Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 348: Chapter 165 Feeding_2

”Right? What’s wrong with that?” Li Yelai nodded.

Generally, after a battle, especially after facing formidable foes, Processors are required to write a report and submit it to the branch. This improves the branch’s database and supports future colleagues who may encounter similar enemies.

Before Li Yelai killed the Ghost Soldier Commander, he had written a report documenting the incident, hoping it could assist his colleagues in the future.

”So in your future report, are you not going to write, ’The Night General used seduction tactics to defeat someone...’?” Doll muttered discontentedly, clearly disliking the title of the tactic.

Seduction...

Doll’s lips turned downwards in displeasure. She didn’t like the idea of Li Yelai ’seducing’ anyone. Of course, if it were her, then well....

And Li Yelai finally realized that the Hu Ben team had really dug a big pit for him.

Even if the enemy was a high-profile entity like a Divine Chosen, an upper echelon of some organization, or even an Overlord of some Forbidden Zone.

Once prefixed with ”seduction tactics,” it completely changed the tone.

Night General seduces Divine Chosen? Dammit! People might think he was trading favors for victory!

Damn, he was trapped!

”I wondered why they all had strange expressions. They were waiting for me here. Damn...” Li Yelai complained, then lifted his numb arm, preparing to pick up his chopsticks. But his sore hand seemed uncooperative.

The Hu Ben Team had calculated Li Yelai’s physical strength and exhausted him with daily saturated training. Even with his high endurance, he needed a night to recover, which made even eating difficult...

’At least leave me some energy to eat and pick up chopsticks, right?’ Li Yelai thought to himself. Suddenly, he saw a pair of chopsticks holding a fatty piece of meat appearing around his lips.

”Ahh~~” A soft call, like a breeze over the lake, gently touched his heartstrings.

He looked up to see the girl leaning toward him, her bright eyes shimmering with anticipation. Her lips were slightly parted, showing pearly white teeth and her delicate pink tongue, as if inviting him to taste the savory piece of meat together.

As the girl leaned forward, the collar of her beige trench coat slightly opened, revealing her slender neck. It was like a finely crafted artwork, her skin smooth and glowing with a light blush. Under the trench coat, her delicate clavicle was noticeable, forming two elegant curves outlining her unique charm, and below that was a glimpse of her profound snow-white...

Li Yelai felt his heart racing but averted his eyes and opened his mouth to accept the piece of meat from the girl.

”Thank you,” Li Yelai mumbled, chewing on the meat with indistinct gratitude. He then picked up a spoon to eat his rice, reminding her, ”When wearing these clothes, don’t bend over or lean forward; someone might take advantage.”

Seeing Li Yelai eat the meat and even blush a bit, Doll’s eyes curved with joy.

She swept her gaze over the chopsticks, thinking this was finally her chance. Hehe.

She quite enjoyed the feeling of being fed... she would have to find a chance to have Xiao Ye feed her too.

And upon hearing the latter half of Li Yelai’s sentence, Doll paused, looking down at her neckline and feeling her cheeks heat up.

She whispered softly, ”Okay, I know.”

She could only take off her doll outfit and eat with him, but if anyone except the nun saw her, they would witness something indescribably horrifying...

After dinner, Li Yelai went back home.

He took deep breaths to stabilize his heartbeat, only to see Li Yunyan staring at him in shock in the living room.

”Why are you back?” Li Yunyan put down the Communicator.

”I finished eating and came back. Also, I brought you food. Doll knows you love meat; she cooked it especially today, it’s delicious!” Li Yelai said, holding up a bag which contained a thermal box.

”I thought you might stay out longer? You and Doll Sister have been so busy lately... It’s rare for you to get together,” Li Yunyan said.

”No, I have a mission tomorrow,” Li Yelai responded, handing the food to Li Yunyan before heading back to the bedroom to wash up.

Li Yunyan watched his retreating figure, glanced at the food in her hands, and her lips twitched involuntarily, mentally ranting: ’God damn, bringing food back! You and Doll Sister too. It’s so late already, and you guys haven’t gotten into anything? Damn! Such a waste of a handsome scumbag face!’

’Truly, moving here was a wrong decision! If it were farther away and perhaps raining, he wouldn’t have been able to come back.’

Li Yunyan was visibly frustrated. From a certain point of view, she and Jing Lin were similar—they both liked to see some action.

She picked up the insulated box and flashed a smile. ”Hmm, smells delicious!”

And Li Yelai wasn’t lying; he had left the dollhouse.

First, he felt his willpower was weakened, afraid that he might do something regrettable. Second, he indeed had a mission the next day; the Hu Ben Team’s special training had been six days, and tomorrow was his trading time with Black Umbrella.

Lying in bed, Li Yelai let out a sigh of turbid air, the tiredness should have sent him to sleep immediately.

But every time he closed his eyes, he would see Doll’s exquisite face or recall Cheese’s farewell hug.

This left him somewhat confused. He took a deep breath, ”I might be getting twisted...”

...

The next day, Li Yelai got into the Light Cruiser’s off-road vehicle early in the morning and rushed to the safehouse.

Inside the safehouse, Yin Fire had been waiting to brief Li Yelai on the key points of this transaction!

The government had targeted Black Umbrella,

The trading materials between Li Yelai and Black Umbrella included War Worm Material, into which the government had mixed some imperceptible impurities.

This was intentional, after all, ordinary organizations find it hard to completely purify materials, especially the War Worm that had been through battles; having some impurities was too common.

Among those, one of the government’s tracking methods was hidden. Days after these materials were refined and impurities removed, they would faintly emit a whiff of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation. It would point out directions for the government within a certain range.

”So, as long as we trade with him, we can know his location?” Li Yelai asked.

”No, to avoid detection, the residual Spiritual Energy is very minor; it must be within five kilometers to be triggered. Our Ye Boshou teams or official merchants in the wilderness will carry the corresponding devices. Once close, they will detect it, thereby pinpointing their approximate location,” Yin Fire responded. ”This is safer, to prevent you from being discovered.”

Li Yelai nodded, and Yin Fire, curious, noticed some dark circles under Li Yelai’s eyes and couldn’t help asking, ”Didn’t sleep well last night?”

Li Yelai shook his head and did not elaborate further.

Instead, he put on a suit and wore the Copper Face.

Once everything was prepared, he took the War Worm Material and entered the ark.

Seeing Black Umbrella hadn’t yet entered the ark, Li Yelai examined the fourth scroll on the wall first.

Compared to seven days ago, this scroll was more detailed. Li Yelai could see a more refined look of Night Ye.

And in one of the battlefields, Li Yelai saw a figure wearing Ming Guang Armor and holding a long spear. That blood-red cape, like a flag in a despairing scene, led humans against all terrifying incarnations!

Li Yelai’s heart skipped a beat, in his knowledge, the government had only one such equipped powerhouse.

That was his captain, the Eighth Generation Champion, Yang Chen!

Could it be... in the painted prediction, would Yang Chen also enter Disaster Fog No. 49?

Was Disaster Fog No. 49 not far from Border City?

Li Yelai’s thoughts raced, but he suddenly felt a spatial fluctuation. He immediately turned around.

And Black Umbrella emerged from a white glow, seeing Li Yelai he smiled: ”Have you waited long, Copper Face? I’m here.”

”It’s been a while, Lord Black Umbrella,” Li Yelai replied. ”Have you finished processing it?”

”Of course, it’s really nice material. Heavenly Meteor Qilin, I want to get one too,” Black Umbrella laughed, and then completed the trade with Li Yelai.

Afterwards, Black Umbrella also walked to the wall, noticing the change in the painting.

Looking at the figure in the painting, Black Umbrella chuckled, ”It’s the Eighth Generation Champion... this is indeed interesting... It looks like Disaster Fog No. 49 will once again be where the champion falls! I’m really happy about that, getting the champion’s corpse would be too good...”

And Li Yelai suppressed the hatred in his heart, scoffing inwardly.

’You’re celebrating too damn early!’
