Chapter 561 Two Doors That Couldn't Be Pushed Open
But the gate remained unchanged, completely still, as if the power Chu Chen had used had not caused it the slightest disturbance.
Chu Chen sat there and smoked a cigarette, then stood up and turned to leave.
He thought to himself that perhaps the amount of jade essence was not enough.
When I opened the first door, I had absorbed enough jade essence, so it opened with just a light touch. There was no need to use so much force.
Back at the mall entrance, Chu Chen beckoned to Bingbing with his finger!
Upon seeing this, Bingbing immediately stepped forward and took Chu Chen's hand: "Young Master, shall we retire for the night?"
"That's right, I'm exhausted. Let's go, which bed will we sleep in tonight?"
After saying that, he walked to the bedding section in the mall, picked out a large bed, and lay down on it.
When Chu Chen woke up the next day, he headed towards Hong Langman.
Well, Zhu Liuxiang has been chasing those kobolds for so long, I wonder if there are any other clues.
After having breakfast by the roadside, Chu Chen pushed open the door to Red Romance.
At this time, wealthy people came out of Honglangtang in an endless stream.
Everyone looked somewhat dejected, but when they saw Chu Chen, they all greeted him with smiles.
At this moment, Chu Chen is known to almost everyone in Qingyun City.
In the eyes of the people of Qingyun City, it was he who used absolute force to drive out those scum from the United States and restore peace to Qingyun City.
Chu Chen responded with a smile to each of them, without presuming to be someone special. Asking these people for their identities would be foolish.
"Young master, you've arrived so early! The ladies haven't finished getting ready yet!"
As soon as Chu Chen entered, the person in charge of guarding the front desk greeted him.
"It's alright, I'm looking for Zhu Liuxiang, go and call him!"
After hearing this, the receptionist turned around and walked towards the accommodation area in the backyard.
A short while later, she brought down an old man with messy hair.
"Master, I never expected that after all these years, you would still be so energetic!"
"Don't laugh at me, brat. We martial artists are stronger in every way, you know that!"
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "You're still blatantly disrespectful to your elders."
"Haha, Taoist priest, let's go out for breakfast and chat while we eat!"
Just as he was about to take Zhu Liuxiang out, Chen Qingxuan also came out from the backyard.
Completely different from Zhu Liuxiang's image, Chen Qingxuan was dressed particularly smartly today.
He was dressed in a white, close-fitting outfit, his hair was tied high on his head, and he held a long sword in his hand.
It seems somewhat out of place with the overall red and romantic feel.
"What, you didn't invite me to breakfast?"
"Holy crap, you drunkard, have you been reborn?"
Seeing Chen Qingxuan like this, Chu Chen instantly gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
So some people are masters at heart. No matter how dejected they are, once they have an epiphany, they'll be a hero again.
This scene made Zhu Liuxiang look somewhat embarrassed.
"Well, Chu Chen, I'll go wash up first. You brothers wait a bit!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the backyard.
Chen Qingxuan looked in the direction Zhu Liuxiang had left, muttered "old geezer" under his breath, and then plopped down on the sofa.
When Zhu Liuxiang came out, he was dressed up and looked radiant, like a hermit master.
Chu Chen felt as if he had returned to the aloof demeanor he had first met.
After the three of them went out, they went straight to a noodle stall.
"Boss, two bowls of shredded pork noodles, please."
"You idiot, aren't you going to eat?"
"I've already eaten, I can't eat anymore!"
Chen Qingxuan nodded after listening, thinking to himself that this brother was not bad, personally accompanying him to have breakfast.
As soon as the noodles arrived, the two of them started slurping them up without a care for their image.
Chu Chen, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, watched from the side and asked, "Daoist Master, you've been chasing those kobolds for so long, have you found anything?"
After hearing this, Zhu Liuxiang drank the noodle soup in one gulp.
"I didn't find anything else. I guess you know what I already know!"
"Talk about it!"
"Ao Tianhai, the heir of the Beast Taming family, was killed by those kobolds, but was replaced and continues to operate in this world!"
Chu Chen nodded after listening: "That's right, I even had a little fight with him yesterday."
"Oh, you saw him?"
"I not only saw them, I also went to their base!"
"That's about it. Their goal is to enslave humanity. I don't know what they're preparing, but they haven't made a move yet."
Zhu Liuxiang voiced his doubts.
Chu Chen thought to himself that it was probably for that token and the secret manual, what else could it be for!
Then he asked again, "So, how does Your Majesty plan to deal with this?"
"Troops have been deployed at major border entrances, and the defense and investigation capabilities of major cities have also been strengthened."
"Is there no way to identify this type of group?"
Chu Chen was worried about this; if these dog-headed people wearing human skin masks were hiding in the crowd, they would be really hard to spot.
Zhu Liuxiang was also asked the question, and indeed, so far, no method has been found to identify them.
If you put this kind of creature in a crowd, it would really look exactly like a human.
You can't exactly go around tugging at everyone's head, can you?
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Liuxiang seemed to remember something and said, "Yes, there really is!"
"Their smell, especially on rainy days, is like that of wild dogs!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself that this was indeed a good idea.
But what if they deliberately try to cover up their body odor?
For example, using sachets, face powder, and perfumes sold at their own perfume shops.
In this way, the entire target will disappear instantly and become like a human.
It seems I'll need to strengthen the management and inspection of my own Scent Pavilion.
So he said, "You drunkard, I have a new task for you, how about it!"
"Go ahead and say it, I have no problem!"
“Okay, Master Zhu just mentioned body odor, so I was thinking that if they want to cover it up, the perfume from Wenxiang Pavilion is the best.”
"How about you spend some time at the Fragrance Pavilion?"
"Fragrance Pavilion!" Chen Qingxuan frowned upon hearing this.
Although I'm dressed smartly today, how can I live without a woman?
How could Chu Chen not understand his thoughts?
"Don't worry, I will assign you ten or eight personal maids to take care of your daily life."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingxuan's furrowed brows relaxed.
"Such important matters concerning the country and its people are our inescapable responsibility. Just like what the fool said, every citizen has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation!"
"I'll take care of it. Don't worry, as long as I, Chen Qingxuan, am here, no one will be able to steal a single bottle of perfume from the Fragrance Pavilion!"
Looking at Chen Qingxuan's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.
Chu Chen and Zhu Liuxiang both cast disdainful glances at him.
