Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 222 - 145: Boasting in Turns, the Mysteriously Bizarre Little Pepper, Why Not Eat Snacks?

The scorching sun blazes down, and the air is sweltering.

The alley has returned to silence, with no sounds of battle or fighting.

Blood pools on the concrete ground, mixing with the stench of garbage decay, attracting swarms of flies and dozens of large rats.

Clomp, clomp, clomp...

Footsteps sounded, scaring away the rats and flies.

"Hahaha, Master Chong, Expert Bai Mo, Captain Zhang Shan, thank you for your hard work today!

"What's really going on here?

"Could you please explain face-to-face?"

It was Chairman Chen Shu, accompanied by several suit-clad logic experts, Ancient Immortal Dynasty experts, and top-notch Sequence Eight masters from Shangjing who came to find Bai Mo and the others.

Bai Mo noticed that although Chairman Chen Shu's tone was calm, there was urgency in the expression at the corners of his eyes. Even in this dirty, stinky, crowded alley, he wanted to start talking.

Zhang Shan pondered for a moment, then organized his words.

"Let me tell you about my feelings at the time. In hindsight, it feels like we've had a dream, or... like our perception has been altered..."

As Zhang Shan spoke, Chairman Chen Shu occasionally nodded.

The logic experts, psychology experts, and Ancient Immortal Dynasty experts behind the chairman all took out small notebooks and began to quickly make notes, frowning as if analyzing.

After a short time, Zhang Shan finished speaking.

Master Chong added a few more pointers.

Bai Mo also chimed in modestly, adding a few remarks.

Chairman Chen Shu nodded, smiling as he shook hands with each of the three.

"Thank you for your hard work!

"You can go and cool off in the car now, I still have unfinished business here."

...

The committee's nanny car is spacious and luxuriously decorated.

The windows are tinted, making the inside's light much softer.

Bang!

The car door closed, and Bai Mo, Zhang Shan, and Master Chong sat on the soft seats, enjoying the cool air conditioning.

They exchanged a smile, finally revealing their happiness.

Master Chong, familiar with the routine, opened the car fridge, took out some Cokes, and handed them to Bai Mo and Zhang Shan.

"Haha, it's not easy, another big achievement credited, hahaha."

Zhang Shan just held the icy Coke in his hands, grinning foolishly. For Master Chong and Bai Mo, accomplishments translate to money. For him, achievements pave the way forward.

Bang!

Bai Mo twisted open the Coke, inhaling the cool, sweet scent, and handed the Coke to Big and Small Eyes in his arms.

He rubbed its chubby little head.

"Were you hot just now? Drink up!"

Then he reached into the car fridge for another bottle, twisted it open, and took a sip.

"I saw the chairman seemed pretty anxious, huh?"

Master Chong grinned.

"That's a traditional skill of the chairman.

"I bet the chairman is busy right now."

Bai Mo furrowed his brows; weren't all the enemies cleaned up by Wu Qingyun and Su Yaoyao?

"What's the chairman busy with?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Master Chong took a sip of Coke, gazing out the car window.

"Busy writing press releases, hahaha! Busy discussing lens shots with reporters, busy making programs, promoting!"

Bai Mo suddenly understood.

Such a major event as wiping out the Dark World's stronghold, the chairman would surely seize the chance to boast!

Bai Mo didn't mind this... Boasting a bit is nice! Showcasing the committee's strength boosts public confidence and attracts more wavering immortal-related personnel to join the committee, strengthening its power... This is undoubtedly a good thing!

Master Chong pondered for a moment, sneaked a look outside the car window, smacked his lips, scratched his head, adjusted the sunglasses on his nose.

"I'll step out for a bit!"

Saying this, he pushed open the car door, ran out, and returned to the alley.

Bai Mo and Zhang Shan exchanged a glance... what's the old man up to again?

They relaxed, enjoying the cool air conditioning, sipping the icy sweet Coke, and turning on the small TV in the car, to find the news broadcast already started!

On the screen, a serious-looking female reporter held a microphone, using the chaotic, blood-soaked battlefield as a backdrop.

"...Hello viewers, this is the latest battlefield!

"Committee Member Su Yaoyao, led by Immortal Beast Peacock, along with Committee Member Wu Qingyun, advanced here and slain over two hundred wanted criminals..."

Bai Mo adjusted to a more comfortable position on the chair, patting Big and Small Eyes's chubby belly.

He noticed the news subtly placed Su Yaoyao and the Peacock ahead of Wu Qingyun. Is it to boost Su Yaoyao's popularity?

Sure enough, when the camera turned to Su Yaoyao, she was dressed in a blood-stained uniform, looking solemn, with the majestic, proud Peacock Red Treasure behind her, wearing a durian shell helmet.

"...Actually, Red Treasure is a very kind kid, it loves fairy tales, music, food, beautiful scenery, and nature. It doesn't like killing.

"But Red Treasure is also a very sensible child. It knows all beauty requires protection, it knows it must show its fangs, claws, and immortal techniques against evil..."

Su Yaoyao lavishly praised, making Peacock Red Treasure bloom with pride.

Bai Mo and Zhang Shan watched, both sweating a bit with embarrassment.

But on camera, the Peacock calmly accepted the flattery. Squinting occasionally peeking at the reporter and camera crew, evaluating the exposure level by the size and scale.

Perhaps its body's Immortal Qi was already drastically increasing!

Bai Mo held back his laughter, finished watching that segment.

The next interviewee was none other than Master Chong!

"Oh, I'm getting old, just these old bones, being able to do something for the Human World, it's like accumulating some good karma for myself..."

No wonder the old rascal ran out in such a hurry, turns out he rushed to show his face, wanting to gain more fame so later he can sell those hormone-fed fake Immortal Insects?

Zhang Shan nudged Bai Mo with his elbow.

"Do you think this news conference is like a boasting contest?
