Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 665 Returning Home
"94, you've arrived!"

The first to speak was the large fox with seven tails.

"I originally thought you would use my power to deal with those two fourth-level Molten Gods, but I didn't expect you to not cause them any trouble."

The large fox walked up to Chen Jie, who glanced at it upon hearing this and said, "Third Sister?"

The big fox chuckled and said, "It's me, you haven't mistaken me for someone else."

Chen Jie laughed and said, "It really is Third Sister. I originally wanted to cause trouble for those two, but I gave up after thinking about it. Those two guys are really difficult to deal with. Even if I borrowed Third Sister's power, I'm afraid it would be difficult to keep them on this land outside the pass."

"Since you can't do it, then don't waste your time. I'm not in the mood to keep fighting with him."

Hearing this, Grandma Hu said, "Your choice may not be a bad one. You're right. Although we hate those two people, it's easy for us to defeat them with our current strength, but it's almost impossible to keep them here completely."

"There is no need to get angry with them. Let them be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain; let them be arrogant, the bright moon still shines on the river."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, a cheer suddenly came from behind, followed by the sight of a weasel approaching. This weasel was quite interesting in appearance, with a pure yellow coat, two small white whiskers on its mouth, and a thick stick in its hand.

At this moment, he slowly walked over, looked at Chen Jie, and said: "Good, well said. Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain; let him be arrogant, the bright moon still shines on the great river. This truly captures the spirit of our immortals beyond the Great Wall. Good, good!"

Chen Jie looked at the weasel in front of him with some confusion and asked, "Who is this?"

Grandma Hu said, "Oh, the head of the Huang family, just call him Second Brother."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Second Brother Huang."

The weasel immediately said, "Hey, hey, don't be so polite. We're all family here, no need to be so formal. This trip to the earth veins has really been hard on you. If it weren't for you, we would have let that Golden Toad get his hands on us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately replied, "Second Brother Huang, you're too kind. This is all I should do. Didn't I also use Third Sister's strength to defeat those enemies?"

"It's different, it's different!"

The weasel then waved its hand and said, "Our immortals begged you first, and everything that followed happened on that basis, so we should still owe you a favor."

Chen Jie wanted to refuse again, but then a slightly cold voice came: "We immortals don't give favors indiscriminately. You deserve this favor."

Chen Jie looked up and saw a huge head, a giant snake with a scar on its face. Hu Santai immediately introduced, "Old Master Chang, you can just call him Third Brother."

"Third Brother Chang".

Grandma Hu chuckled and said, "Brother Chang usually drinks cold drinks, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to talk to you. You must have some affinity with the immortals."

As they were talking, Hu Santai said, "And this is the head of the Bai family, you call him Fourth Brother."

"Fourth Brother Bai".

At this point, the hedgehog was very polite. When it came to the fifth one, the big rat, without even needing Grandma Hu's introduction, the big rat took the initiative to come up and said, "Hehe, I don't need an introduction. Just call me Old Gray. I'm the one who does odd jobs for the bosses."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie dared not underestimate this giant rat. He knew that during his trip to the earth veins, he had witnessed the terrifying power of the ubiquitous rats. They were arguably the most powerful intelligence system in the world, providing 360-degree surveillance without any blind spots.

Chen Jie then clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Brother Hui Wu."

puff……

Upon hearing this, all the immortals laughed. Chen Jie was somewhat surprised, and at this moment, Hu San Tai Nai said, "Fifth Brother is a girl. It's not appropriate for her to call him Fifth Brother."

"Hmm? A young lady?"

Chen Jie was quite surprised, but Hu San Tai Nai laughed and said, "Hehe, that's right, she's a young lady, just call her Fifth Sister."

At this moment, the big rat said, "It is like this, we rats are mainly focused on reproduction, so our clan respects women."

Chen Jie clasped his hands in greeting, indicating that he had learned something new. The immortals then exchanged pleasantries with Chen Jie, and as they talked, they began to talk about the Golden Toad. Master Huang said, "The most despicable one this time is that bastard Golden Toad. I didn't expect him to get away. Otherwise, I would have definitely taught him a lesson."

The white hedgehog said, "The golden toad really went too far. It actually attacked from behind and almost hurt Third Sister. It's utterly despicable."

The giant snake said, "I said back then that we shouldn't release that Golden Toad. Its power still makes me ache."

As the giant snake spoke, everyone looked at the scars on its face, scars inflicted by the golden toad.

Thinking this, Grandma Hu said, "Alright everyone, there's no need to take some things too seriously. This time it was a close call, but we got the Golden Lotus in the end."

Upon hearing this, all the immortals nodded in agreement. Grandma Hu San looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Jiu Si, can this Golden Lotus be returned to my immortal clan as promised?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie showed no hesitation and handed the golden lotus to Hu Santai Nai, saying, "As promised, here it is!"

Upon seeing the golden lotus, Hu San Tai Nai and the others couldn't take their eyes off it. These immortals relied on the earth's veins for survival, so the earth vein golden lotus was extremely useful to them. With this earth vein golden lotus, they would remain the masters of this land for a long time to come.

In the land beyond the Great Wall, the Five Immortals still call the shots.

Grandma Hu looked at the golden lotus and then swallowed it whole. As the leader of all the immortals, she had the responsibility and authority to preserve the golden lotus.

After swallowing the golden lotus, Grandma Hu once again led the immortals to express their gratitude to Chen Jie. Chen Jie also kept up the pleasantries with them. If this scene were seen by outsiders, it would be utterly astonishing. After all, who could believe that a person could be drinking and making merry with a group of small animals?

Chen Jie, holding a wine cup, joined the immortals. After five rounds of wine and five courses of food, they ate and drank to their hearts' content, exchanging toasts without any restraint. And so, the night passed.

Chen Jie ate to his heart's content, thoroughly enjoying the delicacies from beyond the Great Wall. He also drank to his heart's content, and after a satisfying meal, he slept soundly in the Immortal Cave.

But at this moment, dozens of miles away on Tianchi Lake, the surroundings were quiet. Everyone had long since run away, but there were still two people squatting by the lake. The two people squatted there without saying a word, just staring at Tianchi Lake.

As dawn broke in the east, Tong Wei sniffed and said, "Hey Lao Tang, we've been waiting all night. Is Chen Jiu Si going to die in the dragon vein?"

Tang Bao, with his hands tucked into his sleeves like an old farmer, said, "Impossible. Chen Jiu Si's strength is terrifying. How could he possibly die in the Dragon Vein? Don't talk nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Tong Wei said, "It's been a whole night, why hasn't anyone come out yet?"

Tang Bao said, "I'm puzzled too. What happened?" Tong Wei said, "I went down into the Heavenly Pool three times, and there wasn't a single hair left. The gate to the Dragon Vein has already closed. How could Chen Jiu Si just disappear into thin air like this?"

"That's right."

Tang Bao looked worried. Tong Wei asked, "Are we still waiting?"

Tang Bao said, "We've been waiting all night, are we just going to let all this go to waste?"

"What if we don't give up now? Are we just going to wait?"

Tong Wei said with a bitter face, "If you want to wait, then wait. I am a local overlord, a top expert of the fourth level of the Fusion God, a rare figure in the world. Now I am squatting here like a thug who has come to collect a debt, waiting like an idiot. I am not waiting anymore. I don't have time to play with that guy surnamed Chen. If I want to play, I will go back, gather my troops, and raid his old nest."

"I am leaving."

As Tong Wei spoke, he stood up abruptly, then turned and headed straight down the mountain. Tang Bao, seeing that Tong Wei was no longer waiting, looked at Tianchi and said, "Let this cooked duck fly away."

He shook his head, then turned and left, heading straight down the mountain. At the same time, he said to Tong Wei, "Old Tong, wait for me. Are you really planning to send troops to attack Huangzhou Prefecture? Weren't we stopped last time?"

"Huangzhou Prefecture is not easy to conquer; it has a very deep pocket."

Tang Bao said, and Tong Wei replied, "Isn't Chen Jiu Si just relying on Yuan San Jia and that poisonous snake? I don't believe we won't have a chance to get close to him. I'll find another fourth-level Fusion God to deal with him!"

"Ah, Brother Tong, you have friends who are at the fourth level of the Melting God realm?"

Tang Bao was somewhat shocked. Tong Wei said, "Of course. Do you think I've been in seclusion overseas all these years for nothing? Let me tell you, there's an island called Dongying just outside Liaodong. They also have experts there. I know one of their experts, a ninja known as the God of Koga. He's a formidable fellow. When I get back, I'll immediately write a letter inviting him to come to the Central Plains to help us deal with Chen Jiu Si."

Upon hearing this, Tang Bao frowned and said, "Old Tong, isn't it inappropriate to bring foreigners into the Central Plains?"

Tong Wei asked, "What's wrong with it?"

Tang Bao said, "Besides us, there is still a top expert in the Central Plains. If a foreigner enters the Central Plains and is discovered by that expert, it will likely cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, Tong Wei looked at Tang Bao and said, "That is indeed a problem. That old Taoist Zhang is truly terrifying and should not be underestimated."

Tang Bao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, yes, if we offend him, we'll probably all suffer the consequences."

Tong Wei said, “In that case, let’s have that person from Zhongnan Mountain send a letter to Old Daoist Zhang to ask him. If Old Daoist Zhang doesn’t allow it, we’ll tell him to find a way to keep those Miao people in the Southern Frontier from getting involved. Even if he can’t control the Miao people, he can at least control that big snake. As long as the big snake doesn’t make a move, I can drive straight in and head straight for Huangzhou Prefecture.”

“When the time comes, you will raise an army from the west, and I will raise an army from the south. We will attack from both sides. Chen Jiu Si only has Yuan San Jia. We will fight two against one. Even if Yuan San Jia has a great reputation, he will have to back down.”

"Is this possible?"

Tang Bao frowned slightly.

Tong Wei said, "What's wrong with that? As Master Zhang said, the Japanese are beasts. A country of beasts cannot interfere with our Chinese country. That's why we don't allow Japan to lay a finger on China."

"Now, the Miao region is using a snake to influence the competition among humans. Does that snake count as a beast?"

"So Old Zhang either has to admit that beasts can also participate in the struggle for supremacy, or he has to stop both sides. Only in this way can he convince the public. Hasn't he always considered himself the most just and fair?"

"This time, let's force him to make the right choice!"

As Tong Wei finished speaking, a look of triumph appeared on his face. Looking at Tong Wei like this, Tang Bao thought about Tong Wei's idea and realized that it actually made some sense. If you want to prohibit beasts from entering the battlefield, then you should prohibit them all.

Don't let just any Tom, Dick, or Harry come. If we don't allow it, then we'll find some beasts to help us.

Of course, if Master Zhang were to take sides, there would be no need to continue this struggle for supremacy. After all, in front of Master Zhang, who isn't just a greenhorn?
Having figured this out, Tang Bao said, "It's good to test Zhang Laodao's attitude. It will be of great benefit to us and the forces behind us."

After saying this, Tang Bao looked at Tong Wei and said, "Then let's not rush. Let's go to Zhongnan Mountain first."

Tong Wei said, "Alright."

Tang Bao said, "Originally, I was thinking of blocking Chen Jie at Shanhaiguan, but now I think I should give up. If we can really invite your Japanese friend over, this Chen Jiu Si is nothing more than a minor ailment."

Tong Wei said, "Haha, that's right, that's right, no matter what, this world should be ours. We've worked so hard for this day, how can we let Chen Jiu Si take it away so easily? Don't worry, don't worry."

With that, Tang Bao and Tong Wei left together, but halfway there Tong Wei suddenly said, "Old Tang, what you just said about blocking Chen Jiu Si at Shanhaiguan is also a good idea."

Tang Bao was dumbfounded. Hadn't he been talking for a long time?

Tong Wei said, "If we can stop him at Shanhaiguan and kill him, we won't need to write to Japan for help. I really don't like those little brats. Let's avoid them if we can avoid it."

Upon hearing this, Tang Bao said, "The probability of blocking Chen Jiu Si at Shanhaiguan is not high."

"That's alright, it's an opportunity nonetheless."

Tong Weidao.

Tang Bao said, "Alright, then let's wait for him at Shanhaiguan for three days. If he doesn't come in three days, we'll go to Zhongnan Mountain."

"it is good."

The two headed straight for Shanhaiguan. At this time, Chen Jie woke up in the Immortal Cave and saw the sumptuous feast that had been prepared. Chen Jie suggested saying goodbye to Hu San Tai Nai and the others. Hu San Tai Nai and the others invited him to stay, but Chen Jie declined, saying that he was homesick.

Seeing that Chen Jiegui was so determined, Grandma Hu San didn't say anything more and simply agreed.

Before leaving, they prepared a large amount of Northeast delicacies for Chen Jie, including century-old ginseng, deer antler, sable fur, dried mushrooms, grouse, and even two large black bears, which can be described as a very generous hospitality.

Incidentally, the immortals also found the missing Du Xiong, and a large group of people carrying a bunch of things saw Chen Jie off.

Grandma Hu San looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Jiu Si, I won't say anything more. In the future, if you need anything when you come to the Northeast, just come to us immortals. We'll do what we can, and we'll find a way to do what we can't!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you all, immortals. I'll take my leave now!"
