Chapter 1663: Chapter 13: Huang

Picked up the head from the ground with both hands, then attached it to the neck… straightened it.

After a while, Tai Yinzi exhaled a gray mist, transformed it into an afro wig, and started combing it.

People used to wearing wigs are like this, treating them like treasures.

Nero blinked her eyes, and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Why not just turn it into hair?”

“What do you know?” Tai Yinzi glanced sideways at the clueless young girl, he hadn’t even accounted for the holes she shot through his body!

Tai Yinzi had made up his mind that once this infiltration mission succeeds, he would certainly hold this ignorant wild girl accountable!

Nero didn’t understand, but was intrigued, and decided to mimic Tai Yinzi’s style, blowing out a breath to transform into an afro wig, then wore it… surprisingly, it was quite charming.

Tai Yinzi’s eye twitched a few times, feeling that a sacred place in his heart which must not be trampled had been insulted, he forcefully inhaled to calm his discomfort.

He obviously remembered the task instructed by the master.

Entering the Transcender Organization requires completing Musashi’s assessment—this was clearly a pit that Musashi dug for him when he learned of the Bloodline Fruit incident!

If he hadn’t coincidentally encountered Nero in the secret place… there were enemies from Sun God Ra in front, Tamamo-no-Mae lurking like wolves behind, and an unknown number of Musashi’s foes around. He’d have to play his own requiem.

But it seems the opportunity lies here too.

Nero seemed to have control over the guards of this secret place. At least, this Sky Island is currently under her control… those silver girls are obviously under it too.

Third-level permissions?

Tai Yinzi silently calculates how much his permissions differ from Nero’s—but currently, he can’t figure it out, can only keep the question in his heart.

“Miss Nero, I need some Bloodline Fruit as a stepping stone to enter the Transcender Organization.”

At this moment, Tai Yinzi arranged his thoughts and felt his tone was quite good, “This is a task given by the master, now that you have control of this secret place, I believe you can help me get some? Miss Nero, we’re fellow disciples, we should help each other… today’s favor will not be forgotten by me, if Miss Nero needs anything in the future, just say the word, and I won’t say a second word, even if climbing a knife mountain, jumping down, down an oil… oil pot?”

Only to see Nero directly brought a huge oil pot, with the hot oil rolling in it, without approaching, a wave of heat had already greeted them.

Nero pointed at the oil pot, looking expectantly and naively said, “Jump, Uncle Tai Yinzi! I’ve never seen someone jump into an oil pot before!”

Fight… can’t win, let alone those silver girls don’t even care about his lower-level permissions.

Tai Yinzi gritted his teeth, thinking he’d rather suffer a bit, as long as he served this witch well, joining the Transcender Organization would have some prospects… once this infiltration mission is completed, hm hm!

Endure it!

“I know Miss Nero is upset. As long as Miss Nero can calm her anger, I will apologize for the master right now, and jumping into the oil pot doesn’t matter!”

In fact, Tai Yinzi is quite cunning, but often somehow falls into trouble… maybe it’s due to personality, but he’s really cunning, within the brief exchange he’d roughly figured out why Nero was troubling him.

Isn’t it because she’s angry at the boss for leaving her here?

Saying that this oil pot seems fierce and powerful, but with the Black Soul body, what oil pot could bring harm? Walking into this oil pot, at most it would make him greasy… at most after jumping into the oil pot, he’d shout about the pain to let this little witch be happy.

Tai Yinzi immediately climbed to the edge of the oil pot, just about to jump.

“Wait a minute!” Nero suddenly stopped him, “Who told you I’m angry with the boss?”

“Isn’t it?” Tai Yinzi was stunned, staring at Nero.

Nero shrugged, didn’t speak for a while, then said indifferently, “Alright, you can jump now, Uncle Tai Yinzi, don’t worry, you won’t die.”

Oh master, now is my moment to shine, you must reward me well! Thinking of this, holding his nose, Tai Yinzi suddenly with a look of determined courage, really jumped into the oil pot.

Sizzle—gurgle gurgle—sizzle sizzle, sizzle sizzle!

“What is this oil!!! Painful—it’s killing me, ahh! Ah—!”

“He really jumped!” Nero exclaimed, “Even I would be in pain for half a day after touching some of this oil, Uncle Tai Yinzi, you’re really fierce!”

Tai Yinzi, faint!

…

Death is impossible, at most the soul feels like being roasted back and forth by fierce flames.

Tai Yinzi lay on the floor, looking at the ceiling in despair, his skin and flesh had split, the black mist of his body flickered between coagulation and dispersion.

At last, Nero remembered Tai Yinzi belonged to the boss, and after getting him fried to seven-tenths done, she finally took him out of the oil pot.

“Sorry, Uncle Tai Yinzi, I didn’t expect you to really jump into the oil pot!” Nero pitifully squatted next to Tai Yinzi, holding a freshly picked Bloodline Fruit in her hands, “Here, this fruit is for you.”

“Rea… really giving it to me?” Tai Yinzi was doubtful, always feeling there was some kind of plot here.

Nero pouted, “Yes, but there’s a condition, do you agree or not?”

“…Say it first!”

Nero smiled mischievously, “Uncle Tai Yinzi, your infiltration mission looks really fun, do you need an assistant? How do you think I am?”

“You…” Tai Yinzi’s eyes suddenly widened, disregarding the injuries on his seven-tenths done body, he exploded in anger, “Oh! So that’s what you were aiming for! I should’ve seen it earlier!”

“What am I aiming for?” Nero was puzzled, looking at Tai Yinzi in confusion.

Tai Yinzi sneered, “Do you think I don’t know? You clearly want to steal my credit! I’m telling you, this task was personally instructed to me by the master, no one should think about taking it away from me!”

“I’m not stealing!” Nero now sat upright, “Uncle Tai Yinzi, I can sign a private agreement with you, to guarantee I won’t take your credit!”

“Really?” Tai Yinzi immediately frowned.

Words alone aren’t binding, but if Nero was truly willing to sign a private agreement… if the agreement was really breached, even if it went up to the master, he wouldn’t be afraid!

“Of course!” Nero nodded vigorously.

Speaking of which, Tai Yinzi wasn’t very familiar with Nero… When Nero was recruited by the master, he was still working on grand construction at Main God Mountain, as for the maid’s rest system which was extremely treacherous, resulting in Tai Yinzi’s impression of Nero being only a few brief encounters.

But given this young girl was willing to sign an agreement…

“Have you thought it through?” Tai Yinzi hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, “This task given by the master doesn’t specify how long it will take, I don’t know how long the infiltration will last… you’ve been trapped in this secret place for years, now there’s a chance to leave, don’t you want to return to the shop?”

Returning means having to write punishments, why go back when you can wander outside?

“Uncle Tai Yinzi, how about I give you a massage?”

Nero directly ran behind Tai Yinzi now, reaching her hand to knead his shoulder, speaking softly, “How is it? Is this strength suitable? Sorry, Senior Tai Yinzi, I’ve thought it through, you’re a senior, I shouldn’t treat you like that… plus, if it weren’t for you bringing the person with the key in here, I wouldn’t know how much longer I’d be trapped! You’re my great benefactor! Uncle Tai Yinzi, please forgive me, alright?”

“Hmm.” Tai Yinzi expressionlessly hummed lightly.

He takes hard but not soft from above, but below he’s a type that takes soft but not hard, with Nero personally serving, he was delighted inside, almost bursting out laughing.

It’s here, it’s here!

This is the treatment that the first Black soul envoy under the master truly deserves—this is what he has been seeking!

“Senior, what would you like to eat? I’ll get it for you right away, okay?”

“Hmm…this little girl has finally come to her senses.” Tai Yinzi waved his hand at this moment, “You should have done this long ago! Seeing how sensible you are, I will reluctantly agree with you.”

“Really!” Nero instantly became more enthusiastic.

However, Tai Yinzi formally said, “But first let me make it clear, the agreement must be signed after all. And for this action, you must respect me, you absolutely cannot do anything beyond my orders, and you must report everything to me! Let me tell you, if you ruin my plans, it’s the same as ruining the master’s major business, and that is punishable by death!”

“Don’t worry!” Nero displayed a sweet smile, “In front of Boss Luo, I am the most obedient!”

“Sign the agreement!” At this moment, Tai Yinzi waved his hand to gather an agreement.

This thing is naturally not the same as the boss’s ancient sheepskin scroll, nor does it have the irresistible agreement rules, but after all, it is condensed by the Black Soul using the power of the shop, so it can impose certain constraints on both parties of the Black soul envoys signing the agreement.

First: After the infiltration mission ends, all credit belongs to Tai Yinzi.

Second: During the infiltration mission process, respect must be given solely to Tai Yinzi.

Third: During the infiltration mission, all information must be shared unconditionally with Tai Yinzi.

“Alright, you see, look carefully! Look closely and just sign it!” With a wave of Tai Yinzi’s hand, the agreement was directly sent to Nero.

Nero blinked, extended her finger, quickly drew on the agreement, and then pressed a handprint on it.

“What are you doing?!”

Tai Yinzi’s eyes were sharp, and he clearly saw that Nero had modified the agreement, changing the name of the main party to her own, and was immediately both shocked and angry, ready to jump up.

Then Nero smiled, and in the moment when Tai Yinzi was enraged, she grabbed his palm and pressed it onto the agreement.

“Done! It’s signed! Uncle Tai Yinzi, when are we starting the action?”

“I…I…I! I will tear you apart, girl! How dare you deceive me!!”

Tai Yinzi’s eyes turned red, instantly bursting with fury.

Tai Yinzi executed ↘→↓↘→+A.

Tai Yinzi was knocked down by Nero, KO!

Tai Yinzi was dragged away by Nero.

…

…

In the Hive Prison, suddenly, footsteps could be heard.

Sun God Ra and Goddess Maat simultaneously raised their heads, only to see a white-haired girl slowly descending the stairs while nibbling on a yellow fruit.

Until she arrived in front of the father-daughter gods—separated by a transparent wall, they gazed at each other.

“You are the owner of this secret place?” Sun God Ra, having seen many storms, asked calmly at this moment, “What is your purpose in bringing us here?”

Nero did not speak, she just chewed on the yellow fruit and then clapped her hands twice.

Immediately afterward, a group of silver girls flew in from the other entrance of the Hive Prison… and clearly, behind these silver girls were several fleeing Pillar Gods.

The hands of these fleeing Pillar Gods were also fitted with shackles that could suppress divine power and physical strength, their expressions appeared bleak… Upon seeing the Father God who was already deeply imprisoned, these Pillar Gods turned pale with astonishment.

Soon, the Hive Prison opened again, and Tamamo-no-Mae was brought in with an unpleasant look by a team of silver girls.

The Pillar Gods and Tamamo-no-Mae were directly thrown into the Hive Prison.

Nero at this moment looked at the Pillar Gods and Tamamo-no-Mae, smiling sweetly and said, “This Hive Prison has a unique set of operational rules that change daily. However, there is a loophole inside; the first to find it can escape!”

The Pillar Gods were suddenly shocked… Tamamo-no-Mae frowned.

“Anyone who successfully breaks out, I can permit them to take something from here.” Nero said again.

“Why should we believe you?” Goddess Maat said calmly at this moment.

Nero tilted her head, showing a big smile, but did not say a word, bounding up the stairs and leaving the Hive Prison.

Her mood seems rather good.

…

“Ms. Nero, how does this fruit taste? I just picked it on the way, thinking you might be thirsty by now.” Tai Yinzi approached with a smile, holding a pear-shaped fruit in both hands.

“Wow! Uncle Tai Yinzi, you’re really a good person! Thank you!” Nero happily accepted.

“As we all know, seniors have the duty to take care of entry level guys, it’s no big deal, no big deal.” Tai Yinzi waved his hand quickly.

At this moment, he and Nero were standing at the exit of the secret place… Nero tossed the key she took from Sun God Ra, directly opening the massive Stone Gate.

“This secret place, according to those silver girls, is called the Royal Third Garden. I wonder which royal family it belongs to?” Tai Yinzi suddenly asked.

In his mind, a vague image began to emerge—the last time he had this feeling, he successfully wrote a few words for Boss Luo.

“It seems to be called the Eternal Empire.” Nero said casually at this moment, “They say it’s the garden of the Second Prince. But there’s no record on the Sky Island; those silver girls were actually the original gardeners from this royal family, and besides taking care of the garden, they don’t know much else.”

Eternal Empire?

Tai Yinzi frowned, as if something in his mind was about to surface, yet it remained elusive, like a thin veil, keeping its true form hidden, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

“Second… Prince?”

“Huang.” Nero nodded and said carelessly, “His name is Huang, that’s all there is to it.”

Bang—!

In an instant, Tai Yinzi’s mind felt like something exploded, followed by a memory fragment instantly appearing!

Second Prince Huang.
