I had Chun Jack kill the old man, as he is already half dead and interrogating an old and experienced man, including the fact, that he is rank 4, is really challenging. It is much easier to keep a simple girl in check. I searched her aperture and I learned a way to use Baby Dao Alchemist on owned Gu worms.
I got 300+ Gu points from her Gu worms, quite good NGL. The old man already detonated all of his Gu worms, as that is what an experienced person would do in such a situation.
Zhang Bei Yun is tied up and she has no Gu worms to fight us or escape, so I could freely search for those damn pigs. 10 minutes after we secured the extra, I realized why the Gong Zhu squad didn't come out to help us. The fuckers abandoned us!
The saying "We fear not God-like rivals, but pig-like team members" is quite accurate for my shitty situation. I did manage to take down a god-like opponent, but I couldn't maximize my benefits because of literal pig teammates.
The boars abandoned us. Probably because I let them keep their free will and didn't enslave them. I made a mistake with them and I can admit that. I trusted wild animals to be more loyal than feral and paid the price for it. I got betrayed and used by them. Tales Of Ren Zu are even applicable to animals.
Enough of that, I want information about the outsiders world, as I only know of a couple high-tier clans, such as Shang, Tie and Wu, but not much else. Wu clan is quite famous, as the leader of southern border. It is huge and has its influence spread wide, so I will have to account for them.
Now is the time to get the scoop I want! " Brother Jack, I would appreciate you waking her up. Try using Guts's bloodlust to scare her awake. It would do us good if she is scared awake, as panicked people tend to talk more!"
Chun Jack nodded and said "I never really understood how exactly Guts works. He can project emotions, but he is an infant, with no knowledge of the world. Quite a marvelous little baby."
I smile at the caring father side of my brother and say "C'mon dude, I need information. You can be a dad after you wake her up." He sighed and swung Guts down onto the helpless girl.
Within an instant, an inhuman amount of bloodlust broke out and Zhang Bei Yun suddenly woke up "mhpmf! Mmmm! Mhmph!" and she fainted again. Fuck! "I think I overdid it." I raise my eyebrow at this and say "You think?! Screw it! I'll just use my dream path Gu world to invade her privacy and get going. Sweet dreams pillow, activate!"
This is a rank 2 Dream path Gu worm I have been using for a while to enter my own dreams and train wisdom path there. It is really weird how dream path works. Even I don't fully understand why I can enter wisdom path dreams using this pillow shaped Gu.
I suddenly fall asleep and wake up looking like an old man. "Maybe I can steal her attainment from this dream realm? That would be a decent side-benefit to this whole situation."
The body might be old, but I am still young and curious, so I will explore and find the dreamer! Now where could she be?
Not under my bed...
Not in this dining area...
Not with her father...
There she is! She is cultivating outside in the academy! She should be about 23 or so in the outside world, so I am guessing this is about 6 or 7 years prior. I power walk over towards her and reach the young girl. "Hello there, young miss. How has your cultivation progressed recently?"
She looks up at me with a repulsive expression and says "Get away from me, old pervert Dong! My father has already told you no! Even if my talent is low, I will still not marry you, you old creep!"
Okay, weird. At least now I know why she ran away and she is an actual runaway. Now I understand why sagely luck corrected my train of thought. She did run away and she isn't that talented, but she is decent. Especially that face. Even I wouldn't be against marrying someone with a face that cute. Her body is shit, so I think she wasn't wearing a sash to hide her breasts. She naturally has none!
This old man has some weird-ass taste! "Now now, young miss, you know full well our agreement! If you can't satisfy it, you will have to satisfy me!" The perverted and weird smile on my face cemented it all and she looked at me with horror. "D-d-did my f-father agree to your proposal?!"
I laughed with that famous pervert face you see in anime "Che che che! I wonder, I wonder!" She screams and says "This can't be happening! This can't BE happening! This is a dream, a dream! I will just kill myself and wake up! That's it! I will most definitely wake up!"
This bitch is insane! What kind of deal did this guy propose to warrant such an adverse reaction? She literally stabbed herself through her heart using a sword path Gu worm and died.
The dream realm hasn't ended. I guess she feels comfort, now that she is a soul and is spectating this. I need to shock her awake harder. And I have a weird Idea on how to do it! Bruh I feel dirty just thinking about it!
I gulp with the perverted smile on my face and head over to the bleeding corpse. I get behind it and lift up its skirt and see a pair of pink underwear. I reach for it to pull it down and the dream world shattered around me. Guess traumatizing her worked. She should be a lot more cooperative now.
Huh, I feel like my sword path attainment just increased a bit. Guess I now know her path.
I woke up and could see Zhang Bei Yun laying next to me. Her eyes were hollow and dead. I try to stand up, but my legs are wobbly. "I guess it took some of my soul's strength to allow me passage. How you doing Zhang Bei Yun?"
She looked at me with her hollow and dead eyes and said "kill me! Even if I live, I will only become that wretched old man's plaything. I'll do anything, as long as you just end me!" I think I overdid it a little bit, but I can work with this.
"Nah! You have far more value alive. From what I understand, I can probably sell you to curry favour with a rank 4 or potentially even a rank 5. What benefit can you, a rank 3 nobody, who has been robbed clean offer me?" She looks at me with her hollow eyes and says "I can't offer you anything. I will offer you myself. I will willingly become your slave, as long as you change my face and promise me to eliminate Zhang Wang Dong when you reach rank 5 in the future! I am confident my worth is well above a common slave!"
Okay! Now we are getting somewhere! Her being enslaved means I will get all the information from her and I can even sell her back to her clan afterwards! Now that is a good deal! Though I wouldn't mind a blow job from her, I am more benefitsexual than horny and I want all of dem benefits!
I look at her with a serious face and say "I swear on my family name of Gu Yue, I will honour this deal!" She smiles at me and I nod. I buy a rank 2 enslavement Gu, which cost me like 83 Gu points, the costly son of a bitch, and use it on her. Without the slightest bit of resistance, ahe accepted it and became my slave.
"Now, I want all the information you possess of. That includes the top clans of southern border, the trade routes, its most popular merchants, cultural information, Gu worm expertise, cultivation commodities and etc. Don't skimp out on anything and I don't want you to miss a single valuable line of information!"
Zhang Bei Yun is her actual name?! What a shitty undercover agent! She really is a flower under a greenhouse, under a weird greenhouse, but a greenhouse nonetheless.
