Chen Yue’s words completely ignited Devon’s anger. He relied on his resentment to recover his cultivation, so he did not have his previous calmness at all. On impulse, he wanted to strangle Chen Yue.
Chen Yue did not move. She just stood where she was because she knew that Mao Feng would protect her. As expected, Mao Feng stood in front of her and stopped Devon. “Bear with it for a while. If not for her, I wouldn’t have the money to help you smuggle. Isn’t your money overseas?
This hit Devon’s sore spot. All his assets had been frozen by the government of Country Y, and the other hidden money was also in Country Y. He did not have much money on him, so it was not enough.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Chen Yue smiled sarcastically. It seemed that these poor people still had to rely on her. She sat on the bed and said, “If the two of you want money, you have to give me Xiao Jing. Tell me what you can do.”
Mao Feng naturally couldn’t do anything about it. The traditional spells in China didn’t involve human feelings. Some of them were just crooked evil spells that could bewitch people. Moreover, even if they could bewitch people, it wouldn’t last long.
He could only look at Devon for help. Devon, who had received the signal, said, “I have a potion that can make people have strong love as long as they drink it.
The person who drinks the potion will love whoever put their blood in it.” However, Devon did not mention the price of this potion. Not only did they have to exchange their lifespan for energy, but they also had to keep drinking the potion. Otherwise, they would wake up from their fake love.
This required endless lifespan to be converted into energy. A person’s lifespan was limited and could not support the usage of the potion at all. At most, people who used the potion for two to three years would exhaust their lifespan and die.
Devon only wanted Chen Yue’s money to smuggle him out. He didn’t care what would happen next.
Mao Feng had also heard of this potion and knew the price to pay after using it. However, he did not want to continue feigning civility with Chen Yue. He wished she would take out the money now and die.
Chen Yue was not easy to fool. She asked Devon, “Then why didn’t you give it to your wife? If she loved you, she wouldn’t have run away.”
Devon forced a smile. “My wife truly loves me, but she was seduced without my knowledge. She’ll fall in love with me all over again when she returns to me?’
Chen Yue looked at Devon as if he was crazy. In her opinion, Devon was really sick. She loved Xiao Jing so much, but she knew that she had to use methods to get him. Devon was still lying to himself that his wife loved him.
“Then make this potion. As long as Xiao Jing falls in love with me, I’ll give you the money. At that time, with the power of the Xiao family and the Chen family, you can go to any country you want,” Chen Yue said in a high and mighty tone.
Devon could only agree aggrievedly and go out to buy the medicinal herbs needed for the potion.
From the beginning to the end, they did not look at Lily in the corner. She had been listening to what they were saying. After Devon went out, she looked at Yunbao on the bed. As long as she could wake up, they would have a chance to escape.
The investigation in the capital had been carried out as quickly as possible, but it would take time to investigate all the areas in the capital. The Gu family’s mansion had almost become a small command center. The few of them and the army were here to receive news.
Although the Gu family could also make connections with the army, the Rong family was a family with military background. These people were called over by Rong Xuan. Old Master Rong trusted Rong Xuan very much and had long given him the right to mobilize these people.
The house was filled with people. Not only were there people from the army, but there were also wizards. These two groups of people did not expect to stand in one place in their lives. After all, they were in charge of different directions.
Song Yun gathered these wizards together and analyzed whether they could track the same energy fluctuation. This was the only thing they could do at the moment. She tried to sense the energy of Yunbao, but there was no reaction at all. Someone must have cut off the connection between the energy of the Yunbao and the outside world.
After the wizards tried, they shook their heads and said, “The capital is so big that it’s impossible to sense it directly. With so many of us, we can’t cover the entire capital. Moreover, these two are wizards who have cultivated for a long time. They can sense the energy cover of the capital. If they hide their energy, we really won’t be able to find them.”
“The two of them won’t hide their energy.” Rong Xuan walked over and said firmly, “The prerequisite for hiding their energy is that they can’t use spells. The two of them have to do something, so they won’t give up on spells..”
