Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

Cheng Ji felt a bit of a headache as he looked at the fat black man in front of him who was wrapped tightly in a sack by Zhang Qiling, with only his head showing.

I really can't believe that Zhang Qiling has this side after falling in love.

"Let's talk. You should know what I want to hear from you." Cheng Ji sat on a stool, playing with an unknown white stone he had just peeled off from the stone. He asked lazily without raising his head.

The fat black man had been through a whole day of inhuman torture and was frightened by the handsome boy in front of him who seemed innocent but was actually a vicious person.

But the woman on the other side was not someone to be trifled with either. If he complied with her, death would be waiting for him there. But if he complied with her, there was absolutely no chance that this side would let him go.

“It’s… uh… that… I…” The fat black man was so anxious that his originally dark face turned several shades paler. He stammered for a long time but couldn’t make himself clear.

Cheng Ji frowned and listened to the fat black man's nagging for a full minute. Finally, he lost his patience and threw the white stone into the space. He stood up and walked towards the fat black man. He leaned over and used the fan he had just taken from Cheng An to straighten the fat black man's face. He said in a cold voice, "Look at me."

The boy's eyes suddenly turned blood red and deep, revealing his charm. The fat black man's mind was almost instantly controlled by the boy.

Cheng Ji asked softly: "Who asked you to come?"

The fat black man shook his head honestly and answered, "I don't know her name. She didn't tell us. The three of us were beggars on this street. The woman gave us money and asked someone to teach us some kung fu. She asked us to do things for her in the future."

"She also gave you that stone? Do you know where it came from?" Cheng Ji asked.

"She used this stone to control many members of the Zhang family. She seemed to have said before that those in the Zhang family with low bloodline would not be easily controlled, but once they touched this stone, they would be forced to be controlled by God, without exception."

"I don't know where this stone came from. I only know that the woman would go to a place called Tamutuo every once in a while. When she came back, she would give us a new stone and tell us the whereabouts of other members of the Zhang family, and ask us to capture them. If we couldn't capture them, we would kill them."

After hearing this, Cheng Ji didn't speak for a long time. He knew that Zhang Qiling standing outside the door could also hear it.

Although most members of the Zhang family were not very kind to him, there were some people in this cold family who actually helped him but eventually died an untimely death.

Cheng Ji knew that he couldn't make decisions for Zhang Qiling casually. If Cheng Shuyu was finally caught, he would hand her over to the Zhang family, which would be an explanation to those members of the Zhang family who died in vain.

It seems that his previous guess was correct. Although Yang Wanjin did not die in his Queen Mother of the West Palace, there should be something in that huge meteorite jade that she had researched to deal with the Zhang family. No matter what his considerations were, he had to go in and take a look.

Thinking about it, Cheng Ji asked the last question: "Do you know anything else about her?"

The fat black man was stunned, as if thinking for a while, and after a long while he answered: "Once, I was bewitched and peeped at her bathing, and found a big tattoo on her back."

This sentence did not attract the boy's attention until the fat black man said the next sentence, and then the boy's expression slowly became solemn.

"She has a phoenix tattooed on her back."

The young man did not join in on how the three people were dealt with. Cheng An and Zhang Qiling were almost entirely responsible for the follow-up. It was already late at night when everything was dealt with.

Cheng Ji just sat on the stool in a daze, tapping the table in front of him from time to time, his thoughts flying far away, and no one knew what the boy was thinking about.

It was not until Zhang Qiling walked in that the young man came back to his senses and opened his arms to Zhang Qiling like a child asking for a hug.

Zhang Qiling understood what he meant, then he lifted the young man up and placed him steadily on the bed.

The young man sat on the bed, stretched out his arms and hugged the god's waist tightly, burying his whole face in his arms.

After hugging her for a long time, he spoke sullenly, "She washed off her nine-tail tattoo and replaced it with a phoenix tattoo. I don't understand. All of us in the Cheng family regard her as the little princess of the clan. The rare treasures that she used to improve her bloodline were all found for her by us during our missions. Also, with her personality, why would she stoop to the Wang family?"

Zhang Qiling gently stroked the boy's long hair and said, "Can Wang Canghai really do all that by himself?"

These words suddenly woke up Cheng Ji. The young man raised his head abruptly, his pupils shrinking slightly: "Brother, do you mean that the Wang family was able to know so many secrets in such a short period of time and grow rapidly? Maybe Cheng Shuyu had a part in this?"

"I can't be sure, but I can't rule it out." Zhang Qiling shook his head slightly.

The young man continued along this line of thought: "Although she has the token of the clan leader, most of the Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Clan members do not listen to her orders, so they asked to leave and set up their own clan."

"If she wants to gain eternal life, she can only explore the secrets of the Zhang family. However, the family rules and regulations of the Zhang family in the early days were airtight. Although she controlled the third generation of the Zhang family, the abdicated patriarch could not provide her with any help."

"So she teamed up with Wang Canghai to create the Wang family, washed off the nine-tailed tattoo, and replaced it with the Wang family's phoenix tattoo. The goal was also very clear, which was to gain eternal life." The more Cheng Ji thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't expect that there was such a deep thread hidden behind this.

Zhang Qiling obviously did not have much emotional fluctuations about these speculations. He raised his hand and smoothed the boy's hair again, and negotiated: "Sleep for a while? We have to leave here tomorrow morning and get up early."

Cheng Ji's mind was in a mess and he was not sleepy at all. Just as he was about to shake his head, he heard Zhang Qiling's next words ringing in his ears.

"You can do something else instead of sleeping." The voice was not loud and the tone was light, but it was extremely creepy when it floated into the boy's ears.

You know, his body parts are still aching. If he is bullied by someone all night, he will definitely be carried onto the train tomorrow.

"Sleep?" Zhang Qiling spoke again.

"...I'm sleepy, brother. Good night. I'm already asleep." The boy's best skill is knowing when to act. As soon as Zhang Qiling finished speaking, the boy quickly got into bed and closed his eyes, not daring to make another sound.

Zhang Qiling, who was standing beside the bed, watched the boy's smooth movements, with a faint arc at the corner of his mouth. He shook his head, turned off the light, lay down on the bed, gently embraced the boy in his arms, and said in a slow voice: "Good night, little liar."
