How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 138: Are you playing the chaste game with me?

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Are you playing the chaste game with me?

Blue Demon sat on the chair, her eyes slowly opening and staring at Lin Xiaosu on the bed.

Yes, Lin Xiaosu was not so gentlemanly tonight; he took the bed and let a woman sit by the bed.

In fact, it was Blue Demon who insisted. She said she never slept on the bed, she didn’t even need sleep. Sleep was just for rest, and she was resting when not fighting.

Even walking could produce an effect similar to sleeping, and sitting in a chair was all the more like sleeping.

"How is it? The copulation next door has agitated you to look like this?" Blue Demon’s voice floated over.

If you can’t stand it, then you can’t stand it, that’s normal, but to bring up this topic for discussion seemed somewhat abnormal.

So, he feigned sleep.

Blue Demon, however, did not intend to stop there: "I find it a little hard to believe, that in the mundane world, you could stay pure as jade for Chang Ye."

Lin Xiaosu opened his eyes: "Aren’t you only accepting commissions from Chang Ye, paying me moderate attention? Yet, you’ve shifted that attention to this aspect, don’t you think this care is no longer moderate? And instead, appears a bit... excessive?"

Blue Demon’s eyebrows shot up: "This isn’t about being excessive or not, it’s a question of whether this bastard kid is worth her sacrifice. I have to see through the phenomena to grasp the essence, to see your true character!"

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze shifted lightly: "I just thought of a good idea."

Blue Demon’s attention was immediately diverted: "What?"

Lin Xiaosu said: "There’s a good way to provoke the conflict between Kun Sha and Du Tiange."

"Speak!" Blue Demon’s heart rate sped up.

This involved another skill of Lin Xiaosu’s, which was mission planning.

Last time he went to Fusang Country with Chang Ye, three things were poignant: the Disguise Technique, the special method of bringing back the Purple Magic Stone, and the planning.

For a plan to succeed, a perfect planning is indispensable.

Especially in complex situations.

Lin Xiaosu’s planning in Fusang Country was textbook-level; not a single step was superfluous, no half-step was mistaken.

This planning even had the Qianlong’s best strategist Bai Shui tapping his knee in approval.

Tonight, the great idea he came up with gave Blue Demon limitless expectations...

Lin Xiaosu spoke: "If we transformed into Du Tiange and raped Kun Sha’s favorite concubine, do you think Kun Sha would be enraged?"

Blue Demon froze: "We become Du Tiange? Play a rape game?"

"This isn’t a game, it’s strategy. Didn’t you just say it? The reason you are a demon is that you always target the goal, the rest, the branches and leaves, you ignore entirely?"

Blue Demon’s brow furrowed deeply: "I am a woman, I cannot carry out this strategy, thus the real implementer can only be you!"

"... It seems like it!" Lin Xiaosu also frowned: "Then the question is, if I do this, does this count as ’not remaining pure in the mundane world’? Does this phenomenon indicate a problem with my character?"

Blue Demon’s eyes underwent a change, layer upon layer, no telling what kind of little bubbles were about to pop up.

Lin Xiaosu looked into her eyes: "What’s the matter? Seems like you have a rather complex mindset, want to say something?"

"Sleep!"

Lin Xiaosu was very persuadable and immediately fell asleep as he lay down.

Blue Demon, with her endlessly fascinating eyes, watched him – if the brilliance in her eyes were a rope, she’d probably want to hang him up and give him a proper dealing.

This damn kid, had played a round of using her spear to attack her shield.

She had just said, keeping the mission as the base.

But in a turn, she stated another view, to see the essence through the phenomena in the mundane world.

This was actually contradictory.

At least in the dictionary of Qianlong, one could not see the essence through the phenomena.

The essence of Qianlong was to have the mission as the base, the body wasn’t one’s own, only serving as an aid to the mission.

How many Qianlong Warriors had suffered humiliations to complete their tasks, some even going as far as killing their own offspring, not to mention those trivial matters in the bedchamber?

Into the second half of the night, the two rested normally.

The next morning, they acted separately, applying the Transformation Skill and Disguise Technique across Shan State to gather information in their own ways.

As the sun set in the west, the two met up in the room.

Lin Xiaosu brewed a pot of tea, pouring a cup for Blue Demon.

He also cradled another cup for himself.

This was the moment to compile intelligence and analyze the next strategic steps.

"Your brilliant idea last night is probably unfeasible!" Blue Demon said, "From what I know, Kun Sha loves women, true, but he loves power even more. If Du Tiange rose up to rape his woman, there’s a good chance Kun Sha wouldn’t be enraged, but would directly gift the woman to Du Tiange for him to have his fill."

"Yeah, it seems that’s the quality of a great overlord; women are like clothes, wear them if you want, discard them after wearing. As long as his power remains, he will never worry about lacking new clothes," Lin Xiaosu said.

"Therefore, to truly provoke a conflict between him and Du Tiange, we need to find precisely what he really cares about." Blue Demon tasted the tea; "Killing his Genetic Masters might be more suitable."

This was the breakthrough Blue Demon had found.

Killing Kun Sha’s Genetic Masters.

Kun Sha was a warlord.

His power consisted of two aspects: the first was the regular troops, a hundred thousand strong army enough to acclaim himself as a warlord. The second was that he possessed over a dozen Genetic Masters, these masters could help him effectively suppress the leaders just below his hundred thousand strong army; these leaders and generals who dared to disobey would be killed by the Genetic Masters if required.

So, the Genetic Masters were the lifeblood of his power.

He would rather his women died a hundred times over than lose even one of these Genetic Masters.

"No!" Lin Xiaosu gently shook his head.

"No?" Blue Demon frowned. "The importance of a Genetic Master to him, even Du Tiange himself knows it. That’s why he turned a blind eye and let you kill Kun Sha’s Genetic Master with your own hands. With such a mentality, Du Tiange’s hunting down of Kun Sha’s Genetic Masters is completely logical. I think this strategy should have no problems..."

Kun Sha and Sai Tuo are rivals.

Their conflict has been long-standing and is showing signs of intensifying in the future.

In such a situation, it is Du Tiange’s hopeful strategy to constantly reduce the number of masters on Kun Sha’s side as Sai Tuo’s number one hitman.

This coincides with Du Tiange’s strategic decision to deliberately not save You Ying, even though he could have.

He himself wants the Genetic Masters around Kun Sha to die.

The more masters die, the more it weakens Kun Sha’s control and deterrence over his army of one hundred thousand.

Only then does Sai Tuo have the chance to suppress Kun Sha.

They can see this point, and naturally, Kun Sha can too.

In this situation, impersonating Du Tiange to deal a devastating blow to the Genetic Masters under Kun Sha, Kun Sha would believe it, which could truly incite conflict between them and drive Kun Sha to strategically target Du Tiange with a killing move.

Blue Demon feels there’s nothing wrong with this plan.

But Lin Xiaosu said no!

"Your strategy has two problems!" Lin Xiaosu stated. "Firstly, you’ve overlooked someone!"

"Who?"

"Kun Sha!" said Lin Xiaosu. "Are you sure that Kun Sha himself isn’t a master? If he is an Awakener himself, then killing his people by his side is fraught with danger!"

Blue Demon was suddenly shaken: "The Qianlong Information documents nearly all the Awakeners, but he’s not on the list... What information have you got?"

Lin Xiaosu gently shook his head. "There are records of Kun Sha taking action himself, which I have collected. They’re not enough to prove anything, but the special conditions of Qingmian Country make it a certainty that nobody can emerge from the tumultuous chaos and become the absolute head of a state without considerable skill. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that this person is an Awakener!"

Blue Demon pondered for a long time: "Tell me your second point."

"The second point focuses on Sai Tuo and Du Tiange," Lin Xiaosu said. "Clearly, Du Tiange hopes that the Genetic People around Kun Sha are wiped out, but why doesn’t he personally reduce the number of people around Kun Sha and even needs my hand to kill his people? Obviously, he is also wary of Kun Sha! If Du Tiange doesn’t dare to do it, we have no reason to do it for him."

Blue Demon took a deep breath out: "You’ve convinced me! Let’s hear your thoughts. Where do you think we should start?"

"Ta Ye!"

Lin Xiaosu spat out two words.

Ta Ye...

A flicker of strange light passed through Blue Demon’s eyes. "Share your thoughts..."

Lin Xiaosu was forthright...

Ta Ye was under Kun Sha’s command.

With only two thousand soldiers, not particularly numerous, yet he controlled the entirety of the Northern Shan Gang, providing massive support for Kun Sha.

This northern territory sees a continuous flow of fraudulently obtained funds and a flourishing network of drug smuggling.

Drug Lords had established a tight relationship with Kun Sha precisely because they could bypass the border and transport drugs to Daxia.

If Ta Ye were taken out, the benefits would be numerous.

Firstly, it would directly cut more than half of Kun Sha’s business, truly hurting him.

Secondly, his rage would be uncontrollable, and he would undoubtedly seek revenge on the murderers.

Thirdly, Du Tiange remains uninvolved, and do you know why? Because Sai Tuo has long wanted to extend his reach into Northern Shan State, and he has secretly supported three forces there. Unfortunately, under Ta Ye’s control, he simply couldn’t intervene. As soon as Ta Ye and his command staff die, these three forces will have their chance. Once these three forces put down roots in Northern Shan State, Sai Tuo would possess this treasured land of feng shui.

Therefore, even without framing Du Tiange explicitly, Kun Sha’s primary suspect would still be Du Tiange for Ta Ye’s demise.

Blue Demon slowly stood up: "When do we act?"

The discussion did not continue, only one question remained—when to act?

This is Blue Demon’s way: not to cling to areas outside her expertise. Lin Xiaosu is skilled at planning, and she finally sees and learns from that, simply accepting!

"Tonight!" Lin Xiaosu’s gaze lifted as if he could see the Gongchun Mountain outpost through the window.

Gongchun Mountain outpost; the main enemy is the Ta Ye clan.

Each year, more than a dozen soldiers die at the border, and their deep-seated hatred falls on Ta Ye.

He listed many benefits, but there were two he didn’t mention...

One was vengeance!

The other was to provide an opportunity for development!

There’s no need to elaborate on vengeance: dare to kill our border soldiers, and I’ll topple your stronghold!

What does providing an opportunity for development mean?

With Ta Ye’s death, Northern Shan would fall into chaos, contended over by numerous warlords, leaving them no capacity to plan cross-border attacks. The outpost would have a period of peace.

Using this peace, have all seventeen soldiers of the outpost step through the portal of Ancient Martial Techniques.

Once the big picture on this side is settled, the defense capabilities on that side will have reached a higher level.

He omitted these two points because Blue Demon is the Qianlong King.

The concept of revenge has never been in the Qianlong lexicon.

And in the dictionary of the Qianlong King, the weight of an outpost is evidently not significant.

But what about Lin Xiaosu?

He’s just an ordinary person!

You damn near killed my brother, and I wouldn’t deserve to be called Lin’s son if I didn’t hit you where it hurts!

Sorry, but my dictionary puts private grievances of paramount importance!
