Chapter 454 The Mysterious Fairy Qu Tong
I wanted to join in the fun, but now I've become a laughing stock. What should I do?
Li Muyang wanted to stop time and have his stand-in run away, but Qu Tong's unusual situation aroused his curiosity and competitive spirit. So should he show himself or not?
After Qu Tong used the gourd magic weapon in her hand to find Li Muyang, she just smiled meaningfully. After waiting for a while and seeing that Li Muyang still did not react, she put away the gourd and said leisurely, "Immortal Li? Why bother? I can't do anything to you. It's already difficult enough to find you! This magic weapon was given to me by a senior. I can only use it once a day."
“If you continue to play dead like this, I really can’t do anything about it. If I’m not mistaken, you can switch the objects and leave at any time, but that would strain our relationship and leave no room for trust. I really can’t do anything about you. But since you’re here, it means there must be something here that you’re curious about, right? In that case, we have a basis for talking, don’t we?”
"Please think about it. I have time. If you really don't want to talk to me, you can leave directly." After saying that, Qu Tong sat down cross-legged on the spot.
Li Muyang was momentarily at a loss, but then he realized that the demon was right. She was completely helpless against him. Qu Tong might have many strange aspects, but Old Li was certain that she couldn't beat him.
Even the destined Muir V was killed by me! No matter how bizarre Qu Tong is, she can't be more troublesome than Muir V. I can definitely kill her by using all my trump cards. So, since I've already been discovered, there's no harm in showing myself.
With a deep sigh, Li Muyang hadn't expected to suffer such a setback so soon after his breakthrough! He truly shouldn't underestimate anyone! This vixen had really given him a rude awakening! He'd been completely outmaneuvered!
"President Qu is really... quite unexpected." Li Muyang sighed as he reverted to his original form: "I thought my transformation technique was pretty good, at least it should be acceptable on Blue Star, but I didn't expect... I'd be proven wrong so quickly, and you've got me figured out."
When Qu Tong saw Li Muyang appear, she smiled politely and said, "You misunderstand. I really didn't find any trace of you. It's just that I have a treasure given to me by a senior, which can search the area around me."
"Originally intended to guard against Ninth Master, but unexpectedly... I stumbled upon Mr. Li's whereabouts today. However, your unannounced visit is indeed a bit of a surprise, since our affairs have nothing to do with you, and we never intended to trouble you. So, may I ask what brings you here? How can I help you?"
Li Muyang's lips twitched. Wait... just how many treasures did you receive from your senior? May I ask? Is the senior you're talking about the same one who gave you the gourd?
Qu Tong, observing Li Muyang's expression, understood what he meant and explained with a faint smile, "It wasn't just one person, but the two of them know each other and they came to see me off together."
Just then, Li Muyang had a sudden inspiration and blurted out, "Is it Master Hong and Grandma Lin?"
Qu Tong smiled without saying a word, or rather, her silence was an admission!
"Damn it!" Li Muyang cursed inwardly. No wonder she was able to discover him! He should have realized it! Something that could trick him must have come from an outsider. With his current strength, how could he possibly be tricked by Qu Tong?
The reason he thought of Hong Anguo and Brigitte Lin was simply because, apart from Zhang Xuanlin, the only outsiders he knew were the two of them!
It was just a random guess, but it actually came true!
"Alright, I won't beat around the bush with President Qu. I just want to know the purpose of Yaoxing Society and whether it will cause any conflict with me." Now that things have come to this, Li Muyang shrugged and explained indifferently, "Secondly, I'm curious about you, President Qu, and want to see what you're like."
"So, Immortal Master Li, are you satisfied?" Qu Tong asked nonchalantly, seemingly opening her arms wide and turning around in front of Li Muyang, as if to show herself off.
This action made Li Muyang feel strange and embarrassed! To be honest, Qu Tong is not ugly at all. It's not very obvious in the comics, but in reality, she is a very elegant and powerful woman with a kind of allure and approachability. In terms of looks alone, she is probably even better than Xia He.
Well, that doesn't count towards Xia He's abilities.
At least Zhou Sheng did lay a hand on Qu Tong, so her clothes look tattered and she's almost completely exposed.
But she's too perfect. Qu Tong seems like an artificial person, not a naturally formed one. Because truly natural people have a kind of beauty in their imperfections. These imperfections aren't necessarily a downside, but rather a plus. But Qu Tong doesn't have that! Her perfection gives people a sense of unreality, making Li Muyang feel a bit awkward! To put it simply, it's like she's had plastic surgery.
Li Muyang could even sense that her current appearance was deliberately altered by her! The purpose was to make her look ugly!
Old Li wasn't some naive novice who had never seen the world. His embarrassment wasn't because he was shy about the beautiful woman, but because Qu Tong's behavior made it seem as if he was being forced into it.
It's like he, Li Muyang, is some kind of... person who has ulterior motives towards Qu Tong! And Qu Tong is so cooperative! She doesn't seem unwilling at all! Old Li suspects that if he told her to strip naked right now, Qu Tong would probably comply without batting an eye! She wouldn't show any displeasure!
Shame and integrity... she probably doesn't care at all about them! Even her ego has been diluted! She's completely reduced to a servant, truly worthy of being called a master of both arts...
"Are you even human?" Li Muyang asked with narrowed eyes and a serious tone. This kind of method was something that Li Muyang considered unethical!
Even if there was something awkward about Qu Tong, it was only because she was too perfect, and her aura was definitely human. If Qu Tong had been modified into this form, then Li Muyang would really find it hard to accept.
At least I'm very unhappy with the person who did this.
Qu Tong maintained her calm smile: "I guess so? From a physiological perspective, my body is exactly the same as a human's, and my birth was also the same process as a human's. However, strictly speaking, I don't have a father."
"Were you created using the Double-Handed Technique?" Li Muyang understood Qu Tong's meaning. No wonder she seemed unreal and perfect. If she was created using the Double-Handed Technique, then it might also involve genetic regulation! That's why Qu Tong was so perfect that she seemed unreal.
But this excessive perfection is, in a sense, another kind of imperfection; too much of a good thing is bad! It has a bit of the meaning of "nine is the extreme, ten is the fullness".
Qu Tong was not surprised that Li Muyang knew about the Dual-Handed Technique, and calmly nodded: "Mr. Li is naturally one of the people who is qualified to know about our affairs."
"Then what is the purpose of your Yaoxing Society?" Li Muyang continued to press for an answer.
Qu Tong smiled faintly and shrugged: "Well... if you're asking about specific details, to be honest, I can't give you a precise answer right now. But if you're just asking for a general direction..."
"...Then I can tell you that our purpose is to finish what our predecessors did not complete."
Li Muyang glanced at Qu Tong, but unfortunately, this girl no longer had the emotional changes of a normal person. There was no flaw in her words, and she was completely without any loopholes. However, this also meant that every word she said was true, because Qu Tong simply did not have the ability to lie or deceive people.
Or rather, she lacks the ability to lie to herself when facing her own situation.
Li Muyang had already guessed most of the current developments.
"Let me see Ruan Feng's memories," Li Muyang said bluntly, no longer holding back, as if he were certain the other party wouldn't refuse him.
Qu Tong had no objections and didn't ask why. She simply took out the memory she had extracted from Ruan Feng's mind in front of Zhou Sheng and handed it to Li Muyang.
Li Muyang reached out and probed inside, closing his eyes to perceive its contents. After a long while, he opened his eyes, sighed softly, and looked at Qu Tong again with a hint of pity.
Just as he expected!
No wonder Hung An-kuo and Brigitte Lin would help her.
It can only be said that this is not Duanmu Ying's fault. Her original intention in creating Qu Tong was definitely good. It's just a pity that she used the wrong method. At that time, she didn't have much time left. No matter how magical and powerful the Eight Extraordinary Techniques are, they are ultimately techniques that bring chaos.
With the abilities of an ordinary person, Duanmu Ying did her best.
Moreover, judging from Qu Tong's current performance, she may have already exceeded Duanmu Ying's expectations! She can't be considered a failure; in fact, she can be considered a great success!
"I've already lifted the restrictions inside. You can handle it yourself." Li Muyang said leisurely, "I won't interfere in your affairs, so don't bother me unless it's necessary. If it involves me or my people, at least contact me before you take action. If it's too late, that's fine too. I just want to advise you to leave yourself an out."
Qu Tong maintained a calm smile and nodded: "Thank you, I will keep it in mind."
Warning? No, it's help.
Li Muyang saw Qu Tong off with a complicated expression, both marveling at the incredible fortune of the "thieves" back then and marveling at Qu Tong's extraordinary experience. He wondered if, in the end, it was all just a pipe dream.
From the very beginning, Qu Tong had only one purpose: to complete the "great achievements" that the remaining nine people had failed to accomplish! However, even Qu Tong herself did not know the specifics of this task, and she had to find the answer herself through years of preparation.
Even without Li Muyang's intervention, Qu Tong would still have found the answer in Ruan Feng's memories.
In fact, she probably already knew most of it; Ruan Feng's memories were just for her to confirm.
Over the years, everything she has done has been to find the purpose for which she was created and then to accomplish it! Even if she has committed many heinous acts in the process, Qu Tong doesn't care, because she is like a robot, and completing the final task is her ultimate code.
