Hidden Conspiracy (Seeking Subscriptions, Recommendations, and Monthly Tickets)

"You know you were wrong, right!"

Gu Sheng released the aggrieved-looking Liu Daimei. If you didn’t discipline her for three days, she’d start tearing the roof off the house. Without teaching her a proper lesson, she wouldn’t know who was really the head of the family.

"Hmph~"

Liu Daimei snorted and turned her head away from Gu Sheng, but the smile at the corners of her lips still betrayed her mood.

"If she could trap me so easily, how could anything have happened to her!"

Whenever Liu Daimei mentioned Yue Qiluo, her resentment grew heavy. After being blessed by Old Wang’s divine technique, she felt that her strength had greatly increased and had been wanting to find someone to test it on.

Although Gu Sheng had repeatedly warned her that Yue Qiluo’s strength was extraordinary, women could sometimes be even more stubborn than men. On top of that, after Yue Qiluo arrived, she felt that Gu Sheng had been neglecting her. Thus, their recent clash had happened almost naturally.

"Are you all right!"

Gu Sheng held Liu Daimei by the shoulders and examined her from head to toe. Only after confirming that she hadn’t been injured did he feel slightly relieved.

"Hmph~ Out with the old, in with the new. What are you pretending for~"

Liu Daimei was unhappy, so naturally she didn’t give Gu Sheng a pleasant look. The words she spoke were rather biting as well.

"Do you have any other injuries?"

Gu Sheng understood Liu Daimei well. He knew that if she was saying things like that, she was actually fine. Still, he pretended to examine her seriously, though his hands and feet were becoming rather improper.

"Ah! What are you doing~"

Liu Daimei sensed that something was wrong and, blushing, slapped at Gu Sheng as he misbehaved in front of her.

"What am I doing? I’m checking whether there’ll be any problems with my son’s future rations."

Even after being caught, Gu Sheng wasn’t embarrassed in the slightest. He bent his head and leaned toward Liu Daimei’s twin vital spots.

"Let go! I’m not in the mood right now!"

Liu Daimei was furious. Was this man going too far? She had been waiting for him to comfort her! Instead, he had chosen this moment to entertain such thoughts.

"Mei-jie, you’ll be calling out happily in a little while."

Gu Sheng grinned and lifted Liu Daimei into his arms, sealing the major acupoints throughout her body. Laughing, he carried her into the room. Liu Daimei cursed him in embarrassment all the way, until her brows and eyes filled with spring, and in the end, she took the initiative herself~

Early the next morning, in the small courtyard of Zhang Residence, only Liu Daimei remained in the room, sleeping lazily. She and Gu Sheng had played far too wildly the night before, nearly ruining a fine field between them.

"Creak~"

The door opened. The person who appeared was neither Gu Sheng nor a maid, but Yue Qiluo, who had kept mostly to herself since entering the residence. Yue Qiluo’s room was actually not far from Liu Daimei’s; the two faced each other across the same courtyard.

"Who is it!"

Liu Daimei’s vigilance was hardly lacking. A vampire’s five senses were astonishing. With one twitch of her delicate nose, she determined that this was not a familiar scent, and immediately woke up. She sat up, clutching the quilt, and looked toward the doorway. "Oh, it’s little sister!

Sorry about that! I spent quite a while enjoying myself beneath Master’s body last night, so my body was a little~ I got up rather late. Don’t take offense, little sister."

Yue Qiluo looked at her expressionlessly. "Sacrificing your body to achieve your goal… I really don’t understand what goes on in your mind~"

"That’s none of your business!"

As if she hadn’t noticed anyone else present, Liu Daimei boldly climbed out of bed and began washing and dressing herself while naked. "Tell me, then. Why did you come looking for me?"

"That relative of yours called Wu You isn’t very well-behaved."

Yue Qiluo waved a hand, and a Paper Doll flew into her grasp. "I discovered something rather interesting. Do you want to go take a look together?"

Sunday happened to be one of the rare days when the Command Headquarters granted leave. Wu You changed out of the officer’s uniform he wore every day and put on an ordinary student’s outfit. With his gold-rimmed glasses and youthful-looking face, he had quite the air of a scholar.

He walked quickly. After reaching the northwest streets of Wen County, he turned left and right before arriving at an empty alley. At the end of the alley stood a dilapidated residence that hardly looked inhabited.

"Knock~ knock knock~~ knock knock knock~ knock knock~~"

After a series of rhythmic knocks, the decrepit courtyard gate creaked open. Someone peered out, and upon seeing Wu You, relaxed slightly. After looking around and confirming that there were no pursuers, he gestured for Wu You to enter.

Neither of them noticed that the eyes of a Paper Doll on Wu You’s shoe were glowing red.

"Brother Wu!"

"Lord Wu You!"

"Blood Wolf!"

More than thirty Reincarnators had gathered inside, including the two who had participated in the ambush against Wu Xin at the time.

"How did the discussion go?"

After Wu You arrived, he swept his eyes around the room, lingering a little longer on several unfamiliar faces.

"No problem!"

"Rest assured, Brother Wu!"

"The routes have all been planned out!"

The Reincarnators rubbed their fists and readied themselves for a major operation.

"Who are these two?"

A trace of doubt flashed through Wu You’s eyes. He had never seen this man and woman before.

"Brother Wu, long time no see!"

The eyes of the man among the two changed just as Liu Daimei’s did when she transformed. His fangs protruded, and his voice had become much sharper.

"Ling Wei!"

A flash of surprise crossed Wu You’s eyes. This vampire was none other than Ling Wei, who had fought the Werewolf Wang Lin that day and caused Gu Sheng to be dragged into Lord God Space.

"Hehe~~"

Ling Wei smiled and extended his hand. "Long time no see!"

"It really has been a long time since we heard from you. This time, we’ll have to cooperate properly!"

Wu You smiled and shook his hand. The two appeared enthusiastic, but the subtly different looks in their eyes betrayed them.

Inside Gu Xuanwu’s apartment at the Wen County Command Headquarters, Gu Xuanwu, Wu Xin, and Bai Liuli—two people and one soul—were discussing how to resolve the crisis in the city. Wen County, where all kinds of monsters and demons kept appearing, was now a barrel of gunpowder. Once it exploded, no one would escape.

Wu Xin had always disliked causing trouble, but this time he had taken the initiative for once. Although the previous attack had not taken his life, he was certain that they had come for him. While recovering from his injuries, he had also occasionally sensed someone spying on him from the shadows.

All of this made him understand that these monsters and demons were very likely targeting him. Although he didn’t know why—it was possible that he had made enemies at some point in the past—there was no point in hiding now. He had no intention of hiding any longer. As for Gu Xuanwu, Wen County was his territory. With so many dangerous figures hiding there, how could he possibly sleep soundly?

As for Bai Liuli, Wu Xin might be his only friend in this world. When a friend was in trouble, of course he would choose to help.

"Knock knock knock~~~"

The knock on the door sounded, and Gu Xuanwu shouted impatiently, "What is it!"

"Commander, I’ve received some information concerning the thugs who attacked Wu Xin."

A voice came from outside. It was none other than Wu You, who had just been plotting to make big news.

"Come in!"

Gu Xuanwu exchanged a glance with Wu Xin and called toward the door. Bai Liuli’s body flashed, and his illusory form transformed into a White Chicken.

"Commander!"

Wu You walked in. When he saw Wu Xin standing there unharmed, astonishment flashed through his eyes. Even if he, a Werewolf, had been cut in half at the waist, he definitely couldn’t have been saved. Yet Wu Xin had actually~
