I Am Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 692 - 265: Differences in Thought, Pink Taoist Soldier (5k)_3

"Brother Wen, these aren't ghosts or zombies, they're my Spirit Soldiers."

Zhang Qihui quickly explained, he was afraid people would misunderstand.

Out here, he couldn't use the Celestial Master Mansion's name, and even less the Zhang Family's name.

"Spirit Soldiers?" Wen Yan looked closely, this was outside his area of expertise.

Wen Yan watched carefully. One of the skeletons couldn't help itself, looking all shy, hurried to pick up its skin suit off the ground, the whole pile of bones twisting as it scurried back to the cabin.

Once a skeleton moved, the rest copied it, quickly grabbing their skin suits, hugging them to their chests, and heading back into the cabin.

"..." Wen Yan was speechless, as if to say, I'm not some kind of pervert!

"Brother Wen, please don't mind them. My Spirit Soldiers are a little different—they have their own consciousness."

"It's fine, this is the first time I've heard of Spirit Soldiers too." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"It's like that 'scattering beans to summon soldiers' move. I thought it was insanely cool when I was a kid.

Too bad, later I found out, learning it is a real pain, and not just any beans will do.

Later on, I tried studying it myself, but never figured it out.

After that, I just relied on technology, and finally made it happen.

Look at these girls, they're great, they go fishing and play games with me.

Most importantly, they never screw me over. I can trust them a hundred percent."

Zhang Qihui was all animated as he spoke, unable to stop himself from showing off. Very obviously, he was super satisfied with his Spirit Soldiers.

"Are they like the Yellow Turban Fighters?"

"Nope, I call these Pink Taoist Soldiers."

Just then, Wen Yan saw a few long-haired, long-legged girls in skimpy outfits come out. At first glance, you wouldn't think they weren't human at all.

Wen Yan then looked at Zhang Qihui, and could already imagine the complicated expressions the elders of the Celestial Master Mansion must have when dealing with him.

No wonder the word on the street is just that Zhang Qihui is super talented, but also a bit of a loose cannon.

The talent part, for sure, is legit.

Scattering beans to make soldiers is one of the most wondrous secret techniques. Wen Yan honestly hadn't known before that "soldiers" here referred to Spirit Soldiers.

At least from what Wen Yan knew, people who could pull off that move were few enough to count on one hand, and the beans they used were definitely not your average soybeans.

Wen Yan had heard that in the Scorching Sun Department, there were some beans labeled as wondrous items that could summon Yellow Turban Fighters directly.

As for Taoists who haven't received the teaching talisman, Wen Yan had never heard of anyone able to do this.

This guy's got serious talent...

It's just these Spirit Soldiers—there's really nothing you can say. As long as Zhang Qihui likes them, whatever.

The girls in skimpy outfits who you totally couldn't tell weren't human, after the boat slowed and stabilized, brought out tea sets, moved chairs and little tables over, and knelt obediently to make tea.

"Mr. Wen, please have some tea."

Wen Yan drank the tea, staring at the girl for a while. She actually seemed shy, her face even a little red.

"Brother Wen, they're my Spirit Soldiers, my beloved friends and family. There's no way I'd give them away." Zhang Qihui quickly chimed in from the side.

"What are you thinking? I just wanted to ask, where did you get these eyes? The craftsmanship is incredible, you can't even tell they're fake, and they're so bright and lively. I want to get a pair for someone."

"Oh, that...," Zhang Qihui exhaled, then grinned. "That's easy. Here, Brother Wen, add me as a friend, I'll send you a live pic later. Just tell me what style you like and I'll give you a pair."

Looking at the obedient girls serving tea beside him, Wen Yan still felt a bit uncomfortable—like something was crawling all over him, seriously weird.

He thought for a second, then put out a finger and touched one girl on the forehead, channeling a bit of Yang Energy into her.

In an instant, that Pink Taoist Soldier who looked just like a live person but lacked a bit of true vitality, suddenly became lively, even had a touch of human-like Yang Energy on her.

The girl's eyes widened, mouth dropped open, even her voice got higher.

"Thank you, Mr. Wen! Oh, Mr. Wen, are you hungry? I'll go cook you something."

Then, one minute later, another Pink Taoist Soldier swapped in and brought Wen Yan a plate of sliced fruit, looking at him expectantly.

Wen Yan was speechless. He called for all of them to come out and blessed each one with Yang Energy.

Even the Pink Taoist Soldier who thought her skin suit was nothing but rust and scraps put on the damaged suit and squeezed over.

At this moment, Wen Yan's phone rang—it was Feng Yao calling.

"Wen Yan, did you just wipe out a bunch of Water Ghosts in the Southern Sea?"

"Wow, news travels fast to you."

"I got a tip-off that something went down over there and you happened to be nearby. Before I even said anything, I get another update that you group-wiped those Water Ghosts."

"Actually, I've got something to run by you..."

Wen Yan filled her in on the intel he'd gotten from the Water Ghosts.

No way was he just going to charge hundreds of nautical miles off the coast to go toe-to-toe with some unknown dude.

Better to check with the Scorching Sun Department first and get the details. If worst comes to worst, just call it a routine drill—no big deal.

While Wen Yan was on the phone, in the cabin, eight girls clustered around Zhang Qihui, with two of them hanging onto his arms.

"Boss, can we go play in Nanwu County? I heard they have a lot of fishing spots there..."

"Yeah, yeah, and I heard there's tons of good food in Nanwu County too, plus game companies..."

Zhang Qihui glanced over his Pink Taoist Soldiers and casually brushed them off.

"Go fishing in Nanwu County? What, so we can fish tilapia?"

He also noticed that the Pink Taoist Soldiers seemed totally transformed—whatever bits about them that didn't feel human were now filled in, now their aura felt just like real people, Yang Energy circulating naturally.

How to describe that sensation? He couldn't really put it into words.

"Boss~ haven't you noticed?"

One girl stood tall, right up in Zhang Qihui's face.

"Noticed what? All I noticed is you guys have Yang Energy now."

At that, another girl chimed in.

"We've started to have souls, you know? That feeling, do you get it? It's like we're finally starting to have souls."

"Yeah, boss, can we go to Nanwu County? Let us get jobs to support you, then you can fish and play games all day."

"The eight of us will go work, make money, and buy you new fishing rods and new games."
