Chapter 687: The Bet

2015, October 2, Friday.

The underground ancient tomb of the old residence in the suburbs of the Six Dynasties ancient capital.

The spacious burial chamber had already been converted into a cage.

Lin Feng, via the surveillance, saw four beauties from ancient times.

The photo that Eunuch Shi had previously shown Lin Feng was nothing compared to their real-life beauty.

Each of the four women possessed her own skill.

Chen Yu knows ice-freezing technique.

Luoyan knows how to set fire.

Bi Yue possesses hypnosis.

Xiuhua excels at poison.

They look formidable, but in reality they are far inferior to Eunuch Shi.

At least Eunuch Shi has practiced ancient martial arts over these two thousand years.

Lin Feng kept wondering whether Eunuch Shi had ever met Old Master Jin,

and then Old Master Jin, based on Eunuch Shi, created the character Dong Fang Bubai.

Moreover, it's quite possible.

By then, if relations with Eunuch Shi become friendly, one could ask.

An old monster who has lived over two thousand years, though often in slumber, has left traces all over the world.

Some of those are quite interesting.

Chen Yu's ice-freezing technique actually uses a tool of the Witch Tribe.

It can only be used when the enemy is very close.

Moreover, its execution requires a certain amount of time.

Lin Feng held a blue bracelet taken from Chen Yu's wrist, examining it curiously.

It is rather a novel gadget.

Lin Feng believes that long ago, this bracelet was a daily-use item of the Witch Tribe people.

Just like a refrigerator.

After humans obtained it, it became a close-combat weapon.

As for the flames Luoyan unleashes, it's even simpler: a special firepowder mixed with phosphorus powder, concocted by ancient alchemists.

Bi Yue's hypnosis needs no explanation; many psychologists today use this technique.

It's just that Bi Yue is a bit more powerful.

Xiuhua's poison release is even simpler.

She beforehand places various deadly poisons on her person; when needed, a flick of the wrist can throw them out.

Of course, whether it's daily utensils, hypnosis, or poison release,

all require long-term training to reach the level of effortless execution.

Combined with their semi-enhanced bodies, surpassing ordinary human senses, they appear extremely mysterious.

After paying the price of some subordinates getting injured, Liu Huixi understood their abilities.

After confiscating their tools and welding thick rebar around their wrists in the burial chamber, they were locked up.

They were provided with good food and drink every day.

Furthermore, they were given offline tablet computers to watch movies and TV shows.

Beauties always receive preferential treatment.

Of course, what Lin Feng valued was the information they could provide.

Only by getting them to speak could Eunuch Shi's wealth and power be gradually exposed.

Lin Feng first saw Bi Yue.

The location was the living room of the old residence.

Today the weather was fine, with a gentle breeze.

The living room's decor had long been renewed, exuding an ancient charm.

Of course, this antique feel is mostly due to the many rare antiquities placed in the living room.

Most of the antiquities taken from the burial chamber were placed in the living room for decoration.

Bi Yue changed into modern attire.

Because her clothing is also valuable antiquities.

Of course, what is precious is the craftsmanship.

Now the clothing of all four of them has appeared with Chen Yingqiu.

Chen Yingqiu does not disdain them at all; the four outfits were stripped from the bodies of the 'ancient corpses'.

Before meeting Lin Feng, Bi Yue had taken a bath and was wearing a white short dress and high heels.

Such a style suits Bi Yue's temperament very well.

"What have you done to grandfather?"

Upon seeing Lin Feng, Bi Yue's stunning face bore an angry expression as she spoke coldly.

Seeing such an elaborate meeting ceremony, Bi Yue immediately guessed it was Eunuch Shi's enemy.

She had thought the person who could make Eunuch Shi stumble would be an old fox, but didn't expect him to be so young.

And yet he is so handsome!

Lin Feng gave a slight smile, "Grandfather, you all have it wrong! It should be Miss Shi."

"Huh?"

Bi Yue was taken aback.

Lin Feng explained, "Actually, Eunuch Shi is a woman; you didn't know that?"

Bi Yue dazedly shook her head.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's not your fault; Eunuch Shi has always gotten her own gender wrong..."

As Lin Feng spoke, Bi Yue kept looking at his eyes and facial expression.

She indeed, Lin Feng did not lie.

Miss Shi...

This made Bi Yue very surprised.

After a long while, she came to her senses, thinking that whether it was Eunuch Shi or Miss Shi, they were both her benefactors.

She must definitely think of a way to save Eunuch Shi... Miss Shi.

She stared at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes and slowly said, "Can you let me go?"

Lin Feng raised his right hand, wagging his index finger, and said, "Don't try to use hypnosis on me; in this area you might not be able to beat me."

"Oh?"

Bi Yue laughed and said, "We can have a match; if you lose, you let me go and tell me where my grandfather is."

"What if I win?"

Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Bi Yue said confidently, "You couldn't possibly beat me! If you win, I'll do whatever you want me to do!"

Saying that, she winked at Lin Feng.

"Anything goes?"

"Really?"

"Good!"

Lin Feng nodded and agreed.

Bi Yue said, "Do you want to know how long I've lived? Which dynasty I'm from? And what the situation was like back then? You must be curious."

"Huh!"

Lin Feng nodded.

As for these, he was indeed quite curious.

Ordinary hypnosis isn't actually that miraculous.

This requires understanding the subject's personality traits, strengths and weaknesses, etc.

And the simplest, most direct way to understand a person is through conversation.

Through language and facial microexpressions, we can understand the other person and discern their mental activity.

Of course, this is what only ordinary psychologists need to do.

The hypnosis process also requires the subject's cooperation.

If it's forced, then other skills must be used.

For example, physiognomy.

By observing a person's appearance, you can see their mental state.

Also, through physiognomy, you can discern much basic information about a person.

To Bi Yue, Lin Feng is undoubtedly a formidable opponent.

From his physiognomy, one can see that Lin Feng is extremely confident and has exceptionally strong mental fortitude.

He hardly has any weaknesses.

The only weakness is that he likes trash.

But this is normal, because what normal man doesn't like beautiful women?

So Bi Yue wants to gradually break through Lin Feng's mental defenses through conversation.

Bi Yue began to narrate.

It turns out she was born in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period after the Tang Dynasty.

That was an era of frequent warfare and moral decline...

And as a beautiful woman, Bi Yue's fate can be imagined.

If it weren't for Eunuch Shi's help, her fate would surely be the same as the sisters who were arrested together.

First she was... then she became a dish on some general's plate.
