"Hey, introduce us!" Hao Jian nudged Chen Huojian.
"Don't you know he's a fraud?" Chen Huojian asked in surprise, wondering why Hao Jian, knowing that Li Tamade was deceiving people, still planned to join them.
"Exactly because we know, that's why we came here, to expose him," Hao Jian said.
"Maybe you should reconsider, this Li Tamade is quite lecherous. And with so many of his followers here, if he takes a liking to your female companions, there's no way they can escape."
Chen Huojian hesitated a bit since Li Tamade had more than once taken advantage of female followers, usually deceiving them first, and if that failed, forcing them. In any case, he always got his way with them.
Once they joined this Emperor's palace, those female followers had absolutely no autonomy.
"No worries, you just introduce us, we will handle the rest," Hao Jian said carelessly.
Chen Huojian sighed, then walked forward, knelt down before Li Tamade with a stiff expression, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a few important people who would like to join our sect."
Li Tamade was somewhat surprised to still see Chen Huojian here considering he had ordered him to be beaten before. How could he still willingly serve him?
Li Tamade was doubtful of Chen Huojian's loyalty.
However, this doubt completely disappeared the moment Li Tamade laid his eyes on the beauty of Guo Shuxian and the other two women. He unabashedly scanned the three women, his lustful gaze overt.
What a catch! All of them are stunning!
Three different styles show up at once. Is Heaven favoring me?
The thought of indulging in pleasures with these three beauties brought a joyous smile to Li Tamade's face.
"It's not impossible to join our sect, but I need to ask you a few questions first," Li Tamade coughed pretentiously and said solemnly.
"Do you have dreams?"
"What kind of dumb question is that?" Che Xiaoxiao muttered under her breath.
"We certainly do have dreams," Guo Shuxian answered in agreement.
"And what is your dream?" Li Tamade asked with a sleazy grin, his eyes freely roaming over Guo Shuxian's voluptuous body.
"To punish the evil and eradicate all bad elements that disturb public order!" Guo Shuxian answered fiercely.
Li Tamade's expression became very animated, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Well, your dream, cough, is excellent. Keep it up."
"And you, Chen Huojian? Is your dream still alive?" Li Tamade asked Chen Huojian.
"I just want to get the money I was conned out of," Chen Huojian said expressionlessly.
But before he could finish, Hao Jian and Zhao Yating each smacked the back of Chen Huojian's head.
"And you?" Li Tamade then turned to Hao Jian.
"Dreams? I've forgotten such things a long time ago," Hao Jian sighed deeply, making a very melancholic and sorrowful face.
"Then what are you doing here?" Li Tamade got angry, this kid was even better at acting than him.
"Get out!" Li Tamade roared.
"Sigh, if you don't even have a proper dream, what are you doing in our Emperor's palace? Are you really believers?" Li Tamade doubted the identity of Hao Jian and the others.
Hao Jian crossed his arms, "Dreams can be set now. We mainly came because we heard about you. We heard you master witchcraft, and we wonder if you could let us witness it. If we see that you truly practice witchcraft, then we'll decide to join."
Guo Shuxian pinched Hao Jian and whispered, "You haven't forgotten the original purpose of our visit, have you? Couldn't we just have someone grab him?"
"Wouldn't it be more fun to strip off this guy's pretense and then punish him? Anyway, your people aren't arriving that soon, so let's have some fun first," Hao Jian laughed.
"How dare you deceive the Emperor, get out!"
"The Emperor, being the true dragon's son, obviously wouldn't perform for you."
A group of followers all scolded Hao Jian and his group.
Hearing the followers' shouts, Li Tamade laughed even more smugly.
"Very well, let all you witness my Divine Might!" Li Tamade said pretentiously, then struck a pose and started chanting as if he were summoning spirits.
"Oh spirits of heaven and earth, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, make your presence known, hey!" Li Tamade patted Che Xiaoxiao's shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Che Xiaoxiao looked at Li Tamade, puzzled.
"Didn't you say you wanted to become a super beautiful girl?" Li Tamade chuckled.
Che Xiaoxiao was startled, then looked down and involuntarily gasped, as her clothing had somehow gained a layer of the garb of a magical girl warrior.
"She really turned into a magical girl warrior!" Zhao Yating exclaimed, covering her mouth with a hand.
"What on earth is going on?" Guo Shuxian was equally baffled.
"He must have pulled some trick." Che Xiaoxiao was certain, recalling how Chen Huojian was fooled by Li Tamade. She looked at Hao Jian, "Right, Hao Jian?"
"You damn sir, if you need anything else in the future, just command me," Hao Jian bowed deeply to Li Tamade at this moment.
"I'm the one involved, and you, an onlooker, are getting all excited for what?" Che Xiaoxiao yelled.
Li Tamade had a vein bulge: "It's Li Tamade's."
"Alright, your ****** highness."
"We'll hold him up here, you go find the safe," Guo Shuxian told Chen Huojian.
Chen Huojian nodded, then discreetly retreated.
"Now do you believe in my Divine Might?" Li Tamade laughed heartily.
"Your ****** highness, please fulfill my wish as well," Hao Jian looked towards Li Tamade with hopeful eyes.
"He's beyond saving," Guo Shuxian sighed, covering her face and shaking her head.
"If I'd known this guy was so uncompromising, I wouldn't have brought him along from the start," Che Xiaoxiao agreed with Guo Shuxian's sentiment.
Li Tamade's expression immediately stiffened; all he could do was fool people with little magic tricks. How could he possibly make someone's private parts grow by five centimeters?
Li Tamade coughed twice: "Well, I can only cast spells once a day, so I'll help you achieve your dream tomorrow."
Suddenly, Li Tamade turned his gaze to Guo Shuxian and the other two women, with a sly smile, said:
"I see extraordinary potential in you three, therefore, I intend to make you my consorts. Would you like to share in eternal glory and boundless wealth with me?"
