Who hid My Corpse!

Bai Wei's sudden voice startled Lair, causing him to tremble so much that he couldn't even hold the cigarette he had just taken a puff of, and it fell right onto his crotch, scalding him with a shiver.

"Oh my... Honorable Lord Visas!" Lair's strong survival instinct forced him to swallow back the curse words that almost slipped out, "You, you are awake."

Bai Wei responded with a light "hmm."

Lair awkwardly patted his smoking crotch, then cautiously asked, "When did you wake up?"

"Probably when you were inspecting those goods."

"Uh."

Lair scratched his head, suddenly realizing a serious problem: he still didn't know Lord Visas's preferences. If Lord Visas leaned towards the Righteous Sect, wouldn't he be dancing on the edge of a cliff with his current actions?

So he cautiously asked, "Lord Visas, if you don't like these..."

"Don't worry, I have no particular preferences," Bai Wei said leisurely, "As long as you don't interfere with my affairs, you can do whatever you like. I can even lend you my power; it depends on what you want to do."

Lord Visas's power?!

At this, Lair instinctively got excited, but the excitement didn't last long, as he couldn't help but remember when Lord Visas lent him power a few days ago.

It was said to be lent, but in reality, his body was controlled, and he didn't feel anything, as if he had just slept.

That would have been fine, but when he woke up, he started vomiting blood as if he was about to die, leaving him fearful even now. So he awkwardly said, "Uh, well, maybe..."

"It's different from last time," Bai Wei said calmly, "Last time, I used your body to do my own things. Next time, I can lend you my power completely, allowing you to do what you want, but only once."

"Only once?"

"Yes," Bai Wei said with a smile, "because that one time will cost your life."

Lair, who had been somewhat expectant, immediately pulled back at the mention of losing his life, with an awkward smile: "Uh, I appreciate your generosity, but I probably... perhaps... might not need it. Hahaha, I don't really have anything I want to do on my own, definitely not."

"Don't be nervous, I'm not forcing you to use it," Bai Wei laughed, "I'm just giving you the chance, how you choose is up to you."

"Alright, okay!"

Lair nodded repeatedly, internally praying for the subject to change quickly. Continuing this topic felt like Lord Visas's next step would be forcing him to die, which truly scared him. So he quickly changed the topic: "Lord Visas, did you wake up this time to have me find that person?"

Bai Wei responded with a "hmm": "Prepare yourself, tomorrow, as the Envoy of the Contract Land, take him into the No-man's Land."

"Alright, alright, no problem, I'll just... uh?" Mid-sentence, Lair suddenly froze, "No, No-man's Land?"

"Yes," Bai Wei feigned ignorance, asking, "Is there a problem?"

"No, not really a problem," Lair said somewhat stammeringly, "I, I'm just curious, are you planning to make a move on him in the No-man's Land?"

"Yes."

Lair opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Heading back to the No-man's Land already? He wasn't mentally prepared at all.

Five years ago, when he left his wife and children, leaving his hometown, he had resolutely decided not to return unless he made a name for himself. But now... has he really made a name for himself?

Lair looked down at himself.

Still dressed in rags, with barely any money in his pocket, still not a Gold Merchant. Apart from being Lord Visas's lapdog, he had no achievements to speak of, definitely not making a name for himself. Although Lord Visas's name was indeed well known, no one in his backward place knew who that was, and he really didn't know how he could boast about himself.

Of course, more importantly, he still wasn't prepared to face his hometown.

"Is there a problem?" Bai Wei asked.

Although Bai Wei's tone wasn't impatient, it still gave Lair a start, and he quickly shook his head, "No, no, no problems, none at all."

He didn't dare mention his wife or children to Bai Wei, on any level, so he could only brace himself and hold on.

"Tell him to follow you into the No-man's Land, but he will likely refuse," Bai Wei leisurely said, "If he refuses, don't force it; just affirm your identity as the Envoy of the Contract Land."

Upon hearing that the other party might refuse, Lair heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't ask why and just kept nodding, "I understand, rest assured, Lord Visas, I'll definitely handle this for you, you just watch."

"I certainly will only watch," Bai Wei said, "During that time, I won't speak or guide you on what to do; you'll have to rely entirely on your instincts."

"Uh." Bai Wei's words left Lair somewhat uneasy, "Could that person perceive your presence?"

"Not quite," Bai Wei said calmly, "but that eye of his can capture details that ordinary people can't. When you talk to me, even if it's in your mind, your expression will change, and he can capture that change. Do you understand?"
