Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 150 Welcoming Reception and Business Negotiations

Huo Ling's words caused the atmosphere to take a sharp turn for the worse.

After a brief silence, Cheng Feng broke the ice:

"Let me introduce them. They are Lao Hu, Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Wang Kaixuan."

As he spoke, Cheng Feng looked at Yang Xueli, who was still in a state of disbelief.

"This is Yang Xueli. She once traveled with me to the ancient kingdom of Jingjue, and we went through countless life-and-death situations together."

He is a trustworthy partner.

Cheng Feng's words brought Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang back to their senses, and they looked at Yang Xueli with some concern.

He then greeted the two women with a smile.

"Old Cheng, don't just introduce us, who are these two young ladies?"

Hu Bayi asked with a smile.

Yang Xueli, on the other side, also came to her senses, looking at Cheng Feng with complicated emotions in her eyes.

I hope to hear other answers from him.

At this moment, Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin arrived on either side of Cheng Feng.

They were standing very close to Cheng Feng. If the normal social distance is 30 centimeters,

At this moment, the two of them were less than 10 centimeters away from Cheng Feng, and from a distance, they looked as if they were right next to each other.

"Hello Lao Hu, Fatty, and Miss Yang, I'm Chen Wenjin, Cheng Feng's girlfriend."

Welcome to our home!

Chen Wenjin maintained a dignified smile and spoke warmly to the three of them.

"Hello, hello, Lao Cheng is so lucky! I'm so envious of this bachelor."

Hu Bayi, with his high EQ, naturally wouldn't let the situation become awkward, and quickly responded.

At this moment, Yang Xueli's expression completely changed. She looked at Cheng Feng with mixed feelings.

It seems to be questioning: How long have I been gone and you already have a girlfriend?

But the things that saddened her were far from over.

Then Huo Ling spoke up:

"Hello everyone, my name is Huo Ling, and I'm Lao Cheng's girlfriend."

Old Cheng knew you were coming and even prepared a welcome feast. Please come inside and don't stand outside.

After saying that, Huo Ling took Cheng Feng's arm, asserting her ownership.

If Chen Wenjin's words surprised Hu Bayi and his companions a little...

When it came to Huo Ling, it became a complete bomb.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang stared at Cheng Feng with their mouths agape, their eyes filled with envy and admiration.

If the occasion were inappropriate, they would definitely give a thumbs up: It has to be you, Lao Cheng!

Just then, Xiaohua lazily strolled out of the house, looking as if she had just woken up.

"Tiger, Lao Cheng, you actually keep this thing at home!"

Hu Bayi said in surprise.

Xiao Hua then came to Cheng Feng's side, squatted down, and looked curiously at Hu Bayi and the other two.

Wang Pangzi and Hu Bayi were both amazed. Although Xiaohua wasn't fully grown up yet...

But he was already quite robust; someone who was timid would easily have their legs go weak at this point.

"Let's all come inside and sit down to talk!"

Cheng Feng then led everyone into the living room.

After everyone was seated, Huo Yan came in with freshly brewed hot tea.

After pouring tea for everyone at the table and receiving a few words of thanks, he went back to preparing the welcome banquet.

"Old Cheng, who is this?"

After Huo Yan left, Hu Bayi asked, while thinking to himself, "Is this still your woman?"

Fortunately, Cheng Feng's answer was not what he had guessed.

"That girl's name is Huo Yan. She's a distant relative of Xiao Ling's family. She usually helps out here when she's not busy."

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang glanced at Xiao Hua, who was lying next to Cheng Feng, and then at Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling on either side of him.

They all thought the same thing: Old Cheng is living a damn good life.

Hu Bayi then told Fatty Wang about his experiences over the past year.

Cheng Feng also spoke about some of the things he could say.

After catching up, Huo Ling and the other two women started serving the dishes. Cheng Feng took the opportunity to end the conversation and invited everyone to start eating.

The main reason was that Yang Xueli remained silent the entire time, which made him feel uneasy.

Neither Hu Bayi nor Fatty Wang were shy people, and the dinner table was quite lively with everyone toasting and drinking.

After the meal, Huo Ling and the three women cleaned up and made tea for everyone.

After the three women took their leave, Cheng Feng began to discuss serious matters.

Without further ado, Cheng Feng took out the cloth bag containing the Muchen Pearl and tossed it to Yang Xueli.

“I went to Yunnan before the Lunar New Year and found this Muchen Pearl in the tomb of King Xian.”

Yang Xueli's expression finally changed; this was the antidote that their Mountain Moving lineage had been searching for for dozens of generations.

She then quickly opened the cloth bag and took out the Muchen Pearl inside.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang also looked over quickly; eye symbols had appeared on their bodies.

This indicates that a curse has been planted; if this curse is not broken,

They also wouldn't live past fifty, so their concern for the Muchen Pearl was no less than Yang Xueli's.

"It's real, this is the Muchen Pearl!"

Yang Xueli's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, her previously scattered emotions now replaced by excitement.

Hu Bayi quickly pressed on, "Now that we've found the Muchen Pearl, can our curse be lifted?"

After calming down a bit, Yang Xueli said:

"I need to go back and look through the documents passed down from my family; there should be some clues there."

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were somewhat discouraged after hearing this, realizing that obtaining the Muchen Pearl was only a partial victory.

At this moment, Cheng Feng spoke up:

"No need for that complicated process, I know how to break the curse on the Ghost Eye."

The three of them immediately regained their spirits and looked at Cheng Feng, who was sitting calmly on the sidelines.

Cheng Feng didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:

"To break the curse of the Ghost Eye, you must take the Muchen Pearl to the ruins of the Demon Kingdom and perform a sacrifice there."

"Demon Kingdom?"

Hu Bayi thought of the nine-story demon tower in the Kunlun Glacier.

Professor Chen had once told them that it was a ruin of the Demon Kingdom.

"That's right, the Ghost Eye Curse was created by the Demon Kingdom that initially spied on the secrets of the Ghost Cave."

The only solution is to start with the Demon Kingdom.

Cheng Feng gave a precise target, and Hu Bayi's mind began to race.

"If that's the case, perhaps a friend of mine can help."

He is a divinely ordained chanting poet of Tibet, and no one can surpass his understanding of the Demon Kingdom.

This naturally gifted poet was extraordinary; he could memorize hundreds of thousands of words of poetry from the Western Regions without any formal study.

It contains the history of the Demon Kingdom.

Moreover, having a local help can help avoid a lot of trouble.

"Alright then, Lao Hu, Fatty, and Shirley, you can stay here for now. I'll have my men prepare the supplies for this trip."

Then let's set off!

The ultimate goal of this trip was the Kunlun Mountains. Although Golmud is located at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, the Kunlun Mountains are too vast.

The Demon Kingdom is located relatively close to Tibet and Xinjiang. If you go up the Kunlun Mountains from Golmud,

Old Hu and his group will never reach their destination.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Hu Bayi readily agreed.

They're definitely heading to glaciers, so they need to prepare ginger for breaking the ice.

Otherwise, when they need to break the ice, they may not be able to handle the millennia-old ice that is as hard as iron.

"Old Hu, where are you living now?"

Hu Bayi responded with a smile:

"I found a hotel to stay in when I came here, and I'm still staying there."

“It’s inconvenient to stay in hotels, so I asked my men to find a house nearby so they can come to me anytime if they need anything.”

Cheng Feng spoke firmly, making his decision without giving the three a chance to refuse.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang couldn't refuse Cheng Feng, so they could only express their gratitude.

"Xiaoling, I'm leaving the house to you. I'll go arrange the housing!"

Chen Wenjin acted very virtuously, and without Cheng Feng saying anything more, she took the initiative to get up and deal with the matter.
