Chapter 713 Li Shentan’s friend

Li Shentan did not care about anyone else as he stood in the middle of the Anjing House group of hitmen. It was as though he were not worried for his safety at all.

Instead, it was Si Liren, who was carrying a box on her back, who kept a close eye on everyone in case somebody tried to sneak attack Li Shentan.

Zhou Yingxue glanced at Li Shentan. “My boss only said you were his friend. He didn’t say you were his best friend.”

“Really?” Li Shentan’s eyes lit up. “He said I’m his friend?”

He didn’t at all care about the latter half of Zhou Yingxue’s reply. Instead, it seemed he was happy enough to hear that Ren Xiaosu regarded him as a friend.

Around them, Vanilla and the other Anjing House hitmen were looking at Li Shentan and Zhou Yingxue in bewilderment.

Actually, Vanilla was certain the young man before him was Li Shentan and not actually an impostor. After all, who had nothing better to do than impersonate the Demon Whisperer? Besides, no one was capable of doing that either.

But this was a really strange situation. Although Li Shentan claimed he was best friends with Zhou Yingxue’s boss, Zhou Yingxue seemed to despise him.

To this day, stories of Li Shentan had been spreading around the whole world to the point he was really terrifying. He was so scary that even babies would stop crying.

What was so extraordinary about Zhou Yingxue’s boss that made Li Shentan so eager to be his friend?

Moreover, Li Shentan seemed to be very happy just because he was addressed as a friend by the other party. All of that had subverted their understanding of this person.

Zhou Yingxue was a supernatural being, while her boss was also a friend of Li Shentan’s.

Vanilla felt like he was going nuts. Just who the fuck was her boss?

Wait a minute! After Zhou Yingxue heard White Mask get mentioned earlier, she immediately switched topics and asked them about him. Could that legendary and mysterious White Mask be Zhou Yingxue’s boss?

Vanilla was pondering if there was such a possibility, and the conclusion he reached was that it was highly plausible!

Vanilla was an elite hitman whose expertise was taking out his mission targets by making it look like an accident. Even the Kong Consortium’s intelligence agency could not find anything unusual for a long time after Kong Erdong was assassinated. A person like him had an extremely keen eye for detail, so he was able to deduce that Zhou Yingxue’s boss was White Mask in just an instant!

For some reason, Vanilla actually felt a little emotional at this moment. He had finally discovered some clues about White Mask.

White Mask had been exceptionally mysterious ever since he first appeared. No one knew where he came from, and there were no probable suspects linked to him. He was just an extremely mysterious person. Everyone was trying to guess who White Mask was, but there was a lack of key clues regarding his identity.

Meanwhile, Vanilla felt like he was a prophet who had grasped something no one else knew about yet.

As long as he followed the lead through Zhou Yingxue, he might just be able to find out the true identity of White Mask.

However, he would have to get past Li Shentan first.

Vanilla turned his gaze to the few dozen people standing behind Li Shentan and saw them standing there in a daze without moving. Everyone knew Li Shentan was good at hypnotism and could gain complete control over others without them realizing it. Who knew if Li Shentan would control all of them as well?

In this era of the “Rise of Gods,” Li Shentan was defined as a “demigod” by people. Of course, the label of “demigod” had to be in quotation marks, since everyone’s assessment of Li Shentan was exaggerated to signify how strong he was and did not literally mean he was representative of the gods. But who knew just what heights Li Shentan’s power were really at now?

Actually, Vanilla’s anxiety was totally uncalled for. There was not only one “demigod” standing in front of him at this moment but two.

At this moment, Zhou Yingxue said, “I don’t know where my boss is either. If you want to find him, you’ll have to head into the Sacred Mountains with me. I think he’s there.”

“OK, let’s head into the Sacred Mountains together then,” Li Shentan said happily. When he snapped his fingers, people behind him immediately came forward to set up a tent for him. Some of them even went to collect firewood while the others began cleaning up the grounds and started a fire for cooking.

With just a snap of his fingers, dozens of people suddenly got down to work. However, they only served Li Shentan alone.

This scene was out of this world!

“Little Liren, come and sit down. I got them to cook for you,” Li Shentan said.

“I want to eat sweet potatoes,” Si Liren muttered.

When Zhou Yingxue saw how adorable Si Liren was, she was overwhelmed with love. “I have some evolved sweet potatoes here that are scrumptious.”

Afterwards, Zhou Yingxue took out two sweet potatoes from her backpack.

When the others saw this joyous exchange, they did not know what to say. Their minds were no longer able to keep up with these changes.

Moreover, with Li Shentan around, none of them dared to act rashly. They were all afraid they would offend this legendary demon.

Li Shentan looked at the crowd with a smile. “What are you all standing around for? Have a seat. I’m in a good mood today, so why don’t I do some magic for everyone?”

“No, you don’t have to.” The group of people quickly shook their heads.

Li Shentan said in a stunned manner, “You all don’t like my magic tricks? Are you looking down on me?”

“No, it’s not that.” Everyone shook their heads again.

In the eyes of normal people, everyone at the campsite was mysterious and powerful. But in front of Li Shentan, this group of people felt an inexplicable sense of reverence.

Li Shentan was way too famous!

Some of the people here who were not supernatural beings had heard rumors of Li Shentan killing people like flies. They could not overcome the psychological fear of him so easily by just cheering themselves on in their heads.

Vanilla could only sigh in his mind. Just as he thought his group was extremely easy to handle, he encountered a legendary supernatural being, Li Shentan. What the hell!

Was Li Shentan about to seize control of the group?

After Vanilla calmed down a little, he pointed at the busy crowd of people around Li Shentan and said, “Are they under your control?”

“That’s right.” Li Shentan said with a grin as he took out a deck of cards and started shuffling it, “But you don’t have to worry that I’ll control you all. When I encountered these people, they were in the middle of a battle. If I didn’t control them, many of them would’ve definitely died. After the expedition to the Sacred Mountains, I’ll release them from my control. At that time, they’ll have to thank me for saving their lives, don’t you think?”

Vanilla gave a mental sigh. Li Shentan’s logic was indeed different from normal people’s. He was indeed a lunatic as the rumors said.

In Li Shentan’s opinion, he was not trying to control these people at all. Instead, he wanted to “save” them so they would be spared from the pain of war.

If it were anyone else who said that, Vanilla would have scoffed at this logic. But when it was Li Shentan who said it, it felt like it was only reasonable to do so.

If their group encountered the Pyro Company later, should they fight or not? If they did, what if they were also “saved” by Li Shentan?

Vanilla was unsure whether he could resist Li Shentan’s hypnotism!

He secretly decided that if they really encountered the Pyro Company members in the next few days, he would quickly shout that Li Shentan was here and that nobody should make a move.

With Li Shentan’s arrival, Vanilla felt there would probably be a lot of trouble on this expedition to the Sacred Mountains.
