Afterlife Department

Chapter 632 – Windfall

Their eyes widened, stunned, when they heard what Xiao Hualing said. "WHAT?!" they exclaimed in shock. But, their voices can't hide their glee. Who would expect this windfall?!

Instead of dying in the plane crash which the enemies are expecting, Yi Bing and Huo Ling actually survived! But, that is not all. Yi Bing and Huo Ling actually landed on the base of the enemies! Who would expect this kind of plot twist?!

They feel like ever since Huo Ling arrived in their world, their luck has increased! They have finally obtained clues against the enemies, and also thwarted the enemies' plans by launching a counterattack and defense, protecting the remaining members of the Golden-Haired Monkey clan and the Sunflower Clan, and together with the other clans, urged them to retreat in the mountains first to hide and also to gather strength since they definitely will not just stay silent and be wronged again and again by these foreign bastards!

And, oh, it seems that they also have a spy in their own domain, which acted as the catalyst of the enemies catching the Golden-Haired Monkeys and killing the Sunflower Clan members. Helping the enemies while betraying your own land, they definitely won't let this damned spy off!

"How did they find the base?" they asked, puzzled. Even though they feel grateful of this windfall, they first have to know how did this come to be.

"Oh. Senior Yi said that when he went to the cockpit to alter the course of the plane so that the plane won't crash in a residential area or a populated city." Xiao Hualing answered. "But, he found that the course was already fixed. He was relieved when he saw that the plane is going to the mountains, so he didn't bother altering the course." He looked at them. "He is actually surprised that they actually crashed near the enemy's base." She explained.

They all felt speechless.

"Senior Yi figured that the enemies might want to take senior Huo there when they catches him." Xiao Hualing continued. "But, if they didn't, they already know that the plane would explode with someone triggering the bombs so that the plane won't crash near their base." She said before she paused. "Who would expect that the one who would trigger the bombs would die after senior Yi and senior Huo retaliated… well, they actually wouldn't expect that the two would be so powerful when they retaliated. They clearly underestimated them." she shrugged. "So, not only did the bombs not explode, the plane also crashed near their base, destroying some parts of their base, and senior Yi and senior Huo also were alive and also escaped so their base now were found out." She finished.

"… pft!" they all finally can't hold back their laughter. "AHAHAHAHAHA! This is too stupid!" they said as they rolled on the floor while holding their stomachs.

Even Mu Li, who looked cold, can't help but chuckle. "If their plan didn't go wrong, then it would have been us who would suffer loses. But…" he grinned. "… too bad for them, their plan went wrong. Haha." He laughed.

Zhuo Xia also smiled in schadenfreude. The enemies killed his clansmen. Naturally, he feels very happy.

"Not to mention that they must not know that Yi Bing and Huo Ling are alive, now their base was found out by us!" Lan Tian gloated.

Hao Baiyun nodded in agreement. "En. That's right." He said and laughed.

Gu Xingfeng smiled as he held Hao Baiyun's hand tight. "What do you plan to do now?" he asked.

"This is our yao world's battle." Hao Baiyun took a deep breath. "Leave this to us. You only need to work on the legal procedures, okay?" he told him.

"En." Gu Xingfeng nodded. Although he badly wanted to help his wife, he knows that his abilities are limited as a mortal. This makes him feel helpless and he can only sigh at his powerlessness.

Hao Baiyun patted his back, comforting him. Then, he turned to his subordinates. "We will follow the plan." He told them.

This made them surprised. "But, boss… how about the enemies' base?" they asked. Since they just found out the base of the enemies, they haven't included that in their plan.

Hao Baiyun's brows raised. "What are you worried about? Isn't there still me?" he asked. "I will personally give them a 'visit'!" he said and grinned.

Everyone. "…" not only will this be a 'surprise visit', but this will definitely be an unpleasant one for the enemies! They thought.

"Oh, that's right." Zi Chen muttered when he remembered something. He turned to Xiao Hualing. "How did Mr. Yi know that it was the enemies' base?" he asked.

Xiao Hualing started. "Oh, yes. I forgot." She muttered and slapped her forehead. Then, she looked at them. "Senior Yi didn't know that it was the enemies' base, until the people… or monsters, inside the base came out and he sensed a familiar presence in one of the enemies." She answered. "A familiar presence from our land." She told them.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened. This proves that there really is a traitor among them yao!

"Who is it?" Hao Baiyun asked.

Xiao Hualing was about to answer whey they heard the door opened. They turned and saw Yi Bing.

"It has a stinky scent of the reptiles." Yi Bing answered as he tapped on his wristwatch. "I sent you the picture." He told Hao Baiyun.

Everyone was surprised since Yi Bing actually still managed to capture a picture at that time when the plane has crashed and Huo Ling's condition is extremely bad, with them two even in the enemies' base! As expected of a grim reaper! Truly powerful!

With this picture, they can use this as an evidence!

Hao Baiyun feel emotional. "Thank you." He said as he opened Yi Bing's message.

"For Huo Ling." Yi Bing just said before he returned to Huo Ling's room.

Everyone as they watched his handsome back disappeared. "…" alright! We know that you like Huo Ling so much! No need to rub it on our faces! No need to feed us dog food! They thought and helplessly sighed. They looked at each other and smiled.

Now, they have gained an evidence, albeit it was due to Huo Ling's misfortune.

…

In the expanse of white, the snow heavily and harshly hit them but the monsters ignored it as if they can't feel the cold biting into their skin.

"Search the area again! I don't believe that nine-tailed fox has escaped!" their boss angrily yelled through his gnashed teeth. His eyes are bloodshot and his gaze is murderous. His whole body is exuding a murderous aura.

"I told you that we, yao, are a hard bone to chew, especially the fox clan." A voice spoke.

The boss of the monsters turned and saw an Asian person whose looks are androgynous. "Snake!" he shouted. It wasn't just the clan where the yao come from, but that he didn't bother remembering this yao's name since he looks down on him.

Now, it seems that he really shouldn't have underestimated him, nor ignored his advice.

"If you just sent me to fetch the nine-tailed fox, I could have succeeded. After all, we are from the same land so we have many common topics to chat about." The snake yao said as he smiled.

The boss sneered as his eyes narrowed while he glared at him. "Don't think I don't know what you are planning!" he said. "You just wanted to escape and use the snake's venom to control the fox and retaliate to your kin and other yao clans!" he exposed him. "Then, later, you will deal against us monsters! Don't think that I don't know that you are just using us monsters to deal against the other yao!" he added.

The monsters around them immediately murderously glared at the snake yao.

But, the snake yao was unperturbed as if he is currently not in a dangerous situation and might die at any second. "How can I?" he said, maintaining his smile. In fact, he even smiled brighter. "If I boarded on that plane, I would also die because of the bombs. I don't even know to whom you gave the remote control to activate the bombs." He explained. "So, sending me to that plane would have killed me." He said.

The boss didn't answer, since he knows that what the snake yao said is true. But, he still doesn't trust this yao. Not only because he is a yao, which is different from them monsters who came from the same land. This yao is obviously untrustworthy because of his deceptive looks, and deceptive… thoughts.

Suddenly, they heard someone grunted. "Ugh!" a monster cried in pain as it touched its head. Its figure staggered before it collapsed on the ground.

"What happened?!" the boss asked.

"We – we don't know! He suddenly collapsed!" his subordinates answered.

The boss's eyes widened before he sharply turned to the snake yao.. "You! What the hell did you?!" he asked him.
