Capítulo 1550: Chapter 1550: The Plan Has Hope

Actually, Shuiyue and Jinghua also wanted to leave with Luo Yang.

But Lord Bao wouldn’t agree, and the two women didn’t dare to ask.

They hoped Luo Yang would speak up and gently tugged at the hem of his shirt.

Luo Yang, of course, understood their intention. He thought it over and figured that even if he brought it up, Lord Bao would probably not agree.

After all, Luo Yang had initially said that once he helped Lord Bao restore her original form, she would then release Shuiyue and Jinghua.

Now the goal was still far from being achieved, so how could he justify taking Shuiyue and Jinghua away first?

So, Luo Yang held Shuiyue’s and Jinghua’s hands separately and comforted them: “Sister Yue, Sister Jing, you stay here. Once I succeed, Madam Teng won’t blame you anymore. In the future, we all have to live together.”

After hearing this, Shuiyue and Jinghua had no more to say and could only nod.

“Madam Teng, I’m off to work. Look forward to my good news.” Luo Yang shook Lord Bao’s hand.

“Don’t let me down!” Lord Bao was full of anticipation.

Restoring her original form was Lord Bao’s greatest wish.

It far surpassed obtaining the Blood Devil.

Actually, Lord Bao’s desire for the Blood Devil was merely to seek revenge using it.

Saying goodbye to Lord Bao, Shuiyue, and Jinghua, Luo Yang passed by the pool and saw Shuimei still there. He coaxed her for a bit before heading to the surface.

After a few breaths of fresh air, Luo Yang felt slightly clearer-headed.

Nevertheless, the pressure was still immense.

Having promised Lord Bao that he could restore her to her original form within a day was an exceptionally difficult task.

If he failed, Shuiyue and Jinghua would meet their end.

Luo Yang had considered that if he could uproot Skull Fortress, he could also permanently rescue Shuiyue and Jinghua from their dire straits.

But the chances of success were only fifty-fifty.

If he failed to kill all the high-level members of Skull Fortress, it would mark the beginning of Luo Yang’s nightmare.

Considering it repeatedly, Luo Yang thought it best not to act too hastily, or he might get himself into trouble.

He crouched by the roadside to smoke a cigarette, still undecided about whether to see Aunt Thirteen.

Luo Yang’s biggest concern was whether Aunt Thirteen knew how to restore Lord Bao’s original form; otherwise, it would be very troublesome.

As time ticked away, Luo Yang was anxious and sweating profusely from his forehead.

After another cigarette, he finally called Aunt Thirteen.

When the call connected, Luo Yang didn’t know how to start.

He heard Aunt Thirteen’s voice on the other end.

“Hey kid, what’s up?” Aunt Thirteen asked curiously.

“Aunt Thirteen, little sister, can we meet?” Luo Yang asked.

Face-to-face would make it easier to discuss.

Many things are hard to say over the phone.

Aunt Thirteen said, “What’s the matter? Can’t you say it over the phone?”

Luo Yang said, “Aunt Thirteen, little sister, it’s something big, and I need to talk to you about it.”

So Aunt Thirteen asked Luo Yang to meet her at the hotel where she was staying.

He hailed a taxi by the roadside, arrived at the hotel, and entered Aunt Thirteen’s room.

“What’s the matter?” Aunt Thirteen asked directly.

“Aunt Thirteen, little sister, have you ever considered attacking Skull Fortress?” Luo Yang countered.

With puzzled eyes, Aunt Thirteen couldn’t understand why he was asking.

Knowing that not long ago, Luo Yang opposed attacking Skull Fortress.

“Kid, what’s gotten into you?” Aunt Thirteen’s eyes were full of suspicion.

“If I can wipe out Skull Fortress, my friends and I will be much safer. Otherwise, Skull Fortress keeps threatening me,” Luo Yang said bluntly.

This was the truth.

Aunt Thirteen said, “Kid, just focus on finding the Blood Devil for me. We’ll handle the rest.”

Within a day, or two or three days at most, if Luo Yang couldn’t fulfill his promise to Lord Bao, it wouldn’t just be Shuiyue and Jinghua who would be in trouble; Luo Yang himself would be in deep trouble.

Lord Bao’s heart was full of hope, and as they say, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

By then, if Luo Yang broke his promise, Lord Bao would be consumed by anger and completely lose her sanity.

“Aunt Thirteen, little sister, I want to help you eliminate Skull Fortress,” Luo Yang said.

Hearing this, Aunt Thirteen was even more puzzled.

Luo Yang had once said he refused to help Shi Sheng Palace deal with Skull Fortress.

To change his mind so quickly was generally suspicious behavior.

Aunt Thirteen sneered, “Kid, what got into you?”

Actually, Luo Yang wanted to speak gently, but ultimately he needed to get to the point.

So instead of wasting words, he might as well get straight to it.

Seeing Aunt Thirteen was very skeptical, Luo Yang said, “Skull Fortress must be destroyed, or I won’t sleep well.”

Aunt Thirteen laughed, “Kid, don’t worry. We will deal with them. You don’t even need to get involved in this.”

Hearing this, Luo Yang thought to himself that this wasn’t good.

He wanted to make a deal with Aunt Thirteen: he would help Shi Sheng Palace against Skull Fortress, and Shi Sheng Palace would first tell him how to restore Lord Bao’s original form.

According to Aunt Thirteen, it seemed impossible to make the deal.

This was a giant loss for Luo Yang.

“Aunt Thirteen, little sister, without me, you can’t uproot Skull Fortress,” Luo Yang said.

This was somewhat true.

After all, Luo Yang had some understanding of Skull Fortress, and in Aunt Thirteen’s view, internal and external cooperation was necessary to deal the greatest blow to Skull Fortress.

“Why did you change your mind?” Aunt Thirteen asked curiously.

“Skull Fortress is also forcing me to find the Blood Devil and said if I don’t find it in a few days, they’ll kill me,” Luo Yang said.

When Aunt Thirteen heard this, she was silent in thought.

“If you find they’re going to make a move, call me,” Aunt Thirteen said.

“I came here to discuss dealing with Skull Fortress, not to ask for your protection,” Luo Yang said anxiously.

Seeing Luo Yang so determined, Aunt Thirteen nodded and agreed to talk.

Luo Yang quickly said, “Aunt Thirteen, little sister, I have a plan to take down Skull Fortress completely.”

Aunt Thirteen sneered, “Let’s hear it.”

To her, the idea of uprooting Skull Fortress seemed very unrealistic.

If they could deliver a heavy blow to Skull Fortress, that would be considered a success.

Luo Yang said, “First, I need to gain the trust of Skull Fortress, then I can lure Skull Fortress people to a designated location.”

Aunt Thirteen said, “How will you gain Skull Fortress’s trust?”

This was exactly what Luo Yang hoped she would ask.

“Aunt Thirteen, little sister, listen. Skull Fortress people say that their leader turned into a monster, was that your doing from Shi Sheng Palace?” Luo Yang probed.

“Yes!” Aunt Thirteen admitted.

To make Lord Bao into that, Luo Yang thought it wasn’t poison but the power of some sort of curse.

“Then can the Skull Fortress leader be restored to their original form?” Luo Yang asked again.

“Only our Palace Master knows,” Aunt Thirteen said.

This was the result Luo Yang expected.

But hearing it from Aunt Thirteen’s mouth was still somewhat disappointing.

“My plan is this. First, restore the Skull Fortress leader to gain their trust, so that in the future, they will believe whatever I say. All you need to do is prepare for the ambush, and I’ll lure the upper echelons of Skull Fortress into the trap,” Luo Yang said.

“This plan of yours is pretty good,” Aunt Thirteen praised.
