Chapter 224: Making Plans

In the forest, Asura stood clad in black, silently watching her.

He really came. Curiosity flickered in Mei Gongzi\'s heart. How did he even know I was there holding the milk tea? Wait, does this mean he comes here every evening?

"Let\'s talk at your small inn. We\'ll go separately." With these words, Asura turned and activated Leopard Flash, disappearing swiftly.

Mei Gongzi watched his departing figure for a moment, then returned to the main road and hurried on.

Asura emerged from a dark corner just as she reached the small inn next to Kali Plaza. Without a word, he followed her into the inn.

They entered the room Mei Gongzi had once taken Tang San into and closed the door.

"Have you been following me all this time?" Mei Gongzi\'s gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Do you not trust me?" Asura retorted.

Their eyes met, and Mei Gongzi\'s brow furrowed.

Considering Asura\'s previous actions, he seemed to be on her side. But what was the purpose of this stranger? If it weren\'t for the fact that he was human, Mei Gongzi would have long since taken action against him, especially after he discovered her secret last time.

Asura asked, "What\'s the plan this time?"

Mei Gongzi took a deep breath, suppressing the doubts in her heart, "The target is the Wind Wolf King. Peak ninth-order. There are no god-level Wind Wolves in Kali City right now, that\'s confirmed."

The Wind Wolves? Hearing this name, a slight tremor ran through Asura\'s heart, for it was this exact demon clan that he originally belonged to. He harbored a deep hatred for the Wind Wolves, as his mother in this world had perished at their hands. And back then, he was utterly powerless. He was bound to visit the Wind Wolves someday, and the priest from the Wind Wolf Town topped his kill list.

"Good! Do you have a map?" Asura asked.

"Yes." Mei Gongzi took out a leather map scroll and spread it on the table.

"The Wind Wolves\' residence is nearby. Apart from the elder stationed at the Ancestral Court, there are no other god-level powerhouses in the entire clan. Recently, they\'ve frequently clashed with the Flash Leopard clan, so targeting them would not easily reveal our identities."

Asura looked at the map as Mei Gongzi spoke. "The day after tomorrow is the annual sacrificial ceremony of the Wind Wolves. They use human slaves for blood sacrifices to their ancestors. The ceremony will be held at the altar behind their ancestral residence. The king and many Wind Wolf leaders will participate. That time is when the strongest members are at the ancestral residence. But according to the Wind Wolves\' customs, there will be a celebratory feast after the sacrifice. I plan to act at night, after that feast."

Asura looked at the map, nodded, and said, "It\'s a good idea. That is when they are most relaxed, and many strong ones are present. Are you confident?"

Mei Gongzi replied, "Stealth is one of my strongest points. I\'ll find the right opportunity, strike accurately, and immediately flee far away."

The corner of Asura\'s mouth twitched. "Just like that?"

"What else?" Mei Gongzi looked at him. She had done the same thing last time and had indeed succeeded. Of course, Asura had assisted her, but she hadn\'t known that then and was confident in her skills.

"Is that true stealth, though?" Asura said. "Whether successful or not, the target shouldn\'t discover you before, during, or after. Think of your last attack on the Titan Bear leader, the fact that he was allowed to roar caused all our troubles. Otherwise, you could have assassinated him without anyone noticing, calmly destroyed all traces, and escaped without leaving any clues."

"How is that possible?" Mei Gongzi frowned.

The corner of Asura\'s mouth twitched again. "Indeed, you’re still a young girl!"

"What did you say?" Mei Gongzi\'s brows shot up, her beautiful eyes widening.

"Cough, nothing, nothing! I have a better way; would you like to hear it?" Asura quickly added.

"Speak," Mei Gongzi said indifferently.

"The feast will involve eating and drinking. We can start from there," Asura suggested. "If we can make them fall into a deep sleep, wouldn\'t it make executing the plan much easier?"

"Are you suggesting poisoning?" Mei Gongzi was stunned. "How is that possible? Powerful demons have strong resistance to poison. They simply can\'t be poisoned."

"They can’t be poisoned by ordinary poisons. What we\'ll use is not ordinary," Asura said calmly.

Hearing these words, a chill rose from Mei Gongzi\'s heart for some reason.

"Define \'not ordinary,\'" Mei Gongzi said.

"How about we make a bet?" Asura proposed. "If I succeed this time, then you\'ll have to trust me in the future and stop being on guard all the time. How about it? Consider this my pledge of loyalty."

"What do you mean by \'pledge of loyalty\'?" Mei Gongzi asked, puzzled.

"...A pledge of loyalty is like, when everyone is doing bad things together, I take the initiative to do something bad. You\'ve tied me to your chariot and got something on me."

"I haven\'t done anything bad!" Mei Gongzi said coldly.

"Right, right, no bad deeds. But we\'re partners who act together, and partners should trust each other. Consider this as my way of gaining your trust." Asura sounded somewhat helpless; he could sense Mei Gongzi\'s wariness towards him. This was even more pronounced than when she was around his true self, with whom she was clearly more relaxed.

"So, what\'s your plan of action?" Mei Gongzi inquired.

"Poison the alcohol. The strong flavor of the drinks can easily mask the taste of the poison. I\'ll add something to the poison so it only takes effect very late, once they\'ve already consumed a lot of it, and its effects are long-lasting. We can\'t use actual deadly poisons, those are too easy to detect, but using a sleeping drug shouldn’t be a problem. Once everybody is asleep, you can do whatever you want... and kill whoever you want."

Mei Gongzi looked at him intently, "Then let\'s try your method."

"If this is successful, you can be less guarded against me in the future," Asura said. "I\'ll prove to you through my actions that I am a reliable partner."

"Hmm," Mei Gongzi responded softly.

"I\'ll go first. I\'ll go back and plan in detail; let me borrow the map. We\'ll meet here again the afternoon after next. We\'ll start our action before evening."

"Okay."

Asura rolled up the map and left quickly. Mei Gongzi sat alone in the room, contemplating the exchange she had just had with this mysterious individual.

For her, Asura had become even more mysterious. He clearly had more than one Demonic God Transformation, and he used them effortlessly; she couldn\'t see through his actual strength, as he had never fought at full power in front of her. However, he gave her a sense of danger, so he was definitely powerful . More importantly, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow that Asura had given her was incredibly useful. The array inscribed on it was ridiculously complex; she had tried to replicate it but failed.

If it weren\'t for the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, she couldn\'t have killed the Titan Bear last time. And now he mentioned making poison; what exactly was it that he couldn\'t do?

From Asura\'s somewhat helpless tone, she could feel no malice toward her. In addition, he seemed to know a couple of things about her. Could it be that the higher-ups of the Redemption Society had sent him? For a human of his strength, this was the only explanation that made sense. But he didn\'t admit to being a member of the Redemption Society, which was very strange.
