Chapter 1159 Dumplings, sister-in-law, and wine!

When Huoqiuli finished his story, there was silence in the room for a moment.

Only the boiling water in the pot rolled and the dumplings floated up and down.

The detective sighed, stared at the Yuan Jing burning fiercely under the pot, and said:

"I thought we didn't have much time left, but I didn't expect it to be so tight."

"Fireball Li, how strong is it now?"

"87%." Huoqiuli replied immediately:

“It’s growing very quickly.”

"But today, the incense and prayer power is still accumulating. Starting tomorrow, after the global ban on tributes begins, the speed may slow down."

"If everything goes according to plan, conservatively speaking, we will have less than a month left."

"It's less than a month, and I don't think Invisible Li will be able to come out of the Demon Realm..." Dao Bili said in a deep voice, his eyes full of worry:

"The power of Abhoth is still with Evernight. If things go wrong, the plan of 'stealing the sky and replacing the day' may fail."

"There is a risk of failure, but we also left a lot of insurance measures in place, which should be enough to support the success of the plan." Huoqiuli took over the conversation and said:

"And if Yin Shenli noticed the termination of the slave contract, he would probably be able to guess our plan."

"After all, the situation we are facing now was within our expectations."

The Lu Lis all nodded, agreeing with Fireball Li's words.

The atmosphere began to become optimistic, just like dumplings rolling in the pot.

But at this moment, Dao Bili suddenly stood up, picked up the cold water that had been prepared beside the pot for a long time, and poured it into the pot.

The boiling and tumbling dumplings suddenly died down and sank slowly to the bottom of the pot.

"At the moment, it seems that there is no big problem in saving the world."

“But who will save us?”

"Or, have you formulated a self-help plan?"

The smile that had just appeared on Huoqiuli's lips suddenly froze. After a while, he silently took out a slave contract that had just been signed not long ago and threw it on the table in a deflated manner:

"Originally there were three insurances, but Li Luo was very stubborn and refused to cooperate, so now there are only two left."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li and the others focused their eyes on the oath contract on the table, and could clearly see a hint of crimson at the signature position that had not yet completely dried up.

"This newly signed contract is... Li Luo's?"

Lightning Li blinked and turned to look at Fireball Li.

"That's right." Fireball nodded weakly:

"That girl is so stubborn that she thinks that canceling the contract means I don't want her anymore, so... ah."

"It's not possible to tear up the contract by force?" Inspector Li took a breath and asked doubtfully:

"Didn't you cancel the contract between Wanyi and Miaoyin in this way? They thought something happened to you at the time and were so anxious that they almost cried..."

"Absolutely not." Fireball shook his head helplessly:

"When the contract was terminated, I was beside Li Luo and explained it to her several times."

"But she just didn't want to."

"Then I tore up the contract and terminated it by force. Guess what this girl did?"

"She put the worm tooth directly on her neck!"

"She said that if her benefactor didn't want her anymore, there was no need for her to live in this world. It would be better for her to die now and put an end to it all."

"You didn't explain to her that this was a preparation for Yongye to take over our bodies?" Shandianli asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I explained it, but she didn't listen!" Huoqiuli spread his hands, looking like he was at his wit's end.

"We just stick to one principle. If the contract is terminated, it means I don't want her anymore."

"Talk to her reasonably!" Armor Li immediately gave advice.

Afterwards, he was stared at by a crowd of people.

"Talking to a woman about reason?" Huoqiu Li curled his lips:

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"Uh..." The armored man shrank his neck and fell silent instantly.

Li is a stubborn girl, and Lu Li knows it all very well.

It is absolutely impossible to force change.

"Forget it, forget it. Li Luo is an uncontrollable factor and there is no way for us to interfere." Zhencha Li waved his hand and concluded:

"When there's really no other way, try to have a good talk with her later. Let's put this aside for now."

"This is the only way." Fireball leaned back, his head resting on the back of the chair, looking very tired.

Daobi Li stood up again, took out a colander, scooped up the floating dumplings in the pot one by one, put them on a plate and handed it to Huoqiu Li:

"You work the hardest, so you eat first."

Huoqiu Li raised his head and took a look. The tiredness on his face disappeared completely and he smiled:

"Why no wine?"

"How about I find you two sisters-in-law?" Shandianli asked back.

Huoqiuli sniffed and picked up the spoon and chopsticks: "It's not impossible."

All the Lu Li rolled their eyes.

Detective Li spoke calmly:

"Let's wait until the crisis is over before drinking."

"Of course, I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere." Huoqiuli laughed and started putting dumplings into his mouth.

However, the dumplings had just come out of the pot, and each one was as hot as burning charcoal.

The fireball Li didn't even blow on it, but just put it into his mouth in big gulps.

After a while, he was sweating profusely from eating.

But Huoqiuli did not show any pain at all. Instead, after eating, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"happy!"

He put down his spoon and chopsticks, stood up and glanced at the crowd, smiled and said:

"Everyone, take your time eating. I'll be leaving first."

"There's no need to be so anxious..." Armor Li muttered softly, glancing at the little black snake still coiled on his shoulder from the corner of his eye.

Upon hearing this, the other Lu Lis all looked over.

Seeing that the little black snake was still sleeping, they gradually looked away.

"Of course he's in a hurry. He has the most talents and abilities, and the heaviest tasks." Inspector Li picked up another plate of raw dumplings and poured them into the pot.

"If Yongye has the means to choose to descend into the container, then Fireball Li, who has obtained the data panel and restored 90% of his strength, will definitely be the first to bear the brunt."

"If we don't hurry up and increase the tolerance, he might be 'topped' by Yongye before he's ready."

"Well, that makes sense." Armor Li nodded:

"Then let's eat quickly and make the best use of the time to perfect the follow-up plan and try to add a few more insurances to increase the margin for error!"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the colander, ready to scoop the dumplings out of the pot.

The detective stretched out the long chopsticks in his hand and said to stop him:

"There's no need to rush."

"We brothers still have time to have a good meal."

"I have already informed Mr. Lin in advance. I think the preparations will be almost done after tonight."

"The remaining task is to cooperate with Lin Qinyue to remove the 'Faith Anchor Point' and wake up the monitor as soon as possible."
