lan and his men's help with just your superpower alone.”

”He doesn't have good intentions!” Dong Funan replied, ”His gaze and the way he speaks tells me that!”

”What plans do you have?” Ren Xiaosu asked. To be honest, he did not really like this willful girl. Even if she did not like Luo Lan, she should at least thank him for saving her. Ren Xiaosu even thought of speaking up for Luo Lan.

Dong Funan gave it some thought before saying, ”When my injuries heal tomorrow, I'll go and get revenge on the Pyro Company!”

Ren Xiaosu shook his head. ”You can't go.”

”Why not?” Dong Funan was taken aback.

”First of all, the Pyro Company has already been expelled from the stronghold. Even if some of their people are still hiding in the stronghold, you won't find them.” Ren Xiaosu said, ”Second, you might reveal that we took you in before if you get caught and tortured by them.”

Besides, Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, 'How am I suppose to complete my quest if you leave now!'

However, what he said was also true. What if the Pyro Company came to take revenge on them after Dong Funan was unable to endure the torture and confessed? This girl seemed very self-centered and wouldn't care about other people's safety. Therefore, Ren Xiaosu did not trust her at all.

Dong Funan said stubbornly, ”Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that y'all took me in.”

”Can you guarantee that?” Ren Xiaosu said calmly, ”Wudi, you're in charge of keeping a close eye on her for the next few days!” But Ren Xiaosu then noticed Chen Wudi looked a little unhappy.

Yan Liuyuan whispered a few words to Chen Wudi, and he immediately agreed in delight.

Curious, Ren Xiaosu looked at Yan Liuyuan and asked him, ”What did you say to make him so happy?”

”It's very easy to make him happy.” Yan Liuyuan said after eating a spoonful of porridge, ”Just address him as the Great Sage.”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He realized Yan Liuyuan was fantastic at noticing what made others tick.

Dong Funan attempted to run off while Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan were talking. She was afraid she wouldn't be allowed to seek revenge. However, she was carried back by Chen Wudi before she could even get far.

No matter how great her strength, it couldn't be greater than Chen Wudi's current strength.

Next to him, Yan Liuyuan smiled at Chen Wudi and said, ”The Great Sage is amazing!”
