Chapter 971: Chapter 0971: He Can Silence a Beauty with His Mouth

Luo Yang didn’t believe Gu Xue when she said she couldn’t get in touch with the people from Skull Fortress, and he had his reasons for it.

Gu Xue must have made a deal with Skull Fortress before.

If Skull Fortress sent just an ordinary member, Gu Xue would likely think they weren’t sincere, and the deal would fall through.

Thus, Gu Xue must have at least met someone important from Skull Fortress.

Luo Yang asked, "Sister Xue, what mutual interests do you share with Skull Fortress?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Xue responded straightforwardly, "They’re helping me get revenge, and I’m helping them find the Blood Devil. Hey, every word I said is true."

At the moment, she seemed afraid of Luo Yang doubting her, especially since she had embarrassed herself in front of him earlier.

With a chuckle, Luo Yang pecked at Gu Xue’s red lips and said, "Sister Xue, let the past be the past. I’ve already told you, whatever you say, I’ll believe you."

Gu Xue clung tightly to Luo Yang’s panther-like waist and said, "Hey, then hurry and think of a way to save my sisters!"

If the three Gu sisters weren’t the daughters of the Sect Master of Ten Thousand Souls Sect, this would be much easier.

They couldn’t let Hua XiYi and the others know about this; otherwise, the three Gu sisters wouldn’t just die at the hands of Skull Fortress—they’d meet their end under the knives of Eight Immortals Hall and Jiuyang Hall.

This was where the trouble lay: they needed to rescue Gu Xiang and Gu Yun discreetly.

To put it simply, this was a mission that Luo Yang had to accomplish alone!

If they were dealing with ordinary thugs, Luo Yang could easily achieve his goal.

But now he had to face the people of Skull Fortress, and since they hadn’t clashed with them directly before, there was no way of knowing what Skull Fortress specialized in.

As the saying goes: "Know your enemy and yourself, and you can win a hundred battles."

However, they knew nothing about Skull Fortress, and it wouldn’t be surprising if bold heroism led to early demise.

Yet the three Gu sisters were Luo Yang’s wives, and he couldn’t stand idly by while his wife came to harm.

How to successfully rescue Gu Xiang and Gu Yun was a thorny problem.

Luo Yang racked his brain, searching for inspiration.

Gu Xue was anxious, which was understandable.

To calm her down, Luo Yang had no choice but to block her lips with his own. Feeling the smooth warmth of her red lips, his mind focused on planning how to rescue Gu Xiang and Gu Yun.

Taking Hong Jiaxin to the Willow Forest by the shore of the Frozen Lake—that, he couldn’t do.

Better safe than sorry.

If he failed to rescue Gu Xiang and Gu Yun and ended up losing Hong Jiaxin as well, wouldn’t that be losing both peaches and watermelons?

Gu Xue wanted to keep urging Luo Yang to act, but she was blocked by his lips. She hummed a few times and could only reach out to touch Luo Yang’s back, signaling him to act quickly.

Actually, there was still some time left. The people of Skull Fortress had demanded Gu Xue to bring Hong Jiaxin to the Willow Forest by dawn, or they’d deliver her two corpses.

While Luo Yang continued thinking, he lightly patted Gu Xue’s rounded hips to indicate he was close to finding a solution.

No matter how much he thought, it was hard to find a perfect solution.

The biggest problem was that Luo Yang couldn’t ask Hua XiYi for help; otherwise, she might easily pick up on clues to the truth.

If Hua XiYi discovered the three Gu sisters were part of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, even Luo Yang wouldn’t be safe from repercussions.

If they’d already obtained the Blood Devil, then whatever Hua XiYi thought wouldn’t matter.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t found the Blood Devil yet, and to win the fight for it, Luo Yang still needed to team up with Hua XiYi to have a shot at beating Master Hua.

The sea breeze blew, but Luo Yang’s mind couldn’t cool down.

Quick thinking was mentally exhausting.

Luckily, he could still feel the warmth of Gu Xue’s lips, a small reprieve that allowed him to temporarily avoid extreme fatigue.

After thinking for a while, Luo Yang licked his lips and said, "Sister Xue, try dialing back the number. See if you can still get through to that person. Is it a man or a woman?"

Gu Xue recalled, "A woman. Hey, in the past, it was always men calling me."

As the husband of the three Gu sisters, a strange thought suddenly emerged in Luo Yang’s mind.

Unable to resist, he asked directly.

"Sister Xue, have they ever asked about you guys... heh heh, you know, about your..."

With an awkward laugh, he lightly patted Gu Xue’s rounded hips.

Being as perceptive as Gu Xue was, she immediately understood.

"Hey! My transaction with them is simply to fetch the Blood Devil. I’m not selling myself! If you don’t believe me, you can test me now!"

Judging by Gu Xue’s annoyed tone, it seemed she was ready to pull down her pants on the spot.

Though curiosity played a big part, it couldn’t be denied there was a tinge of jealousy mixed in.

With a chuckle, Luo Yang said, "Sister Xue, I’m just kidding. Don’t be mad."

He quickly shifted the conversation back to serious matters.

The situation had escalated so suddenly that Luo Yang needed time to plan a response.

Not to mention Skull Fortress was no small threat, and asking Hua XiYi for help wasn’t an option.

So Luo Yang needed more time to craft a strategy.

"Sister Xue, see if you can make the call. If it goes through, just tell them you’ll complete the mission by tomorrow night." Luo Yang said softly.

Gu Xue then dialed back the number.

It connected!

Just before it connected, Gu Xue was visibly surprised.

"This number never worked before. Hey, what’s going on?" Gu Xue muttered to herself.

This was a question Luo Yang naturally couldn’t answer.

On the other end of the line, nobody spoke, evidently waiting for Gu Xue to talk first.

"Hey, I’ll do my best to help you with what you want, but you absolutely can’t hurt my two close friends!" Gu Xue said.

"Follow our instructions, and they’ll be perfectly safe."

As expected, it was a woman’s voice, though he couldn’t tell who it was.

"Hey, I may not be able to finish it by dawn. How about by tomorrow night?" Gu Xue proposed.

"No way!" the woman rejected her outright.

Gu Xue shot Luo Yang an inquiring look, waiting for his direction.

It seemed Skull Fortress wanted Hong Jiaxin, and delaying the time slightly was something they might accept.

Luo Yang shook his head, signaling Gu Xue not to compromise.

Following his cue, Gu Xue said, "Okay, then fine! I can’t help you! I’ll call the police!"

The other end of the line went quiet for a moment.

Presumably, they were discussing, and after a while, that same woman spoke again, "Fine, by tomorrow night. But if you don’t deliver by then, your two friends will definitely die!"

After ending the call, Luo Yang felt conflicted.

Did the people of Skull Fortress not know about the three Gu sisters?

Gu Xue claimed they were just her friends, and the people of Skull Fortress seemingly believed it?

This was a huge question mark, and Luo Yang suspected whether Gu Xue might be using some sort of self-sacrifice tactic to deceive him.

Gu Xue lying wasn’t a first. Even if it was a lie this time, it wouldn’t be the last.

Seeing Luo Yang thinking silently, Gu Xue said urgently, "Hey! Think of something quickly!"

She had no one else to rely on but Luo Yang now.

Luo Yang was completely in the dark about how many Skull Fortress operatives were lying in wait at the resort.

Charging in recklessly wouldn’t guarantee success.

But he couldn’t ask Hua XiYi for assistance either—if Skull Fortress decided to go for broke, the three Gu sisters’ identities would be exposed.

The outcome was predictable: Master Hua and Hua XiYi would join forces to eliminate the three Gu sisters.

Such a terrifying scene was something Luo Yang wanted to avoid at all costs.

With a cold laugh, Luo Yang asked, "Sister Xue, the people of Skull Fortress don’t really know about you?"

His mocking tone was unmistakable.

Gu Xue caught on to the subtext and pouted, "Hey! They only know what we are, but they don’t know that they’re my blood sisters!"

That scenario seemed plausible enough.

To successfully rescue Gu Xiang and Gu Yun, they needed to figure out how many operatives Skull Fortress had stationed at the resort.

Otherwise, any rash actions could cost Gu Xiang and Gu Yun their lives.
