Chapter 391: Qionglong Stone Shadow: The Secret of the Unhindered Advance

But I didn't immediately express my stance, meaning I didn't immediately believe, but I knew I had almost already believed.

"To be honest, what you just said really makes me want to come up and kiss you. You know, when you investigate and investigate, the more you dig, the more chaotic it gets. That feeling is maddening. Hearing what you said, I finally realize there are other fools like me. What a relief." The little girl put on an adult air. "What do you think, should we two have a drink?"

"Why are you interested in this?" Fatty was the clear-headed bystander, seeming not quite convinced yet. "Just to figure out that videotape?"

Huo Xiuxiu nodded: "For a girl in her prime, seeing a videotape like that, her whole worldview was overturned."

Fatty raised an eyebrow at me: "Right, I always say, adults can watch if they must, but those tapes must be put away properly, otherwise if kids see them, they'll corrupt the youth."

Huo Xiuxiu slapped him: "I knew it, fatty's all lecherous and think dirty thoughts. It's not as filthy as you imagine."

"If you say that, Maitreya Buddha would be very unhappy," said Fatty.

I interrupted their banter, already realizing, and said to her: "Seriously, did you really investigate their matters? Just for this one videotape?"

She nodded: "And I did gain something. Although what I found is much shallower than yours, and I haven't experienced as many life-and-death separations as you have, I have advantages that you don't. First, my grandmother is still alive; second, I can go in and out of many places ordinary people can't, and I know many people who can get old archives. So I dare not say I've found more than you, but there's definitely a large part that you don't know."

I became interested: "Oh, so you want to exchange information with me?"

"For me it doesn't matter, but for you, what I have to say is very important, so I think you have no reason to refuse." She smiled cunningly, revealing white teeth. "If the information you give me is crucial, I'll throw in a kiss as a bonus." As she spoke, she smiled at me, her eyes watery and seductive to a startling degree. I looked at her and felt that although this girl was crazy and seemed mischievous, her speech was impressively clear and logical. I sighed inwardly, thinking the young ladies of the Huo family were all formidable; men usually couldn't handle them. No wonder Grandpa ended up choosing Grandma. Such a young girl exuded the sexy charm of a mature woman, a very special aura that made me follow her train of thought. When she grew up, she'd be able to toy with men.

I took a sip of Erguotou to sober myself, thought I still needed to be careful, and didn't agree outright. Instead, I asked: "I'm still not fully convinced that the contents of the videotape would make a girl like you so interested. You have to tell me first what's on it." I wanted to test if her motivation was real.

She didn't mind at all and answered directly: "It's my aunt, the one you mentioned, Huo Ling."

"He investigates his uncle, you investigate your aunt? Why are you people of the Old Nine Gates all like this? No family privacy left?" Fatty said angrily.

My heart jolted. I waved for Fatty not to interrupt: "Was it your aunt combing her hair?"

She shook her head: "No, that videotape has been confiscated by my grandmother, but I'd never forget its contents even if beaten to death. And once I tell you, you'll immediately know it's true. So, the things I know are fewer than yours. I can't give too much for free. Brother Wu Xie, do you want to trade or not?"

I glanced at Fatty. Fatty nodded and said to the little girl: "Give another hint, girl. Hit the nail on the head and I, your Lord Fatty, will give you a kiss. What's in that videotape?"

Huo Xiuxiu blinked her seductive eyes: "My aunt, and several other people, they were crawling on the ground."
