She never doubted Huo Yanran’s capabilities, and judging from the state of the red garments on both the body and in the tomb chamber, it seemed she had not been buried for too long.
After squinting her eyes, Qianxun said, "Yanzhi, let’s take this body back first."
"Okay!" Huo Tianzun agreed without hesitation.
He then called in a helicopter to hoist the coffin away directly.
Since the department Huo Tianzun was in charge of was a national secret, any secrets he did not wish to disclose naturally remained unknown to others. Thus, by the time Xia Yanran herself arrived at the scene, she found that her body had already been taken away, and she had no way to trace it.
Although the Xia Family held a quite high status within the Mystical Sect and could get in touch with the nation’s high-level officials, they were still far behind the Huo Family.
Otherwise, Xia Yanran wouldn’t have been unable to find the person she was looking for all this time.
Staring at the empty tomb, Xia Yanran stomped her feet in anger, then formed one hand gesture after another to summon the demon she had left behind to guard the gravesite.
But what chilled her heart was that, despite her summons, the demon did not appear.
The demon would never dare to not show up intentionally, which left only one possibility: it had been killed by someone!
Who else could easily kill a demon if not someone from the Mystical Sect?
For a moment, Xia Yanran’s face turned ashen.
Questioning in her mind: Could it be that someone discovered her body and deliberately stole it? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel fire.net
After all, concealed within her corpse was a Merfolk Pearl. With that pearl, once her current body had grown to its best state, she could take the Merfolk Pearl and live for another thousand years!
But who could have taken her body?
The secret of her previous life’s memories should have remained unknown to anyone! As for the secret of the Merfolk Pearl, aside from her, no one else knew.
However much Xia Yanran thought about it, she couldn’t figure out who would intentionally steal her body.
The plane landed in the hills behind a somewhat desolate village.
After disembarking, Huo Tianzun arranged for people to bring the coffin inside while saying, "Baby, this is another base of the Demon Management Bureau."
Hearing this, Qianxun nodded, "Let’s go, scan Huo Yanran’s body first."
"Okay, I’ll have someone do it right away!" Huo Tianzun nodded, then tightly grasped Qianxun’s somewhat icy hand, gently rubbing it to warm her up, before pulling her into the house.
Once inside the air-conditioned room, Qianxun finally felt much more comfortable.
About half an hour later, a woman dressed in a white coat, wearing high heels and looking very glamorous, walked over.
"Boss, sister-in-law, the examination results are out, and they’re a bit strange," the woman handed Huo Tianzun a report.
Qianxun glanced at her.
Seeing this, the glamorous woman immediately smiled at Qianxun, "Sister-in-law may not have met me before, right? Hello, I’m Huang Feng, responsible for the medicinal scientific research at the Demon Management Bureau."
"So it’s you, I’ve heard about you," Qianxun quickly responded.
Isn’t this the female doctor that Yanzhi sent to deal with Wu Zheng that time?
Afterwards, she even heard the demons at the Demon Management Bureau sympathizing with Wu Zheng for being dealt with by Huang Feng behind his back!
Later she found out with a little inquiry that Huang Feng, because she was beautiful and charming, had been harassed by sleazy men often, and over time, she developed the habit of liking to put tail needles in men’s pants.
Ordinary people swell up in one big lump if stung by a regular hornet, let alone someone specially attended by Huang Feng’s tail needle.
