Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 942 - 9: After Discussing Business, Personal Matters Still Need to Be Discussed
Wang Yunxiao, in principle, doesn’t oppose the idea of getting an illustration with the purchase of toilet paper.
But since this story involves Li Mumu, he couldn’t help but consider it carefully.
To eliminate the karma of pollution, does Li Mumu have to debut as an idol? What an international joke!
"The cost of illustrations is too high, the police department doesn’t have the budget."
After pondering for a moment, he came up with an excuse offhandedly.
Even the landlord’s house has no surplus grain.
Previously, Li Mumu’s donations were made in the name of medical expenses. It so happens that the reconstruction of New Asia Hospital needed funds, and the police department still owed the hospital a debt, while Eldest Miss Li happened to have an account to settle with New Asia Hospital.
Although he didn’t know when she got involved with New Asia Hospital.
But ultimately, this amount of money was like going through a round in accounting and returned to her hands. If not for this, Qin Xiangdong would not have easily accepted this "bribe" money.
The police department is still broke, that’s a fact.
"If you don’t like the idea of your wife’s image being used for someone’s vulgar fantasies, there’s another way."
Shen Qingxi was obviously prepared.
This woman is quite terrifying when she’s in a normal state of mind.
Well... whether her mind is normal or not, she’s terrifying, just in varying degrees.
"I wonder if Commander Wang has heard of the religious activities in the Fujian and Guangdong regions?"
"I’ve heard a bit, what specifically are you referring to?"
"The locals in the Fujian and Guangdong regions have a traditional custom of worshipping and venerating the Official Ghost Generals."
"The so-called Official Ghost Generals were originally two Ghost Kings causing trouble in the Mortal World, who, after being subdued by the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, became the Bodhisattva’s protectors and were tasked to protect mankind under the Bodhisattva’s decree. During festivals, locals invite the Official Ghost Generals from the temple to tour the surroundings, symbolizing the subduing of demons and eliminating evil, averting disasters."
"The Yuanxiao Festival just ended, and the festive atmosphere is still lingering. In a few days, it will be the Dragon Raising Its Head Festival on the second day of the second month, perfect timing to hold a ritual ceremony, coupled with the spread of storytelling booklets, to completely dispel the fears in people’s minds."
"Are you suggesting we shape the three attendants under Lizu into figures like the Official Ghost Generals?"
Wang Yunxiao thought for a moment and realized there was indeed some feasibility.
But he didn’t have the capability to organize a scene that grand.
To start with... you at least need a temple, right?
"You only need to apply to the Special Service Bureau; if you get approval from above, you can leave the rest to me."
Shen Qingxi patted her chest, confidently taking on the responsibility.
If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t contact Xia Yubing now, it wouldn’t have been this complicated.
I am the Longevity Sect Master, and now also a Sage of the Mechanical God Sect, with both money and people at my disposal.
Handling such a trivial matter is no challenge.
"Alright, I’ll write the report, you handle it."
Whether there are any ulterior motives inside, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t care less; as long as the Special Service Bureau approves it, it’s not his worry.
"Now that we’ve discussed business, shall we talk about personal matters?"
After settling things with Wang Yunxiao, Shen Qingxi immediately relaxed and displayed the eccentric demeanor Wang Yunxiao was familiar with.
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself, great, she’s about to show her true colors!
"Miss Shen, I don’t understand, is there any personal matter between us worth discussing?"
The private relationship between the two of them... is basically equal to 0.
"Of course, we’re going to talk about your good wife, my dear friend, the beautiful and kind-hearted Li Mumu."
Shen Qingxi shrugged and said, "Some things involve personal privacy, which I cannot easily share with you."
Like time travel.
"But if my deductions are correct, Li Mumu might encounter very troublesome problems in the future."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yunxiao immediately perked up.
"What do you mean by very troublesome problems?"
She’s already like this; isn’t that troublesome enough?
"Speaking to an insider, let’s skip the layman’s terms. Ignoring the cause and talking about the result alone, Li Mumu might not withstand the Great Tide... do you know what the Great Tide is?"
"Isn’t it the more dangerous temporal tide disturbance than this window period?"
"You can understand it that way, but it might be even more dangerous than you imagine. Because the window period we’ve just passed through was essentially a ’low tide’ state."
Shen Qingxi patiently explained to Wang Yunxiao, "A low tide state means exposing this time node, so various forces rushed to set up plans during this window, including the birth of Li Mumu’s sister. When the next high tide comes... you understand what I mean, right? That’s when it’s most dangerous, as the Great Tide will sweep away everything on the tidal flat."
Wang Yunxiao’s heart tightened.
"Does that mean Li Mumu..."
"Will be swept away, literally."
Shen Qingxi nodded, "I know these words may not be pleasant to hear, but the fact I must tell you is—no matter how deep and strong your affection is, it can at most only last until the next Great Tide. And then... you may never get to see each other again in this life."
Wang Yunxiao furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "How to solve this?"
"Break up!"
"Are you kidding me?"
I just damn well got into a relationship!
"That’s a tangible and feasible solution; without feelings, there won’t be heartache. I understand it might be too cruel for you two, and there’s another way."
Shen Qingxi said seriously, "Cooperate with me and search for clues to the Doomsday Plan."
"What Doomsday Plan?"
Wang Yunxiao often heard about the Doomsday Plan and generally understood what it was about, but never having experienced it personally, he lacked a direct sense of it.
Even Yanmie mentioned before leaving that he was also part of the Doomsday Plan, but he had no memory of it at all.
"There are many Doomsday Plans; if you can find a clue to one of them, you might be able to get your wife a ticket or something... I can’t say for sure; we can only leave it to luck."
Shen Qingxi spread her hands and said, "Take the Twelve Dharma Gate System as an example, if you’re confident in reaching the so-called Constellation level before the next Great Tide, maybe you can save your lovely wife?"
You make it sound easy; cultivating this stuff is not the usual hassle.
Wang Yunxiao thought for a moment and asked, "Why don’t you directly tell Li Mumu about this? Why are you coming to me? Is there a need to hide it from her?"
Eldest Miss Li is not a greenhouse flower.
"I will tell her, but not now."
Shen Qingxi lowered her voice and said, "I suspect there’s a mole among us."
"Who?"
"The Chief of the Containment Department of the Special Service Bureau, Xia Yubing."
