Chapter 241: Seeking Revenge Sooner Rather Than Later

The inheritance of the Blood Saint had already been extracted, and to avoid any complications, Ye Bai decided to head to the Dark Auction House as soon as possible to have it auctioned off.

He mentioned this to the Paper Puppet.

The Paper Puppet, however, smiled and extended her slender hand.

"Ye Bai, if you trust me, I can help you dispose of the Blood Saint's inheritance."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be sold at the Dark Auction House."

"I have my own channels."

"And I guarantee you won't be at a disadvantage."

After hearing this, Ye Bai smiled.

It was a good thing that the Paper Puppet had channels, as it saved him from having to risk himself.

There shouldn't be any problems inside the Dark Auction House; it was said to have a massive backer.

But once outside the Dark Auction House, one was no longer protected.

The phenomenon of "black eating black" happened frequently.

Therefore, one had to try their best to hide their identity upon entering; once one's true identity was discovered, it was very likely they would be hunted down, and at that point, things would be hard to say.

Ye Bai threw the inheritance stone of the Blood Saint, along with the Divine Power Crystal, directly to the Paper Puppet.

"We are family, no need to speak of two families."

"With you here, I am very at ease."

"Just go ahead and handle it; consider the Divine Power Crystal your reward."

The Paper Puppet took the two crystals into her hands, and she felt them to be heavy.

She felt sincerity from Ye Bai, and a thick sense of trust welled up from within the Paper Puppet's heart.

She suddenly felt her heart begin to beat.

The paper person originally had no heart, but now that it was beating, it proved she had recovered her true self, and she was only one step away from ascending to an Incense God.

"Thank you for your trust; I will not let you down."

The Paper Puppet said this with incomparable elegance.

"Paper Puppet, let's hurry and leave this place."

"I always feel a faint sense of unease, a feeling of being watched by fate."

The Paper Puppet nodded.

She put the items away, transformed into a paper doll, and drifted onto Ye Bai.

Ye Bai then summoned the Space Pelican.

One person and one pet directly utilized the Space Transfer function.

They instantly tore through space and appeared in a location on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.

To be safe, the Space Pelican and Ye Bai performed consecutive space jumps.

At the same time, every time they arrived at a location, they cleared the spatial coordinates to prevent others from catching up.

Not long after Ye Bai left, a mass of shadows was writhing in a dim corner of the room.

The shadow transformed directly into countless threads, forming a man wearing a black hood.

A golden pointer floated around him.

"Ran away?"

A hoarse voice emerged from under the hood.

"It doesn't matter; the pointer will indicate the direction."

The man transformed back into countless threads and sank into the ground.

"The Eternal Pointer will guide me to find your trail."

Countless black air currents sank into the shadows, and the room suddenly became a mess.

At this moment, a paper person walked over from the doorway and gently knocked on the room door.

"Guest, please keep the noise down to avoid being complained about."

However, the paper person suddenly sensed that there was no aura of life in the room.

So it pushed the door open and entered; this paper person saw a scene that made it collapse.

The room looked as if it had been robbed; all the tables and chairs were scattered messily on the floor.

A pungent smell appeared in the air.

Damn it! The paper person's face was about to twist.

Fuck! I was almost off work, and you pull this on me, making me work overtime.

The paper person, reeking of the "workplace vibe," had resentment soaring to the heavens.

"I am going to put you on the blacklist of the Laifu Inn!!!!"

The paper person clenched its hands tightly together.

At this moment, it was extremely angry, and wisps of green smoke rose from the top of its head.

It almost set itself on fire.

Ye Bai returned to the villa; it was almost dawn.

He slept soundly and didn't wake up until nearly twelve o'clock.

There were over a dozen missed calls on Ye Bai's phone, all from Zhang Lingxue.

He got up unhurriedly, had a good breakfast, and then arrived at the Laboratory where Zhang Lingxue was.

This Laboratory, come to think of it, was not even as big as the laboratory at Shenshan Middle School.

Today, the look of worry that had been on Zhang Lingxue's face in the past was swept away.

This was the Zhang Lingxue in Ye Bai's heart, a spirited and vigorous woman.

"Ye Bai, guess what I discovered."

"Inside the bodies of these Sword Spirit Insects, there are indeed three more sets of genes than in ordinary Sword Spirit Insects."

"I suspect the key to the reproduction of Sword Spirit Insects lies in these three sets of genes."

Zhang Lingxue had a newly hatched Sword Spirit Insect in her hand; once she performed a genetic screening against the Sword Spirit Insect provided by Ye Bai, she discovered those three special sets of genes.

"This counts as a major discovery, and the data for these three sets of genes has also been uploaded by me to the computer."

"Next, I will continue to conduct genetic comparisons,"

"to screen which set of genes controls the reproduction of the Sword Spirit Insects."

The computers in the Laboratory are not connected to the internet to prevent the data within them from leaking.

"It's good that there are results."

"Once this kind of Sword Spirit Insect evolves into a Sword Butterfly and then lays eggs, we will be able to achieve freedom in Awakening Spirit." "This is a major discovery in history, and also a major discovery capable of changing the current landscape."

"Before the research is completed, do not let the news leak out."

"Teacher, is it safe here?"

Ye Bai suddenly asked Zhang Lingxue.

"You can rest assured about this."

"This is one of the laboratories exclusive to your grand-teacher."

"The security performance is very high, and starting from last night, I have also dispatched my Pet Beast to release a Barrier twenty-four hours a day without interruption."

"On the surface, this Laboratory looks ordinary, but in reality, it hides mysteries."

"You must know that after my Poison Dragon Butterfly advanced, I am a sixth-rank powerhouse; anyone who sneaks in will be quickly discovered by my Pet Beast."

Zhang Lingxue was quite proud of the Laboratory's security.

"By the way, I discovered the Sword Spirit Insects in the Tieshu forest."

"These Tieshu must be the key to cultivating the Sword Spirit Insects."

Ye Bai summoned the Space Pelican.

In the Secret Realm, the Emperor Sunflower had swept through like a plague of locusts; after Ye Bai contracted the Space Pelican, he had placed the things collected into the Space Pelican's space pouch.

He knew that the growth of the Sword Spirit Insects was extremely dependent on the environment.

Thus, the Emperor Sunflower had uprooted the entire Tieshu forest.

"These Tieshu are very well preserved."

"I will replant them."

Zhang Lingxue waved her hand, and the Tieshu vanished one after another.

Only then did Ye Bai remember that Zhang Lingxue possessed a Personal Secret Realm.

The Sword Spirit Insects were being kept by Zhang Lingxue there.

"The growth cycle of the Sword Spirit Insect is not slow, and if there were more resources, its growth cycle could be shortened."

"What we lack most right now is time."

Ye Bai raised his eyebrows.

"The resources are for me to pick and choose at will."

"In order to build me up only to destroy me, they haven't restricted me at all in this area."

"The more resources I spend, if I can't research anything, I will naturally be used by them as leverage."

"Now that I already have the answer you gave me, I won't accommodate them anymore."

A cunning look appeared in Zhang Lingxue's eyes.

Now that she had escaped the trap, she, being shrewd, planned to use this opportunity to set a trap for those people.

As long as the Sword Butterfly reproduction experiment succeeded, she would have fought a beautiful counterattack.

"Ye Bai, then I'll go do the research first."

"The sooner we research it, the sooner we can take our revenge."

"Use the resources of the Imperial Capital Research Institute as you please."

"If you lack anything, just place an order on the computer."

"Someone will be specially assigned to deliver it."

Zhang Lingxue said to Ye Bai with extreme ease, then ducked into the Secret Realm to go into seclusion.

As for the research on the new type of Spirit Awakening Potion, Ye Bai felt he first needed to master the formula for the original Spirit Awakening Potion.

At the same time, Ye Bai also summoned the True Dragon Sword and the Emperor Sunflower.

The True Dragon Sword was an equipment-type Exotic Beast, and the Spirit Awakening Potion could enhance its spirituality.

As for the two sharp blades of the Emperor Sunflower, they had initially condensed spiritual consciousness; Ye Bai could also take this opportunity to let them transform into a true equipment-type Exotic Beast.

However, this would require the ability of a Pet Beast, namely the ability of the Mandrake Emperor, also known as Bailuo, after being enslaved by the Emperor Sunflower.

Bailuo had a very special ability, which was to simulate the medicinal properties of herbs of the same rank.

In other words, whatever herb was missing, one could just tell Bailuo, and Bailuo could naturally simulate it.

Of course, Bailuo needed to consume the herbs to truly be able to simulate their medicinal properties.

Imperial Capital Research Institute.

Logistics Department Director's office.

The place was decorated in a resplendent and magnificent style.

An old man with a square face was reading a newspaper there.

Beside him, a gorgeous-looking secretary was brewing tea.

Suddenly, he put down the newspaper and looked up at He Mishu, who was to the side.

"Zhang Lingxue has been researching for over a month now; how is the progress?"

He Mishu smiled and pushed up her glasses.

"Currently, she has not made any progress, but she has already taken all the Sword Butterfly Eggs from the Imperial Capital Research Institute."

"As expected of Liang Zhuren, this move is truly high-level; how could Su Qingxian possibly compete with you for the position of Deputy Director?"

"Once Zhang Lingxue fails to research anything, this genius girl will fall from her pedestal."

"The higher we lift Zhang Lingxue up, the greater her backlash will be, and this involves a competition between nations."

"Besides, it wasn't us who forced her; she volunteered for it herself."

"Director, this move of yours is high, truly high!"

The secretary gave a thumbs up!

Liang Zhuren let out a cold snort, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly: "You must still keep a constant watch on the progress at the Laboratory."

"In any case, whatever she wants, we will give it to her, and we will give her the best."

"When the time comes that she fails to research anything, that will be the moment we settle the score."

"Su Qingxian will inevitably be dragged down from her pedestal."

"Hmph, wanting to compete with me for the position of Deputy Director!"

"To be a person, one must pay attention to connections and relationships."

"Just burying one's head in books and acting aloof is not worth it."

"When Zhang Lingxue's reputation is ruined, that will be the time I ascend to become the Deputy Director of the Imperial Capital Research Institute."

"Xiao He, when that time comes, I will not treat you poorly."
