Chapter 148: The Goddess's Change of Heart

  Xia Lin's injury was treated by Li Yingying, and it seems that nothing serious happened. However, this means that her recovery time will have to be extended, and there is also a possibility of infection, so now we urgently need to find a safe place to treat Xia Lin.

  "Our base has been breached, it seems we have a situation on our hands. In my opinion, we must leave immediately to avoid another attack from the enemy."

  I thought for a moment and then said: "We don't have to leave, we can go find the Queen Mother now, I'm sure it's safe there."

  Dongfang Yonghao said strangely: "You go see Wangmu, it's possible that you will be killed, aren't you worried about your own safety?"

  I smiled: "Anyway, now that there's a change in the Goddess Organization, I think Queen Mother doesn't have time and energy to deal with me, a small fry. Let's do it my way, we'll save Xia Lin first."

  Dongfang Yonghao's eyes showed a hint of emotion as he looked at me. He suddenly changed direction and rushed out like flying.

  Before long, we arrived at the place where Captain Zhong was. At this time, Captain Zhong was still there, as if he had been waiting for us specially.

  I got off the car and said to Captain Zhong, "Unexpectedly, there are enemies infiltrating within your Goddess organization. Just now, we encountered an ambush in a small valley over there. The shooter was a sniper. If we hadn't discovered him ahead of time, it's possible that by this time, we would have been killed by him."

  Captain Zhong's face was filled with surprise and confusion, then he suddenly roared: "Everyone in the first team follow me, let's see who dares to intrude into our internal affairs."

  Xia Lin gritted her teeth and said: "Tell Captain Zhong that the enemy may be a master, let them be more careful."

  I relayed Xia Lin's words to Captain Zhong, and after nodding, he left directly. I turned around and took a look at Dongfang Yong Hao, sighed: "We'll go see your Queen Mother now, and ask her to protect the young lady of your household."

  Dongfang Yonghao nodded and started the car as soon as I got in, speeding off in a different direction.

  I knew that this direction must be where Wang Mu was, and for a moment I glanced at Li Yingying, hinting to her to be careful for a while.

  Li Yingying nodded slightly and imperceptibly, then said to Xia Lin: "Your wound has split open and may leave a scar. I'll do my best to help you and try to make the scar as small as possible."

  Xia Lin's face flashed a hint of distress, and she said softly: "Can't we avoid leaving scars? It... would be very unsightly."

  Li Yingying shook her head slightly: "Unless you wait until you're better before having plastic surgery, now the possibility of not leaving scars is too small."

  Xia Lin let out a soft sigh, looked at me for a moment, and then fell silent, lost in thought.

  Li Yingying almost immediately glared at me and then pretended not to know me, turning her head to look at the scenery outside the car.

  Our car took us smoothly to the residence of Queen Mother. It was a high tower, with nine floors, each floor being almost six meters high, and at least over fifty meters high.

  The tower is a six-sided treasure pagoda, the smallest face of this layer has more than 100 square meters, it's very spacious. However, as you go up, the space gets smaller and smaller, the whole tower is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top.

  Our arrival caused the guards standing outside the tower to be somewhat puzzled and tense, with dozens of gun barrels aimed at us.

  Dongfang Yonghao stopped the car and got out, saying a few words to the front guard. The guard immediately ran away. However, the remaining people still pointed their guns at us, showing no signs of relaxation.

  I feel that the atmosphere here is not quite right, looking around at these guards, there are enough troops to form a battalion. And among these four or five hundred people, each and every one of them is armed to the teeth, fully equipped with live ammunition. Moreover, they all have tense and uneasy expressions on their faces, as if they had just been attacked.

  As I looked at the ground, my view was immediately confirmed. Because there were many shell casings on the ground, and some bloodstains that had obviously been washed by water. These bloodstains were still wet, so the attack must have occurred not long ago.

  The guard who had just run away came back soon. He said a few words to Dongfang Yonghao and then returned to his original position.

  Dongfang Yonghao immediately returned to our car and said to me and Li Yingying: "Wang Mu was attacked by someone, injured, and is now being rescued. Our intention is to ask Doctor Li for help in rescuing our Wang Mu, I don't know if Doctor Li...

  Li Yingying waved her hand and said: "500,000 yuan, one cent less is not negotiable."

  Dongfang Yonghao immediately said: "We can give you 1 million. As long as you save our Queen Mother, money is no problem."

  Li Yingying was overjoyed and pushed open the car door, shouting: "Dai Lu, I'm going to rescue Wang Mu now. Ten thousand, don't forget your promise."

  At this time, Li Yingying was a complete money-grubber and a very good one at finding ways to make money.

  "Dongfang Yonghao said without hesitation: 'Please take care of my young lady, I'll take Doctor Li to rescue our Queen Mother.'"

  I nodded and watched as Dongfang Yonghao hurriedly ran far away.

  I turned around and looked at Xia Lin, saying in a low voice: "Are we going to wait in the car or should I take you down to find a place to rest for a while?"

  Xia Lin just fainted again, her face was very pale, after hearing what I said, she said: "I feel suffocated in this car, carry me out."

  I knew she couldn't walk by herself at this time, because the wound had split open and walking would cause bleeding again. So I got out of the car first, turned around and gently picked up Xia Lin.

  Xia Lin said in a low voice: "Go into the tower, there is one of my rooms inside."

  I know she's a goddess from the Goddess Organization, and her status isn't low. So I don't find it strange at all that she has a room here.

  With Charlene's guidance, I quickly carried Charlene to her room.

  Inside this high tower, the Goddess Organization's people had renovated it into several rooms, each room was independent, with a corridor and stairs in between, very much like an ordinary residential building.

  Xia Lin's room is on the first floor of the high-rise building, and I saw a number on the door, which reads 107. When we entered this 107, I found that the decoration here is very special. The floor is made of solid wood flooring with a uniform color, belonging to the solid wood structure, very sturdy. The walls are also pasted with wooden boards, and the patterns are all original colors. Even the furniture inside is made of wooden boards, which is a full-fledged primitive decoration style.

  I gently laid Sharleen on the only bed in this room and then asked her: "How does it feel?"

  Xia Lin smiled and said, "It's still more comfortable at home, I feel much better." After a pause, she continued, "This room is only twenty square meters, it's very small. You can take a look around yourself, if there's anything to eat or drink, help yourself."

  It wasn't until now that I had the time to carefully examine this small room, and it was only then that I realized that inside this room, apart from the small compartment facing the door with a bed in it, there was actually a small kitchen and a small bathroom separated by wooden boards. This is also considered fully equipped, and people can live here.

  The kitchen is very small, and apart from cooking utensils, there's basically nothing else. I couldn't find anything to eat or drink, so I had to go back to Sharin and ask her: "How do you guys usually live? I mean, how do you solve the problem of eating? Do you cook for yourselves?"

  Xia Lin smiled and said: "I've never done it, usually the cafeteria provides meals, just go eat at the right time. Are you hungry? Otherwise, I'll take you to dinner."

  I smiled: "You're not completely immobile now, but you still need to move as little as possible and avoid reopening the wound. I'll take care of eating myself, let's wait until Dongfang Yonghao and Dr. Li arrive before discussing further."

  Xia Lin smiled slightly: "You call the guards outside to bring over two portions of food, Dongfang Yonghao and Dr. Li still don't know when they can finish, if we wait any longer, we'll be starving!"

  I nodded and got up to go outside the high tower, casually found a guard and asked him to help us bring some food over.

  The guard didn't ask any more questions and turned to run away, looking very obedient. Earlier, Xia Lin said someone would give me a hard time, and I was mentally prepared, but unexpectedly the guards here listened to my words very well, the contrast is quite big.

  I didn't immediately return to Sharlin's room, but instead looked around the area. This was a small flat area in the mountains, looking like it was only a few hundred square meters in size. Except for the over 100 square meters occupied by the tower, all other areas had been converted into battle positions. About one battalion of troops were on guard around the tower, and it looked quite crowded.

  The guard's efficiency was very fast, and after waiting for a short while, he brought me back two portions of food. The food was packed in two thermoses, and I didn't know what delicious dishes they were either.

  I took the meal back to Xiaolin's room, and saw that Xiaolin had already closed her eyes for a rest. So I quietly went into the small kitchen and started my first meal here.

  It's worth mentioning that the food was quite good, three meals a day with soup and a bowl of rice, plus an apple. Compared to the usual military life, it was much better.

  I ate a big mouthful of food and finished my own portion in just a few bites.

  I turned around and took a look at Xia Lin who was still resting, I got up and walked to her bed, stretched out my hand and covered the quilt that she had kicked open.

  I don't know if it was because of my exaggerated movements or what, but Xia Lin almost immediately woke up and then somewhat nervously said: "What are you doing?!"

  I smiled: "You lifted up the quilt, I was worried you'd catch a chill, so..."

  Xia Lin smiled: "Is that so, thank you."

  I smiled and took a step back: "The dishes have all been served, do you want to eat some now? It's very delicious, better than the usual military rations."

  Xia Lin smiled and said: "I'm really hungry, can you help me get it over here?"

  I turned around and brought the thermos box to Xia Lin's bed, helped her take out the dishes and fruits, and handed them over to her.

  Xia Lin's small mouth was eating rice, and on the train that time, they were like two different people.

  I don't know if she was embarrassed by me eating loudly here, so she stood up, slowly turned around and walked to one side.

  Xia Lin said in a low voice: "Can you help me again... I... I feel some pain, aren't you good at relieving pain? Help me once."

  I knew she was talking about using true energy to stop the pain, so I smiled slightly and said: "This is indeed the best way to relieve pain, but ordinary people usually don't have the chance to experience it. I can help you, but now that you already know the method of cultivation, it's better for you to cultivate your own true energy first, the effect will be even better."

  Xia Lin's face showed a hint of expectation: "I will try my best, I have already tried to cultivate it before, and I feel that it is much better than cultivating the Eastern methods. Maybe... I can really cultivate the Wudang Heart Method..."

  I glanced at Xia Lin and said, "Anyway, you've tried your best. Now that I think about it, you're already my junior sister. From now on, I'll call you Junior Sister, how does that sound?"

  Xia Lin slightly stunned, then nodded: "Shixiong, from now on I am also a part of Wudang, so you calling me Shimei is also proper."

  I smiled and thought to myself: If Master knew you were a member of the Goddess organization and still opposed the current government, I wonder if he would really accept you as his apprentice.

  Thinking of this, I secretly smiled wryly and said: "Next time we have a chance, I'll take you to meet my master, who is also your master. Our master is known in the martial arts world as Kong Shou, remember that."

  Xia Lin seemed to have heard the name Kong Shou before, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "I know this one. I heard Dong Fang mention it before, saying that the current head of Wudang is called Kong Shou, and he has an older martial brother named Yichen."

  I nodded: "That's our Shibo, Yichun Shibo. You'll meet him later too."

  Xia Lin smiled: "Then you are now my senior brother, can't you help me relieve the pain?"

  I took a step forward, reached out and grasped her hand, channeling the true energy within me into her body to alleviate the pain that wracked her.

  Xia Lin seemed to be enjoying the treatment, with a look of happiness and satisfaction on her face. I smiled and said, "Don't just enjoy it, carefully feel the flow of true energy in your body, it will be very beneficial for your future cultivation."

  Xia Lin immediately closed her eyes to feel the flow of true energy I had injected into her body. In fact, I could sense that almost all the meridians in her body were blocked, making it much more difficult for her to cultivate successfully than an average person. To put it bluntly, it was almost impossible for her to cultivate unless someone with strong abilities helped her.

  In that case, I'd better not say more, after all, Xia Lin is now full of confidence, and this would be a blow to her.

  The true energy I injected into Xia Lin quickly made the pain in her body completely disappear. Xia Lin smiled and said thank you to me, just as she was about to say something else, we heard someone knocking on the door outside.

  Xia Lin said: "Come in!" Then she quietly withdrew her hand, with a hint of blush on her face.

  The person who came in was a guard, and behind the guard, there was another person. This person was very arrogant, always walking with his head held high, looking like he thought he was above everyone else.

  However, this person was a woman, so I didn't say anything. It was Xia Lin who, upon seeing this person, said very rudely: "So it's you, what do you want from me? I'm injured and need to rest."

  This person didn't mind Xia Lin's impolite words and continued to say, "Moon Goddess, you might not know yet, but the Queen Mother is injured and may not be able to recover... The one who will take over the Queen Mother's position next is me. So, please be polite to me, or else..."

  Xia Lin coldly interrupted him: "Or what? You dare to move me? Just you, thinking of becoming the Queen Mother, dream on!"

  "This guy looked at Xia Lin, then looked at me and smiled strangely: "So there's a pretty boy helping you, no wonder you dare to talk to me like that. I've heard he's Jin Cang, haha, looks quite handsome too. Xia Lin, it seems you now have Jin Cang as your helper, getting arrogant. Hmph, don't blame me for not warning you, even if Jin Cang is willing to help you, it won't be of any use in our goddess's current state."

  Xia Lin hastily said: "Jin Cang is my friend and also my guest, don't talk nonsense. Besides, what I want to say has nothing to do with you, do you think you are the Queen Mother?"

  This person coldly smiled and ignored Xia Lin, instead walking in front of me and smiling slyly as she said: "Jin Cang, you're so handsome, I've taken a liking to you. Why don't you follow me now? My name is Min Hui Zhen, the Goddess of Light from the Female God Organization. If you follow me, I guarantee you'll have endless benefits."

  I smiled: "Okay, but we're not very familiar with each other, you have to give me some time to think about it."

  This woman, who looks somewhat overbearing and arrogant, is actually called Min Hui Zhen, and is also the Goddess of Light in the Goddess organization, so her status shouldn't be low. If she weren't at least forty years old, I think she would still be considered a very beautiful woman. Now, my main goal is to figure out what's going on with the Goddess organization, so I'm being quite polite to her.

  Min Hui Zhen almost subconsciously smiled and said: "That's good, I can take my time to consider it with you. Let me tell you, among the goddesses, the Goddess of Light is second only to the Queen Mother, and compared to those moon goddesses, she is at least one level higher. You should think carefully, don't regret following the wrong person later."

  I smiled and said: "Then how can I know whether what you're saying is true or not? The Moon Goddess also said she was the Queen Mother's most trusted subordinate before."

  Min Huizhen's face slightly changed color, and she said angrily: "She's talking nonsense, King Mu's most trusted subordinate is me!" After a pause, she smiled and said: "Actually you don't know, we have ten goddesses in total, apart from me and Xia Lin, there are eight other goddesses, all of us are King Mu's trusted subordinates."

  I smiled and thought to myself, "This person is not as arrogant and brainless as she appears on the surface. She's actually very cunning and meticulous in her thinking. Just now, my probe was skillfully avoided by her, without offending her rival, Xia Lin. It seems that this female organization is really extraordinary, and being infiltrated by the enemy before was just an accident."

  Thinking of this, I said: "Is that so? Are all ten of you very beautiful, like the goddesses in legend?"

  Min Hui Zhen smiled, looking very happy. She covered her face with her hands and said in a somewhat shy tone: "You say I'm very pretty? Thank you..."

  I laughed, and it was a very helpless laugh...
