chose to cooperate, cooperate fully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t stupid, she clearly recognized the gap between herself and the man in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ask, you answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any issues?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-no issue!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sakagawa Yu, you know him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much do you know about Qili City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin chose to start easy and press step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sakagawa Yu pursued me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li’s answer made everyone present fall deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naiya’s little face scrunched up even more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stick to the point, none of this random crap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naiya couldn’t help but remind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was starting to feel that Dongshan Li really wasn’t a good woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I just...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t want to hide anything...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li bowed her head, answering weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin frowned slightly, Eye of Insight activating again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evaluation info from the Eye of Insight updates in real time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Yu Jin was able to confirm: this really was Dongshan Li’s genuine thought, not some fake talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talk about the other Refuge Cities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, how much do you know about Celestial God City, tell everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin finished speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li nodded, but didn’t speak right away; she bit her lip, thinking hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quite a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She organized her words, then spoke softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On Z99 Planet, there are 9 Level 8 Shelter Cities, and 1 Level 9 Shelter City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of these, except for Phoenix Soaring City, I’ve had dealings with all the other 8 cities’ lords...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven of them... eh... expressed goodwill towards me, and one female city lord sees me as a deadly enemy—we even had a war a few years ago...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Watanabe Tai, who only got scraps from Sakagawa Yu, Dongshan Li clearly had way more info about all the Refuge Cities, especially the Tier Nine City Lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could even pinpoint specific attributes and ability traits of many Tier Nine City Lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was pretty much a result of her ’Natural Charm Lv9’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ability is passive; even if Dongshan Li doesn’t actively use it, the effect remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among Tier Nine Evolvers, most can’t resist it—they develop favorable feelings for Dongshan Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lord of Celestial God City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s really weird!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she’d finished listing all the Tier Nine City Lords and finally got to Celestial God City, Dongshan Li’s first comment was just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Details.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tied up like a rice dumpling, she shuffled to make her posture less embarrassing, at least so her legs weren’t spread so wide, and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems to be not just Tier Nine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Dongshan Li carefully studied Yu Jin’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He showed no reaction at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li was secretly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She muttered to herself: \"Definitely a boss,\" then went on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve met him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, more precisely, he came personally to Phoenix Soaring City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was about a year ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then, Celestial God City had just been promoted to Level 9 for a year, and was absolutely dominant on Z99 Planet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When he appeared, I was super nervous, thought he’d want to bring Phoenix Soaring City under his control, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He told me Phoenix Soaring City wasn’t important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He said—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’m willing, I could join his Celestial God City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He could give me a, a...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Consort status.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she got to the word ’consort,’ Dongshan Li’s silver teeth clenched hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d never forget—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone that Celestial God City Lord used when he said that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That tone, it was like...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A kind of gift, like he was bestowing some privilege on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming his ’consort’ should make her feel grateful and honored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His guess was right—Dongshan Li really had plenty of dealings with Celestial God City Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I refused.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li took a deep breath, then spoke softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought he’d blow up, or fly into a rage and use force...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My instinct told me—even as Tier Nine, I’m not his match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, he didn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instead, he gave me a year to think about it, deadline exactly at the one-year mark of his promotion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, there’s only one month left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Dongshan Li sighed long and hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing had been weighing on her all year, making her anxious every moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which is why—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When something happened in Qili City, she immediately noticed a change in the rankings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This past year, she’d basically been staring at the rankings all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because her gut told her—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Celestial God City Lord’s power, he wouldn’t settle for just what he’s got now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li didn’t know if a Level 9 Shelter City was the planet’s limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Celestial God City Lord’s arrogance and confidence, odds were he wouldn’t sit back and let Qili City and other Level 8 Shelter Cities promote alongside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they could promote smoothly, it’s likely he’ll make a move after promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin raised his chin, signaling Dongshan Li to keep talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that time a year ago, he hasn’t come to Phoenix Soaring City again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He left a communication mark on me, said I should contact him when I made up my mind for the right choice, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, Dongshan Li looked at Yu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame-red eyes were full of sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t lying, spilling everything she knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because she recognized Yu Jin and his crew were strong enough, so she chose to be honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want me to help you deal with Celestial God City Lord?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin saw through her thoughts, chuckling as he laid it bare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li stayed silent, head lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she said she didn’t have that thought, that would be a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Yu Jin actually nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, this was reasonable, the right move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because she needed help that Dongshan Li’s intel was actually credible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, for safety, Yu Jin constantly used Eye of Insight for a second check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celestial God City Lord, what’s his name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin thought for a moment, then asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li took a deep breath and softly spoke two words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Ling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, she thought for a bit and seriously added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He seems to be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Extremely proud of the name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In short.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He reports his name differently from ordinary people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially when he gets to ’Ling’, the tone is really heavy, really heavy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems like he’s also mocking me for not understanding its meaning...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li recalled the scene from a year ago, her tone melancholic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Han Ling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin heard the name, rubbing his chin, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All signs showed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Celestial God City Lord, Han Ling, was no ordinary figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin got a bit more serious inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like always—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lions go all out, even for rabbits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against any suspiciously \"cheaty\" opponent, Yu Jin wouldn’t slack off for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a veteran cheat user himself, he really understood how strong cheats could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything else you want to add?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin put his thoughts away and looked at Dongshan Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-no...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li lowered her voice, her gaze couldn’t help but drift to the fifty-meter-wide bed behind Yu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the serious questions were over, next up...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he going to start calling out numbers for the \"queue\"...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you’ve been so honest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here’s a little reward for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin chuckled, raised his hand and pointed at Dongshan Li from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milky white light burst forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the fifty-meter bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongshan Li’s shame-soaked moan echoed, lingering in the air, refusing to
