CHAPTER 406: CHAPTER 240: CHAOS, FLOWER, SWORDFISH, ENCHANTING (TWO IN ONE)

The next day.

Ten kilometers outside Demon Eye Base City, Black Zinc Forest.

Lin Yan cautiously followed behind Qin Shou, occasionally glancing around the silent black forest, her face growing increasingly vigilant.

"My lord, why have you brought me here? What do you intend to do?"

Lin Yan stopped walking, refusing to take another step forward.

Qin Shou turned around and couldn’t help but smirk. If I had ulterior motives, wouldn’t realizing it now be too late?

"I’m bringing you to see someone."

"Who?"

"Bai Yan." Qin Shou’s face remained expressionless.

Lin Yan’s expression lit up: "What? Bai... he has returned?"

Her face then darkened, and she stared intensely at Qin Shou.

"You want to use me as bait to capture Bai Yan?"

Qin Shou revealed a faint smile but didn’t reply.

Lin Yan turned her head away, her expression returning to normal.

"My lord, you must be mistaken. He is merely a server at the shop..."

Before she could finish, Qin Shou raised his hand to interrupt: "Enough, spare me your love story."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, and the Monkey Avatar, disguised as "Qin Shou," leapt down from the treetops.

"Human!"

Lin Yan couldn’t sense the Demon Eye aura from the "Qin Shou" before her and was visibly startled.

How could a human infiltrate Demon Eye territory and appear near Demon Eye Base City without a sound?

"My lord, what is the meaning of this?" Lin Yan looked at Qin Shou with heightened suspicion.

Qin Shou pointed at the Monkey Avatar and said to Lin Yan: "This is a human prodigy from Earth Base City, entrusted by Bai Yan to take you away from here and bring you to Earth Base City."

The Monkey Avatar nodded appropriately and handed a Constant Star Energy Crystal to Qin Shou in front of Lin Yan.

"That’s right. Bai Yan has now defected to Earth, and the condition was to ensure you are brought back to Earth Base City.

Follow me back. Earth Base City doesn’t care whether you’re a Three-eyed Demon or a Two-eyed Demon; you can... do whatever you want." He said to Lin Yan.

Qin Shou suspected that a certain word was intentionally emphasized by the Monkey Avatar.

Meanwhile, Lin Yan was skeptical about Bai Yan defecting to Earth.

But Qin Shou didn’t concern himself with this; he only brought Lin Yan here to inform her and make her a witness.

Qin Shou was able to take Lin Yan to Earth Base City because he had bribed a Four-eyed Demon.

Everything seemed perfectly reasonable.

Before Lin Yan could voice her doubts, Qin Shou nodded to the Monkey Avatar.

Following his instruction, the Monkey Avatar swiftly knocked Lin Yan unconscious, tied her up, took the "Demon Card" Qin Shou had handed him, disguised themselves as a Three-eyed Demon, and leapt onto the Gold-eating Insect Cloud, vanishing into the sky.

After completing this... er, task, Qin Shou returned to the fourth floor of Demon Eye Base City to attend the mission "interview."

The "interview" went smoothly, and Qin Shou officially received the task-related materials.

The next day, at the Demon Eye Base City’s main square, five Demon Eye Star People who had accepted the task officially gathered.

Three Five-eyed Demons and two Four-eyed Demons appeared, according to the task details.

Qin Shou was, of course, one of the Four-eyed Demons.

"Greetings, brother. I’m Swordfish Eye. In this team, you’re my fellow Four-eyed Demon, so we’ll have to watch each other’s backs on this journey, or it could get tough."

A plump Four-eyed man with drooping Dead Fish Eyes approached Qin Shou and whispered.

Qin Shou’s cheek twitched. Swordfish Eye?

It might as well be Dead Fish Eye!

"Haha, of course, of course." Qin Shou replied casually.

At that moment, among the three Five-eyed Demons, a white-haired teenage girl squinted her eyes, openly appraising Qin Shou and Swordfish Eye, before arrogantly speaking.

"You two, listen closely. I am Charming Eyes. On this journey, you will both follow my orders!"

After speaking, the two Five-eyed Demons standing beside her, seemingly her bodyguards, glared sharply, radiating a powerful aura.

"I am Luanyan."

"I am Flower Eye."

"We are Miss Charming Eyes’ most loyal bodyguards."

"From now on, all the grunt work during the trip is your responsibility."

"Do you understand?"

The two of them took turns giving commands in sharp, belittling tones.

Swordfish Eye naturally nodded and bowed repeatedly, not daring to argue.

In his mind, this was fitting.

As for Qin Shou... he imitated accordingly.

This was Demon Eye Base City; troublemakers were not tolerated here.

And concerning dead men, Qin Shou didn’t feel the need to dwell on it.

Charming Eyes didn’t pay much attention to the two Four-eyed Demons. She waved to the side and said, "Luanyan, we can depart now."

"Understood."

Luanyan’s Demon Eye emitted white rays, summoning a small disc-shaped spaceship that appeared beyond a barrier in the air.

"Miss Charming Eyes, please."

"Hmm."

...

Inside the spaceship, Qin Shou and Swordfish Eye stood guard at the control room entrance.

Qin Shou peeked inside, seeing Luanyan and Flower Eye operating the spaceship, while Charming Eyes looked somewhat excited. Qin Shou touched his chin thoughtfully.

The Six-eyed Demon mentioned by Galatron must be this Five-eyed white-haired girl.

As for why she would disguise herself as a Five-eyed Demon, Qin Shou suspected there must be some unspeakable secret involved.

Surely, it isn’t the cliché storyline of aristocratic young ladies yearning for the outside world, hiding their identities to escape their families, experiencing adventures, and ultimately finding friendship, love, and familial bonds...

Such nonsense!

Qin Shou cursed internally.

"Quick, Luanyan, change direction. Let’s head to that black forest over there. I haven’t seen black flowers and grass before!"

Suddenly, Charming Eyes clapped her hands excitedly while pointing at the virtual screen, her face full of curiosity.

Qin Shou: "..."

This... could it really be like that?
