Chapter 718 This time, I won't hesitate anymore.
The Aodu Building, three underground floors, is an armory.
"Is there any way to kill that old hag Xie Feng?" Ye Nanxiao strolled around in front of the weapon safes, stopping in front of one every now and then.
"Little Eleven, do you have any good ideas?"
Feng Shiyi followed behind Ye Nanxiao, several sharp blades twirling between her fingers. Hearing Ye Nanxiao's question, she casually replied, "There are several level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells over there, two of which are high-temperature explosive shells. You can use your clone self-destruct technique."
"High-temperature explosive bomb, huh? It doesn't feel powerful enough. A thermal explosion bomb might be about right, but it hurts too much." Ye Nanxiao turned to look at the blocking safe that contained the level 9 soul-guided cannon shell.
His clone self-destruction technique, if timed precisely, can cancel the clone before it explodes, so the transmitted pain is less.
"Old Yu recently developed the 'Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Bullet' that you proposed before. Its initial assessment indicates that its power is in the high-end range of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon. Once the Chamber of Commerce gets a few more, you and I will go and take care of the enemy," Feng Shiyi said calmly.
"That won't do. This thing explodes too fast. You should stay here; it's safer." Ye Nanxiao reached out and stroked a weapon safe in front of him, opening it with a series of combination keys.
Feng Shiyi glanced at Ye Nanxiao indifferently and said in a mournful tone, "If you like it, that's fine. I don't know who kidnapped me and all my sisters back then, claiming they wanted to strengthen their power. Now, they've just left us here to rust."
Ye Nanxiao turned and glared at Feng Shiyi, whose mournful tone gave him goosebumps.
The dashing and heroic Phoenix Lady suddenly transforms into a sorrowful, secluded young woman.
"Can't take it anymore? I'll continue if you don't give me a straight answer." Feng Shiyi's lips curled into a contemptuous smile.
"What reply?" Ye Nanxiao asked as he stuffed the large weapon from the safe into his storage ring.
Feng Shiyi put away the blade in her hand, reached out and turned Ye Nanxiao to face her, pressing him against the weapon cabinet. Her slightly narrow phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light, as if a raging fire was hidden within them.
She had previously been annoyed that her boss was going to be a hands-off manager again, leaving the entire Aodu Building to her and then going off to enjoy his own life.
But when she saw Old Zhang walk out properly with a serious expression, she realized that something serious had probably happened again.
With worry in mind, Feng Shiyi began to analyze word by word what Ye Nanxiao had said to her before entering the tea room.
She suddenly realized that Ye Nanxiao's words implied an explanation of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
If Ye Nanxiao handed the Chamber of Commerce over to her, it meant either he wanted to quit and live a carefree life, or he could no longer control it.
This idea terrified Feng Shiyi, and she kept reassuring herself that it was just an exaggerated thought.
But the idea was ingrained in her mind and could not be erased.
"What exactly happened when you said you wanted me to be the big boss of Aodu?" Feng Shiyi pressed down on Ye Nanxiao, preventing him from getting up and escaping, while using her other hand to pry open his cold face.
"Oh, it's very simple. You got a promotion and a raise. Aren't you happy?" Ye Nanxiao put on a standard smile. He had forgotten about it and didn't expect Feng Shiyi to react so strongly.
"Promotion? Raise?" Feng Shiyi emphasized these two words.
"Yes, yes, look, now that branches have been established in various places, your boss is busy dealing with the Holy Spirit Cult's research on soul guides. In addition, I originally planned to leave the Aodu Building to you." Ye Nanxiao pressed down on Feng Shiyi's small hand that was resting on his shoulder.
With the power of his clone, he could easily break free from Feng Shiyi's suppression.
"Are you leaving?" Feng Shiyi loosened her grip and crossed her arms over her chest.
"No, no, what are you thinking about, Little Eleven?" Ye Nanxiao continued loading weapons. Fortunately, the Aodu Building had always been a huge money-making machine, and the continuous flow of money was enough to support him in constantly expanding and replenishing his armory.
"If I become the big boss, what will you be?" Feng Shiyi lowered her head slightly, her phoenix eyes shining brightly in the dim light.
"Me? I'll still be your boss, but the kind of big boss who doesn't have to work and just spends his days fishing and drinking tea. Hiring employees is just a way to free myself up and relax, right?" Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
"The man behind us? Aren't you the man now? You big salted fish, Ye!" Feng Shiyi punched Ye Nanxiao on the shoulder.
"Alright, alright! My dutiful employee, please forgive your wandering boss!" Ye Nanxiao straightened the ring, pushed Feng Shiyi around, and headed towards the elevator.
Under Feng Shiyi's disdainful gaze, Ye Daxianyu mailed himself an armory supply package and then disconnected from his clone's mental connection.
"The main body is gone? Then I'm going to farm. I haven't planted the seeds I recently got yet." Little Leaf No. 3 walked leisurely towards his farming base with his hands behind his back, like an old man.
Feng Shiyi's eyes flickered with gloom. After standing there for a while, she walked straight to Ye Nanxiao's office. Perhaps only there could she sense the aura of her unconventional boss.
"I'm the man behind you, I can't break my promise this time."
On the other hand, after leaving the Aodu Building, Long Xiaoyao transformed into a black streak of light and headed straight east.
Before a powerhouse like him, the vast continent seemed like a garden, where every stroll revealed a new vista.
Nestled between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire, lies a nearly abandoned border town.
Long Xiaoyao quietly landed in this small town.
The town had been abandoned for many years. The city lord's mansion and the police station had been withdrawn, and the people had gradually moved to the more prosperous cities nearby. As a result, only a few wandering knights or vagrants remained in the city.
Long Xiaoyao glanced around, his body rippling with water, and strode forward.
Along the way, one could occasionally see wandering knights using abandoned houses as their base, but none of them could see Long Xiaoyao walking on the street.
Long Xiaoyao, familiar with the area, led the way to a small house in a residential area of the city.
He pushed open the courtyard gate, flicked his sleeve, and the resulting gust of wind blew away all the dust in the courtyard.
"I thought you old codger weren't coming."
A hunched figure pushed open the small door of the house, leaning on a cane, and stood smiling at Long Xiaoyao in the doorway.
"Am I late, old man?" Long Xiaoyao laughed and walked into the house.
The room was poorly furnished, with only two wooden beds and a small wooden table.
Two cups of hot tea were already set on the small wooden table, still steaming.
"Moun, after all these years, you've finally changed your taste! Good tea!" Long Xiaoyao picked up the teacup and took a big gulp.
The latest novel is first published here!
Mu En leisurely walked over and sat down opposite Long Xiaoyao, picked up his teacup, and chuckled, "This was a gift from my student. You're getting a good deal, old man!"
"Speak, what is it that you summoned me before the agreed time?"
Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao sighed and said, "There's bad news, and there's even worse news."
"Tell me, after all these years, have you brought any good news?" Mu En smiled and picked up the small teapot to pour tea for Long Xiaoyao.
"First, as you probably guessed, this is what I look like right now." Long Xiaoyao patted his face.
Moon opened his eyes wide, the wrinkles around them so deep they looked like dead wood, enough to trap a mosquito.
"Look at your annoying old face, it seems you've successfully brought Xiaoxi to her senses?"
Since the day that the two Holy Dragons withdrew from the competition, Ye Xishui's mental state has been greatly stimulated, and she has become crazy.
"Yes, this is all thanks to my newly recognized good grand-disciple, oh right, it's Ye Nanxiao." Long Xiaoyao said with a smug smile.
Mu En frowned slightly, reached out and took the teacup from in front of Long Xiaoyao. "I knew you old codger wouldn't bring any good news! Don't drink the tea! Get it from your grand-disciple!"
This tea was given to him by Ye Nanxiao, which is a good deal for that old bastard Long Xiaoyao!
"Stingy!" Long Xiaoyao rolled his eyes at Mu En.
"And what's the second piece of bad news?" Moon asked.
"It's also about Ye Nanxiao," Long Xiaoyao said softly, his eyes lowered.
Old Mu frowned, realizing that things seemed to be more complicated than they appeared. The last time he had seen Long Xiaoyao like this was a hundred years ago, in the days immediately following the end of their duel between the two Holy Dragons.
For Ye Xishui's sake, Long Xiaoyao willingly entered the Life and Spirit Cult.
"Speak quickly!" Mu En lost his composure as the head of the Sea God Pavilion in front of Long Xiaoyao.
Long Xiaoyao gazed at his old friend's weathered face, lost in thought for a moment. Only after Mu En repeated his words did he say, "Xiao Xi has her eye on my grand-disciple!"
"What!" Moon shouted, standing up abruptly, knocking over the teacups on the table and spilling tea.
Seeing his old friend in such a distraught state, Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but smile wryly. "I only recently learned about this myself. I calmed Xiaoxi down and went to see my grand-disciple just now, only to find out that this wasn't the first time he'd been targeted; he'd been targeted by Xie Feng before!"
With a somber expression and his eyes closed, Moon paced back and forth in the cramped room.
Long Xiaoyao sat there, his gaze fixed on the wooden bed against the wall. On the wooden frame, there was still a piece of linen used for covering, but it had been eroded by time and only a small piece remained.
This place was once one of the places where the three of them stopped during their travels, carrying their memories that they could never return to.
After a long silence, Moon finally spoke, "The fact that you've brought this up means you've already made your decision, right?"
"Of course, old friend, this time I won't hesitate anymore. I won't let Xiaoxi make a move. I'll wait until the time is right, and then I'll take her far away and escape completely!" Long Xiaoyao said firmly.
Last time, his hesitation caused the three of them, who were once very close, to fall apart!
This time, he won't hesitate anymore!
